Me For Sale.

Posted on July 31, 2013 by JJBollOX

IT’S NOT ON MY LIST IT’S NOT GETTING DONE? Reasons for listing and associated tangents

Posted on April 9, 2013 by JJBollOX

There are things that I wish to do; not ‘To Do’ stuff on amassing pieces of paper, nor the stuff of a Bucket List things. I do not have a bucket list and like Anja and N’n,  I do not … Continue reading →

Snippets of conversation – with myself. Such is life and its’ many elements. Many unfinished. Yet do they need to be finished to be of value? How many half read books, part conversations held or overheard; how many cutting remarks, half … Continue reading →

Minutes to go .. Fill (your) Bucket List. Achieve (your) dreams.

Posted on March 29, 2013 by JJBollOX

I don’t like Lesley Carter. I decided somewhat irrationally.   Here is s a woman organising the decor of her own purpose-built house, raising a child – an infant no less and yet placing her, sufficient, energies into exploring the … Continue reading →

Lies, Lies and ………………………………………………………….. .

Posted on February 18, 2013 by JJBollOX

And the dots kept flowing. Really they did. Like a spook held down the key as I typed. This is a ‘what if’ post. What if you had one wish? How does the Eminem song go? What IF.., mine would … Continue reading →

A ‘Normal’ Life.

Posted on January 22, 2013 by JJBollOX

This is the start of what I would like to turn into a book. Isn’t that the same for all of us?  I will have my closer friends, those who have been witness to, shared a part in the stories … Continue reading →

Links to something

Posted on December 23, 2012 by JJBollOX

My last post, Positive social responsibility. (An update) was not, is not finished. It intended to convey that life is not over until I, we stop breathing. Whatever happens is effected by our perception as this short thought further explores? Links within … Continue reading →

Posted on December 16, 2012 by JJBollOX

Alfie? Nothing to do with Alfie at all. This was written in March. Problems formatting it mean that I have copied, pasted and edited a little bringing it here. This morning, like most, almost each and every, even all mornings … Continue reading →

Posted on December 16, 2012 by JJBollOX

And this is a long post. A good, no a great friend of mine just passed his 50th birthday. Just being relative of course as that was coming up to two years ago. He often comments on my not letting things get me down … Continue reading →

On the road to somewhere..

Posted on December 2, 2012 by JJBollOX

I worry when I write. Not overly yet a bit. I re-read. edit and re-read at a later date looking for faux pas. I do not want my writing to be word-perfect and I try to keep the language simple … Continue reading →

All New 2, too, to..

Posted on December 1, 2012 by JJBollOX

That is not a new style university degree. It’s a title aimed to provoke consideration of contrast in meaning. Semantics, politics, whatever floats your boat and influences you. This article is about you, them, all different and much more the … Continue reading →

Fuck it! Really!

Posted on November 17, 2012 by JJBollOX

I give up! How hard can it be? A Russian philosopher defined intelligence as ‘the ability to learn from instruction’. That, if we are about to discuss it, which we are not, does not necessarily mean complying. I am seriously … Continue reading →
