A light it glows upon the rocks
Calling out and sending shocks
A rhythmic beat, a pulse of love
A resonance, yet not enough

The bag awaits its content to be
Shirts and Shorts quite possibly
A book, a tune, a reference point
To a land called home to soul anoint

The pull is strong, yet hesitant
In seek of life benevolent
The warmth and promise of talk intense
Yet still in fear and reticence

In doubt of word and feeling be
Just lost in a mazed soliloquy
Tender words that dance on ice
Perhaps for now, that will suffice

...Oh baby its cold outside!

Serious, its feckin freezin out there.

I just got back from a lickle cycle over to Letchworth to give Amber her hair straightners that she left here yesterday, who could resist an angelic, "Dad, I left my hair straighteners at yours can you bring them over to my house please..."

This was at around 9am so I looked up through the skylight, saw blue sky and thought yeah why not, I'll cycle over, 3 miles for crows around 4 for bipeds.

How looks can be deceptive, I'm kinda glad I wrapped up warm. I put on a t-shirt and my hoodie, banged on my Adicolor Clare Rayners, whacked a little pack on my back, and headed on up the hill.

Jesus, talk about howling bite through your arse wind! I was kinda lucky going up the hill cos the wind was behind me and gave me a determined assist. For a moment I thought to myself, fuck, I'm fitter than I thought as it really was a piece of piss.

I got to Amber's in record time - cold hands and warm heart ( I should have been a Dr) Amber bless, was still in her Jarmas, so I gave her the benefit of a big cold hug and a kiss before heading on back.

I detoured into the ex Bro In laws to nick a cup of tea and a quick natter before hitting the road again.

I took a different route home thinking that I needed to try and find a way that was a little bit different. Ever feel like some things are too familiar or same old same old? Its funny what goes through your mind when you are out and about peddling hard. I tend to play little tapes in my head and weigh and redress or balance out things that I'm not too sure of or that are bothering me in some way. I never come up with any answers mind, but its good to process and channel it throuugh a little physicality.If your ego is too noisy and won't give you a break, then go out and burn some cals, works wonders and shuts you up, trust me.

I made a bit of a boo boo on my route back though cos the wind really got me, especially as i went through some of the more exposed parts. There's one particular downward hill where I usually manage to attain 40mph, which on a bike, is pretty fast, i aint shitting you. Today with the wind in my face I had to really push to get above 10mph! I even put me hood up and found myself making references to the words fuck game and soldiers, but hey I made it back and feel like Ive done a bit, which is all good.

Off to see my adopted mum in a minute, gonna take her some flowers and give her a little card and some chocs and stuff.

People need to feel like they matter, here's a little idea for today, find someone you love, who matters to you, and let them know, just tell them, they might look at you as if you are a bit weird, or they might not even. Whatever their reaction you can be assured that it'll stay with them and warm their cockles. They'll love you for it, trust me.

Whatever you do today, I hope its nice.

Edit: Duh, I need to read the instructions it seems..

I quite like blog.co.uk. but I'm not totally enamoured with how when you create a new blog site, the whole world has to know about it.I think it would be cool if you could create new blogs and in some ways disassociate yourself from them publically, or at least have the option to hide their existence from other casual visitors or friends should you so choose..

Currently every new blog site that anyone creates is there to be seen by others in ones profile. For others, your new posts will appear to them in their 'friends posts' list and unless you make it private, everyone will be able to tie your identity to what you write.

If you make it private then its a pointless exercise as for me, the whole point of blogging is to communicate ideas, express what you think and gain a little feedback and discussion. If you want to keep everything private then you might as well just open up a word document and save it in a password protected directory on your hard drive!

Why does this matter? Well, as I've touched on already, there may for example, be something that I want to blog on which is kinda personal. It could be the rumination of the loss of a loved one, it could be some discussion of some obscure sexual fantasy involving sellotape and blue tack, it could be related to how crap my current job is (it isn't) , some anorak interest, a business venture maybe... basically, it could be any number of things that I want to discuss and get feedback on whilst at the same time preserving a degree of anonymity.

I think I'll write to blog.co.uk and see what they think. It shouldn't be too hard to implement, just a line of code in a file somewhere.

What a great film this is I loved it. I borrowed it off of a friend. I liked crouching tiger hidden dragon and another similar offering, the name of which escapes me right now but, hey what a great film this was.

Solemn, dignified, beautiful, enigmatic,artful, great choreography, poetic, emotional. It's so well connected,the direction, the soundtrack, the acting, you really get into the sense of honour that the characters feel towards their roles, you get a taste for the time. It really is a visual and aural feast, might even make a tear appear on your cheek too.

Check it.
