A Bear of Very Little Brain

Well it's Friday 2nd January 2015 and I still feel under siege. I don't feel that it's safe yet to come out from the Bat Cave. The Keyboard Warrior has been busy firing off his little shots on Facebook and Twitter, every little gibe or witticism against the Establishment makes me feel better but they care not a jot. Revolution is in the air! Or is that the smell of the lumpen proletariat getting ready to go back to work? Work, I remember that! Work, I should really try and do some of that but work and imprisonment are one and the same thing to me, hang on a Conservative/UKIP supporter has just stuck his head through my open window "You should count yourself fortunate that you live in a country that looks after the likes of you with it's generous benefits" "What, the likes of me? Writers, you mean?" The Tory/UKIP thing carries on, "well you call yourself a writer, but anybody can call themselves that, can't they?" "You're unemployed and very quickly becoming unemployable, 50 is on the horizon, you need to take any job available". With that I karate chop blokey's neck and smash the window down hard on his head, shattering little pearls of glass around the room. The bloke is not unknown to me! That bloke is my subconscious, my inner puritan urging me daily to give up my anti-establishment struggle and to go and conform. I stand in the middle of the living room in my pink silk kimono, cigarette ash dangling from my Bette Davis inscribed golden holder, rolling my R's like Noel Coward and wishing that I was the statue of Ivor Novello in Cardiff Bay. I am scared damn it! Scared of admitting that I am like everyone else. Scared of living another year like the last one. Scared of being scared of other people! I am a macho hunk with a hipster beard. Why am I scared? Tune in to future Blog Posts to find out why and don't forget SharkFisherman fans, this Blog celebrates it's 3rd Anniversary on the 19th January. Look in the Western Mail for the notice of our huge hedonistic Birthday Party. Date and Venue to be announced.
