I'm not the man you think I am...I am a poor freezingly cold soul...I have just discovered that prudence never pays. Now, we must wait for the right time

Mr Brushton and the amazing fox

03:28 PM

I was reminded this morning, for one reason or another, of a rather sickening sight that I saw whilst travelling into work on Sunday - the sight of a dead fox on the side of the motorway. Why I was reminded of this event, I have no idea, as I hadn't seen a fox, or any wildlife creature for that matter (besides a few "humans").

It got me thinking 'Why?' Why do we kill such animals? I mean, this was most likely an accident - a fox crossing a road where the speed limit is 70mph is bound to have some risk - but those fox hunters truly do sicken me. What fun can one extract from seeing a terrified creature being chased for its' life? It wouldn't be that if elephants were more mobile - the bastards wouldn't be laughing then.

Anyway, the moral of the story is, don't kill animals. It's not right. Unless it's a savage squirrel or something.

I actually had my first true experience of spam today on my old e-mail. Apparently, I am paying too much for my car (sorry, it was "Auto" - damn Americans) insurance. This is despite the fact that I don't drive a car, have never taken a driving lesson in my life, and do not live in the United States (yet).

I picked up one of the old rags today to be amazed to see the headline "3am - Robbie Savaged". Thinking that EMI had finally came to their senses and axed Robbie "Let Me Entertain You" Williams, I was most disappointed to learn that it was only that ugly bloke from Eastenders being written out of the storyline. I hate television.

I wore my "Meat is Murder" t-shirt today (shock horror!), and only went to one class, between 9am and 10am. I went home and did some work though. Honest, mum.

Another little ditty I concocted:

Seeing things going places
Living out of suitcases
Every day's like a dream
I find myself talking to shadows
Taking the train of youth back home again

Cos I don't want to be a hero
But I don't want to be a zero

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got

Seeing things going places
Meeting all kinds of faces
Every day's like a scene
I find myself going through phases
Trying to find somewhere where I can be me

Cos I don't want to be your hero
But I don't want to be a zero

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
Cos I don't want to leave it all behind

So come on, give in, there's no beauty to this pain
So come on, connect, we've got to find ourselves again

Cos I don't want to be your hero

And I don't want to sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got
I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside your mind
Cos I don't want to leave it all behind

  • You're not a zero. As far as the hero part? they have to wear tights and capes. I wouldn't be going for that either.

    Forgive me- I'm thinking in the literal sense again.

    I quite liked the entry :)
