work versus relaxation

as i said, my only source of income is from the work that i do with the numbers 0 and 1... and what hard work it is too. a few months ago, i arranged with the company to work from home, which was about 200miles away, so i could spend more time with my family and friends. in many respects i am very lucky, but it is incredibly difficult to relax because there is no definite, clear line between working and relaxing - i spend all day in front of a glowing computing machine, and then do the same in the evening!

so, i'm inventing ways to break my day up. at first i just had a shower after i'd logged off at work. then i moved to jogging 1 mile a day. now i run around 5 miles a day, and that just takes it out of me completely. apart from work and running, i have done very little this past week - which i am particularly ashamed about! i should get out more.

part of the deal at work is that i have to spend usually 1 day a week in the office (200miles away from my house). after a few stays at expensive hotel rooms, i was lucky enough to be offered a room in my friends house for the nights when i am up. i like going there, because she has lots of pet fish and a nice cat who i get on with quite well, even though i never really used to like cats much before in my life. its a nice feeling to have a cat, or any other animal for that matter, jump up and sit with you - trusting you enough that it knows it will be treated well. for some reason, it likes to sleep in the bed that i sleep in there, and it snuggles right into my belly before nodding off for some shut eye.

i think i am relaxed now.

a bit about me

i guess i should do some form of introduction, so you know what i am all about.

my name is mister sensible, although i am not sensible.

my 2nd favourite type of cheese is Farmhouse Mature Cheddar. my 1st favourite is any kind of cheese that is served alongside low quality meat (preferably beef), shrink wrapped in highly toxic cellophane packaging.

i like all sorts of music, but i prefer something with a beautiful electronic melody and words that i can't make out and don't actually understand.

i earn a living from doing crazy stuff with the numbers 0 (zero) and 1 (one). these are my 2 favourite numbers, however i am undecided which one i like the most, so they are joint 1st. my 2nd favourite is the number 13, but i don't get to use that one very often. usage of the number 13 is often limited to when i fill my car up with petrol, i like to put £13.13 worth in at any one time. no more, no less.

i cried at the disney film "Cool Runnings". it is one of my all time top 4 films. i can't remember the other 3.

i would like to travel the world, but i have never had my own passport. khazakstan is one of my favourite countries, it has the most impressive annual rainfall distribution and suffers from lots of nuclear wastage pollution.

i wish there was more people like me, but at the same time i would probably hate it.

welcome

the blog of a man, far far less than sensible in any way, shape or form.
please follow my random musings and everyday observations!

i've never done a blog before, but i suspected it may not be a sensible thing to do.
and here i am.
typing.
stuff.
