ELAD23 — AKA Dale

Elad23 - Que?

Well... where to start... The main purpose of this site is as a place to publish some of my thoughts... and try and create some understanding... I find life a very interesting place... but well... also pretty fucked up... there is no "way" of doing things (even though we like to create rules and think that there is!)... and when things step from outside the norm.... we as a society scorn and poke fun. So this is me.... outside the norm... - well for a start I talk about my feelings.... and im a man! Now thats outside the norm. But more importantly im going to give people an incite into my little world.... yep its fucked up... but who says life has to be boring? Hopefully some people reading this and feeling some of the things I have felt over the years will have some comfort that the world is a fucked up place, some people are pretty fucked up also, and actually it might not be you.... but everyone else who is strange! - and maybe you will do things differently as I have made the mistakes already! Right... on that note where to start.... well this all began when I wrote an open letter to my close friends back in 2007.... so I would start there.... lovingly titled... "OK so I admit it". Elad :)

Jujus

4 June 2026

Its been a nice few weeks of keeping myself occupied… to say the least… A week in Malaga with work, followed by a few days in Budapest for no real reason than because I felt like it and then down to Greece to see John and then a night in Venice – as it was an easy way to get to…

Dating :)

25 May 2026

I don't really do labels. But when someone you really like tells you that what you have together has started to feel more and more like dating, it turns out that's quite a nice thing to hear. So yes. I am dating someone. And I am genuinely happy about that. I will be honest —…

AI - Claude as a Shrink

10 April 2026

So... as I am now the apparent "Head of AI" in evil corp... I asked my new friend Claude to take in all the data I have on my relationships; loves; loses... and give me honest feedback.... The input data is: - WhatsApp conversations with specific people - My old existing blog…

Relationships and the ones that shape you...

10 April 2026

A personal reflection — April 2026 We all have relationships with different levels of stickiness. Different things bind them together and make them work. Some are friendships, some are family, some are built on love — and some are all three at once. But whatever they are, they…

Jersey vs. IoM

18 March 2026

This weekend I went to Jersey... It has been on my radar to go there for a number of years, but I have not ever got around to it. Last week I was in London for my boss' leaving drinks and as the route back to IoM was looking choppy with flights and boats cancelled I took the…

Things are looking up...

8 February 2026

After the superb end to last year which saw me return to doing some things I have not done in a loooong while... January was set to be a bit of a downer. I had manflu which I was struggling to shift and the weather on the island was not just bad it was horrific!!! But I had…

Bumpy Start to 26

16 January 2026

It was a few days after my birthday when I got a call from my best friend Dave to wish me happy birthday. Usually I get a text telling me I am an old fart and I haven't visited... but he called this time. I always love it when Dave calls as we just can talk crap for hours! This…

End of 25...

16 January 2026

Well what an end to 2025! It started off not so great with me trying to get to meet a guy I am interested in, but seems that he ended up being ill so it didn't happen. I decided I would get the ferry from Dover to Calais then go across France and look at houses in midi-pyrenees…
