The end of an era
OK so this bank holiday weekend saw my 5th Leeds festival come and go and i can honestly say that now i am feeling old.
Something just doesn’t seem right at all, i looked around and honestly just didn’t get it anymore… it wasn’t fun, the music wasn’t entertaining, the other people there didn’t seem to understand the festival ethos. There was a time when half the fun was meeting the random people camped near you, but this year i wouldn’t of talked to them if my life depended on it, chavs and wankers the lot of them.
I can quite honestly say that if it hadn’t been for the company i was camping with it would of been a complete washout. Mad props to Becky for putting up with my busted up foot and for always looking on the bright side :o)
Indeed that same sentiment goes to everyone i hold dear to me, thanks must go to my parents and Ally for coming down to Leeds to fetch me when my foot was too bad to walk on. If it hadn’t been for their help there was no way in hell i would of managed to hobble back to Leeds train station LoL!!!!
I think I can well and truly say my Leeds festival days are over now, it is a shame to see something that has given me so much joy in past years, ruined and left to die so badly… if it was a pet i would have it put out of its misery…
Friend For Sale
Free to a good home, one moderately educated, slightly faded and worn Dave.
An excellent bargain for anybody who needs a disposable friend for a couple of days and then wants rid.
Comes with own transportation and good working knowledge of computers in case you need your computer fixing or anything else IT related for that matter. Unfortunately this Dave has a few nasty surface blemishes (scuffs/scratches) around the face but nothing that cant be overlooked or hidden with a brown paper bag.
Has a slightly short fuse when pushed, but normally will just keep coming back and taking punishment. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but loyal until the end.
Anybody in need of a disposable friend, gullable and fun for the time you need them should look no further.
Serious offers only, check out my feedback, bid in confidence, and please check out my other auctions.
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen and Peace out to you all
Lost for words
I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in the cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralyzed
I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night
To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there’ll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While ivy grows over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can’t win
A quiet moment for reflection
Ahhh well here we are once again, i fear it may have been far too long since i last posted something on here. Yet as i sit alone in my room, basking in the cool neon from my laptop screen i cant help but feel a somber peace I havent felt in a long time.
A famous author once wrote: “Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about” and i am definately one to agree on this outlook, but I guess sometimes we all have to face reality and realise that we indeed cant “play the fool” forever.
There was a time when i thought everything in my life was perfect, i thought i would never want or need another thing. The world was my oyster and i could picture myself 25 years from that point and nothing would have changed. I guess i was young and naive. Ok so maybe naive is a bit harsh, we’ve all been there i’m sure, but if i knew back then what i knew now…. i’d like to think i would of done things differently.
The things i have seen, the places i have been, the music i have heard and the people i have met… they have all made a lasting impression on me, some good, some bad. But that is not to say that change is a bad thing. Had i sat back and never changed my direction I would never have made some of the best friends of my life, i would never of met or got engaged to the lovely Ally, and i most certainly wouldnt of had the opportunity to get to where i am career-wise.
And now i hear good news on the horizon for the people i have left behind, i am never one to bare a grudge, i wish everybody in my past the very best in life. Those that i still keep in touch with I am always there for, and those that choose they are better of without me in their life I wish them every joy that this life has to offer.
Perhaps my inability to let go of the past is what is causing me now to feel like i am loosing control of my future. I guess this blog can be see as me putting to rest childish thoughts of yester-year, closing the chapter and finally looking forward to the future and what may come around the corner.
I have a photographic memory, and will always remember the good times and the bad vividly, but from here i’m going to move forward and never look back.
GAME OVER! Please insert credit to continue ;o)
Infinite monkey theorem
Ok so here is my re-take on the famous Infinite monkey theorem:
“If you gave a million monkeys, a million computers, a million copies of ColdFusion, and an infinate amount of time they would probably design the greatest website of all time.”
Just the way I’m feeling
Wow, i didn’t realise it had been such a long time since my last blog, truly this must be some kind of reflection upon how uneventful my life is.
I am a firm believer of the old saying “Nice guys finish last”, and the longer i roll around in this little life of mine, the more i see that further cements my belief. Maybe its just sour grapes, but sometimes i wish i knew what i could do to get a little slice of the proverbial pie.
So what has happened to make me feel this way you ask? I’m not really sure to be honest. I see other people getting the things they want, and i think to myself ‘They don’t really deserve that” or i hear of people going places I never get the opportunity to go and think “What do they have that i don’t”
I guess i will just keep plodding along as i am, waiting for my chance to shine…. when do i get my chance?
R.I.P Poppet
A grim post today, a very black day indeed in the Storey household.
Our cat Poppet had to be put to sleep yesterday. Unfortunately her little body must of gone through some tough times, and just not been able to keep going anymore. She suffered a heart failure, or mild heart attack, at some point in her life and never managed to recover. Our only consolation is that she is no longer in any pain and will no longer be constrained to the limited mobility she suffered from toward the end.
I will miss her soft meow and her cheerful face, i will miss the way she used to always find a sunny place to sit no matter where she was in the house. I will miss the way you used to always have a paw ready to bop an impertinent young whipper snapper who got on the wrong side of you.
Poor Poppet, you will never have to sing for your supper any more.
We shall meet again one day dear friend, one day….
Love always pretty pet x x x
Anniversaries & Bandwith
Good morning peeps, my god its far too early and far too cold to be awake. Well now, what a very eventful weekend I have had…. i don’t know where to begin.
So officially it was myself and Ally’s 1 year anniversary, officially now my longest running relationship. Ally got one of my favourite ever DVD’s too….. ‘The Jungle Book’!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!
So how we ask did you celebrate? We went to The Bridge Inn at Stapleton and made absolute pigs of ourselves LMAO!!!!! If one lesson was learned this weekend, it is that Desperate Dan Cow Pie is definately a big meal. I think both myself and Ally proverbially ‘bit off more than we could chew’ last night. It was an evening of induglence with chocolate brownie, stuffed mushrooms, dumplings and strawberries :o)
On a slightly different note I am currently ‘negotiating’ with virgin media regarding my broadband. I am paying for 20meg and recieving 1meg…. As you can possibly guess…. this does not make dave happy at all. Grrrrrrr.
The Blogger has landed!
Well here we go, i officially now have a blog… isn’t it nice? I know its a little bit empty at the moment but i promise to resolve this soon with much merry banter, stories and lessons supplied by my life.
I would like to take this opportunity to say hi to everyone and wish you all good health and thank you for visiting my site, let us guide each other through this vast internet with smiles on our faces :o)
