In between cups of coffee, biscuits and badly cooked meals I have been pouring out an unrelenting stream of words on various sites and thankfully getting back some good feedback. I\\&#8217;ve got in contact with people I had not seen for an age (this seems to be something characterising my third decade) and I have discovered that my mind is thankfully still as sharp as it was when I was twenty. Who would have thought that it would escape becoming blunt after doing so many hours at the grindstone for a minimum wage? Christ, it brings the money in but it doesn\\&#8217;t do much for the soul. The great thing about these sites I\\&#8217;ve found is that there are a whole host of people out there who are talented and willing to listen &#8212; half the problem you usually find is that the talented people who have got where they need to be have pulled the ladder up behind them.<br \/>\nI\\&#8217;ve felt like I\\&#8217;ve been leaping upwards trying to grab onto the bottom rung for so long and then I woke up and realised that they can keep their fucking ladder; they can shove it up their arse and I hope that it plays hell with their piles. I\\&#8217;m building my own ladder a rung at a time. Hey, you can read this and think why is he bothering, but you haven\\&#8217;t seen anything yet. If you keep watching I promise I\\&#8217;ll be going somewhere &#8212; even if it\\&#8217;s downwards, to the elephant\\&#8217;s graveyards where glorious failures and fuck-ups alike end up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nNow playing: <a title=\\\"\\'Mercury Rev - Chasing a Bee\\' - open on FoxyTunes Planet\\\" href=\\\"http:\/\/www.foxytunes.com\/artist\/mercury+rev\/track\/chasing+a+bee\\\">Mercury Rev &#8211; Chasing a Bee<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\\\"color:#999999;font-style:italic;font-size:10px;\\\">via <a title=\\\"FoxyTunes - Web of music at your fingertips\\\" href=\\\"http:\/\/www.foxytunes.com\/signatunes\/\\\">FoxyTunes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have only recently gained access to the net on a full-time basis and I have become tireless on the wireless.
