Existence has a kind of hum to it, a bit like a tuning fork, a background frequency that all that exists hangs off of. Everything abides to natures being, everything goes with the flow… except us! Society in itself has disfigured, too many people are just wrong, the harmony that is essential in our unification with the root chord of nature is off key. Unfortunately the trend is set to get worse, I am not a doom mongerer, I am a realist! I have always been confused by people with big ideas for the future, which in itself is not a bad thing, but I always aspire to the inevitable, the society that has evolved around us is fracturing and will collapse. That melody that once sang out in my years of innocence has faded into the distance, with only an occasional echo in times of felicity. But everyday I strive pointlessly to get it all back in tune…

Getting a bit fed up of blogging… I seem to have lost the enthusiasm. Maybe I need to do something worth writing about. Oh well…

Pausing for thought early on a Sunday morning I consider the connection of events and circumstances that put me here. Fate is a funny thing, I strive to accept it and move on and don’t yield to the sometimes seductive pull of self-pity. After all portraying myself as a victim will only threaten the future as uncertain as it is. My overall outlook is positive, I’m very fortunate in lots of ways just a bit unlucky at times, my biggest failing is motivation, I draw that from motivated people and if they are nowhere to be seen I tend to stagnate. But when I have that alter-ego to bolster me I can be very constructive. So I have kicked and screamed a bit recently for that attention I need to progress and so far, things are going well…

I’ve been slack! Things kind of uneventful so had no motivation to scrawl all my ramblings here. I finished that course at the Product Development Center last night, got a couple of books and a certificate. Oddly the guy, Martin Bates who ran the course visited my work today with a couple of other guys doing electronic degrees, he popped into the electronic department where I work and we all had a good natter about the things we do… strange. Looking at houses with Kayleigh as feeling the need to move asap, but the inevitable Christmas period looms! Decided I shall park my car up with a SORN declaration when the tax runs out as I can cycle/train/walk to work, It’s 15mins to the station, 20mins on the train and a half hour walk to work at the other end, will also save me money. Well that’s it really, in a nutshell…

The European Union Commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty’s Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).
In the first year, “S” will be used instead of the soft “C”. Sertainly sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also the hard “C” will be replaced with “K”. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters will have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when “the troublesome “Ph” will be replased with “F”. This will make words like “Fotograf 20% shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent “E’s” in the laguag is disgrasful, and they to would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “Z” & “W” with,” V”
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “O” kan be dropd from vords Containing “OU” and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer ve vil hav a reli sensible riten styl. Zer vil b no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil hav finali kum tru!
