The Ambohidratimo Times is definitely not a daily paper ! Hahaa… But things are meant to change, aren’t they ? I really got to be more constant on this thing, otherwise why having created it (I think when I started the blog it was bad-timing. To much whiskies in the body lately, couldn’t get focused ! ) It could also help to shorten my posts which could be a good thing as I got the bad feeling I’m typing 100 000 (meanless) words a post !
So a little more than a week ago, it was still 2009. At the Eve, everybody was kissing everybody, welcoming the new year by wishing each other the best… just to be huffy two days later ! Funny how people have short memories. I clearly remember last year. Same situation, just like them, I was happy-faced like mu’f*cker and at the end… baam, the sh*tiest year I’ve personaly seen in Madagascar !
A former DJ who probably never opened a book other than the instruction manual of the CDJ-2000 decided to run the country, countless people had been shot to death at the Presidential palace, riots everywhere, endless curfews, my people getting more and more poor… and to finish in style Barack kicked us out of the AGOA ! So Happy New Year my a$$, the next is gonna be worse ! Of course I’m wishing everybody a BEAUTIFUL NEW YEAR ! I just got no faith that we’re gonna have a nice one down here.
Resolutions suck. I made some every new year. Never stuck to it. Maybe because they’re meanless most of the time. 6 years I’m trying to quit smoking ! What’s the point ? I love smoking. So last year for 2009 I made a resolution. Of course. Me and my partner in crime were just gonna be on the top spot. Hahaaa… The riots I was talking about started on the second time our studio worked ! In the middle of a shooting session, we heard explosions and detonations like we were in Bagdad (I suppose so, never been in Iraq !) From that point I knew MY year was gonna be f*ked up, it was in… January 2009 ! Fortunately for my man, he had a daily job so at least one of us was OK.
I stopped making resolutions. Decisions are better (not sure there’s actually a difference ! what a moron !) So… Decicions. I like the term. Right ones preferably and job-wise mostly as I’m mad broke right now ! I only found 3 to make this far. Ouch !
First constantly creating. Love that. If there is one positive thing about 2009, it’s the tons of time I could spend in front of my computer and sketch book filling blank pages. Plus few shots I took here and there…
Then putting portfolios online. Yep I really got to. As all my works are stuck at home, it doesn’t really make sense, just flattering my ego. I must admit, I wasn’t (and am still not) especially thrilled about it. With all those malagasy talents out there… LTR, Rado, Teza, Livelys, Ridha, Chochol and so… the level is stupidly high !!! I was telling myself : ‘I will post the day I get close to their level’. I think that day is Friday the 10th, 2042 !!! Hahahaaa… Plus, and I’m not really proud of it cause I hate acting like that, my motivation is boosted by those no-lifers eating on our plate and thinking that this job is just a game. They really start to get on my nerve but… this is an other subject and probably a post.
And last but not least, focusing on the studio. Focusing on the studio. Focusing on the studio. FOCUSING ON THE STUDIO !!!
Aight I’m done. I got to go… focus on the studio. Brown And Sexy Eyes peeps, please stand up for 2010 !
Siks e, dia bonané daholo foana na dia mbola misavoritaka aza ny tanana ! ;-)
