Many "impor...That was a very interesting post. Many "important" people are trying to figure out why some of us are the way we are. There are no real answers I am starting to believe. I don't feel normal without opiates. Thru age, I have just chosen legal medication. I listen to my body. It knows what and how much it needs. I work, pay my rent and raise my almost grown son. I agree with Madame X. Whatever path we choose, in the end, does it matter?

I keep meaning to write further on the Nilsen subject but never manage to do it.

How strange...Now the last post has 100 comments...<br /><br />How strange that you apologise for the lack of tragedy and despair!<br />I'm sure that's not why people come on here. It's just the quality of the writing.<br /><br />I keep forgetting I came originally for Tales of a Serial Killer's Victim's Son... <br /><br />Yes re:the emails. It doesn't do to think too much about the unfairness of it all. You'd just become, well, a serial killer.If only they'd use their expertise to kill the right ones - like bankers!<br /><br />I don't understand why there wasn't some sort of revolution after all the banking crap/politicians expenses crap etc.<br /><br />You wonder what it will take for people to wake up and see how they're being conned.

Thanks as ever for your time and comme...Hiya Ruth,<br /><br />Thanks as ever for your time and comment.<br /><br />Oh, I don't blame you for privately educating your children I'd do the same if I was ever unlucky enough to have any! ;) Because in pulic schools (most not all) it's not just the kids and their famlilies with problems... the teachers are even worse. They come from the same place and are so poorly rewarded for their efforts that all there is for them is despair also. It's hard to teach in those conditions and even harder to take any satisfaction from it when the majority of kids drop out or leave to very bleak futures. Most of my teachers had some terrible personal hangup or other... one committed suicide in the sports gym. (I think it was my fault, lol)<br /><br />Of course, no matter where we are from or what has passed we can still help or try to better ourselves. But that is also a skill and something we pick up in our formative years.<br /><br />And when I talk about failure, I do not just refer to drop-outs. For me it's also a failure to end up working a factory job all your life, or shovelling bricks for a living. It doesn't have to be like that... there must be more. That's aa much a waste of life as the one of drug or alcohol addiction.<br /><br />You say you travelled the world and had success doing (hair). That's wonderful and it's that which people lack. Many would be satisfied to work the same salon, making the same cuts, year in year out for a pittance of pay. It's not a success... it's a waste. When that's your life until death, how can anyone blame someone for turning to an escape? <br /><br />But it's not all depressing... there's some hope (I think!!!) I'm just not quite sure where. To talk of political changes is such a huge thing and not for here.<br /><br />Really the post was just explaining another purpose I try to serve with the tales on Memoires... my thoughts as I decide what it is I will post. <br /><br />Ok, I'll leave it there... and if i jump off a building I'll remember to put a rope in my pocket (satisfied?).<br /><br />I hope you and the family are all well... it sounds like it.<br /><br />All My Love, Shane. xMemoirs of a Heroinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401281805284793756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-21596390974849057632009-12-09T16:52:45.172+01:002009-12-09T16:52:45.172+01:00Just saying yo, my brother.

Dont go jumping off...Hi Shane I hope all is well .. Dont go jumping off any fucking buildings please.. think of the mess!<br />You are so right .. there are a lot of factors that effect the growth of a personality and where you end up in life. I am originally from Liverpool, hated the school, catholicism drummed in daily.. I never went ... have been extremely lucky throughout my life .. left school young 15, but found something I was good at and enabled me to travel ( Hair) .. When I moved to Wales I was shocked by the innocence of the people I met, and the wholesomeness .. I had to watch what I mentioned, as they would sit open mouthed. My husband, the opposite he had every opportunity went to the most expensive school in the UK.. luckily it didn't ruin him.. he is slightly wild still drinks far too much, but happy. We made a decision that even if it meant sacrifice, we have privately educated our children. There is a serious lack of good schools in English medium here in Wales all good schools are Welsh speaking. I can only say that my boys have thrived .. my unbelievably shy, eldest son is a great public speaker at 14, and his brain amazes me. He would have been lost in the system.. the youngest would have done well anywhere .. but like his mum would probably have been intoxicated by the wild kids :)<br />I appreciate that we can do this for them and we are lucky .. but I wish that this was the norm that all kids had a chance to have a good start in life, a good education .. the knowledge to express themselves and to be encouraged to succeed .. as a country we are sadly failing our youth.<br />Anyhow wishing you a Merry Christmas wherever you spend it .. hate the bloody think myself but the boys love it :) looking forward to future posts <br />Love Ruth xWildernesschichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204518870992194687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-29568444430780929092009-12-09T09:31:09.681+01:002009-12-09T09:31:09.681+01:00Thanks Shane!
