Where is GJ?

By Friends & Family, The Web2 Comments

GJ disapeared off my Facebook friends list a few weeks ago now. When I tried to ring him (to see if he fancied the cinemas), no answer. In the end I had to ring an ex-partner and ask him to pass my number over facebook to GJ. I thought that GJ may have lost his phone and facebook had played up and deleted me, but this wasn’t the case. He had read I have a date on Saturday and had felt jealous. He told me when he eventually texted me that he didn’t want to read more. My response: Well it’s your choice to read my blog.

Sound harsh? I have often blogged about my blog being a creative outlet and allowing me to express how I feel about things. I can’t and won’t start censoring what I write to please or not upset people. GJ and I have a very complex history and relationship.

The basics are that we have tried dating and being in a relationship several times and it doesn’t work. We end up falling out and not talking for months. I hate not having him in my life so we decided to remain friends always.

When I realised that he had choose to delete me on facebook as a friend and choose not to answer my calls and texts it hurt. I had relied on him to always be there for me. Is that wrong? I mean after all he has no responsibility or obligation towards me. And if he met someone I’d be a little jealous that he’d have less time for me, but if the guy made him happy, I’d be happy for him. Sigh.

We got talking again and I invited him to mine for a gathering of some of my closest friends. He barely spoke to them, sat there with his arms folded and left early. He always seems to want more than friendship. One thing I know for definitate: is that it hasn’t worked in the past and therefore the probability of it working if we attempted it again is low. Besides which a good friend of mine always says “Move on to pastures new. There’s a reason it didn’t work.”

I reflected on the experience and to be honest, after his performance the other night and the fact that I actually like being single (selfishly I don’t have to consider anyone else) I am more than happy with a friendship with GJ. I simply wish that’s all that he wanted.

How can I handle this situation? Any advice or answers on a postcard please, or better yet: post a comment.

A Visit to Simon’s

By Friends & Family, Life, Music & RadioNo Comments

This evening I have been to visit my good friend Simon. I am glad to see he is well and I got the opportunity to give him some TLC. Whilst there I found this interesting article: http://www.virginmedia.com/music/news/weekinmusic/080919.php

"Amy and Madonna get LEGO makeover

Amy and Madonna get LEGO makeover

LEGO has celebrated the 30th anniversary of its minifigures by commissioning mock-ups of stars including Amy Winehouse (left), Madonna (right) and Cliff Richard. Sadly the figures aren’t set to go into production – alongside the likes of Jacko, Lennon and Elvis – but it’s one step closer to LEGO immortality for Winehouse and co."

I always had lego from being a small child. It’s nice to know even with all the computer consoles on the market, that lego is still part of most children’s childhood. It develops so many skills in children including:

  • Physical Development – Fine motor skills including the pincer grip.
  • Creative Development – Develops imagination.
  • Social Development – Develops skills in sharing and negociation.
  • Cognitive Development – Develops problem solving skills.
  • Emotional Development – It helps children express their emotions.

I often wonder what skills the computer consoles develop and if they have the same dramatic influence on development as these physical toys?

But I have wondered off the point… Back to my visit with Simon.

We had a good catch up, over a brew. Then as I was leaving I couldn’t spot the candle I had made him last year as a Halloween present. I asked him where it was and he stated that he had accidently burn’t it, having another one quite simliar to it. I had given it to him with the expressed permission that he wouldn’t burn it as it was the first candle I had ever made. But him, being a dists he did. I had to laugh, it’s a Simon(ism).

This was the candle in question:

Simon hasn’t been well recently. He stated that he had burn’t it and afterwards started to feel and get much better. I had charged it with some lovely energy. So although I would never say that it was because of something I did, he got better. The energy may have had a positive influence in the process.

Overall it was nice to see him, especially with him looking so well. He really was on top form. We both need to make more of an effort to see each other more.

Take Care,

Antony
