Lifes but a Stage!

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages"
- William Shakespeare




Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Linkedin have now become our new, modern international stages. The mega arenas where we unashamedly, without faulter, launch ourselves upon a suspecting world wide audience. Every day of the week, 24 x 7, you can find us. Would Shakespeare be agassed?
I have friends on Facebook that I never speak to now. But their lives are played out for us all to see.... news on their new girlfriends, the new wives, the new children, the broken boiler, the car they desire, the TV ad they watched yesterday..... and on and on and on it goes.
All that chatter, all that NOISE!!

How very apt that I should go and see The King's Speech last week.
A great film. A time when as my mom tells me "life was slow" and everyone had a very private life. A life where you had time to think, reflect and recharge.
Yes thinking, reflecting and recharging. I like that. I will make a mental note to myself right now. Oh perhaps I will add it to my status on Facebook? I'm sure everyone is dying to know what I'm doing.

Status #adding to the noise

"Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"

William Shakespeare


"Because I have a Voice" George IV (Colin Firth, The Kings Speech)

Part III - Please Give me Second Grace

In this blog is my memory. Part ecstasy, part torture. To explore, and to arrive at the start — and know the place for the first time. Here begins a new enlightenment " You are the music while the music lasts " T. S. Eliot

Repeat after me ... "There's no such thing as Bad Karma."

Yeah I wish I believed it. Really I did. This week has been so odd. Last week was brill!! It started with seeing the "Demons of Rock" Motorhead play live. Awesome stuff. Rock never Dies.!! I headbanged like I was 18 again :) Happy Happy me. Althou my neck was sore the next few days. Then this week has been so weird. Two things have happened to me. 1. I got to be around grumpy people 2. I went to yoga classes in my dinner hour. So lets do 1 first. I consider myself a happy go lucky girl. Always looking on the bright sidea life. Always ready to be friendly to any person I meet. So when I have the misfortune to meet with grumpy grumpy and im talking real grumpy people, I just wanna kill them!! I just dont get it. Whats their problem? Why cant they just go home and be grumpy there instead of inflicting it on the general public. I sometimes give them about 2 sec of my life. I say "Loser" to myself and that's it. But some how they are still annoying me just by being i...
