See my slightly out of date - 'mini-bio' at www.johnalanhirst.com - currently trying to return to some form of writing following continuous use of 'mighty morphine'
for on-going illness - physical & mental disability problems.
I am now officially retired having been a retail operations director for one of the SEARS GROUP of retail divisions.
I am disabled due to severe chronic lung illness's and because of trying to control this I have been on -'high dose ' STEROIDS
NEARLY ALL MY LIFE - THEY HAVE BEEN A 'GOD SEND' Saved my life - flat-lined twice - but .......... its now 'pay back time' - they leave - give you - many side effects - one of the worst being soft and/or brittle bones... 2 years ago my vertebrae collapsed - trapping nerves etc - it is not possible to operate - due to any anchor - pinning work needing - solid bones around them - and I haven't any - I will add to this later - morphine affects my concentration - and I want this site for me to use - to work and communicate positively.my Christian faith is very deep rooted I do believe in the power of prayer via the holy spirit. I am currently putting together a poetry collection called INTENSIVE CARE - Due for publication in December 2008.
Dreams are usually nice - safe - warm - 'with flowers'
Add water -'sea and sand' these can be added ingrediants to relax .............. making the night a peacful passage toward a new day.
note your dreams - your thoughts aspirations down
motivation - and/or maybe the begginings of a lyric or a poem
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet or to have met - Sylvia Plath - Tony Benn - Sarah Brightman - Alan Sugar -
I really enjoy meeting people - poets - exchanging verse etc - READING CURRENT AFFAIRS -
Bloggers with a satirical - political humorous view of life - its good for me to 'keep it light' and laugh.
I also like to meet - help people whether they and/or family members etc have Asthma - Respiratory disease of any kind.
I do believe that often children and the elderly are mis-diagnosed - and given wrong - strong drugs - 'too early' especially the main 3-4 inhalers.This masks the true symptoms which are often allergic or food based allergies.
Making it difficult to 'back-track.
I enjoy all forms of thriller - crime fiction - I can escape my world of sleepless - pain and hurt by reading these
I AM A MONET FANATIC - I also enjoy Kandinsky - Klimt -
Lowry - many other impressionists
my poetry mix is large from - Sylvia Plath via Dylan
Thomas to Carol-Ann Duffy plus Jane Pollard. ee. cummings Elizabeth Barrett Browning ( love her sonnets)and the wonderful war poet - Wilfred Owen
I Attened TIBSHELF SECONDARY - ALFRETON - DERBYSHIRE and
WINDLESTON HALL RESIDENTIAL - RUSHYFORD COUNTY DURHAM
this was for my asthma - it helped healthwise but not in any education sense - but being away from home - quite ill and only aged 12 was a 'growing up quick' experience of it's own
I REALLY LOVE LISTENING TO RADIO 5 LIVE - I enjoy most talk show type participation programmes - and try to contribute often in the small - 'wee hours' Let off some steam and have a good rant. Also using the blog-news sites to access up to the minute facts and comments/opinions
At my age i never really expected to stay this well informed via a media tool such as the internet
