Something, instead of Nothing........... :o)

Not much going on right now……. Hasn’t been for a while.

Just thought I’d say Something rather than Nothing, but I guess there’s not a lot of difference between the two which means I might as well not bother, but I am, so that’s Something I guess.

So here’s to Something.

Wrote to my buddy mad Eddie in the States today……… well, last night too actually. Today was in response to him answering right away. He’s been on a downer lately and the once long,-deep-and-regular emails have dropped off for a while now. Mainly my fault I guess; plodding and struggling through life’s thick mud as I’ve been doing for a while now kinda leads me to ‘not bothering’ with a load of things I really should be bothering with.

‘Not bothering’ is kinda misleading though……… it smacks of those things ‘not bothered’ with being unimportant to me. Couldn’t be further from the truth really. Depression kills your life. Kills everything within shouting distance of it too. Kills friendships. Kills passions. Kills your job. Even kills your doctor’s patience too, if you refuse the mind-and-dick-debilitating medication which fails to cheer-up seventy percent of those who swallow it.

Kills the fucking lot really.

Mine’s from my job, and it’s not bad enough to have me curled up in a ball, but it’s bad enough that I can’t be bothered, unless I have to on someone else’s behalf. Work mostly. Which keeps me topped up nicely, thanks.

It’s the bullshit that's increasing in a way that would’ve been unimaginable a few years ago. Actually, it’s still bleddy unimaginable. These son’bitch weenies, all sat in their cosy offices are pissing on us all down here. As if we didn’t have enough of it to clear up as it is. I am often overwhelmed with their ingenuity, and ability to treat the ridiculous as entirely reasonable and practicable.

Anyway……… enough. I’m on a day off, and if I don’t watch it I’ll spend it walking around here having a bleddy good row with the buggers.

So, there’s Something, instead of Nothing.

Now, I’m off to do Nothing.

Y’all have a good day doing Something.

Or Nothing.

Either way, don't feel bad doing it, ok? :o)

Kxxx :o)

Sadly neglected.............

It’s the only way to describe my poor old blog.

Sorry Blog, but I’ve been distracted of late, and would make with a stinging nettles and the flogging, but there is a dearth of them, being in the midst of winter such as we are. Be assured, though, that I will rectify the matter with the oncoming of Spring, and meanwhile will make every attempt to write to you far more often.

Trouble is……. writing long emails as lately has taken some steam from the boiler.

I was hoping the muse would kick min if Io started some mindless rambling, but so far not much is going on………. Half watching a film doesn’t help a whole lot I guess. It’s “Becoming Jane”……… about Jane Austen before she was a successful writer……. I turned over to it at random from a crappy cooking contest program…….. one of the plethora that cascades from the telly these days by way of national entertainment.

Anyway……. it’s a good film, and it sure highlights the lot of women back in those days. Having an opinion about anything was considered such a wrong. Even to an Old Chauvinist Greaser like me it defies belief. I’m frequently in despair of what this country is turning into, but when you really think of the reality that we’ve left behind from the ‘good old days’, well, there was a lot wrong, for sure-certain. You either had, or you had not……… boy do we ever have it easy these days.

What is a real pity is why the things that were good had to be sacrificed and squandered so completely to make way for the things that were so wrong to be put right…….. if you see what I mean.

Why is that?

Maybe it’s the momentum of a ‘pendulum’ in all things, in that it has to swing to and fro and only settles on the middle when the energy to push it ceases to be.

The nature of a pendulum being what it is, though……….. sitting in a rested middle means it ceases to be a pendulum, and just becomes a useless weight.

I guess it just has to swing, at whatever price.

Nite,K.x :o)

Welcome to the ramblings of an Old Greaser :o)

Hi there,
welcome to my ramblings, those of an Old Greaser who's been around the block a few times too many.

Some ramblings will be of no interest whatsoever, and some will wander all over the joint, often ending up way clear of where they were heading in the first place.

Some will be bad, and some will be good. Some will have only got on here because of the lethal immediacy of the Internet, and all will prolly get tweaked, altered, modified and deleted or added to after I revisit them and have second thoughts.

So, check stuff recently written, and don't be surprised to find it changed, because i am all too vulnerable to the immediacy of how I'm feeling at any given time, and the technology means there's no delay to posting thoughts, :o)

Having said all that, I generally don't edit what I write all that much, and so you do tend to get the raw thoughts, especially as I have a direct brain-to-keyboard link, with the censure permanently off for a spin somewhere or other. Although I generally leave things as they are, sometimes I might change things because I realise perhaps I have been less than wise in how I've said something. :o)

This is started from the position of Not Having a Life, not in the way most people have lives anyway, but more in common with a medieval hermit, only with lots of toys and 'stuff' to play with............ IF I can be bothered, that is.

If you have an open mind, you might like what I reveal here, not that it is likely to be particularly earth shattering, but it is likely to sometimes be outside of what a lot of people think, or rather would like to openly express and admit to thinking. It's certainly going to be very un-PC, and Anti-Bullshit........... two things that never fail to flash me up and light the fuse. :o)

It will sometimes be full of humour, unless I’ve really got steam up about something or other, but even then the humour will often creep in. Bear in mind that I often have my tongue in my cheek, and what I say is more likely meant to amuse that to offend, so hitch up to that, and laugh rather than get pissed at me. :o)

Although, if you're a manager or in a position of responsibility for others at any level whatsoever, who is in truth actually a workshy, bullying, egotistical psychopathic bastard or bitch then, yes, every perceived insult is indeed intended for you. Weenies, and bullshitters are included. I hate you with a passion.

Genuinely good managers and people in authority are, however, worth their weight in gold and to be cherished and saluted, but, personally, I have found to be few and far between.

However, on a lighter note, sometimes I think I’m being soooooo damn funny, and I forget that I’m writing for people who don’t know me, and won’t always get it. To that end I'll often put in an emoticon..... :o).......... :oI .........:o( ……….etc to try to make sure things aren't taken the wrong way. :o)

If it comes across badly, have another read of it, …………and if it still seems badly, well, that's just tough shit! :o))))

If you really think I’ve stepped over a line, let me know, and if I agree, I’ll tweak it and put it right.

Anyway, like I said,........... Welcome. :o)
