And to think I could have been a goalkeeper!
Life is a funny old game, and bloody painful at times, and I often wonder what the point of it is! Perhaps we are all chess pieces in some twisted overlords game! I can imagine a few people sitting up on high laughing at our daily misfortunes!
My own life has been full of twists and turns, and many changes of direction. I was once a goalkeeper and passed a trial to play for Gillingham in the football league, but failed the medical required for an apprentice contract because I apparently had "dodgy knees" which would not have survived professional training!
I then went on to boxing, survived even harder training - but decided to become a pop musician and go on tour instead of turning pro as the next "great white heavyweight hope!" Far less painful believe me!
I often look back and wonder what life may have dealt me as a footballer or a boxer lol!
Now, I am at that point in my life where I know another big change of direction is coming, but I really don't know which of several ideas and projects will prove to be my own way forward. I am particularly keen to return to full time education and study for a law degree, but this will be very expensive and dependent on me getting the necessary grant. I have always enjoyed seeing how law works (or doesn't as the case often appears!) and spent two years of my life working in a lawyers office as he was one of the partners in a business I ran some years ago, and I learned quite a bit whilst there!
Interesting and possibly confusing times ahead!
