1. Do you have a favorite piece of poetry or prose written by someone else? Care to share it? I do, unfortunately I can't find it. Someone gave it to me after my first wife died. I was going to post it in 9-11 because it's kind of appropriate.
2. In High School, did you enjoy creative writing? Do you currently do any other writing in addition to your Blog? No and No. I'm not what you'd call a creative person.
3. Have you ever noticed that the Blog entries you least expect to get the most comments do, and those you expect to generate a lot of feedback don't? Which Blog entry of yours surprised you by getting a lot of comments? Which one did you think would generate a lot but didn't? I don't get enough visitors to the site to generate "lots" of comments but I was disappointed when no-one picked up on The Game.
4. Sometimes you get a chance to make a lifestyle change that has a huge impact on the course your life takes. That is, a moment where something became very clear to you, and that realization changed your life, such as: the need to leave a relationship, to stop an addiction, to bond with someone, to start a new career, and so on. Have you ever had an "awakening" moment in your life? Yes I've had at least one of those but I don't feel up to talking about it right now.
5. Then there are other times where you can have a huge impact on someone else's life. You suggest they see a doctor, stop them from taking that last drink, or maybe just say some kind words at the moment. Have you made a lasting positive impact on the life of someone else? I once took someone onto my team at work when her previous manager had been about to give her the sack. I placed her with someone I knew would mentor her and the two of us helped her develop her skills and confidence. I recently heard she has been promoted twice since I left.
6. Are there any charities or organizations which you support? How did you come to be involved with them? I support Compton Hospice who help care for the terminally in Wolverhampton. My first wife spent some time their before she died. I don't do as much as I should to support them to be honest.
7. Care to collaborate with me? Help me out and write the rest of this poem:
I drifted though a dream last night,
visions full of colors bright.
My thoughts began to drift to you,
and in an instant we were two.
I touched your hand,
We began to blend,
Filled with a feeling
that should have no end.
Erm......
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm schizophrenic,
and so am I.
BONUS: Hey cutie, what's up with this attitude? I'm not feeling too good. OK?
