Some days, I can't seem to move, or speak, or even think without pissing off someone. But up until this point, I have never considered thinking of locking down this blog to friends only.

When I write something, this is how I feel inside about the thing I am writing about. If someone is behaving like a dick, I tell people on my blog that such-and-such is behaving like a dick. If I believe that a whole country full of people are behaving like dicks, I state this and all.

Actually, there are days when I think to myself "To blazes with evolution. Fuck the whole damned human species to extinction!" - and those are the days that I get trolled by people who seem to take it personally that I just wished that all their dreams should come undone.

But I have never been afraid to put something up on my blog for fear that it would cost me my f'list. Otherwise, I'd have nothing to say - and my f'list would just dissolve anyway.

I have a friends only filter on my blog. In fact, I have several different filters, for various circles. For a year, I can't recall actually writing anything on or in any of those filters. Everything that I have written has been out here in the open for all of you to see. And I mean all of you. Not necessarily because I want you all to see it, but sometimes because I want myself to remember it later on.

I'm sorry if some of the words I have said in my previous post have pissed some of you off, and I would be really sorry if you unfriended me as a result. But you'll note that the very worst things you have said to me, the harshest criticisms, I have left on my blog for me to come back to, when I get too full of myself.

I don't shy away from my own words. Or those of others. I'm only trying to figure out where I put a foot wrong, so I can refine my dance steps later.

It doesn't stop me wanting to dance, and it won't stop me wanting to try out some risky dance move I am trying to invent.

Sure, I can be arrogant, egotistical, jaded, judgmental, ambitious and opportunistic. But bear in mind that I'm also creative. I'm unflinching. I am not easily surprised. As much as I crave attention, I also pay attention.

And that I am aware that I am most of all unique, and like any snowflake I am mortal and doomed to melt away into nothing some day soon, just like so many people I know who have already discovered what lies beyond The Grey Door.

And if you all knew this simple fact, could face the simple fact that we're all dying and we've got to stop chasing after life and just live, you'd all be creative and unique, too. Even if it does mean getting on people's nerves.

I'm staying open. And I'm reinforcing the default that non-friends get screened.

I'm also going to make use of the "comments disabled" function, too, for some of my posts. See below.

I think ...

... that I still have most of my skin intact.

... that I will like it there in the Glyndwr College library.

... that I really should try to find my spot in that building, and once I'm there, get to it with writing.

... that I really need to get that fitness regime up and running, even if I have to bloody pay for it myself.

... that I shall call this Alumni Association manager tomorrow morning to make sure I really don't have to pay more for it than I have to.

... that I will probably be heading back to Glyndwr college tomorrow afternoon, but only after getting my 2000AD first.

... that I'll have to get this TV retuned for the folks first.

... that TV retuning's a waste of time and effort because it still won't erase Simon Cowell off the screen, or give Holly Willoughby a personality, or make ITV watchable, or give brain cells to the cretins who took Primeval off the screens, or ...

... that my trip to Chester tomorrow is banjaxed by this need to retune the bloody TV;

... that I need to get to bed now;

... that overall, I had a good day today.
