Let down again by the group! Alas back up Nick to the rescue…

1. Name the best thing you’ve done that you’d never do again.
Hmm this is quite hard, as I try doing things that are good again ;) *thinks* Okay only thing I can think of is the insane time where I went to the Muse at Wembley Stadium in London. And I did all that driving back and forth from Harrow to Kazzies etc. Then I drove back home-home from Harrow at 1-2am getting back about 4am and getting up for work at 7amish later…

The second thing is gonna be a typical deep comment and say that “falling in “love” - To be fair whether I’d actually done it before its questionable, but those times I think I have, they’re great, until I realised I’d lost all sense of self and who I am…

2. What’s your most recent memorable dream?
Not one in particular, but fragments of various ones, they’re usually sinister themed or they dig at my insecurities.

3. Name something you want to do but don’t think wou ever will.
Seriously, this could be quite a big list ;) Though I’d like to believe that eventually everything I aim to do I will do. There’s other stuff too, but they’re not for your ears.

4. You find youself in a dreamland and you can wake up at any time. What do you do before you wake up?
Anything and everything I want, right? Dreamland, can’t hurt me lalalalalala…no consequences, kinda like ground hog day, except less annoying and repetitive. A list of must dos involve stealing a motorbike, driving off and robbing a place of money and having a high thrill chase - wooo

5. Friday fill-in: You’re in a small room with a stone floor, in front of you is a table atop which sits a candlestick and a scroll. Exits are East and North. What would thou dunst? > ____.
Eat Candle
Choke
Read Scroll
Eat Scroll

I reached 100 days, woo!

Hmm…

Well I’ve kinda let my feed pile up for god knows how long, just because I don’t have the time or patience to keep on top of it all. But the past two days saw me clearing out most of my feeds and because I have lacking desire to browse the board these days I decided to attack my Lifehacker feeds.

This article firstly makes me feel grumpy, because it’s telling me to like work politics, I don’t know. It says that the emotionally apathetic people should be able to just get on with lots of people because you have a better understanding etc. and work politics is simply about being liked. It also hints that working hard/well is not as important as being liked ha. Great, so in theory at my current job I am at the bottom of the food chain methinks…

At the other end of the scale though, this article is fantastic, it’s like a one page condensation of “help yourself” thoughts. Read it, even if you’re happy, it explains a lot about what sort of place I’m in right now. I’m just about figuring out what I’m all about, and I’m fumbling out the pieces and parts and putting it together slowly.

The best part is the end:

Despite everything I’ve just said:

Self-examination can be paralysis.

Don’t “remember to breathe” — just breathe. It’s a Tao thing.

It’s the paradox at the center of all this — remember that, “Am I living up to being the person I want to be?”, is not a question the person you want to be would ask.

If I can leave you with just one thought, it’s this:

Stop wasting your time fretting over not being happy.

Just be happy.

Just be Happy, what a lovely thought.

Oh and I’m most intrigued by Spicebird, I’m not going to download and try it out yet until it becomes a bit more developed mind, but I like that concept of condensing my mail and everything into one program properly (instead of say using thunderbird and lighting).

I’m sure there’s loads of other random things I quite like to mention, but alas if I did that I would be here forever.

Only 481 unread articles to go…

Catching up with lifehacker feeds, most things aren’t relevant to me, but sometimes you get gems like this that are probably already telling me what I already know. But hey, when you hear it from someone else then at least you know your brain is kinda on the right track.

How to find the work that you love

Whether you listen to it or not, is a while different matter ;)

Don’t get any big ideas
they’re not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
and feel up with noise
but there’ll be something missing

Now that you’ve found it, it’s gone
Now that you feel it, you don’t
You’ve gone off the rails

So don’t get any big ideas
they’re not going to happen
You’ll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

- Radiohead

Yes..yes you do…

These series of videos are ace, watch them from 1 to 7 - yep

This made me giggle loads
