Well i'm sorry.

The classic situation now of people walking across the road wearing headphones. Hell, i even see people driving with them in. How they can drive is behond me. Ah well. Anyway a young man does this to us in a car park. Ok so mum isn't the most conservative driver but it's not like she was speeding. Maybe i made the mistake of mocking him in shock at how he casually stepped in from of us. I couldn' help it. I was like watching a Gif from the failblog.

So we parked up. He came over and politely removed one ear phone and commented that the car park wasn't a race track. My mum gave the normal response, commenting on his lack of senses due to him wearing earphones. I tried to reason but i was ignored. He took our number plate whilst mockingly saying "ok thank you", replaced his headphones and walked of as i tried to explain and apoliguise. He ignored me.

Right well anyone who ignores me and turns their back on me to carry on walking immediatly looses any of my respect. I was trying to say sorry. Hmmm. I wonder what will hppen the next time someone does this. Are they actively wearing them to spite those who bring it up as a problem or do they really not mind the risk of being hit because they can't hear whats going on?

It's a comman occurance these days. What would you do in this situation?

Heres some head's up to share:

Old but New.

Okay so the thought is old but theres always room to create something new from it. In this case, the Free Hugs campaign. Whilst these guys didn't set out to make much of it, they still helped to remind us of great old ideas and created a new reason to have more faith in humanity.

 

They caught my attention at least.

Getting off the bus for work is as dull as you can imagine. It can even be stressful. Other peoples lack of respect or sense or direction. Making sure you didn't gain a wardrobe malfunction whilst sitting down. But the other day changed for the better. The image of someone and they're Free Hugs sign has become old news but it still catches us. It reminds us that sweet and silly gestures are still thought of. Okay so they are strangers and for all you know are murderers but hey, its the thought that counts. What i mean is the sense of reasurence and mild happiness that you get from just whitnessing one kind and amusing act in a town of commonplace and mundane.

Who we named the copycat

Little events like these might not be such a new thing but new things can come from it. New hope. New respect. And new ideas on how to make people smile and remember the good times.

What a pose.

The shirt.

I'm back.....sorry.

I'm back. I've had a really bad time. And this time round i'm going to do something about it.

Some bad times. Some surprisingly good. What can i say? We all have them and maybe its time to recognise my better moments more than the bad. An example being my keyboards current lack of function skill and my even worse spelling. Killer combo. So lets share some good times....
