Funny thing is

Mar 10, 2010 12:53am

I have often wondered what it takes to become a politician but I have always come up with the same answer and that's not much. The funny thing is that I think you have to have the gift of the gab and to be able to spin things the way...

Oh boy

Mar 1, 2010 2:36pm

Oh boy what a palaver about the election I thought this was an easy choice because if you look at what has been done and what would have been done by you know who. Then its obvious. We all disagreed with brown giving our money to the banks but if...

Good news and as usual bad news

Feb 7, 2010 10:51am

Good news is I didn't lose my pride and joy, my dvd recorder because by some miracle and luck I managed to keep it and buy a hole fortnights food. The reason well I found one pound fifty and I brought a loaf and bread and a pint of milk....

Life it's fun but what a struggle

Feb 3, 2010 2:46pm

What can I say? Everyday I wake and pray for just an average day of near normality but as we all know sometimes life just throws a spanner in the works. First it was my health and a dizzy doctor, who I now think was using some kind of hallucinogenic...

This what I think

Jan 25, 2010 10:51am

Over the last twenty to thirty years I have been what I call asleep due to the amount of drugs I took over the years and now I am awake and yet even I see the changes made in our so called fair society. My first observation is about our...

Recovering blogger

Jan 7, 2010 5:06pm

Well. my bit for charity wasn't done exactly as I planned because I caught a tartar of a cold and couldn't do all my shifts. I haven't been out of my flat since, today was the first day. It was strange no one was walking or chating in the streets...

Christmas

Dec 20, 2009 4:32am

I was thinking about Christmas and the phrase home for Christmas. I know that some people do have homes and family to go to at this time of year but what about those who have nothing and no one. I have heard some people as I walk the streets at...

A true story

Dec 18, 2009 1:11am

Many years ago I fell into a hole and broke my leg and smashed my knee but today I see the funny side of life and so I wrote this I wrote something similar a few years ago but lost it so I thought it's coming up to Christmas and...

New day new dawn

Dec 17, 2009 11:53pm

Well it's only a few more days until Christmas and I still wonder sometimes what would I be doing if I hadn't changed my life so dramatically so many Christmases ago. When I go out on the streets at night I sometimes stop at places I used to frequent and...

Me being profound

Nov 26, 2009 8:51pm

I was thinking once again which is not unusual these days. It seems to me that everyone in the world asks for that one big miracle at least once in a lifetime it might be to win the lottery or get a new car or just something simple like losing...

a poem of christmas

Nov 26, 2009 3:04am

Every Christmas everyone one sighs That unexpected Christmas happiness sigh Some get over cheerful Some get very very playful Some just sit, smile and cry There are many reasons why It could be long lost loves remembered Tinged with happiness and...

What can I say

Nov 25, 2009 6:33am

When I write I try to write about what I know sometimes adding a bit of humor but even I know life is sometimes severe and cutting. So what I want to do is use some of your imagination. Just closed your eyes and imagine your homeless and haven't got...

Sitting and wondering about Christmas

Nov 23, 2009 7:43pm

I was just sitting watching TV with a friend who never stops crying at Christmas films my flat is sure to cause flooding on a major scale but to get to the point, there I was sitting and I just got this thought what is Christmas and what does it...

Me and my little voice

Nov 13, 2009 4:05am

My voice has been quiet of late because there has been nothing to say except the same old boring thing called homelessness. I sometimes think whats the use, the government seem to convince people that its a thing of the past and the people in the street are so used...

Chances

Nov 6, 2009 5:21pm

How many chances does one need was the question ? that was the question asked, my automatic reply was as many as it takes but now I'm at home and I'm thinking about the people that will not take the chances given because they figure they are on their way...

Once again thinking clear

Oct 20, 2009 12:56am

I'm not the kind of man to give up on things that easy after all the things I've been through in my life I know it makes me who I am. I have not been myself for quite a few months ( I wondered sometimes who I was) It's taken...

just thinking

Oct 1, 2009 5:03pm

Thinking of things to say isn’t that hard for me as I have been used to talking my way through things for years especially hiding the fact that I couldn’t read or write but now I can. The thing is none of this would have been possible if people didn’t...

Revenge of a doughnut

Sep 5, 2009 4:33pm

It's Monday and I am a fresh baked doughnut. I used to have five friends in a bag. We were the doughnut gang but they have now all been eaten by this monster of a man and it looks as if I am going the same way but I wasn't...

Sep 3, 2009 2:34pm

Days go by when you actually get to hear good news but most of the time is spent watching and listening to TV and radio and all the bad news from around the world. It does seem that we are very lucky in Britain although there is a certain element...

Just living

Aug 29, 2009 3:30am

Am I living or am I just going through the motions to what seems some semblance of a life. Living in my own home it's different and I've been doing it for some while now but there's still something missing. Maybe it the daily struggle which you get used to...

I called this recycling

Aug 27, 2009 4:11am

My father who taught me the tricks of the trade and when I got olderTwo kids and a wife who constantly moaned was how I was paidSo I recycled the wife for someone to keepBut alas no cameSo I killed her and buried her deepNow I’m not one to bear...

Do I believe?

Aug 26, 2009 1:32am

Do I believe everything the government says or what Gordon Brown or David Cameron hinted at. So far this year all I have heard is the blame game but if you look at things and weigh them up in your mind sensible people will come to sensible conclusions.The next general...

Not saying much

Aug 25, 2009 5:48am

These days are rather quiet and peaceful for me but I have just spent a few days sleeping rough like I did in the old days but this time it had a purpose. I wanted to see how hard it has become to survive here in London now street services...

Awake and raring to go

Jul 18, 2009 10:18pm

Well, it's been a long time coming but I think normality has returned. It's 6 15 in the morning I'm awake and ready to go for my morning run and within the next few weeks or so get rid of my fat stomach that has built up over the last...

Homeless once again

Jul 16, 2009 1:28pm

Oh well things just don't go to plan do they? You're thinking he's homeless again what happened? Nothing actually. I'm not but by the time I've finished this particular blog I could have been. That's how easy it could be for someone to become homeless by making one lousy decision...
