If people made the right fucking decisions, the world would not only seem better, it would be better. Less car crashes, less time wasted, less unemployment, less abortions, less suicides, less disasters, less stupidity.

• Action-reaction: you decide to marry the wrong person, you have a child, you divorce, the child grows up. The child either becomes l/g/b/t, kills someone, becomes a criminal, commits suicide, or in a few cases, lives a “normal” life.
• Action-reaction: you are skilled in arts but pursue a career in finance to become an investment banker, your ego outshines your skill, you make bad choices, the market collapses, you lose everything, you kill yourself.
• Action-reaction: you are bullied in school, you feel you are being bullied for life, you feel so much better than the rest inside, you feel powerful, you take a gun, you go to school, you shoot everybody.

It’s not hard to make the right decisions, just think before you act, measure your options, make the best choice.

When it doesn’t work out, you know you tried your best, and it will probably turn out better next time.

If you lose your money, break your mobile, crash your parents car, befriend the wrong person… think, measure, then act… Next time. Tomorrow never comes when tomorrow is all you wait for. Today is the only time, this moment.

Lets stop acting like mindless fools and get our act together, lets make the right fucking decisions, for the sake of humanity.

Hora de Ir: A song in DADGAD tuning.

The answer to this time: An improvisation in DADGAD tuning.

To reach out: A “more proper” song, also in DADGAD tuning… man, I’m loving that tuning.

It was an interesting one. I have started working part-time from home, only going to the office on Fridays, and it has changed my perspective on many things. Now instead of taking the bus I take the train to a railway station nearby and I cycle the rest of the way to work (20 minutes to the office, 30 minutes back) which is quite a good exercise and I get to see very nice places.

Unfortunately I got lost last Friday and ended up in the village of Croy instead of Croy Railway Station (20 minute detour) but I found this magnificent bridge:

So I finally found the right way and it happens to pass next to a beautiful loch near Westfield, Cumbernauld. I just love the scenery:

Anyway, hopefully you’ve also had a great week and lets hope this one is even better!

So I moved to Edinburgh a week ago, and one of the first things I did was take a stroll through Princes Street all the way to St. Andrew’s square. This is a picture of the castle taken from Princes Street.

A few days ago we had the Edinburgh Fireworks as a close to the Festival… beautiful. A camera can never capture the full glory of fireworks, but I’m posting this picture anyway as a memory.

I climbed Holyrood yesterday with my best mate. 1 hour cycling to/from my house, and 2 hours to reach the top and get back down again… Good exercise!

So that’s all for this week… cheerio!

So, at the start of a couple of weeks ago we enjoyed a few days of great weather:

Followed by mad rains, which quickly vanished as the next photo describes.

The road outside the office has been under repair for a week now. Today I had to run under the rain for 20 minutes, without much hope of finding a bus as they had been re-routed. Fortunately one stopped for me, in the middle of the street. I think he had a bit of compassion for a drenched soul wandering the highway. This picture was taken near the office last week.

I went travelling this weekend to Edinburgh for a fun time and a look around. Before I left I passed this chippie. I’ve never actually been there, but I’ve taken many photos of it, hoping some day I get the chance to visit it.

Clouds covered most of this week, breaking up and letting the sun shine through until the weekend. I had a great week though, low on stress, low on carbs, high on excercise, just what I needed! How was your week?

Saw this festival going on at George Square while on the bus… Something related with gay pride or something I guess.

This is a wee picture I took a few days ago after finding a set of red pens curiously positioned on the floor. Strangely enough right as I took the photograph a red car was passing by. A chance of prediction for Spain’s victory maybe?
