Who do you think you are?

Listening to: A lot of bloody talk and very little music on Radio One!
Feeling: Analytical


Beliefs lead to thoughts and feelings, which in turn produce behaviours

Lying on the Settee last night, admiring the remains of the sun reflecting on the opposite houses and watching the conifer trees sway in the breeze, put me in a rather reflective mood.
The television was not because I had a headache and o/h had gone to bed for a lye down cos she was tired…fine pair of lightweights.
Amongst other things, I recalled how I was always puzzled that two people could look at the same object or situation with different feelings and descriptions. Despite the subject under examination not changing.
This was explained, when I undertook an Emotional Intelligence course. It’s to do with the fact that we bring ideas into the equation, thoughts feelings and emotions based on previous experience, including our up bringing.

Failing to let go of the past is like Monkeys who will not let go of the peanut, trapped in a coconut shell, the Borneo tribesman just reel in the shell and capture the monkey. So learning to let go is a good basis for change.

O/h eventually emerges about 9 o’clock and I went to shop to get some cat food and litter for the tray. We have seven cat’s ranging in age from 9 months to 5 yrs. It’s fun to watch them in the garden, trying to catch small midges or stalking birds.

I do not know if it was tiredness, or just lack of attention to detail, but I bought 10 cans of cat food and did not notice when I unpacked 9. So on the way to work today I braked at an island and heard a loud thud coming form the back of the car. At first I thought I had been hit but then soon realised the source was an errant can of Tesco premium cuts lol

The good thing about going to the supermarket that time of night is the bargains. I managed to get a crusty tin loaf for 10p.
Let me say here that I refuse to pay silly prices for bread. No flippin surprise Man does not live by bread alone, with most brands over £1.00 I can believe it!

Later I watched a programme called extreme party, which showed two groups. One a group of gay clubbers visiting Amsterdam, whilst high on (40+ ) magic mushrooms. The other a Rugby club team (lads in 20’s) at a club disco. The programme filmed both teams whilst they were off the heads, then played it back to them when they were sober

A psychologist commented with a view that the gay clubbers will die early because of the abuse their bodies take and the Rugby players seem to undertake a lot of homo-erotic initiation behaviour… basically they were getting naked and wanking each other off, on camera!
The psychologists view was that the Rugby initiation behaviour was less than voluntary for many of them and whilst they took part this was because of a fear of exclusion from the group. A bit like public school peer pressure I imagine.

Anyway I thought it coincidental that I had read a blog yesterday about a person sending a picture of his male appendage and here I am watching more displays of manhood. Am I missing something or should I also be feeling the need to exhibit? Does it make you any more male ?



I might not be an exhibitionist but I am confidently male so, for the time being, I think I’ll keep it in my trousers, or private viewings only lol


Take care
