Time for some Brighton Rock

First gym session of the month and feeling fine.

Time for a trip down to Portslade, sit on my favorite bench and meditate.

Cooking up a new partnership but keeping it simple this time.  Clear lines of communication and a Non-disclosure before getting into the meat of the action.

 

Candy

Candy and Jazz….A few of my favorite things

I never got the routines right at Weddings, mainly because I never really practiced.

Why do we assume we will get things right without some preparation and practice. When I look back at my successes it’s only been
because I routinely practiced, rehearsed and practiced again and again the actual event whether it be an exam, driving or whatever.

My biggest failures have been because of no prep, no practice, and zero readiness. Of course, you can’t be ready all the time but here are some prep moves for Candy by Cameo.

step right, step right
step left, step left
step back, step back
lean forward then back

twist to the left - I usually mess up here

step right, step right
step left, step left
step back, step back
lean forward then back
twist to the left

...and repeat

Yes, you are now into the groove.

Practice, practice, practice then look cool at your friend’s house party or bashment.

The biggest problem is space….but if you practiced you would know that.

14 days off-line

I’m back on the PlayStation Network after 14 days of being totally offline. So I didn’t quite make my 30 days goal and actually have no reason to stay off gaming right now.  I kept up-to-date by watching fellow games on Twitch.

Relocating to a new game base is refreshing and I’m actually not on junk food path. This forces me to plan meals and walk up two flights of steps every day.

As usual, going back online means deploying mandatory game and system patches. In my case, I had to upgrade to version 4.55 with 360mb of updates alongside various game title updates.

I jumped into HELLDIVERS™ as a system check and added Abzû to my library.

Abzû was released August 2016 and should be a pretty relaxing game.


With a major certification exam planned for December, I need to re-start my reading and research activity, book my exam and order the courseware.

London is my strength it allows me clarity of thought and is great for clothes shopping and catching up with friends or family.  Wanted to visit GP to get more meds but no time right now.

120mg today.

I miss Chicken

Meal planning is on the list of  ‘things I need to do better’.  Since July 2016, my unbalanced lifestyle has disintegrated into setting for junk food convenience every 48 hours.

My upper body needs lots of work but generally, health is OK.

No aches and pains, no medication and no eyelid weakness…feeling good.  For months I haven’t been able to work Chicken into my meal plans amazingly because of both financial and logistic reasons.


New Chapter

Time for a fresh new cupboard, new kitchen ingredients and proactive meal planning.  Also, it would be good to build up a small wine collection again.

It’s important to me and my well-being.

My wannabe hobbies outside Gaming and Tech

Cooking
Wine collecting
Cologne collecting
Photography
Body toning
Meditation
Spa treatments
Live Jazz and dining out

Things I’d like to learn

How to ride a bike
How to swim properly

Lately, it’s more like I’m just existing rather than living.  Eating to stay alive as opposed to savouring the flavours and textures.

Time to smell the Roses again.  It would be good find a Church I’m comfortable with but that’s a real long shot right now.

11 days before the incident

Jumping off a cliff can very often be the trophy moment.

LIMBO ™ has a really interesting prize for walking downhill into absolute pitch blackness. The feeling of fear and uncertainty was priceless.

Find the way out of LIMBO ™

At the end, the reward was satisfying and I looked back at my hesitation on taking the risk and wonder why.

In 11 days I’m going downhill into real world Zero emotional vision, no hesitation.

I want this.
I need this.

An engineering approach to Winter

I handled this Winter season badly this year, took too much for granted and romanced past good years.

A mix of poor wardrobe storage, low-cost old clothing and a massive lack of inspiration. This triggered a pretty continuous wave of low-level depression.

No car meant I had no personal winter travel bubble with my Jazz, was seriously limited to public transportation routes and always exposed to the elements.

Uncertain living conditions meant I was never truly confident with buying anything major as I may have to up sticks and move.

Not gonna reply on sentimental data

So I am determined to make 2018 Winter Season a happier one.

More of London, more Florida.

This is all gonna take more resources mainly time and money.
