So if you serve....

Hi,
So I've been signed up to this thing for a long time, just waiting, maybe building up the courage to actally 'blog'.
What to write about, will people actually read, will people think im just a whiny little pr*ck for venting online.
But hey you only live once dont you, if your lucky.
So here I am, laid bare in front of you all asking you to read---neh subscibe to my scrawls, my rants my drunken moody bitchyness, I dont even mind if you want to comment, positive is nice but negative is also welcome. And hey if i dont know you, perhaps you are just a passer by, here is everything you need to know...
My name is Mark-Steven Dalgleish, I am a whisker over 27 years old, im a working class schlub with middle class ambitions, I drink, I smoke and i have an inflated opinion of my less than average intelligence, all this packaged up in a body that fluctuates between bloatedly obese and crackhead skinny.  I cant control my life, I am a coward, I love music, I love art, I love running and running untill my legs dont work anymore.  I dont earn much money and I dont have much fun, my future is bleak at best, but for some reason I cant let that get me down, I love my family I love my friends and this is for all of you.
With this in mind i wish to bestow upon you...my friends my cyber followers and people who are reading just to see 'what that dick has got to say this time'... a small set of rules/obligations for you, the people. You all have friends people that are close to you and for those people you should devote yourself to the following preachings
Don't take for granted.  At times in our life we are all busy, dont get wrapped up in yourself or your work, or anything else and neglect your friends, how would you feel if they missed your birthday or didnt call you after a massive event in their lives.

Don’t be jealous. Or if you are, just admit it and get over it. Jealousy has a way of turning into bitterness which develops into a quiet resentment. It’s a slippery slop that can ruin your relationship if not caught and quarantined.

Talk. Be a good communicator. It doesn’t matter if you’re making dinner plans or being honest about hurt feelings. Good friends talk to each other and share their hearts.
Listen. Stop if it feels like you’re talking too much about yourself. Ask them about their day. Rejoice with them when things are going well. When things are rough, be there for them and stay there until the tears have dried. Give space if asked for it. Simply put, listen to your friend.
Help. Friends help friends. Whether it’s moving or babysitting, a good friend will lighten your load and you should do the same

So there it is, Taff laid bare.  To my friends...Im sorry, these are rules I will live by.  To you all, do you? do they make sense?
Be a better person?
