                                                                        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
