In the beginning...
Having spent 5 years telling myself the only way I'm ever going to learn the stuff I'd like to learn about webstuff (sites, design, blah blah blah) is to get on and do it I appear to have accidentally got my round tuit and done so. So it takes 5 years to overcome the bitter disappointment that Dreamweaver wasn't some fantastic new skill but just another package that could be learned - that disappointment was so great I failed to learn it. Hmmm not a lot of logic there really, but then logic hasn't ever been a strong point of mine. Writing stuff in the form of a glorified diary however is pretty much how I communicate (email, messages to myself etc) so I will continue to do so, hopefully learning something along the way. Put them crazy thoughts down on paper so you can move onto the next one and stop it spinning around and around in your head and are there an awful lot of thoughts in there right now, just waiting...
1. How much do I resent having to do postal voting? I like the ritual of going out the back door hopping over the wall into the school yard, walking round to the hall, going in putting my cross in the box and scarpering before someone with a clip board forces me to look straight through them so they won't ask who I voted for. But that is not to be this year. So at some point this weekend I need to find out exactly what everyone is standing for and why. Labour have told me 5 times already how to vote for them but have not really told me what I'd be voting for locally (although Unison have kindly pointed out their virtues in Europe) Lib dems - well they have all the totty candidates in the region. Conservatives - they have sent their contribution which amounts to vote for us we aren't the other people I believe. BNP are fielding candidates, the only person I know who might consider them is Islamic but doesn't want to marry a bloody foreigner. Them Kip people are out in pink, highly constructive stance I see. No one seems to care about the local campaign...
2. Lust love and the future of romance has slithered into life recently, what a joy to be in a relationship in the happy beginning where when in the gym you are contemplating looking forward to what you will do together rather than burning the frustration at not addressing the issues you really aught to get around to addressing.
3. The frustration of weight loss. Yes I know I've really been trying hard to drop those 10kg but since the argument for not putting on weight back in the dawn of time was "eat and drink less, exercise more or buy bigger clothes". Buying clothes is a waste of valuable beer money leaving only the option of exercise then it all falls apart when more recently having given in, bought bigger clothes, despaired at the size above the size above, then eating less and exercising more works none of the clothes fit any more... Wasting beer money appears to happen regardless. Doh.
4. Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Ethiopia, why did I get a social conscience and started caring? Get these news aware thoughts out of my head and return to the old days of playing cards at dinner time. Doh but I started reading the news because I have got a brain it just wanted using again.
5. The difficulties of becoming a property mogul. But I'll have the rant about the evils of Solicitors another day.
