Something about mostly nothing..

While the rest of the world appears to be enjoying a nice warm summer, over here in the Mourne Mountains, autumn has already made it’s entry. As I lookout the window, the wind is howling, rain is clattering against the window, and in general it feels like time to light the fire!

I was just looking for some ideas ( that’s what Sunday mornings are for) and came across this gem:

Here’s to the crazy ones.

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine.
They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some may see them as the crazy ones, others see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

(Loosely based on ‘Here’s to the crazy ones’ from Jack Kerouac’s book ‘On the Road’)

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

From now I can make my own decissions, and do as I like. The ‘New World’ we seem to have entered recently, seems to require a lot of thinking outside the box.
To do that, one has to sit down and look at the box, to determine it’s size and limits.

..my new mobile office..

For the moment my new box looks like this..

With my newly acquired freedom comes the realisation that my list of things I’d like to do, probably is longer than my expected presence on this earth. So, in looking for the ultimate todo list I stumbled upon this site..

And of course, Leo has some other good stuff to say about himself.

Enjoy!!

It’s good to have a son who knows about peace of mind! Of course you can share in the fun by visiting his website. I needed the peace of mind because I have discovered the meaning of the word sciatica. It has kept me occupied these last couple of months. But, thanks to countless exercises, I’m coping pretty well! 

(That limp I have is just to make you all feel sorry for me, I’m just pretending, honest!  After Easter, someone is gonna stick a syringe filled with extra-strength poteen in my spine, and I’ll be totally fit again.)

And if you wonder why I’m linking this here? First to see if anybody actually visits this page, secondly, because he’s me son, and thirdly, it actually works! And with a bit of luck and encouragement, I’m trying to adapt his system to our needs, as in creating a method to give us super concentration when it comes to flying at contests. (Contests in the widest sense, any time you hold a tranny is a contest for most of us )

I’ll try to follow this up with a bit more substance, but, no matter how relaxed I feel, I still need to fix up a few websites ASAP!

So, in the meantime, go have a look, and don’t be afraid to try this. It won’t hurt, you’re only talking to your Self. And no, we are not brainwashing you!
