Lucky Man

Quality tune. A bit old now but, my era. Yet another song title from The Verve, heading my blog. Hmmm. I must warn about the lack of comprehension of this post (possibly). I have just had my first independently home-made espresso (quick-fix), along with a delicious chocolate covered coffee bean. So you will not believe how fast I am typing!
Right, sorry, er where was I? Oh yeah, Urban Hymns is now playing very loud. This is the third (and peak) album from The Verve. Most will/should know this. For their first (of four) album, A Storm In Heaven,  the band were entitled Verve.
Alright, I'm calming down now. Basically, I want to explain, my theories. I am very very very lucky to still be here, typing this, as you should know. My situation has helped teach me things that I could sort of understand a bit before the accident, but needed to face facts.
Pre-accident, as a young 22 year old, I had the world open to me. I had a girlfriend to whom I was very close, a very good group of close friends, and an immensely strong, close family. However, personally, I somehow still wanted more. I had a dream/idea of living abroad, cycling (which I actively loved), and marrying some European supermodel. These were things that I wanted, but did not want to choose between the wonders I already had and these further dreams.
I was coming very close to the time in which I would have to make some big decisions. Unfortunately I had no say in these, being made for me by a car in Richmond Park.
As I lay in a hospital bed, after coming out of my coma, I realised, and was told, what had happened. It immediately killed off any idea  of 'dreams' I had had. Maybe this was a good thing, I had dreamt for too much.
So, although around four years have passed, I do realise how much I do have (for which I am incredibly grateful). I have been forced to realise how grateful that I should be to everyone/thing. I feel like I have learnt that it can be dangerous to dream for too much, because inevitably, you will not get it. However, it is important to dream to focus and create 'goals'.
Goals are attainable.
Right, ok, the coffee worked off a while ago and I'm now into some proper trippy bonus track on Urban Hymns. cya
