I made this

Initially it pissed me off that people thought Richard was writing this blog. But now that I've thought about it it's occurred to me that Richard is very funny and clever and it's a compliment that people think my writing is as funny and clever as his.

Jack Johnson and The Goddess

I used to really hate Jack Johnson but I'm coming to realise why people can find his music soothing.

Things are still amazing with The Goddess. Whenever I'm not with her I'm on the phone to her. I just love listening to her tell me about her day. Now I understand how people can spend hours at a time on the phone.

A beginning

I asked The Goddess out yesterday afternoon and she said yes. We went out for dinner after work and it was magical. She's so great. I already feel like I've known her all my life. She told me that she doesn't like my shoes and is going to take me shopping for some new ones. I think it's so cool that she already feels comfortable enough in our relationship to tell me that.

Could this be love?

There's a nurse at work that I really like. I'm determined not to make my usual mistakes with her. I'm going to try my hardest to treat her like the goddess that she is and when things start annoying me about her I'm going to try to look past the problems and see only the beautiful in her.

Previously I would have come up with a (probably crude) nickname for her, something like arsey. Instead I've decided to refer to her as The Goddess because that's how she is in my eyes.

I'll post in a couple of days to tell you if I had the guts to ask her out.

Gaiety

My flatmate told me last night that my new t-shirt "made me look gay". I started to succumb to my old trap of becoming outraged about this. But then I stopped myself and realised that his comment could be taken as a compliment as, after all, gay people are often known for their taste in clothing.

Watershed

I had an incident recently where one of my work colleagues told me that I had a terrible attitude towards life. He said that I was always finding the worst in everything and always complaining about how outraged I was about one thing or another. After a lot of soul searching and a week of sleepless nights I realised that he was right. I realised that I didn't like the person that I'd become.

For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to be more positive about life and the people that I come across and less concerned about petty irritants. To help me with this process I've decided to start up a new blog. Now that I've come to enjoy life more and more I thought I'd play along with the joke from my last blog and call this one Captain Delight. I haven't changed my whole personality, just tried to embrace the more positive part of myself.

I hope you all enjoy witnessing the start of my journey.
