And thngs are getting good - London 2012 opening ceremony is absolutely brilliant


You may or may not have noticed but I have been marginally introspective and down in my last couple of posts.

It happens.

When my road encounters a major fork and I have to decide which direction to take; knowing that there is no return once I pass the junction, I do get a bit fragile.

I can’t help it.

Waiting on major decisions from others, while trying to work out if your own choice is the right one, weighs heavily in my heart. When my future is flapping in the wind directionless my emotions get caught up in the hurricane.

It’s just the way I am.

However.

Happily.

I can report that honesty does indeed do you credit in a job interview and, now that I have finally accepted their offer, my route is once again set.

Right or wrong. Good or bad.

The decisions were made and I can now push forward to make something of them.
I know where I am going; the coordinates are set into the satnav.

All I have to do now.

Is drive.


Oh and also show you these pics….

When things go right for me – they really do go right.

Rock on Britain.  The London 2012 Opening Ceremony is unbelievably good. I went to he dress rehearsal on Wednesday night and it took my breath way. It truly was about an hour before I could close my mouth - it is unbelievably good - utterly stunning.

This is Britain doing what it absolutely does best,

GO TEAM GB – What a country.

My wife, daughter and I will be sitting in front of our television watching the opening ceremony.We can't wait!

Oh, by the way, on behalf of all Americans with an IQ at least over 100 I humbly apologize for that utter moron Mitt Romney. I know this is an awkward request but please pray for us Americans and that Mitt loses the November election.

Congrats on the new job. And yeah, what Beach Bum said. Just ignore Romney. We all do.

Congratulations on the new job. I hope it is all you want it to be. Friends were at the opening ceremony last night so looking forward to seeing their photos, and hearing their opinion tonight. Someone really should stop Paul McCartney from singing ever again, and of all the Beatles songs, that has to be one of the worst . ( in my humble opinion!!) Most of it was fabulous though..especially the lighting of the "beacon" and the cyclists with wings.

Well Glen, I am really happy to hear that you got the job - Congratulations matey! Maybe you shouldn't doubt yourself too much.

But hell, you got tickets to see the Olympic ceremony. You lucky git! Life is indeed on the up for you ..... grab it whilst you can ;-)

Congrats on the new job (can you tell us what it is....?)

I managed to watch the Olympic opening ceremony in bits (came in half-way through) and though I have absolutely no interest in the games themselves, this was a stunning display - I expect to be there and see it would be breathtaking!

As for ignoring Mitt Romney - done deal; however, less easy to apply the same attitude to Lord Coe and his LOCOG cohorts and the wave of paranoid sponsorship bully-boys.
:-(

And we can all hope and pray that Macca calls it a day and doesn't feature in the closing ceremony!

(any btw - the Cultural Olympiad is underway - try this !
