Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a common theme in different areas of my life at the moment. I think I first really noticed it last week, but it was something I&#8217;ve been expecting for a while actually. So while I don&#8217;t really think that using a Radiohead lyric to title my post the other day foreshadowed this thought so much as defined it.<\/p>\n<p>there&#8217;s a gap where we meet \/ where i end and you begin<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; memento mori<br \/>\n&#8211; I hope the weather is good tomorrow, I would enjoy another day like today.<br \/>\n&#8211; Oh it turns out a day I had booked off work is actually a bank holiday, so I don&#8217;t need to use a holiday up.<br \/>\n&#8211; I have no idea what to do about an actual holiday for this year. Not sure it will happen at all.<br \/>\n&#8211; Age is so much more than just a number.<br \/>\n&#8211; I know suspect I misheard or was lied to. I think either are possible.<br \/>\n&#8211; Parts of Battersea park have just reopened after being done up. They looked nice, I shall have to have a better look.<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8220;friend cull&#8221; is a concept that comes back to me every now and again that while I don&#8217;t understand, I do&#8230;just a little.<br \/>\n&#8211; I have no idea what to say to people I don&#8217;t know. I hate it. I really hate it.<br \/>\n&#8211; computer is still fucked. I think I shall give it one more try again and then just give up and live without sound if I have to.<\/p>\n<p>I eagerly await the day where I can just think something and the essence of the thought will appear on screen and as you read it, you fully grasp my meaning and intent. I just can&#8217;t place into words what I&#8217;m thinking. I wish I could, then it might make a little more sense to me. Or perhaps it already makes too much sense to me. Damn you brain.<\/p>\n<p>Lots going in here recently. It&#8217;s kinda strange I&#8217;ve been talking to a friend tonight and as it&#8217;s going on 2:30am she has been reminding me that I should be going sleeping. But I don&#8217;t want to, aside from not being sleepy (although that is changing by the second) I have an urge to type here and then once that is done I can go and sleep.<\/p>\n<p>I did note with a lot of interest today that <i>Donnie Darko<\/i> is showing in Fulham Warner Village on Monday evening. I do really want to see it again and I might see if I can round up any of the troops and go see it. <\/p>\n<p>Guess it&#8217;s sleep time now. Going to sleep in late in the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But as always, a blunt soldier, in the 3 ID (infantry division) said it best on Thursday when asked what he thought about the Iraqis tactics in response to U.S. methods, \u201cWell we have all the firepower, technology and airpower,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I cannot blame them for fighting this way, they have to find a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/2003\/04\/06\/sit-down-stand-up\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;sit down, stand up&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3550\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davebushe.net\/words\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
