About time for a new one of these eh? Well, apologies for not being around. Work is busy as usual, and I've been running off on trips too, which puts a smile on my face for reasons of mind your own business!
It's not summer here. It just bloody isn't. The sun sort of half arsed came out today. Twas raining and grey when I got off a plane yesterday. June my arse. I really hope it's not going to be like this all summer. I'm hoping to get away a few times to warmer climbs over the summer. Work is pretty much dead for the whole of august and July is never busy either. I reckon I've got till mid july to work as much as possible, and then a good six weeks of doing little or nothing. Sounds good doesn't it? Catch is, if I'm not doing business I'm not earning anything either.
I'm actually a happy boy at the moment. I mean, I'm rarely really unhappy, I muddle along somehow whatever is going on, but at the moment I'm in a positively good mood. There is a tangible reason for this, but I'm going to be all elusive and secretive about it. Don't want to jinx things.
My best mate is back from a nearly 2 month trip to the states, which is good. He's the only person I really confide in regarding my personal life, feelings and all that. It's a bit odd going for so long without that sort of conversation, and it's even more odd noticing the fact. I don't usually.
I've spent far too much money lately. Time to tighten the belt a bit. I need to be working hard too atm. I've bought loads of documentary DVDs from Amazon. Why don't they make proper documentaries anymore? Why does everything have to be of narrative structure and have 40% contentless dramatisations of things that have already been explained? I reckon modern documentaries have less than half the content of the ones I grew up with, and present a far more simple (read dumb) interpretation of the facts. I find it very annoying. The world is getting more stupid because people aren't being expected to think. If you don't expect them to, chances are they won't. Also, there isn't a black and white answer to every question. Apologies to my American friends here, but that's an American trend we seem to be following. What is interesting about history, politics, science etc is that it IS open to interpretation, and new ideas come around all the time. Might is much more interesting than Is.
Anyway, enough rambling. I hope you're all doing fine, and apologies again for not commenting or generally being around.
