THE HENWATCH BLOG

                                                                        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 you believe it or not , it's the time to begin a new chapter in your life , if you like . The perception will forever be , 1ST January , brand new start .                                                                        And if you were happy with the previous year , well that's okay too . You will continue to do all of the things that

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 .                                                                          I received a phone call from a neighbour of mine last night asking me to call in on his wife as she had just come home to find her house had been broken into . I duly went down and had a look round to make sure her and her two children were safe . What I discovered when I arrived was a home prepared for Christmas just like any other home , trashed and torn asunder .                                                                            One of her children was asleep on the settee , but her other child a daughter only six years old was standing there in absolute shock and crying . Every drawer was emptied in the

                                                                     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 .                                                                     We as individuals always like to think we have our collective fingers on the button . That no matter what happens we will at all times be ready for any eventuality life might like to throw at us . How stupid we can all be . How utterly wrong can a group of individuals be . From day to day we all have our agenda's , either written on some board or me

                                                                   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 times can look pretty awesome . And its because of this feeling of having left my fingers in an electrical socket phenomenon . That I have taken to this rather drastic action .                                                                  When your grandchildren laugh when you make a point that your quiff is starting to o

                                                                            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 come to think about it . And not just for their music I need add . These Superstars have molded our personalities , have shaped our attitudes with their words of hope when hope was needed .They played love with a passion , when love was the only thing we ever wanted to express . And anger , when some group of celebrities took it upon themselves to highlight how the world had

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 year . And yes it's so very hard to ignore those less fortunate , but we were born to just do what we have to do .                                                                      We lost so many of our favourite artists and singers this year . It was a particularly sad year , losing David Bowie , Prince , and just t

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 pushes somebody into being just another statistic when it comes to homelessness . Remember these people weren't always in such a bad way . A lot of these people had jobs just like you and me , and for some reason or another things obviously just fell apart . They lost everything , including their dignity . And if you think about it , losing that dignity that it pro

                                                                          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 truly are a mystery to ourselves at times . We can never just do what's simple , and leave it at that . No we would rather complicate matters with reasons why we shouldn't do that . We can in our expertise at deduction , make a simple reasoning into some sort of Einstein theory of relativity . With its plu

                                                                    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 .                                                                    Normally we would be hosting all sorts of parties at this time of the year , but even our sponsors and their associates have been sent messages of regret and rejection so as not to spread this bastard dose . We were and still are so very disappointed in having to do this , as the Henwatch Christmas seasonal arrangements are so widely known and are always something special to behold .                                  

                                                                    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 time you can choose for yourself without another person like a parent or guardian pointing you in the direction they want you to go , you are being brainwashed and controlled by some unseeing , uncaring , and unapproachable entity .                                                                   Now this entity has many faces , ju

                                                                         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 and get an agreement from you that at a later stage could and sometimes is very hard to retract .                                                                          Now at this stage you would be forgiven for thinking , that I had a very cynical view on all things human and how people behave toward one another . No need for forgiveness here , yo

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 .                                                                      He crawled up on me slowly , giving me a certain sense of foreboding for future days .He tickled my throat till insanity nearly kicked in . He rubbed my brow with a warm fluid just to keep my attention overflowing . While I was asleep he secretly and slyly kicked my ribs ,like some sort of thug you would like to decapitate . He sile

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 in the stereotypical views we tend to digest day in and day out ? You learn nothing from the norm . The norm is what bores us all . You have to step out of your comfort zone to experience real life drama . You have to grab something that has some depth to it . Some meat on its bones , there lies the real reason for our existence .                                         

                                                                   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
