I have finished reading The Secret but am not going to comment about it until at least 2 other people have read it... then I may just reveal what I think about the secret The Secret reveals... I can say that it has affirmed a lot of things I have been doing in my life. It is always a source of wonder when one gets pointed in a direction and once on the journey things happen that reassure you that what you are doing is the way to go. As KatieB put it so well recently it is "Like having your own cheer leading team" but of course the best is that we all have the Greatest Cheerleader of them all on our side.
Another great cheerleader is TUT, sign up for the Notes from the Universe and let PIP change your life.

You'll be in my heart
Today's thoughts are inspired by Phill Collins a great song writer and quite an interesting person, I am quite impressed with his Littledreams Foundation, great to see it when someone can plough back some of his time and talent like he does. Tonight I watched CSI, very sad episode where the one cop has his adopded daughter come back and mess things up, made me realise how lucky I am to have two wonderful kids that are a real blessing. The song is for them as well.
You'll be in my heart - Phill Collins
Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here don’t you cry
For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can’t be broken
I will be here don’t you cry
And you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart
Always
Why can’t they understand the way we feel
They just don’t trust what they can’t explain
I know we’re different but deep inside us
We’re not that different at all
And you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart
Always
Don’t listen to them, cause what do they know
We need each other, to have and to hold
They’ll see in time, I know
When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on
They’ll see in time,
I know
We’ll show them together because...
You’ll be in my heart
I believe, you’ll be in my heart
I’ll be there from this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart always
Always...
I’ll be with you
I’ll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I’ll be there always

Spring has sprung
Spring has sprung. We're free at last, people. Free at last. Thank you mother nature, we're free. Time to toss open that metaphysical window and check out that psychic landscape. See lots of possibilities budding out there. Time to hoe those rows, feed that seed. Pretty soon you get a garden. Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, Northern Exposure, A Wing and a Prayer, 1994
2 Quotes for today... read the blog to get to the second one! Spring, a new beginning, a new season, a time of year I enjoy a lot, I really think that we are blessed to live in this great country. Our seasons are truly magnificent although I do sometimes wish it would snow more in winter!
Some Geraniums from my Dad's garden to celebrate Spring Day with!
Been watching "Still Breathing" tonight, I really enjoyed it, so diffrent to the usual, and soooo romantic... Makes me think of waay back when and this is the song.
THE RAIN THE PARK AND OTHER THINGS - The Cowsills
I saw her sitting in the rain,
raindrops falling on her.
She didn't seem to care.
She sat there and smiled at me.
And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she could make me happy (happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.
I love the flower girl, oh, I don't know just why.
She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl, she seemed so sweet and kind.
She crept into my mind.
Suddenly the sun broke through (see the sun).
I turned around she was gone (where did she go).
And all I had left was one little flower from her hair.
But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she had made me happy (happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.
Now off to bed and day two of spring 2004...

The Giant and the Glory
This is amazing, found this on APOD today,
as well as a link to the next one.
This is one site I visit each day to see the latest in nature's wonders. Well worth bookmarking imho. The images there make one realise how Great God is, truly His Glory is revealed in nature and all we witness in our lives.
I also notice I have new neighbours on the Ageless project site, welcome to Master Of The House above me and Uncommon Thought and Waar was ik? below me, great to have you there.
Been to see Hidalgo again, enjoyed it even more than the first time, most probably because of the fine company as well.
Tonight I sign out with Delta Goodrem a lass from Australia that has been making some beautifull music. Here is a snipper from Not me not I;
You mixed me up for someone
Who'd fall apart without you
Yeah you broke my heart for the first time
But I'll get over that too
It's hard to find the reasons
Who can see the rhyme?
I guess that we where seasons out of time
I guess you didn't know me
If you think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
Surprised that I caught you out
On every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not me, not I, not I, no not me, not I

Instruments of change
How does one change? I really don't know, all I know is that I am not the same as a few years ago. My theory is that you change from within and from outside, from within due to introspection and self apraisal and from outside through the people you meet and that surround you. Another aspect of change is habits... hard to change unless you use replacement as a means to effect the change, by this I mean learn a new good habit to change/replace a bad one... it works... PIP is an example of this change of habit, when you feel like the world is squashing you... squash back!
Now for something amazing, was browseing the Tickle site and did the "What is your lucky number" test and got this result: RobC you are a Four!
As a 4, you're no stranger to melodrama. What's that? Are those violins playing gently in the background? And like all good performers, you are in touch with a variety of your inner characters. You've got all the angst of an early '90s garage band, but fortunately it fuels your creative urges and helps you relate to others. When your friends aren't giving you a standing ovation, they're sharing their feelings because you really listen. 4s have an inner Vasco De Gama of sorts, as they fearlessly explore uncharted emotions within. As a Romantic, you enjoy emotion whether it's watching a sappy John Hughes film for the 20th time since high school or pursuing that mysterious lover who doesn't know you exist. But be careful, road kill just might take you a little longer than your friends to get over. And ending a relationship of any kind might send you straight into a depression you oblige with a healthy dose of Peter Gabriel or Enya. At your best, you can harness your emotions like few others to produce unique expressions of yourself. Your need to "feel" might lead you to commit risky acts that could hurt you. Some fellow 4s J.D. Salinger, the Artist-who-can't-stop-changing-his-name-to-Prince, would you care to chime in? But trusting your self-knowledge gives you an advantage that others lack. All in all, it's not a bad gig being a 4.
Sounds crazy but a lot is true... and I have taken this test on three diffrent occasions too! Well on to the violins...
Intrumental music is something that is scarcely heard these days, if it does not have vocals it is not played! I wonder why? I can still remember some great ones from the past like Apache by the Shadows, thank goodness some groups keep up the tradition. Safri Duo is one as well as Blue Man Group, both use pecussion instruments to get the message across. Then we have the more classical inclined like Vanessa Mae with Destiny as well as Bond the four girl group that play their violins with such passion while still looking stunning. Must get a listen to their new CD Classified. As we have no lyrics today I am signing off with this though provoking poem that has elements of all my thoughts today.
Road Kill - Harry Edward Gilleland
Strange how weird thoughts enter my mind.
I’ll be thinking something, then they jump right in,
like how when I was much younger, I wasn’t so kind,
not as caring and sympathetic as I might have been.
Take whenever I’d be the one to create more road kill :
Once while driving along in my VW bug, windows down,
wind blowing my hair – yes, back then I HAD hair still –
I ran over two huge grasshoppers, with a loud crunching sound.
They were too busy copulating in the middle of the road
to jump away. I shouted “Look! I just squashed a romance.”
(I know, bad as “Frog legs for supper!” for a flattened toad...)
I enjoyed making a joke out of road kill at every chance.
Nobody cares about bugs or toads, but how about a cat?
Once this young cat darted into the street in front of my car.
Hearing the thud, I looked back. He was alive – I saw that...
I said “Well, he’s down to eight! That’s one life he lost so far.”
I drove on my way that day, giving that hurt cat not a care
35 years ago. Nowadays he lives in my dreams, making me cry.
I feel his suffering. I see a child grieving over her pet so dear.
How I hope he survived, that I wasn’t the reason for him to die.

一真 One Reality
Sometimes I want to post real serious stuff but they do not fit in with the theme of lightheartedness and PIP... so heceforth the more sombre stuff will go to One Reality, a place of serious thought and views of the Blue Dot ... The Japanes characters is the Zen thing... Aways wanted to do a Zen thing... In the meantime a few lines I penned today...
Salad Day - Robert Le Noury
Whipped cream, salad and ice cream
wondering what I will dream
my mind in a quandry
I find life a mistery
full of suprises and miracles
emotions and commotion
too much to handle in one mind
needing restfull devotion...
Yeah... some days are diamonds some are gold, today was a gem at the end, got a beautiful SMS from my daughter, from the heart, laced with gold and diamonds it was... As I sit here reflecting on the people that I care for my PC plays some great music... Then I listen closely to the Spice Girls and Viva Forever, somehow the song strikes a chord and tonight I will share a verse;
Viva Forever - Spice Girls
Back we're I belong now,
Was it just a dream?
Feelings unfold,
they will never be sold
And the secret's safe with me
Hasta Manana, Always be mine
Had a long chat to a friend of the female species [cancerian subgenus] this evening before going around to visit Chucky and her kittens who are all doing very well by the way... Sometimes I think us males are the dumbest creatures ever created... Yep! The secret is safe with me. Makes me want to laugh out loud. Magnetic Fields was also a subject discussed so I have dug up the links to Stephin Merritt's music just for you! 69 Love Songs is the 3CD album he produced in 1999 with the song All my little words, must try and get them. Les amis pour jamais. Once again the day draws to a close and the music plays Carly Simon and Your so vain;
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Some people hide their pain behind vanity and facades, I have learnt that this causes the worst pain. Oh! Got the pc fixed...

Resurfacing, sound the claxon!
Revelation is sometimes so subtle.
Some things work... Sent in my income tax assesments a month ago and what do I see when I logged in this afternoon? Payola! and more than I had worked out as well. Part will be used to pay off that budget account for the Blue Bus/Ou TieR aka my classic (read old) Leyland Mini 1275 circa 1981, most of my mates agree I seem to have picked up a bargain, the car is in good nick rustwise, redone motor and the brakes work... what else does one need? It gives 13k/L wich is pretty good considering I was pushing her a bit too see what would pop... Clocks 130k on the freeway... probably 120k groundspeed, feels like 180 being so close to the tarmac, I forgot how close to a go-kart a mini feels... Great stuff...
This comes back to yesterdays thoughts on PIP = positive image projection, I made it up! Henceforth to be used in place of Positivity... Yeeeugh... My PIP must be working because a lot of things are just working in my life. Even the boss is not pissed because my buget projection has not been completed yet, not my fault the vendor was in Nippon on a trip? Better not push it though... the report has to be done by Wednesday afternoon...
Now I need to get my PIP working on my lovelife...
To be continued after the Flat Track comitee meeting...
Meeting over, 2 hours flat and then a walk down memory lane... I must say it is going much better than last year, the team all know their jobs and get down and do it... Next one will be more difficult as we have to get a MotoX team off the ground to organise the next regional but I see no real problems as most of the guys want to be involved... especially if it involves a few six packs after the sweat...
Tea Freaks... where do they come up with the names sometimes? Music is good though, Arms of Orion has a great rythym. I keep getting weird looks when I play this stuff? Techno, Trance, House... all cool stuff with great beats, then they wonder why I love dancing... Well so what... they don't know what they are missing, although a nice close dance with a loved one takes some beating too... Yeah you got it, I am a beatfreak! Never used to move ma body but these days I would much rather be out on the floor than next to the bar... Can't wait for the end of the month when we are planning a dirt bash at the track... should be fun dancing in the dirt... Although it is still technically winter we should keep everyone warm with the right music plenty to eat and some bonfires and OBS...
I think I will start seting up a cool playlist so as to give me some time on the floor/dirt.
Happy grateful by Ephemera is the reverse of the coin, I last heard that style in the '70's, almost like the Yardbirds or Mama's and Papa's even like The Beach Boys. Cools song and downloadable on the website. I notice they played on David Bowie's gig last month in Bergen. The latest song Hey is Trip-Hop... Just downloaded it, so diffrent from earlier stuff, cool... real cool... I love it. I am glad they put some song on the site, I get funny looks when I ask for cd's of them here...
Bowie has always been a fav of mine although to date I have not bought any cd's exept one or two compilation's that had some of his songs included. Will have to rectify...

Boogie wonderland - Earth Wind and Fire has just popped up... What a great show that was, we went to see Boogie Nights a few weeks ago, great music from the Seventies, had us dancing in the isles by the end of the show. Great fun for all who love music from that era, hope they do one again next year.
Oh, the revelation thing? I have once again realised that one is on this dot to LIVE and not crawl away into a hole, hence the resurface thing, I want to be out there, Loud and Proud and living life to the edge. The past is done and the future is now.

I hate mondays
First day back at work after a week off... why did I do it? Should have done as one old wag that used to work here... Always came back on a thursday just to take the friday and would be back the next wednesday. He said the looong weekend was a way to gradualy ease back into the daily grind... Sometimes I think that is the way to go... gently and gradually. But what the heck that does not get the adrenalin pumping!
I am all for progress but sometimes it does not make sense to chuck a system out that works for one that has more unknowns than a swiss cheese has holes... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is one of my standard axioms. I am ranting about our changeover to a certain new system that shall remain nameless, hope the bastards get bought out by Oracle... or even better by Bill himself!(Big evil grin)Then I can say "I told you so!"
Talk about bringing home the washing, enough shop talk... Lets talk about fun...
Spidey 2 is showing and I may just take an afternoon off this week and take in some arachnoid mayhem and madness. I have looked at the playlist and may just buy the soundtrack, love the lyrics of Hoobastank's Did you;
Did you say everything you could?
Do the things that you thought you would?
Did it ever occur to you that this could be your final day?
Did you go where you wanted to go?
Learn about what you wanted to know?
Did you ever really give something back instead of always taking it?
Did you find what your looking for?
Did you get your foot in the door?
Can you look at yourself and feel proud of all the things you've done?
Did you inspire the ones that you knew?
Make a difference to those who knew you?
Did you finally figure out what it is that makes us who we are today?
(Chorus)
Don't waste another day
You know I know where you get one
Don't waste another day
To do anything you haven't done
Great words that are very inspiring, makes one want to get up and bungeeeeee!
Picked up 2 more cd's yesterday as well, Maroon5 Songs about Jane and Placebo Without you I am nothing, Maroon is one of my daughter's fav bands and I love their music as well, two quess's where this cd will end up? Placebo has always facinated me with their style and lyrics, not a very popular band on the airwaves here but I dig them... Every you every me is one of my favourites as well as The bitter end wich has one of the best driving beats ever.
If I carry on like this I will HAVE to build that Industrial look entertainment centre just to store all the cd's. Polished steel shelves and rough wood with 12v open wiring lighting... Should look stunning...
Mmm that reminds me... I have 80 certificates to finish before Thursday.
Oh, one good thing about mondays... You can phone a work number and find out the mobile was out of airtime and Mom is much better!
Positivity works... What a crap word! I hate some of these newenglish speakeasy type words... sheesh why can't we use plain old fashioned words? Oh, dont make me go to txtspk! However having a consise txtspk dictionary does help and communicating in txtspk on a mobile makes a lot of sense but hey, don't use it in mail or reports... very unkewl. If you do run across this perloin it, purchase it or do whatever you have do to get your grubby hands on it so as to enable you to understand the person texting you; TXTmaniacs - published by Geddes & Grosset - ISBN 1 84205 178 4, well worth the £2.3 or R13.95 I paid at PaperWeight.
**If you could have another shot at it all would you do it just the same?** Hoobastank - Did you.
I am all for progress but sometimes it does not make sense to chuck a system out that works for one that has more unknowns than a swiss cheese has holes... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is one of my standard axioms. I am ranting about our changeover to a certain new system that shall remain nameless, hope the bastards get bought out by Oracle... or even better by Bill himself!(Big evil grin)Then I can say "I told you so!"
Talk about bringing home the washing, enough shop talk... Lets talk about fun...
Spidey 2 is showing and I may just take an afternoon off this week and take in some arachnoid mayhem and madness. I have looked at the playlist and may just buy the soundtrack, love the lyrics of Hoobastank's Did you;
Did you say everything you could?
Do the things that you thought you would?
Did it ever occur to you that this could be your final day?
Did you go where you wanted to go?

Dragons and Monsters
Second posting for the day, as I promised myself I would cast my thoughts in stone before turning in each night.
Now to fight a bug before it becomes a monster, as my mantra goes; Before you need a suit of armour and claymore to slay the Dragon (thing you fear) squash it as a bug...
Acknowledge your Jealousy.
Ask yourself where it is coming from.
Question why it makes you feel Jealous.
Make self-health and lifestyle changes that will assist you in fighting it off.
Combine jealousy with a more rational emotion.
Practice!
It sounds sooooo easy... Sitting at home not getting answers from the phone makes me paranoid and feelings of losing controll are not my scene... Not after all the work I have done to banish the demons of the past.
Pink says it all in Last to know.
You thought you know me
I guess you didn't
You thought you had me
I think you didn't
You thought you knew me
But you didn't
Strange as it seems I do believe that when tomorrow comes around this feeling would have passed... hopefully... I may even laugh about what I am feeling now.
I am thinking of reviving my old Geocities site, even if it is just to link pictures... Will do some more fiddling with the interface this week, I seem to need Win 98 at least... Pwha Humbug!
More tomorrow...
