23rd February 2015: Positive Attitude.

It is with a positive attitude that I sit and observe the rain pouring down through the window, soaking the washing,

hoping for a return of the sun that seemed so content in the sky not more than five minutes ago.

February 12th 2015: a mess.

i may make a mess of my life

or moan that i

may have not 

made enough of life

time and time again

but i revel in the knowledge that i've tried

February 11th 2015: Discontent.

He collected suicides

In a jar of discontent

They all thought him broken

He knew not what they meant

January 18th 2015: hesitation.

Hesitation.

It haunts me.

Hangs in the air beside me, an apparition that seldom leaves me.

Holds me, holds me back.

I hesitate.

August 5th 2014: a handful of plans

a handful of plans
soon descends into
a lunchbox full of post-it notes

26th July 2014: Yes

Yes

You like to tell the world

You like to tell the world that 

The world is wonderful

Giddy praise 

And 

Boastful ways

Here I am

And

Here I am

And 

Don't you wish

You could

Live my

Life

Here

I

Am

Having

Fun

So

Much

Fun

Don't 

You

Wish

You 

Were

Me

22nd July 2014: future lost

a washing up bowl of murky water,
your numbered days are growing shorter,
senses dulled to the future lost,
for without change you'll pay the cost.

15th July 2014: connecting with nothingness

another half hour spent connecting with nothingness
vapid idling becomes the norm
as we socially destruct

too busy to live
and too connected to try
scrolling into an oblivion
where only our screens are illuminating

Time shifter, Still got the hat and the beard

,

40 years on

The hats got mouth holes in it and had the bobble cut off,

I've had bits cut out but not lost my marbles.  

10th November 2013: No Connection

you were here but you were never there because you forgot to make a connection you dazzle me with raw talent a light that shines whilst nobody looks because you was never guilty by association and the fanfare was forfeited paying dues to only you and you alone beyond unknown an unturned stone left by those unlooking they never heard you never stirred by you never moved by what moves me it is out there that connection find it and reach for it because it belongs to you seek it and grasp it and cherish it and make it work for you whilst you work at what you do and make that connection squeeze it and grip it and communicate with the world

Halloween, as we watch TV with one eye on the front-door.

Always enjoy Halloween, a good time to meet the Mum's, Dads and kids
of our community, and reward them for the smiles and banter of the last year.

And I get to eat the leftovers.  

30th September 2013: turning my hand to video reviewing

for an extremely long time i have written music reviews for a handful of websites, including my own blogs

recently, i struck upon the idea of perhaps switching up my style a little, and transferring my skill set and my passions to a different medium that will force me out of my comfort zone slightly

after making a hastily filmed and edited together video to acquaint myself with the new app, i then embarked upon this new venture to see where it may take me...




please be kind, i am well aware that there are mistakes, some were intentional, or else intentionally included in order to chart my learning curve as i attempt something entirely new for me

27th September 2013: Sandwich

my plans to crack the world of online video music reviews has to start somewhere

and so i downloaded a brand new video editing app, and then wondered how i should then aquaint myself with it

since i was so short on time, and i needed to eat, i decided to film myself making a sandwich, and then edit it whilst i ate

and here is the results...

Must still take it easy

The Operation for Prostate Cancer was 2 weeks ago,
moving about is still limited, but life with out the catheter
that came out a few days a go, is less restrictive,
but still tiring.
