disappointment

I have just watched the last episode of Ashes to Ashes and was kinda disappointed. I had enjoyed Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes until that point. And then in the last episode we found out that everything we had thought previously was not as we had been led to believe it was. It was very strange. I'm still not sure I fully understand what it was all about. But it did make me wonder how often we live our lives, or part of lives, as a lie. As people we can try and be who others want us to be in in order to be accepted. We cut out parts of our lives that don't fit in in certain circumstances, and we exaggerate other parts. And then sometimes we just completely be ourselves. Although the more you get used to living not as you, the real you starts to feel less like you.

really?

I have just been listening to a debate about whether parents should push their children into particular careers/uni courses, or allow their children to follow their hearts. Surely if a parent pushes their child into something they are not happy doing they are just moving towards a working life of unhappiness. Our parents have allowed us to make our own choices, whilst offering advice and support. This has led us all to follow very different paths based on things we enjoy and what our intellect will allow. Had we have been forced or heavily encouraged into something our parents wanted and not what we wanted I can't see that we would be as happy as we are.

On another note - apparently left handers die earlier than right handers.

Wiping the dust off

It has been a very long time since anything has happened around here, I am thinking about changing that although I guess that everyone has stopped reading it anyway. But I have some thoughts I need to release somewhere and this might be the place.

But just for the minute I need to go and make a shopping list because I keep having a forget about the things I need to put on it.

I found this funny

Problems

I seem to increasingly find that when I have a problem with a person, or a group of people or a task that is before me, that it turns out that I am more the problem than the problem I perceive to be in front of me. And then I find that when I sort myself out, its not really such a problem any more, more of a bit of challenge to get over.

It is June already, this year is going a bit quick like.

Why is that some days I wake up and I feel good and I feel good all day, and then some days I wake up grumpy and groggy and feel grumpy and groggy all day. It seems like how I wake up has more effect on the day than anything else.

Paul has finished his exams. You might think that this would mean the he will blog more, but you can't really be sure. He has been doing some more stupidpaul stuff if you are interested in that kind of thing. It's not new stuff, more upgraded old stuff.

This weekend I am going to Sizewell. It is two years since I have been there. I am looking forward to that. Before that I am having my hair cut but one of the few people who can actually manage to cut my hair well. I am looking forward to that. Before that I get to have lunch with the father. I am looking forward tot hat. After the weekend I am going to college for the week.
