Be More Like Daniel !

Image
                                                              Daniel went to school today in a dress ! Daniel even decided to wear makeup today simply because he felt like it . He had no hidden agenda , he had no upbringing that would suggest that at some stage in his life he would want to do this . Daniel was not the son of gay parents , and was certainly not predisposed as a child simply acting out . No Daniel was simply bored with being dressed boringly compared to his female friends and schoolmates .He simply looked at himself one day in the full length mirror in his bedroom , and decided something had to change .                                                               His parents Terence & Grace , never really restricted Daniel to rules with regard to his development . They were of the opinion that Daniel at times liked to play and behave outside of the proverbial bubble he lived in . Never wanting to shock , but always wanting to experiment was Daniels way of expressi

AMRAK And my Thoughts of Buddha !

Image
                                                                            I've been playing around with a few things in my head recently , things that normally wouldn't bother me . But the other day I was befriended by someone who just simply bumped into me . I was walking in town , minding my own business and lost in my own thoughts , and lately thoughts were gonna be the last thing I was going have pit-patting around in my brain . Man there I go again , drifting away from the significance of the piece . Anyway , this guy  who bumped into me , apologized , and then proceeded to ask me for a cigarette . I think it was obvious that I smoked , butt hanging from my lip was a dead giveaway , he then joined me in smoking that cigarette and we sat down on an empty bench . Anyone who smokes will tell you , best place to enjoy a cigarette is while sitting .                                                                            He introduced himself , Amrak was his name and he h

" Jinnyjoe Head "

                                                                                I was out in the garden yesterday , you know , pruning for the winter season and such . It was quite blustery , in fact there were a lot of speedy gusts about blowing me and my plants all over the place . Expected I suppose at this time of year , though not welcomed by me especially ! You see I suffer from what is commonly termed " Flyaway Jinnyjoe Head " ! It's not something I worried or cared about previously , but as the years go by it's beginning to be less funny . Sure , I used to laugh it off when after being in the garden for any length of time I passed by an offending mirror only to be faced with the " The Flyaway Jinnyjoe Head " . And really it was something to behold !                                                                               Now as most of my friends and family would attest to how neat perky and tidy my hair has always been , to someone else this

Cynicism Maybe ? But I Don't Wanna Be A Fool !

Image
I Don't Wanna Be A Fool !                                                                           Continuing from where I left off six months ago , I am still in awe of everyone's ability just to wake up every morning and get on with their lives . It has taken these six months for me to come to terms with all that has happened . The time taken has given me renewed energy and thought to piece together where and how I went from being unavailable , to suddenly becoming available . I have to thank my wife for her continued understanding and support , without which I just couldn't have continued my reading and comprehension of what it truly means to be human . You see she has that sort of energy , she's extremely thoughtful that way . She possesses the one true element of human nature that sadly I and so much more of us lack ! Restraint !                                                                           She will be embarrassed for bringing this to everyone

The Immovable Object !

                                                                        The lengths we go to just to assert ourselves .The time we spend just wanting not approval but validation in our everyday lives . You see the great obstructions in our lives , the things that stop us from progressing and going forward ,are the things we have created ourselves as part of our defence mechanisms , that will only allow us to go so far . Will only allow us to take two steps forward and always one step back . What is it that restrains us all ? Why are we so unforgiving of ourselves ? I mean we haven't committed some unspeakable crime or crimes that need to be hidden away . That need us to move house , lock stock and barrel , just to feel safe and whole . That make us feel less challenged , and maybe , just maybe a little less uncomfortable ?                                                                         We have all taken the weight of the world on our not too broad shoulders and made it ou

How AMAZING it is to Just Talk to You !

Image
                                                                       I have been writing quite a few years now , and it never ceases to amaze me where my readers come from and just how powerful the internet is . Today I would like to welcome readers from Nepal , Bangladesh and India to our enlightened pages . Just goes to show the power of sharing !                                                                        Hitherto I wouldn't have had any reason to assume the importance of anything I have written , but as time goes by I go over many of the blogs I have written and each time I do that I get a better understanding not just of the blog , but also why I wrote the thing in the first place . Because believe me , when I sit down and do exactly what I'm doing now , I have no agenda , I have no notes beside me reminding me of what I have to say or more importantly how to say it. Hence , and without apology , The understanding you might take away from it , can be so m
