Bullet In Your Head

Ok.I have finally…finally…at long last written something here because of an online friend (who shall remain nameless to avoid embarrassment).They keep asking if I’ve updated it…and it’s been a month or more since I said I would…Not very good eh!I gotta say though – what a 2007 already? After returning to school, everyone seemed toContinueContinue reading “Bullet In Your Head”

Underachiever

Generally, being self-absorbed is not a good thing.Getting told that I’m self-absorbed by various important people who ‘know me best’ is not nice.I guess one has to be pretty self-absorbed to have a blog on the internet (but at the end of it all, it depends on one’s intention and purpose…)On the one hand, I’mContinueContinue reading “Underachiever”

Step Down

I keep hearing this word integrity passed about everywhere. I think people don’t know what it means. It’s all in my face right now because I’m not perfect. It’s more of the same I’ve had on my blog: who I’ve let down, what’s happened now, the frustration of it all, taking it personally and allContinueContinue reading “Step Down”

School's Out

It’s been two weeks since school ended…already…I’ve been in a couple of times, and I’ve got planning to do. I’ve managed to clear out all my old material (I filled up a whole recycling box!) The planning will come into its own because I start teaching AS Psychology next term – I’m looking forward toContinueContinue reading “School's Out”

Every Time We Say Goodbye

Well I suppose it had to come to an end…I mean they grow up so fast right?Alright, so my first proper year 13 offically left last Friday…and I’ve kept meaning to write something on my blog about them (they have this blog address – but whether they’ll be bothered to check it…)The picture was takenContinueContinue reading “Every Time We Say Goodbye”

Come Find Yourself

What Goes Around Comes Around Hindsight is wonderful. Looking back over the past forty years at my background and family, it may have been an inevitability that I am contributing to my community. It just didn’t look that way when I turned twenty-five. I consider Goans to be cynical, lacking integrity, gossipy, and unable toContinueContinue reading “Come Find Yourself”

We Who Are Not As Others

Sometimes it’s easy to think that the whole world thinks differently to me.That’s ‘cos I’m an arrogant ass right?Well selfish and rude maybe.But chatting to my sister and my fiancee…well people do have their weird opinions. I mean – my sister says things for effect so much – it’s like she can read minds. IContinueContinue reading “We Who Are Not As Others”

All Apologies

Sometimes the right title for a post in the form of a song title just hits ya.As was the case with this one.I’ve felt, over the past month, like I’ve been stuck between a rock and a hard place.Maybe it’s because of being in a [Landmark] seminar which stirs up where I’m being a selfishContinueContinue reading “All Apologies”

Electric Head – Pt. 1 (The Agony)

Yeah!Saturday night…was a big one!I have been lamenting about the state of heavy metal and decent places to go and all that…so I finally did something about it!Inevitably with my wonderful sister in Goa, and my fiancee not sharing the same taste in music, I was going on my own. I didn’t actually mind, becauseContinueContinue reading “Electric Head – Pt. 1 (The Agony)”

Back To School (Mini Maggit)

Aha…after the shenanigans of the day before half-term (see the pic!) I am sooooo knackered after the first week back…The week before half term was our charity week.In my madness I said to my tutor group (year 8 – so they’re turning 13 years old) that if they raised over £200 for their Sponsored Silence,ContinueContinue reading “Back To School (Mini Maggit)”
