Not To Everyone's Taste

I had steak last night. I’ve been eating meat for a while, and the thing is - I like it.

There’s this movie you may know called Alive. It covers the true survivor story of a remote mountain plane crash. The monster in the story is that those who lived, in the end, ate those who died.

Know what? I doubt I’d do any different frankly. But hey, I don’t suffer fools or hunger gladly. So yes of course that leaves me fat and lonely. Ahaha.

A Living Work

I started my first job when I was 12 years old. On Saturday mornings, starting at 7am, I worked in a bakery for my uncle. Yes he was my uncle, but I hardly knew the man.

Assume the Position

Let me tell you a story. When I was 10 years old my mum got a job. This was the first time we had a second income, so we moved to a new area, and a new school. It wasn’t such big shakes though. Believe me, I went from poor to slightly less poor. Anyway, there was this girl there, and I want to tell you her real name, but I shouldn’t, so let’s call her Lettie.

Uncomfortable Life

A few things have come to my attention recently. Lots of things in fact, but in the interests of interest I'll just be very picky about what I cover. Mostly because I don't want to challenge my attention span.

For instance, I won't talk about the cat scratching at the cat food cupboard door so much that the door is now so deeply claw-marked that you could fit a ten pence piece in to some of the cracks because I hate cats and wood scratches. So I won't be going there. I won't even talk about the England win against Uruguay in the International football friendly tonight. I won't, because who loves a gloat? Noone, that's who. No One. But we won. So?
