The Worrier

The problem with being a worrier is you worry about everything. Even if it hasn't even happened yet, or it likely won't happen, or it's so improbable that it has only happened to one other person in the history of everything, ever.

I am a worrier. I'm a supreme worrier. I'd go so far as saying if there was an Olympic event in it I would win the gold medal. Except I wouldn't as I'd never actually make the event as I'd worry myself into such a state I'd be too busy vomiting to make it.

The irony is under actual pressure I perform quite well. Take my recent holiday as a prime example. I worried myself into a bit of a state before I went as I had a cold and obviously, in my head, if I got any worse Simon would just dump me by the roadside like an abandoned dog instead of googling the nearest pharmacy. So snotty and anxiously we headed off, until on the motorway the car started juddering, cue a tyre very rapidly running out of air. Without thinking I was straight on the phone finding the nearest garage. Simon slowed right down and we left at the next exit.

I managed to find a fantastically efficient and reasonably priced garage. One new tyre, £52 and 30 minutes later we were safely on our way. We had a great time which if anything should go to prove there's really no need for me to worry. Are you listening brain?

It's been too long so here's a poem

It's a poem that I wrote it as a reminder to myself. Sometimes after a bad day, when my thoughts are raging in my brain, writing is the only way to clear my head. I call it Hello My Name Is Sam - a name I chose because it was the first one that popped in my head and because I've always liked it. Hello My Name Is Sam Hello my name is Sam And I've got lots to say The only problem is I talk in a different way I really love dinosaurs  And I think that you should too So I'll talk about them all day long I really wish you knew As many facts about Jurassic Park As I do, it's such a shame That you say that you're not interested So I'll tell you all their names Then maybe you will like them too And you can be just as clever I don't really want to be alone Please can we talk together? I try to understand people But my struggles are unseen As they sometimes talk in riddles And say things that they don't mean They sometimes take a minute  When they say "I&#

Ooh A Podcast Appearance!

I've been listening to and enjoying Phil and Ben's Don't Lets Chart for ages so when I was asked to be involved I jumped at the chance. If you haven't heard it it's essentially two men in their late 30s trying to make sense of the world using charts as a framework. It is silly, funny and contains more ALF than you'll have heard in a long time. If you want to hear my actual voice you can listen to it via  this link .
