Life on Standby

"I don't think people are meant to be by themselves, that's why, if you actually find someone you care about... it's important to let go of the little things - even if you can't let go all the way. Because nothing sucks more than feeling all alone... no matter how many people are around you"

Stand back - nothing to see hear...

Dogs lives are short, too short...

but you know that going in... You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with them, never fail to share their joy or delight in their innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifetime companion... There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware it comes with an unbearable price... Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and for the mistakes we make because of those illusions...

OOooh, the post I should have made a while back...

It's a strange feeling being told in no uncertain terms that the 'lifespan' you had expected, would not be as long as you thought, and it is almost like the Doctor stood up and punched you straight in the stomach...

It initially triggers certain instinctual, PRIMAL instincts to do certain things... drink, eat, fuck, spend - the list goes on into what can only be classed as debauchery... and then comes the true realisation that it was the pleasurable things that got you into this predicament in the first place.

It would be nice to say that it brings about the revelation that what truly matters are friends and family, but you find yourself pushing away from all outside involvement, believing that you have become a burden, or in extreme circumstances, a shame to them.

The denial stage of the Kübler-Ross model isn't as long as you would expect either... every Google search you have made shows the same result - life with a progressive disease just doesn't last as long, and in the rare case that it does, it's not a happy life... so you then skip the next 3 stages and move on to acceptance.

You accept that you will not get to fly on a Virgin Galactic sub orbital flight, you accept that you will not get to see first contact with another species, you accept that you will not get to see your favourite Hockey team... the Phoenix Coyotes ever raise that DAMNED Stanley Cup and you do what you do best... which is to live your normal, detached life and know that when you are gone, you HAVE left something to remember you by... people just don't know it yet.

house of the rising dumb

Well, finally got my house back to myself. My guitarist / tattoist/ good friend Adam and his fiance Danni stayed over for the last 4 days. Adam is trying to get work in a tattoo shop back here so that he can bring his family back to this town - which, being the selfish whit I am, is really good for me... free tattoos because I am building him a website, and my lead guitarist back again for regular practices...

W00t - Accidental Angels back in the house yo!

well... it works for me...

Been to see my GP today and heard 2 words in 1 sentence that really aren't easy to hear...

'and what are those words?' I hear the infinitesimal zero people that will ever read this...

Liver Biopsy...

There is nobody to blame except myself...

I may just commit murder soon...

Car was damaged again at half past four this morning... my medication had wore off and I woke up in agony when I heard a loud bang from outside. I put my light on to take a look and two young chavs were walking just past my next door neighbours car... I got some clothes on and got downstairs as.soon as I could, which is not easy because of my disabilities... went out and looked at my car and the wing mirror had been kicked off, the same with my neighbours car... the chavs had gone due to the time it took me to get there... so now I have to fork out about £120 for a new mirror because it is an electric one that folds back... not a happy bunny...

Police came but they are about as much use as a part in a wind tunnel...

my oh my...

Well, I've got my first official date in over 2 years for next week... and just for a change, she is my age and not half of it.

I used to go to school with her and we reconnected through Facebook... she was pretty much a rebel at school but seems to have calmed down after she had kids etc... she is a very pretty little redhead called Lisa...

I wonder if I can remember how to behave on a date :s

I've just noticed the day she first suggested, and it was Valentines day - didn't realise this and said that Tuesday was better for me because I always edit my video work on a Monday night...
