I have decided to finally lose my excess weight a concerted effort of excercise and diet.
For too long it has held me back (sometimes literally) and now I wish to look really good naked ( which is the real reason)
But how to achieve this? via video fitness, wieght watchers ( been doing that for years looking at my belly) food intake diaries?
No after long research i have decided eating less and excercise may be the radical solution to my problem.
And so i embark on a voyage of discovery to the land of being attractive and desired.
Keep you posted

Im back
It has been a while since my last blog. The blog police came and after my full biometric details were taken -which for some reason involved a full cavity search, I was allowed to continue. I am beginning to think there are other motives for these ID cards. But no I trust the government and so should you. And now I am allied with google that searches endlessly like john Wayne in the searchers, I know my influence in the blogosphere will reach single figures again. A new vista- but obviously not Alta vista, I am a google person now.

Panic Blogging
I was in bed reading highly educational material when a panic gripped me, I have not posted in a while, perhaps the blog police will come along and close my blog down for not posting. So here is one to keep them at bay.
Sleep beckons.
Until another panic attack.

Nothing
My first post in a while. Strange when I am working or out and about, I can think of plenty of things I should write about, my head is full of witty and though provoking things to say. But now i am sat down here... nothing not a bean, my head is empty, perhaps having not written about anything for a while I am out of practice.

A post
I have not written anything in my blog for a month, I ned to get back into the habit so nothing too long today.
No doubt i will make some comment on the war in the lebanon, which will make everbody step back think about it, and then do nothing about it.
War what is it good for? - really good rating's on tv.

Neo cons
There is a new terror in our future. It is not Osama, Hamas, falling rocks or sick birds and even neo Nazis cower in terror at this threat.
The neo con.
What is a neo con? I have never understood this neo con business. We call neo Nazis that because all the old Nazis were destroyed and the continuity was broken hence the neo or new Nazis.
But why neo con? What is new about them? How are they different? Were the old conservatives destroyed?
No by all accounts Neo cons are democrats who are new to conservative thinking.
I find this odd as m. Moore of shooting columbine said democrats DOA
And how about the labour party they are also DOA more conservative than the Conservatives (with a small c though)
So how does this all work out? What do the neo cons believe in?
Indeed pinning them down proves difficult what are they about?
I have noticed a change in politics it is not the policies or the party names. It is in the kind of people who are now at the top of the political heap. I have noticed they are all largely the same they come from well off middle-class backgrounds, went to good (often private) schools and had a university education (paid by the state in Britain something they denied future generations except there own who they can afford to pay for) all held well paying jobs.
As many have put it they are career politicians.
So what do they believe in?
To put it bluntly nothing they have no creed at all..
And the neo cons are everywhere now have you noticed the split between party leaderships and the party members?
This is something I am going to be coming back to I need to think about it some more.

Blunt
I watched with much interest a TV program on surveillance in the workplace. Of particular interest was call centre monitoring now having worked in a call centre and used them I have a good perspective on their woes and there are many.
Have you ever wondered why they seem like machines and not people? That’s because with those monitoring systems in place they are not allowed to be anything else everything is checked CONSTANTLY and the people in charge do not use it to make things better but just to make your life worse why? Because they can. Ultimately what makes these places dehumanize people are not the machines who are neutral but the people operating them. I never saw a boss or team leader scrutinised so much.
And this disease is spreading why? Technology allows people to check everything.
Now it seems fair enough to check people's work but what happens is they crank it up beyond what people can deal with.
What happened if at the end of your day you got a report on everything that you did, how you drove washed cooked cleaned made love etc and then got a report on it? Now how many mistakes do you think you made? Allot I should imagine. And everyday you must do better. Now how long would you last under that kind of scrutiny?
The problem is people are not machines they cannot be perfect all of the time. Yet we demand these things more and more.
Of course the people at the top say we have to remain competitive.
But that’s a bit rich from people who even if they fail still get million dollar bonuses

Virtual lives virtual dictators
I play a game called world of war craft, which is an online RPG. In it I use a character to move about and kill monsters.
Now recently I have hit the maximum level of 60 and with this I can go into the molten core a place of bigger monsters and more treasure.
Now to do this you must first be in a clan and second you must be invited. Now at first things were jovial enough and things were fairly ad-hoc turn up. Go in. Kill the monsters but recently this has changed. It has gotten organised. Now you might think that it is a good thing to be organised, and it is- you get more done. But when you get a bunch of people together you get a problem called politics. And already I can begin to see the real world problem seep into this virtual one.
Lines are being drawn. The unpopular being banished. And those at the top creaming the good stuff under the umbrella, we need it not for ourselves you understand but to help you we must have it.
Greed has set in. And everything in this game is just not real.
Value is not only relative but also based upon desire.
Someone said. See a man work for a year and you will know nothing. See him at play for an hour and see the real man.

In labour
Well the last bits shine have finally dulled on the labor machine. Of course some would say that happened a long time ago.
But now they are a morass of infighting powermongering and incompetence .They are just like the conservatives all they want is power. The great malaise that is now in all politics has reduced everything down to mush. If this was a person they would be schitzo and suffering from dementia and a lillte sociopathy.
Yet again it shows the widening gap between the leadership of parties and thier members.
The war runmbles on starting it was a bad idea but i thought now we are in we must stay the course after all we did do this to help the Iraqi people did we not? But now it seems we have done nothing for them at all even basic supplies are not getting through. Now in the second world war we occupied germany for ten years but even after two basic supplies and rebuilding had begun in some fashion .The 22bn dollars they had was not it seems spent wisely and in fact they seemed to do their best to make sure it only went into american hands.
So it would seem we are not helping them at all perhaps we should leave and if they should choose a government we dont like ? we can bomb the crap out of them.

Hmm
What to write is hard sometimes I have not written anything in a while and when I come back to my blog it is not always with a clear defined idea of what to put down.
Got some advice from a friend about my CV. She thought it was not very good so I looked at it again took in her comments and realised she was right. I have now rewritten it. I think i have matured because a few years ago i would not have taken the advice and would have been to busy being angry about how dare she tell me whats good or bad!
And so my epic journey of enlightenment continues.
I have spent some time recently online playing World of warcraft which is why i have not done much on my Blog.
My Character has recently achieved lvl 60 and is now doing the big dungeons in fact this saturday my clan the FurionS is doing its first Molten core raid.
it is interesting to note however that even in this fantasy world people still politic and bitch about things. Even in the online world these things follow us in.
I watched on the news with some interest that nothing has happend which has not happend before.

Packaging
Recently I decided to sell some stuff on eBay. Now I had bought some time ago a controller for a game called steel battalion.
It consists of two joysticks some pedals and a multifunction controller. Now I enjoyed the game mostly because of this controller, which added an immersion I have not had since the arcades. Now. All well and good. But then I came to sell it.
Now it is a collectors piece and not that many were actually made (I bought it because I knew I could make money on it) however before it could be sold I had to test it and all the parts found and put back in the box.
Now putting things back proved the hard part and for a while I was stumped how they did it, now I knew having taken the bits out they could be put back in but finding the solution did take some time and in the end was quite an enjoying challenge.
But it got me to thinking about packaging and I have to admit it is a pet hate of mine. How often I have purchased something and had to get a blowtorch and explosives to get it out is on the increase. Now I am and adult male with good physical ability
And reasonably intelligent but if I have problems getting this stuff open how about kids and the elderly?
I have a theory. In it I believe the companies of the world are trying to make it so hard to get past the packaging that in the end we will give up and just put it somewhere and in time all the products will just be packaging and because we will not be able to open it we will never know that there is nothing in there.
Perhaps they should start making tanks and banks out of the stuff.

Dream
I have been having some odd dreams in one an actress pops into them .Now i have no objection to her popping in but the dreams are to say the least odd.Now in what way could they be odd you ask?
well no doubt you think the dreams are of a sensual or physical nature. No they are not
This one involved who got to keep the dogs, thats right i am having a dream about that. it should be said in the dream i was a bit of an asshole. But why would i have a dream about the end of a relationship and who got to keep the dogs?
Now how am i supposed to interpret about what that means? i have read some books on dream interpretation but nothing about dog custody battles with actresses.
Now the reason why idecided to share the above with you is
1 To get your interpretation on my dream
2 To write about anything that was a little more interesting than what is going on with tony blair and gordon brown.
BEACUSE LIKE A LOT OF NEWS STORIES THEY BORE THE SHIT OUT OF ME AND DO NOT HAVE ANY REAL BEARING ON ANYTHING WHAT SO EVER.
ho hum

Mothers day
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.
