                                                                        For anyone who cares , New Years Eve has this unchangeable , unrelenting way of stressing to us all , that no matter what had happened in the outgoing year , there can always be a hope that the incoming year might just change a little . Fortunes might just pick up , your mentality might have just needed the closure of the year to give you that extra burst you really know you will have to have when the New Year begins . Saying goodbye to a Year is pretty daunting . I do realize it's just saying goodbye to the old  . But it's not just like any other day , whether ...

Oh Don't you really Want to Hurt These Scumbags ?                                                                            Before I get to the stage where I am wishing all and sundry a Happy New Year , I just want to let you in on something that happened last night to one of my neighbours .                                                       ...

                                                                     As its getting closer to the end of the year , and we start thinking and mulling over the last twelve months , and what we achieved , and the chances we should have taken , or the chances we're glad that we didn't take , it just goes to prove how ultimately we are at the discretion of some bigger plan . Destiny if you like that term . Fate is another one to consider . But what is perfectly obvious is the fact that huge amounts of this and that were certainly not part of your agenda for 2016 .                           ...

                                                                   I'm having to use a lot more hair styling product these days  than ever I Not quite this bad , but I think you get the Message ! used to . To be quite honest with you , I never used to use any at all . But I don't know what it is about this year , but every time I wash my hair and then towel dry it , all I am left with is this Ginny Joe style spiking on the top of my head . I am , to be really honest with you , starting to get a bit worried about this development , or in my case lack of development , so much so I have taken to using hair product gel . Now I know my hair at the best of t...

                                                                            I've often felt quite small and meaningless , when I considered the position and influence attached to celebrity . You probably understand what I mean when I say , Superstars , Iconic singers in the music business . Celebrity actors and actresses . Just crowds upon crowds of people who you just know you will never meet  in a one to one situation . And this is why we feel so indebted to them all for making us all more complete with their sensitive and emotional words , and their truly memorable performances . We owe them so much if you com...

Happy Christmas !                                                                       Man it's really hard to believe that it was twelve months ago when I wrote a blog wishing one and all a very happy Christmas . Doesn't time really fly when you're trying to have a little bit of fun ? The new year passed as it always does with so many resolutions unfulfilled . I know , we all tried our best , but we really weren't made to voluntarily deny ourselves some of the rather luscious things in life were we ? Life's too short to cut ourselves off at the knee , so that we have to stumble along instead of gracefully dancing our way into a brand new yea...

Shameful !                                                                              I have been advocating revolution for many years now . I have always been of the opinion that we the majority are just not getting our fair crack of the whip as the saying goes . And when Christmas comes round it is never more obvious than it is when you see the lack of human consideration for others . Yes there are cases of sheer laziness that tends to influence us into thinking that the majority of those in need are the same . But we must change that frame of mind if we are ever to understand what makes someone destitute...

                                                                          What is the single most important thing you can do to put your mind at ease ? Where does the drive come from that pushes you forward wanting to do more , and more importantly needing to do more ? Because at the best of times we tend to settle for something a little short of what you might call acceptable . We never truly test ourselves when it comes to personal endeavour . We settle for what we call the comfort result , though lacking in depth , it does give us the feeling of wanting to have earned that self clap on the back .     ...

                                                                    We went shopping today ! Nothing so out of the ordinary that you might think to yourself , Yes so What ?  But in our little world of keeping it together when we are just getting over a demon of a flu , it kinda felt like the right time to share with you all  this truly wondrous occasion . We had been housebound for an incredible 2-3 weeks . And in no real mood or humor to even attempt any sort of escape from our self imposed isolation .                         ...

                                                                    Have you ever felt that your decisions and how you make them , has really nothing at all to do with you ? Have you ever asked yourself in the middle of making one of these momentous decisions that if in the middle of making it you change your mind a couple of times just to see what the outcome would look or sound like ? I do it all of the time , because I am of the opinion that no matter what you decide , there is always , always some sort of manipulation going on with regard to the decision and more especially the outcome of that decision . Think about it for one little moment . From the t...

                                                                         When the mind is tired , we become so open to influences we wouldn't normally consider . Influences that we would normally ignore with the wave of a hand . But because our tiredness has had a real effect on our willingness to argue and disagree , we tend to consider , or even accept something that we should simply refuse to entertain in any shape or form . And as is sometimes the case , an individual , or in some cases individuals , see that your normal wall of protection has been slightly lowered because of said tiredness , see an opportunity to take advantage...

My Name is BASTARD !                                                                       For the last two weeks , something quite strange and unnerving has been happening in our humble household . My wife and I have spoken seriously about this , and have been at our wits end trying to deal with this problem . You will be familiar with my episode two weeks ago when I had these couple of procedures ? Well ever since then , and on the day after these procedures were done , I was introduced to this ( And all I can call it without really losing the Head ) is a Fucking Bastard of a Bug .                                                            ...

Are you For Real ?                                                                              I suppose there are times when you read one of my blogs that may remind you of things in your own life . Probably because whatever I am ranting about , or just whatever I am offering has some sort of familiar ring to it . I do that to placate myself , I also do it so as I won't feel too alone in the world when it comes to the good experiences and the bad . You see I like to share of myself and of my sometimes bitter perceptions of things . Its not something I do intentionally , its more like what is there to be had...

                                                                   Have had a really Shit Awful day ! Things will be back to normal tomorrow with a little bit of luck ! Thanks for your patience .                                                                      xoxox

                                                                      Its getting toward the end of the current year , and already I am wishing it gone . Not that I am wishing my life away , more like just get it over with and let us try and begin again on hopefully a better note . Its getting to the point that come the evening time , when you have a little time to reflect on whats gone on during your day , you just know in your heart of hearts it could have gone maybe a little better . With a little less drama , and more of a constructive contribution from ourselves .Something that you can sit back and look upon as being more in the way you would...

The Palmyra Atoll as uninhabited as you can get !                                                                      Hello from Pantomime land . It gives me great satisfaction to inform you all that the reactions to my previous post Thanksgiving Hypocrites have gone viral . O k maybe I am being a little dramatic in describing it that way , but it certainly had a good few comments agreeing with my description and estimation of a holiday that is so hypocritical , that when thought about it really makes an outsider , and maybe a lot of insiders too , want to just vomit . All of this self-righteousness , and we are the chosen ones to protect this ail...

                                                                         And so your last Thursday in November that always signifies Thanksgiving , has come and passed , and you're all probably worn out from all of the back patting that has gone on for the last few days . You may have even survived being in the same company as your brothers and sisters , hopefully without slitting each others throats . Sat down to dinner , drank a few drinks and chatted about the local gossip and news wherever you happen to be from . All in all the usual crock of shit that's been going on for  hundreds of years . Nothing really changes . ...

                                                                  WITH SO MUCH NEGATIVITY AROUND , I AM TRYING MY BEST TO STAY POSITIVE ! NEVER REALIZED HOW FU..... DAMN HARD IT CAN BE !

                                                                      There were many attempts to be the first person to fly in the early years of the Twentieth Century . But finally on October the 5th 1905 Wilbur Wright piloted The Flyer the third for 39 minutes and flew 24 miles of circles around Huffman Prairie . He basically flew the first practical airplane until it ran out of petrol . Think about it . And while doing that , just realize that that first venture into manned flight was only , only 111 years ago . I was born in 1953 , and while I have never considered it until now actually , that 48 years previous to my birth , this giant leap w...
