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.

One month
In the space of about one month, I will hopefully become a parent. My son, Jacob is due to be born during the first week of April.
It is a stressful time for me but I have many coping mechanisms inside my head to help me feel less stressed. I create things such as art and videos, and I create machines inside my head that do certain things. I try to solve logical problems inside my head. People will see me and think I'm absent minded because they don't understand what is going on.
Anyway, there are many questions I have about the near future. Such as, will I give Jacob a good childhood? Will he have a long happy life? What will it mean to be a British boy growing up in the 2020's for Jacob. Will he live in a country that has been driven into poverty? Will Jacob have a good social life and find it easy to make friends? What will Jacob value when he is an adult? What will he look like? Will he have good health? Will Jacob have good parents that steer him in all the right paths. Will his birth be straightforward and safe? So many questions, so many.
Some of my own Questions cause anxiety?
