The Anti Arty Farty Party …thoughts of an Ageing Hippy Highlander

Things…

I’ve been having a good wander round the blogosphere, as they call it, and I’ve noticed that people seem to be fascinated with “100 things” type posts.

Now really I think this kind of thing is utterly pointless and just a little Arty Farty but I thought that some of them were quite entertaining.

So I’ve decided to take a different approach and set up a dynamic “Things” list. I’m not going to set myself the task of completing 100 things as that smacks too much of lines at school and conversely I’m not going to limit my list to 100 things.

So let me know if your list is anywhere close to mine…

Things I Love…

• My Family
• Me
• Our Dog — Yay! Willie!

• Politicians, all of them

• That I fucked up at University
• That I worked my guts out during my 30s & 40s chasing the illusion that is “career”. I missed a lot of my childrens’ childhoods as I was working to “better their lives”. It’s a con.
• Not much else
