Tonight I went to James Bond for a second time Such a great film. Anyway, a couple o the adverts before the film really made me think.
The first was an advert for a Remmington shaver and the end line was 'it's what' on the outside that matters'. It made me think where have we got to as a race? It seems that we are completely tied up in this idea that what we have, what we own and what we look like is all that life is about. What ever happened to what is on the inside? I am really only worth as much as my clothes?
The second advert was along the same lines but right now I am strugling to remember what they were forcing upon me. If anyone has seen tha James Bond film recently then let me know what the ad was.
I am just struggling with the fact that we seem to no longer care what people are like but just what they look like. I want to know people, to get to understand them and why they think what they do. I want to learn from them and have my life enriched because I have spent time getting to know them Of cours I will only do this if they wear designer clothes, have the latest phone and ipod and all the melarky!

Superman!
What a day it has been. I had to go to B&Q to get some stuf for work and as the lady was showing me where to go I noticed a guy who had something up his jacket. I told the lady who then went and passed the message on. Guy does a runner and I go to go after him but they stop me!
With all this happening Mr Stealy Man got away. None the less B&Q were grateful for the help!

Forbidden Word
Last weekend a close family friend died. It is a sad time as he was slightly younger than my father, this I believe has played on his mind.
It really seems to have affected my parents badly. Does this mean that feel that they are at the age when people start to pass away? I hope not.
Death is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. One very sad day I remember was when my mother gave me a gift she never wanted to give me, a funeral tie. She said to me 'Sadly you will get a lot of use out of this'. Poor Mum.
How should we cope with death? It there a right way? Why does it always seem so wrong? I never know what to say. Does anyone?
On the 28th of this month it will be the 18th anniversary of my Grandad's death (mum's dad). Still 18 years on I get upset and miss him dearly, should I be over this by now? Maybe time is not really a healer but just a long term plaster?

Flickr!
I think I am getting addictted to Flickr. I love posting photos and also sad as it is I keep looking to see how many views I've had. Currently I am at 8676. Also I am top hit on Google if you type in 'King Kieran'.
This is how sad life has become now.
But do me a favour and google me and then check out the photos!

Time to stroll
It seems to me that everyone is in such a rush all the time and that nobody knows how to relax. As I walk to work everyone is rushing by me while I am just strolling along seemingly without a care in the world.
This weekend a friend of the family died, not even 60. Life is to sort for us to be rushing around and not giving time to each other. I feel that I have changed in the last year and my time away has helped me realise how important people are. I saw great places while I was away but what I noticed is that the things I remember most is the adventures I had with people. It was them that made my trip all that it was.
A question that I am asking myself at the moment is 'what can I give to people to better them?' If I have changed then how can I better serve others? How can better myself with all that I have gained in the last 12 months?
Time to ponder.

Jump!
That is a choice I have right now.
I half assumed and very stupidly thought that I would have time to breath before I had to start thinking about my long term plans.
Something has come up as a possible but it just seems so big and beyond me. I am not to sure what to do?
If onl there was a little magic ball you could roll to tell you if it is right or not. Guess I just have to kee dreaming there.
I know I have not posted in quitea while but now I have internet at home hopefully it will help me to post more often and then Joe will keep me on his favs!
