Another Boring Day.....

Well, what can I say about today?

Jamie, the brother of my ex, came down last night from Manchester with his new American girlfriend Heather. We had a few drinks and chatted to the wee small hours. I like Jamie, he's a 'nice' guy and a helluva XBox player! Hat's Off To You Sir! And Heather is a really intelligent and 'life rich' sort of person. You know, had the ups and downs that so many of us have to endure in this journey we call life. Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger, so they say.

I’ll be honest, I was expecting the conversation to be mainly about me and Samantha, but thankfully it wasn’t. I don’t mean in any nasty way, it would have been upsetting. After all, 5 years is a long time and it’s difficult to let go, especially when you still love them and probably always will. It’s funny how your world can be turned over by one single event. At least it's only temporary! A friend of mine said "Positive Thoughts!" as though this was some mystic mantra that would alleviate all my woes. It would be fantastic if it worked! But in a sense they are right. You have to stay positive or else you will end up just sitting back and taking all the shit that life throws at you, and what sort of person would you be then? One lesson I’ve learned is to make sure I have a bit of security behind me in future, because I certainly don’t want to be like this again. I know this is a bit personal, but it's a good venting tool this Blog malarkey!

I can honestly say that I have just had my first truly intelligent conversation with an American. Discussion ranged from the US voting system to the Good/Bad points of living in the UK.

One interesting conversation led to the statement by Heather that the history of conflict is always written by the winner, 9 times out of ten, so it is in actual fact His Story. (The true history reveals itself when the tale is told from the losers perspective.) Anyway, it stuck with me but I suppose you had to be there.

Had the wonderful, soul lifting experience of signing on again today. Fantastic! It always makes me feel so joyous to hear my name shouted out when it's my turn to sign on the dotted line. It's demoralising enough. For most, anyway, but being hollered at doesn't exactly inspire enthusiasm.

Anyway, enough ranting. Time to complete Legend difficulty on MotoGP 06.......until next time.
