Your self

I’ve been riding my pushbike to work lately. Early this week I got knocked down on my way home. No biggie. I was creeping along the inside of a van queing behind a car turning right, when he suddenly decided to cut around the inside, not noticing me of course.

I couldn’t believe quite how far into me he came - about 3 feet. Of course I did the spectacular and obligatory forward roll over me bike, tearing a hole in my trouser knee.

He stopped.

I stuck the boot into his back doors - making absolutely no impression! heh. Then the young bloke that was his passenger got out I started with the effing. He referred me to the driver, who I just told to F off in the end.

I should’ve been getting insurance details of course, the sensible stuff. But I just didn’t feel like doing that. I just wanted to get it off my chest.

It was good.

I felt fine.

I thought aftarwards. I was behaving like only the upper class could - being myself in public.

I didn’t really look around. But I do know there were a couple of young people sat on a bench nearby, and two streams of traffic standing gobsmacked.

What was funny to me afterwards was my reaction. Kicking the doors and just swearing like I did.

I tried to relate it to a secretary at work the next day - but they missed the point - they thought I was trying for sympathy over my sore wrist.

This is my battle at work. Peoples’ perceptions, the bad thing about community.

Give it up

Straight on with it then…First, a [mis]quote

Been reading Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell, kindly lent to me by a good friend

Forgiveness means letting go of a debt someone owes you

Why carry around that weight. Give it up, and give yourself a break.

A new blog… unashamedly all about me!

Since my main blog got all serious, I decided that I missed the old crowd

[my readers, all three of them :) ]

- and our mutual adoration. …Or to put it another way…

I missed the therapy of personal blogging. There’s stuff I ache to say but feel it inappropriate for the ‘tech blog’ theme that has evolved.

Eventually I aim to make a little supersite of this microcosm of inactivity [just a front end, nothing flash]. A small part of the reason for this is to expriment with multiblogging. It sort of follows the theme of this web presence - I play a lot!

So here we are, at post #1 ~ Welcome!
