Random Jottings ~ Love
cursed are they who get the love they think they deserve
~
‘I love you…..’ he said
‘why…..’ she asked’
because I’m bloody stupid…..’
~
she loved him and he didn’t deserve her
so, eventually he walked away
she didn’t know how lucky she was
~
she was attractive
she was available
she was loving
she was going to be a complete waste of time and money
~
car sex is the opposite of true love
~
love is a drug
but so is sex, alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, opium, viagra…..
~
Fuck Me! No way, I’m a man and you’re a surprised shade of blue alien

she will never love you
not if you try to force it
Random Jottings ~ Faith
only in the darkness can you see the moon and stars
~
worry ends when faith begins
~
faith can move mountains, but dynamite helps
~
faith, hope, and love
and the greatest of these is love
~
faith is what makes men carry on when it all seems impossible
~
some say that when you have faith you have everything
I’ve found that a lot of money helps too
~
a casual walk through a lunatic asylum will tell you
that blind faith doesn’t prove anything at all

faith is the light that shines in the depths of distant space
Random Jottings ~ Medical
it’s a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do ‘practice…..’
after a sixteen-hour shift women doctors need to practice standing on one leg
~
nurses, the problem is you can’t live without them, and you can’t always believe them
~
his temperature was up to 105, and there was an icy look in the nurse’s eyes
~
little do the doctors know, but you’re never alone if you’re paranoid
~
never give up on life, if you give up you have no chance at all
~
he was happy before the doctor told him he was sick
~
she had wise eyes in a face of angelic concern
shame she wasn’t a nurse

it’s one of life’s more important skills
7 Years of Blogging
history is what you make of it, and the editor’s opinion is final
the first picture I posted ~ my old sports car SARA
Seven years ago, on or about 24 June 2013, I started to write and publish this jackcollier7.com blog. Looking back, I wonder what on Earth possessed me to think I could possibly do such a thing! And the me from back the would have been amazed that the damn thing is still going about 2,557 days later!
Back then I knew nothing at all about blogging, other than I had read some pieces on some other people’s blogs. I mean literally, I knew nothing about blogging, and there I was starting off to write what was to become a daily effort of blood, sweat, toil, and tears.
Originally this was all supposed to be about personal finance, and the wider world of Banking, Finance, Economics, and the Consumer Society. It’s changed a bit since then. These days I’m more likely to publish some erotic photographs with risque text to accompany them, as I am to write a piece about financial matters. It’s actually up to you to decide whether you like my blog or not ~ but come what may I will write and publish what I want to write, just as long as it’s legal, honest, decent, and within my own ethical guidelines.
Since I started in June 2013, I have published 1,748 blogs. I’ve written more than that because some of the stuff I wrote I thought was dross before I published it, and some of the stuff I’ve published I’ve trashed after it’s been published. Even I sometimes have second thoughts.
In total there have been 9,651 comments on this blog, of which 3,328 are mine. It says that I have 2,554 followers, but that number is hopelessly inaccurate ~ probably less than 100 people regularly read / like / comment on this stuff today.
What I do know is that I still have 3 very loyal followers from those very first days. Some others who follow my blog have also been doing so for a very long, long time.
I guess I will go on writing because it does keep my mind active. And, I have met some very interesting people through this blog, a few of whom have become very dear friends indeed.
Whether or not to go on writing just the same sort of stuff???
Or to try something completely utterly different???
Honestly, I don’t know ~ what do you all think

he smiled at you
like he knew all your secrets
she’s calling on the telephone
how does she always know just when to call?
~
she only calls when she’s lonely
she only calls when she needs me
and every time she calls she cries
she tells me her little love stories
then she tells me her bigger lies
she tells me how fine it could be
she just can’t look into my eyes
so, it’s time I said goodbye

it’s just her choice of men
Random Jottings #20
tiger tiger burning bright, in the forests of the night
~
if you look into the eyes of a tiger you have to be stupid
and too bloody close
~
never, ever open the door marked ‘here be tigers…..’
~
when you’re in trouble, always go through the door marked ‘staff only…..’
~
cats are cool, cats are nice, cats torture mice
~
when a tigress says she loves you, count your arms and legs
but wait until after the good part

never smile at a tiger
or a woman with very heavy eye makeup
she loved me for a day
the flowering of love never dies it’s time just passes
~
twilight’s last whisper
dreaming of memories
loves lost times past

Random Jottings ~ Vampires
vampires do not drive sensible cars
~
never offer a vampire a drink
~
he tasted the blood in the water
well, she was that kind of vampire
~
she was bad, she was mean, she was dangerous
but she did drive a vintage red Corvette
~
most vampire’s theme song isn’t the toccata and fugue
it’s bat out of hell
~
I once loved a vampire, but she was a few hundred years older than me

she had wise eyes
a face of angelic innocence
damn shame she was a vampyre
Writing
English, the finest and truest language ever known to mankind
Nobody can write a scene like Shakespeare, even though he couldn’t even spell his own name.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother
I cannot write prose like Mark Twain, even though he was naught but a steam boat pilot.
Never allow someone else to be your priority
while allowing yourself to be their option
Few can stir the blood like a Tennyson or Coleridge.
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward
into the valley of death rode the six hundred
Or evoke love and passion in the way of a Keats or Shelly.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness
But I can write like me ~ direct, pithy, sanguine, and terse.
Haunting music of the wind, wave counterpointed, pink sky echoed

Fleming created an iconic character
