barriers
saw something beautiful today. i was cycling home from the gym at around 4pm and the sun was still in the sky. have not ridden home under a sunny sky for a very long time. the days are getting longer and the weather was milder than it has been for a few weeks. for the first time in maybe 3 months i was able to ride with out wearing gloves. it might have been a little premature because my hands were bloody frozen by the time i got to the gym, but hey i survived, i am not amputating frost britten finger tips....so things are getting better.
had another asshole get on my nerves on my bike ride home. i can spot them a mile off now. there are just people in certain cars that are cunts and most of them are in bmw Z4's and X6's and the occasional audi as well. i was cycling on the left side of the road, where i am supposed to be and there were lights about 20 metres ahead of me. i head a car accelerating hard behind me and as it came past i could see it was a bmw x6. he came past me on my right hand side and then when he was a meter ahead of me cut across in from of me and moved so far across that he was with in an inch or two of scuffing his wheels against the curb, and then breaked hard at the lights. what the fucking point of blasting infront of me, cutting across me and then stopping but making sure you dont leave any space for me to filter past. i ended up jumping up on the curb and as i am came past his window i may have said words to the effect of "what you doing you fucking cunt?!". i then turned left and looked at him over my shoulder and called him a fucking wanker to which he beeped his horn.
i really am not an agressive person but i dont understand what goes through some peoples minds. what are you trying to prove?. why is it so important for you to get to a set of lights ahead of me?. is that a major achievement for you in a shallow empty life?. does it make you feel like a big man?. whats the point of swerving across me and then braking hard?. its only the fact that my prejudices against bmw x6 drivers that saved me. i know they are driven almost exclusively by cunts and thats why i expected him to do something silly. i could have quite easily run into the back of him seeing as i dont have 4 fat tyres and ABS, but 2 skinny tyres on my bike which obviously have less grip and stopping power. i need to be extra careful for about 4 minutes out of 20 when cycling but its amazing how often i come across assholes in that short space of time on major roads with traffic.
anyways, i still have my limbs and i am able to ride another day and i saw the sun. all is good.
today i have mostly been listening to suede barriers. wicked tune.

nine inch fever
we got our snow about a week ago and because its so cold it stayed on the ground for most of the week, which meant it went from pristine fluffy white snow to grey and dirty icy sludge clogging up the streets and pavements. anyways, the forecast is for a bit more maybe tomorrow but then the weekend should be a bit warmer. its been a long winter but the days are slowly getting longer and hopefully we are making our way into the light now.
no news with regards to new contracts. had a few calls but not been called in for anything. no bother as its been good to spend time with my mum and thats worth more than a few grubby notes. besides, i have been trading stocks a bit over the last few weeks and am up quite nicely which is a bonus.
have also been training really hard at the gym and its felt great. am really pushing myself hard each time and am finding a new level. noticed a couple of things whilst at the gym. first off, what is up with the people that turn up 20 minutes before the gym closes. i will be in the changing room getting changed ready to go home and there will be people getting changed into their gym kit. i figure its just people kidding themselves so they can say they went to the gym that day, but if you are going to do 20 minutes, you need not bother.
they also have big screen tv's with various channels playing and music videos. the sound is turned down except for one of the tv's which plays the music so you end up watching a couple of minutes of the news or some soap or reality tv talent contest with no sound on them or you will end up watching the news about flooding or politics and it will be set to some euro pop dance music. it can look rather sinister and strange.
here is something similar. today i have mostly been listening to nine inch nails - discipline, but someone has very cleverly put it to the disco scene from saturday night fever. its fantastic.

freezing
shit the bed!!, its cold. after having a relatively mild although very wet december, we now have had a very cold and dry few days that will turn into a cold and snowy few days ahead. cycling to the gym is going to be interesting on saturday in 1C and possible snow showers. if its too bad i wont risk it. last weekend i had the worst cycle i have ever had. it was bitterly cold and every single light was red and then in a couple of places where i would go fast there was police on patrol. it took me 20 minutes to get to the gym and it was a constant head wind all the way.
no other news going on. i did watch the film, killing them softly and i thought it was very good. brad pitt can be a bit hit and miss but he was very good in this. its by the same director that did the assasination of jessie james and that is really good as well if you get a chance watch it.

prince
got my late fathers taxes sorted out with his accountant and filed yesterday, so hopefully i will not get any more threatening letters from the tax office. i also got another letter from my dads bank saying the mortgage he had on his second house was missed again last month, despite me putting money into his account and getting them to re-enable the debit, when the same thing happened last month.
it turns out that despite the bank saying they had re-enabled it, it turns out they did not and i was told they can not do so. it means i had to pay it again out of my account despite me depositing money into my dads old account so it could be taken from there. essentially i paid the mortgage twice. what joy.
its a good thing i saved my money and can afford to it. i shudder what most of the people i know would do in the same situation. i had a friend at the hedge fund who earned nearly a hundred grand a year and lived pay cheque to pay cheque every month. i have not worked for 3 months and have paid out over 20 grand in extra unplanned costs. thank fuck i saved my money and did not buy flashy watches and cars. the bank won't take a bmw or an IWC as a mortgage payment. still, no bother. i will get all the money back and i would rather pay for everything than have my mum deal with the stress.
had a few more calls about jobs this week. will see if any come through. 2 really great jobs in there but i don't think they will get back to me. no bother.
am training like a beast. am as strong as i have ever been. weather has gotten really cold so it will be a slightly painful bike ride to the gym tomorrow but am looking forward to training more than i have in quite a while. its very motivating when you can see clear changes.
today i have mostly been listening to prince - get off. phenomenal.

Truganini
fuck!, its just relentless. more shit with accountants this time nothing to do with estate and inheritence tax for my dad but this time his tax return. its true what they say about the certainties of death and taxes. i had to get more information together and have to meet an accountant tomorrow to get it all done.
despite recieving a letter from Her majesty's revenue and customs that was addressed to my dad with the word deceased in brackets, that said he still needed to file his taxes, it also went onto to lay out what the penalties would be for not doing so. how lovely of them. we know he is dead but you still have to pay us and if its late we will fuck you and make you pay more. have a nice day.
the irony being that the tax collecting side of the government is known as 'her majesty's revenue and customs', despite the fact that she was liable to pay £20m in inheritence tax after her mother died, but she decided she would not pay. i am not sure if anyone questioned her about this, but seeing as she is a demi-god and we are her subjects it probably would not be good manners to questions ones master. how can you question god?. you just can't.
compare these 2 clips. they seem very different but in fact they are the same. people indoctrinated and coerced by the state, media, elite power to subjugate themselves to them. you are all invited to his funeral and their wedding. they are your family and friends as well and should be respected as such. they are just like you.
what do you mean you dont believe in monarchies and hereditary power?!.
whats all this democracy equality shit you are banging on about?!.
how dare you turn against your country?!!
you are a traitor!.
anyways here is a great song by a great band. midnight oil - truganini

how to destroy angels
weather has been dry the last few days so i managed to cycle to the gym on saturday, but i drove there in my toyota prius today as it was foggy and drizzly and i needed to go to oxford street and i didnt want to do so in my cycling/gym gear.
its not actually my prius. its my sisters but its mine while my sister works abroad for a year and i am taking care of it and its mine for a year. have already had it for 5 months and am surprised how little i have used it. i thought i would get lazy and start driving to the gym on the weekends instead of cycling, but i have only done so when its been wet outside and i wouldnt cycle then anyways. its not fun and its dangerous so i dont ride in the rain.
had to go to niketown as there are a new pair of airmax 95's coming out but it turns out they will have them in store on the 14th so i have to go back in then. i do like a nice pair of 95's. some poeple lust after headphones for £1000 or german cars. i go for a bit of air in my trainers.
had a few calls about various jobs so will see what happens. tomorrow is the first proper full week back at work for most places and having worked at financial companies they are completely dead over xmas and new year, so starting from tomorrow i think people will start getting their stuff together for the new year and if they need any people for projects.
today i have mostly been listening to how to destroy angels - keep it together. this takes a couple of listens and is not immediately accessible but its interesting and its like a good film, in that you have to watch it a few times before you pick up all the interesting details and it all fits into place. this is the musical equivalent of pulp fiction.
