Today marks day 5 of duking it out with the ‘rona. I feel like I’ve rounded the bend and now heading toward the finish line. Its a great feeling, as Ive been bed ridden for the past three days, bored as hell, and dealing with a mountain of emotional turmoil. As well, my senses of…
Just got the results in yesterday. My wife, her father and brother all have it too. Hoping for a speedy recovery, and that I did not spread it to anyone! More to come….
I lasted 5 days with Amazon. Long enough to get my first paycheck and confirm just how lousy working for this company – at least as “Sortation Associate” is. Now to be fair, I heard from a fellow employee that some Amazon sites are better to work at than others. Like myself, he was appalled…
Well in a last minute plot twist sent down by devil or god, I got a job at Amazon here in the UK. So Im still here and will be until Im not then, I reckon. I started my new position as “Sortation Associate” last week and let me tell ya, its a far cry…
04:16:25 – Today will be my last day volunteering at the Kempton before I head off back to the States to find work and rebuild my life. Things will be a bit different this time around as it is Tuesday, not my normal Thursday visit. This means a whole new team of volunteers that I…
Today is the beginning of the second day of a five day three day water fasting effort. My last meal was on Monday, where I absolutely gorged myself on Moroccan beef and chicken served up with a creamy salad and fries. Afterwards, I went home and made a giant batch of pumpkin seeds roasted in…
A new recording I made earlier today using my guitar and microphone in a corner of the bedroom. It is a variation on the end section of a tune called “The Window” that I wrote several years ago with my band at the time, 12 Gauge Strings. If you care to hear the original check…
A terrific book that I bought here in London about two years ago. I let my Mother borrow it and she couldn’t put it down. Im happy to say that I couldn’t either. This book is an interesting character study of an eccentric middle aged woman who must cope with the struggle of day-to-day life…
Yesterday I left for the Kempton at approximately 8AM, aiming to reach the site by 10AM, which is when work ordinarily begins. Took the Central line from Leytonstone to Bank (instead of Tottenham) to see if this might be a more efficient route to Waterloo via the Northern line. Annoyingly, it wasn’t. Northern splits into…
A David vs. Goliath style war drama in which a small group of Chinese forces hold the line against a much larger, and better equipped Japanese military. The story takes place in 1937 at a warehouse deep within the city of Shanghai, where a Chinese battalion of 420 men (claiming to be at 800 to…
