has everyone got a blog

did they always? i mean i never thought i was unique but now it seems stupidly cliched.

anyway, hello anyone who reads this. just thought id waste some more time before finishing doing the annoying administrative crap that you have to do if youre freelance and want to get paid. it really is much easier working for a company who work out ur tax and pay you directly. all these invoices and stuff seem just like work you dont get paid for.

oh well.
i must say its been quite a while. anyone miss me?
things have been ticking along ok, apart from my administrative struggles.
adriana came. then she went back. her dad had a heart attack and it was all alittle stressful and now hes getting better and sitting there recovering watching footie on telly in bogota.
it really is hard for me to imagine what its like there.
well i wont need to much more. cos sooner rather than later im off to colombia.

and thats the thing. im still working. EJP, jewish news and the much more recognisable and well read Jerusalem Post.
these days i wouldnt say i love the post, but im sort of a bit of a fixture in the office and i like that people read stuff on the web and in the paper.
ive had a few things published.
also, i lovvvvve betar, whatever the problems. and there are. and i go for free every week if i want to. and i do! its all up and down at te moment. i hope this stupidfrench manager just leaves at the end of the season. he pisses me off no end. especially cos he cant speak hebrew or english so everything has to be translated, its a nightmare.
although the translator, yonni, is interesting and im supposed to be interviewing him sometime soon.

also my column has been gaining pace. i still dont get paid for it but its fun to write it. doesnt take me long and i get to write whatever i like and erm some people read it. dunno how many, especially cos its in the paper on a monday which must be one of the least popular days to buy the post in israel and how many people read the sports pages anyway, who knows. doesnt matter its all good experience.

right i got to go.
i must thank mr frankie sachs for giving me the opportunity.
send me an email if u read this. im not doing any pr this time.
