Everybody loves Honesty , Even if it Hurts !

                                                                   Have you ever noticed how in some people , that the very reason they might be annoyed or upset with someone , isn't really the true reason in the first place ? Have you ever noticed while listening to someone either slagging someone off , or criticizing them , its practically never about the reason they just mentioned , and nearly always about the build up of stuff that has gone on before . The saying of the straw that broke the camels back comes to mind .                                                                   And if you are on the receiving end of this outburst , sure you probably haven't a clue what sent that someone off like that in the first place . It just doesn't make any sense to you . You weren't even there when whatever happened , happened .                                                                   So now you're in a dark place , none of your own making you are thinking

An Unimportant Cog !

                                                                        Wouldn't it be great if all of the things we entertain ourselves with , could be enough to put our collective minds at ease when it comes to the every day living of our lives ? Wouldn't it be just fine and dandy if we could all just go to sleep at night happy in the knowledge that everybody out there is being cared for , being looked after , being loved , without condition or malice ? These ideals should be the things we aspire to . These are the actions that need to happen , to maintain our existence in a world gone mental , where the only thing that's important is how high your eyebrows can be drawn .Or how thick you can appear to others without shame or remorse . These unimportant distractions are what keep the bulk of us entertained .                                                                         So what should we do I hear you say . Not another statement of how controlled we all are I he

Zadar , Croatia , A Little Piece of Heaven !

                                                                    Its important to keep some things private don't you think ? I mean you can't be sharing every little thing you do in your life on social media or anywhere else for that matter . Some things you just have to keep to yourself and store them away in some secret little place that you call safety . Safe from prying eyes , safe from the criticism of friends and family , and safe for you to visit when you decide you want to . With that in mind let me share with you , and I know you won't tell anyone , a journey that promised so much , and delivered so much more .                                                                    Ten days ago my wife and I went on holiday to a country I heard so much about but was always strangely reluctant to visit . I can't really explain the reason why I was reluctant to visit this country , but just accept the fact that it was never ever on my to go list .              

An Adventure in Parenting !

                                                                           I've been pretty quiet of late , and that was really a personal choice . Sometimes you just get tired having an opinion , especially when so many things surrounding that opinion can be misconstrued , or just suited to someone else's agenda .And these personal agenda's are not exactly healthy or good for you .                                                                           I try to be as honest as possible , just so that some things are not misunderstood . But as much as I try , a lot of things that should be easy to understand are completely lost in translation . Now I know that's not my fault , because the truth will always be nothing more than that , the whole truth and nothing but the truth .                                                                           Has someone died ? Has someone been forced to accept things that they normally would handle so easily ? No I don'

Learning to Re-Adapt ! An Obvious Solution !

                                                                          Be warned , I have no idea where this is gonna go , and I don't even care . I have reached that time in my life where considering what is acceptable to others , doesn't really do it for me any more . You see those days of minding your p's and q's has long since left my understanding of how things should be . Something is either right or it is wrong . To be pursued , or ignored at all costs . I have considered those grey areas where nothing is ever decided , and ultimately are always put on hold , until such time as someone else deems it fit for general consumption .You have to protect others emotions don't you ? You have to forsake truth for some makey up version of it haven't you ? . These are the things and positions in life I am not at all happy with .                                                                          When something happens to you in life be it good or bad , you

Jerome Silberman R.I.P You will be Sadly Missed !

Willy Wonka !                                                                         Being a little bit of a movie buff , I was really saddened today when hearing of the passing of the comedic genius that was Gene Wilder . Born Jerome Silberman in 1933 , he died today having suffered from Alzheimer's for some years . With wife Gilda Radner                                                                          In 1967 I remember going to the cinema to see the movie Bonnie & Clyde with Warren Beatty , Faye Dunaway , Gene Hackman , and the very very new Gene Wilder . From get go you couldn't be anything but impressed with his stage presence . Though it was a small part , he took the proverbial bull by the horns and made himself an act to be reckoned with . He would go on and make some other serious movies , but he really excelled when it came to comedy .

Are you That Coward Hilary ?

                                                                  When it comes to believing in what you have been shown and taught about people who decide to put themselves out there to be elected in various positions in life , you should be fairly certain about who you decide to give your vote to . It is no longer safe to assume that just because your family and their families before them chose to support a certain party , that you should continue with the same tradition .                                                                   For certain parties things will always remain the same , but in a lot of instances what they might have deemed , policies that would never be compromised , if you examine them closely enough something definitely different has been added to their agendas . No longer is the hand shaking , backslapping , broad smiling faces that greet you everywhere you go , enough to steal your vote from you . It is without doubt now , all important to make sure that
