Panini Sticker Collection

My life is littered with unfinished projects. None epitomise this quite like my World Cup Italia 1990 sticker album, missing approximately 70% of the greatest haircuts known to mankind. When finding this amazing time capsule of footballing history in my old junk at home, I was disappointed to find page after page of empty spaces, missing the likes of Donadoni, Romario, Valderrama, Klinsmann and, er, Ally McCoist. Panini football sticker collections, like reading War and Peace (never done it) and committing tax evasion (umm, never done it), need to be stuck at and seen through.

Like my DJ decks, electric/acoustic guitars, skateboard, two surfboards, flute(!), tape cassette wallet making business, hundred half read books, etc, the Panini sticker book was unceremoniously thrown onto the unfinished business pile. Actually, maybe it should be called the redundant pile. Unfinished business suggests I will revisit and resurrect these projects.

All of these things mount up after time. You constantly look for the one thing that you are either really good at or really want to do. I guess I was looking for that one thing for around 28 years. On the 4th of December 2010 I found that one thing and I didn't even realise it. I became a dad. This is one thing that I will strive to be good at and never give up on.
