“I’m on a mission,
In the destination unknown…”

Uncategorized

Hi folks, Earlier today I was pondering what to write about. I had thought about doing a version of Desert Island Discs, a favourite radio show of mine. Yes, you know my keenness with music, but truth by told, it is as much the story of the person behind the tracks that interests me. Well, some interviewees, I should add. Sportsfolk don’t interest me so much, so those episodes I tend to overlook. Perhaps it’s because I don’t look into their world so much. Maybe if I did, I’d take more of an interest. Anyhoo, that will have to wait for a little while as I consider a few tracks. T-Town Some weeks (Ed: months?) ago, I talked about the Our […]

“All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world,
So there was only one thing that I could do…”

Hi, Today I have – in the words of Jessie’s Diets – been in a buoyant mood. I think that may be due to a few lucky happen stances, a good night and just life in general being good to me. Even the Friday morning meeting slog didn’t dampen my spirits. I must have been really annoying to work with today. 🙂 Lies, damn lies and statistics I’d like to say a big thank you for those of you who keep coming back, reading and commenting on this little blog of mine. Just this week the stats crept over the 100,000 mark, so thanks everyone. It’s very much appreciated. Chocolottery In terms of little fortunes coming my way, while Chez Jones has yet […]

Hey all, I seem to do most of my blogging in one of two places. At home, where I’m sat comfortably in a large leather chair, tucked away upstairs, but not quite far enough away from the Skype based yells of glee from Wee Man and his on-line gaming buddies. Failing that, at work with a personal laptop late on a Friday. Friday afternoons are funny things. Well, they are to me 🙂 There’s that element of excitement that it’ll be the weekend soon and speaking personally, I find something rather magical about Friday nights. I guess it’s the idea that it’s a gateway to the weekend. So currently, I’m sat at work looking out of the dark glass into the […]

“You know my hips don’t lie,
And I’m starting to feel it’s right”

Uncategorized

Hey, A bit of a late post from me, but it’s been one of those strangely busy evenings. I clearly remember coming home before six and then after that, it was all a bit of a blur. I guess a part of the evening has gone due to the fact that I’ve been setting up a new computer – well, new to me. This one, despite being four years old, is a  quieter and a lot faster than the other cobbled together unit I had. Sometimes, it’s the little things. Plus, that’s a few hundred quit that I don’t need to spend. I’m not a fan of buying gadgets when I can repair / hack something together to meet my […]

Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely…
Not for very much longer.
I’ve got to keep control.

Hi, When the river runs wild, there are a few choices: Stand tall and brave the rage of the waves. Brace against the worst and hope your feet are not pulled from under you. You can let go, follow the flow and try keep your head up. Or you can let it wash over you and pray for the end…. although I wouldn’t recommend the latter. I don’t know why I’m writing the above, but I thought it sounded nice. Maybe there’s something rattling around my subconscious at the mo. Whatever it is, it’s not coming to the fore. Anyhoo, the above was kicked off when I looked at my desktop’s wallpaper. Funny how inspiration strikes you. I mean earlier […]

“When the good comes to bad the bad comes to good,
But I’m a live my life like I should…”

Uncategorized

Hi, I was tempted to say ‘yo’, but I just can’t bring myself for fear that the irony would be missed 🙂 Wednesday and Thursday were very much a chore for some reason. I think it may be because I’d reached the end of catching up on a favourite television series (On-line viewing rules – doubly so with ad-blockers 😀 ) and that work was really dragging. So, I plodded home – as much as one can when driving – through the traffic and after dealing with the nippers, headed off to Chams. I was not in the best of moods when I arrived because I felt short on time. On the upside, when I got back, the Ever Lovely […]
