easy laziness

We have less and less need to use our brains, to problem-solve. Now we just search on EBay or Amazon, immediately. Ordering the answer, on our mobile phones! Humans are becoming more and more lazy (and yes, greedy as a result)!

Fruity juices will no longer be bought by myself, in plastic bottles.

I consider myself, when i review my basket midway through my weekly shopping at different supermarkets. Towards the end of my shop, I reach fresh ‘fruit and vegetables’’. Such positive thoughts towards such heathy foods are trapped beneath cellophane bags, plastic boxes and polystyrene packaging!

WHATTTT!!?…

Please stop and think about what you are choosing to increase demand in.

Surbiton is dominated by two large ‘high-street supermarkets’, both whom offer very similar deals. A close guess, 90% of ANYONE’S shopping basket contains food/products which are packaged in non-biodegradable plastics. I find this negligence from EVERYONE, to be obscene. Yes we all allow ourselves to pick the easiest option. Humans are becoming lazy, greedy and harmful, but we don’t care because it is just too easy!

Everyone thinks that ‘plastics ARE recycled, it is ok’…. WRONG, many plastics are shipped overseas, then dumped. Plastics are non-biodegradable. Plastics are entirely man-made, intended to last forever. Only nature can fully degrade itself. A plastic can be recycled, used  in another application, but the material will last forever. It doesn’t matter if we ship waste abroad, every country lives in ONE WORLD. 

The first of many shops of similar, ethical stances, that i hope to find…

Thom Yorke - Bloom (live from Electric Lady Studios)

• An amazing alternate, solo, live version of Radiohead’s opening track on ‘The King of Limbs’ album. As Radiohead, drummer Phil Selway provides a super rhythmic beat along to the original, however Thom Yorke introduces a piano arpeggio to provide the rhythm to this version, with stunning effect.

I have to constantly remind myself how lucky I am. This necessity is, in itself, a positive, as I can recognise how used to the ‘real world’ I am becoming!

I am just another human being, but I have no choice, in that I will forever be viewed by everyone, as an ‘outsider’ (or, ‘different’). Ever since I moved to live independently I have recognised this. Throughout rehabilitation-living, I feared it, but disregarded it as a forethought. But now I know. I love talking to good, deep people, I know that mental connections can be made. 

So many people who see the wheelchair before me, miss out! Yes, most people do. People who give more, receive more. Respect.

Oh man!!!!!

I am trying so hard to bite my lip!

I am sat in  a Kingston DeliCafe behind two squawking women discussing Brexit, and their opinions on ‘all those flipping Remainers’!

... I successfully remained silent!

I am proud in that I can control myself in situations I previously would have intervened (always polite)!

Apocalyptic silence

Truthfully, last week, at the start of the 2019 calendar, I felt that there were plenty of things that could be ‘posted on my Blog’. I am so glad that I have kept this blog alive. 

I NEED this blog

Alive, but it will probably continue at a slower rate.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2019... Wow!

I leave my flat on Tuesday morning (New Year’s Day). Apocalyptic silence all around, is weird and unnerving. This is a totally surreal experience, but lets us feel lucky, by realising much of what we have become used too. We all take life for granted.

A super newspaper article on the only MP who deserves such incredible respect, during this disastrous Brexit failure.

Caroline Lucas, uses an old law of carpentry as an analogy for what Britain must do when making such a huge decision.

‘Measure twice. Cut once.’

Let’s face it. Our planet is suffering. It may act like a wounded beast, we cannot know. We have hurt it, and continue to do so. We little more than hope.

All we can do, is increase public awareness, and act responsibly ourselves.

Please do your bit!…

Mathieu Delarue (Main character in Jean-Paul Sartre’s ‘Roads to Freedom’ trilogy), shows a wonderfully deep, but succinct period of self-reflection… 

Page 172 of ‘Iron in  the Soul’.

Deep. Sartre explains that we all may be feeling these varying emotions, which all have opposites, but we are ‘just like everybody else’.

Blogspot is NOT a web design package. Infuriating, as the colours are mixed up!

Beware of reaching too close to your ‘heaven’. Heaven is a different place for everyone. Humans all have desires, targets, or goals but keep moving them. If you ever get too close to heaven, you risk becoming trapped.

I met the bloke who invented the window sill…Absolute ledge!!!

Kathryn Joseph - From When I Wake The Want Is

Magical, mystical female with such sincere vocal powers, often haunting sounds are provided by the album. 

Bandcamp - ’Prodigiously talented and criminally underrated; Kathryn is one of Scotland's best-kept secrets. Her voice possesses the other-worldly quality comparable to Ms Newsom and Björk; but she is by no means of an ilk. Better compared with Anthony Heggarty; she is an artist in every way; unique and soulful, and at the core a beautiful unnerving truth.’
