hello....is this thing on??


Imagine my surprise after 5 months of none writing and if I'm honest none thinking about writing when I stumbled 'pon my old blogging page. Now I don't suppose anyone is actually reading this page and if I'm honest that doesn't overly bother me anymore. In the past year or so of blogtacular (none) action I was admittedly rather jealous of the attention and praise lavished on other blogs and bloggers to whom I am rather close. My inactivity in general seems to have diminished these feelings somewhat, come to think of it most of my feelings have become diminished about a great many things. I have searched my feelings and there seems to be one that reoccurs quite frequently : anger. Thing is, I'm not actually angry about anything, I'm just rather annoyed. All I seem to do nowadays is sit in my room on the inter noodle. This in itself is probably not helping, purists amongst you might suggest a job, and you'd be right to, I'm penniless at the moment, however after reading my previous blog entries I cannot (repeat for dramatic emphasis) CANNOT go back to working in offices listening to non-speak. By this I mean middle management language, you know of what I speak. If only "they" payed graduates to sit and complain about the job market, cuz if they did, this time next week we'd be millionaires.

General wordys


The road extends bleakly into the distance, I can see nothing but cool hard black tarmac and the unending white lines of the road markings. Or at least i should be able to see them but im reading the paper. The speedometer ticks over to 80 mph but i pay little attention to it. im trying not to see the speed creeping higher and higher but i cant help but sneak a peak over the top of my newspaper. its like a cut in the roof of my mouth, i know i should leave it alone or take some kind of action to help it get better but i cant help but keep poking at it with my tongue. its only going to get worse. i look up from my newpaper and suddenly realise that the gentle country road i was so blindly speeding down is litttered with fallen trees, not branches but giant redwoods. "how did i not see those?" i wonder to myself, painfully aware of the fact that i had probably seen the blockages hours earlier, and had simply chosen to ignore them. the realisation dawns upon my at this point, it was a fact that i had overlooked when i first climbed in to the drivers seat, "you cant drive" my brain tells me, confirming that dread feeling in the pit of my stomach. "this is going to be tricky" i reply as my car roars helplessly towards the first tree...
