It’s
been one heck of a ride. One crazy,
mixed up, muddled up time, it really has.
And I got to thinking…what have I learned? When I look back over the last eighteen
months or so, what have I learned?
Well.
In no particular order…
Really
tough hard exercise can sort out all manner of crap.
Listen
to your body. It really does tell the truth. Unfortunately most of us stick our fingers in our ears and sing loudly.
Breathing
is very hard.
Your mind will lead you astray.
Meditation should be obligatory – for the mental health of the world.
Meditation should be obligatory – for the mental health of the world.
Never
tell anyone what to do. It is not your
business.
Contradictions
abound.
Love
your enemies – they have the most to teach you. Seriously.
Nothing
is real. Really.
Unfortunately
banks don’t run on quantum principles.
Being
Zen is tough.
When in doubt, play loud rock music.
.
.
Fasting
for long periods and driving is not a good combination.
Think
before you spout out shit.
Don’t
think too much.
Sense of humour is the probably the most important character trait you can have.
If you can’t change your life, change the way you think about it.
If you can’t change your life, change the way you think about it.
We
are all alone.
You
can’t please everyone – don’t even try.
Nobody
can save you. (I like Nobody).
If
you love someone, tell them (yes, even if they’re psychic).
Try
not to judge.
Dogs
are small gods.
Gods
bite.
Teabags
lie.
Sugar
is sweet evil.
Life
is too short for gardening or housework – unless you enjoy them (you weirdos).
Friends
that don’t like you just the way you are aren’t your friends.
Smoked
tofu with almonds totally utterly rocks.
So do small knitted slugs.
So do small knitted slugs.
Never
judge a book by its cover (literally – ho ho – and metaphorically).
When
something about someone really bugs you, ten to one you have that self-same trait yourself. Which is hugely annoying.
Massage is the dog's bollocks. Please read that sentence carefully.
The
truth hurts.
Use
all your senses – all the time.
Religion
is bonkers.
People
are weird.
Never make assumptions.
Love
really is the bottom line.
Be
kind. Or at least try.
Avoid
wankers.
Open
your heart wide open.
Have
no regrets.
Give
it your best shot.
Don’t
take yourself too seriously.
It’s
not always about you.
It’s
always about you.
Oracles
are open to misinterpretation.
When
dealing with arsewipes, just smile sweetly and nod.
It’s
not worth trying to force the universe. The universe will snicker at you from
behind its hand.
Never
give up.
Know
when you’re on a losing wicket and quietly pad out backwards making small ‘I’m
not really here’ hand motions.
Never turn down a rain poncho.
Never ever EVER get a bikini wax by a girl who’s only done, like, two before.
I
think that’s it. So long and thanks for all the fish. *ring*

Well - I guess nobody's perfect! There again, like you, I like Nobody!!
Silence or loud rock music, works all the same, as long as it interrupts the loop. You're approaching Zen status. I disagree with tofu, smoked or not, it tastes like rubber :)
It still is one heck of a ride, and I only expect it to get wilder from here on out! Of course, therein lies the adventure :-)
Sum (re)capitulation, huh :o)
I'm making the whole list into wall paper as a poster just wouldn't be big enough!
Sometimes I think about the fact that millions of years of evolution have gone into making me a talking monkey.
Then I think, "Dude, I'm a talking monkey. THAT'S AWESOME!"
Lots of doubt, lots of rock music. Now it all makes sense. You've learned much and taught much as well, thanks for that.
Hmmm. I'd like to know what caused this out-pouring of all sorts of stuff. But then, I'm a nosey bitch.
I like the cartoon about the dog (wanker) And 'you can't please everybody - don't even try'.
Hugs to you, Janey.
Some people tell other people to be themselves when, in fact, they are always themselves, even when they are not.....lol
Love the notion that I sin differently from you. So true.
Far a well, Moor Lass. It's bean a plea sure. :o)
Interesting, indeed. Fascinating, actually. A few utterly wrong by me, but excellent overall.
I'd love to borrow this.
You don't sound very desperate to me. Maybe you hide it well.
This is wonderful. Really made my morning. Thinking I should do this on my vlog this week. Things "I've" learned. :D
Don't forget to add a prefix to your posts ie: You're a Plastic Jobo Pooks...like all the others.....lol
I need to tattoo this entire post somewhere on my body...or get a print out and hang it near my computer...haven't decided which yet...
Don't forget to add a prefix to your posts ie: You're a Plastic Jobo Pooks...like all the others.....lol
******************
My name is automatically blocked from most forums now before I even post. That's ignorance and bigotry for ya...lol. The last one was AVF.
Why you would claim to be Jobo Pooks is beyond me and don't use that old get out clause "we all have a little Jobo inside us all." lol.
But then I suppose if you don't like you then you have to pick someone to be instead.....lol
Anyway...go sign the tv licence petition, you lot....

This isn't an exit drama is it, Jane????
I loved this. Some great advice here. I really loved the 'Don't judge me because I sin differently than you.'

@Marek: Know exit drama, but sew journ? Burn out recovery.
@ Jobo: (Ab)so(l)u(te)l(y) (s)tit(che)s. Ashes to phoenix. Dust to bust.
So glad I decided to look at this post. Like all your writings there's a lot of good stuff here. Or stuff that I think is useful to me anyway.
Life is hard for the young especially when our modern society has thrown away so many of the rules. But there we are. Yes, we should all meditate more. Not sure I understand the dog's bollocks bit though.
I NEEDED to read this post - thank you thank you thank you x
It's one of those silent exit dramas isn't it? lol
I love this with all my heart
