First Spinsterella dissappears, then LC gets pathological and threatens to kill everyone and now Patroculus is depressed because she hates sunshine (even if there isnt any). Flirty Something is miserable because of an unspecified mid 30's birthday, having no job and living in her sisters flat. This is what I have found out in blogland today. The art of the blog will die if everyone continues to be so bleedin' pathetic. Get positive.
Use your browser to see the world for what it is- one great big human-freindly biosphere of possibilities.
It has been raining everyday for the last month( of summer??)- so what. Last year it was too hot to travel to work and you all wittered on about global warming and water rationing. This year well- its just wetter. We are waterproof. In fact we are life-proof. The only real thing to worry about is death and for most of us that is a long way off (relatively speaking).
For those who do not have so far to travel- well I hope you have lived life in the knowledge that someday you will die and that its approach does not come as a surprise.
Regrets? - bannish them. You cannot go back. Worries about the future ? - yep. Shit happens. Get over it. Worries about other people- They are probably worrying about you. Turn the switch to positive. Press the banzai button (see LC)
Jealous of what others apparently have? - ask them whether they have what they want. No one actually does. Relationships- take them at face value and as they come. Everyone is insecure. Everyone is scared of commitment. Everyone is tired of being crapped on. Everyone should be open to new and unexpected things and they will happen to you if you put yourself into a place and a frame of mind where they might. Go somewhere new. Do something new. Everyday.
Welcome change. Don't be afraid of the future.
Everything will be all right. Everything will be all right. Everything will be all right. Everything will be.
Thats better. Feel good about yourself. Put on your new shoes (figuratively) and dance out the door.
NEXT?

You're absolutely right, Fidel - there's nothing wrong with my life whatsoever. It's fantastic.
I don't think the art of the blog will die if people don't stop whingeing, though. Over the past couple of years I've noticed that people tend to respond to emotional outbursts more than anything else in the blogosphere.
And when those comments threads spark off funny conversations about pants and Tom Lehrer, that's when blogworld is at its finest, if you ask me.
Re. great big biosphere of possibilities - absolutely! I've met more people through blogging, and had much more of a laugh, than I have through any other medium ever, including real life.
Glad to see you've decided to join us!
Sometimes life is good sometimes it is less than good. Blogs should reflect the reality that not all things are perfect. I am not trying to create a utopia but a real blog with real emotion and there is a certain humour in the post IF you look very closely.
It was a depressing start to the week with everyone out there being so negative. I trust your birthday was not all miserable Flirty and indeed Patroculus that the rain has continued to your satisfaction. Mid-summer blues appear less common than the alternatives- I am generally a complete Bastard to all around me for the whole of March.
Thanks for dropping by.
