Conversations With Myself & Appologies

by | Mar 27, 2006 | Grades, Work, Spiritual, Pagan, LiveJournal

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 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)

DAMN SNOW

Bloody Typical!!

When I was in work and wanted snow, there was none, No lie-ins, no working from home. And now I’m on holiday we have snow.

I just walked into my place to grab a quick change before going out training and as i entered my place there was the faintest covering of white on the ground. When I walked out 15 minutes later the snow is up to an inch deep, and still snowing hard. Looks like the weather people are right, with their predictions of 10inches deep snow by the weekend…

Bugger, means several nights missed training this week, so much for the student of the month trophy!

Snow, Snow, Wonderful Snow

The world looks a lot nicer when its covered in a small blanket of snow!

Now if it just keeps up all day and night, maybe I can get snowed in tomorrow and get 1 day working from home due to snow this year.
