Positive and negative

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

Had a Bad ad hair day yesterday.I got a real stinker when I opened a letter .It was a speeding fine from last Monday .It took place on my way home from the business class.I should have been more careful.It was dark and no other cars were on the road.It is a real trap.€80 and two penalty points.Qhat a waste of money.I was only 12 km over according to the lettere.I replied today.Better get it over with as soon as posssible.A real disappointment and i hope there is no more of them.

Then there was the water bill.I will have to get it sorted soon.

One positive was that i got the cow and weanling in with little bother.

I went to Monivea first thing this morning �for weanling ration.IU wonder do I need a mag bucket?I'll ask Brody tomorrow when i go for the cards after seeing the dentist.Money going out all over the pkace.I might have to cancel my holiday just as Aer lingus are advertising low air fare to Europe.

I met Martin Conroy just there at the water connection.Wew chatted a while and he said he would take a look for it.He is a sound guy as all the conroys.I just want to get it out of the way.Please God.

After feeding the weanling I came up.She was gone to Athenry to get the car ready for the NCT.She wasn't home till well after lunch time.
I got a few tasks that were on the long finger done.Planted the Tulip bulbs in the graveyard ,turned the compost heap and got the gas meter off in the post at Garbally castle.I did a meditation this morning and again this evening.I feel a little better..

I hope �go the Art course at about 7.20pm

I just get this listless feeling when I come into this house.I know that I am missing out on something.I keep getting this nagging thought that I have wasted a lot of my time.The only thing I can do is pray

Bobby is a very good friend to Mike and I as far as being there whenever we need help either financially or with a ride or pretty much whatever. I appreciate all the support and help he has given us but the thing I hate is the fact that Mike tells me that its Bobby he doesnt trust not me and its because of the history they have had with each others girlfriends or whatever. Here's the thing. You ask anyone of my guy friends whether I am the kind of person who cheats they will tell you that they have all tried and my famous words are, "no" "dont" shut up" "stop" and "get away" not only that but I cringe at the thought of a guy trying to make a move because I just don't feel comfortable with anyone but mike. I have zero desire to fuck around with anyone other than mike whether im mad at him or not whether I think hes done it to me. It isnt because i dont want to get caught but its because i want to be about what i talk about what i preach to other people. What i say is what i mean. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. I am truley honest and sincere when i tell mike he could tell me anything and even if it was the most fucked up and disloyal thing he could do to me, I could honestly get over it and forgive him 100% and still trust him at that. I am a realist and i know that we cant change the past. if something has already happened there is nothing absolutely nothing i can do about it and so if mike did do something like cheat on me well then what can i do about it. that's right, nothing. but what i can do is get over it and to be able to do that well i need to first be aware of it. So with that have been said, what do i do about the fact that bobby is always making comments and trying to get me to cheat on mike and not only do i feel really uncomfortable but it is also so dissapointing and depressing in a way because i am stuck in a situation where if i tell mike then i know he will never want me to talk to bobby or be around him ever again HOWEVER he on the other hand will continue being friends with him and it leaves me with another area in mikes life that i dont belong with or have a place. I just got a text from bobby that said "movie?" i replied and told him that i have fun kickin it but i feel uncomfortable when he says stuff about fucking even when he is kidding because i am not going to do mike like that because i really am a loyal to the bone girlfriend and being anything other than that makes me feel like shit about myself.�

The new and the Old

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Still have that tense dreadful feeling.

Was at the "Start your own business" class in Gmit.

It is ok I guess.I am hitting it in spots.I might keep at it and see how it turns out.

Earlier I left herself into Mrs O Donnell's funereal at Quinn's ,Athenry.
Carmel was to bring her out here afterwards.Just as we met up with C armel at 6 two of my first cousin that I rarely meet,Emer and Deirdre Rohan came over talking.I had to spurt off because of the class.I think Emer is a bit stuck up anyway.
I bought a new electric toothbrush in Flanagans.The lady told me that the old one should have lasted longer than it did.I wonder what went wrong?

The watwer was turned back on when I went to Ryehill.I was dissapointed that he didn,t ring .I rang them when I came up but got no satisfaction.I suppose I will have to pay twice the amount.As if things weren't bad enough

I had a quiet weekend but for Saturday night when I ventured in as far as Galway.I went to the same old hide out,The Quays and Abuser Brownes.There is a nice atmosphere on Saturdays.God knows I am long enough going to Galway.I suppose I will get an answer some day

Kinda lkoking forward to the Art class on wednesday night..

iI am seriosly contemplating Going off to Amsterdam in march to eascape this terrible boredom.I would cost the best part of a thousand euro.But then look what happened to those rugby fans in Paris last Saturday.
At least I would get some value for money.
I wish that I had somebody to talk to besides being cooped up her all the time

BARBIE DOLL

The popular doll, Barbie, artifact of female representation and identity, of depiction and posturing of women, has evoked a steady stream of critical attention since her debut in 1959.�� I have not been that conscious of this critical attention involved as I have been since 1959 with issues relating to my education, my career, my family and my religion. If millions of pre-pubescent girls have lived imaginatively and vicariously through Barbie this has not really concerned me.� The world is burgeoning with issues and this was one far removed from my flight path.� In 1959 I joined the Baha’i Faith and the agenda that has concerned me has only on rare occasions and only very peripherally involved the barbie doll. –Ron Price with thanks to “The Wonder of Barbie: Popular Culture and the Making of Female Identity,” Essays in Philosophy: A Biannual Journal, Vol.4, No.1, January 2003.
�
The essence of feminine beauty
is vigilance and artificiality.
Men may be expected to enhance
their appearance, but women are
supposed to transform themselves.
�
Who is the fairest of them all.
The mirror replies, “Before I
answer that, may I suggest an
alpha-hydroxy lotion?…this
Revlon spray?…this lipstick?
�
Where have you been Barbie?
You popped into my life when
I visited those kids in Whyalla
and when I went shopping more
than usual between marriages.
�
Images of maleness were many
and varied: my dad, grandfather,
uncle, those westerns on TV back
in the fifties and all those old chaps
in Baha’i history--unquestionably--
�
subtlely, insinuating themselves into
my imaginative faculty on cold
Canadian evenings; Jim Gibb
reading poems, John Dixon’s
quiet kindness,� Douglas Martin’s
clever use of words, so many
ordinarily ordinary men, artifacts
of identity, of depiction and posturing:
nothing like Dick, his relentless jollity,
his banklike security and his always
impeccable decorator and merry picnic.

Eye for an eye

I've had the chance to do wrong or get even and chose not to. My stepfather had to be one of the meanest men I knew and became I'll, so I took care of him when he couldn't do for himself. Do I regret it no, but unfortunately he died the way he lived in a nursing home alone and penniless.

CSI: SCIENCE AND SALVATION

Each episode of the most popular television series in the world - according to articles in The New Yorker and BBC online¹- begins where many stories end, at the death of the central character. Before the opening credits roll, the primary piece of evidence, this character’s body, appears lifeless and silent. Soon enough, however, the crime scene investigator, the CSI, begins his chief task; he must get this body to speak. He will, within an hour’s time, divine a true tale. And, in the retrospective portrait that emerges, the CSI confirms his mastery of the tools of truth telling and his ability to impose these tools on the world around him, whatever the circumstances.

I watched a few of the CSI: Miami episodes after they began to be released on my birthday, 23/7/’03, at the age of 59, here in northern Tasmania where the Tamar River meets the sea. �I had taken an early retirement after a 40 year working life, was the secretary of the small Baha’i Group of George Town Tasmania, and had begun to write full-time.-Ron Price with thanks to ¹Wikipedia: 2009-2011; ²"Dead Men Do Tell Tales:” CSI: Miami and the Case Against Narrative, Americana: The Journal of American Popular Culture, Spring 2009, Volume 8, Issue 1.

Since I took a sea-change in 1999

I’ve been watching more who-dun-

its than ever before, some with my

wife and some by myself. Today I

came across a study of CSI: Miami at

an online journal that I have taken an

interest in, one of those free journals

that are available on the world-wide

web which enrich my years in these

evening--times of my late adulthood

which some of the psychologists of

human development call these years

of 60 to 80 in the average lifespan.

Little gregarious chatter as each

episode unfolds weekly with its

faith in science and technology.

I watched a few programs when

CSI: Miamifirst came out & now

only when I am too tired to write.

The series has been voted the most

popular in the world perhaps, partly,

because of its propensity for a high

tech and its wordlessness: no juries,

no lawyers, just pretty people as well

as some, a lot, of instrumentation and

scientific methodology to provide the

view that science will save us if we can

just develop it to suit our social needs!!

Bored again

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Uh still felling terrible.
I got to the Art class last night after a last gasp decision.I had to buy a canvass �,paints and linseed oil in Cregal art before the class for €25.There was another guy in the shop just before 5.45 whose wife he said was doing the same course.�

I had to kill a bit of time so I did a little browsing around the shopping centere.I was so tense and excited before the class that I even went an hour early.
I then wandered back a bit listening to the Swindoll tapes.I just felt so good listening to them as if the were feeding my soul

The first person I met was the tutor.She is nice and helpful.

The class went well .I even got started on a landscape.There were about 6 or 7 in the class.They seem ok .

I was home before 11 O clock but had another tense night. getting up then going back to bed.

Today is Thursday .I am bored stiff as usual.I regret ever leaving my job in Crown.I wonder how things would have turned out if I had the patience to stay?
