Getting old makes me sad

[Master Ray]

Thinking about an amazing night you had once and then realising that it was 20 years ago and you have no contact with most of those people nowadays...

Wow, I just realised that my last statement was pretty much the plot of THE WORLDS END, which I saw at the cinema a couple of days ago... I've also realised that I am basically Simon Peggs character, not least because I am currently wearing a Sisters Of Mercy T-shirt...

Hearing that torrential rain in expected from six onwards in my region tomorrow , after planning a big night oot

Reading some of the posts you made earlier, and ceeing orl the speling mistaiks you maid

People in other countries who kill each other, suffer instead of giving help and love..they have to be against their system and the politics and not against each other. It's what their governement want them to do.

what make me sad is also animals suffering everywhere, in slaughter house or zoo or even in someone's house.
all animals human or not are born to be free and happy.

all animals human or not are born to be free and happy.

as Darwin pointed out, all animals are on the verge of freezing to death, starving to death, dying of thirst or being eaten by another animal, doesn't sound very free & happy to me - apparently this is what annoyed the church more than his theory of evolution, that god (in the eyes of the church) would allow this to be the case

I'm feeling a bit sad now because I found, whilst rummaging around in my massively untidy flat and looking for something else, a leaving card from a job I had about eight years ago,one with some great people I really cared about back then, full of really sweet messages and genuine best wishes for my future...

... and I really can't remember what most of them looked like.  No idea.  We spend so much time with people in our working life and, if you're lucky, make some good friendships, which I did back then... and now their faces are lost to me.

Damn, I hate getting older.

SYRIA.

[Master Ray]

SYRIA.

Oh come on, Tony Blair (who isn't a money-hungry, war-mongering, evil c***sucker in ANY way, shape or form) thinks it's a good idea?  Why you not on board with this?

Sarcasm aside, I am truly dispairing of this world right now.

[sozbot]

Well, on the Really Important Things front, definitely the whole Syria situation. Just... sigh. Awful.

On the Lesser But Still Annoying Things front, my accident-prone nature. In the past two weeks I've badly bruised a toe (it was suspected broken but isn't), burnt a finger, and had a shard of glass pierce my foot. I hope that's my 3 bad things!!

[Knievel]

I cannot tell you all how sad I am to hear what has happened to Sozbot - I was supposed to take a day off work tomorrow but I don't think I can now.

But on a serious note - the Syria explosion - it's like a spot that develops a yellow puss - We live with war every day and we always have. And sometimes it shows, like now, but don't think it's not there when it's not apparent.

I think it can be good for us - a good reminder to not beat on our brother, not beat on our neighbour, not beat on our boss. 

Love on us all - and I hope your finger gets better soon Soz - I'm not taking the piss - it's things like that shard of glass in your foot that just brings out how compassionate people are - it's easy to forget that we are good people.  Like - you know we talk of road rage but there's more waving of kindness and blinking lights of polite and no after you etc goes on on the road than rage. 

In fact - what makes me really sad is that every time I'm in a rage there is no one to fight!  No one - ever!

Now wouldn't it be nice if just once or twice a couple of townies would trouble me when i was in a bad mood and not when I was listening to Englebert Humperdink on the walkman? Eating a (vegan) cheese sandwich and wondering if my mother's doing ok?

What else makes me sad - well - tomorrow I'm going to wake up and think 'What did I post after drinking that bottle of Sake?'

It makes me sad that one cannot write nonesense on sake without a crumbling fear of what did I say? that envelops the next day....

[Master Ray]

I wouldn't worry about posting dumb shit after a heavy night... the number of times I've woken up and slowly, gradually and horribly, had the memory of what I posted the previous night filter into my memory...

That said, I really hope that you were making a humerous point about battering someone... I got put in hospital after a prolonged and very nasty attack a while back because I was 'different' to him... still makes me edgy to this day.

I'm sure that was not your intention, mate.

[Knievel]

Master Ray please let me talk to you here:

I was once 'restrained' by the cops: they had to get into my house for someone - they didn't need a warrant - long story short they simply restrained me.

Now I always thought I was a capable man.  Able to protect my home and my children.

And these cops proved that that was folly.

They didn't hurt me but they showed me my own impotence.  I was humiliated and afraid in knowing that I could not protect my children.

After this I was attacked twice in very close succession.

I'm sure that it was because I was giving 'afraid' signals. 

I spoke with my brother about this - he is very military, authoritarian, conservative ex army - a man I respect and admire but we have differing views you know.

He told me that when this kind of thing happens - an invasion of the self - a belittling of the soul - then the army respects that the man needs counselling to revive himself.  He spoke of his agreement with how the police behaved in getting the man they wanted but that they should have offered and given me counselling afterwards.

I agree with him.  I was fucked up for a long long time after the cops showed me my powerlessness.

A hospital beating from street thugs must be much much worse.

At least you are talking to people here about it - that is good.  Talk to me my friend, or talk to others.  The scar can be healed.

Stay strong brother x

I can listen, without talking back, without giving pithy advice that you already thought of yourself - if you can, then please talk to me, or to someone.

Blessings my friend x
