One Direction Concert Photos

As part of a rather late 12th birthday present Hannah went, with Deborah, to the National Exhibition Centre outside of Birmingham to see the latest boy band sensation One Direction. They are her favourite band of the moment , as Miley Cyrus was last year, and probably
One_Direction will be similarly redundant this time next year.

Sunday 14 April

Yesterday Nat went away for the weekend to The Scouts HQ in Blaby to take part in a leadership course. Whether we will ever have any inkling of what he did there will depend on whether we are able to corner him, when he arrives home, before he heads upstairs to his beloved X-Box. It’s certainly bad timing Vis-à-vis rugby because he’s away this weekend and the weekend after next and there will be rugby matches both weekends. In fact this weekend there were matches on both Saturday and Sunday. Hannah had Theatretrain this morning but I’ve had no chance to enquire as to whether anything unique or exciting happened there. I had a 1-2-1 tonight at work which went well and it seems that according to me statistics (metrics) I’m in 6^th place out of the 320 people working in the Leicester Call Centre so well done me … eh as my Canadian buddies on Twitter might say.

I’ve began reading Bertrand Russell’s “History of Western Philosophy” this evening and I must say that I’m enjoying it a great deal. It’s certainly got to be one of the main advantages of having an ereader, like my Kindle, that one can be simultaneously reading so many non-fiction books, dipping in and out as fancy takes one while being able to go back to a good novel when one is in need of a well deserved break; and talking of novels I’ve nearly finished rereading Peter F Hamilton’s first novel Mindstar Rising and I’d forgotten just how good a story it was with it’s depiction of a mid 21^st Century Britain post global warming. It was most certainly prescient stuff for a guy writing his first book in the early 1990’s before climate change was really on anyone’s agenda.

Stayin Awake Stayin Awake: The Zzzzz Gees

Oh My Sweet Lord what on earth is going on with me? I’ve worked nights since Nov 2004 and I’ve never fallen asleep during a shift until these last few weeks. Again tonight I’ve struggled to stay awake since 2AM and failed on numerous occasions to do so. I think using twitter was what enabled me to keep alert these last couple of years and now we don’t have access to this or any other social media just reading, either Kindle or online, isn’t cutting the mustard; after all, don’t people read in bed with a view to drifting off to sleep? Now I know my phone contract has ended when I contact T-Mobile tomorrow to cancel current arrangement I’m going to have to give thought to seeing if they can offer me a decent deal on a mifi dongle so that I can get on line at work via my Nexus 7 and once more tweet or chat with my virtual buddies.

Even while writing this I’ve had to take a break for a stretch and a yawn and this despite throwing cold water in my face less than 30 minutes ago. Dianne, in Florida, thinks I no longer want to talk to her but the truth is that even on my off days I’m now incredibly sleepy after midnight whereas before I could chat through the night into the early hours of the morning. Gonna have to go to bed Friday morning if I’m to have any hope of staying awake late enough to have a chat to her on Skype on Friday night.

Emailing: KCAC.jpg

The Kansas City Atheist Coalition was prevented from entering into and participating in the local St. Patrick's Day Parade this year. After the group applied, it received an email from the organizers of the parade, stating their denial was because,

“We are an Irish Catholic parade.”

This, in spite of the parade website stating that parade events are open to all, Irish or not, Catholic or not. The parade is privately run, so denying the group was not a violation of any laws. However, the group decided it would still be part of the community festivities by holding an 'Ask An Atheist' event.

Members of the group sported signs they made, and stood on a high-traffic corner to answer questions, hear complaints and even stand for payers offered by bystanders – showing that atheists are just as much a part of their community as everyone else.

Sarah Hargreaves, the KCAC President, stated,

“We just want to be treated the same as everyone else. There have been and are multiple organizations participating in the parade who do not explicitly line up with Catholic beliefs – the International House of Prayer and K-Love Radio being prime examples in the past. We want to engage in respectful and civil discussion about atheism while also bringing attention to the parade organizers’ discriminatory actions.”

According to a story filed by the Religion News Service, participants in last year's parade included the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, Bob Hamilton Plumbing, the Kansas City Sheltie Rescue, and Pepsi Beverages Co., which are all secular organizations.

The Kansas City Atheist Coalition's website states that their goal was to keep the signs 'light and friendly.' Some of the signs read:

“Why am I not in the parade? Ask me,”
"Kiss me I’m an Irish Atheist”
“Dear God, do leprechauns go to Heaven?”

The group also handed out small toy dinosaurs, dinosaur temporary tattoos and toy compasses to passing children for the purpose of promoting science.

Hargreaves said that some passers-by gave high-fives and fist-bumps, while others shouted “I believe in Jesus Christ!”

OMG I’ve Gotta Do Something to Stay Awake.

Oh well I've now discovered what the long term effect has been of withdrawing access at work to any and all social media or chat sites: I'm falling asleep!!! Yep, I'm becoming like my fellow team members and succumbing to the lure of The Sandman now I no longer have Twitter and sundry to keep my mind occupied on quiet nights.

It's really kicked in the last couple of shifts and I've found it almost impossible to stay awake. I've even fallen asleep when I've been sitting up straight trying my best not too so moment it put my head back and deliberately close my eyes, even for a second, I'm doomed to slip immediate into the arms of Morpheus.

It's weird because since 2004 when I started nights I've never, unlike others, gone to sleep at anytime during my shift but now, now the precedent has been set, I'm as bad as everyone else. The even weirder thing about doing this is that it doesn't seem to make one any less tired; no, on the contrary I'd say that, when I get home, I feel even more tired than I usually do. It seems that writing a blog entry like this one does appear to have a countervailing effect but if that's the case I'm gonna have to go back to writing nightly and having to think of something to write. It was hard enough before when I could write about the kid's activities but they have now reached those ages where I rarely get told was it is they have been up to. I'll have to quiz Nat for more details relating to his weeks work experience and Hannah about what she actually does at these Youth Council meetings she attends. It's also gonna be a struggle getting back into a routine of writing a thousand words cos this little narrative has stretched to a mere 321 in total… Unless, of course, I now decide to exercise my creative juices and simply write whatever comes into my head so as to stretch out this moderately wordy missive until I reach a certain n umber of words and can reclassify it as a rather wordy missive if not a lengthy one. Unfortunately, this project is somewhat hampered now as we have started taking calls and that interferes with ones chain of thought and just then lead me, additionally, to accidently terminate the caller as I was distracted by what I'd been trying to type. Oh well still managed to stretch this to a more acceptable 427 words.

Profound, Inane and Profane

Welcome to my muses profound, inane and oft-times profane.

This is an attempt by a 50 something almost middle-class white male to put his thoughts down on paper (electronic paper anyway) for the first time in his life.

Like many others I was put off writing as a child and always thought that it was something I couldn't do - and perhaps I can't.

What I do know is that I regret not having a record of my life that I can use as an aide memoir and what |I deeply regret is that I don't have a record of the kids early years.

You think you'll remember it all but it quickly becomes difficult to place events in their proper context, so

WELL, HERE GOES NUFFINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
