The years flew by but the days seemed to last forever. the paradox of the life/time continuum. haha 'the boundaries of the rural/urban continuum are becoming increasingly blurred', good old geographical days, i remember how we'd compare on how many I. Davies quotes and other quality phrases we'd fitted into the exams for geography a-levels, genius stuff. roche moutonee the best chocolate you'll ever taste, saggy valleys, discharge of moisture, (pointing at world map) this...is the world, basal slippage. wafl one continuous hobnobs and tea break. excellent.

breakdance, breakdance.

as he sat there he thought, 'no hair, no where'. what a ridiculous thought. maybe it was no air or no wear, his voice was not always clear inside his head when his thoughts didnt speak clearly to him.

went to see rambo recently, good stuff, crazy and brutal stuff but actually a very good war film, not really action film like the others, gruesome stuff.

sometimes i wonder why more people dont sing and dance in the street as they walk along, its amazing what social unacceptability and repression of expression can do to a mind, even one that really loves being free. repression of expression, wafl i like that one. believe me its awesome. aaaaahh a crazy guy. haha gotta love it.

its hard to do work even when i think i might not mind it these days, still trying to convince myself that the fact that uni is coming to an end should mean that i can do some work this term without too much long suffering effort, rather than it meaning that i can sack it off because its virtually over now. i'm still trying but the success rate of convincation is not so high so far. ah well its all good, RAAAAAAAAAVE.

really gotta love the party.

O

ding dong.

once i thought i was crazy, now i know that normal does not exist, so how can i be crazy?

These days too many people frown at the clowns that they bought to entertain them, the world is full of people thinking they need to be mature and grown up and forgetting altogether about responsibility.

love ya

How many apples in a bunch of grapes?

Three guys were travelling along the road in a car. As they entered Scotland they passed by a brown cow. The engineer said, 'The cows in Scotland are brown.' The physicist said, 'At least one cow in Scotland is brown.' The mathematician said, 'At least one side of one cow in Scotland is brown.' The fourth guy said, 'Why are you talking about how brown cows are?'
Ah the old ones are old.
Sometimes proof sucks, gotta love mystery really.

One time I wondered if I had a life. I wondered while wandering until I stopped wandering which stopped my wondering when I hit a wall which ended my wondering while wandering. The clout of my head on brick made me realise that the life I had was the one that was being wasted by worrying about the life that I had. All seemed a little pointless. Everyone knows you've got to love life to live it, but its true I think that if you aren't living it then you haven't got anything to love so get ouuuuuuuut there. Wafls, chill with the still.

The way to better yourself is to play an opponent more skilful than you.

Success is measured by countless hordes, contentment is measured by a single heart. Oh yeah, mmmmhmm, knows it.

All up with the phrases today, think thats enough for this early morning, I guess I'll see you when you see me. Indeedles.

Peace in

It's been a long time, Peter. Tiiiiiime. You might say. Or not. My love of full stops seems not to have diminished though, i'll take that as an excellent positive i think. Yes i will. Now i know.

I cant remember whats happened over the last nearly five months very much, i enjoyed a summer of doing nothing very much at all and now i've nearly finished university, or so it seems, the time does fly so. Or something like that.

In this time,

Many were born and many have died,
Some have lived and some are dead inside.

Have you lived?

So today is remembrance day, remembering all the dead people from wars. Those who have fought to protect our freedom. I understand that the soldiers are doing their duty and undoubtedly they do what they are told to do effectively. I have always found freedom a strange concept really though, a lot of times in the past it seemed to be fighting to stop someone else ruling over you, though possibly you were being ruled over in a similar way by the current people anyway. Nowadays in this country we attempt to police the world, and the thought sometimes occurs in my mind that we may be going rather beyond fighting for our freedoms. And as for the notion that we're fighting to free others, you don't have to look very far to see how much we've 'helped'. Anyway, politics is there for stability, and the power hungry virtually always get to the top of that particular ladder. When the power is only supposed to be used for good, the hunger to use the power leads to corruption. Etc. Its all far beyond my comprehension anyway, just help those that you can and smile a real smile or two.

Today (being yesterday), i listened to Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' a lot. 'Tis a tuuuuuuuuuuune. Been jogging this past week as well, its nice to have a little stamina occasionally i think, and it is beginning to seem that way as well now. Bonus. Done some work this week as well, tis indeed a rather strange time. Madness.

When all around are floating,
And you are floating too.
Yet you know your soul's too heavy
And your feet are turning blue.
When you're dangling on the edge
And then each finger starts cramping
When you slip and start to fall
And your face is ripe for planting.
When your skin and flesh is torn
And blood gushes from the wound
When you're a fledgling werewolf
And tonight comes a full moon
When all around are shouting
And that mob mentality
Is sweeping you and all around
To a maaaad insanity

Breathe.

Breathing is rather good for life,
It helps you live, you know.
It starts you off from birth,
When you stop its time to go.

Breathe, you know you want to.

Or possibly, Breathing. Just do it.
Excellent.

Today I leave you with a quote or three from Aldous Huxley (Author, Genius and Crazy Man)
"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards."
"There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. So you have to begin there, not on other people."
"Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you."

And he obviously liked using people's quotes as well, because he also said this,
"Things somehow seem more real and vivid when one can apply somebody else's ready-made phrase about them."

Speak again soon. 

Don't Stop Believing...

Love Pedro x x x

ah it really is lovely to be home, the sense of the absolute relaxedness in everything even more than usual. its OSSUM!!!

spent the last few days bathing in various weather conditions, rainbathing, windbathing and sunbathing. and sometimes even bath bathing. gotta love a bit of bathing really. baaaaaaaaaathe. it chills well.

One day a german went to town and bought a pebble or two. He started to build a beach. A pebble beach rather than a sand one because he realised over the years he'd bought quite a lot of stones and they were cluttering up his wardrobe and cupboard under the stairs rather a lot. At the time he didnt really think about the fact that to have a beach you really need a sea, but he was sure to think of that later. The beach did take a while to build, the stones were quite heavy and there were a lot more than he had originally thought, he found quite a lot of old stones that he had forgotten about altogether but now that he saw them they brought back vivid memories that he had to stop and reminisce about. There were also a fair few of stones that he had no memory at all of acquiring and although some did bring up flashes of recognition, many just gave complete blanks. A precious few stones, not precious in the sense that they were worth a lot of money, but priceless in his memory were incredibly hard to even place carefully onto the beach and walk away from. These took up the most time and though they laid heavily on him he really struggled to let them fall into the mix of other stones which meant nothing like as much to him. However he knew what he had to do, he knew that he couldnt stand up straight with the weight of the many pebbles he wished he could keep and if he put them back under the stairs they would be left all alone and away from life which was pointless. The tears flowed down his face as he carefully placed each stone down, knowing full well that he would never be able to find them again when he came back after the sea had washed over them. The sea! why had he been so foolish so as not to remember a sea for his beach. He fell to the floor and wept uncontrollably, he cried until he thought he could cry no more and then he cried far more, far more than he had done before he had thought he could cry no more. When he had less than no energy left he fell on his face and just wished to slip away, but then he heard the sound of waves lapping at the edge of the beach and as he raised his scratched and gravel-ridden face from the floor, he saw the sea. A sea of his own tears, lapping at a beach full of memories, the waves moulding a continuously newly shaped beach and smoothing memories into useful experience. The German called his new found paradise Chad and then after sleeping for a while he got up and went home. He does love the beach though, and goes often for a toedip, regularly taking new stones to the beach. He doesnt stack up the stones and forget them anymore, they are all there in his view of life, but now they bring him enjoyment in the form of a lovely beach, rather than suffocating the space out of life.

Partaaaaayyyyyyy.

Haha gotta love Germans really, I will gain that citizenship in one life or another.

And now my bed is indeed looking bedshaped and so in time i will probably decide its a good idea to sleep in it.

Did you? Did you really?

Dreams sometimes make you wish things you hadn't even really paused on in thought. Thats powerful of them, sometimes its excellent fun, sometimes slightly scary, and sometimes its just plain annoying.

But i guess its always there in your mind and its bound to come to the surface at some point or other, sleep provides a good relaxed opening.

Bathe in the love of life, rock the world.

Love you,

i've been playing minesweeper so much recently that seeing a seven has become almost a frequent experience. for those of you who know, maaaaaaad and for those of you that dont, thats a lot of sweeping mines, i've had so much practice i could apply for and probably succeed in getting a job as a professional minesweeper. gosh i hope not. i think its all this staying in because i need to revise. strange concept really, i just seem to stay in. the revising still isnt very common.

this week the news has come through that in holland a terminally ill person has decided to give away a kidney and so there is going to be a reality tv show with three contestants who need a kidney and viewers get to vote off the two that they dont like. hahahaha its like pop idol with the added twist that the losers also get to die afterwards. i mean, i had to laugh when i heard that, like wafling wafls tbf. i dont know what quite makes me laugh at it, probably to stop myself punching someone, but maybe just the unbelievability of it or the fact that humans really are this exploitative/cheap/stupid/etc. someone also mentioned the valid point that what the hell is some terminally ill person doing with the last times of their life going on a reality tv show. i guess it just confirms what people will do for quote unquote "fame". i guess we've just never really changed, humans have always loved to watched others fighting eachother to the death. morbid fascinations are always in fashion.//rant over.

big brother has now started again, another piece of original b*ll*cks. the guy that says stuff in between programmes on E4 summed up things quite well when he said '...as big brother is going to be on for the next 37 years...' my gosh it only just finished, i have no idea what keeps people so interested tbh, the people in the house dont do anything all day, they live possibly even less than the average boring person does. and you're trying to tell me that every day for three months or something it can make up an hour of riveting television, should be put on live for hours and hours a day, should have numerous other programmes analysing it virtually every day. seriously. what was that? a life? no i'm all out of them at the moment, cant find one anywhere i'm afraid, i think the world is getting a bit short of them. probably escaping through the whole in the ozone layer with the rest of our future. i'm obviously weird and stupid for not seeing how excellent it is. the amount of 'reality' shows on tv is just crazy really. the whole concept of a reality on a screen which we are watching is just completely screwed up anyway. entertainment is all about escapism, well i thought it was anyway but it seems i may well be wrong. persecution is obviously our choice of flavour. damn right i'll feel persecuted not being able to escape this for the next eon of my life. oops ranting must be good fun today or something.// rant over again.

each to their own crazies.

haha being as this update is kinda about current affairs i was looking at the bbc news website and they had a video article about the yearly bed race in germany. i think i'll have to enter next year. points are awarded with a possible 40% going to each originality and craziness and the remaining 20% for speed around the course. now that is entertainment, hahaha.

anyways, halfway through exams now, i shall be finished at four o'clock on tuesday, that will be rather lovely. i wont be coming home until the next week now though because of lifting complications so i'll be home on the 13th or 14th which will also be rather lovely. tbh a plushious summer at home will be plushious.

once a german, always a german.

float with your dreams in the clouds, but remember your feet are still walking along the uneven floor. if you forget to look where you're going you will fall over.

inhale, exhale. breathing is important for life. all day, every day. try it, its a lovely feeling.

paradoxically but truly, people are the same and yet undeniably unique.

a is the first letter of the alphabet for a reason, it means part a comes first. remember that, its always best to start with part a. none of the other parts are quite as understandable or enjoyable if you've forgotten part a. PARTAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

chill out. rock on. love. party. breathe. eat. sleep.

knows it.
