It shouldn’t be necessary to write this, but following recent actions I feel the need to say a few words.
THIS IS MY JOURNAL
This is my life. This is a summary of what goes on in my life. This journal acts as a sounding board and will often contain direct, unedited rants and explosive opinions on any topic that has effected me. This journal receives direct insults, nasty comments, abuse and negativity. Why? So that the person or cause does not get this rant and abuse in their face, it goes off here instead. When I want to nuke a country or floor a person, or turn a human being inside out, it happens here instead of me doing it to them directly. This works.
THIS IS MY HEAD
When you walk in here you do so at your own risk. My friends may get invited here. This is a privileged. I either invite you here because I trust you and wish to share my views with you. I may invite you because a certain part is relevant. I may allow you in here upon your request. I may let you in purely because I don’t have a reason to keep you out.
My views exist. They exist here I their purest form, but if you ask me face to face “what are your views on…” then you invite that pure form there and then. I may not often share my direct thoughts with you upon my choice, but if you ask to hear them, then expect to get what you ask for.
WARNING
If you don’t want to hear my views then don’t ask for them. If you don’t want to know my opinions, then don’t come in here and read them. If you come in here, read something you’re not happy with, do not expect any sympathy from me, when you say you don’t like what I have written. If “I” call you an arsehole in here then that is my opinion. You may not be one, but at the time of writing that entry, I may have thought so. I must have thought so to write it. It is irrelevant.
FACT
My thoughts are my own. They are the one thing allowed within the UK that you are entitled to have and keep to yourself. As above, if you ask for my thoughts you will get them. If you don’[t like what you hear don’t ask for it in the first place. By entering this journal, you have asked to read my thoughts. Accept it and deal with it.
SURROUNDINGS
I exist on the planet Earth! I act, react, mingle and interact with those people and things around me. Expect to read about those happenings in here from time to time. Events happen. I cycle to work and cycle home each day, this will unlikely make it to headline news, but other events, happenings and things will reach this journal and will get written about.
I keep records of things. In the past this has benefited me more times than it has not. If I wish to recall what day I met “Scott” on, I can look back and place my actions here there and wherever on that date as I made a note of it.
I work. I go to work and mix with people. I have bad days and good days. These events will make it here. I accept a certain amount of responsibility for privacy on others parts. If I talk about someone that people around me are likely to know, I will not use a name. More often than not I will use simply a first name or maybe an initial. This is my journal. Three people in the US, 1 in Belgium and around 5 in the UK read it.
My views remain the same no matter what. These are my views. You may think you are a controlling dictatorial state, but you are mistaken. My views entered here are the views of me; not the views of the County, the state, the local council or any company I work for, they are my views.
FINAL WORD
If you have that much of a problem in this journal, why the hell have you kept reading to get to this point. If you continue to feel you have a problem, look within yourself and ask why?
Your solution lies in a small cross at the top right hand corner of the screen, I suggest you hit it now.
Those of you still here, friends, colleagues, visitors, random curious people, historians, psychologists my personal counsellor and any random pets that may have wandered in; feel free to stay.
