I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Dolly Parton Dies
I learnt last night on the 25th of August that the singer Dolly Parton died. The main effect it had on me is to remember that my life span is finite, I have a limited time to live. I don't even know if I will still be alive tomorrow because death is very unpredictable. I recall that she wanted to get people to read more, the more you read the happier you will be. There are so many wonderful books out there. I would always hear her songs on the radio, 'Joline', 'Islands in the stream' and 'I will always love you'.
It made me feel better about playing with my new games console, the evercade alpha. I shouldn't feel guilty about playing computer games because life is very short. I do what I need to do then I have some leisure time. There are so many retro games for me to explore, all of them are little worlds with stories.
