Simu Date, Circa Now

Why does there always seem to be a direct correlation between the magnitude of a bad date to the older we become? Does turning 28 really turn you into flypaper for freaks?

Case in point - "Carrot Man".
Date 1 47mins in: (yes I was timing.... this was the highlight). Carrot Man informs me that he just "cannot possibly consume carrots.... they grow in the ground you know..... they are practically a root."
52 mins in: I couldn't resist. "what about potatoes? I noticed you just ate those. Isn't that a double standard?"
55 mins in: End of date (I think my question struck a nerve).

So now I am left wondering..... are there still men out there that are not carrot bigots. Or do I just need to accept what is fast becoming my reality?

Storm

It's storming outside. The windows are shaking!
Reminds me of just how insignificant we really are.
And it's only a mild storm compared.

Lessons Learnt

Life Lesson 1: I didn't think. We couldn't find the best solution

Life Lesson 2: "Best if we keep it quiet instead. Everyone here's to blame and we are caught up in the pleasure and the pain"

Life Lesson 3: No matter how many life lessons we think we get.... Until you believe enough to make changes you will never really learn anything.

My Dream

I dreamt last night I was in a freezer. It wasn't on. It was dark and I was just sitting in it. And not one of those big ones either. One of those 1/3 fridges that sit on top of a fridge.
Could this be the start of the end? Do I need to call the white van myself? :-)

Naming the Puppy - But only when it's all bad.

For some of us - in our minds we allow our sense of reason to be overridden by emotion. Rational thinking takes the place of that emotion as we distance ourselves and allow ourselves to escape the burden of those emotional "chains". A mind that never stops but constantly torn between a rational and logical sense of reason and the emotional confines we allow to permeate through our thoughts.

So easily identified yet so difficult to prevent. Maybe we are not supposed to beat it down? Perhaps it's the way we are meant to process? Whatever the reasoning it's almost too hard.

And that is why we do not name the puppy.

For Kitty

Kitty

I read this recently. For the start of the manifesto?
Have a play and see what you can come up with.

"She smiles at the future
Lives life magnificently
Executes justice on the earth
And places value upon humanity"

My First Blog

Well I think I have officially joined the geekiest of the geeks. My first blog!

What blows me away the most about the whole concept of blogging is that people are actually interested in reading others entries.

It's all very tragic really. Where we are headed down the tech road. We're headed to the point where we will be communicating with more people in more places around the world much more efficiently than imagined yet never really have to speak to anyone ever again (yep - even with the strong telco phone industry - where sms/mms etc are quickly taking the place of actual calls).

And the tech industry is dead? Yeah right!
