and summer's here...

Waaaal, so much has happened, since August/Sept/Oct,  including very recently, a friend telling me he has seen in a dream, the start of a 5 year descent on this Earth, into an ice age, starting this December/January – and the signal for this cooling down worldwide, will be a huge comet show in our skies, starting Xmas 2013

Apocalyptic Times indeed

On my homefront, I have learned more about fishing, from an expert fishing friend, who I also interviewed, kamikaze style, in his home, for an article about Fishing that is to appear very soon in the east londoner magazine. I wrote another 3 articles for this same publication, a monthly magazine for East London - the first edition came out on 22 October, and I think it’s going to be a very nice mag

The other 3 stories I wrote for the 2^nd edition of the mag – the Xmas 2013 edition, are: a story about Drifting/motor racing, one about the Crossways Shopping Centre [and the Slow Life Movement] and lastly, a short report about the launch in EL on 30 October of the Bare-it-all-for-Cancer Birthdays Calendar, in which for each month of the coming years, East Londoners can check out the naked bods of groups of EL men, the pictures taken by 8 different  EL photographers – the whole enterprise being Linda Jacob’s contribution to the cancer treatment sector in EL – creating a cash fund that will be used to assist people in EL who need immediate money support when cancer is diagnosed & they start treatment

I have btw started my own Cancer Treatment muti supply – which is a locally available herb, ground up fine in a blender, then put into a glass jar and covered with vodka – screw the lid on, give it a good shake, then place in a dark place, and about ¾ weeks later, with hopefully daily shakings of the jar, you have a deep green liquid, which contains all the complex canabinoids that have been leached out of the plant by the vodka/alcohol – this is reputedly the top cancer treatment muti known to man?

I’m going to take some as a preventive measure – since I believe that this muti must have cellular repair/anti-oxidant/toxicity properties, and it comes with a nice enervating state of mind & being nogal

I am also cutting my teeth as a writer, and loving it – also becoming more & more adept at extracting from facebook much very useful information about health, herbs, the Universe, good & bad energy, etc – among the many lessons to be learned, about Karma etc, is one big lesson, which is to not ‘take on’ another persons heaviness/load – that is their Suffering, and also their Lesson,  from which they will grow  

I’ve had an insight too, along these lines, which says pretty much that if a person has not had a big Suffering experience in their life, they cannot/will not become properly mature – so suffering then becomes a very necessary part of growing up, and not something to be avoided at-all-costs....

I have also had the good fortune to meet a few new friends, who are very smart in various ways – one of them in the architectural sector, and also in the diet sector,  who advocates a Wholefoods diet – that seems in the end to be the great food answer – to return to eating the way that our distant forbears did – eat as wide a variety of whole grains/seeds/vegetables/roots/beans as possible – do much chewing, don’t rely only on juicing, and have variety in your diet

I continue to travel with my big tupperware of various concoctions & adaptogens & bicarbonate of soda, with which I can help friends suffering from heartburn and malaise/tiredness

And I have joined a circle of friends in what seems will become a darts throwing macho-bravado contest, where so far we have laughed much & hard, or at least I have – my darts companions tend to hold their laughter back a bit more than I do, seeing as they are more macho than I am – but the true test of macho, I suspect, is a relative/near total lack of regard for macho-ness – time will tell J

I have been the beneficiary  also of various insights, while driving [mostly] and once while recently in a supermarket queue – on these occasions I have taken up my trusty cellphone, and gone to ‘Notes’ and typed in my thoughts, becoming a New Age person against my better judgement, publicly wielding my cellphone, and running the risk of  having my phone snatched from my hands in a supermarket or at a street corner by an opportunistic cellphone collector - my recent & unpublished supermarket queue story/insight, I titled 'the black man's inspection'...

So, networking, writing, and taking photographs have increasingly become my main activities, along with some old habits like going to auctions, accosting attractive women, and avoiding my bank manager... my veggie garden is showing some promise in some small patches that I stole some time to clear of weeds + indigenous flowering shrubs, and so there are some leafy salads there again [rocket] and some other stuff springing up from seeds I scattered there about a month ago, just before our first big summer rain/s

In summary, it’s been a blessed time for me, of laughter with friends, much wisdom also from friends & from Deepak Chopra [and his side-kick Oprah Winfrey], and good energy from friends, herbs, adaptogens, etc
 I am grateful, and at rest [when I’m not up against one or other deadline] and optimistic, in the face of all odds, and even while receiving rude messages from my bank... J
