i apologise for the lack of a photo on my profile. blogger seems to be conspiring to keep me from posting my pic... nevertheless, i shall persevere.

onto more pressing matters...

am i losing my sense of humor? (eek!) a few days ago, i made a comment ('could you go any slower') about a car driving really slow in front of us and it was brought to my attention that i am sarcastic. crap. sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and i am sarcastic. double crap.

have i really lost my sense of humor or am i simply another victim of the brutal school of life? i miss rhodes (no doubt) and the fact that i haven't found a half-decent job makes my liver sad, but does that also mean that i've subconsciously slipped into a state of subliminal morbidity? mmm... let me be more clear - have i become a boring, city-worn, past-its-sell-by-date overwashed bon bon? blimey, i hope not...

on a completely different note, life is good - i have a lovely roof over my head, yummy food in my tummy, nice clothing on my back.

other than that it sucks... still no job, still no word from the millions of people i've sent my cv to and still no bleeding sign of light at the end of my rather bleek looking tunnel...

ok, so maybe i'm painting a rather too-bleak-a-picture, but the world is a complicated, ironic, cruel place... that being said - oh things could have been so much worse.

in the light of things being much worse and in absolute gratitude for the things i do have - lets end this one on a good note:

*ahem

don't worry if your job is small and your rewards are few... remember that the mighty oak was once a nut like you...

adieu...

*ahem

let me recite a couplet...

i wish i was a glow-worm,
a glow-worm's never glum.
how could you be unhappy,
when the sun shines out your bum!

thank you very much.
