Punching windows and stealing police cars. Are just examples of things you could do but know you shouldn’t. Things that would probably make you feel more alive but land you in jail. I was pondering this thought this morning as I got off the train. Thirsty, I eyed the sweet bottles of luscious fluid sitting [...]

10 things I really couldn’t do without
Posted: 17th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: life, things, top 10, wife, £10
There are certain things in life we all treasure. Just lately I’ve come to realise that I’d happily sell most of everything I own if I had to. This isn’t really a pleasant thought, as I do enjoy stuff. This is a list of the 10 things I really couldn’t do without. Not necessarily in [...]
Paranoia – such a wonderful thing
Posted: 27th August 2010 by By Adrian Willings in MusingsTags: cars, life, paranoia, selling stuff
Finally, we’ve managed to find someone who might be interested in buying our old car. It’s taken months, literally. Which made me quite sad actually as it’s a good solid car and I’ve loved it very much, looked after it far better than the previous owners and I’ll be sad to see it go. Despite [...]
Sitting staring at sheep
Posted: 6th August 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: life, sheep, tranquil
This morning I was sitting on a bench, being gently warmed by sun rays when I spotted some sheep in a field across the way. Quietly and peacefully munching on grass, plodding away their short, insignificant existence. I mused that it might be nice to spend a day sitting in a field staring at sheep. [...]
Maslows Hierachy of Needs
Posted: 11th June 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: life, maslows hierachy of needs, needs, pay
Around 15 years ago (sounds scary when put like that) I was at school learning about Maslows Hierarchy of needs. It was a business studies lesson and I remember it well – not the lesson, the Hierarchy. I suppose because it was useful and actually interesting. Unlike Maths. I could never really see the point [...]
Wasted life spent staring at screens
Posted: 7th June 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: life, onion
Theonion.com has always been a wonderful source of amusement for me. I recently made the sensible plan of following them on Twitter. It paid off when I saw this article: http://onion.com/agVr6f Although completely fictional. It certainly rings some truth bells doesn’t it? Especially since I’ve been staring at a glowing rectangle all day long and [...]
Sometimes I just feel like giving it all up and moving to a desert island. Working in a bar serving cocktails to tourists or simply living out of a mud hut. Scraping a living is getting me down. I spend all my months wages on bills, mortgage and train fares. I’m nearly 30 and I [...]
Aren’t people funny? (part 2)
Posted: 22nd April 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: life, people, trains
I suppose this should really be titled “Isn’t life funny?” But people were technically involved, so I’ll stick to my guns. On 1 of the trains into work, we have to change at a certain stop. Which means getting off the train, obviously. The conductor or whoever is in charge of the tannoy system announces [...]
Whatever doesn't kill you…
Posted: 15th April 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: ankle, hurts, life
…Hurts like hell. I’ve recently come to believe that the phrase “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is a load of nonsense. My ankle still hurts and perhaps its paranoia but I don’t feel like it’s stronger. Quite the reverse in fact. I now spend all my time holding stair rails. I’m not even [...]
Such a hard life being a cat, Sometimes you just need a good rest, A place to lay you weary head, And dream of tuna, mice and tin foil. Oh, to be a cat, That sombre beast with simple loves, Oh, to be a cat, Stroked, prodded and loved. Oh, to be a cat, Dribbling [...]
