To being a reclusive hermit, away from humans. This has been going on for quite some time, especially since this last festive season. Many reasons though I constantly think…

When I can I do
If I can’t I try
When I’m empty I don’t

Through life I have very much been some kind of extrovert, I’m most certainly heading for the introvert. The relief when someone cancels a get-together that I would have cancelled anyway, it’s become a constant of trying to avoid folks.

It’s not giving in, it’s simply reeling in myself, for all my life I have blurted out and done daft stupid things, drives me nuts. Getting worse as I get older? certainly the anxiety is.

Meeting someone nice and understanding is just a dream now, I have numerous interests that I would love to share, where is she…?

You have probably noticed I’m into music, thought I would go through my instruments and gear.

I have had a few Gibson and Epiphone Les Paul’s through the years. I once had the Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop with the P90 pick ups, it sounded great but, the neck was a gloss finish, I could have sanded it but decided to sell it on instead.

Few years ago I got lucky and found this Gibson Goldtop, satin finish all round, very smooth neck. The body has no weight relief (full fat!) nice and heavy. It is the Tribute to the Standard.

As you can see this guitar goes through a Orange solid state amp, built-in dirty distortion through the 8″ speaker and at 30 watts it growls, this I control through the pick-up toggle switch and volume control knobs. I simply use a TC Electronic Echobrain delay pedal and use 10- 46 Gibson strings.

I reckon it has a fantastic late 1960’s to early mid 1970’s raw sound, I’m nowhere near how I use to be as a lead guitarist, it’s a fingers thing! I’ll do videos later of my performing, to join in with these posts.

I started this trainset during lockdown, I had to do something as my head was caving far more than usual, I think a very many of folks had undue suffering during the Covid time.

I have a couple of videos, will load onto YouTube then on here. I can load videos direct though I hope to show the video’s through YouTube, I will also work out how to edit them?!

Do keep checking back, regular updates will be happening on this site. It’s amazing that I’m about 20 year’s old – well, this site! Ah, that was quick, YouTube getting easier!

I have a broken toe, fracture probably. To start with a photo…

The background is the car MOT which crawled through yesterday! It is 20 years old, it keeps me going, about 1200 miles per year. So here it is…

Just a short song from quite some time ago that I had forgotten about.

There is only Me, Myself and I, erm…

The other night, I got home then went to bed, next thing I knew some bloke had followed me, I tried punching him, tried harder then ran up the stairs, he followed, I turned round and started to kick as hard as possible, I grabbed the banister and launched with both feet and ended on the floor. I dont have stairs so climbed back into bed.

You know, someone local, he seems to deliberately wind me up and enjoy it. A few times he has stood next to me then starts harping on about small issues he finds terribly problematic while touring Europe in his van for most of the year.

I do move a way from him, he once followed me to a table when I did not want to speak with him, I ended up annoyingly and loud telling him to fuck off. The other night he came and stood next to me, stupid me just stood there until I had to tell him loudly again to fuck off and not to talk to me ever again.

Why do these folks do this? Its like they enjoy agitating people? They are Cunts.

It says.

Well I renewed my site for another three years after coming very close to letting it go. Almost 20 years of content, some funny, some quizzes, some music, poems, writing, almost everything about my life, from the deepest lows to some very nice peaks.

I still cant be arsed.
