The Long Weekend

... AND BACK TO N.A.!...

HELLO MY FRIENDS... back again at long LAST. I never WANTED to be away
, but was separated from the e-world by a lack of internet connexion and a lack of funds so bad I couldn't EAT yesterday, let alone shell out money for fancy-shmansie international textsational bloggeries..!

So what have I been doing? Not sulking, not surlying even... just kind of "hibernating" in my room... even though it's not "hiver"/"hiber" or any hibernational time of year...

My trotters have been on good form though... Poor Baby Itchy is fed up of my cooing: "are you the Tiniest Trotter? Yes! You're the Tiniest One...!"

She just looks up at me all furry and weary and goes: "shut up, man!"

Now as for that free drugs gift from that evil dealer: I do know the man; he rang me, saying "where are you?" "Why?" I wanted to know. "Because I have something for you." Then he came round with said Free Gift ... it was NOT a "sample" as they sometimes give out, but rather a Compensation Bag as I complained so vociferously and bitterly at how microscopically TINY his previous sale to me had been. Plus, as I said on the day, it STILL blocked the blinkin' works up. I.e. it was useless and I have refused to call him since.

... So, cutting a possibly circuitously blabberous story short, I'm returning BACK TO N.A. TONIGHT! And shall tell how it goes!!

And now on to music. Please answer this query of mine as it's a point of fascination:~

MUSIC OF THE DAY 1 (play this first...):
REM ~ LOSING MY RELIGION...

Intrusive Query of the Day: Have you ever wept bitterly as this song played out around you...?



MUSIC 2:
REM ~ EVERYBODY HURTS.

No queries here, but don't you think this is the better tune? (Not to mention video..?)




Have a cheery day, everyone!

  1. What's going on with the cash flow? Are you okay now? Have you got money for food again? This is all a bit of a worry to me.

  3. Dear Gleds ~~ I am so sorry you haven't been able to get the Internet
    and more to the point, you need food
    so try to keep esting, buy the food first!!I agree a lot of psychiatrists
    do act as though they are God.
    Take great care, my friend, Love, Merle.

  4. You don't know who Johnny Cash is? This is disturbing. Ring of Fire, Folsom Prison. I don't think I have ever come across someone who doesn't know who JC is EVER. He is an Americana country singer AKA The Man in Black. The made a movie about his life, Reese Witherspoon plays his wife June Carter. Long story short, Johnny Cash was a heavy drinker and drug abuser who overcame his addictions with the help of the Carter family (who were also a very influential travelling country band). Anyhoo, look it up, interesting story and good Americana music. Take care. Eat. Be well.

  5. The correct answer to his query "Where are you?" next time is "Nowhere you need to know about" click. Hang up phone.

  6. Aestivating. Honestly, it's the summer equivalent of hibernating.

    I hope you've eaten enough today.

  8. Hooray for NA! Good lad . . no excuse for not eating though . . .you'll need to be in good health to get through all this. And Everybody Hurts makes me cry more than the other one ...I stopped listening to REM because their songs are so negative . . .well many of them.

  9. Hello Gledwood! Looking forward to hearing about tonight's N.A. meeting! I'm afraid to play the videos in case I cry into my morning coffee! Thinking of you...

  10. Yes Gleds Ive done a fair bit of snivelling to 'everybody hurts in my time'.

    REM always bring me back to a time when I was decorating a big room for the first time, up the ladder with paper in hand, swaying away to automatic for the people, everytime I hear REM It brings me back to that summer.The room looked great too for a first attempt.

    N.A..............good to hear, youve got something to give too remember.

    Hopefully you will have some money for something to eat tommorrow,if not shall have to send you food parcels like I did for my son when he was in Iraq, were all fighting our own personal battles in some way....and one needs food for the journey and the soul

    Take care Gleds and good luck for tonight, hope its encouraging xx Auds

  11. Hi Gleds, hope you managed to get some food into you yesterday and made it to your NA meeting ... how did it go?

    As for REM they are ok but no I've not been moved to tears by either song *!*

  12. Glad to hear it was not just a sample mate.

    Regarding the weeping question. The answer is no but hearing that song makes me want to cry because it's one of my most hated songs of all times and all genres. Sorry, I just wish R.E.M. didn't exist ;-)

    Good on you to go the the N.A. meeting again too dude.
