Weird Dreams

I don’t remember many of my dreams, though I do remember a vivid one from when I was a child which featured plants trying to take over the world, and odd policewoman with hats that had eyes in them, it scared the crap out of me. I didn’t want to sleep for a week.

Last night I had a dream that Jessica Alba, world famous movie star, came into my store to have an ID photo taken, and then ended up staying at my house, she was smoking, clearly drunk and shouting abusive comments at my neighbours. Apparently dreams have meanings, so I have to wonder … what the hell is the meaning in this one.

If anyone can figure it out please tell me.

Excerpts from Michaels Diary

Well it’s almost complete. My first book is soon to be published, admittedly it will only be to order from places like Amazon but I will be ordering a copy to see my story in print. While the story stands on its own I’d love to revisit it sometime but for now I’m slowly working on my second book. This one will take a lot longer I suspect, but it will be worth it.

Internet Chat

I’ve been a big fan of internet chat for a long time now, it’s where I’ve met some of the nicest people online. People can meet and discuss topics of all sorts and meet new and interesting people, otherwise never get a chance to converse with.

If you feel like broadening your horizons I can wholeheartedly recommend Noesis chat, give it a try.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope 2010 is a good one for us all.

I have to admit I’ve been thinking a bit this Christmas, I kept hearing people say they didn’t feel ‘christmasy’ and I kinda know what they mean, it has felt different this year. The whole Christmas thing has actually felt a lot less commercialised than it has in a long time. Perhaps people haven’t felt ‘christmasy’ because we are so used to taking our cues from the media and the retailers and when they stop telling us what to do we become lost and confused.

Or maybe I’m just a cynic.

Words That Move Me

One of my favourite anime series of all time has to be Cowboy Bebop, if you haven’t seen it you should, it must be over 10 years old and still holds up as one of the finest examples of the anime genre, great characters, stories, plot, it has everything. It’s that highly regarded a live action movie is in production starring Keanu Reeves as the main character Spike Spiegel.

Every now and then you hear a story that sticks with you, and this one from the final episode stuck with me.

There once was a tiger striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived and lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he didn’t really care for. The cat wasn’t afraid to die. One day the cat became a stray cat, which meant he was free. He met a white female cat, and the two of them spent their days together happily. Well, years passed, and the white cat grew weak and died of old age. The tiger striped cat cried a million times, and then died too. Except this time, he didn’t come back to life.

I guess I’m just an old romantic at heart.

Family

I have to say that I have a family I love very much, a niece and nephew I adore, and I hope everyone has a great family and keeps them close. If I could make one wish to come true right now it would be that I always have my family and friends close to me.

If you have family and friends and you care anything for them, spend a moment to think about them and how much they mean to you, I’m sure they’re worth it.

New Blog

I’ve been quiet lately thinking over an idea I have to help change my situation. So I have started a new blog called “Help Buy Me A New Life“. It’s my hope to try and get enough donations or sponsored advertisements to clear my debt and start a new life. I ask only that you look and if you wish to help please tell others.

Take a look and any feedback you might have would be appreciated.

Highs and Lows

I haven’t written for weeks, partly because I haven’t had much to write. For months now I’ve been managing to maintain quite a positive attitude, then this week I have to say I’ve been at the lowest I have for a long time, I really need to get out of this mood I’m in.

I need a hug.

Is summer getting longer?

It’s odd, it’s September in a country famous for it’s rain and yet it seems to be better weather now than we had most of the summer. Am I the only person in the world who dislikes the heat?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the friends I have in my life and how lucky I am to have them. If any of them ever read this I thank you all for being there for me.

I’m Sorry

I was thinking today about apologies, someone recently wronged me and I was wondering if they would say sorry. And then it occurred to me, I’m quite smart, I don’t need an apology, since I would know whether they meant it or not it makes the apology a null point. If they mean it i don’t really need to know, if they don’t then I don’t want to know.

I guess perhaps the apology is more a small comfort to the person who has done wrong. However a good apology should always be without hesitation or reservation, it should always be given freely and without expectation of a returned apology, and most importantly it should be 100% sincere.
