Instant invisibility in public. No one speaks, looks at you, smiles or dares to interrupt.

I used to watch "Friends" and wonder two things. Why does nobody in NYC lock there doors and who practically lives in a coffee shop?



I think I understand the latter a bit more now. Since coming out to the Midwest farmland of America there's not a lot to do. Except drink. And seeing as it wouldn't be appropriate to turn up to work with the kids of America (woah-oh) in a less than sober state coffee is the beverage of choice.



There's two really good coffee shops near to… Continue

I try not to make hasty judgements. Be nice and accommodating to everyone but not be walked on. I tolerate a lot and try to be a good friend to all. Work hard at seeing the positives and treat people in a way I would expect to be treated until they prove undeserving of that level of respect.



Doing this has taught me two things. Firstly, that no good deed goes unpunished. Secondly, my first impression of people is right about 99% of the time.



From my last blog I got a lot… Continue

Sitting in the lobby of a cheap Holiday Inn. I want to leave.



Go back to New England or original England. Either way I don't care.



My instincts are telling me to get out now but in all honesty, they've been telling me this for a while.



In Manchester Airport I had to force myself to check in. More than once I fought back tears as I said goodbye. Those who know me know this is rare.



Arriving in the US airport I felt no excitement. Standing on a moving… Continue

Tomorrow I fly out of Manchester on a thirteen and half hour long journey to the USA. When I arrive my new employers have told me to get the bus to a travel inn that has been booked nearby (that is the limit of the information. Seriously. The name of the hotel and the fact that a bus is the way to get there.)



The following day me and my two compatriots (who I haven't yet met) meet with the boss and get the keys to two cars then drive three hours up two states, get to our two bedroom… Continue

I am drunk. Properly wasted. Trousered. Plastered. Hammered. Wrecked.

Sober enough to remember the things I wish I could forget though.

Typical.

WTF is it?

I've been pretty absent of late. A few reasons for this. None of them very interesting.

I've found the vlogging well to be running dry. I wanted to do the 10 vid challenge but time and unforeseen occurrences conspired against me.

Inspiration needed.

For the following reasons;



1. I'm made to feel my singleness more acutely by the constant stream of couple-related-crap being hurled my way.



2. There's far too many pink things shaped like love hearts around for my liking.



3. Number of PDAs (public displays of affection) sky rockets to almost anti-social levels.



4. If I wasn't single I would feel compelled to buy things like cards, chocolates and love heart shaped crap (pink).



5. Couples… Continue

If you thought this blog was going to be about you, you might be paranoid.

All old vids re-uploaded. Thanks for bearing with me.

I'm going to re-upload my Quest for Purpose vids.

I know some people will have already seen them before so I apologise for throwing old stuff up on the Ark.

However, with the demise of my LV channel all my vlogs were lost forever and the QFP series is one I'd like to continue with.

So apologies upfront : )
