Happy Anniversary to Me!

 

I couldn't let today go by without wishing 'Shark Fishing in Wales' Happy Anniversary! Despite being ignored by the Wales Blog Awards, despite getting only an average of 18 views per post I am still here or 'still by ere' as they say in Williamstown, Rhondda. It was way back on January 19th that the foetus became blog.
I was over in the Wellfield/Albany Road of Kairdiff today and trawled the Charity Shops for books. I went into five, the books' sections have become very small, testament perhaps to less people reading, but I finally found a good selection in the Kidney Society Shop which is two doors up from a 'Spiritual Shop' called Halcyon Daze. I mention this because you don't get many of these per square mile in this part of the country. I don't know abouts where you live? Glastonbury it ain't. I think the term used to describe them is a Mind, Body, Spirit shop  but the vibe I get from this one is lots of crystals and incense and posters advertising spiritual stuff.
Unbeknownst to me on my bike, the other side of the City, a white van driver was busy reversing into pedestrians.
Controversial I know, but having seen the eye witnesses on the BBC News website, I would say that he'd targetted the wrong people (Ouch!) But when you are a misanthrope you cannot but help entertain these thoughts and you have to admit that these events are becoming more common. Only earlier in the year, a Kairdiff Taxi Driver had mounted the kerb and ran down railway workers in orange overalls!
People are losing their minds and I feel that I am qualified to talk about this because I lost my mind in 2005, I lost it so badly that I was arrested and thrown into prison. After 4 months on remand I was declared 'Not Guilty due to Insanity'. Luckily this was in the Netherlands and not in UK PLC. I won't reveal my crime here as my other blog has been syndicated to Chipmunka Publishing and I am hoping that it will be published in an ebook and paperback.(but don't hold your breath) When I hear that somebody has lost their mind, I experience a certain 'frisson', the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! I wonder about the person and I wonder about the train of events that occurred to the person to lead them to their course of action. So maybe I wasn't so far off in my prophetic Blog Post of the 31st January.
I am actually amazed that more people don't become insane and lose it. It is quite literally a Human Zoo out there! What are we doing to each other? If we know that we are going to die, why do we make life so difficult for eachother?  
There is something in the air and in the water! The Energy has changed!
There will be more collective Insanity until something happens. That something will probably be on a global basis.
 Anyway on a purely selfish basis
 'Happy Anniversary to Me'.
