BamBam it's me!

I'm 50 something and just as confused as I was at 20 something, only now I'm used to the feeling of permanent doubt that I'm doing it wrong.

Where did that post go?

It was deep and meaningful and it vanished into the blue nowhere

Religion and shit

It occurred to me last night that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with religion. Most advocate getting on with it in a way that is peaceful and respectful of others. The problem only arises when some cynic realises that there's money to be made or when the smart ass decides that the next man isn't quite doing it how he thinks it should be done. Oh if only it were that simple. And another pisser is the EU question. Why the hell are we bickering over a European union; what is the problem with having a World Union? Oh yeah, cos people are stupid. Surely we can't have reached the pinnacle of evolution when we still breed morons. I think i dislike humanity, im going to knit myself an orange onesie and become a goldfish.

Tuesday musings

It's been a while and while i dont really have anything to say, i just felt like writing. Any worries after the weekend were dispelled and tonight I'm calm and chilled. I haven't eaten processed crud and I've only had one cup of coffee. Sleep will be easy, and tomorrow may bring with it a little sunshine. I wish at twenty i could have been this contented, but perhaps contentment comes with age and experience; how could it be remotely possible to be content without having had the pleasure of having two beautiful children to nurture. When the word I'm looking for, the absolute 'hit the nail on the head' word, refuses to come out from its hiding place in the shadowy mind-murk, it makes me so angry. Especially when the word was 'privilege', not even a difficult one. I hate that part of age and experience. Maybe i need a mind purge to get rid of all the crap that's in there.

People think about machine take over. Meanwhile my c++ compiler stops making of an entire program because I forgot a semicolon

[bambam1964-blog]

Nothing to add, does my crust. Except it's not c++ it's sql and asp, but it still does the same...nack all

Procrastination

If i have spent the whole of the Bank Holiday weekend doing things that weren't actually on my list of things to do (cleaning the fridge became more important than actually going out to get things to put in it) does that make me the worlds best or worst procrastinator? I can't work out the logic. I'll put the kettle on while i think about that one...

So, vodafone, because your signal is so amazingly crap where i live - like non-existent - today i am getting a new phone with EE, whose signal isn't shit. And this weekend out of all weekends i could really have done with a good phone so i could communicate with my intrepid paddler man and my wayward children. So, as soon as my head is clear, i am on my way.

Nearly friday

And i get another day in the crib to get off my butt and slap paint about and clean and plot and scheme. In my head its looking pretty damn good. It's still quiet, except for a couple of renditions of the piece of music that is rekindling my interest in playing.... and a snoring canine. Its just another chapter, that's all. The characters are still the same but make guest appearances instead of being the stars of my show. And tomorrow IS Friday...
