YOU might believe me when I tell you that this post had been left forgotten in draft mode since 24 Jan 2009 — till now.

Of course, this is a none-too-subtle hint to some ‘friends’ of mine in the Outernet (i.e. real life).

If you don’t know this by now…

1.10am local time, 15°C (59F), coolish

Just texted this to someone:—

“Robert here. Keep this on ur phone & look at it sometimes.

“Real power doesn’t come from hate. It comes from Truth. Write more, paint more, photograph more. Do something amazing. Go down a different path. Challenge yourself. Think small. Think big. Do good for no returns. Your time is limited, don’t live someone else’s life. Have fun. Don’t hurt people. Don’t accept defeat. Strive to be happy.”

A walking, talking kind of fail

5.36pm local time, 20°C (68°F), overcast and cool

Stowing stuff away when I happened upon a note of mine from last year.

“14 June 2012.
Some people never learn. Nearly a year of silence, and DW
only manages to email me one measly message of 25 words.
Unf**kingbelievable. By the 5th word, it’s the same setup —
asking for advice, but never saying what advice being asked for.
Some people are born organic versions of spam.“
