more tech woes
2010-04-12 19:20:00 Turned in around 3am, and was up again before 8am. More technical issues: the radio signal on the Lenovo decided to turn itself off ? and has remained off ever since. The dock application on the Dell just disappeared too ? although that, it seems, is a known issue. And I returned to Firefox even ... More About: Tech
water in ear
2010-04-10 21:01:00 Gardening duties have now officially started. Just as well, as my back garden was beginning to look like Steptoe?s yard. The slight downside is water in my ear (so much for the lingering bath), a mouth ulcer and re-tearing a ligament linking ankle to foot. I can still hear the sound and I wasn?t even doing ...

EMF break
2010-04-08 19:15:00 Losing track of time, thinking it was Wednesday, plus cold vibe around solar plexus means break in EMF (ie aura). Time really to stop and self-heal. Yesterday, I had a major trawl of art that wasn?t working. Destroyed some and am re-working others with a circle motif. (ie symbol of life, contained energy, protection and also, ...

more low tech highlights
2010-04-06 20:21:00 My DVD player is so cheap ? and old ? that in order to view a film, I have to try at least three DVDs first, preferably freebie ones, in order for it to ?see? them. ?Wrong Disc? is the perpetual message, although they work fine once the thing that reads them deigns to actually ...

Happy Easter!
2010-04-04 20:19:00 Faith for me was, and remains, eternally optimistic, though perhaps with more pragmatism than before. In Easter s long gone, when the weather was foul on Good Friday, I?d religiously believe that, come Easter Sunday, the sun would shine. And, nine times out of ten, it would. Even on the rare days when the sun failed ... More About: Happy
contemplation
2010-04-02 13:44:00 A good day for inner work. *Art is informed by the life we lead, by our thoughts, experiences and desires. My blog posts are either streams of consciousness, wrestling with spiritual concepts or other experiences on this particular spiritual journey. For examples of how this translates into my art, please visit my gallery. Euphrosene Labon ...
sunshine and clouds
2010-04-01 20:09:00 The sunshine made up for the continuing techno glitches (what is wrong with Firefox?) and chasing Parcelforce. Neither are how I want this Bank Holiday weekend to start especially as I plan to do a leaflet drop round the industrial estates. And I am off to join an art group. If Arun DC and Inspire can?t ...

chilly start and finish
2010-03-31 21:19:00 5am start brought wave of self-admiration for all those long years of horrendously early mornings (and long working days) during my sales career. The dire weather sounded like an avenging God so that made for a double pat on the back at getting up when any other sensible person would have climbed back under the ... More About: Start
invisible menu
2010-03-30 13:47:00 Major clear out of files on my hard disk yesterday has perked up the processor. Out have gone unused or troublesome software packages as well as not much used data. Not quite deleted forever. They have all been dumped on CDs just in case there is something I need at some point in time and ... More About: Menu
what is truth?
2010-03-27 19:46:00 In London yesterday for RA Summer Exhibition glazed entry submission ? along with gazillions of others. Behind me in the queue was a guy who had previously worked on the hanging committee supporting a panel member. What he had to say was a real eye-opener. One year, the panel member wanted cats ? any images of ... More About: Truth
endings & beginnings
2010-03-24 14:40:00 Despite training in psycho-therapy, I am not a great fan of seeing counsellors. Most are no better than bending the ear of a kindly friend. And keeping journals is always therapeutic. Recognise a past injury but don?t keep reliving it. A good principle to live by. That said, if there are deep-seated issues, perhaps having them ...

spiritual metaphor
2010-03-22 14:01:00 The car we own or drive is a spiritual metaphor. So it?s just as well I am a firm believer that order eventually results from chaos, and that having the second new battery again failing to charge is a kind of spiritual message. Life has to go on, no matter how serious or unimportant the ... More About: Spiritual
kreativ blogger award
2010-03-22 13:21:00 Huge apologies for not completing the pay it forward element relating to a recent blogger nomination. It does take a bit of time to find and link! NB Leaving a comment will have to be fitted in this week. Thanks again, Daniel at Art Marketing Secrets! To recap: Kreativ Blogger originated in May 2008 in a post ... More About: Award
wrong signals
2010-03-19 12:23:00 What creates a bond? DNA is supposed to link sentients, yet, the other day, I heard a scientist say we could contain cellular information relating to alien species. It neatly matches some ideas of mine, that some signals are turned on within groups, creating, for example, familial DNA. But what if other connecting signals are not ... More About: Wrong
end of a chapter
2010-03-16 19:31:00 Moans about the greedy 80s continue, yet many people, including freelancers, earned more as well. Journalists often got a £1 a word. In Blair/Brown?s Britain, the only people who have really done well are public sector managers, quango heads, most people at the BBC, GPs, NHS managers, various busy bodies, footballers, semi-talents on endless TV ...
some success
2010-03-15 20:15:00 Odd sort of day. Busy. Communicative too ? I actually picked up the ?phone to ring people, stirred life into a couple of my deserted LinkedIn groups. Did some painting. Ruined two pieces and ripped them up. Felt unbearable tension. Actually, it was the unbearable tension which made me pick up the paintbrush. Despite the two ... More About: Success
evolutionary superior
2010-03-13 18:47:00 What blesses some creatives with astounding success and not others? Is it really all down to marketing and good timing? There are thousands of really talented painters and cartoonists out there. Make that millions. But most earn a modest living, if that. Being a WFH (Worker for Hire) keeps the wolf from the door for ...
what?s the purpose
2010-03-08 21:29:00 Freedom of self-expression is a mixed blessing. Like the Monarchy losing its mystique, or discovering how really stupid most MPs are (take a bow, Ed Vaizey), the more we say, me included, the more we expose our faults and prejudices to the world. So why do we do it? Maybe there is a need to ... More About: Purpose
forgive but what about reparation?
2010-03-07 21:09:00 At Rank Xerox, we were taught that if someone did not understand something, the fault lay with how we were explaining it. I?ll blame the second bout, in one week, of negative food reaction for my lack of clarity, and start again. Point one: the government, as usual, got it wrong. It managed to whip up the ...

right to know
2010-03-05 21:54:00 Plans to go to Efford to visit Ma?s grave were shifted due to ropey health but I still went out to light a candle for her ? at a church in Southampton where she and I once went. In my beliefs, her soul is free, so visiting a grave is just a courtesy. I can ...
last memory of Ma
2010-03-04 19:41:00 The last two weeks of Ma?s life were a total roller coaster of emotions: being with her when she was taken into Worthing Hospital and really thinking she would pass on that night. Yet, a few hours later, she was beaming widely, kissing the hands of the nurses who looked after her. From my 2009 ... More About: Memory
time for new car?
2010-03-03 21:24:00 There?s a view that technology responds in kind to its owners mental state. Last month, the battery in my car had to be replaced. Today, the car failed to start again. I was supposed to be in London today, but went to bed - and woke up - not wanting to go, despite having paid for ... More About: Time
miracles required
2010-03-02 18:19:00 Odd sort of day, yesterday. On Sunday, I had watched March of the Penguins and felt distinctly underwhelmed at the dreadful cyclic similarity to human existence. Though, in their case, the penguins put up with staggeringly bad conditions without appearing to seek ways to make things easier. I suppose that is what differentiates higher humans (and ...

resistance is not futile
2010-02-28 19:53:00 Looks like Labour?s social re-engineering may be working as the Tories? lead has dropped… not helped by Cameron?s inability to speak clearly about what needs to be done and provide a workable plan, though it is still not too late - provided he gives up the need to cling on to the coat tails of ...

when?
2010-02-27 22:42:00 In the darkest, deepest days of the last recession, living in the park home (a bricked in caravan) in Elstead, I did used to wonder how I would ever own a home again, let alone be mortgage-free. But I did. And in less than five years from a standing start. Being in IT sales helped ...
entitlement wrongs
2010-02-24 19:13:00 Wanting to get one?s own way to the point of obsession and über-agression may be understandable but it is also a kind of bullying. I have had bosses whose micro-management ?skills? were very close to bullying. I left to avoid the aggro and distress ? although they all eventually got their comeuppance. I was wondering last ...
love - there is no limit
2010-02-21 23:54:00 Yesterday, a veil of sadness seemed to cloak me for a good part of the day. I believe it was Ma, as the Credo played in my head on and off, also for most of the day. Yet there was also a collective sadness for the death, from carbon monoxide poisoning, of a young journalist, who ... More About: Love
nice people
2010-02-18 21:42:00 Are you of value? One of life?s assets? En route to the SoA meeting yesterday, I stopped for a coffee at a garden centre near Turners Hill and read a local community magazine. It intrigued twice over. Firstly, it mentioned a B who I knew years ago (through her husband, who I worked with at ... More About: People , Nice
progress of sorts
2010-02-17 22:16:00 An interesting day on several levels. Decisions and progress. Wonderful. I can honestly see light now on one issue. But that?s partly because I have tried a metaphysical process which I very rarely use. Meanwhile, my skin has turned into a barometer for cold weather. Dry skin itch now seems to be a signal that the ... More About: Progress
God, thy will is hard
More articles from this author:2010-02-16 21:02:00 To feel pity for a Tony Blair or a Saddam Hussein is a pretty good sign that my heart is unlikely to harden to the plight of another any time soon, even if I can be pretty fierce in my condemnation of their actions. And I feel that towards all sentients. If only they felt even ... More About: Hard 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
