OK, no more complaining. How about some interesting stories? If you're gonna be a writer, might as well write something interesting. How about all those dates you were on? How did you meet them? How did that go? Don't worry if they didn't work out. Those are usually the better stories anyway. Remember when you tried that stupid opener on that chick at the bar? Remember how she thought you were a total dork? That's a funny story. Remember the one who liked it and wanted to know more about you? That's a good story too. Maybe struggles at work, whatever. Share the moments of your life and practice your writing skills. Isn't that what a blog is for anyways? Also, it so happens that having stories to tell really helps when having conversations with new people (women or friends) so here's a good place to get started. Plus I'm kinda curious what's going on over there. I know how you feel about it. You think it sucks, but what is actually happening in your life? I know, work, but expand on that and try to include a few other things. I (and probably others) really want to know.
umm.. actually nothing else is going on in my life. seriously. i want to write those grat stories. that was the point in all this. but none have happened. i went ot a bachelor party for some work colleagues over the weekend but the details cannot be discussed....besdes that, i haven't done anything for weeks or been anywhere or seen anything. honestly. nothin. i go to work. i come home. i go to bed. repeat.
Hell, boy, I do check the blog from time to time. Don't be so surly! DL is right - when you tell stories, you're great. So nothing happens for a week or two - so what? That's how life is. That's how most of my life in London is, how it is for most people. Get up, go to work, go home, work some more. Sleep, wake up . . . etc. Mostly, life is fucking boring. And, ask yourself, was going out all the time REALLY that interesting?
Write about something you saw on the way home. Write about what you saw on the way to work. Find a cafe in the morning where you can spend a half-hour, fifteen minutes watching people and write about that. Write something about work or people at work that won't get you in trouble. Write about corporate America, about this shitty corporate life that's swallowing us whole (and, if you are thinking of leaving, keep in mind it is getting desperate out there). At least try the fifteen minutes in the morning thing. Believe me, it's helped me keep my sanity doing some very shitty, demeaning, debilitating jobs.
sigh...alright...i'll try, although it may not be updated nearly as much as i like. i'll try to keep the posts to something sane and not involving my quickly disolving sanity. although, that does remind me of a crazy guy back in my hometown. he'll show up in the next post. it's an interesting story and deep-seated fear of mine.
most days i don't have the energy to notice anything so that's why stuff doesn't get written many times.
well it's not! i just got shitty news that i didn't get the job that i was counting on to ge tme out of here. so it is not getting better.
yeh, btw, nothing happens for a week or 2? yeh, nothing has happened to me in about 3 mths here. the last time anything happened was when i flew back to canada.
i work 6 days a week and spend the 7th recovering enough energy to do it all again. that is it. there is no sign that it will get any better here.....if anythig it is getting worse

thanks for your words of encouragement, friends.
Well, we're all scared of ending up as the crazy guy in our hometown dude.
Keep your chin up. It usually gets better.
