23 occurs when change is needed or coming

23 is a pivotal moment  !

A Game Of Chance

Is knowledge always an asset ?  Well not always as my cousin found out out when he made a bet with a seasoned football fan. Such was this mans obsession with putting his money where his beliefs were, he took on a small wager regarding an up and coming football match with my relation, who knew or cared nothing for the sport. My cousin was totally ignorant of any football knowledge at all. Period.  In fact he only entered into the wager to shut the football fan up.  Of course my cousin  won the bet, much to the disgust of the obsessive fan. When it comes to situations of chance or random outcomes, then knowledge can be a poor indicator of the situations conclusion. A person of vast knowledge has nothing over another in the game of chance, and what is life if not a game of chance ? Chance makes a mockery of us all. Life is just a roll of the dice in the end. All the knowledge in the world cant guarantee success. It may help, but rely on it at your peril...

In Heaven (Eraserhead; David Lynch; 1977)

I


I first watched David Lynch's surreal film Eraser Head as a teenager. Its an odd, very dark film set in a nightmarish and overly industrial landscape ( comically so )  The films general subject is about becoming a father, and the terrible re-balancing a man suddenly has to do in how he views and relates to others around him. Well thats my take on the film today. You see after becoming a father, I now see a whole new film before me, twice as weird, and twice as disturbing and twice as revealing. Its funny how your perception of a film can change over time...

The Essence of 23 - Get Out !

Its a wonderful thought that a journey of terrible change eventually leads to a full circle as we return to where we set off from, but as weve changed this cannot be the same point we originally started out from - its an enhanced place now, enhanced by the journey weve just completed. Beautiful !!!  A true progression indeed. This has lifted my spirits !

As Essential As Sex

I dont care how old a man is, whether he has a family or not, or whether he has a fast car or not. I do however know that it is essential for the nourishment of a mans soul, to once in a while put his foot down and race a fellow road user for a crazy few minutes. Childish ? Dangerous even ? I remember a time when people could weigh up sensibly the risks of their actions and have a little fun accordingly. Today I did just that. Even if it was a silly 60 seconds of trying to regain my lost youth, then I feel the brief exercise has been worthwhile. Two men had a smile put on their faces for a few minutes this afternoon, and I think thats a rarity nowadays. Job done !

A Spoonful Of Sugar....

This is not as crude, or as stupid as it sounds. There must be a point where its healthy to let go of whatever were struggling with. I would never suggest giving up as that's lazy, but maybe there are times when we need to  move on to tackling the next task in hand. Getting stuck in a rut and obsessing about achieving a goal can lead to serious damage. I admit its one of my weak points, or maybe its a strong point ? I guess there is a fine line between the two, and I don't know anyone who can judge at exactly what point it is that their perseverance starts to cost them a little more than that which is healthy.
 

I did a survey, Im only 5 % emotionally stable. Of course you've figured that out already...lol

 

It Has Always Been This Way

Spring will soon be upon us, and on the first sunny warm weekend there will be the unveiling of a Winters work and creative input. Cars that have been built over the dark months will suddenly be roaring down the main street in various modified guises. An explosion of sound and colour and more than a hint of melancholy will arise in me as I watch them race past.

Secondly, and more controversially, girls who are reaching a certain age and are suddenly fully aware of it, will be taking trial runs of near nakedness in the earliest Spring sunshine. What has been distilling over the dark wet Winter months will be outed. A grand unveiling if you will. Things will never be the same again for them...or for their alarmed parents either I guess. The cycle continues. Is this not the true essence of Easter ? Pagan wise that is. And on this odd note I shall end.

A Basic Human Right ?

Bring back the option of leaving school at 16

Just how did the education Nazis take over  ? !

 For a good measurement of a persons intelligence, we need to look at the tasks in which they fail, rather than the tasks that they can complete.

Grey Windy March Day...

Its a grey windy, dry, gloomy March evening. The roads are dry and grey, the land is a dirty brown  mixed with a hint of a green colour. The wind is in the North, but its no so cold. Ive seen this scene so many times, and its making me weary. Its the first sign of Spring, and the time thats known as The Ides of March.. Wars are planned, people start thinking about moving house or changing their lives in some way. A dangerous time to spend too long in anyones company, as its highly likely you will hear something said you dont want to hear oddly. Im exhausted but have had a few hours sleep this afternoon despite my wifes friend landing round with her little girl. I had just got in the bath as well...In some ways I feel ive re-charged my batteries a little today, but for a long while ive felt like ive been alive for a long, long while. I have little enthusiasm for much more of this plod. Not that ive a bad lot in life, just that its been such a long drawn out affair. Im tired of time, whatever that means.

Today is as grey as my profile photo.  

Orbs

Its a full moon and everything is annoying me at the moment... I have recently joined a online group who post pictures of Orbs they have captured. Of course as with any group there are gullible people, fakers and some genuinely impressive people to, some of which actually have a sense of humour. But boy are there a few touchy ones ( yeah, the female ones with fake profile pictures, so, so pretty ).So whats my gripe today ?
    Well, its people who place an outline of whatever they want to see over a blurry photograph. Its a stupid and a lax way to try and convince others that you understand what youre seeing. Of course all photographs of such things are open to all interpretations, so leave them that way. If you need to add a template to enhance the idea your pushing, then may I suggest that what your " pointing out " is not visable, or maybe just in your head. I mean any fool can do that. Where does it end ?
  There also seems to be a default view that all such things are cuddly and positive. Challenge this view and things become a little tense. Again what proof do you have that these Orbs are benign ? A little caution must be healthy. If whats within looks a bit disturbing, then at least admit so and dont sugar coat over this. 99% of people do this and its hacking me off. Oh, that and blogger...


 



 Of course, such a likeness there....

Rock Around The Block Tonight

Thats done it. Ive finally blocked a person I know on facebook who has been actively trying to annoy me for months. He posts various photographs of where I live as his page header, his status updates, are frankly not what he thinks at all, or are just plain bullshit ( and he knows it ) he posts profile photo's imitating someone in my family, and befriends people just to annoy me, the list goes on...Its people like this that make me limit who I add to my friends list. How can that be right ?  Worst of all this will probably not stop this computer savvy individual, but Im dont care at the moment as I feel a bit better already !
