Oh my. You wouldn’t believe the last few weeks I’ve had. It’s been the most boring few weeks since I’ve been put on this planet. It seems ages since I last updated this. That’s because it HAS been ages.
It seems strange to think that 7 years ago, I managed to update this everyday, despite all I did was eat and sleep, now I sometimes can’t manage to write a proper post in a month. It’s fair to say that my outlook on blogging has completely changed in the last few months. I’m getting older, and back then, it was a joy to sit down and type my heart out, and say things that were my true thoughts, however, I’ve been “caught” too many times by old comments for me to do anything but skate over issues which are on my mind constantly.
Work, for example. Every night I dream about it in at least some way, most of the time not in a good way All I do these days is work and sleep. Occasionally, when I’m off, I’ll tidy until my fingers bleed, and my chest feels as if it’s about to cave in. It’s all a bit freaky. I’m not the only one it’s been a shit year so far for (uh, is that English?).
Actually, thinking back, wasn’t June the month last year where I attempted to do a blog a day until the end of the month? Oh, let’s do it again, this should be fun. It IS summer after all. Not every entry will be the barrel of laughs you’re used to, but it should be “different” anyway.
Riiight, so where to start with the first entry… ummm, I’ve been at work. I was meant to start at 2PM, but due to sickies and sackies, I found out I was starting at 12pm thanks to a phone call, received by Daddykins. I screamed the house down. I’ve not been sleeping well recently, thanks to work, and the thought of losing two hours sleep really wound me up. Truly wound me up. Teddy thrown across the room, etc. Well, it was a pillow, but you get the idea.
I went in there, with a face like thunder, slightly late, as the stupid fucking bint on the till at [a well known supermarket] realised she’d picked up Conditioner instead of shampoo, and we were all kept waiting while someone else rushed around the shelves, like a retarded contestant on Supermarket Sweep, looking for the same type of shampoo… Sigh.
Loading the three boxes of Carlsberg into the car was my problem too. Literally.
I then sat down and endured 12 hours of the longest day I think I’ve ever faced. It was still only my normal 12 hours, but it just seemed so long. Thankfully, [same supermarket] had an offer on jelly sweets, so a bag of those saw me through the day.
So, what else has been happening? Let’s go back to Wednesday… I discovered episodes of an old American gameshow named “Starcade” which was recorded in the 1980’s, and featured families playing actual arcade games to get points… the star prize? An actual arcade machine of that weeks special game. Of the episodes I’ve watched, I’ve not witnessed anyone actually winning, though I’m sure they did.
Oh, that reminds me, there’s been activity on the video logs, or rather someone trying to be clever.
“tamar832″ had created the account to specifically leave those comments, as it was registered on 29th May, and before the comments were posted, “they” had only watched 3 videos. So, if I’ve driven someone to actually spend their time creating and registering a youtube account, and actually leave those comments, then the irony is just delicious. They’d have spent the same amount of time registering the account, waiting for the confirmation email and posting that comment as it did for me to record and edit that bloody video.
If it IS a genuine comment, I’m quite honestly surprised that it’s taken someone this long to completely fail to see the entire point of the vlogs. They’re meant to be shit. I wouldn’t do them otherwise. Didn’t “they” hear the crap music? The crap graphics? Actually, I quite like the music, but that’s not the point.
So, I have come to two conclusions. Number One is that “Tamar9835whatever” is a complete stranger who didn’t like my videos. He/she doesn’t see the point. He/she will avoid my videos from now on. You don’t know me, therefore you don’t know the p[erson I am. In fact, you will not read this, therefore your opinion is null and void.
The second conclusion is that “tamar”$2242£4″ is actually a reader here, and/or someone who knows me personally, and simply can’t resist seeing how I’d react to a negative comment. Congratulations. 4 paragraphs and 10 minutes worth of typing. We shall joke about this in the future.
Actually, talking about absolute drivel, I ended up at the flea market on Wednesday too. God, what a state it’s getting. It was almost empty, despite the fact it was a nice morning. It’s still a place with infinite amounts of comedy, though. One stall was selling erasers for 10p each. I almost broke down with laughter when I realised the seller was keeping them in a potty. Yes, a bright orange potty, with “stains” all over it. I almost cried laughing. Needless to say, I passed on the offer at cheap rubbers.
Er, anyway. I’m going to end this here, I’m at work today so I’ll have to save some stuff for tomorrow’s update. Sorry if it got a bit depressing at the start, I had to get into the swing of typing so much in such a short space of time, and it was the only thing I can think of. June promises to be a month of trials, tribulations, and so much messed-up shit it’s untrue, though I’ll do my best at keeping those last things at a minimum…
Hooray for blogging!
