Ok you’re going to start wondering why the picture on the left is on here, but bear with us and it shall become clear.

Now it’s been fun wandering back to 2008 the past few days, but the hell is going on right now, and why return back to doing the review of last year when most sites are remarking on more important topics like why pickle jars are damned hard to open.

I suppose it’s a bizzare thing of both dragging my feet around, and also finishing off something I had started earlier in the year.

I have been most silent on the whole thing of writing about the present to tell the truth as I suppose I’m still getting my mojo back into action with the whole blogging thing, struggling to string together wonderfully silly phrases together in a vain effort not to make anyone fall lapse into a coma, which meant that looking back on old material gives you a place to start.

I suppose that when you’ve been away from it in such a long time, and haven’t really done lots of things of worth in the eyes of many of your pears, you start grasping at the various straws you have at your disposal such as remarking on the weather, or commenting on the news, or simply stating about a relative’s bowl movement.

Weird really…

For instance, I find myself at the keyboard right now, having paused for thought on what profound and liable case inspiring trivia I could come up with about things going on at this point in time and all I want to do is kill something in Call of Duty, while having a nice cup of tea.

Seems sad, but when the opportunity for freedom arrives as it appears to have done, there is a massive overwhelming feeling of “What do I do now?” The freedom of choice is something not to be taken lightly until the day arrives when no-one else is about, and how ever you decide to spend your time is your business.

Problem is normally for people the first thing you do is eat all the Jelly and fire off some knuckle children in a vain attempt to recreate Spiderman’s web slinging ability.

(Why else does he wake up in some wet sticky stuff…cue drum roll) but anyway, it seems that there has to be some form of motivation in performing such a task, and while trying to come up with something which some people on the internet would actually like to read from the perspective of the Lord of Leisure, damn dood, that’s harder than a peu…(WHOA, back it up!)

This week is mainly going to be devoted to wrapping things up ready for when I’m away in Spain for the first time in years, and it’s more of a working holiday to be fair, but I know for a fact, I will be in a Spanish bar at some point, hitting anyone who looks like a donkey thing.

I guess this is still very much a period of adjustment, and I’m seriously considering doing some of the things I used to do off and on again, possibly writing for the other sites I’ve contributed in the past to, and some more audio work, who knows.

If anyone has some ideas, by all means, drop me a line.

In the meantime, go to Iraq on Holiday, cry about the economy again, and eat some more jelly. Thus ends only the second post in as many days written about something happening in the here and now.
