High-Fiving Strangers

Last week I may have been having a rather odd week. I kept doing silly things. The most random thing was out shopping. I had just finished paying for my lunch and the guy who served men raised his hand in the air to call the next person. Unfortunately, instinctively I jumped up and high-fived him. He at first looked very shocked. Then he started to laugh and everyone around me started to laugh too. I quickly apologised and hastily made my exit. I was mortified!

DAY 5

A Picture Of Your Morning

This is my general morning. Very early, with not many people around…

Quote Of The Week

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
-Winston Churchill

Little Boy, You’re Going To Hell!

I’m not in anyway religious. Neither do I have a problem with any religion. I respect most of them because they help give people faith and hope.

However, I am currently working with too completer nut jobs. Both “Christian”. One keeps telling me she has a relationship with God and that everything I do is sinful. Drinking, staying out late, having a boyfriend and just basically anything fun. Instead of working she trawls the internet for bible passages. She also attends these phony rallies, where you pay ridiculous amounts of money to hear about how you are going to heaven.

The second one keeps talking about how he has written a song that will change the world. He’s going to put it on YouTube and he will be famous. Apparently this song of his is made up from bible passages and will be a song that everyone will want to sing when they hear it. He also plays the guitar and sings in his local church. When he sings he has a connection with God.

I wouldn’t mind, but they are constantly shoving it down my throat and it’s driving me nuts. So, in my spare time I’ve been looking up Zen stories and have started to try to convert them to Buddhism. Hopefully I’ll annoy them as much as they annoy me!!

 

 

 

DAY 4

A Picture Of Where You Went Today

I might have accidentally taken my boyfriend to a cruising club last night. I read about it in a magazine, but clearly didn’t read the article that properly. There little telltale signs as we entered, but I didn’t fully realise until I got the bar and noticed porn on the t.v. and curtain entrance to a dark room. It was a little creepy and full of older men. We stayed for a few drinks and promptly left!!

Happy New Year!

Hallo, I am Mike.

You might remember me from such posts as Thorn In My Side, The Real Bible and My Drama Notes.

So another year has passed and my commitment to this blog has been poor. However, I have decided to make my New Years resolution, to write more. Last year I did hardly any writing at all. Shameful, I know, but with illness, death and job hunting in the equation, I guess things just got on top of me…

So here I am renewing my commitment.

So to carry on from where I left off:

DAY 3

A Picture Of What You Did Today

Making the Bed!!

That is me trying to make my bed. I guess I need a little more practice…

Update: About me section has been updated!!

Is This Thing On?

This post is really a test to see how the WordPress app works on my iPhone. Because I’ve been so busy recently, I’ve been using my iPhone a lot on my 1 hour journey to and from work to get things done.

So I’m going to try and update this more often from my iPhone. Hopefully this works!!

Thorn In My Side

Thumbs Up

Sexy Stockings

It started last Thursday. A rather curious pain in my right side. It progressively got worse and while at work Friday afternoon, I was ordered down to A&E as the pain was getting unbearable.

I was quickly rushed through A&E (and not because I work there) and I was prepped for emergency surgery to have my appendix removed. I panicked quite a lot and quickly rang my mum, my boyfriend and my boss. By the time I was all sorted out it was quite late and so they decided on surgery in the morning, Saturday morning.

I had my appendix out and there were no complications. I did however have a major reaction to the painkiller Tramadol, which made me vomit, raised my blood pressure and gave me an abnormal pulse.

Now, I’m back home. Driving myself nuts by do nothing. All I seem to be doing is waking up, eating, walking around a bit and then sleeping again.

With any luck I’ll be having my stitches out on Monday and back to work on Tuesday. We’ll see what the doctor says…

One Month On… Let’s try that again…

I’m sorry. I was unfortunately insanely busy. I shall try better in the future.

The only reason I am really getting to write this, is because I am too hungover to go out and see my friends. I went to London Pride yesterday which was amazing. I started drinking at midday and it spiraled from there on in. I remember most of the night, but I am not sure how I ended up waking up hugging a McDonalds. I watched the parade on Reagent Street. Then afterwards we bought some cans of beer and wondered around Old Compton Street. Then we went to Pizza Hut in the Strand where we had a bottle of wine. Then we went to The Yard. Then to B@1, then onto somewhere else. Then to the academy and that’s all I remember…

I can’t wait for Brighton Pride!

DAY 2

A Picture of What You Wore Today

I’ve cheated with this one. This isn’t what I wore today. I don’t like anyone would want a picture of what I wore today. Instead this is what I wore the Saturday before last for a fancy dress party…

Catch ya later!

One Month On…

It’s been almost exactly one month since my last post on this blog. I also realise I wrote that I might try to write everyday. As you can tell this was not very fruitful.

However, I have been writing a quote/fact of the day on the board at work. And I think I might share them hear and add crazy stories, etc. We’ll see how this goes…

Also, I’ll do this picture thing. It’s meant for dailybooth, but I’ll do it here instead.

DAY 1

A Picture of Myself

This is one of my favourite pictures of myself, taken by my good friend Sophie. It looks like it came out of the 70′s, but I assure you I am not that old!

P.s. Any suggestions for quotes and relevant facts of the day for my work would be appreciated.

Bye for now!!

Jumping Dog Poop + Poem: Sticky Heat – Can’t Sleep

Quite a few people have been asking the same question recently. They keep asking why I haven’t posted a blog or vlog in awhile. To be honest I can’t really answer this. I’ve been busy? Well, I have, but this is a really poor excuse…

The truth is, I’m pretty boring these days. As I tried to explain this to some people they disagreed mentioning all the crazy little things that happen to me. Most recently is the curious incident of the jumping dog poop. It was late night and I was walking home, down my street. I noticed a lump of dog poo in the middle of the pavement and decided (like any normal human being) to step over it. As I went to step over the poo, it jumped at me and scared me half to death. Turned out to be a bloody frog.

I think I might try and update this every day to see if I can manage to post anything interesting. You’ll soon be asking me to stop again

Also, I wrote a poem. I was half asleep and very agitated which is very evident from the state of the poem. I haven’t edited nor do I intend to, unless anyone can find anything worth savouring..

Sticky Heat – Can’t Sleep

My body contorts
to fit
like pieces of a jigsaw;
still in this bed.

Open window
breathes my only relief
of cold air
on a cold night,
so bright.

Limbs ache
for the rest they deserve;
hoping in vain,
I see no end in sight.

Sticky heat
you are not welcome.
Too hot to sleep
like the sun in Spain.

My Trouble With Libya

I know of lot people will not agree with what I going to write hear, but it’s my honest opinion. I understand that Gaddafi is an ruthless dictator that will kill anyone he damn pleases. However, I do not agree with the International “support” that most of the Western World has taken upon itself. Libya, for the most part, is in a civil war and there are current ongoing civil wars around the world. Why don’t they intervene in these civil wars?

Some people say it’s for democracy, some say oil, some say it’s because the war is practically on the doorstep of Europe. I don’t really care for the reasons, but I do believe any sort of intervention should come from Middle Eastern countries. The Western World is constantly expected to intervene around the world. I don’t think Britain, in any case, should be intervening. This country is drowning in debt and facing huge cuts in all public sectors. Yet it’s expected to shell out millions on a war many miles from our homeland…

Back To Basics

I’ve decided to u-turn back to WordPress after a brief spell with Tumblr. I just feel Tumblr is cold and quite distant from the people I would like it to reach. I will however be keeping my Tumblr account to post funny pictures, videos, stories and the like. My WordPress account will be used more to ‘express myself’ (if you can call it that).

“Tough times never last, but tough people do.” – Dr. Robert Schuller

I came across this quote on Twitter and I think it sums up how I am feeling at this point in time. Unfortunately, this year seems to have seen a lot of my friends and family in hospital. This also led to me cancelling a trip to Ireland and a seperate to Cambridge. It doesn’t help that work has got a lot busier with the fact we have seen two people leave this year already. We have got two replacements, but training them is a always quite a slow and dedicated process. I feel like I’ve barely had time for myself, let alone my friends around me.

Believe me, I’m fine. I manage to remain particularly calm during times like these. I guess it’s just my relaxed manner. I also guess I’m using this post to explain to my friends why I haven’t had time for them. Maybe I just needed to write these feelings down to rid myself of them. I do feel a lot better for writing this. For those of you concerned, I will keep this you (through this blog) updated, to the rest thanks for reading, I guess.
