I Sense …

A radical change going on

2009 has been a very traumatic year in both a positive and negative way. I am going to be totally honest here, I don’t want 2010 going the same way. I want 2010 to be a year of calm settled life.

I don’t generally do the whole New Year Resolution thing, I never much see the point to it. This outgoing year though, this is going to be different because, this year, I have baggage to sort out.

This is what I have set in my mind for 2010

  • People either go into it with us totally or they become the problem to be removed from the picture
  • At least once, Deej and I are going to go on holiday alone together to see if we can’t remind ourselves what a relationship is like
  • We are going to go on holiday as a family
  • Anyone who lies to us is gone, history, no longer related to in any way at all.
  • We are going to make a bigger effort to see friends and remain in contact
  • No more excuses not for us or anyone else. If someone wants to be the person they ‘just are’ then that’s cool, but not on my watch around my family!
  • I am going to say ‘No’ more often
  • I want zero contact with social workers except those for Zoey or those I happen to work alongside at the Carers Centre.
  • We are going to get Deej officially ‘John Williams’ everywhere
  • Sean is going to get a passport!
  • The benefits situation is going to be sorted totally, no more pissing about with arseholes!
  • I am going to stop being nice to people when I really think they are twats that need to grow up!

I reckon there may be many other things I shall think of but those shall be the ones top of my list.

Generally speaking, I am going to help anyone who wants help and who appreciates it. I am not going to waste my time with those too lazy to make an effort, drunks, druggies and those who have no intention of changing. Everything for those who need it, nothing for those who don’t … I can’t say fairer than that.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
