HE’S BACK!
OK. I know I said I was going to quit this blog… but instead I have decided (and I realise it has been 6 months) to partially rename this blog and carry on.
There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, I want to blog… and erm…
OK. I admit it - I enjoyed doing this blog. It was an outlet for a lot of thoughts that just drift into the ether these days… and I made a few friends here.
Secondly, I want to talk about the booze, much in the way I spoke about it during the year off - that is, hardly at all. I will say, I went back on it, and found it was hard going. It didn’t take much to give me a huge fucking hangover… and wasting hours on end recovering the next day. I have decided to give the booze a rest for a while again, but It won’t be another year off.
Thirdly, a few other things have come along I would like an outlet for my own thoughts. I have been involved in a “Left Unity” group on “Second Life” which has had successes and failures - and would like to give my own partial view on those, as within the group this is difficult as I am accused of trying to be a leader when I offer my sometimes forthright take on things. If you haven’t become involved in Second Life… my advice is this. If you already have a life, then to be honest don’t bother. It can take a lot of your time - though I would say, those who live in the parts of the world where we have dark afternoons and evenings in the winter - it is an ideal space to visit sunny beaches and Dublin pubs etc and meet some interesting people. Though I must say there are some people who are there not to be interesting, but to fulfil inner desires they may not be able to fulfil in real life (rl) like being a mating dog or something.
I also want to use the space to place my political views on record and my views on education generally and education in Scotland specifically.
Lastly, I hit a wall during my time away from blogging - and this wall actually led me to Second Life. Depression is an awfully dark place. And a difficult place to emerge from. I may use the blog to talk about that.
