I cannot give my mother a memory box or flowers. She smoked too much and developed cancer.
she died two years ago today. i do not want people to get morbid but there were many things i wish i had done for my mum but cannot now.
So give your mum a good day
And do stop smoking or i will sit in the direction of where you live and wag my finger.

Doppleganger
Today I went into the mall and bought a few things. Having done this I went for a coffee.
As I was drinking it I noticed a young lady opposite me and after thinking about it recognised her.
Now I have not seen this person for about 5 years and did not know her that well.
Now in the past I would have said hello but I have learned that although I pay attention and remember things other people do not which means the other person does not who the hell they are talking to, making for a strange conversation.
This time however the lady herself said hello and we had a small but interesting conversation about our respective lives.
Now all this brings me to various incidents that have occurred to me over the years and the reason why I always let the other person begin the conversation. I have over time had many conversations with people who claim to have met me. I have no recollection of them at all. Now why is this so odd? Because they talk to me as if they really know me not in a casual manner like the described incident above but say they really know me.
This to say is very odd as these people recollect things I have never done and doing things with people I have never met.
Now after explaining I have never met them. Which on one occasion the person though was impossible. I asked when they saw him/me last and always it has been a period of time of about a year or so etc.
So I have a doppelganger

Evil and good
Recently I have been thinking about evil. No not the devil but what makes someone evil or for that matter good.
If someone is mad and they kill a bunch of people are they evil. Hitler is often considered mad but if he is not in control of his emotions or decisions can he be evil, after all evil is supposed to be about choice and mad people cannot understand those choices.
When presented with a choice the evil person knows the result of his actions and as such chooses the evil action, knowing it is “evil”
But what about suicide bombers? They believe what they are doing is right not evil. Now someone might say they were evil but if you look at these people they had families who they say they loved if so can they be evil?
And what about bomber pilots dropping bombs are they evil? from their perspective they are good but yet a lot of people die as a result of their actions.
So is evil a choice? And if so is that choice dependant on perspective?
I started off thinking about evil, and find I do not know anything about what evil is or for that matter what good is as the above logic says that even good is dependant upon choice and a point of perspective.
Of course I am known for being full off shit.
This evil and good business requires more thought than I realised.

Oscar night
Yet again the Oscars are giving out the rewards for the good boys and girls of the entertainment industry.
And yet again after a few days I will forget the winners names. This is because it is so long I forget who the winners are by the end of it. So I have decided to give you who I think should win.
Best actor - a lump of coal
Best actress - a small badly smelling man called Mr Lafarge
Best supporting actor - a small dog call matzo
Best supporting actress - Matzo’s older brother called Sinton
Best director- a man who sits outside my favourite bar selling newspapers I think he is called Tod but I am not sure
ETC
Now you might think the above is very silly but when you consider some of the decisions made in the past and the fact I just do not care, the above selections are quite rational. I will watch it but only because I like looking at the women.
And lets face it that’s why everyone else watches it (unless you are female in that case its for the guys)
My take on the same thing.
A show called.
A pointless meeting where all the famous people come and look good proclaim how modest and grateful they are
Or a show called the party!
Oh yes just give them booze, finger food, a photocopier and discrete places where there can go for sex.
The Oscars are in fact the industries equivalent of the company do.
