The weather outside is crappy
but we are happy
to be alone
outside is nuts
inside
we are having fun
no if & or buts
we don't need popping corn

no need for ointment
let the wind blow
we've got our own show
let it snow
who cares if the fire has gone out
we'll keep each other warm

Training
Over the next few days I will be away doing karate training. I am looking forward to the training and seeing many old friends. It will be a good opportunity to see where I have improved and what I still have to work on for my next belt. The most important thing is to examine my own strengths and weaknesses and find ways to develop further as a person. It is true this is not easy but overcoming your own doubts and deficiency is part of learning.

The Ballad of Cat and Mouse
If I stick my head in the rug
before you come in
you might be surprised
when you trip over my head and fly
a strange way to greet a friend
but it will give your day some spice
don't worry about the mice
they're dining out with the cat
they will be moving in together
in the new flat down the road
which they bought
from your money
which they stole
after selling their souls
to the highest bidder
for horseradish and cheddar

Contemplating Contemplation
Contemplating contemplation is that a way of saying that you want to critically analyze the way you think? We all need to examine our thought processes and see why we think the way we do. It could be that we unknowingly are holding on to things that are preventing our further development. A spring cleaning for the mind! Why not? If we can clean our place of living, we can also do this for our mind. To do this you need some time to yourself and the will to do it. That is something I will be working on in the coming days. I am intriqued to see what will come out of it!

Keyboard:The Adventure
Over the past several days I have had some difficulties with the computer's keyboard. I type in one letter and I would get fifteen! When I would try and delete the others, suddenly the keyboard would not work. At first, I thought there must be a problem with the connection or with the cable. After poking around, the connection and the cable both seemed to be okay. Then suddenly when I started trying to do things, it would start up again. A keyboard with a sense of humour! Sometimes it would allow me to type one word and then stop. If it was in a bad mood one letter. Yesterday, it went on vacation and did not work at all. I imagined it was having a grand laugh enjoying the weather. I said shag it and went out and did the same.

About Writing
Night is wonderful. It is a great time to sit back and reflect on daylight's adventures. This "quiet time" is useful to help unwind, relax, examine yourself and the world around you. It is a great time to write and explore the possibilities that writing can give you. Some times you come out of it with a lot, other times sporadic sprinkles. What matters is that you undertake the opportunity and pursue it. Some times you may go without sleep but it is worth it. A piece may make you feel like you are falling to pieces to get it right but other times and other works flow marvellously. This is what we all go through. You know a piece is ready because it feels right, it touches you or moves you in some way. For me, when I write something and I end up crying after writing it, I know I have found something valuable and beautiful at the same time. I think that all who write strive for this, to make it happen as often as possible. It is a wonderful thing to see something that you have written move someone else. That is one of the joys of sharing your writing with the world.

Some days you feel like you've been hit by a truck and other days you feel like a dancing butterfly. Most days come and go like the water in a flowing stream. We all have highs and lows in our lives, which tends to colour our perspective on existence.

My Computer's Vacation
These past couple of days have been troubling. Mostly because my computer went on vacation. I hope it had an enjoyable time. Maybe it was discussing with friends the way to milk diverse reactions from those who have become dependant on it. I can imagine one possible discussion...Watch the humans blow a fuse...Wow, look at his face turning all those funny colours...I wonder what will happen if we try this...Hey, this is better than watching a movie! Let's change the background picture to see how he'll react...Look out candid camera.
It was a vacation for me as well, it made my life quieter but I was filled with a sense of being disconnected from many friends whom I could normally reach via email or chat. Technology gives us many benefits but it also has a down side. It is important to adapt to technology but at the same time not to forget how to communicate & work with others when it goes on vacation.

Debunking Doubts
We all have doubts, that is a part of living. At some point in our lives it is important to face them and see what are they really? Fear? Excuses? Obstacles? Self-limiting thoughts? Safety valve? They are a combination of all these things. No one living wants to see themselves screw up or make a fool of themselves. We all want to be respected and valued for who we are. The doubts are there to tell us that we might not be doing something so brilliant or spectacular as what we think. Fear tells us that if we fail we will be worse off than before. We are afraid of losing what we have, excuses arises to lull us back into our comfort zone, making obstacles seem even more unsurmountable than before. Let's face it, if you really want something it involves risk and working for it. A gold medallist spends countless hours preparing for competition as does the person who comes in last place. They train hard and push themselves to be the best they can, but do not always come in first place. It is a good feeling when you realize that you have improved(without doping) in spite of risk of injury. In the end the Gold medallist might get more recognition, but everyone has won something from it. Pushing yourself to find your boundaries teaches you that you can get better and improve your skills. There will be always be critics, often the hardest critic is yourself especially when you do not reach your goals. Anyone can give up, you do not need a Phd to quit. Be determined, face your doubts and show them that they are mirages, that will fade with your growing self-confidence.
Health and Deadlines
Thought cannot be forced, like trying to turn a turnip into a tomato. You can try but will you get the results you want? Probably not. Looking for solutions to challenges comes with effort, and time. The key is to realize when you have reached the point of exhaustion and should pull back to give yourself a rest. Otherwise you will feel like dead wood. The time you spend in hospital recovering from not taking a break, will end up being quite long in comparison to having done so. Taking your focus away from the challenge for a while, will give you a chance to relax and free yourself from the stress. Quite often, the solutions arise during the time your focus is elsewhere. Deadlines are important, just make sure you don't end up sacrificing your health to do it.

Mottos and Living
My motto has always been "expect the unexpected always". It has been a way to prepare for anything and everything. Why? Am I afraid that something really weird is going to happen? perhaps it is just a habit that I have conditioned myself to be ready. You could say that it is a monumental waste of energy, preparing for disasters or surprises that never appear. Maybe it is a fear of being unable to react when a reaction is necessary. Whatever it is, it is a part of me. It must be examined and changed to meet with the circumstances under which I now live. Easier said than done. All of us have things within us that we must re-evaluate to see if they help us with our lives or if they hinder our growth and development. We change, we grow, we live. This journey we are on challenges our beliefs, our perspective of the world and the things around us. It is easy to stay like a locked door and ignore the knocking outside. That does not help us to understand other people or ourselves. Encountering others challenges us to examine ourselves and our beliefs. When we talk to others we get a different perspective, we might not agree with it but it shows us that there are other ways of doing things, living and seeing the world. Being able to face differences is not difficult, to learn from the differences and respect them as being valid is one of the greatest challenges that Humanity has today. Unlock the door, by keeping it closed you are only diminshing your opportunities for friendship ,understanding and building a bridge between cultures. We all share this planet we live on. We need to learn to work together.

Look Around
Spring is a wonderful time for the awakening of the imagination. Nature is reviving after winter's break. If you look there are many things going on around you. Stop and take a look, wherever you are. Often we are in rush and do not really see what is happening because we are in a hurry to get to work, school or an appointment. This shuts us out from experiencing the world around us. By slowing down a little bit or stopping for a while you might see something you never noticed before. A chipmunk scurrying up a tree, something new on a building you walk by everyday. Open yourself up and see what is going on. You will be surprised!

I admit I am new to using this kind of forum to openly reveal my thoughts. For me it is a battle against my inner censor which is very critical. To be a writer, I must overcome this inner hinderance and show my face to the world. This tug of war may never stop but it is a step towards seeing if what I write will come across to people. I look forward to your feedback in the coming days ahead. My journey starts here.
