Hmm – thanks for feeding my thoughts, Staci – you’re a gem. π

I think that ‘balance’ is the difficult things for all humans. It seems like such a simple concept, yet we are extremists and have a difficult time finding that balance. Hahaha. I’m still trying to find my balance with coffee and goodies. Haha.

π
At the moment I am standing by the river Foss (my latest post- The Drowned Sky shows a photo of it if you’re interested) in a light drizzle catching up with my blog (and you). The building I work in is on fire – unless it’s another false alarm, of course, and I’ve been here long enough to start getting damp and cold. If you do visit these fair isles then this is an experience you would get used to quite rapidly. π
I laughed when I saw your comment about goodies because I’m addicted to chocolate and as a consequence I’m about 6lbs above my fighting weight (eleven and a half stone). The balance between enjoying and working towards a goal is a … an interesting challenge.
Starting to shiver now – got to start moving. Later, Staci.
Really? Another chocolate addict? Me too!!! I could totally do away with other sweets, but chocolate… NEVER. Hahaha. Glad to see we have that in common. I’m going to have to google how many kilos are in 11 1/2 stone. Hahaha.
That’s crazy that your building was on fire. Was it for real, or just another alarm?
See ya.
π
The building was a false alarm. OMG, I’ve just realised that you could have been thinking all that time that I was fried to a frazzle and burnt to a crisp! So sorry about that, Staci!
I’m here and well and it was just another false alarm.
It’s bank holiday Monday here in the UK and I have sneaked into work to do 2 things: spend some time on my blog (and all of it has been talking to you in fact) and to score some of the chocolate that I have in my desk drawer her. Well, actually – it’s no longer in my drawer it’s in my tummy, with a good portion of it lighting up sparkly pathways in my brain. What you’re getting now is Robert on Chocolate! π
I weigh around 75 kilos – you? π
And yes – the only possible good use of sugar is to make chocolate – all else is a waste of sugar. π
Flying high – Robert.
What’s a bank holiday? I hope you had some chocolate for me. Haha. Love the stuff.
75 kilos isn’t that much. How tall are you? Did you just seriously ask me how much I weigh? Hahaha. You’re not suppose to ask women how much they weigh. Hahahahaha. I don’t have a problem though. I think I’m at about 59 right now, and I’m 1,65 in height. Pretty normal I guess. Although I’d love to be back down to 54 again. But then again, maybe it would make me look older. Hahaha.
Have you come down yet?
π
I have come down. π
I’m going to have to convert your height to feet and inches now … hang on … yeah – you’re right – you’re normal (and yeah, if you insist – you’re pretty too π ). Let me just check my height … just less than 6ft so that’s a bit over 1,81 in your language. π
Also – a bank holiday is a national holiday in the UK – usually a Monday. We have about 8 of them in the UK where most people get a day’s paid leave (or compensation if they have to work).
Sorry about asking you how much you weigh. You just seemed to be … I don’t know … you give the kind of vibe that indicates that you would be okay with that. π
Ohhhh, hahaha. I’m more used to feet and inches too. I just thought that maybe you Brits used the metric system. I’m 5 feet, 5 inches. Hahaha @if you insist β youβre pretty too. Awww, thanks Rob. Not always though. You know, nobody posts the unattractive photos right. π Haha.
Oh, don’t be sorry about asking about he weight. I was just joking with ya. Haha. I’m totally fine with it.
π
I guess some of us use the metric system, but them as what count (aka me) use feet and inches. π
Me? Pretty? Well okay then! π
Yeah – very true. Maybe we should though. Maybe we should start and ‘warts and all’ trend where we find the most unattractive photographs that we didn’t delete and post them. Interesting idea. I can feel a blog post coming on. π
Sometimes I think that I should start an anonymous blog to that I can get some stuff off my chest. It’s so hard to do that here because … I don’t know – I’m kinda shy about some stuff.
Hum…. Really? I think there are other that do that too. You could consider it. Like have the blog you have now, and then another one for more deeper anonymous stuff.
π
Aren’t we all? At least I hope we all are. It would be great if you could find a friend you could be open with. I’m sure that would take a load off of you.
π
It would. But then I’m in the jaws of something or other that I half remember in that if I get to know someone well enough to tell them stuff I am ashamed of, then I would not be able to tell them that stuff in case it turns them off me so bad that they would not want to talk to me again. And then I would be even unhappier.
You know – I make it sound like something truly horrendous, but it’s not really – it just seems that way to me. And it’s nothing to do with anything I’ve done. Just thoughts. 1984 – thought crime. π Actually – not even that – not even a crime in any shape of form. Odd that I’m so hung up on it really.
You know Rob, I’m positive that everybody is like that. Sometimes we think we’re only a few that are like that, but believe me, we all are. I believe that we are a fallen people, so we will always struggle with thoughts.
Anyhow, that’s my 2 cents worth.
π
Fallen. Yeah – I read up on that when I was researching my latest post on ‘Adam and Eve’.
Where you stand on the matter of whether they were the first and only creations by God – some say that on day 6 God created mankind (Genesis 1) and then on day 7 He created Adam and Eve (or was it day 8?) (Genesis 2). Anyways – that there were separate and that when Cain got married, it was to one of the other members of mankind. There’s some interesting material out there.
I find it a little amusing how I liked a post that basically said ‘Sorry’ in multiple different ways so much more than a lot of other posts I’ve read by other writers.
How d’you do that?! You’re gifted.
I’m like you in the sense that I’m an over thinker. And you know from your own experience what kind of fun that leads to.
One approach to something has never been enough for me. I used to start Forums and then chat to the people that joined. Then I used to make up new personalities and join the group as those too and I used to chat to myself and them all at the same time. I then I got bored with that and ritually and publically disintegrated the personalities with a set phrase to the group. It was strange because just after I did that, one of the other group members (not me) disintegrated himself with the same phrase. I have my theories why, but not for sharing here. π
So – yeah – that’s me.
It was quite interesting to talk to myself, but trouble was that I knew what I was going to say half the time.
If you were to give your dark portion a bit of advice, what would it be? Assuming that you’re the light portion of the cake at the moment. π
I’m relatively integrated really. I have parts of me that I definitely hide away, but most of me is out there. As far as dark and light go, I have mood swings like anyone but I mostly attribute them to my sugar intake. I do have to step away from angry people (or people who are being angry) otherwise I can get sucked into that way of being.
How do you manage to compartmentalise like that?
I don’t know. I’m not an introvert at all and a lot of people know me well. Not WELL well, but I’m not a mystery.
There’s some Maitreyis I’m only comfortable being around 3-4 people in the world, though, and some I’ve hidden away and they’re for no one but me. And my cat, maybe.
Aww – a putty-tat! I think me and your cat would get on really well. π
You sound like you’ve got a handle on yourself and I prophesy that the small bits you haven’t got to grips with will come clear with experience and time. π
All good things under the sky.
I care enough to say ‘yes’ and … WOW, would you look at that gorgeous sky!! That’s so insanely beautiful. Right, let me read the words now – they’ll probably explain your sky. (Did I tell you that I love sky? Of course I did – it’s you that requested me to post some pictures of them.)
Oh elysian depths
Superlunary beauties
Empyrean splendours;
Thou art nothing compared to mine own splendid sky which doth cover me and protect me both in waking and sleeping hours.
Oh how I love thee, sky – for thou art a joy to behold, dressed as thou art in becoming cloak of azure, trimmed with lace of pink and gold as thy companion clouds and sun court thee.
If I could but spend one more day in thy arms, then t’would be recompense for all and any days of darkness to come. I am spent from loving thee. I am drained from my adoration of thy charms. And yet I am all awash in ecstasy from thy loving attentions. I am sated. I am full of enough of thee to last a lifetime. I love the and shall never forsake thee for another – for thou are my companion in all things. Only kiss me once and I shall faint away. Only hold me once and I will feel thy arms about me forever.
My love.
My sky.
I am for thee.
Straight off the top of my head – yup.
How? Well, I just open up that hatch on my skull, attach a nozzle and then stand well clear. π
It’s best if I try not to get in the way when I write like this.
It’s just nice to get inspiration, motivation and incentivisation – thanks for that.
