Upon pondering

Am I happy with what I have?

That depends on how you view the situation. I have a flat, I have a car that is paid off, I have a job that pays fairly, I quite enjoy my job except for the hours, I have an awesome girlfriend, I have a few flatmates and I live in the city!

The flat is a humble 3 bedroom flat located in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It isn't the most flashiest of homes, I've been getting tradesmen to do work on it for me...windows...new storage space...gas cooker...door adjustments...painting of new door frame...new front door...a drive way and generally tidying up after myself. Being in the flat for 2 months with most of the necessary work almost complete...I can say it is becoming a place I enjoy coming back to after a day at work or somewhere to zone out and chill!

Car...I love my SEAT Ibiza FR Black Edition. Sadly I am having trouble with everyone else, I live on a street where parking can be an issue and cars passing by can be very close...back in September some Jackass bandit hit my car's wing mirror cover off...no damage to the car but the cover needed a polish for the scratches and super glue to keep it on. A few days ago, I found a small chip in the drivers side...it looks like a small stone bounced off the door...very unhappy about that!

I am a waiter. I serve and talk to many different types of people. The work isn't tasking but the hours are not ideal but it does settle the bills!

Girlfriend! (Dear intergalactic lord of the Universe...I love her to bits!) I honestly can't ask for more from this amazing woman...but she holds a darker side...what she would love to do is to move in with me and find a job and start a career in Edinburgh. The problem is...she's duty bound to her parent's business...she is trying to make everyone happy but herself.

Flat mates, I've known these guys since I was in my mid teens and a fantastic bunch they are! They help out...pull their weight and ease me of some financial stress!

The city, Edinburgh, honestly...since moving here to work and live...I've seen relatively little of Edinburgh...some day I work too much and should enjoy what the city offers. They do not know of my frugal ways as I plan to initiate a "get retirement early as an option" plan. Then again...am I working too hard for something too far away?

Of all things you see and hear...do you ever think about the possible problems that the person maybe facing? Small to medium sized problems isn't going to kill you but it will sap away your energy bit by bit without you knowing.

Take home message...do things that you like and makes you happy. It need not be successful but enjoy the journey and what it is that was being done. Life doesn't stop and wait for you...it will pitch you chances...chances i  different forms and ways...it is up to you to choose how happy or sad you want to be!

Tuesday 18th December

I have been drinking for almost the whole week...about 4-5units a time and have noticed that its not good for me...I can't think straight, I can't focus, I am losing motivation and its getting very depressing. OK, my ex girlfriend has got a new boyfriend shortly after the break up...it hurts. Deal with it better! OK, there's this girl I like but doesn't feel the same...it hurts. Deal with it better! My best friend, Adam, you are an irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Thank you for being there when I needed somebody the most and for giving me good enough reasons to hang on to what is left of my sanity. Now that I've sobered up a little can I realise that I am the one stopping myself from progress of any kind. With the Xmas period round the corner, a few drinks will be fine, then afterwards I'll go 2 months without it and see what happens. During this time, I'll catch up on the reading that I have to do and get my "to do list" knuckled d...

Confused state of betrayal

With great sadness, my gran from my father's side passed away on 8th October 2017. A month later, her funeral was held. At the funeral I saw some of her church friends and other relatives that I had not known before. I learned my gran was more talkative than I knew and enjoyed the church events to gather with her friends. When all was done and her ashes were put next to Granfather, we thought; "this is it, all is done". Little did I know it wasn't. Upon the Clan's arrival at the flat, an "idea" was proposed to withdraw half the equity from the property simply because "the parents lived here for a long time" and it was "(grand) father's idea to purchase this very one". Yeah...please note 2 things...who paid the deposit and who paid for the finances?? Answer: non of you. You cheeky fucks who are my blood relatives ALL lived, fucked, procreated, eat, shit, dreamed and used this place at my father's expense. Y'all want a...

A thought occured

Today, Friday 21st of December 2012 and predicted day of THE END...What have I done on this eventful day so far? In the early hours, I had went back to my previous posts, added more information, details in certain areas and checked for anything that didn't make sense. 11:30am, British Time, I turned up at the hair salon for my wash, cut and dry appointment. I know this sounds boring so far but bare with me...my usual stylist was as lively as ever, Kayleigh is her name and she amuses me with her tales of weekends and antics that she gets up to. The conversation then headed towards the subject of her attracting males that have mental problems to a certain degree or ones that seems good, hooks up with her and then spilt because the guy has a psycho partner ready to kill Kayleigh! I asked her if she's been doing anything different? No was the answer, she has the same group of friends, they hang out in the same place, they do the same things and the only slight difference is,...
