See the sunshine shining. Feel my blood and temperature rising. See the gangs get rowdy and start a fight. Bikes and cars are speeding Down a busy highway Never want to see the light Through curtains as I lie awake at night. In these times of chaos Chaos comes at a price of fun It's a bit of fun until the passion dies. Roll up, roll up, see the tension falling. As I leave this town crawling behind. To a new beginning. Get on a train and never look behind. When all is said and done We've all had some fun. Look after yourself and be careful not to let your spark die. Keep in mind your existence. We only get one chance at life. Just stop living on the edge of a knife.

Another day, another dollar… sort of! I heard that the NHS and Mental Health Support are short staffed here in the UK. Trying to gain a CPN Support Worker is a very scarce thing for my local Mental Health Service. Also, I have depot injection monthly to boost my mood from the MH Centre. For a Mental Health Awareness Event, I remember that I took a walk around the Nottingham Forest Football Ground five times in a group with an awareness group going off. It took place early 2024. Also, over the past few years I had attended a few local pub events, Mind Over Metal (a music festival) for it to raise money for Andy's Man Club and the Mental Health Charity called Mind . Donations went towards the respected charities. I try to support Mental Health charity where and when I can. Sometimes, doing something is better than nothing 🚫  When the lowest of moods catch up, it's best to try and stay defiant in the face of depression, even if it means to take time out or take a break. Let the ...

John’s Mental Health Journals! In 2007 (the year I walked out of my final job) I remember it being a dark evening. The nights were drawing in and the fear was there, but something comforting about sleeping on the living room floor. The flat had been rearranged for a new carpet in the bedroom. My cupboards and fittings were everywhere in the flat and I just laid there, in the dark, not knowing where my head was at. From 2023 - 2024, I start to get tired more during the day. I sleep more and struggle to move. The nights drawing in don’t help. The days are short and I feel less motivated than I ever have felt before at home. During the inbetween days, if I get up and face it, I’ll go to town. The times I feel frustrated are when I feel anxious about stepping outside my comfort zone. I have to calm myself down with night medication for anxiety. Or sleep it off. I can’t control how negative I feel about myself and the world when I really talk myself out of situations, going places and tryin...

A recent film I got to see at the Cinema (after Godzilla Minus One [2023]) was the 2024 film, Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. It's a sequel to Godzilla X Kong (2021) which came out after the recent Panademic of 2020 - 2021. In June 2024, the Godzilla vs Kong sequel came to home media and streaming platforms. It wasn't a bad film, but a lot seemed to be fit into a two hour film and it DID break Box-Office Records. It reminded me of the Showa Era silliness and without giving too much away, we get to see some EPIC Wrestling moves which called back to the 1962 King Kong vs Godzilla. The latested Monsterverse film was directed by Adam Wingard, again - just like Godzilla vs Kong (2021). Another Monsterverse film has been announced for 2027. This time with a newish director, leaving Wingard to step aside for other projects.  

A very Wet & Wild start to January 2024. The UK was hit by Storm Henk and so was Nottingham, England. A Yellow Flood & Rain Warning was put in place. Animals had to be rescued from fields as well as some home evacuations.  It's been said that it could take areas and the UK Months to recover from the Floodings and Natural Disaster.  NOTE: These photos were taken in and around Clifton Grove & under Clifton Suspension Bridge in Nottingham, UK. Everybody, please stay say and contact your local Council if experiencing any Flood or Damage related to Storm Henk.
