Revenge is a dish best served cold, so they say.
It’s a phrase quite often used in popular culture and another phrase reiterated in The Godfather.
I’d heard it when I was younger, but If I’m honest, I was never sure exactly what it meant?
But now looking back, I seem to have learned that lesson from life experience.
I guess it depends that each case is different and it depends on the particular circumstances at the time. Continue reading “Wolf -4 – Cold”
Did you know that all wisdom is contained in the Godfather?
That it has rules for life that can be applied to almost any situation.
Friends close, enemies closer?
Not letting your emotions affect your judgement?
She was gone.
After four weeks of hibernation, I eventually told my friends and family. I was hurt, broken-hearted and strangely even felt ashamed although I’d done nothing wrong.
I’d had one week of shock, then two weeks of sleepless nights full of vengeful thoughts and what-ifs.
The final week was acceptance, realising that life has to go on, letting go of the most hurtful aspects, resurfacing and moving on .. or at least trying to.
My emotions were almost a classic case of the Kubler-Ross model of dealing with grief and mostly fitted the standard grieving process for losing a partner.
This was my first time and I wanted it to be perfect in every detail.
Or at least as perfect as it can be when you have absolutely zero experience.
The build up seemed to last forever, I’d had lots of time on my own to imagine how it would feel.
How I would feel?
Would I embarrass myself, lose my confidence, do something stupid which leaves a damaged mind-set forever.
Of course I was going to be nervous, it was only natural and fully expected.
What wasn’t expected as we faced each other waiting to begin, was my complete memory blank.
All that practice on my own imagining this moment and my mind was empty.
Even worse, when I plucked up the courage to look you in the eye, you returned my gaze, waiting in anticipation of my next move.
No pressure then! 🙂
I gently but firmly placing my fingers where they are supposed to be, but their shaking and I’m terrified in case I get this badly wrong. Continue reading “Get Into The Groove? #Humour”
Tonight Scotland face England in Wembley … my emotional response?
Zero .. doesn’t even register.
I suppose that I want Scotland to win, but it’s not expected and I’m neither up nor down about it.
Tonight while the game plays out to the expected victory for England, I’ll be at the Glasgow Hydro to see the Australian Pink Floyd for 6th time.
What a show these guys put on, fantastic musicians and licensed by the real Pink Floyd for use of video and stage material, its quite a spectacular event.
A tribute band playing a venue as large as the Hydro is a massive achievement.
By contrast, tomorrow, I’m playing my first live gig ever.
A sell out of 200 at the hall of a social club for a local charity.
Small stuff I know .. but I’m feeling both excited and terrified.
No wonder I’ve no emotion left for the Scotland game.
What a week eh?
Trump elected as President of the USA, despite receiving slightly less actual votes than Clinton.
Seems that he won not on the Popular Vote, but on the Electoral Colleges, picking up wins in the swing states.

I’m neither a Trump or a Clinton fan, as far as I’m concerned most politicians are corrupt to one degree or another and these two are right up at the top of the food chain.
Seems to me though, that I’d be pissed off if I was Clinton and won the peoples vote yet lost out because of the electoral colleges.
Government for the people by the people?
Nah .. didn’t think so.
Young love, It makes you do crazy things.
Like marry your first girlfriend?
Yes, we were probably married too young, but that doesn’t excuse her behaviour.
What happened?
She cheated on me obviously.
How long had you been together?
We met aged 18, she wasn’t the first girl I’d kissed but she was the first girl I had sex with.
Why did you get married?
Because we were stupid, full of the joys of youth and madly in lust with each other.
But that’s not a reason to get married so young?
Yes I know, I just couldn’t believe that I’d met a girl as gorgeous as her who wanted to be with me. I didn’t think that I’d meet any one better and after a few months we moved in together then after a year we made it official.
Were you happy?
Actually, I was. But my parents weren’t. My dad had a quiet word with me and said I should be setting up on my own and playing the field for a while before settling down.
Do you think that you should have listened to him?
Obviously, but that’s easy in hindsight, at the time we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.
When did it start to go wrong?
It didn’t, or if it did, I wasn’t aware that it was. That’s the thing, you can’t read other people’s minds, they can be deceitful and you never know until it’s too late.
How did matters come to a head? Continue reading “Wolf – 2 – Hurt”
As we got on the train together she bumped me for a moment then I held back and let her pass as gentlemen do.
She was just that little bit pushy, her need or urgency to get in and grab a seat seemed greater than mine.
She’s sitting across from me now.
Late 40s, long dark hair, slim, probably a bit too slim.
Yep that’s right, being too slim is a real thing.
Personally I don’t know many guys who like skinny women.
Slim is good as long as there is shape, curves, hips, tits, arse.
But not too curvy, not curves on curves. That’s just excessive fat.
I know this one guy who was married to a skinny girl with a straight up and down boyish figure. Continue reading “Train Stories – Contagious. “
