  I guess what I am meaning with this quote is that my brain tends to need to be exhausted before I sleep. Often times I go to bed at around 02:30 and fall straight to sleep, no thought process at all, just gone. My mind rarely settles until it stops functioning [caption id="attachment_2239" align="alignright" width="1004"] This, to me, applies to friends. I have found that a strong friendship can build and then, in a flash there is zero interest in me. I never know if it was me or if it was them but, I invested my valuable time with people and it wasn't worth my investment.[/caption] This is one of the truest quotes I found today Sadly I do feel this is very true. I acknowledge that I might just not have enough memory of the man but the memory I have is of someone who couldn't take the time, was only interested in sporting success and anything less wasn't acceptable and, I am and always was, so much less than acceptable to him.     This is so...

I am using GTA here as an example but this problem has been around for a while now with people forgetting that those they interact with online are actually real people. It's a little like picking your nose at the wheel of the car and really believing no one can see you/ Sticking with the road rage analogy, it's like road rage, inexplicably attacking a total stranger that almost certainly did something totally legal because it makes you feel silly.

Their only purpose in life seemed to be to insult and provoke argument. With the onset of the online game such as GTA we have gi...

How awful is it that a person can corrupt a month in the way that the current leader of the Conservative Party has? Anyway, moving on. I applied for a job, I got shortlisted, went for an interview and the bottom line is, I didn't get it. I didn't explain myself well enough. I fell short as I was aware that I waffle and might have been in danger of explaining myself too much. The answers I gave were all good answers it seems but because they couldn't fathom how I got to them, I did not finish as seems to be a common occurrence these days ... take that as you will. To be honest, I don't want to talk about it, it's one job, it's in the past and where it should be. Dwelling on it will prevent me being focused on what I still need to do. What that is I am not entirely sure right now. I was confident of the one I went for because I knew about it and I do know I would have been really good at it so, my interview skills failed me not my ability to do a job. Had it been ...
