something is in the air

Something is in the air

michaelgcasey03/02/2024UncategorizedEdit

Something is in the air, I conquered my Tinnitus today, then like a sledgehammer it hit me

again. Without Miley shaking her bum at me.

Then I had a much needed bath, with Ckd you do need them

I even had a shave too in our freezing bathroom, right next to my bedroom

with Ckd that is a necessity too, my constant Waterloo.

Then I looked out the door I waiting for more Neem, which if you put a spray nozzle on

is perfect to take my arthritis pain away

As the top brand one, kills my kidneys so I cannot use it

Remember too long term usage means it stops working, as your body gets use to it

Chemists will tell you all this

Anyway outside in the street it was just too quiet, even the birdsong stopped

is that astroid humming by and I can feel it in my head, Barometric Pressure

and all that

OR is the Snow bomb finally coming to UK

I hope it leaves our hill alone, cos I could not go out in it

Hernia and all that, and Heart stuff

So thank God for food deliveries as up and down our hill

would kill me

The steepest hill in the locality, as the Postman told me

He used to own our house, and was a painter too

as in paintings, not buildings

So Let’s Hope Peace finally comes

As the technology is all there to fix the world

If all the nonsense, and egos, were put aside

and we all allowed Mary Queen of the Universe

To shine, and shine and shine again

I've updated this 18th March 2022 I'm Michael Casey from Birmingham England, the fat silver haired writer in shades. Beware of Others with the EXACT SAME NAME, they are not me, and would not want to be me ... use Google UK to find me, otherwise Posh Americans pop up I've done loads of writing, about 2,000,000 Words worth over 34years now But before I started to write, I LISTENED to BBC Radio 4 for 20 years, from the age of 10 or younger Frank Brown our lodger, went back to County Tyrone and he gifted us his Bush Radio. He'd be nearly 100 now if he is still alive, so say a prayer for him 54 years in love with words, and I still look so dashing. I have a picture in the attic, just like Dorian Gray I've also had an interest in Politics for 54 years with my dad heckling the tv and Politicians. I almost immediately had a hit, a play called Shoplife was accepted but not finally produced by a Theatre. The Kenneth More Theatre, so thank them for sparing you all. This was back in 1989 yes, 30 years plus ago, the play was written in 1988. So since then I'm more than good enough, as a writer. Anything else..... I also ignore those who just cannot write, pick your own candidate I tend to write Comedy as I'd rather make you laugh than cry I have written over 2000 short pieces of writing, yes 2000 " (c) by Michael Casey" If you include "chats" 3700 samples, all told, the chats do NOT go into my books when I compile them. My first book ,a full length comedy/drama is The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker You can read translations of it here on this site Up to 20 different languages/translations have been read on the same day via this site, here on Wordpress look fo Translations Galore page, and more And in over 90 Countries world wide too so you have no excuse, find your own language and read The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker or Quick Stories or any other of the books in Translation on my Wordpress This proves to me that the humour does travel I have readers in over 100 countries now, just to repeat myself From Nepal to American Samoa and all places North South East and West Or its just a hit man on the run, or whatever Unknown Region Means It may also mean that only non English Speakers like my stuff Coverage but lacking penetration as marketing folks might say I did get 21,000 readers in 3 weeks for the Polish version of In Search of an Indian Princess. which is basically the final 3 chapters of The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker all by word of mouth. And 50,000 plus in Christmas week 2021 If you add up all the downloads from my Wordpress + 13,000 when somebody stole the file. I have had more copies than Boris Johnson's Churchill book distributed. Maybe 40,000 copies . Not made a penny from it, free downloads in multiple languages. Reverse Logic, if the world knows me, eventually somebody will pay me But in reality I'll be dead first, and then just 2 pennies to pay the ferryman is enough I've cut the Plaudits, you can read/decide for yourself As for my life, I was born in the shadow of a Brewery, I was a computer operator for a market research company into alcohol sales, 21 years altogether, StatsMR Call centre guy, like everybody once in their life I was also a Trainee Betting Shop Manager I was a concierge and 10 other roles at Crowne Plaza NEC Birmingham for 3 years. Spent 3 years at Pinsent Masons Law firm in Birmingham I even hid a copy of my comic novel "BBU" in the Law Library at Pinsent Masons, well just for a day.. I did a few other jobs too, working life in reverse so to speak and I was an Esol English teacher in an Islamic school, for a year, I knew I could teach. I got Excellent, Excellent and Exemplary on the external assessment, yes really And I asked them to pray for me at least once a day beside which I've had a Shanghai connection for 20 years now, including 2 bilingual daughters and being a hausfrau a long time too, I'm a great dad, as I've had lots of time with my daughters I can always make somebody talk or laugh I believe my short stories could be used to teach English, just package them up correctly or App them Or a Tale a Day from Michael, a story telling App What else, I was brawn and brains, I used to be as strong as an Ox, now I just smell like one We have a cat called Totoro, my daughters wanted a pet I said they could have a dog if I died , or a cat if I had a heart attack. A few weeks after that in Jan 2015 I had an Unplanned Quadruple Heart Bypass , it was supposed to be a triple but it ended up a Quadruple, 33% extra free so to speak. Now with an add on Hernia, the size of your fist, pushing through my bypass scar, it hurts when I laugh, so don't make me laugh I also have arthritis and other hindrances that hobble my body and give me pain galore. But my mind is free, though having read my stories you may wish I didn't bother But I'll ignore you, and carry on regardless. I do get heckled by my own Tinnitus these past 3 years+, so I have music on all night long to drown it out. I sleep with Miley, Taylor, Eric Clapton and Will Young, maybe I should buy a bigger bed, or just get a better mattress. Tinnitus is a curse, just trust me I know, each day I wake up, Tinnitus SCREAMS at me for a full hour till it calms down That's the end of the tidy version of my life To finish here's the list of my 20 books, so far:- 1.The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker 2.Shoplife 3.Essays and Plays 4.Blogs 2011 5.300 and Not OUT 6.Shorts 2013 7.More Shorts 2014 8.Quick Stories 9.Still Alive 2015 10.Undiscovered Words 2016 11.Still Smiling 2017 12.Altogether Now 13.New Horizons 14.14 Up 15.15 Down 16.Sweet Sixteen 17. 17 Again 18. 18 New Views 19. The Final Cut of the 19th Hole 20. 2020 Words 21. 21 Door Keys, key to the door 21 on Bingo, hence title, 53,000 words so far I write bullet point stuff mainly now as Tinnitus stops me from getting in the zone to write, story stories. (c) by Michael Casey stuff though my bullet points are better than some "writers" discuss, miaow. That's why I dream of a speed typist, so I could dictate from the sofa https://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Casey/e/B00571G0YC to buy ebooks Loads of Korean and Arabic translations downloaded from my Wordpress, 1000s of them Quick Stories in Korean is a big hit. Maybe Kim in North Korea should read my books, instead of wasting his countries resources on what? Just keeping one person in power, him? Instead of joining the real world and opening a string on golf courses. That way we could get rid of Trump too. Into the sunset, as they play golf. Tears for a Butcher will be the sequel to BBU, and it too will be 600pages, however I really need a speed typist to put it down, while I sit and dictate like Barbara Cartland, and hopefully my speed typist would be impressed. we'd marry have half Korean kids, and form a Kpop band with our 4 new kids, with me as manager. And yes this is more for my bucket list, as Tinnitus keeps me awake too much, 6 months of not sleeping till dawn is really killing me Michael Casey aka the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/efda2dca0de5b9269191b7c8b0102473?s=400&d=mm View more posts

thanks for the support but 'd prefer no Tinnitus

dream houses.

IF China or anybody actually PAID me for my WORDS

1,400,000,000 people if I got a pound from each of you.....

whoever is reading all my stuff in HK or China of Anywhere

my words travel everywhere, so how about Paying this worker.....

the house I'd buy IF I won the lottery, is sold, or did some Billionaire buy it for me

the one above is right next door to it

and the one at top of the page would be a 3rd choice

It's nice to dream

without dreams you are already dead

Sandcastles in the air my mum used to say

and my dad used to say if he won money he'd buy all of us a house

he had 6 children, i'm 5 of 6,

I have 2 student daughters, so far

you never know the future, and if you can speed type....

p.s. how did I buy my house, the old house we left 5 years ago

I was walking the dog and he lifted his leg and christened it, then I noticed it was for sale

I went home down the other hill, told my dad and he immediately jumped on a bus

he knocked on the door and had a look, he came home

Michael, buy that house, so I did

and that was where I lived for over 30 years

and that is where I did my writing, until I moved up the hill

the old house with the Totoro house number

somebody was reading this below so I've brought it back

For China and their Deliberations

michaelgcasey09/11/2021UncategorizedEdit

As you know Shanghai is where my Chinese family are

As you also know that’s partly why my daughters are so clever and pretty

or maybe they get it all from me?

I also like a bit of Art, if you’ve spotted the backgrounds

I like Icons too, and I should pray far more, though 6 hours trying to sleep these past 5 months or so as Tinnitus has got worse during the night, so I do pray and curse, when will my Tinnitus go away. And it does take an hour to calm down once I wake up to face the day. So Here are some Chinese Icons.
