Inability to learn from past mistakes…

Just as we continue to seek pleasure over and over, in a variety of forms, it seems that the same ‘over and overness’ happens when we make mistakes. How many times have you done something knowing to a certain degree (but hoping like hell otherwise) that what you are about to do won’t have the same result as the last 4 times, and it does… and yet we continue doing shit, its as if we need to convince ourselves that we can succeed at something we have failed at previously, but the hope of success is not based on a new or different approach just a new or different attitude, or a deeper sense of hope or bullsh1t, sometimes we just think “it has to work this time, surely I won’t fail again”, and then you do… I mean it could be related to small insignificant issues, but what about when it starts affecting us on a deeper more substantive level, where we start, ever so slowly to doubt ourselves and our ability to succeed, then it ain’t so cool, seriously!

Beauty is perception...

When I see photos like this I wonder why it is that we crave so diligently things that contradict the beauty so evident! Is it only the lucky few who seek out and live this life where beauty is so innate to one's living who appreciate the levity of their life? We others desire so much 'stuff' that all else is compromised most notably our state of senses, our sense of being, our world so one dimensional that we lose our souls to it's linearity... And in doing so we lose ourselves and the opportunity to appreciate and experience true beauty in the world!

My new Poddy 2nd Gen

After knocking Apple for yrs I've taken the plunge, suffice to say it's truly awesome! I was the first to say NO! not an Apple, iTunes sux , iPods are overpriced etc etc. But after taking the plunge (traitor that I am) I hav e to say it really is an unbelievable device, and so much more than a mere MP3/4 player, the 2 nd Gen has a faster processor compared to the 1st Gen (& iPhone 3G) its slimmer, now with a full aluminium back (iPhone & 1st Gen has plastic backs), in built speaker and external volume buttons. Battery life is boosted to with 35 odd hours of music playing and about 5 to 6 hours video playback, if you use it for a lot of WiFi and gaming it's battery life comes down to 2 to 3 hrs (constant use). And the intuitiveness and seamlessness with which app's work and function is in a league of its own, seriously. The reason I took the plunge... besides the glorious design is the fact that we have a App Store in SA now so applications and games can...
