An evil Warlord controls our lives! (Tales of 'The Loop' part one)

Have you ever noticed a chilling familiarity when doing something that signals that you have probably done it before? Have you ever felt dragged along by an invisible string, controlled by a master who manages your every move? Then, my fair chum, you are one of the rare, select few, who have cottoned onto the fact that we are all being dominated by an otherworldly being who manipulates our every move!

You may question - is this God? Is it Satan she speaks of? No! I can tell you that it is, indeed, neither. It is not known what this being calls itself as yet. The only label that I have found for this phenomenon is 'The Loop.'

Yes. This is the process by which we are all stuck on a continous circuit in life, where it feels as though you cannot break free, even if you want to! Being trapped in the same routines and structures of thought, this is all part of the dreaded 'Loop' and its games.

Perhaps the most biting aspect of this anomaly, is that we can often think that we have cheated the warlord by doing something entirely unexpected. At least, we think that it is unexpected. In fact, the warlord has really planned this as well! As he has planned all things.

Now, I hope I have gone some way to achieving my goal, which is to let as many people as possible know about 'The Loop', in the hope that we can someday overthrow the warlord and take control of our lives!

Come on people!!

We've got to take the power back!!!

Not another New Year Blog!!! (Afraid so....)

Well, here I am - making my first (and perhaps last) foray into the blogosphere! On researching various blogs I have noticed that there seem to be a vast array of them about the New Year - mostly the resolutions made, broken and kept at this time of year. So, why not? Ever the one to play it safe and boring, I'll give you my own thoughts on this tradition. Well, whether there is any point in making resolutions is certainly debatable, but I would like a written record of the things I would like to change in the coming year to see if I stick to any of them!

1) NEVER DRINK AGAIN!!! (EVER!) as you may have guessed I made this resolution on a balmy New year's day, with thudding temples and very few memories of the night before!

2) Try not to get annoyed at the slopping noise my little sister makes when she eats (but, seriously - how can you slurp a bloomin' quiche???) - I am putting that to bed now...

3) Try to do more things that you are afraid of (beginning with joining a street dance class - Oh yeah, watch me go!!)

4) Try to get more satisfaction from my job and remain calm in the face of adversity (which is often being told to "shut my face" by 13 year old girls!)

Ah, I have realised the first folly in my resolutions - all but one of them begins with TRY - which means I'm already questioning my ability to fulfill my promises! Uh-Oh - this does not bode well...
