I love this picture





I was in a traffic jam.

Who or what would inspire you to write a message on a motorway/freeway bridge?

Things I miss from my 20's

When I look back on my twenties there are a couple of things that I no longer have or would like to find again.

I'm acutely aware that I used to possess that belief that I could do anything that I wanted to and would motivate myself to do what I could to achieve that. Or was it that I was more determined and slightly more ambitious.

From a personal point of view and the reason for this post was that I miss those long conversations that I would find with girls that would go on all night and into the early hours. Those long conversations that ramble where you're in simpatico totally and utterly. Of course most of you will cite 'Before Sunrise' or 'Lost in Translation' as movies that come close to showing that sort of situation.

Or maybe I'm just lonely and the past is the past and I have to learn how to live for today and not look to the past.

I'm looking for mental intimacy with another...

And now what?

Well, the return to work was short lived as they make cuts myself and my senior saw the set we were assigned to being cut right out and with it the two of us. This happened yesterday and while far worse things have happened to me in the last three years it is a sorry state of affairs.

Whilst admittedly I may not have been having the time of my life in terms of the job I was glad to have a routine and interacting with my colleagues. i'd moved out and found it liberating being in a shared house but now I'm not so sure where to go. I moved here because of the job and truth be told its not somewhere you'd choose to be. It's a nice enough village but there isn't a lot to do.

I may have a lead for another job starting up soon but in the meantime I know that I have 4 days of work left.

I hope all of you out there are well and have keep yourselves out of trouble and have been inspired.

Whilst I realize that life is not predictable and can throw up all sorts of surprises at you, it would be nice if there could be just a small modicum of security in feeling or fooling oneself into feeling a bit more secure about the way things might work out.
