Itzy and Bitzy: My love kittens

I now have no cats, but once there were two. I bought two black females back in 2004 and named them Itzy and Bitzy, i still don’t really know why?.

I loved Bitzy more than Itzy but she was so wild and free, i let her have total freedom. This inevitably meant she was outside all the time and only came back for food, then out again, and because i never kept her in, she started living outside more and more. I wouldn’t see her for days, eventually she just left home and the cat i loved most became a stranger, even not recognising me when i saw her. I know she’s still around the neighbourhood, but she’s her own cat, and such is life.

Itzy liked to stay in more and really loved her food, she stayed with me until i realised she should go, so i could have better relations with neighbours. I cried for days when she left, but knew it was for the best. Under different circumstances she would still be with me. Itzy taught me the value of love and i’ll always have a ‘little bit of love in my heart for her’.

Then a strange thing happenend: I read that the ‘Mayan Wizard King’ was the chief possessor of ‘itz’, and it was the ‘cosmic sap’ or magical liquid of shamans and alchemists, which can be used to heal or kill.

Lets just say Itzy lived-up to her name. She is gone to live-out her days with another, but she will never be forgotten.

We are all held back

What am i on about? Life in England, thats what. But why do i think this?. My country has ‘oppression’ in bucket-fuls and a pecking-order in the most important places.

I think that if the average man didn’t have so many ‘goods’ he could buy and always on ‘tantalising offer’ [at a price of course] he wouldn’t ‘put-up with’ [accept] living this way so freely, as he so readily does today.

Who and what is keeping it all-in-place? [we are] obviously. Much of any ‘fight’ we have inside ourselves is directed at keeping the status quo. Our ‘collective stupidity’ [on purpose] is done so as to keep the life we know ‘going-along’ nicely, it is not just the banks who say “business as usual”.

A collective following to a ‘doom’, and all we can do is laugh as we do it, somehow knowing what we are doing is wrong, but not stepping-back inside ourselves to do anything about it. I can be just as guilty of this as anyone else.

There is a prescribed-path, i see it everyday, i step off it onto a ‘lost highway’, but its not where most people would choose to go, even i know i must get back in to the place/position, which i have no choice but to occupy; to think otherwise with any thoughts of escape, would only lead you back, from whence you came.

I’ve never heard any person actually say this, but its said in other forms and always permeates the skin/brain… “you will never get more than you’ve always had” in this country. We all know this, and as a ‘people’, we come to accept that it is our way-of-life.

The ‘doors’ are holding us back, staying firm, for our ‘own good’, not wanting it any other way. Locked-in we need this straight-minded approach to be able to live with the ‘breaking-the-rules’ part of the equation which goes side-by-side with the above.

England is weird, a country always yearning for change and getting it despite its self. From the primordial soup came a race who never stopped being the warriors of old. Do you recognise yourself? i doubt it, as we are so multi-minded; England is all [as different] as every individual-mind in the country.

Revelation: 3

‘Life’ is a funny old game, someone once said. Laughter is important, but always in the right context. Ever felt you were out-of-order?, a shared experience is worth its weight in gold; hungry mouths need feeding. I could go-on but won’t, it is just pat-philosophical words, meaning ‘nothing much’.

There has been only one bit of recurring ‘advice’ inside my mind all my life and today i’m going to share it with anyone who reads this. Something which i know is important, but its true meaning to humankind is even lost on me somewhat, although i know what i feel about it, and that is to be kept to myself, until [when or if] it becomes necessary to do something with it.

It is a simple dictum… “Nobody is free until everybody is free”.

Here is a small thought on it… how can we say this is my freedom, if it stops or robs another, or even [the many] of their’s. This is what i’m saying, i think.

I also promised you a word of the numerical value of 18, saying its a real beast. That word is **** [in a moment]. It is what i have for Astrology and what we all have ‘within’ and its their even for those who feel it can only come from without. It is also there in ‘just being’ but its a ‘beast’ because to tackle it and wrestle with it, is one of the hardest fights we do; although most times no fight is needed to receive it. I talk of one thing only; it is the one and only…

It simply ‘IS’ LOVE !!

Friday Night Blog 32

I’ve been inspired to continue on this blog due to some nice comments, it seems to be something people like to read, and less i disappoint i continue.

I am always looking for a bigger audience but being me, it is usually an organic affair rather than a calculated punt, [you see, despite what and how i say it] i have no real agenda to push. I might just be fooling myself, but even that is ok, if i feel i can live with it at the end of the day.

You see, i am just not at great liberty to produce ‘posts’ as freely as may come across in the ‘words’, in fact, i write under great strain, comparable to past ‘soviet’ authors, who did what they could under adverse conditions.

The above may seem a joke, but let me explain…

I live around [closely in] a block of 6 flats/houses and whenever i fire-up my computer ‘all hell breaks loose’, simply my neighbours don’t like me bashing-away as it disturbs their peace, its just a feeling of ‘work being done in the home environment’. It may seem odd to say this, but i live in an odd place.

Anyhow, what is the best thing to happen this past week?

Putting a new header on one of my astrology blogs was ‘tops’, then sitting and drinking ‘tea’ with an old friend who laughed when i admitted to a lifelong habit of ‘bitching, came next. There were other good times too, most too personal to recount here.

Friday Night Blog 31

Friday Night Blog 31; it returns for this week only, we’ll see about more, inside my mind later.

Right; so what is there to say?

1: The Daniel Pinchbeck book on 2012 is a stunning read, it sums up most of life’s deeper experiences; if you’ve ever lived life off the prescribed path then you’ll relate to this book, haven’t finished it yet, so still am looking forward to 2012 !

2: To answer an earlier question, the King of Beasts is the Lion; so Leo. The nastiest  planet is Mars, although Saturn may have something to say about that; on this point ‘the benefics’ when in detriment can turn quite nasty too, i’ve found.

3: Numerology; i have found another word with 18 as the words number value, sure Money is a beast, but later i’m going to write about one which’ll really get ya, and its a real beast.

4: Must get more rest, and radio and comedy/sport into my life, as these help me to live and laugh and relax.

5: Money, i think Obama is truly something we haven’t seen the like of before, but even he may of bitten off more than he can chew with the banks? we’ll see, good one though.

Now to enjoy the weekend, bye.

Its become a joke, but…

no-one is laughing anymore. What am i referring to? Bank[ers] and us their [users/customers] who laughingly ‘how else could the media report it’ tell us on the news programmes any hurt they feel will be passed back to us. It seems to me they can get anything they want [at no cost] to themselves, will they ever be truly penalised for what they do, no, because it is not in the nature of the field they work in. Expansion and making it, is the way of things and God forbid they are ever stopped from it, their life-blood. Repentance is hard when there is so much at stake, it really is business as usual. But remember they are making their millions in income for us, so are you going to cut-off the hand that feeds? No, of course you’re not. They have you by the short and curlies and it is your system, its mine to, i cannot escape it even if i wanted, the only thing that could help me is the one thing which binds me, yes… [MONEY], the missing link is this… they do it for the very same reason, to climb above the pit most of us are in. Someone once said to me… that it is the millionaires who pay my dole money, yes, but it is also the millionaires who keep me on the dole, in a roundabout way. Find those missing links !! Greed is good but Need is better, for them anyway. You may think i’m going to go away not laughing, not so, i laugh heartily at the financial bulletins.

666 The number of the beast

So, come in number 9 your time is up. In numerology 6 plus 6 plus 6 equals 18 and 1 plus 8 equals 9 so 666 is in fact 9 [nine]. Here are some names that focus on one area; i’m not saying these are the only names related to the ‘nine’ factor , that would be silly, but nevertheless they are true.

Money [9]

The City [9]

Wall street [9]

A Pound or Pounds [9]

A Dollar or Dollars [9]

So we have a definite co-relation here, begging the question…

Is it the beast? Money?

Let’s not get carried away here…

As the finger could point anywhere

for example the name Barack equals 18

even my last name equals 18

So do i point my finger at the President of the USA? No

Do i look more closely at myself? As my surname [Nunn] equals 18.

Yes, actually i do, for no better reason than i am an introverted type.

Thats all folks.

Revelation: 2

Who is the king of the beasts?

Who is the nastiest planet?

What is happening in the skies for the next five months?

If you can answer these questions, you will be thinking as i do.

Watch-out for those Scorpion stings, is the ‘destroyer’ here?

Merry Christmas.

Revelation 1:

Revelation 1:

What is the Bible’s book of revelation all about? and has its time ‘truly’ come?
Answers on a post-card please. Seriously though…

Could it be a vision of a catastrophic end, perhaps an environmental disaster?

A warning of economics over everything else?

Perhaps it is just an unfolding story and a good read and something to ponder-on and surprise at.

It might even be…, well lets not get too carried-away here.

What or who is the Beast?

What does 666 actually represent? Any Numerology fans out-there?

I will return to this subject at a later date.

I am also reading  Daniel Pinchbeck’s 2012 book, for the astrological angle.

I want to say something positive… but can’t

Although my world could collapse due to changes in circumstances, i still realise just how lucky i am to be able to blog and sit this side of a cold outside wall in my flat; i am equally aware that if things don’t go according to plan there is a very real chance i could go hungry for many days. It is expensive living in England and what i have is mostly government provided these days, i could fall foul of a benefit system which is there to support me, especially as Christmas is a week away and it isn’t the best time to change benefits.

I am trying to say that although i have much to be thankful about, the maintaining of just the bare minimum is hard work. You can understand why your average Englander who finds themselves in a reasonable position will want to stay there, as usually a much worse ‘circumstance’ is possible.

So, although i may struggle for a while, there is really only one avenue open to me on the face of it, and that is ‘my fear and fun’, that is how you start to think and feel when your safety blanket is taken away. Suddenly that is the new mental state you incline to even when in reality, all that has gone is only your safe and secure feeling. Everything else remains just the same, or does it? maybe it has cut deeper than that. Money holds so many things together.

Has ‘Money’ gone away?

With the pre-budget speech given and Christmas soon to be here and everybody aware [ha ha] of just ‘what’ is happening with the bankers you’d be forgiven for thinking it. No money will raise its ugly head once again when the ‘party’s over’ and people look at how they’ll pay for everything. A wise man once told me… “that there is no such thing as a free lunch” which is especially true at the Christmas table. Of course he meant it in a far wider context.

I am a lucky one, as i have no choice but to make do with what little i have. I don’t have to ‘give up much’, but even i am now in debt  so that i may give a little to others this Christmas but i have chosen to do this.

It has been fun listening to the radio and people trying to scramble out of the hole and justifying just what it is they do and everyone supposedly looking for some kind of equality.

Still my beloved England which i have a love hate relationship to is still in debt and if things and people don’t seriously change their ways i think it will slide further into trouble.

Only recently the warning signs are there
Bankers, who so they say can help us get out the ‘our’ mess are refusing to play ball, and frankly how dare they!!
and Government bonds; again if those who ‘make money’ pull-out then it really is a sign of “rats deserting a sinking ship” and so the ‘debt’ which will sink ‘Great Britain’ if it continues, seems to be an ever tightening noose around the country’s neck.

One day the common man may end-up owning the country, but what kind of country ‘will it of become’ by then?

The mess we are in… unless… read on

Have you any money? If not, ‘not to worry’, you’ve probably little to lose when it all collapses [whoops sorry, it has already done that]. Sadly life is an investment and money for what it is worth nowadays is only part of the problem. Houses and land go after that and the gold, which is one thing worth having today will have to be spent on food eventually, unless all you want to do is wear your wealth and starve to death. Today the prime minister is speaking with a forked-tongue as he talks about this country [of ours] as tomorrow he’ll tell us all we are in a global marketplace, [i don't care where they say we stand anymore, as it is always different to what you think anyway]. He then talked about how we have no alternative to ‘getting back in bed’ with those people who used us, and of course he is right, but we are no more than spurned lovers now, returning because [we feel we have to]… well why do we do that? that is the real question we should be asking ourselves. He says it is all about ‘how’ and ‘what if’s’ but no, they make it sound as if all the choice we have left is to do it their way [and they will be proved right too].

Affectively this is what we are being told…

Sure, we have helped to make this mess ‘you’ find yourselves in, but you’ve got to trust us again or we’ll walk away and trade elsewhere and leave you where you sit. They can and will do it, [but they will not keep doing it time and again and again], if you do something about it, as ‘you’ are the only ones who can truly stop them. Perhaps it is time to cut-off the infected part to save the rest of the body. Finally don’t just listen to me, start thinking for yourself, grab and hold of your ‘bit’ before the dog eat dog world of banking comes scrounging around again.

As i see it, the issue is this…

I really despair when i think of the millions of pounds going to individuals, the real issue is are other individuals going to have enough money to buy their weekly food and keep warm, [have you seen the weather lately?] the rich aren’t freezing in a cold flat i bet. I truly believe we’ve finally reached the point where we can no longer deceive ourselves and others. Britain is going to lose out in the global market now taking shape and what happens when our country loses-out? we all start to wake-up to ourselves and we haven’t liked what we’ve seen in the past and the future no doubt. I am glad i’m unemployed in these times as we have a steady income and more importantly a limit to our wealth and we have our lives in our own hands up to a point. The answer is this… what if there isn’t a recovery and the banks true to form only ever look after their own interests above all, the banks are more powerful than the Queen and have you tried to live without money? sure the state can lock you up and even kill you but the banks can make everyday a living hell and that is worse. The bottomless pit is here and with profits over everything it will remain, where is your loyalty?

Action for Employment: A4E “Never saw me”

My view about being asked [obliged] to attend a years re-training at A4E

Haven’t the long-term unemployed had enough training in the last few years? And where has it got everyone involved?

They think we are hopeless cases, why don’t they recognise just what it is we do and harness that, and try and make that work in this world, no, the same old positions need filling and nothing changes as both sides are stuck in a disagreeable war and none will give a yard to the other. The People and the Government in this issue of “being put to work” makes the 1914-18 War seem like a Vicar’s tea party. Remember this; even their blurb in the papers state this situation has been ongoing for years and I suggest it will continue for some years yet. They should bring in arbitration of some kind to find a solution because at present it just isn’t working.

This is their thinking about me and those who haven’t worked for a while.

“If you are coming on FND, it means that other interventions in the past year have not worked. You will find there will be multiple issues. That person might come with a lot of aggression, or exceptionally low self-esteem and no confidence. Unless the adviser deals with that first, then pretty much everything else we do is wasted.”

My situation was different to the above quote, still I was dragged in and I had a lot going for me, tailored approach my arse, they just want to jump on whatever is going. They are the ones who keep in employment, you see they are higher-up the pecking-order.

This is the New Deal [in their words]. “Precisely what will happen to each individual depends on what advisers think is needed to transform them into successful job applicants”. It is simply this production-line mentality which I and others are subject to. I can only be sure of one thing and that is… I had more going for me in my life before A4E came offering to take me places that I had no intention of going to, and I will get it again after the year is up.

There is a line in the song by Crass which sums it up. To half quote “but they never saw me” if you know it, then you’ll know most of my situation.

Go ogle

Go and ogle my sons at the world and all its parts said the founders and the world obeyed and so the search was on, but for what?

that which people would like to have but cannot get,

and as long as this state of affairs continues

then the dream will be kept alive.

They still don’t get it

They still don’t get it the men and women who profit by the trading system, they still don’t seem to understand that if they take millions of pounds and what it does for themselves, the example it sets isn’t a good one for their work. So they have it as their wealth and it remains with them, fair enough, but then they expect there to be monies around with which they hope to make more from in the future whilst the average man is waking-up to just what they do. Put simply they try to have it both ways, the fact is if they keep the monies then it isn’t being put around for ‘all’ to share in and profit by, that is partly why their system has collapsed. Now, those who have large amounts of monies are looking further down the pecking-order for the whole thing to kick-off again but really those who cream-off the profits are the only ones who by giving something back can hope to re-start it and as far as my knowledge of human nature goes this doesn’t happen very often voluntarily but we’ll see what their wealth means to them one-day i’m sure. I think this situation can help us see just what the expectation of a life not yet gained can make people feel like “spiritually empty” that’s what.

In memory of…

We can all be very selfish and we all have a right to life and those who keep it to themselves are very foolish and sometimes it needs to be pointed-out that we all live off each other especially those close-by us. Death comes to us all but people who want to live and don’t and those that say they don’t and lie are lives apart, i will remember a good lady neighbour if i have any sense R.I.P. Mary.

Hello: I know i’m being read

Looking at my blog statistics it is obvious i’m still being read. I’m busy on my astrological sites now so no new material is forthcoming [but will be again soon]. Enjoy what has been written though. A unusual [to me], but not that strange ‘stat’ has got me wondering if i was being read by anyone in jail, if so, i have no comforting words, just hello to you.

Friday Night Blog 30

Back for one week only. The price of food is going up as we all know but what really miffs me is when i go shopping and nearly everything is £1 for each item. I think it has been creeping up like this for years but now we are almost conditioned and with no choice but to buy into this, and pay this way. Still with only £20 to buy mine and the cat’s food they can stuff themselves; that is until all the cheapie bargins are no longer found at the stores then it’ll be f**k me then. Good positive note is i’m losing weight. Bye.

My first email post

This is my first entry using the new WordPress feature. And it won’t be the last.

I am still around, a few words

I am still alive and blogging. I will be working on Health Media’s and Sport’s new Website next week; how they allow me with my knowledge to build a site for them when they have the potential to reach millions is beyond me, except that I know it is their mission to. Read their statement [taken from their blogs] “Health Media and Sport Limited aims to provide people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds with selected voluntary work opportunities in online and pre–press print production to enhance their future employment prospects”. so thankfully with this in mind, I continue for now.

Friday Night Blog 29

I was siting there and thinking, mainly about my blogs and what to write. And as I sat there, I said to myself, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to record my thoughts as I thought them, so as to reproduce them later, believing that I have something worth saying. It seemed like the stuff of science fiction, until I realised that I already have most of what I need with my memory and re-call; and for instant recording there is always a dicta phone. Inside our heads, as we think, we have a re-cycle bin, for anything not worth keeping, we all say words like crap and forget it to ourselves. Our brain and memory are the best model we have, so I am going to use them, remembering that if we use an external programme we have to use passwords etc but by just using our minds, we safely put our words under private lock and key. Moving on… I Googled ‘my name’ and in their blog section I saw there are other Robert Nunn’s who blog, or get blogged about. It pleased me to discover that I come up high on the listings. It was also interesting to see who else was there; I see there is a Robert Nunn who is an American sportsman/coach, but I never read anything about him, as I am English and I like Soccer. I think he was connected to The Green Bay Packers and now to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he seems very popular, at least if you search my name. It then got me thinking that perhaps those who search for him see my search results too. If you have started reading this blog for this reason, I say hello to you, and I hope you enjoy my words. Now, just as I have established my Friday Night Blog, I am going to pull the rug away, for a few weeks. Please forgive me, but I must spend what little spare-time I have on my other blogs, or they will never get started. See you again a little further on down the road. Robert.

Friday Night Blog 28

There is no Friday Night Blog tonight as such, as i’m bored with it, and have nothing worth saying anyhow, at present. I want to talk about blogs instead; recently I have made many new ones on both Blogger and WordPress, of which a lot of them have been doubled-up, to make a presence on these main blogging platforms. During this first six months of blogging, I have come to the belief that all I want to blog about, is myself and my two favourite subjects, astrology and music. The new astrological blogs I have made are on the subjects of the signs, houses and planets. There will also be a personal astrological blog, called myastrologicalchart. Then I intend to start putting my hand written astrological archives onto the web, which have been gathered over the past few years. Now having the tag-line of [the crazy blogging world] written on my Robert Nunn WordPress blog is becoming very apt when it comes to how many music blogs I have registered. I have now registered some punk band blogs but I am starting to think they will be too much work to maintain. I have seen from the two main music blogs which I already have, it takes quite a bit of work to look after them, especially if you want to do a decent job of it. These ‘punkband’ ‘labelled’ blogs came about after I had named some blogs after punk bands, for example, uksubs.wordpress.com etc only to have a pang of conscience, and think whether I really should have taken their names? hence I made my own series of [for example] punkbanduksubs.blogspot.com etc blogs, thinking it would be the best solution. But now I have these punk bands names that I registered, and seeing that no-one else used them, I feel it would be a criminal waste not to use them alongside my named [punkband] blogs, so that is what i’m going to do. It is a bit confusing to write here about punk bands and the blogs that I made called punkband[whoever], but I hope you ‘get’ what I mean.

Friday Night Blog 27

I don’t want to say much at present about general life; let me explain my life astrologically. Mercury is in my fourth house and the Sun has just moved out of the third, so it is a quiet time for me. Venus is in ‘mute’ Pisces on my third cusp, which quietens what I might have to say; basically life is reflecting my personal astrology. Of course the stars don’t keep still; this was the week that has just gone. Venus has now moved into Aries [as I publish this], and Mercury is in now in my fifth house, and Mars has moved into Aries. So we have a whole new set of challenges ahead of us.

Friday Night Blog 26

This week I have been spring cleaning at home and I will dump some rubbish on Sunday, and get a bike-ride into the bargain. I want to say a little more on what I mentioned last week about the verbal abuse I saw. How anyone can believe skin colour matters I don’t know; I know it is easy to get scared of people with different cultures and languages, as no-one really likes not understanding what is being said around them, especially in their own country, but it happens. Life throws up many a challenge and we should all attempt to conquer the language barrier. What I really wanted to say though, was later as these girls go sun-seeking for a tan, and that’s all brown and black people are, just people who are tanned by the sun [for god's sake], and as they later seek sex, they might appreciate these young men. So they may mock now, when young, but I hope they come to a greater understanding later; but the sad truth is that some will still retain these attitudes for a long-time.

Friday Night Blog 25

So what have I been doing this past week? Well I have been building-up my blogs. Why? because, I have become disatisfied with the amount of blog names that were taken for my favourite punk bands, especially as a lot of them were spoilt. I have now created a whole batch of blogs under one label; these are called http://punkband[then the 'bands' name] at .blogspot.com. This way I get to blog on every band that I want to, and bypass the crap out-there. There will be around thirty blogs, covering mostly british punk bands. There will also be a main overall blog that has links to all of them. So what I am going to do with them? basic stuff really, as there is already lots of information out-there. I will also include written material on many lesser known punk bands [if I can], or bands that are not going now, it is pretty ‘loose’ at present; but I will trawl other sites and present it differently; I will of course ask for any necessary permissions. I have chosen to do this in Blogger over WordPress, as I think I’ll get more chances to modify the blogs in Blogger, and for free too. Also this week, a work colleague said I should make a ipod playlist for when I clean the shop in the morning. I would like to, but as I love punk rock, and many don’t, I said I thought I had nothing to share. In another conversation I told a manager just how much I earnt by cleaning the shop each day, and he was shocked, he now knows that I work for next to nothing. I know I am not alone in this work-trap. I think there will soon come a time when I cannot afford to work there anymore, it is really costing me, in more ways than one, to do that job. I also witnessed a verbal racist attack, in which some white girls made monkey noises at some black boys; I despaired because these boys were really happy before this event, I know this, because I had been walking behind them for some time, in the shopping centre. It is really sad, what people do. Finally I noticed I have been living in this house for 10 years now, I moved in on April 9th 1999.

Friday Night Blog 24

This week I am turning the focus away from me. My father has just retired and it has got me thinking, he worked all his life and wouldn’t have had it any other way, and now he is taking a well-earned rest. I hope he enjoys whatever it is he is going to do? My mother retired recently and it seems to me that she is enjoying it. If happiness comes after years of hard work, I had better keep-on keeping-on. I can’t imagine retirement yet, but it is only twenty years away. Retirement affects us all differently they say; I think Steven will find new interests. I wish my parents many happy years together.

Friday Night Blog 23

Bollocks… is a word I rarely use, except when something is just that. This week I’ve been spared the bollocks, so never mind them. I only said this because I know it’ll come up in the text on my Google blog entry, and people enjoy seeing ‘bollocks’ if only in the written form. Go on then, enjoy my ‘bollocks’. Now for my week… i’ve been on holiday and enjoying some relaxing days. The weather is ‘bad’ and someone said we are in for our usual two weeks of good summer weather. Now, I know life’s pretty normal.

Friday Night Blog 22

Here is what caught my eye and ear this week. There are two men and one got jailed for three years last week and the other faces a possible 150 years [yeah right]. I believe that the one who faces the ‘possible’ longer sentence for a far bigger crime to his victims, will eventually get off with lesser sentence than the man whose got three years. Why? because I believe this world is so obsessed with wealth addiction; that it isn’t going to badly attack one of its own, even if he has badly let their system down. I believe it would fly against that which they hold so dear. I laughed when the ‘news report’ said he could be jailed for a long time. I’m pretty sure that will never happen; with money as their ‘God’ and knowing that anyone involved in the business world, even the ones ‘caught-out’ will not be mistreated or punished badly, leads them to tread carefully, as not to give out the wrong signals, especially to those trying to rebuild their wealth. I believe [you are recreating a thing which will rise and fall and screw you up again and again]. I say, try to think of life as a ‘balance’ and look at the millions of people with more than they need and the millions without the basics, and it should be clear that the greedy and needy are just two sides of the same coin; we all need to “give up the greed, and conquer the need”, in ourselves and for others.

Friday Night Blog 21

Is it really Friday again already, and have I really done 21 of these now? must have. Overheard on the radio this week; there is a butterfly with an eye on the end of its penis, to help in its mating; the presenter said it would be handy if we had that, I fell about laughing, then thought thats true. I also heard someone saying I don’t give a ‘Peking Duck’ that made me chortle too. It seems to me that we live in a ‘time’ when almost any words can be broadcast, and I think it makes for great radio; if you listen to it, in the way it was intended, as a joke and forget about being offended. I continue to expand my knowledge of CSS [Cascading Style Sheets], I am slowly picking it up; but can I learn enough ‘at this present time’ to build ‘Health Media’s’ new website with the acquired knowledge? or will I revert back to the simpler layout techniques used before?, who knows. Also this week I had a nice surprise when I used ‘Google’s’ translating option for this blog, which went from English into German. I thought it worked very well, but I don’t know enough German to really know how well it worked. I will use it again, so well done ‘Google’ for this option. Talking of blogs, i’ve noticed something odd in that the Google owned ‘Blogger’ blogs often come up lower in the search engine rankings than WordPress blogs; does that just mean that WordPress is a more popular platform?, I think so. But its slightly strange in that this ‘named’ blog imported into WordPress from here but with only the one ‘post’ comes up higher than this ‘Blogger’ blog with twenty five posts; does this mean that the WordPress blogging system is put together better? or is it just the popularity that does it. I think it is to do with it being ‘a quality product’ on a mass scale, for it to carry and come up higher in the rankings. Now, I think that if I was asked by anyone who to use for ‘blogging’ and they were after ‘higher search rankings’ then I would have to suggest they use WordPress.
