It's Christmas

Hello boys and girls.

It's almost Christmas and the world is a wonderful place, I have had work business replaced with the general madness of this time of year....truth is I love it.

This year I met so many wonderful amazing people that i did'nt even know last year, and those that i did know continue to reveal amazing depths and talents that nobody ever knew they had.

the years business was brilliant, next year will be even better.

I am giving the football one final major shot.

so from Jan 1st, I have to get rid of a few things from my life and add on a few more.

Alcohol has to go
Cigarettes have to go.
weights need to be pushed (feckin gyms)
running has to be done (OMG).

having said that...the side benefits will be huge.

No Hangovers.
More money
better health
fit fitter fittest
and I'll be a babe (ok maybe not a babe)

having put all that done i'm not sure whether i'm looking forward to the football or the side benefits the most.

finally have the wireless broadband installed at home, so perhaps i will be a more regular blogger

enjoy it and have a wonderful christmas

Paul.

Nearly Christmas

had the lovliest laziest weekend, did a few things on sat and on sunday did nothing but drink coffee, read the papers and practice a few magic tricks (which i am definately improving at)

was wondering over the weekend about reality, what it is, how it works etc, there was another wonderful robert winston show about the relationship between god and science on BBC 2, I really have no belief and i blame that mostly on those looneys in kentucky and alabama who will reject any sane evidence and still go with creationism as a belief system.

this intelligent design bullshit, it's not that i have a personal problem with them, let them believe what they like, it's just 3 things

1. They reject outright that anybody but them could possibly be true believers
2. there are soo many of the fookers
3. your man bush is one of them so they have significant political clout.

god save us all from the fundamentalists, regardless of their creed.

it's those who are certain that they are right that are surely the most dangerous

strange times.

I can't believe your man Roy Keane is moving to Celtic, all my worst nightmares have come to pass, I have to make myself the same promise regarding Celtic as I made regarding the Republic of Ireland after Saipan, namely I will not go to watch the club while he's there.

Roy Keane sums up for me everything thats cold and horrid in a human being

he intentionally goes out to hurt people
he has no compassion
he has an ego the size of a small elephant
he cannot take others into account
(and nowadays he's not a great player either)

I imagine wee gordon strachen will have to leave shortly as well, now that dermot desmond is picking the team

anyway........ apart from that all is well

do i love gadgets or what?

I am sitting on the floor in my sitting, writing this on my new powerbook, which is connected to the net via the bluetooth in my mobile phone, (the wireless broadband should be here tomorrow) and i'm navigating with my new cordless mouse.

it's still going to be very busy on the run up to christmas, but i think the worst is over, there's kinda a nice combination of work and fun left and I'm looking forward to it, was worried about today but it went so amazingly well...

ho ho ho

it's friday and it's wonderful

hey....... how's it going....it's almost the weekend.

my beauty is 13 tomorrow......time to forget all the sweet childhood stuff and embark on what you might call "the adventure of a lifetime"

she's the best kid in the world and I love her to bits...... my mates tell me that i am in for a hard time....that 13 to 85 is the most difficult time in a girls life....and her dads.

I do have hopes for her though.

I hope she is always her own woman.
I hope she is always independent.
I hope she never has to rely on any man for anything. (and that i will always be there for her)
I hope she finds happiness inside...and not spend her life searching for it outside
I hope she's lives up to her own unique beauty....and not someone elses concept.
I hope we're friends when i'm 90

ok....now for the party

What a laptop!

Those of you who read this rubbish occassionally will know that earlier on this year I set myself a particular goal and that the reward for achieving that would be a new Apple 17" Powerbook.

Well the good news is not only did i pick up the laptop yesterday, but i'm actually using it today to write this blog

now it's time to set a new goal and plan a new reward
it's gotta do with a quarter and here's the reward







cheers
