Part A

This week's blog entry is split in two parts, A & B. Part A is a 'normal' piece...

A

Although, I have planned this post, on paper, my first note of Part A, was made totally on to my phone's 'notebook'.

Everything happens for a reason, but only by looking historically can we see how fate has worked, leading ourselves or anyone in particular on a certain path. No-one can accurately predict or plan the future. The world would be a completely different place, if here at all, if we could accurately tell the future.

My next note implies the use of a swear word. I refrain from actually using it, don't worry.

' Oi Oi Oi! Get your ****ing hands off my chair! ****!'

It may sound weird, but I HATE to be pushed around. OK it is fair enough/desired if I am in a manual wheelchair, i need it. But when someone attempts to push my powered-wheelchair, I find it so so so demeaning and degrading. I am often tempted to drive it anyway (so they look and feel almighty and powerful). Then I hit 'REVERSE'. Hohoho, not lauging now are ya? Now they understand.

A CD which  was only released on Monday just gone, was  'The 2nd Law' by Muse. I may be wrong (or be missing a CD), but it is the seventh album of theirs. Whilst they could be named pioneers of 'space rock', and yet again they produce some stomping, powerful tunes, I feel that any of the tunes would not feel out of place on any of their previous albums. Therefore it is full of power.

Muse - Panic Station

As you may have gathered from this blog, I try and be positive in everything that I do (realising that all actions can be viewed both positively and  negatively). As I also believe that things equal out, I do not attempt to hide from the fact that, I can be seen as living in hope or expectation. Is this mostly good, or mostly negative? Who knows.

Anticipation...

As proven regularly by this blog, I find that often my mind races ahead of me. Perhaps this sounds arrogant, but I hope not. I find that I often am forced to rely on mental strengths, compensating for physical deficiencies. Fear not, I do not attempt to claim superior mental strength to anybody, but personally, I find that my mental strength so much more superior than my physical strength, this is how i would attempt to solve a problem.

A good article in a recent magazine (issue 1 of 'Cyclist'), identified by both a London Dynamo friend (recent team-mate) and myself, was entitled 'Why ride a bike?'. When creating my own answer, I quickly created a list of reasons, falling into two groups (1. Reasons that can be given to everyone, and 2. My personal reasons):

1.

Health and Fitness

Speed

Competition

Mechanical beauty

Aesthetic beauty

2.

Physiological requirements

Design

Sport

Ecological-plus

Independance
