Well I did manage to get to sleep last night, and in the light of day I’m not so worried. I’ve done nothing illegal and the police are there to ‘make surrey safer’ so I’ve got nothing to worry about.
I did try and go to the station today but it seemed to be under renovation or something. Either way I couldn’t get in so I’ll just have to wait for them to return my call.
Or to be more accurate I get an voice mail from the police, seeing as they called while I was attending a photographic workshop (very good by the way).
They wanted me to get back to them and to let them know of my availability next week. To quote exactly ‘nothing serious yet’.
….
Yet.
Worrying.
I’ve called back and left a voice mail message of my own, and emailed.
I’m sure we can all guess what this is probably about, but I’m trying not to jump to any conclusions. That’s hardly going to help matters any. My intention is to go down to the police station tomorrow morning and try and find out what the hell’s going on.
How well I’ll sleep tonight seems questionable.
Events related herein are a few weeks out of date, but there have been other more pressing matters to blog about.
I left work early to drive down to Plymouth to see my parents, friends and to have a guitar lesson. Good stuff.
On the M4 I was bombing along in the fast lane in my normal fashion. My mind was drifting to what CD I wanted to put on next when
Oh-my-god-there’s-something-in-the-road!!!
I tried to swerve to avoid it, but it was a bit of a half hearted effort. Partly because I was slow to see it, but mostly because I didn’t have time to check my mirror for anyone in the middle lane.
*CRUNCH*
I looked in my rear view mirror in time to see a section of exhaust pipe lazily coming to rest safely on the central reservation.
Maybe it’s ok?

In an admin miss-hap I seem to have accidently deleted the post ‘Somthings… missing’
Trying to recover it at the mo, if I fail then I’ll re-write it and add all the comments back manaully…. stay tuned.
[UPDATE]: As if by magic it’s all restored…. aren’t I clever 🙂
Metacognition is what that’s called, I think it should be called hyper-thought; much snappier.
Anyway, thats what I’ve been doing, thinking about the nature of thought. While doing this I couldn’t help but notice that my thoughts on thought took the form of an inner monologue, as all my thoughts do. It occured to me that if I could think without the use of an inner monologue, would my thoughts be faster?
It also came up while discussing these thoughts that the inner monologue is not the native nature of thoughts in the brain. The reasoning being that if it were then dreams would contain a lot more speech.
Unless I’m strange and everyone else has dreams full of dialogue.
So my curiousity as been tweaked, and my already slightly daunting list of things to look up has been added to.
Look forward to some interesting posts.*
*This is no guarentee that any future posts will be interesting
Now I had no idea that there was such a thing as a cup stacking championship, but thanks to the fantastic video archive at boreme I can marvel at the speed and precision.
Try not to spend too long on this site, it’s easy to get caught up in the selection!!
Well it seems that my attempts to look at recent events with careful rational has failed. Those that wish to remain nameless have obviously not had their opinions swayed. Fair enough, I wasn’t really expecting them to read them anyway, that not why they were written.
So with a backlash looking like it could rise out of all proportions, I’ve taken the offending posts down.
However the nameless one’s should not celebrate an easy victory, at the moment this is a temporary measure. Once emotions have cooled (mine included) I’ll re-read the posts and consider if they deserve re-publishing or not.
Normal service will resume shortly
If I wake up in the night and have to leave my bed, going to the toilet is an obvious example, it can take me a little while to get back to sleep again. When I was a kid (by this I mean child; not goat), I’d wake up and make a mental note of where I was positioned in bed, my warm spot. Then I’d get up do the deed and get back exactly into that warm spot again. I was so good at it that I could even tell if the duvet needed adjusting.
I would then fall asleep instantly.
Oh to get back to the state of mind where the first thing that pops into my head when I wake is how I’m lying, rather than ‘what time is it, will I have to get up soon, etc. etc’
Simpler times 🙂
Well it’s taking me quite a lot longer than anticipated to write the directors commentary to “Then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like…” as you can imagine it’s quite an emotional and touchy subject and I want to get it right for once. I’ve done a lot of poor explaining over the course of the saga so I feel the need to take some time. All these crazy thoughts flying round seem to have drained me quite a bit and some suspicious glandular type swelling seems to be looming.
Hopefully once I’ve joined the blogging masses and used this as a free therapy session it’ll all die down. At least it doesn’t seem to be as bad an ‘attack’ as previous bouts.
What happened to the anitbodies that’s what I want to know !!
Yesterday I did some exercise. Capoeira and breakdancing to be more to the point. This was the first attempt at serious amounts of activity since I became ill. It felt good!! Very invigorating. I’ll probably play badminton on wednesday (played last week too) and leave it at that for this week. My doctor (and everyone really) has advised me to ease back into strenuous workouts and I’m certainly intending to take that advice.
Feeling quite tired today but thats mainly because it took me ages to get to sleep last night (what with all the unexpected movment and whatnot).
I do however feel much much better, more like my old self. Perhaps even better than my old self, which is a pleasent supprise.
When more details of the previous few weeks emerge (working on some post which’ll hopefully be out in the next few days) you’ll understand why that’s such a pleasent supprise.
Life is good!!
