It is an annual ritual for me, during the week between Christmas and New Year, to relive the year I’ve just lived through, take stock of the lessons that can be learned from my mistakes and celebrate my achievements and triumphs. And thanks to Facebook’s new Timeline profiles, we are living the most heavily documented lives that any human beings have ever lived in history.
January 24th – Did my first stock trade. Bought shares in Centamin Egypt and made a profit of around £50 in 3 hours without doing anything. It was to be the first of many.
March 28th – Learned to ski in Italy. Very, very enjoyable week.
May 19th to 22nd – Went to New York City for the first time. Enjoyed it.
June 11th – Got my first acting credit in the Superman fan film Superman: Requiem. First time on a film set too. Lot of fun.
June 18th – Went to Film School at the Hollywood Film Institute’s London boot camp.
August 7th – Asked my girlfriend out. She said yes.
August 18th – Went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the first time. Was a barrel of laughs. Enjoyed very much.
September 2nd – Turned 26. Had a party. Was nice.
September 22nd – Got another acting credit and did my first fight scene in the short action film “The Extraction” with Tony Cook on location in Essex. More fun times.
October 10th - Made £1000 profit in 24 hours on the stock market dealing Amazon.com shares.
…And Thank You
To conclude, I’d just like to thank everybody who has contributed to my 2011. It has been an excellent year and I hope 2012 can be even better. Thank you. And God bless.
