As I change the colour scheme of my blog, the premier league is dominated (bought?) by a new team, and we experience ridiculously hot temperatures in early October (it feels like July). Hmmm, the world is strange!
Anyway. I am refusing to discuss football (life?) at the moment. 100% focus could be fortunately diverted to my alternative sporting passion, cycling (see previous post, below). My phone is full of notes this week. So, fun fun fun for you, a large post typed caffeine free.
Perhaps, as usual, my first note exclaims my favouritism of selecting a cd to listen to, rather than scrolling through a never-ending playlist. OK, I may be 'old-fashioned', and the world is changing, but i feel that it is a shame that people aren't having the simple tactile interaction with a 3D 'album'. I am getting old (we all are), and i begin to realise how others have felt in past about the evolution of 'listening to music'.
...."whatever" i hear you say, i shut up and move on.....
The next note is my light-hearted admission that 'heard turning is funny'. I spent time sitting outside a street-side cafe in the sun, reading. I was focussed on reading, but often got distracted, and my head made to turn by some female sights on the high-street. Now, I know the sun means a lot of 'attractive sights', but it's funny sitting on a high street watching as a girl turns every male head walking down the high street. Should it be criminalised, deliberately dressing in a way causing a high street full of accidents/collisions/etc? I am given relief that i am just reacting as any male would. I have missed out on this social behaviour, 'inside' in a hospital or rehab home.
Next note, is telling us that 'positivity breeds positivity'. By this, I simply mean 'if you smile, i guarantee that causes someone else to do the same.' This is why it is so important to portray happiness and a good mood. I guess that I am forever repeating myself, by saying this over and over again. I find it easy to notice in a wheelchair, that often it seems that everyone is expecting you to be in a foul mood, and they are pleasantly surprised by being smiled at by a disabled wheelchair user, so they return the smile. Goal achieved, happy happy happy (drug free, well maybe caffeine is involved).
As a brain injured graphic designer, I try to compensate for two of my loves using imagery (posters, postcards, graphics, etc). Next to my hifi and cds, I have a large framed photo of me cycling with a clubmate in France. Right next to an old lap tray depicting a cat. Although i do not miss cats, I do love them. Cycling is something that i continue to have interest in, and i have just ordered a 'home/trainer' which hopefully will be as good as I look forward to it.
Myself (in Black) riding alongside a clubmate and good friend in the 2006 'Stephen Roche ride', north of Paris.
Mmmeeeeeeeow!
Uploading these two images are two personal images that i draw regular comfort from.
Next, I often like to day dream of whatever (I sometimes dream at night time now, i haven't for the previous 4 or 5 years). But, er, yeh. I realise that it is human nature to always want more, or want something that you cannot have. Desire. So so important. It provides us with the drive to improve things and therefore ourselves. Everyone has it, making human beings so wonderful.
