My life

I think if I had enough confidence, I would make most of my entries as a video blog. The main reason being that it's easy. You just sit and ramble away and convince yourself that what you are saying is important, and that the nation is hanging on our every word. Bu when I take a look at the efforts of others in the field, I worry that I might be looked at as contemptuously as them. They just seem empty headed to me, where as the written word can reflect more. If you give people enough free... Sign in to see full entry.

At a crossroads! Since Christmas I've been giving a lot of thought as to how I'm going to make money. My job is so pointless, it's the very epitome of a Dead End Job. Trouble is around here, it's the least worsted. So I need to turn to my own skills to make it. And that means the Web. I've tried Web design, and the problem with that is no one will pay you the full rate. Bit and bobs of work, but you can't make a living from it. By that I mean, if you put all your efforts into designing a unique... Sign in to see full entry.

Being a keen seller on Ebay I'm always looking for ways to get round the hydrous fees! To list all my books would cost me 70 pounds sterling, a month, even is I don't sell a single bloody book. So you can see that I want to try hard and avoid this, especially in view of the slow sales. So I've found a way round it. I list a group of books together as a job lot. But of course people only want to buy on or two from that lot, so I make them a deal on the side. Selling just the ones they want and... Sign in to see full entry.

White Christmas. As I look out the window of our Lincolnshire home in the UK I wonder what ever happened to Global Warming? This is the first Christmas day that snow has been on the ground since I was a little kid back in the 60's. Is the change more scuttle? I think certain parts of the world will be heated up but other places where the Gulf stream changes may even e colder. We are certainly wetter here. I can joke about it as its a novelty, but I fear for people in India and Pakistan which are... Sign in to see full entry.

Just listening to the old ABBA track on the radio, reminds me of something which has been puzzling me for some time. Now I know ABBA were never big in the US but the background to the story is that a girl recalls the routine of her everyday life in detail, and thinks how dull and ordinary it all was before she met the man of her dreams. A little sexist unbalanced for today, I know, but their hearts were in it. The point is, that how would you react knowing this was the last day before something... Sign in to see full entry.

If you have never had a lucid dream, you will never have felt the thrill that here at last is proof of the occult. Once the world of the supernatural opens up for you, everything changes. It has all been worth it. I often think about packing this awful job in and trying something else. But I always stop. Mainly because I've done that in the past and it has had a terrible effect on me, but also because I know I am on the threshold of a major break-through. And that is Remote Viewing the lottery...

If anyone has ever heard of Alibris books I used to use them years ago, but was taken by the shinny lights of Ebay that I gave up and convinced myself that they were the one and only. Now with Ebay messing things up so badly, I fear for the day when the fees are just too high and I will have to look for another site. There are many good sites out there, but few come anywhere near the big boys. Amazon are big bruisers when it comes to marketing, but I think I will give Alibris another try. Not as...

This is a test piece to see if any of my videos come out. Don't know why I would want it, but there you are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsSm-Fuu5-w Sign in to see full entry.

Find myself on holiday this week. No money to go anywhere, but plenty to do. With Ebay changing all the pricing and postage costs, I have to re-do all 731 books to make sure I'm not paying to stand still. I would have to make 100 pounds a month, just to carry on with the listings, and they simply don't care! I'm looking at other listing sites, but will have to find all the ISBN numbers, so plenty to do. Trouble is, my heart is not in it. Sure, I like selling and sending out the books, because...

I'm often tempted to indulge in a video blog. Not sure why. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of an exhibitionist at heart? But I've seen several Vblogs of Utube and find a strange attraction for them. Sure many don't work and they don't have anything to say, but I'm tempted to see my own face up there telling everyone how hard up I am, and wanting sympathy. Pathetic, you have to admit to yourself that it has crossed your mind. Maybe it's something to do with purging the sole and helping you take a... Sign in to see full entry.
