Some inspiration for you dear reader(s).The Kraken Wakes wrote:f*ck it, im going to Roll Call as him.
Going Howard Hughes…
August 25, 2012
Somehow I’ve coined a new phrase…Going Howard Hughes. What is that I hear you ask dear reader(s)..? Lean forward and I shall tell thee…
Sometimes I end up like a hermit for a couple of days – oh, I do venture out to buy necessities like tobacco or milk but I end up postponing have a shower – yes, that is disgusting. My being a night owl also doesn’t, doesn’t help. I’ll either end up having a shower in the dawning hours of the morn whilst the orchestral chirps of the dawn chorus usually rouse the 9 to 5 er’s from their slumbers and then having had a jolly nice, long shower - get into clean lounge wear and head off to the land of Nod…That wasn’t the case this past Friday. I roused myself at 10 am to take an appointed call from a Recruitment Consultant from London at 10.30 – but alas, the chap either forgot or was very busy. He eventually did call and we had a nice chat at around or after midday (I can’t fault the man for not calling on time, things happen). However, he made a suggestion that led to my going Howard Hughes until Saturday afternoon the next day – he suggested creating a proper online portfolio as he felt, having seen my wonderful, wonder filled blog that some viewers will naturally, not know where to start…
Hmm. True. True.
And off I set on a collision course with Weebly – the online free website design portal. One can register a domain name etc and the account holder will have access to other premium features – note to self – I would like to invest in that when I have more funds available. But, until then, the site as is will do for now…and its rather lovely. But, I hear you all ask what IS going Howard Hughes?!
Its my way of describing becoming so unkempt and hermit like that it truly is like being Mr Hughes in the final secluded years of his life – dirty and smelly. And I stunk. Anyone would if they had not bathed for nigh on 24 hours in Summer…yuck. On this occasion, i was so tired I just simply went back to bed as the dawn sky broke through and I heard my latest neighbour – a little Robin chirping away…(I wish I could speak Robin, we’d have interesting and wonderful conversations about things…). However, my smelly slumber was interrupted by my Sarcoidosis side – effect (yes, you read that right, Sarcoidosis ) – waking up in a sweat; for some unknown reason its a side effect, it doesn’t stink like normal sweat, does but its like being sprayed with water and left to warm up in a toasty bed…this roused me up and about and like Mr Hughes, I ended up walking around the house, stark – bollock – naked. Thats the joy of having a home all to one self: you can do what the f*ck you like. In my smelly state, I felt like Mr Hughes did but know, there were no collected bottles of urine and toe nail clippings here and there, nor was the actual abode a total and utter bomb site style mess! I blame Weebly and my stubborn tenacity to get my website looking right for staying up all day and night in just my dressing gown and plugging away at the bloody thing – Weebly claim it makes things easier – like f*ck it does. Its annoying and irritating and my left hand (I am left handed) ached for a bit from all the RSI I’d bestowed upon it (poor left hand!); what I find incredible is that in comparison, WordPress as a service are far more technically adept comparable to Weebly – you upload a large image and it will display as a large image and in the same colours. But alas the inverse can be said of Weebly – a jpeg or pdf has to be painstakingly re – opened in illustrator, changed to RGB colour profile, then saved for web and devices, or it has to be resized by pixel length and width – normally to double just so it will display at a more optimum format on ones Weebly site! If you have a sodding pdf thats got say 11 pages – your buggered as each page has to be selected and opened by Open with so its a real arse ache – especially when one should a) have showered, b) got himself groomed and dressed c) had something to eat d) done other things like housework or shopping or put the laundry out etc, etc, etc….And even more so when its nearly DAWN…
The site still needs tweaking, especially with image sizes on some of my work from my Portfolio, but its getting there….
Oh, and in case you’re still wondering – use the interweb and find out who Howard Hughes was…

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Which, incidentally, I do not. Well, I do, but they are rather short, and therefore "knee high" boots to me are what other people call "ankle boots". Or Converse All Stars....
