Conversations With Myself & Appologies
This is going to be an odd post, I am apologising for something that has not yet happened, and in fact may never happen. But I wish to apologise anyway, just because I am a nice guy!.
I was driving home from training last night, bored on the journey due to the distance and the fact most the road is currently undergoing roadworks so is restricted at 40.
To entertain itself during the trip, my mind was having a conversation with itself, well conversation is the wrong word I was thinking out some stuff, working out some things I need to do, and deciding what was the best way to do them. As I had almost decided on a course of action a voice in my mind said “you don’t want to do that” and proceeded to remind me of a memory.
I should take a second out to explain that there is a background voice in my head that seems to work faster than my normal thought, and has better access to my memories, I tend to consider it my subconscious mind, seeing as science tells us that is the more powerful part of the human mind.
Anyway the voice re-played a dream I had a few months back, at the time I thought nothing much of the dream, as it was gibberish. For starters the dream started as I was driving back from a grading session at the dojo, and it was a work day. which is wrong as we always grade on a sunday (We graded yesterday on a work day!).. anyway without going into details, the dream ended with some bad things happening to some people, nothing too serious, but still not good, so last night as I drove I had to re-think my plans.
So I was hit with a dilemma. Do I take the dream as something that could happen and change my plans to suit, do I ignore it as a case of deja-vu (which would be a very good deja-vu seeing as several conversations and events were word perfect with my dream), or do I do nothing. After considering the options i decided feck it. I’m going to do as I did in the dream, but with this apology to cover any bad vibes I get. I also think that at the end of everything, when all the dust clears, everyone will be better off..
So all’s well that ends well…
So.. My apologies to those involved..

Justice is Served!
Sometimes something happens that reaffirms your belief in the universal Justice of the universe (call it Karma, Fate, or whatever your metaphysical name for the concept is!).
Here’s todays Universal Justice.
Over the weekend there was snow, lots and lots of snow. So this morning as I got ready to drive to work my car was encased in about 6 to 7 inches of snow. The outer covering of which had frozen into a hard shell. So I cleaned off the windows and proceeded to drive to work. Now my journey takes me over the moors, the mountains, and some very twisty roads that have several crashes a week even in the best conditions. So due to the snow and ice I was driving at a reasonable speed. And some idiot behind me was tailgating and trying to force me to drive faster. (I hate idiots like that!).
Well as we were driving i heard a bump.. bang.. bump.. bang on the roof of the car, the next second my rear window is completely white as the snow from my roof all falls off at the same time. so we talking a block of snow, 1.5meters by 1.75meters by 6 inches all falling off in one piece. What made it even better was the fact the idiot behind me was so close it either hit the road directly in front of him, or bounced off his bumper. Either way the outer shell shattered and all that soft fluffy snow billowed out in a huge cloud blinding the driver, and forcing him to pull off the side of the road.
When he eventually caught back up with me, he drive at a reasonable speed, and kept a safe distance away from my car :0)
So Fate had taught him a safe lesson.
Sometimes life is good!
The cheek of some people.
Well I had a nice week off work, Sometimes you just need to get away from the office and the petty politics that always seems to be going on in the background. And as i was told I had to use up all spare holidays before April, I took a week off to chill. Which we all need to do from time to time.
It was a good week, I got some private stuff done, I got to go visit some old american friends who by pure fluky luck were doing a flying visit to the uk, I went out for a nice meal and pissup with my father and a bunch of friends. Ok i did not get to visit some places I had hoped to, due to getting snowed in. but on the whole it was a good week.
then came saturday morning, and the arrival of the post. Just one letter for me, a bunch of papers from liverpool law courts informing me i was being sued for £6500 + solicitors fees. “What would a sweet, innocent bloke like you get sued that much for?” I hear you cry. well for car hire! let me explain, many many months ago I was in a car crash, I actually crashed into a car that had just crashed into another car. As normal in such situations the insurance companies sorted it all out amongst themselves and everyone was happy. Or should have been. but the cheeky father of one of the girls involved the the crash is now suing me for 6 grands worth of car hire, for the short time his daughter was car-less. 6 Grand? What did he hire, a Rolls?
On a good point, they had messed up on the legal papers, with his solicitors getting my name wrong, details of the crash wrong, who was driving the car wrong, and many other things, so hopefully it will all get laughed out of court as it should be. Failing that I drive past his house on my way to work, And I know where I can get my hands on some dangerous reptiles.
Anyway, its not healthy to worry about things, you loose sleep, and it helps nothing. So to look forward to good things, Its fencing tonight, and there will be a full on shinai fight, so thats something to look forward to…
The White Peacefulness

You have to admit the world looks peaceful and quiet when covered by a layer of snow. I think all peace talks should always be held in a winter country..
UPDATE:
Its great living in the middle of nowhere. The roads here are just getting gritted, but not by snow gritters like the rest of the country, but by two council workers walking along the road with shovels and bins of grit :0)
