I actually have a wealth of material for this here thing, just not enough time to publish it. Does wealth imply quality as well as quantity? That might be misleading. I have an abundance…
There is a sign at my local tube station that reads something like:
“Walk carefully on the escalators – last month 34 serious injuries, 1 fatality.”
I don’t know if I should be more cautious of the evidently lethal metal stairs or the apparent hordes of retards surrounding me that are using them.

I have to preface my next point by saying i have never seen the movie Sliding Doors. I am aware of the concept of the movie but frankly i find that blonde bint in it entirely annoying. Never-the-less i have come to think of my journal as a bit like sliding doors. I write a lot of letters, explanations, theories etc, sometimes just ramblings and free association…anything to try to make the noise stop really. But the sliding doors part really has more to do with the letters.

Slight setback in that the two posts from 2007 i found, one has already been posted. Drat. So yeah i had an impromptu visit from an ex Frankfurter last night which fell short of being messy but still prevented me from posting day 3 on day three. So i guess i’ll have to post twice tomorrow.

This is why this challenge is a little bit shit. Now i have to essentially promote some terrible music. How do you pick your least favourite song? I’d be hard pressed to pick my least favourite artist. So this one might just be some things that piss me off. I’m a bit too tired to write something more in depth than that, and the thought of another 28 posts in the next 28 days is making me think i’ve written a cheque i definitely can’t cash.

So here we go, 30 posts in 30 days. What better day to start than the first of June? Makes it easier to keep track of right? And on the 31st day he rested. Unfortunately i don’t quite have the time, nor the inclination at the moment to craft 30 full posts so what you get is going to be a hybrid thingy. I’ve been meaning to do the Wastebook 30day song challenge for a while now but can’t quite bring myself to post that many updates on wastebook.

So my web-bloggy thingy is up for renewal again. I’ve posted something like 7 times since last renewal. That makes it an extortionate amount for someone that writes in notepad and posts when i have the time and inclination. Anyway i’ll propbably end up doing it. I have a plan for 30 days of posts….sounds exciting doesn’t it??? Anyway in the meantime…consider this:
I spend half my time feeling sorry for myself because of the way i see this world..the other half i spend feeling sorry for those who can’t see it this way…

Why can’t self-deprecating humour or observations be just what it says on the box? Why does it always have to be a cry for sympathy or reassurance? If i say my food poisoning was welcomed as i could probably do with losing a bit of weight…it is because i am probably 15 or 20 kilos over weight, not because i want the recipient of my humour to try to tell me I’m not. If i don’t think i’m technical enough to pass a techie interview that would be because i’m entirely self-taught and didn’t cover all the basics but skipped to the parts i actually use. I make independent observations about myself all the time, but when i tell other people about them it makes them uncomfortable and resort to stupid reassuring comments that mean fuck all to anyone with half a brain. Yet if i make these observations about someone else – oh that’s insightful, oh yeah i never thought of it like that, you know you’re right they do that because of that. I can’t be introspective? Maybe not with relationships…i’ll concede to that one but in everyday observations i can’t see why i can’t say the things that i do. It’s not me being depressed or a cry for help…im just pointing out cause and effect…

Have you ever noticed how abstinence is the only thing that is regarded as an achievement that involves simply doing nothing. I did nothing today – You fucking lazy shit! I didn’t drink today – well done!
Have you ever watched old people? I mean not just watching them as they walk at an ever decreasing pace in front of you. I mean i walk slow but i’ve seen retarded, one-legged ants cover a greater distance than some of them. They would probably be able to move faster if they just jumped and let the earth’s rotation move underneath them. But i mean proper watched them from some vantage point? waiting for a train or something like that? Sooner or later they will stop and check what they’re doing…as if they are not 100% sure they should be doing it. Like when they randomly stop everyone around you at the airport to get their bag swabbed and you’re not really sure if you are allowed to walk through or they are going to call in special ops to hunt you down…

Ok so I actually wrote this a few months ago but haven’t gotten around to posting it. Deal with it. So after a few less than comfortable flights i finally lucked out. Seated in 75E which probably doesn’t sound that good…except it’s actually the very last row in a 747, the center part…and there’s no one in 75G, F or D. That’s right folks…this little black duck has 4 seats to himself at the back of the plane. So at the moment i have what is left over of my beef ragout on the table to my left…my laptop on the table in front of me and a glass of red and my ipod on the table to my right…and the 4th table rested.
