(Life is) Organised Chaos - Series 2

(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
