My electronic organizer



Before I went to North Carolina in 1997. My father gave me this. Its one of those things don't make any more . It was a calculator and electronic address book. Someone sold it to my father for 5 notes. A man on a building site He gave it to me, to use in America. I had a few numbers in here. Ms Wal, Statesville, and Miss Bennett. I think I had one or two my Glasgae alums on it too.

I went to the shops today to see if I could find a battery for it. I did, but perhaps the circuts have burned out. It would not work. I was wondering to see what secrets it held. Alas I will never know. I wonder if anyone else has one. They were cheap and off brand. The sort of things that would get thrown in a bin I wonder if it the last in the world.

A little treasure of mine

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment.

It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
