A - Dear reader, I don't know. This is often something that vexes me when I'm trying to do stuff computer-based. I will endeavor to find out for you.
Q - "Big Daddy, you are always an inspiration for me. Where did my life go wrong?"
A - "Well, that implies your life has gone wrong. Everyone lives a different life, wildly different from everyone else, even though sometimes everyone feels insignificant at some point in their life, and asks -am I important? Well the answer is yes! Of course you are. Without the most 'ordinary' person in the world, everything would be different. Just by walking across a room someone could see you and think 'wow'. Even if nothing comes of it, you've made that person's day better. And just by making that day better, you've made their life better. So never doubt your own importance. You're one of the most important people in a lot of other peoples' lives.
Anyway in conclusion there is no right or wrong way to spend your life. So smile and enjoy what is.
Q - Why did you give such a more in-depth answer to the 2nd question than the first one?
A - How did you know in advance what I put? This is a write-in agony-aunt style piece.
Q - I know where you live
A - Ok....
Anyway I hope you all figured out that at this time of year, or any time of year, or in fact any time in your life, it's perfectly OK to feel down once in a while. For instance right now, I've been single for a while with no sign of that changing. I'm listening to Christmas music in November. I'm overweight, and compensate for my insecurities by cracking jokes at every opportunity.
Someone I know tried to lure me into a serious conversation about what I want to do with my life, which is something i do ask myself often. I had the usual dreams when I was younger. I wanted to be a teacher first, I remember. Then I wanted to be a policeman. Professional pianist?
I started this blog as a piss-take of one of my friend's blogs 'Let Thy Words Be Few' which was a load of emo-ish demonstrating of how shit everything in the world was. I don't want this to veer in that direction and I nearly always try to add humour (as a defence mechanism? Perhaps, but I do like making people laugh/smile/not depressed) but I think endless levity needs to be compared to the occasional seriousness in order to have any real value.
There's a lot of darkness in the world (not that anyone really needs telling that, we all know). We live in a country with deep cultural and economical problems. We live in a world with looming disasters of every stripe. People are dying in the thousands across the globe from disease, famine and good ol' human corruption. Politicians in the wealthier countries 'help' with one hand whilst protecting their own careers/wealth with the other. A lot of people are unhappy about the state of the world but aside from a few modern-day heroes let their own personal problems closer to home distract them from these issues. I don't really blame them, I'm just as guilty as any. I mean I'm writing about it now, but so what? A couple of dozen people read the most popular of my posts and then what? Maybe think about it for a short time then get back to their everyday business.
So what is my message really? 99% of my blogs have no message. Be happy, I guess. On the one hand, you are important and should be proud of yourself (unless you're clearly a criminal monster or something, in which case yes you should probably not be proud of yourself) but on the other hand...on the other hand there are problems in this world that we can scarcely imagine. I mean I'm writing in a pretty moribund manner this evening but I've never had any real hardship in my life, so it's probably just the alcohol talking.
Be thankful for those you have in your life who you love, and you love you in return.
Spare a thought for the less fortunate, and just do one thing tomorrow to help someone and you will have made a difference to the whole world.
If someone means a lot to you, let them know. Forget the games we play and say to yourself 'I'm not playing a game, I'm living my life'. If it doesn't work out, hold your head up high and know that you gave it a try and sometimes that's all you can do.
If you don't feel spiritually uplifted and need to vent yourself, I ask that you leave torrents of abuse directed at the following targets:
Dapper Laughs - Complete cock-end. Harasses women and calls it comedy. Panders to the growing 'Lad' society in Britain. Any female not accepting of his crass abuse are dubbed 'uptight'. Let us buy him a one-way ticket to a Swiss Clinic and be done with him.
UKIP - racists-in-denial. It doesn't matter which country owns the land you fell out of your mother's vagina on - in fact any 'political party' that hides behind a veneer of British patriotism while spreading fear and hatred towards anyone who isn't a white male with a British accent, essentially. We're all old enough to know better.
If you can think of other targets for any venting abuse don't hesitate to comment below, or on my Facebook page.
Thanks for reading. Stay safe and don't be afraid to make a difference in someone's life right now!
