When I was 16 I wrote a song on the toilet. I'm not a singer or a song-writer, this just came to me. I cooked the whole thing up while sitting on the loo and during the subsequent ten minutes. I wrote it down, memorised it, I now perform it for friends and family on request. The song is called Trailer Trash and is the sad story of a battered wife with twenty-five children.

It's not me. It is you.
Indeed! I told an outwardly racist friend to move along swiftly after a particularly outrageous comment. I always had a habit of befriending the underdog, this colleague was being picked on at my new place of work, so I made a point of befriending her. I found out why eventually; her views were idiotic, her mannerisms grating, her intelligence non-existent.
By the time I discovered her true personality we were quite good friends. I suspect she's somewhat simple bordering on autistic so I never imagined cutting her off, until her final offense.
She made a comment I'd be ashamed to share and I emailed her a succinct severence. She responded with a barage of nonsensical abuse, that made the whole thing easier, I often rejoice at her absense from my life.

Who the hell knows! Not me.
One of the things I love about life is I don't know where it will take me. I could be a mother and a wife, I could be living by a beach, I could be in exactly the same situation I am now, although I doubt it, I get bored as a rule every three years. I go for violent shake ups to life; I'll get cabin fever and rush off to the furthest away place. Or I could completely calm down and be part of a family. Ironically, that would be the most drastic of changes.

There's no such thing as too much of a good thing
Anyone who has an upper limit to the amount of money he could put to good use lacks imagination, as does anyone who lives within their means.
I could use all the money in existence; giving to friends, working with charities, buying properties, drinking away any excess.

Take the world, shake and stir it and that's what I got goin' o-on
I packed up, bought a coach ticket and hauled ass out of my hometown. I've done it twice, I'll probably do it again. I like to 'take the world shaken and stirred'. I like things haphazzard, I want to know my time on Earth isn't mapped out, set in stone or pre-determined. I want to be able to go anywhere and do anything, even if I go nowhere or do nothing again. I need options, outs, exits. I'm flawed, I'm growing, learning, developing, changing; my life has to match. If I feel trapped by or bored of a place I leave it and head to pastures new. I like to 'break down these old four walls and build them right from the ground.'
