was asked today during a class whether i/we kept a blog. I didn't put my hand up (due probably to laziness). somebody who did put their hand up was asked what they "blogged" about - i can't remember their reply(again, due to laziness) - but it started me thinking about what i blog about - and if you have read through any of the posts in a chronological order (unlike me, again, laziness) you will find that i haven't kept any sort of thread, apart from myself, running through the posts.
perhaps there was at the start when i was using the site as a kind of catharsis for quitting smoking, but since i quit smoking how ever many moons ago, that use has been extinguished - pardon the pun.
And there was the thought of using it as a place to show my output - that i think is still the most viable option.
Or I could just use it to rant and rave against everything that is advertising and marketing - while at the same time trying to get a job in said industry - the reverse psychology shtick...
Or damn, a mix on the two - a Mcdonalds arches in famine stricken africa - that fucking purple dinosaur witnessing the assassination of bobby kennedy....
Ideas welcome...

So then, what is depressing me today? The weather? The state of the nation? That brings me to the fact that i will never see new order live... damn, another opportunity missed.
And what is there to be happy about? The weather? well, on that score i saw, or to be more precise, had pointed out to me, the first sprouts of spring in the form of crocuses at my daughters' school - it gave me pause for thought that time lingers on and we are the passengers - ahhh, but i did get to see iggy pop, a couple of time even and definitely before he started gardening and car insurance adverts - "oh iggy, why you? If you are broke we could have had a whip round, we would have found a way, a budget plan and a sympathetic bank - but why oh why oh why did you have to do an advert - and with a FUCKING PUPPET. Its bad enough doing an ad, but with a puppet? And a puppet of yourself? Hold on, wait, is this about irony? Self parody? Perhaps iggy took the money from the ad men and spent it propping up the junk habit of emo kids in detroit or somewhere - did you, iggy? please let it be so!!! no, you took the money and bought a new sit on lawn mower...ok, just pass me the razor, this post-modern nightmare has just gotten the better of me.... yeah, the weather... cold, sleeeeeeeeep... iggy..........
