And Johnny was born. Weight: 7 Pounds. Skin: White. Eye Colour: Hazel.
A few hours before, Johnny had been struggling inside. Not struggling in the womb, but struggling for a purchase. Johnny was on the marketplace, looking for a seller. He had 73 good deeds, but also quite a few bad ones.
Deeds, as we know, weigh themselves out. In the end he had 5 leverage deeds… Karma. Usually new bodies cost 9 to 10 karma points, so he wasn’t able to purchase a good one.
Robert Davis was about to be a father. He was waiting aside his wife, Johanna, in Carlisle Hospital after 3 hours of intense labour. Johanna was really tense, shock in her face, red eyed, screaming.
Johnny made a decision. He chose a new body, Albert Davis. Albert was going to die in a car crash at 29, however, was going to live an enjoyable stress-free life until then. He was going to have all 4 limbs, a good looking head, blond hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful mother.
Because of Albert’s short life span, the price was only 5 quid so Johnny went for it. And so Albert was born, unknowledgeable, fearful, memories leaving him in exchange of a new life, a new chance.

A lot of stuff went on this week. Over 100 photos. I’m sharing 5 of them today, but you can always go to my Flickr Photostream (link on the right sidebar) to check out some of my other photos from this week.
Sunset in Cumbernauld at the start of the week. Impressive sunsets around the region as of lately.
I love how the camera captures the motion of the drops of water from the fountain.
This scene reminded me so much of a photo from a jigsaw puzzle that I really had to give it the same name. Honestly, out of this world… almost seems unreal.
Same fountain as previously mentioned. This statue is on the east side of it.
We saw a few squirrels on our day out in a park on the west of the city centre in Glasgow. They really let us get quite close to them, it was rather fun.

I haven’t been to the movies in about 7 or 8 months… at least. So I was a little bit inclined to view this film that everyone seems to be talking about. It didn’t happen with Avatar (which I still haven’t seen) but for some reason I did feel the urge to see this movie.
I must say I feel favourable about it. It was a good film, however, I do feel inclined to specify my view about it. It was fast paced, a few things seemed to run by too fast without sufficient explanation… Almost seeming rushed.
Non-withstanding I did enjoy the film, and for it being the first film I watch at the cinema in over 7 months it was very worthwhile. So if you are thinking in going to see it, I would recommend it. Just remember to tell me what you thought about it.

I think Glasgow looks a bit like San Fransisco in some areas. Specially near this area at the north of the City Centre, just under the M8. In the picture we can see Sauchiehall St. taken from Renfrew St. There is quite a slope, and it was a lot more elevated in some other areas (45º). I have never been to San Fransisco, but it must be beautiful. Troy Holden from the Caliber Group and Thomas Hawk really do an excellent job photographing SF.
So it snowed again, just a few days ago. Everything was covered in white again, and I also caught a really bad cold while running to catch the bus to work through a blizzard. Fortunately the snow has cleared in the city, but while on the bus and train outside town I have seen some pretty impressive scenery.
I was cold as hell in this picture. I don’t generally post pictures however I think the expression in my eyes gives away the whole context of the situation. It’s hard sometimes being at sub zero for 40+ minutes waiting for the bus.

I push and pull and push and pull, I must look like a fool,
I push and pull and push and pull, like when I was at school.
With all the lines I’ve made in life, and all the time I’ve sacrificed;
I push and pull and push and pull a lifetime like a mule.
