(Life is) Organised
chaos - Series 2
Let me tell you a
story.
Once upon a time in a
magical land1 there was a boy named Iain.
One night2 a
fairy came to him in a dream,3 and made him think about
how he should write things as if he was speaking.
‘Interesting…' thought
Iain4, and he gave it a try. To his surprise people liked5 the
things he wrote, and he began to get people asking him more and more about his
writing.
Soon, Iain decided he
enjoyed writing these things, and so began a magical thing that some people
call a ‘blog’6.
After a while the evil
tyrant known as ‘University’ began to demand Iain’s attention and so the blog
became neglected…
But then, Iain
conquered the evil tyrant! As Iain celebrated his victory, a thought popped
into his head7 reminding him about his one time, short-lived hobby
of blog writing.
And so, very bravely, Iain fought
through the layers of dust and debris8 that shielded his blog…and he
couldn’t believe his eyes! The people of the world9 hadn’t forgotten
about the blog! So with a determined nod and a heroic stance10 he
vowed to use his blog once again, to begin what he would refer to as ‘series 2’
of his attempted blog writing.
The End
1 – Magical land = Hemel Hempstead…just outside of
London
2 – One night = one Tuesday lunchtime
3 – A fairy came to him in a dream = a thought came
to him whilst eating a packet of Quavers.
4 – ‘Interesting…' thought Iain = ‘Meh. Why not try
it?...' thought Iain.
5 – People liked = People didn’t hate
6 -
Some people call a 'blog' = Everybody calls a blog.
7 – A thought popped into his head = An email from
Blogger popped into his inbox
8 – layers of dust and debris = Google’s security
measures for unused accounts
9 - the people of the world = the view count had
gone up a bit thanks to some loyal readers in North America and in the north of England
10 – a determined nod and a heroic stance = a shrug
of the shoulders and a ‘meh, why not?’
Thank you
Iain jb
