Ok, so in reply to a couple of posts on here, here is my response to the whole question of gods/God and if this offends, or the admin want to remove it, then so be it.

I have studied history, to quite a good level and have covered many time zones in this study and also looked into many leaders or Kings and seen how they have manipulated the religion subject to their own end.

Obviously Henry 8th is a good question in point.  He didn’t like his mrs, so he created a new religion that allowed himself to get divorced, almost as many times as he liked and this religion is the main religion in the UK as we speak.  There is also evidence, lots of it against the catholic church, paganism, sun worshiping and most other organised religions.

Egotististical monsters, such as Hitler, Marx, Ceaser….you pick a number have only ever manipulated it as a way of controlling people.  Back in the 18/1900’s there is much evidence to suggest that men worked all the hours that god sent monday to saturday and to stop people from straying, sundays were not only taken up with church in the morning, but church activites all day, so that people thought that the church was marvellous, but also gave them no time to think for themselves.

I used to do all of the church stuff, even used to be a sunday school teacher, but then I realised that life was out of there.  If ‘God’ was truely all around then why did I have to go to church on a sunday for the most boring hour of my life, when he was  ‘all around’?.

I believe in people, their spirits, and also an afterlife.  I cannot see why even the most complex chemical reactions in out brains would actually just be it, when we spend our lives living and learning, and then nothing.  I acutally, and you can be as sceptical as you like here, saw my mum’s spirit leave her body when she died, and that has got to have moved onto the next plane/plain, but this has nothing to do with somebody declaring that priests should not be allowed to marry, that you must go and be bored on a sunday and whenever else to worship your own ‘god’ and anything else.

I think that the essence of most religions should be applied to our everyday lives-the ten commandments, the comapssion and the following the ‘rules’ etc, this is and has to be the way that mankind gets on, on this planet, but the way that us humans are ‘programmed’ is that somebody or something has to be responsible for the bad and good things in our lives ends up in us believeing in something that is beyond our control.  Each and everyone of us has to believe in something higher or better than ourselves in order to survive.  I don’t consider myself to be aethiest, if anything a pagan, but whenever we need help in something we all say ‘please god’ or something good happens we say ‘thankyou god’.

I know nothing, but you decide, just my humble point of view.

I realise that this is of no interest to most of you on here, but I like to blog about my life, get it out ‘there’ and see if anyone can give me some input, in anyway.

So, Paul, my partner, went into rehab last friday, for 3 months.  I will be perfectly honest with you here, I had NO idea that I was going to miss him, not really, but as soon as he got on the bus to go, I knew that the bottom was dropping out of my world and that I was going to miss him with all my heart.  This hasn’t changed.  I miss his company, I miss cuddles, I miss his offbeat sense of humour, I miss everything about him.  I really love and admire him for what he is doing, because yes, he does like a drink, but he is doing it to prove to Talwyn how much he wants to make this family work and how much he wants to try and put their relationship back on track.

Did any of you see the final episode on friday night??  You who don’t live in the country, have you been introduced to the new ‘god’ that is Gene Hunt on BBC worldwide or on iplayer?  If not, get yourself over to it and watch this series.

Gene is a good, well not all the time, copper who, to me, gets the job done.  His methods would make today’s PC curl up their toes and die.  He is an over the top exageration of coppers back in the time, who, for one reason or another, through hell or high water felt that if they wanted to convict some ‘scum’ he would go ahead and do it.

Talking to those of you who saw it, did you think that it got the ending that it deserved?? Did it explain enough to you of what they were doing there, or did you feel cheated?

I think that the ending brought the ending together perfecttly, they made it poignant adnd personal to all of the characters involved, not just Gene and Bolly.  Have we been twisted enough as humans, through the medium of television to expect happy endings, not that this was not maybe the case, but did you feel that it concluded well?

I watch quite alot of television, not always main streamed tv, but I have seen some programs that leave me feeling ‘should I have wasted all that time watching this’ or ‘wow, that was it, you have got it’

Funny, fickle world this television business.

I told you all a couple of weeks ago that my relationship was over.  Well, after much talking and some organisation my partner is going into proper rehab on friday and I really admire him for it.

Like me, he went through daily rehab at a wonderful centre in Truro, which turned my life around totally, but it was not enough for him and even though he had cut his drinking down considerably it wasn’t enough and it was causing real problems with my family.  The main point of contention is when he has had a bit too much to drink he forgets that he is the adult in the relationship that he has with my eldest daughter and what starts off in banter soon turns into him getting really quite nasty to her, becasue he is giving more than she can handle.  I am not saying that Talwyn doesn’t antagonise him, because she does, only when he is on the beer, but he just can’t let things lie.

I have just got a computer back after nearly 3 weeks without one.

That’s ok, you may think, but it has actually proved to be some of the most difficult 3 weeks of my life.  Why?  Because I now realise that I rely so heavily on the internet for all that I do in my life.  Take it away from me and I am floundering like a fish out of water.

Ok, I do blog and do bits for fun online but I am actually amazed at how many things I actually do do without even thinking about it.  I bank, shop, for everything, use it for researching, use it most importantly to do alot of my socialising and it was horrid having this inabillity to do these things.  I didn’t even have a computer until 5 years ago and since my husband and I split up, I do use it, as I have already said for everything.  Talwyn was letting me use her i touch for the little bits that that would allow me to do, and they are great little inventions, but they can’t compare to the lovely new animal that is now sat on my lap purring away.

I reckon that it was the ‘out of touch’ thing that got me down the most.  My friends are scattered mostly all over this country now, let alone the world and we all use the internet for keeping in touch-very rarely do we phone each other, but stay in touch via email and facebook and I have felt totally cut off from them all. The world is most certainly a much smaller place now because of the world wide web and very scarily, I am not sure that it is a world that I could cope in without technology.  I would be totally lost.

Hallo everyone, sorry I haven’t been around for ages, but my computer got broken and I am now only on the net by hook and by crook!

I have had one of the most exhausting fornights of my life, mentally and pyhsically.  It all started two sunday’s ago and has not eased up much since.  My partner and I had a huge argument on that day, which,  stupidly ended up with the laptop being thrown across the rom, by him, not me and I have had no internet access ever since.  To anyone who knows me, you may had well of cut my right arm off.  My life is run via the net and I have been completely lost.  I have had very limited access to my bank and facebook via my daughter’s i phone, but for a hardened user like me, this is really not enough. I put in a claim on my house insurance and hopefully my new laptop will be delivered tomorrow. Continue reading “Life huh?”
