Okay, some background music first. Kick this off and read on...
What do you mean, you haven't heard of Dobie Gray? Well, what about Sandi Sheldon? Little Johnny Taylor? The Fascinations? They're all American, after all. It might surprise you to know that these artists and many others you won't have heard of have been amazingly popular in the North of England, where I grew...

Fantastic!
Well, the weekend started with a bang, with my wife falling out with our close friend and neighbour. Her husband took voluntary redundancy recently, and has been looking for training and a new job in his field of steel defect analysis. Wifey works for the Department for Work and Pensions, so knows a lot of the processes involved in claiming for various kinds of help....

Unfinished Business
Part One of Three March 2006
I still wonder, looking back, what was my exact emotion at that moment? Disbelief, I suspect, was uppermost in my mind. Bewilderment, perhaps. I cant remember feeling angry, although I should have. Angry with myself, and with the circumstances.
I had planned this trip for months, pored over the map, noted my route in excruciating detail, leg...

FREEDOM LTD
On a whim, I did a search on 'freedom' in Google today. The first entry was about making the most of your last night of freedom with amazing stag and hen parties (Freedom Ltd). Then Wikipedia, obviously. And then the Freedom Group of Companies (specialising in utilities). We also have Freedom Recruitment, Freedom Press, Freedom Lager and Freedom Insurance. All on the first...

As always, your words make all the sense in the world. I agree with you totally about SG. For me, it's way beyond a porn site. The people i've met and the love and support i've gotten transcend anything that anyone may say about this site that's negative. I'll debate anyone who forms what i consider ignorant conclusions about SG with all my being.
I get so crazy this time of year. I thought i'd be better with it this year, but obviously not so. As someone told me yesterday, my guilt really isn't about my sexual desires or my feelings toward the woman who was instrumental in bringing them to the forefront after years of dormancy. The guilt stems from her being gone and me still being here.
Sometimes I think that leaving me to fend for myself was a cruel joke. I seem to prove time and again that I have mountains of trouble dealing with life without Annette.
One thing Ithat I have accomplished on my own is discovering a group of people that I've come to love and trust. Those are real friendships in anyone's book.

Wll said.
The things I said in my blog stemmed from being without Annette and missing her so much. Maybe there's even a little anger at her leaving me, even though those feelings make no sense. All in all, this too shall pass.

You should see their version of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

And is is just me, or is he the spit of Big off Sex and the City?

It's not just you. He does look a lot like Chris Noth from Sex and the City.

Not a long reply at all. I'm unable to sleep and find myself on SG since 5:00am my time.
Baseball is also popular in Latin America. It's a way for kids to attempt to get out of a life of abject poverty.
I feel that one of the reasons that soccer hasn't caught on here is directly related to the overwhelming popularity of the sport in most other places around the world. I believe there is a certain arrogance here that believes that our sports, baseball, basketball and American football are superior to any sport that originates and is wildly popular in other parts of the world.
Even hockey, a sport which, to many people, is more exciting than any of the sports I've mentioned isn't as popular as it should be because it's considered a "foreign" sport. I know I sound very critical of my country's mindset and attitudes. However, these are my honest observations, whether they hold water or not.
