Life’s a bitch

Life’s a bitch and then you die", so the saying goes. Being someone that has been blessed with a lot of luck in his life, most of it bad, I have always found that two of the most important things to help you cope with the shit that comes your way are music and humour. No, make that three things, music, humour and the love of a good woman. Cancel that! Four things, music, humour, the love of a good woman and beer.

Out of those four the one that bemuses a lot of people is humour, and how when I’m seemingly reeling in the feculence of my or someone else’s latest disaster, I can often find something to laugh about. It’s my way of coping. Basically life is absurd, so why be miserable about it?

The Monty Python song Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life is a great little ditty to sing to yourself to remind you that perhaps life might not be as bad as it seems. If it gets to the point where you can’t stand the song going round in your head then replace it with Ian Dury’s panacea Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll. Sorted!

Laugh while you can. You are a long time dead!

Update

I’m finding hard to find time to blog on Of-Course, as ever, most of my time is taken up over at RealAleNet central and my RealAleBlog.

We’ve taken our house off the market as we kind of think that it’s all a dead loss with in the current market conditions. Instead we are exploring other ways to move to Norwich. Work continues to have its ups and downs; some days are less painful than others. Thank goodness for beer!
