I think death by chandelier and a concoction made primarily out of alcopops. See ya soon Matthew.I've managed to quit weekend postings, although that might be because I'm usually too fucked to type.

Nah, admit it. The real reason is that weekend posting screams to the world "I am a soulless, friendless hermit with no drive, nor ambition and I've come to a tropical paradise full of beautiful women where I sit in my one-room carpetless dungeon, stare for hours at a computer screen and spout drivel on the internet about my favourite breed of dog, or the last time I went to the 7-11, to a bunch of borderline personality cases and sloth-fanciers whom most sensible people would move countries to avoid."Originally Posted by Getorfmoiland
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.

I feel your pain. My half complete research proposal continues to glare at me from the other end of my desk. I mus finish it and resist the urge to post a picture of my favourite nurse...
Do you have coke?
^ But what do you do after you kick her out because you can't remember her name and she can only say "hel low dah ling", and you can't face the world because just putting your toothbrush close to your mouth hits the gag reflex? Ah yes, replace Ajarn with PS2 until you feel vaguely human then head straight back to where you left the previous evening/this morning. Still, beats Stella fuelled fighting in "The Wanker and Grope".
You get on here and post a picture of your favourite nurse.
Obviously.
...masturbate!...
...only wankers misspell that owrd...
...majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd...
Still waiting on the nurse...
WB, I think this one's right up your strasse!
^ Mate....hand on heart...I was thinking should I put a pic of Hattie Jacques up......great minds that were raised on Carry on Films huh???
CLASS!!!
Riddle me this brother can you handle it
Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it
Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic
This just about covers it all:
Young Mr Grace knew what he was doing...
such....erm....resolve.
i dare you to click on it billy
oops never mind
I'm liking this level of involvement. Although it happens to come at a pretty busy time, I feel unburdened. I do check in once a day, but I don't have to post on several threads as per usual. A few times I've really felt the pull to, however.
It just goes to show how insanely difficult it is to change entrenched habits...for some at least. For me, now, yes. To my eternal dismay, yes. As I intimated in the OP, just now I'm really trying hard to change some of my most deeply ingrained ones - including being much more assertive, more pro-active (planning for my teaching, not just doing what I know how to do well in the moment, or one or two steps ahead), and keeping in touch/actively communicating more with everyday people (at home/with friends/at work) a lot more. Now...I say I'm trying, but the very habit of trying in this context is actually one of the qualities I'm conditioned NOT to be that into. So that's the starting point, really.
Of course I've been into 'self-development' for years (since a weirdly early age for such things, admittedly) in many different ways. Sometimes, many times, when the fellas have gone down to the pub, I've been off at a meditation retreat. When the ladeez has tugged at me I've buried my nose further into my Victor Frankl book or whatnot. Shhhhh! I'm listening to "The Cloud of Unknowing" as an audio book, go away!
But in the real-ass world I'm just another mediocre dude, sorta kinda trying to get something together
I've had a few recent minor moments of fresh pattern-making, but for the most part, I'm still slogging through as the same ol' Matthew. And...he's an OK guy..don't get me wrong, the same ol' me isn't all that bad, really. But it sure is time to stop living in low gear. Shit...maybe I'm having a semi-mid life crisis (I'm 31).
