THE HENWATCH BLOG

                                                                  Sometimes it's so much easier to say yes than to go through the motions of a no , and encounter a tirade of misunderstandings and apologies . There's a time you come to in your life when arguing over the wingspan of a fly is no longer that important to you any more . It was never that important to be honest , but it was always made to seem important because someone else had their opinion and you had yours . And as we all know opinions are like assholes , everybody has one !                                                                   Trying to make sense of why , when and how never actually made sense to begin with . You always gave your side , and your opinion , and depending on how your mood was at that particular time , it had the possibility of appearing like world war three .. So taking that stance will always be fraught with words of anger , and a possible falling out with someone . So unless you wan

                                                                    Following on from yesterday's blog , I just want to share with you all some of my newest observations . As you know this is something I like to do , and from the reaction to yesterdays piece , some of these observations may just strike a chord somewhere along the internet line , hopefully bringing an agreement to something you were already considering or thinking about .                                                                    As an avid follower of world news and events , I always take an interest in comments and interference made by other countries in relation to our political status on this side of the world . As you probably all know by now the United Kingdom are giving their electorate a chance to decide their future , by having a referendum on whether to stay in the E.U. or not . At least no matter what the outcome is , the electorate will be able to say to themselves at least they had a vote on t

                                                                           Listening to politicians and their promises and all of the things they are going to do when they get elected can be rather annoying at times . You see , if you don't know already , I am always on the lookout for people who just might mean what they say when they decide to try and get themselves elected . I always look for a kind of sincerity that is always sadly lacking in the majority of our elected representatives . A look that says I mean what I say , and am prepared to lose everything in my quest to try and change things for the better . I am going to put my political life and character on the line for the people who mandated me to do certain things on their behalf . I will be true to my backers and followers , and if I fail it won't be for the lack of effort on my behalf .                                                                           That's what I would like to see in someone I jus

                                                                     For most of my life , I've either been too critical of things , or not critical enough . It's about striking an even balance I suppose . It's just not healthy to be going on about things day in day out . I mean besides wearing yourself out , you'll start doin other people's heads in . You'd probably lose the few good friends you do have , but it could be helpful in getting rid of those friends ( and we all know who they are ) , that you want to get rid of anyway . So be careful what you say about things , and more importantly how you say it , you never know it could be the undoing of you .                                                                     While I am of the opinion that in some circumstances , the least that is said the better . Sometimes an issue can be so fresh and open just like a festering wound , that to add salt to the argument might just get you into a shit load of tro

How I would Like to Remember Him !                                                                      Its with great sadness that I am writing this piece . The news of the untimely death of Prince has kinda knocked us all off center a little . As we all know he was that flamboyant entertainer who just couldn't wear his clothes tight enough . He preached everything from enjoying being blown away by a Little Red Corvette , to rocking smoothly in the midst of some Peculiar but apt Purple Rain . He was five years younger than me when he died , and that's why I use the term untimely , when I think of how the Little Man lived .                                                                     He was a revolutionary both in his music and in his attitude toward being Owned by  a recording label . We have all grown to understand why he fought for his craft and his position . I loved him . He was different , he was electric , he was hypnotic , but most of all he was serious abo

                                                                         I love dogs ! I love puppies ! Now I don't know if many of you out there have decided to share your lifetime in the company of dogs , but my wife and I have always been of the opinion that a house is not a home without the company of a dog .                                                                         Its a very easy decision to make as a couple , whether you are going to have a dog or not . If one of you just can't stand dogs , then there really is no point in having one . The poor dog will never understand why you are so cold to the animal , but in your mind its just, dogs don't do it for you . And that's ok , not everyone has that calling . But if you're going to have a dog make sure both of you are on the same page , simple really . The Picture Says It All !                                                                         That brings me quickly to the reason for thi

                                                                         Have you ever noticed how when you are enjoying yourself , time seems to flash past without so much as a by your leave ? And when you try to recall all of those precious enjoyable moments you've just spent , they are but a blur on the landscape ? And alright , you have your photo's to remind you of how good that time was , but experiencing those passages of time is what makes life worth living . But unfortunately like everything else , trying to recreate a moment in time that was utter joy , is as impossible as it is to try and create a home without a family . Try as you may the timing of such things will never flash in front of you ever again . You see in my experience , I have found time to be very fleeting in its nature . You can try and slow down an experience , but ultimately it will always be destined to end . Just as sure as the sun will rise in the morning , it will set in the evening no matter wh
