"Bloke" Alex

I am aware of the irony of appearing on the internet in order to de-cry it...

About Me


"I understand it but I don't show it."
I quote too much, to hide the fact that I have nothing to say
I actually know quite a lot but can never seem to apply it correctly.
"So often, one thinks of what one should have said"
I have no self-confidence and then, only when I am wrong, bounds of mis-placed self confidence.
I can't really spell all that well. I get the big words wrong.
I get tired of this digital revolution.
I just want to get along, as hope fades away. I don't like the fact that we're all finding thing wrong with ourselves... is it only because we're looking for errors and expecting to find them?
"I might be wrong, I could have sworn I saw a light coming on"
while I'm on the subject,
just once, leave your mobile at home. Don't watch the TV. Don't listen to your Ipod. Ignore newspapers. Don't go online. Leave MSN alone. Disconnect. You won't die.
Honest.
We'll all be here when you get back. Better still, come and find us out here.
