Day 810: The Life with a Hole in it

I don't post much of Philip Larkin because to put it bluntly (because he certainly does) -  he's a pessimistic git.  But a great poet nonetheless. 

Although bleak - stamped as it is with a heavy dose of Larkin's characteristic cynical realism - this poem challenges you to think what it really is you want to be doing with your life, and to do it, before time slips by and make's a miserable old git of you too. It is almost, I think, an invitation to rail readers into defying it, rebelling against it.


The Life With a Hole in It - Philip Larkin

When I throw back my head and howl
People (women mostly) say
But you've always done what you want,
You always get your own way

- A perfectly vile and foul
Inversion of all that's been.
What the old ratbags mean
Is I've never done what I don't.

So the shit in the shuttered chateau
Who does his five hundred words
Then parts out the rest of the day
Between bathing and booze and birds
Is far off as ever, but so
Is that spectacled schoolteaching sod
(Six kids, and the wife in pod,
And her parents coming to stay) . . .

Life is an immobile, locked,
Three-handed struggle between
Your wants, the world's for you, and (worse)
The unbeatable slow machine
That brings what you'll get. Blocked,
They strain round a hollow stasis
Of havings-to, fear, faces.
Days sift down it constantly. Years.

  7. I needed to repair my credit quickly. My divorce is final and debt was in my name. I was ordered to pay off the bills since the bills were in my name. So I had about $35K in unpaid credit card debt, I became confused and worried. I don't know where to start, but I only have 6 months to refinance my car and 1 year to refinance my house. I began searching for help over the internet on how to fix my credit. So I saw PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST reviews all over the internet and like wow who’s this guy. I decided to take the risk even when I was still afraid. It's good to take risks sometimes. I've realized that people who do exploits are people who take risks. I contacted this guy and he explained to me everything about credit repair and how it works. I got excited. I learnt a lot from him. He increased my credit score to 811 (TransUnion) 809 (Equifax) 805 (Experian). He also removed all negative items and credit card debt from my credit report. I was able to apply for a new credit card with a higher limit which has been approved. All this happened so quickly within 6 days. All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. You can get them on: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM I sincerely recommend them.

  8. My credit score was stagnant at around 560 for TU, EX and EQ. Currently, I was waiting for my charge off and late payment to fall off. My credit goal is 780, which is 220 points from where I was. I was wondering if it was possible to increase my score by 220 points because of the late payments and charge off on my credit report. Until a friend directed me to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, I tell you I didn’t regret adhering to that advice to repair my credit. I’m better now and my credit score is 800s across board and all late payment and charge off has been removed permanently from my credit report. You too can contact them: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM

  9. Hi, I was trying to fix up my credit and unfortunately I had one negative item on my credit report, a charge-off from Bank of America from 2019 in the amount of $541. My credit score is a sad one: 543. I did pay the amount owed about a month ago, and my score only went up two points. The comments were changed to paid charge off, account closed by credit grantor. However, I was still saying CHARGE OFF in red under payment status. Last month I asked a question on this forum” Does anyone have any advice on what I should do to raise my score” and two members from this forum advised me to contact PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. Which quickly did as they said. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST came through for me, my credit report cleaned up with all negative items removed. My credit score is now 801. I now have 0 hard inquiries, 0 collections, 0 public records. I’m happy to have heard about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST here, you can contact him today via: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM OR Text +1 (402) 885 9847. They’re the best as far as credit repair is concerned.

  10. Hello guys my name is Lynne Riley, a few weeks back my credit score was nothing to write home about, my credit score was around 520 TransUnion, 517 Equifax and 600 Experian. I had a lot of collections, old phone bills, negative rentals on my rental report. I was on a credit forum in reddit when a lady wrote about DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION how they got to clear her debts and increase her score to a high 800. I quickly contacted them for repair assistance, to which I got a response. To my greatest surprise DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION cleared out all negative items on my credit report and increased my score to 801 TransUnion, 808 Equifax and 811 Experian. They also posted a very good trade line on my report. They are the best of the best. Hit them up via email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM OR Text +1 (713) 396-5299 and have your credit fixed today.

  11. Hello everyone! Ok…I’ll try to shorten this as best I can. After many years of marriage, I finally got divorced about three years ago. My ex-wife had major spending issues. Both of us have very good jobs. She is a physician and I’m a pharmacist/software engineer. We are both high earners, but she spent like the money was endless. We had a $2 million home in Miami, new cars every couple years, and her credit card spending was out of control. It was to the point that she was racking my credit cards up as well. I finally decided enough was enough and I left. Moved to the other side of the country with extreme amounts of debt. In a two years period I paid off almost $240,000 of debt. Some of it had gone to collections, and some of it had not. But my credit score was in the toilet. I have been a software engineer for a long time. I had not practiced pharmacy in many years though I kept my license active. My software engineering has always been around pharmacy systems. So, I started working three jobs. Software engineer during the day, working as a pharmacist part time during the evenings and weekends, and doing telephonic patient counseling for medication. I was constantly tired. But paid off every penny of the debt I had including student loans. I owe no one anything now. The real problem was my credit score was in the mid-600s. That was equally embarrassing. I went a little crazy looking for hackers to help me increase my credit score until a colleague recommended DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION to me. I quickly searched about them and discovered they had so many positive reviews that I quickly contacted them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / I also gave them a call +1 (713) 396-5299. They responded swiftly, and I explained my predicament to them, which they accepted to boost my credit score to an excellent score. To my greatest surprise after 9 days, I got a call from them by 7:00AM to confirm my current credit score, which I quickly logged into Credit Karma and discovered my score has been boosted to 800s across the credit bureaus. They also deleted all the collections and inquiries on my credit report. I have no regrets working with DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION. Hit them up if you have any credit related issues. I’m now well qualified credit wise.

  12. I had a $400 fresh account with Fingerhut, after realizing the amount of interest they were charging me (I didn’t know about credit at the time), I decided to close the account. I called the customer service phone number and requested the representative to close the account. Monday, January 8, 2024, I decided to check my credit report and noticed it has been open since 2020. Called the Fingerhut collection department regarding the account. How is it currently reporting open if I closed it in 2016? There’s a remaining balance of $495. My credit score was 502. I felt horrible and embarrassed. But my friend James introduced me to DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION, a credit repair company and they helped me to raise my credit score to 810 excellent standard and deleted all negative items on my credit report within 8 days. He also helped me increase my credit card limit to $15,000 and placed some good tradelines on my report. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION is the best amongst all, and his service is fast, secured and reliable without stress. Contact him by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / +1 (713) 396 5299, for any kind of credit repair. They’re swift in responding to any question.

  14. Helpful, Patient, and Professional

    We thoroughly enjoyed working with West and his team at HackWest(at)Writeme(dot)Com throughout our credit repair and home-purchasing journey. No matter how many times we called or texted West (or his team) with questions, we consistently received prompt and helpful answers in return. West always did well to explain things in layman's terms, which we appreciated as first-time homebuyers/credit repair. West and his team were kind, patient, professional, transparent, and willing to help whenever help was needed. They went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I felt comfortable with every decision we were making and took our credit score up to 798 within a few days and ensured we were able to buy our house. I strongly recommend you contact Hack West today. Please let him know Lyle referred you.
