ELAD23 — AKA Dale

Me, myself and I — written from the Isle of Man.

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".

Tranquility

27 July 2026

At 43 I ticked over the "£1m in assets" mark. I'd been watching it get closer and closer for years... then the whole mess with my ex happened and I lost track. Money didn't matter much after the break up. I just used it to try and make myself happy — flying all over the place,…

Post Funeral

8 June 2026

After last Thursdays post about the funeral... I was super upset that Mark sent me a text a few hours before the funeral to tell me he had not booked the day off, had not kept track of messages and now would not be coming to the funeral as he could not get the day off. I was…

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 —…
