Not updated in a while, no I didn’t forget…. Just cba. One of them weeks. Hopefully, I’ll be back on form shortly.
Where do I start? Friday I had the kids overnight, which was good apart from Kay’s house being a tip. Couldn’t blame her as such as she had a bad back and couldn’t do stuff around the house. As for the single mum and part time boyfriend she has staying there every now and then, that’s a different matter. I was of the view that they could at least have tidied the food off the floor, the clothes and made the house into some kind of order. By the morning, I had to get out of the house, so I took the kids to a nearby park. Had a nice sit in the sun while Rhys did his thing on the climbing frames.
Kayla didn’t arrive at the house when we agreed, 11 -12. She later explained that she had to go hospital. Fair dos. I’m not one who seeks petty things to argue about, so let it slide. Anyways, I pawned the children off onto the single mum that she has staying there, as I needed to be at the cinemas for 1pm to see Indy with friends.
The film went great. Settled in and bought myself a hot dog as I had had no lunch. Met up with my friends Chris and Katies, a couple who I befriended whilst I lived in Runcorn. They are cool and are always there when I want to go watch a film or go out but don’t want to go alone.
I loved the film. Harrison Ford was indeed back on form and it had everything you look for in a good film. The ending slightly left me bored, but overall the film rocked and I loved it loads. Definitely one to see. Don’t want to get blabbering on about it as I’ll spoil it for those who haven’t seen it.
Anyways, that night went out with long lost friend James. I was nervous to start off with as I hadn’t seen him in a while. Not sure why I was nervous to be honest. As soon as we got talking about old times, I soon realised he hadn’t changed a bit. Well, he is balding slightly and now has a good paying job. It was great to see him doing well where in the past I’ve seen other friends not doing well at all. Another good friend Andy, who I used to look up to and follow in a group was in trouble with police and drugs.
Me n James went by his house and got a lift from his mum to James’s friends house. His mother stated I hadn’t changed in the 10 years that had passed, which made me feel well even though it was just a thing said to pass the time on the journey. I have been feeling my age a bit lately with my arthritic knee and stuff. We set off walking into town shortly after meeting up with his friend Alan. Went into a few pubs. I even got on Karaoke singing my Karaoke favourite Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry. I would never have thought about singing back 5 years ago. Must be the new me shining through. The few people in the bar applauded and the DJ even played it back as he did with everyone and it sounded decent.
The night got better as we moved on. Did shots and had pint after pint. James couldn’t hold his beer so steadily he became funnier and funnier lol. Our final destination was that of BBs in Widnes. It was reminiscent of a can of sardines in there and I found myself being bounced back and forth between sweaty middle aged men and pimple poppin teens. Good start…. Not. James met up with his younger brother David, who last time I seen was about 8. Geez how time flys. He remembered me and we got on well.
James was a beast on the dance floor and was in most of the girls faces and dancing all over them. I was dancing off to the side with some others, but couldn’t do what James was doing. I am more the skulking off in a corner type and shooting occasional flirting glasses off into the unknown hopefully seeking that hottie or something hoping that I’d get a dance or something. So, I danced….. alone. It wasn’t good on my confidence. Girls were choosing others to dance with other then me and I soon felt like the chubby kid at school not being chosen for the footie team…. Soon after I left and walked home. Thoughts ran through my mind .o(was it the dancing? Was it how I looked? Was it the fact that I was staring?) Perhaps I thought too much into it and never gave it enough time, or maybe I was in need of someone close, even if dancing that I got too upset and over-reacted. God I’m hopeless. I got home eventually and was knocked out before my head hit the pillow. I soon forgot about the night and got on with life.
Sunday I relaxed. Went for a few with my dad in the local. Monday was bank holiday Monday. Did nothing there too. Went Sisters and lounged there all day. Always on edge when I go there though. My sister and her husband Ceiran are always at each others throats. Recently (yesterday) she phoned me early in the morning wanting to speak to Dad because he had battered her senseless. She was crying her eyes out and so was their son, Jack who must be going through so much trauma. Its been going on for a while now. They argue and she comes running to my dads. Its been mostly verbal abuse up to now, but now that he’s starting to hit her, I want to get involved. I tried to supply her with a number for domestic abuse helpline, but she refused. Instead shes coming to live at ours for the weekend. Its getting so bad that my nephew often stays over at ours too. My niece just goes out with friends. Will see how it pans out. I want to say something to him, but being a person of a broader outlook on life, I know theres two sides to every story. I’ve heard his many times. She drinks, a lot, she causes arguments over things going on that’s on her mind and it just explodes. Best solution I see is if they split. They’ve not been happy for a while now and I see no love there.
During last week i spent a lot of time creating a superhero for a contest on a Facebook group i joined. Hope i win. Heres what i came up with thanks to UGO superhero maker
and heres the story behind the character.
Name: Supernova
Alias: Daniel Star
Powers: energy lightning, flight, regeneration and super speed
Background: Whist on a mission to explore the properties of an unknown vortex in space, Daniel Star and a group of well trained astronaughts accidentaly got trapped inside of the vortex. A mysterious force from another galaxy forewarned Daniel of a giant dark force travelling to dominate earth and gave him the choice to receive powers to combat the dark force, but at a cost. His crew mates would have to stay. Thinking of the greater good he reluctantly accepted and from that dayon became the amazing Supernova.
Phew… will have to update more often, these big catch ups are time consuming and lets be honest, no one wants to read an essay now…
