The-Ides-of-Blue
My very own eyes gaze so very Blue
So bright and shining right at you
Our soul wanders searching to be true
Travails full of blues; wot are we to do
Such hurt and compassion, so full of rue
Understanding is to not upset the brew
Love unconditional can be ours tis true
To isolate & abandon; put under review
Holding embracing sharing with our lives
In this; is the way a true person strives
Waiting learning an acceptance thrives
Have patience no harm is meant for thee
Build foundations, grow strong like a tree
Gaze at soft petals of light shining with glee
Radiant & cascading ligth thru sunlit branch
And background sky of purest blue
Life all around; surrounds us with hope
Surrending all with love and harmony
Now we are in the shadows that speak
My heart cries with anguish & compassion
From my eyes of deepest blue

To-wer-of-Be-auty
Tis the treatment from Hell for some of us; das wot I call it anyway, doing the Hepatitis C course is basically a tour of duty one does not know if yor gonna get a cushy posting or stuck right in the thick of the action. With the effect of the Ribivarin mixed with Interferon [chemo] So if it wuz a war [an it is/can be] Reckon quite a few of us wood say 'kick ass! I'm up for dat jus point me in the right direction.' We volunteer for duty/action. Only to find some days we're in the Bunker huddled down letting de bombs drop all around 'impervious.' I used to lay on the bed with the curtains open cos one needs light; with a book open like I wuz reading NOT.
So I'm into dis idea of creating a book about coping with 'The tx from hell.' Title of book wood have to be Tour Of Duty reckon tis a good name for a good cause. People really do not kno wot there ticket holds [tx] until dey are in the thick of it about 8 hours after starting in my case. An with a dodgy legal judgment against me I wuz facing having my lease negated an losing my home within two weeks. If it wuz not for my mother kicking dads butt I woulda lost my home. Can anyone actually imagine going thru tx from hell without legal representation. An den finding an honest solicitor. Fuck when the judge ruled against me on a rule shown to him by my local council [Wandsworth Borough] solicitors which said 'if a person has not made enuff effort into finding out facts.' Well it's up to the council to provide the quite legitimate figures I've asked for & to say I'm welcome to come down to council offices & look! Look where! 'Nah tis yor job' I'm a bill payer you is paid by me etc anyway I did send auditors in [eventually] when I wuz still recovering an guess wot? Dey were refused entry! Not surprised, the law it seems does not apply to certain cases with the truth. Why? Cos it would not be conducive to have the truth come out.
The Judge said I'm to find so many thousands [triple the 4k I wuz contesting] in two weeks or lose my home. When I feinted an hit the floor he aparently made it a month. The ambulence men said 'this man should not be in court.' So yeah I had A TOUR OF DUTY still here still fighting still writing. Altho under certain conditions i would part with dis fight cos dere are better tings in life for me to do.
Namaste is namaste no matter wot we say The Dude

Rep-lions-Roar-Zion
After the storm it is so quiet
We malign with no end in sight
Tis our lot to live in such plight
In the end it'll end up in a fight
Always losing sight of wot is right
Take anger with us into the night
Sleeping heals waking up knowing a call is the thing to do. Communicate with that person let the healing begin; with understanding and love born from sharing oneself; it's good to share BE at one with each other.
When I have tried again an again to reach an understanding.
The anger is forever present waiting hidden/contained but there. Laying in wait; you don't know when, you don't know how. But it will come; usually tis when your looking forward to speaking an BAM one puts the phone down on the table an covers ones ears. 'No' 'please don't do dis' 'please don't do dis.'
Now it's wrack n ruin listening to anger. It does not matter dat we are in the fight of our life, an need to stop self sabotaging ourselfs. Reach out an grasp/get the motivation/self respect to enter the world & create summin. 'Summin beautiful' jus like an artist; feel the need to create express yourself. So many people have told me I'm good, you to Minerva [good]
Me making people laugh by having a different perspective on life; one where you end up getting hugged by a complete stranger. Wot do dey see? The loneliness/the acceptance/the love. Caring wrung from compassion or jus being me?
This saga between Minerva an myself 'The Dude' is down to ME I initiated contact, put the hook out. Life is like going fishing 'innit.' In my view anyway, tis thru communication/actions we put our hooks out there in the world/society. What we say, wot we hear & wot we do.
We all do it take part das life innit. Communication how we interpret each other.
In Minerva I saw a very special person. The internet is a tool of communication like no other. Where we have confidence cos we're speaking in a comfortable environment. True communication can take place- or indeed the opposite, depending on one's motive, why you is fishing so to speak? But not with us!
I knew nuffin about her [Minerva] Except she wuz deep an das wot I said "you is deep."
From dat we went on a trip to Holland [fictional] and spent the weekend in Amsterdam.
It wuz good clean fun nuffin else & with Min being a single mum along with myself [single] we had the time for each other. All in all we had a lot in common; on the Health front we both having finnished a Liver cleansing programme from hell; after all we did meet on a forum set up to support people like ourselves.
Namaste

Part-eh-pie-ce
There wuz a young lady from Lee
There wuz a young lady from Lee
She climbed up a bloody great tree
When she wuz up there she stripped herself bare
An screamed everyone_ come look at me
I'm standing stark naked up this tree
Then she did spy a man over there
An then went on to declare
Hey you come climb up this tree
And stand naked with meeeeeee

Blog-gin-gin-it
We chant the Lotus Sutra-Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, I've just come back from chanting for an hour & den watching a talk given by the Soka Gakkai President. The practice [chanting] is unique since in effect we are our own teachers; believing the solutions are always within ourselves [Buddhists] and it's a matter of chanting with right thought-conviction. The last week has been hard knowing a year is coming to an end & wot does one [myself] have to show for it?
Since buckling down an respecting myself wonderful tings have happenned; Oh such joy for me I mess a lot of my chances up. One way or de the other, relationship with myself must come first.
Do not tink dis is easy especially after

Ch-Ch-Changes Inn-it
Not forum or blogsville but a person who called demselves a proffesional blogger; das wot dey saw. Me I hit blogs @ random an I've not got thru five [Bogey says ten] yet cos the people are beautiful an fascinating. Not sure why I've not got anybodys blog ref, since das another ting you leave a message on peoples blogs to get yor blog in kinda ting. Well I'm always different, have nay a clue! An besides I dunno if I should even share some blogs cos it's there own innit.
I blog; having parted from a year long relationship with rue a bit of harmony is due this poem wuz started last night an kinda went on anon to be not a poem after the night before?
Changes
One must face the pain ch ch changes so hard to see yorself before one casts the die.
We must be careful with truth an honesty in a life so full of changes.
One must face the strain coming in from the rain helps we gotta refrain from putting our body under constant strain. Ch changes must be faced before nought be gained; tis frightening if we look about where are those Ch changes
I don't want to live in truble an pain. The lord forgives it's a gift he bears it's never to late it's never to late jus look over there. The Dude his life is full of rue there's nought else for him to do but accept what has gone is not wot is gonna a be. Tis a time to stand still & take stock of thee;
Gratitude for dose dat communicate with glee; share their life & talk with harmony. Always surprised dat wot I've done/said may have helped cos it's jus me an I kno so well the word experience. Stand still is taking stock inventory, thanking a forum whose existence is there for people to share their journey. Always dis journey no matter where we are 'right here right now' is how it works. The past is irelevent especially now a new year is dawning.
Discipline is from; Chanting Satsang Exercise Yoga Chi Qong...If my mind wonders it's so hard to keep it on track. We are talking @ least two hours tho. An it takes self motivation the choice to maybe let an action bear fruit [easier said den done] if I want to pave my way, tis the only way to keep clarity of mind & even den my expectations exceed my limit. We will always meet obstacles sometimes it's like fate has deliberately put dem our way; other obstacles tis jus our way. I've been bereft of a lot dat I say, wots said above must be done. After jus two days the world opens with new beginnings, disapointment also; never tink yor find yorself in others when alone.Question: Know yor limit...influence
Wot the fuck das dat mean? Well I can only cope with de first question. Influence such an important word it's a question on wot we allow ourselves to be influenced by cos wot effect does dat influence have. 'Oh another gap.'
Positive; uplifting; 'puts a smile on yer face' das good. Negative; well how does one cope. The negative input; how much control do we have, is it getting about the obstacles thrown up by a badly run society. Nuffin works in the public sector [our bedrock] So we gotta cope with hoplessness-resignation and negativity pervades our psyche. Un necessary stress das one kind. The way the state fills us with terror basically...Enuff on dat I kno Bogey!
Control negativity self worth enhance our mind state. Knowledge enlightenment during a ten day silent meditation period I seemed to turn my ego off at will. The beauty tranquility of dat place can only be found in following a strict set of beliefs. Easy options have deluded me 'oh you can get away with chanting jus ten/fifteen minutes twice a day.' Now after going to dese gatherings where we share our love by chanting for an hour before anyone talks I kno easy options are bad influences delusion. Like I've had a biscuit for lunch so don't need to eat, my body has it's lunch- energy from a biscuit!
Or slander for me dis is reserved for those beliefs I bitterly oppose not people. Because in my view it is not proper behaviour, to hear Chinese whispers said about oneself is down to me even tho I've not spoken dose words. We must even take responsibility for wot we have not done/said. If delusion makes people utter falsehoods why should it bother me; if I have only spoken true? Yeah well sumtimes it's best to keep it to yor self take responsibility by not saying anyting. When we know it will cause slander all to often in an open community one will find dose dat tink different to yorself.....I entered into a relationship with a very special person 'I kno Bogey'....Thru the internet loadsa people are doing it but dis has been in front of a forum which spreads loving kindness for people dat are/going to/ have been thru. Gotta be one of the hardest programmes/cures there is for some; the leaflet actually says it in the pack.
Wuz the word I'm gonna use now Bogey? ... Yep 'but' dis word could compromise a saint. I tink the best way to put it is how do we interpret our input.and..thus our output; One ting dat the Thai people loved about me wuz how I interpreted stuff. Coss a Buddhist sees/interprets life so differently to us in the west 'no one has ever died in the name of Buddha.'
I have to accept my ignorance when you hear a person chant an den kno dat persons basic personality! Without ever speaking to dem. This is not a curse as I first thought but a blessing. It took me a while to understand/cope with it. I kno wot you gotta work on kinda ting; they is they an I am I with my flaws to. But we are both chanting thus it does not matter. The answer will come to dem when they are ready; the same as it will for me; before den is a waste of time [the answer] cos despite knowing it we are not gonna act on it. Denial strenghens our negative side. Acceptance our positive side....
So which one do we choose denial or acceptence. If summin bothers one outside of oneself we have a choice do we take the negative side or accept it & thus not let it hinder us. An example yor laying down about to have acupuncture an the building is rattling-vibrating from a drill das demolishing a block of offices behind the building. Friggin unreal; you jus gotta let go take yorself to a safe place in yor mind. The benefits in dis case Acupuncture far outweigh the negatives.
Choose to let go 'das how it is' the friggin council don't give a fuck bout the ruction of totally demolishing a building younger than those buildings around it? The vibration is gonna demolish buildings dat survived the war. Arh the need for acomadation far exceeds the need for employment dunnit HUH. An who gives a damn about the effect on workers locally.
Well drop dat taut for now cos I'm having acupuncture so I go to a safe place.
we can't live in truble we can't live in pain
To kno dat we can't really lay blame can we all go back in time das insane
People can relate to the same mind frame when we fight to stay sane
Try not to replay dis game cos we all kno our name
Tis nought but folly when all dat cometh is fame
Ch ch changes come on we know tis our game
Stand still take oneself an wrap it in love an kindness
For we live our life amongst so much strifeThe lord from above sings us his song
Come unto me my child for there is no wrong
Into this life we bring our gift to belong
Acceptence part of being being our song yet we can exist so alone
Be right here now lets all start singing our song so cheerful we can belong
We don't see the world rushing us by but take fate/life on the chin
Forget anger: Oh the noise I really don't wanna make a din
Anger so prevalent it really should be made a sin
Put dat put dat right over dere 'yeah' in da bin
Cold Tired Hungry Lonely Sad Bored: Lets start with the first just eaten some pasta an veggies.
Tired: not really used to be more despondent now
Hungry: just ate
Lonely: Always but not kinda ting. There is a place I go to naturaly the Healer said same.
Sad: My whole life is pretty sad leave a talented child without guidence an dey will get up to mischive. Das me quite an adventure tho! I like to laugh nuffin wrong in dat.
Bored: Yep gimme summin get ma teeth into dat I really likem doing creating summin good. The means of communication is available now dis blog the forums, the internet; very exciting jus gotta make the connections. Sometimes I tink why is it up to me to contact people why have dey not called me. Dunno cos my mind drifts an next minute one has lost contact. Chanting does empower people, even if you get a knock back 'so what.'
Namaste
INNIT The Dude

Tut-Tut-or-Crash-Bang
Cut to next morning on the Ko-San Road I'd jus finnished breakfast an I see dis Tut Tut roar [if one can say dat with 3 wheels] up to the door stops quick an his back wheels hit air. The driver starts listing all tings interesting [possible] to a farang Silk-Temples-money exchange-ect ect...No reaction from me. Den he says woman I look up hmm wossat?
Next minute I'm on the Tut Tut ride thru hell the air wuz foul. The highway is not used by em [tut tuts] cos dey are toll roads & I musta gone thru every market in Bangkok [wuz wondering is dis journey ever gonna end] When he turns off the road & stops outside dis building where it looked like the entrance to a club. He chats with someone an I go in; nice air con, big open room with a bar at the far end seating along the back wall, tables in the middle as well; den on the right there wuz a stage where all the woman were along with a sofa in front so you could pick yor gal. The boss is hidden an you only see him when he 'wants you to' so to speak...Uncanny the way he's in the dark. So we sit down an he tells me the price 600 Baht for half an hour. I say to him "it is half an hour" he nods, so I say Ok give him 600 Baht an he nods in the direction of de girls. Audience [Boss] I go over an start looking at the birds/ladies. Just a little intimidated cos my first visit to a brothel; an the girls did not look to eager kinda ting [can't blame em] But one woman seeing my unease gave me a smile, so I choose her an we walk round the side of the stage thru a door up these stairs to the first floor. We enter a shower an the woman washes me [checking me out aparently] Dis obviously makes one horny; den takes me into a room made up from boards jus like earlier in dat acomadation Hall; no windows but a fan, anyway I get ma extra safe Durex out an we start. Since the shower had got me horny I came early But stayed quiet [yucky] an after a little while I said "stop I want to put a new Durex on" so I withdraw an she looks down den says "oh you cum you cum" I say "yeah but we still got 20/25 minutes left" she say "no you cum you cum finnish over" my protestations fell on deaf ears, so next minute we're back in the shower [very clean dese whore houses] I'm really pissed off; so when we get downstairs I ask to talk to the boss. An tell him I'm unhappy cos taut I had 30 mins! He jus looked at me & I knew 'one had to pay again'....Hmmm so I say "if I pay another 1000 Baht [£11/12] can I have a girl for ONE HOUR constant sex"...He agrees.Dis time I'm gonna take my time on who I choose 'kno wot I mean.' So I sit down on the sofa in front of em [ladies] Light a cigarette an start eyeing em up [don't wanna be disapointed] Well none of the girls seemed to keen an I wuz not really attracted to any of em either. So I go an sit at the bar....After a while the boss appears an says "problem" I look over an nod my head in disaproval....He nods his head & den claps his hands. Next minute dis woman comes rushing thru the door with a tea towel in her hands. The boss looks at her den me an walks away.
So I look her up an down 'yeah fine' mid thirties slim get a good vibe & so we go back upstairs to the shower room. An dis time I'm in charge of de washing :wink: Lol. Ounce in the room she is happy to see the condoms come out & I put the watch by the bed saying 'ONE HOUR' she nods....Woo Hoo we got an understanding. Ounce I got going we had a lotta fun, she kept going Shh 'n' smiling cos I wuz enjoying de fact we wuz enjoying ourselfs [sure beats washing up] Anyway ounce the hour wuz up I give her some condoms for which she gratefully nodded...Shower den go back downstairs.When we entered the room all the girls turned & looked at her with 'wuz it any good in their eyes.'An she turned round bowed down on her knees an cupped her hands smiling she said "kop kun kah" [thankyou].....When I left the place did nay have a clue where I wuz but it wasn't dat far in a proper Cab cos dey used the Toll roads 8) Arh nice no train crash for me den :wink:

We-in-tern-at-In-ter-net
Two people meet over the Internet & get on real well. So the girl invites him over for dinner since he lives right across town. Saturday comes an it's an 'orrible day grey an wet. So he makes his way across town for the dinner date.
The evening goes really well they get on fine loadsa communication. He is the perfect gentleman so at around 11pm he says I better head of home. She walks to the front door with him an gives him a hug an says lets get together again/stay in touch. He replies with a kiss on the lips saying let's do jus that. An heads off into the grim night.
After he's gone she runs upstairs to call her friend to let her know how great the night had been.
Just as she's about to call the doorbell goes. The dude is standing at the front door looking wet from the rain. He say's "my car won't start must be due to the weather or summin" an shrugs den says "can I sleep on the couch since I live right across town" she says "sure come on up."
They end up spending the night together an have a great time. In the morning after dey have made love they're both laying down on the bed & the girl says "what are you gonna do about your car" the dude sits up on his elbow looks over at her with a puzzled frown & den says "Wotta you talking bout I ain't got a car"???

Cop-per-Comm-Unity
Oh I wuz standing up cos so angry the lady who arranged the meet wuz scared to let me speak lol
Kept my hand up long time an ounce I did speak the Officers were quite pleased or at least the Commander. Cos my beef wuz how are dey gonna do their job when the Council does not increase their budget for two years, how he had to find £60.000 in savings. So we gotta look at ourselves cos we are responsible for electing the very people who will not finance em [police] properly but still expect results ridiculous.
The twisted bonus of imposing a £60,000 saving wuz having to close the Police Station in the afternoon & at weekends. So crimes were not reported or people had to phone in get a Crime Ref No for the Insurance. But the crime not listed cos no weapon used as an example of distorting crime figures.
The main theme wuz communities etc along with the role of dese Community Support Officers bit of a joke really.
But the commander wuz doing a good job an I took notes. Some of the phrases he came out with were New Age Spin kinda tings. But wotever technologies are used friggin cameras is a good example. One ting one ting the community wants is THE BOBBY ON THE BEAT. Nuffin can beat having a Bobby on the beat [Policeman]
Den who turns up an sits next to me the MP whose career I've followed & had quite a bit of communication with her in the past. Then the President looked at Mad-Dan an said 'this is your area Councilor, shouldn't you be doing something about it.' Mad-Dans reply 'what do you want/expect me to do carry a placard up an down the high street don't break the law.' An the president said 'yes that's a good idea.' I chipped in with 'HEAR HEAR GREAT IDEA' lol luvvit dat bastard councilor is as crooked as dey get lol.
The Dude is tolerated cos I make em tolerate me. Had to promise to make the next community meet tho....Das ok Bogey the new woman in charge is quite good. But she should of had a drink of water handy plus some Tea/Coffee a few biscuits on the table for them, make it look professional 'kno wot I mean.'
Afthe meeting had finished the president I tink is President [Chairman jus received ma monthly P.Society ting] might be/is one down! Of the Putney Society said 'Guy you talk to much' my reply wuz 'I agree but wot I say makes sense.' Actually das not tru I thought dat I, could not bother to preply mean reply. If it wot I am sayibg kno wot I mean....Wuz smoking Bogey. Smoking gimme a gun, can't resist red buttons got an urge. An I make people laugh...Make myelf laugh ...Myself..you to Bogey but yors is more like a grimace lol! Sorry Bogey could nay resist. I look at one of yor previous wifes an ma jaw drops....Yeh spk ltr, wuz she bit of a goddess?
Then the President said I speak Verbal Diarrhea [mind fog] He wuz in a bad mood, had a go at someone else as well. The Commander & I passed each other & he smiled. Put down his case and spoke about the case for these Community Support Officers. How some of them went on to become Police Officers. I'm still of the opinion we still want a Bobby on the beat. Someone who has the power to arrest etc. Oh another point dat wuz crippling him was Health & Safety. Nuffin can be made so any given situation will not end up with an injury or worse, tis the nature of the job innit!
But Health an Safety are having a dam good try making up work protocols dat cripple one when it comes down to a multitude of doe's an don't...Friggin ridiculous.
Y'all have a good day lol The Dude
