About me:

. . . . .consciousness has three components: 1) our rational analysis - the rene descartes of our cognitive experience and processes. 2) the romantic - our experience of the "now" of our existence (the stuff that makes us bungee jump and swim in shark infested sea's) and 3) quality - which embodies the principle of sync and spontaneous ordering of all systems from simple to more complex ones. faster, bigger, better! this site celebrates all three components. ..

    Yes we are but not tonight.  Metal band on next friday though.  YES!!! ha ha.  I've got a feeling you could be doing your poor wife's head in right now.  Am I right?  I sometimes think I need to get into your head to discover the source of what's coming out of it to properly understand where you're coming from.  Even then I may be confused ha ha.  But probably not xxx

    I'm fine thanks, Eben.  Had a very minor surgical procedure that I requested so being careful with my stitches.  It's not stopping me doing much though really.  Amost finished all of the hard work on mam's house too.  Things are good. 

    You seem to be swinging from one extreme to another, bonnie lad.  Don't forget to relax sometimes.  You shine so brightly you're in danger of burning out otherwise xxx

    Ha ha.  Why would I even want to get you started?  But as it's you I'll say that your brother and I have something profoundly in common.  I can't go into details without describing the circs which is an epic tale in itself I suppose and not exactly cheerful or simple to put into chronological order.  Could take a lifetime or at least the rest of mine.  Sticking around???  Hope so. 

    Had a hard day wallpapering and need to vedge in front of the x factor now.  Enjoy your evening, bonnie lad xxx

    Thanks Eben.  I did read it.  Very profound!!!  The spirituality of your typical Piscean is such a big part of them it's their reality so i've actually no idea what you want to know.  But you're free to ask whatever you like.  Don't blame me if I confuse you though ha ha.  I'd love to know what's on your 'to do' list actually. 

    We enjoyed the band and I'll pass on your regards when he gets up.  Hope you enjoy your weekend, bonnie lad.  I feel I must go wish the youngun one too xxx

    Fine thanks,  Eben.  I'm sorry about your friend.  I always read your blogs but often don't know what to say and such was the case.  I cried actually.  I love positive people.  They're so good to be around.  Going to get ready in a mo cos we're going out to see a band.  Luckily I've had a good rest after my labours at mam's this week.  The end is in sight but part of me doesn't want it to end.  I've really enjoyed spending time there and giving it a complete revamp. I've exorcised it.  It's no longer full of unhappy memories of my teenage years but full of love and happy times spent with mam when she needed me and i needed her too.  I need someone to look after.  Lucky Dave!!! ha ha ha.  Shame he hates fussing but he's going to have to put up with it or I'll buy a puppy ha ha.  Hope you're doing ok.  I'd better go and ransack my wardrobe xxx

    She's too late.  I have another tenant who's moving in on 27th.  She's already with the agency I've been using so she's got good references.  The lady from CT was still living in CT.  I need my rent asap to reimburse myself for the money spent on the refurb. 

    I need to put my feet up and watch tv for a couple of hours.  Been through mam's all day today and yesterday and back again in the morning.  Got a troublesome radiator in one of the bedrooms and i think i've broken the landing light switch.  xxx

    I despise facebook!!!!!  Had an account to keep in touch with my lads in case either of their phones weren't working.  Then I got 'found' ha ha.  Tried to delete it actually but have had to freeze it instead.   I may set up another using a different email address and if I do I'll let you know but I'd rather just wait until you got around to coming on here.  Almost had a South African tenant for mam's house but she was more interested in buying it and I'm not selling.  She was living in Capetown and her sister already lives in the area xxx
