Overwhelmed!

Have you ever been in such a need for a hug that it hurt? To be overwhelmed by the feeling that the only thing able to stop and calm your feelings of pent up anger and resentment is that gentle, but firm, squeeze of someone's arms wrapped around you? To have that simple, caring, reassuring action done for you to show that things aren't as bad as they seem; to be shown you're not alone.

That was me, whilst waiting on Monument Bridge, at 5:40pm today. A lone figure in the crowd, silently and patiently waiting for the bus home. Head held high, intently gazing into the middle-distance, all the time feeling like I was crumbling inside.

At that point in time nothing else mattered or was needed. I desperately needed to be able to melt into that invisible person's warm embrace. The embrace that would make me come back to reality and to my senses. It would have allowed me to forget all the worries of my day; to blot out the tiredness and weariness of events going on around, and because of, me; to allow for a small oasis of serenity in the spinning vortex that seems to be my existance at the moment.

Insights: Number Seven In An Occasional Series


You are The Devil


Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession


The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.


Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

My Thoughts Exactly!

Occasionally - certainly not as often as I'd like - I'm able to get my hands on a copy of tenfootCity. This is a magazine that "... reflects a unique, inspiring, challenging and creative city that stands alone, at the end of a long dark corridor; an enclave of true reality, that is called Hull. A place that harbours a special lifestyle, distinctive accent and exclusive sense of humour. The aim of this magazine is to highlight and encourage all of the vibrancy of life that exists herein." It's also a damn good read!

For those of you who don't read it, or can't get a copy, here's an article from the latest edition. It mirrors my thoughts about the current season exactly.

Scam Alert!

I got this email at work today. In the light of its content, I thought it only best that I report it here. Don't say you haven't been warned!


Subject: Wickes DIY SCAM

A "heads up" for men who may be regular Wickes customers.

Over the past month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you!

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead, they ask you for a ride to another Wickes or Homebase. You agree, and they get into the back seat.

On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen on November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th & 24th. Also December 1st, twice on the 3rd and three times just yesterday ... and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So ... be careful!
