5:30 PM WOKE UP/FACEBOOK: ONLINE GALLERY/SAW PAINTINGS BY VAN GOGH 

I woke up, and, immediately went off to go do some web surfing on my desktop computer at home. Starting off exactly where I had finished last night...meaning, I ended up at Facebook web site; where I started scrolling through a whole series of Van Gogh paintings...each of which left me feeling nothing less than totally entranced.

I think, at around the 4th click of the mouse...I ran into a Van Gogh 'blue and yellow' self-portrait...

...which, in turn, 'inspired' me to go and try drawing my own self-portrait.

6 PM DREW SELF-PORTRAIT USING A BLACK BIRO PEN ON A4 WHITE COPIER PAPER

I found a black biro pen/together with an A4 sheet of typing/copier paper...looked at myself being seen standing up straight in front of the bedroom mirror...and, just started scribbling away. When the drawing was done -(probably, in around15 minutes up to half-an-hour...I certainly wasn't watching the time that had passed)-; I placed it inside of a black plastic folder I keep...filled with lots of clear plastic see-through wallets...this folder contains many of the loose leaf self-portrait drawings that I've gone and created throughout many long years...none of which do satisfy me, unfortunately; I just don't have enough patience/skill to stick with doing a 'self-portrait' most effectively.

Indeed, with my ADD/Attention Deficit Disorder type of mind...I don't think there is anything I do in life that is entirely correct...; as I tend to give up way too soon...starting everything with total enthusiasm...but, then, never ever -or, hardly ever- properly finishing; thus, most stuff I do is left in an 'unfinished' state....be it trying to go clean up myself/the house/attempting to go create artworks/or, reading library books...most are left totally unread/watching YouTube 'teach yourself' movies/or, any other form of 'teach yourself' stuff on the internet...currently, I'm trying to teach myself how to learn to do CSS, properly; there is some success, of course...but, mostly, it's a fail...especially, in terms of having gone and produced a truly top class 'professional' job; meaning, nobody is likely to wish to employ a total 'amateur' like me...?!

-(NOTE: Normally, I would have uploaded my self-portrait to show here inside of this blog page by using my iPad 4 to photograph it with; however, most unfortunately, my iPad 4 doesn't seem to be working, anymore...as the battery refuses to 'charge'. I think, I'm going to have to take it down to the shops to be fixed...I worry about how much this is likely to cost, though?! So, I been real slow about getting around to doing that, yet...; with just far too many other bills still to pay: Council tax/Water rate/Electric bill/Home Insurance/-etc.)-

6:30 PM CREATED A SIMPLE CSS3 'TEST' HEADER WEB PAGE

This morning I tried learning how to create a CSS3 web page style heading...




The same above page, updated, later on...


I also tried to update a few other web pages, as well, that I'm still working on building; constantly, experimenting, playing around with how colours are used inside of web pages: rgba(n,n,n,n).  -Etc.

9 AM COMPLETED DOING AN ONLINE JOB SEARCH FOR THE DAY: SEARCHED TO FIND 5 JOBS: ADMIN RELATED IN SOUTH EAST LONDON



http://www.findajob.gov.uk
...today, I went and completed doing a job search to find 'admin' work in South East London; after which I decided to go take a break.

I'm meant to do this task for every single day; but, sometimes, I forget...?!

10 AM GAMBLED AND LOST AT WILLIAM HILL

I bet £10.00 at WilliamHill...playing the game of online Roulette...

http://www.williamhill.com

...at first, I actually 'doubled' my money...I recall I was winning something like £21.00+...which, of course, tempted me to stay and gamble more; growing over self-confident, I went and bet far too high; and, of course, it lost...; eventually, I was left with a balance which said just: £1.80...at that point i decided to quit with a feelings of total disgust!

9 PM WENT SHOPPING AT BOTH COOP/ICELAND

I had some rubbish to go and dump inside of tip which is half-way down the road; after I'd gone and made 2 trips to go and dump stuff. I decided it's time to go and do some shopping, as well.

I went down to the CoOp superstore -(remembering to bring along 2 plastic CoOp shopping bags; then, I wouldn't need to buy anymore of these)- and, in there I brought...

1 x Tuna spread
1 x Egg mayonaise spread
2 x medium size sticks of French stick bread
1 x brown bread (wafer type)
4 x packets containing 2 sticks of Ginger root
7 x large packets of crips: Walker's Max Strong Jalpeno & Cheese

Then, I went across the road to go and visit Iceland superstore...in there I brought...

2 x boxes containing 4 x chocolate cornet ice creams: Nestle Extreme Gooey Chocolate Fudge
2 x boxes of Plums
4 x boxes of Peaches
1 x plastic bag (the other 2 bags I'd brought along with me were already totally crammed full)

After which I stuck 3 bags onto my bike's handlebars; then, slowly, rode all the way straight back home.
