Thoughts at the end of another year…

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 31st, 2009

This has been an interesting year for me but for now I’m just going to look back on the good things that have happened. Cancer – I don’t have it! After an episode of coughing blood my GP hit the panic button and I went through 18 months of screening for lung cancer, in March [...]

Letting go is not an option – AK

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 30th, 2009

Carrying on from my last post, I’ve been asked more than once why I find it so hard to move on from events that took place so long ago. There’s a simple answer, of course, which is that in writing my book I have to revisit those events regardless of the distress they cause. There’s [...]

Still looking for that answer…

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 30th, 2009

There will be a slight change to the titles of posts dealing with my childhood and adolescence. From now on you’ll see either BK or AK  probably at the end of the title. This is not just a silly piece of pretension it’s there for a reason. The B stands for before and the A [...]

Beware of falling small people…

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 17th, 2009

Over the next few days I’m going to relate some of the tales from my life before the events that will be told in my book. Some of the events are funny, some less so but they’re all part of the tale of a little boy whose life was changed forever at the age of [...]

Back on track, well mostly…

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 11th, 2009

It would seem that I’ve got my proverbial mojo back and I’ve actually sent the first enquiry to Exeter University to got onto the English Literature course next year. I should probably offer some sort of apology for my unmitigated grumpiness over the last few day, not least to my beloved Gary. I suspect that [...]

Searching for meaning & purpose

Posted in Frustration, Uncategorized on Dec 9th, 2009

Nothing jolly to write about today I’m afraid. I’m feeling very low just now wondering where my life’s going. It’s hard for me to come to terms with the fact that something as insignificant as a cancelled lunch date could so easily ruin my day. I was supposed to meet my former boss but he [...]

Oh gosh, I'd like to thank…

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 8th, 2009

I’m in danger of becoming a star struck newcomer! Bob over at I Should Be Laughing has included me in his list of 5 blogs that he loves as part of The Circle of Friends Award, I feel as if I should have a speech ready but it’s all so unexpected. Not having been in [...]

The neutral zone – not perfect but I'll take it

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 7th, 2009

Forgive the previous anguished howl of a post. Since then I’ve done about 2 thousand words, I didn’t know I could type that fast, and have purged a lot of misery. Having reviewed what I’ve written I’m pleasantly pleased to discover that it’s actually rather good and won’t need a great deal of modification when [...]

And back out of the comfort zone

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 7th, 2009

Well that was a short stay!My brief moment of warmth, like my one good year when I was 14, has vanished and my self-esteem had just hit an almost record low. I don’t think I’ve felt this shit about myself since I was 10 when a certain bastard made me take his cock in my [...]

The wheel is turning full circle

Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 5th, 2009

Well I’ve come to a major decision and I’m finally going to apply to University to do a BA in English literature. There’s a sweet sense of irony in the fact that I’ll be applying to Exeter. All those years ago when I was having one or two problems I deliberately threw away my A [...]
