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.

Road Rage & Royal wedding
If you know me, you will know I am a slow driver, well by slow I mean I follow the speed restrictions. Today I got angry at a driver that accelerated towards me from behind and tailgated me, I gave him a special hand signal when he eventually passed by. I thought that if I was deaf and he was deaf I could have a whole argument without ever leaving my car, unfortunately I can only signal two or three words with my hands. I must try and be level headed next time and not react. People that drive like that will punish themselves anyway when they get penalty points on their license and they will crash their car.
Today there is the royal wedding of Meghan and Harry, the British Royal family is growing at a steady rate. I wish Meghan and Harry a happy marriage. Nice to have an American in the family. I hope the Queen doesn't get too stressed, she is very old.
If I have one advice for any parent it would be to never compare your children. It has a very negative effect on the person listening. I think if a child is compared to their brother or sister then eventually they will learn not to listen at all because they don't want the emotional toxic poison in their head. If you have a problem with your kid then tell the child, but don't say "why can't you be like you brother or sister" that is very bad and the outcome would be negative. Especially if that child is older because that is very humiliting. I think the big problem with this world is no one has anything nice to say they just complain all the time about small things that sometimes are not important and they forget that they are talking to a human being with feelings.

Pain
Today I went to work with a neck pain, let me explain why...
At 19:30 there was a loud noise and I turned my head very quickly. The noise came from outside, some traffic incident I believe. The rapid movement of my head caused my neck that was nearly healed to be re-injured.
Here's the problem, I said I would come for overtime and It was close to the start of my shift. I had to come because it would damage my reputation as a reliable worker. I rely on my good reputation to get overtime regularly. It would cost me a lot in the future if I didn't come. I'm at a stage in my life where I had some very large bills so I have a policy of always accepting overtime when it comes even though I work full time.
Here I am at work with pain in my neck. I took some pain killers and I am focused on the work. No one knows I am in so much pain. If they could see the true me, they would see a man in tears. A man that is fighting for completion with crippling pain.
Here is the end of January with fire and resilience. Will power and hope.

First winter as a married man
Last month I got married to my darling Cinthya. The winter has arrived in full force, the last 3 days have been foggy and quite cold. I have a pain in the head just above my left eyebrow for some days now and I'm not sure why, I'll blame the weather.
I am left handed and have never worn a ring before so it took some adjusting but I am wearing my ring every day now. My thinking is different now because it is not about me, it is about us as a pair.
There are some things that will never change, this blog is my blog and it is my history. All my media creations are still mine but everything else is about us and not me and her. Our time, our recreation, our life plan and our future.
This whole year has been very strange, many celebrities have died and the Eurosceptic community had their say and won the vote to leave the EU, the year is nearly over now. What will 2017 be like? I hope it will be the best year yet.

Sick again
Last night I went to work but I was still slightly sick. I thought I was OK but I felt terrible. I felt dizzy and had a headache. I was weak and could not work freely.
I carried on working and just hoped it would go away but I didn't. I feel a bit better now, I hope that work will be smooth tonight.
Sometimes I feel like I have recovered when I haven't. The most important thing in this life is good health. If you are sick and tired all the time then your quality of life is reduced.
