Life is like..........
 
.........a box of chocolates -- a cheap, thoughtless perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for; unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you are stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down and there is nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there is a peanut butter cup or English toffee, but they are gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you are desperate enough to eat those all you have got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers

Not really, just a normal day when I've found out I've got to wade through a mass of data mapping shite which I've never done before!

Would you believe I'm often told that I'm very negative?

Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

I LIKE THIS THREAD.

......a nice pint. sometimes you get good head, sometimes you don't. sometimes its nice and fizzy with lots of life, others it dull and flat and looks like a large glass of piss, and you still drink it. sometimes you have to drink it in places you don't want to be, with people you don't want to be around. have to much and its bad, don't have enough and you want more, and if you have never tasted a really good one, you have wasted your time.

Steady on there, Rae, you're getting a bit enthusiastic about this idea. I wouldn't bother if I were you - it's all bollox.

Meh.

Bernard Sumner had a habit of sacking drummers by giving them a box of chocolates (ok this is just a useless piece of music business trivia but it means I can link a classic clip I found on youtube this morning :thumbup:)

quite. i have to go now and, mow the lawn, get my hair cut, entertain my daughter all day, do the recycling, pick up dry cleaning, do the washing, take the bins out, iron, walk the dog, then go to work tonight and supervise drunken halfwits who cannot be trusted to do it themselves.

why anyone thinks life is stupendously different just because they emigrate is beyond me. twats.

Off to MEC to get a bike trailer, then to UPS to pick up what I hope is my passport, then off to have an unhealthy lunch, siwmming with daughter in the pm, viewing a house in Sundance and then off to the Folk Festival................meh, it'll probably all be shite

Re: Life is like..........
 
I know... it's so easy to be a cynic. But just occasionally something makes my heart soar... the look of love in the eyes of my partner or children, a glorious view, the trill of the dawn chorus, a perfect sunset, a stirring piece of music, a staggering piece of art (and I could go on and on...)

Choosing to live somewhere other than the place where we were born and raised only changes some of the external cirumstances... it's up to each of us to make the best of our lives. :thumbsup:
