Category: Oldie but it goodie! :)
I have always been a Dog sorta guy… ever since I was a little kid.
The first dog in my life was called Toy… He was a HUGE furry black thing that used to belong to one of the neighbours but that has always been around us since I was a little baby… I actually remember mounting it and using it as a dog at some point… and the silly dog would simply get up and walk… hehehehehe…
My first dog was a blue merlow collie called Bluster when I was 5 years old… and from there on I’ve had at least 6 different dogs.
As you can see… I am a dog kinda person… They are loyal, cuddly, always there for you… no wonder they are called a man’s best friend…
Then I met the ex wife… a cat lover… and the most temperamental cat I’ve ever met… Tigger, that for some VERY strange reason decided that liked me… and for some VERY strange reason I kinda liked too… apart from when he would just turn on me because… well… because it wanted… Then Tigger died… it was sad and all but I really thought: no more cats…
No such luck… As my marriage got undone I fell in love with another cat lover… And Hales has 2 cats… not one… So I became the daddy to a couple of felines… The weird thing is… T(the boy) has my temperament… easy going… kinda spaz… playful… clueless… and A(the girl) has Hales temperamental and totally independent personality… Funny uh???? I think is awesome! 
So basically I now like cats too… Go figure…
But I am not really here to write about my relationship with animals throughout my lifetime… Believe me… I could… I have a lot to say about them… one of them for example is how I HATE to clean the cat liter trays (if you follow my tweets you will know that already as I complain about it there every time I have to clean them up… grumpy old man me… hehehe

So… this is my last night of my last weekend as a 30 year old me and when I wake up it will be day one of the rest of my life…
Yeah… I know it sounds like common place, but believe it or not, it does have a special meaning to me… don’t ask me to explain… it has to do with significance of numbers and a few promises I made myself long ago… Some things I need to prove to myself… and a few other ones that I need to do before I run out of time.
Time… yeah… something so precious and something we don’t really give the right value to… Then when time comes we keep wondering where did time go… yeah… I know that feeling…
I am in a complete different place I had planned to be when I was asked 10 years ago: Where do you want to be in 1o years?
And you know what??? I am now old enough to see and admit that it doesn’t really matter that I am not who I wanted to be… It doesn’t matter that I am not who I wanted to be “when I grow up”… The song is right, and some of the most interesting people I know today still don’t wanna know what they want to be when they grow up…
I am not going to lament who I am not… I will enjoy life and celebrate who I am… and where I can still get to…
I want to run, play and mess around with the kiddos in my life…
I want to love and be loved… And I want cuddles…
I want to wake up in the morning and… Carpe Diem…
Suckage will be thrown around… but the simple things will be there too to make sure the balance is restored.
The reinvention of me started a while ago… now it goes into full steam!
I’ve started the introductory class “Me 101″ and am learning quite a lot about someone I thought I had lost so long ago…
ME! Myself and I!
So… you should totally stay tunned to this version 3.1 of Yuriware and find out what happens day by day as I reinvent myself again…
The basic challenges have started… I have moved out again and am truly living on my on since … well since a looong time…. I have joined our local swimming pool and plan to go lap it every day 1st thing in the morn… I will cycle more than drive… and I will eat healthily… I am even having the help of my gorgeous GH styling me into someone that doesn’t wear clothes that make him look like a 50yo… I am taking more photos and enjoying life more (and I intend todo this alone, with friends and family and as a couple… there HAS to be balance… and I will find it! I am also shaving my chest for charity…
I will be fit by the end of the year… well… fit enough…
I am defining the way I will walk towards… and whatever way that ends up being I will make sure it works… Not because I need to make it work (and yeah… I do need to make it work… specially as the generation that comes behind me depends on me… but I need to o it to prove to myself that I still got what it takes!) because I need to leave a legacy.
And I am doing all that before version 3.1 gets upgraded to 3.2
I am taking new chalenges too and I am open to suggestions… What will you have me do????
This morning I booted up my computer and took a look at my to do list that seems to be as big as my ar right now… Then like a sign from the heavens I saw a twit from Hales saying:
Grrr men are useless! Gonna have to go out this morning now when wasn’t planning to!
Can you argue with that when you have a review to do that is sitting in you reviews box for quite some time now?!?!?!
It seemed obvious to me as to what one of my priorities for today should be…
In special as it is something that will benefit so many man in the same condition I live in now: (not so)single having no time or patience… or inclination… to spend time taking care of the boring stuff in life like shopping for essential male grooming stuff.
Ladies and gents, It is my pleasure to introduce you to menareuseless.com .
Men Are Useless aim is to give men (and the people who love them) more time to play out, fight sharks, catch baddies, build dens, practise wheelies and hit the heights they deserve. For around the same price you’d pay in the shops they do your essential toiletry shopping for you, box it up and deliver through your letterbox!
All you have to do is go on the website, choose the type of box (and subscription if you don’t want to worry about ordering it every month) you want and have it arriving in your letterbox every month… hassle free… with impecable presentation and with some funky stuff like the Moose Head Moose Mud Face Mask which is something I would never even think or imagine I’d use before.
I seriously thought the stuff was going to be brown like… mud brown and not white… and the moment you put it in your face it burns and tingles like crazy… But the results are awesome and you feel your skin very fresh… and… Right… I still didn’t notice the difference… but it is supposed to be good for your skin.
Bloody ingenious!!!! They thought of everything… even to reward the postman to make sure you get an extra special service on the delivery with some yummy sweets!
I absolutely love the reasons they give you to subscribe to their services:
- Men have better things to do than go shopping for male grooming stuff.
- Their partners should not be leaned upon to buy their essentials.
- There are a lot of rubbish toiletries out there that should not be selling in the numbers they are
- Men with better things to do prefer fewer, better choices.
- Men should not be walking out their houses smelling like their partner’s bathroom products
- Busy men should not be worrying about the mundane
- Male Chromosomes + Shops = misery
- All men, given some free time, can find a creative use for it
- Why bother doing the boring stuff – it uses up the time you should be doing rewarding stuff
- Good grooming essentials should not cost the earth.
Nuff Said???
All the fine toiletries you need to look and smell good but forget to buy, delivered monthly – postage and packaging INCLUDED in the price (from as little as £15)
I have a quick question… Are you as useless as me at the boring Stuff??????
