Finally 100 things...............About Me part 2

 


51. I spent my evenings between a variety of night clubs and watering holes. Sobriety was not high on my list


 


52. I started to date a girl whom I would later be engaged to. It was unfortunately longer lived than It should have been.


 


53. My contract at Reuters came to and end I started at Aforbes where I met Christel although nothing would happen here for sometime.


 


54. Sadly my Grandmother gave up her fight for life around this time. A side effect of her long struggle with cancer


 


55. In the tangle above I started to experiment with grass (pot) and also LSD. Destructive I know but it’s just where I was in life.


 


56. I won’t say I was the most stable individual. I did find a place of my own to live and tried to be a little more responsible. Made a messy mistake of buying a house with the girl I was engaged to.


 


57. It was then that she left me. Nothing to do with any of the stuff above she was not aware of it


 


58. this seemed like another good time to live it up and indulge myself. I threw myself into some questionable relationships


 


59. Christel knowing I was due to be married ask how my wedding plans are progressing. I told her not and why.


 


60. 6th of September 1997 . A day set apart as it was the day I would have got married and also the day that Princess Diana was buried. Nice somber day to go sit at my grandmothers graveside and contemplate the wreck my life felt like


 


61. Christel called to ask how I was doing as she remembered it would have been my wedding day. On an impulse I asked her out for a cup of coffee. Ain’t life/fate grand? Indeed 6th September became a day set apart.


 


62. My life with Christel is well documented see http://www.geocities.com/furzl123 and http://wenchy.blogdrive.com


 


63. I got head hunted to go work for another IT concern . Finally accepted within myself computers are my thing and I am probably good at what I do. Christel had a big hand in that.

65. Christel is my Everything

67. I believe in the principle of sowing and reaping. Don’t sow bad karma dude.


 


68. Some of the most striking examples I have ever seen of goodness came from a pagan.

Most of the time anyway.


 


72. He who dies happy wins


 


73. I have come to the conclusion as an adult that I am likely Attention Deficit


 


74. When Liam started school I cried. My relationship with Liam is sometimes difficult, maybe because I see some of myself there.


 


75. I think sex appeal is the most interesting of attributes because its difficult to define


 


76. I almost never do lists for the internet.

86. My first favorite quote on sexuality I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age, it tends to get categorized and labeled,


and I think labels are for food. Canned food.-- Michael Stipe


 


87. My second is It is essential that we realize once and for all that man is  much more of a sex creature than a moral creature. The former is inherent, the other is grafted on.-- Emma Goldman. Thanks Angel for both.
