Four Weddings and a Funeral?


Most would know that this is the title of movie with the famous opening lines “Fuck it”, but today sees that I am invited to a wedding next Sunday as the bride to be is in the family way. One of my brother’s is also set to tie the knot this May and another if he ever gets around to planning it. So that means this year two out of three are confirmed with the other looming. As it is early in the year there may be another. So if the title is to hold true, where is the funeral?

Anyway I was wondering if my choice of outfit would be suitable as it seems I am going to have ample occasion to wear it this year.

News Flash


Sources today revealed that John Wayne Bobbit’s micro surgery has failed. Although it doctor’s tried for many years to save his appendage, constant exercising of said appendage led to it structural failure of the attachment point and buried by the family dog. When rediscovered it was too late for doctors to do anything. Lorena (John’s former wife) provided a memorial as an act of reconciliation to John for her actions in 1993.

Balloons and Cake

Why separate them when you can have both at once?

The finger of accusation never looks pretty.

R.I.P. Yesterday



There are issues that you have dealt with in the past that seem to reappear for you to have to deal with them time and again. Toward the end of last year I had one and again yesterday. Both matters I dealt with in my own way and with I thought was honor and respect. Yesterday I was brought back to a situation that I had thought a closed chapter in my life and was summoned back into it because of actions others had taken and drew me into. I had not asked for it, but was privy to private information that I should never had seen. To my own detriment I made the originator aware that I had seen it and another implicated party. I did so to deal with the matter without doing so behind anyone’s back and to give a platform for me to object to the information I received.

I respect that the originator of the information was betrayed in confidence but could not disrespect them by not informing them that I had knowledge of it. As it involved another, I made them aware of the letter and my reply to it. In the letter I objected to reference of another and myself being involved in a matter that had happened over a year ago and brining it to relevance to a recent occurrence, especially as it had no relation to the topic in question. I defended the other mentioned with me as information about them was being given freely to the recipient of the letter, Information that had no relevance and off topic. Even if it was, as claimed by the originator, public knowledge it had no relevance in being repeated and was an assumption on the behalf of the originator that the recipient knew. To me it was akin to slander.

All of which has put me in bad tidings with the other I have mentioned for drawing them back to the issue and giving them ample reason to think that the matter, dealt with over a year ago, was never dealt with at all. I respect that all parties have reason to be hurt because of my actions but I was caught between saying nothing and being deceitful or doing something and making the originator aware of my objections and the recipient aware that I did not agree with their confidence betrayal. The matter between the originator and the recipient is closed but with the other has ended tragically.

To that person I can only say that I dealt with what I had received because you are dear to me and took objection to the slander implied on your character. If my objections and manner in which I have dealt with anything have caused offence to you, I can only publicly give you my most sincerest of apologies.

Chronicles of Frodo (Week in Review)




It has been an interesting week living in the land of the giants. I don’t know anything about them till my little world turned upside down. Because Mum and Dad used to avoid them I thought they were scary creatures. I find now that they are quite interesting. They seem to get around a lot in boxes on wheels and have a magic box they get their food out of instead of hunting. They gave me a collar with a little bell that slips around my waste like a belt. They know quite a few tricks too like how to make fleas disappear (thank goodness because they were itchy). The giant that got me out of the canal fusses over me. I have trained him well because he feeds me every two hours and plays with me a lot. I have gotten a lot of energy back and he seems to have noticed because he is showing me more of his world. I will keep you all informed as to what else I find out.

Now this is a weird thing to happen but nearly every time I have family member pass away I see a bird at the house, near or at the time of their deaths. Yesterday I was looking in my back yard at a bird I had never seen before on the washing line looking at me. At the time I took a picture of it as it was an unusual bird. I got a call tonight to tell to inform me that a cousin that I had never met had died at the tender age of 34. She died of cancer and I remembered the bird. Like I said, every time there is a passing I have bird do something unusual or is unusual. I have no idea what kind of bird this is as I have never seen one like it before.
