5 Thing I been a doin with my life dearest reader:
1. Over the last few weeks I rented, series by series, and copied and then viewed The Wire. I watch more tv than I'd like, I consider 98% of tv absolute shite (exclude Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Family Guy, early Simpsons, Top Gear and anything with tits) I can do without, I loved The Sopranos and think the odds of seeing that quality of tv again are slim. Having said that, I did quite enjoy The Wire (not as good as The Sopranos but I don't think its fair to continuously compare). Season 1 or 5 being my favourite and season 2 being my least favourite, not for the subject matter, more for how many episodes it took to get flowing.
2. What I'm reading - The Gods of Eden by William Bramley, along the lines of Sitchin, again hideous cover that forces these subjects into the mongo sci fi section. But its not sci fi, claims to be real, and I'd say there is a lot more truth in this book than is socially acceptable about how we evolved. But I'm enjoying it and that's what counts.
3. Me an missus nearly moved in together. One Sunday a couple of weeks ago we checked the internet for some local cottages, prices have dropped substantially thanks to the world crashing. We viewed a few places, found a great place, back garden front garden, bath, real fire place, attic converstion, two double bedrooms, loads of space to do our own thing. But we could'nt get it for the price we wanted an Missus backed out anyway cos she's snowed under with her Masters coming to a close in a couple of months, and she's being let go from her job in August so she didn't need the extra stress of living with me and my lust for her ass.
4. Yoga. I have practised different types of yoga over the years and in different countries, but that last time was in San Francisco about seven years ago. So I'm about as flexible as Bill O' Reilly on abortion (you like that joke? I wrote it myself, took two months to finally finish it an now I see it serious shit). I practised Bikram yoga. By the way I never did yoga cos I thought it was a good idea or calming, I did it because I have had back ache for years. And a few weeks ago with my back practically ceasing up, and right hip, I knew it was time to try to loosen my decaying corpse up. So I've been going to a studio less than two minutes from my house called The Elbow Room, about twice a week for hot yoga - a heated room but not as hot as Bikram yoga.
5. I returned to AA meetings about two weeks ago. I'm dry nine and a half years, I suppose you could say sober although not sane. By the way, as above, I didn't get sober cos I thought it a good idea, I got sober cos I was on the brink of suicide for months and my choice was AA or death, guess which one I chose an win a prize. I was always interested in meditation and in early recovery I began meditating twice daily, practising TM, and a couple of years ago I discovered an exercise that actually raised my kundalini energy, each time I practised it, and have had the most bizarre and almost out of body experiences since. This exercise really began to smash my belief in our three dimensional world and helped me to realise that I ain't designed for society, its a fraud, and we are fed lies repeatedly to stop us waking up. Anyway last year I didn't get a single meeting (I felt that my meditations were giving me what I needed) and now this year with very little work, too much time on my hands, I've decided to try to get back to the rooms, see some familiar faces, and keep my shit together. The odds of me drinking are very slim, I have no desire for booze an drugs, but the odds of my life becoming unmanageable and me becoming a bastard to live with has been increasing.

The awakening to the truth of society has been a theme in my life during my time in Taiwan. I feel like the character from Fahrenheit 451.
Speaking of TV, though... did you ever find yourself into Dexter? Watch it, and I guarantee you'll never love another serial killer the same.
Plus, it's on Showtime, which means there's titties.
You're a star Chase, I'll look out for Dexter!
I was just about to talk about Dexter, when I realized that someone else had mentioned it.
It's golden... simply golden.
It's funny that you talk about the dropping prices of apartments because it hasn't moved one bit in Ottawa (CAN).
Not at all!
Bread, on the other hand, is like luxury nowadays...
O'Reilly on abortion...Har, har, har...love that remark.
Dude, stay in control of it...you are too damned smart to slide away. We need smart ones.
