Hello people of blog land. How are we all? Long time no blog, eh? I suppose you want reasons? Have I been in jail? Have I been busy releasing terrorists into the wild? Have I become one of those annoying people that ask too many questions?
Well, you will just have to wait until my next blog to find out what I’ve been up to. Not because I’m being an international man of mystery. No, it’s because I have pictures to share. Shiny pictures of exotic holidays, and I’m writing this in work. Yes, in work. I love a bit of social notworking.
So, I’ve managed to try and sporadically take a shufty at all your blogs. But, I’ve sometimes not had time to comment. For that, I will flog myself.
Now there’s a pastime that never really took off. They should have made it more appealing. You know what I mean? For every shot at another mans wife, take four smacks to the feet, and two whips to the back. Then, all is forgiven. Sweet, sweet, sin.
I remember when I started this blog. I had it in my head that I’d update frequently, and share my wee life with the world. But, the life that I was going to discuss, kind of got in the way of me discussing it. Does that even make sense? Well, it did in my head. I guess the road to somewhere is paved with good intentions. If you ever find out where that road leads, let me know.
When I’ve not been getting up to mysterious mischief, I’ve mostly been on the road. Selling, buying, and hotels have been my life for the last month or so. And it sucks, big time. So much so, I’ve actually made a real effort to apply for other jobs. Here are some of the jobs I’ve wanted to do, but they wouldn’t have me.
No1. Games tester – Very low paid, but extremely rewarding. I applied to Rock star in Edinburgh. They never answered me back. Top tip if you’re applying to them. Don’t mention you thought Grand theft auto helped you with your killing skills.
No2. Community warden – I got it into my head that I could get paid for being a vigilante. You’re not welcome in the job if you want to carry out systematic beatings of young hooligans, or so they claim.
No3. Wedding singer – Apparently cradle of filth does not make for a happy wedding day. Go figure.
No4. Porn star – Lost out on this cushy number because I turned up for the interview too early….If you know what I mean.
No5. Prime minister of the United Kingdom – I was knocked back for the job because I’m catholic. The Act of Settlement won’t allow it apparently. And there was me thinking I lived in a religious tolerant society. Ha!
So, after all my efforts, I’m still stuck in the same cruddy job. I have to take it on the chin when my boss pays everybody a bonus, apart from me. I have to use my own car/petrol when I’m going to a meeting. And, I’m paid less than everybody else.
To combat this serious injustice, I’ve joined a union, and I’m selling my car, and buying a Vespa. I shall not be allowed on the motorway with a moped, so that kind of sticks it to the man, eh? No more being sent to England for me. Although, looking like a prized tool is a side effect of my rebellion. But, I can take it. I’ve looked the fool on many occasions, so why should work be any different.
Well, that’s all for now folks. It’s great to be back, and hopefully I’ll be a regular blogger again if I can dodge work successfully.
So, I’ll leave you with the same question that I asked in the title:
“Who was that sheep I saw you with last night?”

About Me

- marky
- I live in a Pigeon loft in Glasgow. I fight dogs for food and mug cows for drink. Monkeys live in my beard. I have lived for centuries under my bed and only came out when they invented peanut m&m's. I understand everything.

Well, I'm just the shepherd boy...
You're funny! Too bad about the jobs 'cause I think you'd be perfect at all of them... haha ;)
I'm glad you updated between flogs to yourself and the numerous job interviews, your sense of humor is sublime. :)
What's a Vespa?
Hey Krista, I thought I'd be perfect for them too!
It'll need to be world domination I suppose. I've been buying up tins of hairspray, and I'm hatching a plane to destroy the ozone layer unless five million bags of peanut M&M's are delivered to my lair.
Paula, I've been up all night flogging. It's not what it's cracked up to be. Did you see what I did there? Cracked? As in cracking the whip? I'll get my coat.
This is what a Vespa is: http://www.westlondonscooters.co.uk/contents/media/Vespa%20GTS300%20montebianco%2009.jpg
It's a bit like a hairdryer with wheels. It was made famous by the Mod movement, and Italian transexuals.
"social notworking." That's hilarious. Ah, friend, that sucks about the job. Good luck with everything, especially the Vespa.
You know, if you had a massive beard in your profile pic you'd look like Pat Rothfuss there.
Welcome back...
Hey, dude. Acht, a job’s a job, and all that. I'm lucky to have one in this climate. It'll only get to me if I let it....And they'll never break me!
I could never get my beard to Pat's length. I couldn't live with the scruffy period before it went all Terry Pratchet. I'll stick to my Barry Gibb style.
Do you like the pic? It took me two minutes, and it’s an ode to Mistborn. Which is a cracking book, by the way. Cheers for that. As you can see, I'm burning tin like a crazy man in it.;-)
The picture looks good. I remember after finishing Mistborn that I pretended that I could burn metals. I'd tell somebody something like, "If I could just burn some tin then I could see that up there" or something. Then I'd get that awkward feeling and that strange stare.
Glad you liked those books.
Glad you're loving Mistborn!!! Sanderson is totally my all time favorite! Man, what I wouldn't give to be able to burn metals!! ;-)
I agree, cool picture!
Hey, you're not THAT catholic!
I say go for Prime Minister.
The Vespa was also made famous by Audrey Hepburn. But that WAS in Italy now that I think of it.
In response to "Who was that sheep I saw you with last night?" I say.
You can also get wool from them!
Hahah, I kill me. So sorry for using three comments. You will look either popular or stalked. Maybe both!
Sedulo...I've got the cold.*sniff*
And it's not just your run of the mill cold, it's a man cold...*sniff*
I need soup...*sniff*
Thanks for cheering me up! I never thought about getting wool from a sheep! In Aberdeen, they rope a couple of sheep to a streetlight, and call it leisure centre.
I'm going to curl up on my sofa, and finish reading the Strain. A brilliant read so far. Thanks for the recommendation! I'll give you a full report when I'm finished…..*sniff*
No football for me today….*sniff, sniff*
You've a good sense of humor. You definitely need to blog more. :) Give the proles what they want!
Kristopher A. Denby, welcome to ma hoose!
It's nice to meet you, and I'll try and update soon.....Note the lack of promising.;-)
Marky! You're killing me here! You need to update soon! Just hit "new post" and ramble for a while... you don't even need a topic! Just go, man, go!
Heeeeeeeey MArky:
Are you still alive? I sent you e-mails for awhile and don't know if you have dropped out of cyberspace?
