3251 - Pushing

I'm loving life, I'm in complete control
It may not always show, I'm a loner
I have a few friends and family, not all
Have that, especially those who live on the
Social media in substitution for
Real life, and who have little that they can
When push comes to shove, genuinely offer
Anything of value to other men
(And women.) You could argue with this plan
I like to have fun, I am not a troll
I like everyone happy, like to share
Happiness, and not deprive anyone
I was brought up that way, respect to all
Have a great life, even though it's not fair

2988 - Good times (things are working out fine)

I feel nicely energised nowadays
No poisons in my bloodstream, I'm all clean
I try to eat well and get exercise
My evenings are a long, productive scene
And day and night, a sense of well-being
I value things now that once were tainted
That once were unattractive, dull and mean
Like, eating, cleaning, much more devoted
Time for creative work - it's resulted
In all things at work and home in a phase
Of being well on track. Time somehow seems
Superabundant, greatly expanded
And I feel happier, in control of days
Not in a daze now, my senses are keen

2540 - A Hulmerist's breakfast

Carrying on from yesterday's entry
(The one I just wrote!) though my sleep was short
I had a lovely morning with Nicky
(If I can call her that, in rhyming sport)
Tom, Anna and Paul were there, then they walked
Off homewards, leaving just us two to go
For breakfast, also drank coffee and talked
Walked home in the rain, but I just had no
Energy to do my job research, so
Went to Vee's to watch football with Louis
Where we had a good time eating a bought
Curry, which really filled me through and through
A vindaloo, with egg mushroom rice, the
Perfect meal to end a nice day, I thought

2507 - Happy chappy

Day off after a late night late last night
Watched three transmissions of Jeremy Kyle
Also Come Dine With Me, and '78
TOTP, Kid Jensen had such style
(Not). Also wielded guitar like a pile-
driver, getting seriously good these days
Can't wait to one day shock them as I dial
G for Guitar, play live, and earn real praise
Much to the chagrin of my enemies
Who else can do comedy, music, write
Play, sing, act, be interesting all the while
Just as themself, and also have the keys
Of general knowledge? I don't brag, but might
Just allow myself this one pat and smile

2389 - New chair

The new chair has been put together well
I'm sitting on it now, oh yes, so there
Staples put it together, I can tell
Cos I tried and failed, and I just can't bear
Self-assembly shit, it's for losers. There
Are people who are good at it, so pay
Five quid and they'll do it, no turn of hair
It's red and minimalist, and I say
It looks good and feels good, it feels like play
You can revolve in it, and you can wheel
Across the floor, can glide from here to there
Mobility is the key, you don't stay
In a rigid wooden structure, a cell
You're liberated, here, there, everywhere

2172 - Hungry but happy

Hey, days off work are great, like retirement
Come early, when you're still younger and fit
Because I've still got a lot of leave left
I can take two days off a week til it
Gets too autumnal, darkness and that shit
Today I read 'The Corrections' and wrote
Some new song lyrics, continuing to hit
That road in a new direction, the road
To happiness, and we must not forget
It's the journey that counts with contentment
Not the arrival. Cliche, hit the spot!
It's a wonderful life, and you can't tempt
Me with religion, disillusionment
With life's definitely not where it's at!
