The rainy season has started and my god is here...

It was a quiet day when he showed up... We had all thought that he had left us, and that was a good thing. I had been down in the depths of our cavern when the wall opened up and God entered. It was a miracle that none of us wanted, the water falling from the sky was too hot for any of us to bear. I started making my way back to my home in the sky but the heat of the water made the walls too slippery for me to grasp. I struggled several times to make my way along, occasionally slipping backward as I lost my footing.
The heat was overbearing and oppressive. Every breath I took felt like my lungs were burning and each breath was more difficult than the last. And then it happened. My feet got caught up in my lifeline and I was pinned to the surface. My body was too light and I was too weak to pull myself from the grip of the water. Then a shadow fell over me.... a large warm object came so close to me that I was sure, if I had the strength to free a limb, that I could touch it. Long and tubular, it pressed againsty the surface and started to nudge me along... I was so grateful for this unknown assistance that I felt obligated to put my whole heart into freeing myslf. I worked on one leg at a time and managed to get upright.
I was soaked thoroughly, water clinging to my body all over making it difficult to walk. Each step was a fight against fatigue, struggling through a constant torrent of rushing water that pushed me further from my home. Again, I fell and became immersed in the water. Unable to move I lay there helpless, wishing for one more chance to rise up. I felt a gust of wind on my body and legs, pushing me along my journey. Then the wind turned into a gale. I felt the full force of my God on me. It lifted me up out of the water and I got my feet under me. I struggled on.
It seemed like an eternity wading through that water. A wave of water swarmed over me and I was lost. Stuck to the surface once more, unable to move my legs, I could do nothing. Then God pushed me again. I felt so alive knowing that this huge deity was intent solely upon helping me live.
With renewed vigour I pulled my up, putting a shaky leg out and then another. I walked on and it seemed that it would take forever to reach my home.
And just when I thought I had all the protection I could ever need, my God deserted me. I became trapped in the water once more, and then the rushing sound of the water slowed and then ceased entirely. The steam that had clogged my vision began to dissipate and I could see that I had reached a corner, now all I had to do was pull myself up and I would be free to walk home.
But it was not to be. I could see from the corner of my eye that He was leaving. I could see through the wall the indistict figure rubbing something on Himself and dressing himself. With my last breath, I thanked him for all his help in my time of need and I begged forgiveness for not being able to carry on without him. The water seemed so warm and comforting that I closed my eyes and smiled. I had met my God and he had helped me with my problems even though I had done nothing for Him that deserved his attentions.
I hope in my next life that I don't come back as a spider in a shower.

What to do when no-one is looking....

Hurrah for one and all....

Never fear the reaper for he knows not what he's doing.

Its a lovely day outside and here I am sitting inside working. Not my idea of a fun day, but what can one man do? Lots! People have been leaving my workplace in droves in the last few weeks, and it has put a slight damper on my spirit. I mean, here I am working in the same job for the past two years and I have seen people starting work and leaving within the first month. I have seen people hired, fired and escorted out for unsociable/unprofessional behaviour/conduct. And I am still here.

What does this say about my mindset? Hmmmmmm....
It could say that I have more determination for the job, being able to handle the high pressure involved in the job, a desperate need to keep the job or else face financial ruin. Or I could be mad, clinically insane, tuned out, discordian or worse?

I could be my own God, but that fails to explain why I would do this to myself.

Only one more week to Star Wars 3 - WooT! I'm not terribly excited by it all. I only want to see one part in it. I'd almost prefer to pirate the bloody thing for that one part and save myself the ticket price.

Word out for the scottish laddie - I haven't sent those items to you yet. I am thinking of changing the mobo's back around, but I'm not too sure. I'll definitely send on the RAM on Thursday. Thursday holds a special place in my heart.

Word out to the French Connection - Thanks for those games, keeping my sanity in check and realising some of the better aspects of general stuff!!!

Looking out for the Puck-1 - Thanks man, I'd love to say you're there for me, but half the time I'm not sure where 'there' is for you. :) All is good, all is well.

ACE - Go and see the Hitch hikers guide. Do not ask the why and what-nows for the answeris never 42. Think only that the knowing of the answer will make the question worth the wait.

When all is said and done......

Well, boys and girls.... the time has come to write another blog of psuedo-biblical proportions.

But I won't do it, even though they goad and jeer and throw unused packaging at me.

To recap on recent events.....
Work is busier than usual, didn't get promoted. Considering alternative employment.
My PC lives again, after buying a new CPU, PSU and motherboard. I found out it was a problem with the power switch on the case. BUMMER! At least my PC got better after all that.
Scotland is a great country, go there at least once in your life! Ask for my brother. :)
I am going to Witness(an irish woodstock) in the summer.

Movie reviews :
The HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy :-
Finally a true adaptation of the book. Although some questions are raised throughout the movie, I couldn't be bothered to bitch about them as I am a fan of the books and was delighted to see the end product. The song at the start is fantastic. I'm sure Douglas Adams would be proud of it. And feck off, 'cos I am not going to spoil anything about it. Besides, if you'd read the books then you already know what to expect from the movie.

Star Wars - Revelations :-
This is a low budget film made by a bunch of students/part-time actors/MacWorkers/whatevers to fill in a gap between Episodes 3 and 4 of the originals. The effects are amazing in it. I mean WOW! Check the link in the title to see for yourselves(and you can get the entire movie there as well).

Star Wars 3 - Revenge of the Lemming :-
I have booked the day off for the movie, and the day after to recover from the shock of admitting I was bothered enough to go and see it. Oh, and my flatmates birthday is the same day, so I'm sure i'll be well p!ssed.

War Of The Worlds :-
I have deep reservations regarding this film. Why was Spielberg allowed to direct it, does anyone remember A.I.????? Why does Tom Cruise star in it, its not mission improbable????? Why is it set in modern times instead of earlier times? And why on earth did they change the plot so much!!!! I will watch it simply because I fell in love with the original, but I won't like it.

Willy Wonka :-
Johnny Depp, you is the man for this part. You look like you are ready to molest the kids. Gene Wilder should be proud of this. I am not too sure about the fact that the Oompa Loompa's are all CGI'ed. Why couldn't they just hire a bunch of midgets, paint them orange and glue green hair on them just like the old days. Ah well, I guess I'll have to settle for learning a whole new range of songs to scare ickle kiddies.

A big HUGGLE goes out to Kaz and D. There ain't no numpties until you's declares 'em.

A big WUGGLE goes out to the Mouse, where-ever your wanderings have taken you.

A big UGGLE out to The Jaffa Cake and The Gimp and the M.P.U and F.P.U. You are all here in my heart(I know it sounds corny).

Next update.... whenever.
