The Positive Should be Known ...

I went to St. Anne's cathedral yesterday afternoon, to a service of peace. This was the Dalai Lama's final engagement to Northern Ireland before returning home to India. It was an amazingly positive experience. There were prayers read by members of the Christian, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim faiths. It was a truly multi-faith event and it was happening right in the middle of Belfast!

Of course the speech given by the Dalai Lama was both moving and humourous and the event ended with a 10 minute silent meditation. Although people were not sure how to approach this period of reflection I noted that near the end of the allotted time - everyone had there eyes closed and were praying or meditating for peace. It was a deeply moving experience.

It annoyed me that it wasn't even mentioned on BBC Newsline that day... They were all too busy telling us about how the new council structures had the potential to divide the community even more than it is today... Again the negative to the exclusion of the positive...

The positive sides to Northern Ireland need to be given more exposure!

Story Telling on BBC Radio...


Its been a while since my last blog (feels a little like a confession!!). I've been busy and the most interesting news is this. I have had a story accepted on the my story project , on BBC Radio Ulster.

This involves me going into the BBC studios to record myself reading my little piece. I don't know when it is going to be broadcast at this point but sure its all a bit of fun!

Have a great weekend!

Whats it all about then?



Well back to the drudgery err I mean challenges of work after a welcome break.

I often wonder about the world's major religions. I mean if I were born in Pakistan I would most probably be Muslim. I would think that the way of Islam is the ONLY way to reach God. If I were born in India I'd be Hindu, in Tibet - I'd be a Budhist, in Israel - a Jew and in Texas a born again Christian. In each case the dogma would tell me that their belief system is the one correct way e.g. the only path to salvation is through Jesus Christ.

Being from Northern Ireland, I have seen how divisive religion can be and that is just within Christianity! The way I see it is that each of the afore mentioned paths teach compassion,patience and tolerance for others and the detachment from worldly posessions. It reminds me of this description of the world's religions

A blind person who touches a small part of an elephant (e.g. the ear, the tail, or the foot) experiences a very different piece of the elephant than a person who touches a different piece. Theyre are all touching the same elephant but experiencing different parts of it. The same holds for world religions as different ways of experiencing the transcendent.

Hipster PDA


I am not a Luddite. I am a person who wants to be a bit more organised but without all the fiddling and expense. So in the interests of productivity I came across the Hipster PDA.

With tongue firmly placed in cheek - this idea seems to have a caught on and thus on a rainy evening I created my own (as shown in glorious technocolour).

So far I like it. Its a no hassle easy way to stay on top of things and I even made my own plastic all weather cover for it that even has enough room for a pen or pencil. Its also great for holding important bits of paper e.g. a prescription.

So there ya go! My Hipster PDA!

37 days....



I stumbled across this blog. I think its worth checking out.

The question asked is - if you had 37 days to live what would you do? The explanation is touching and poignant.

I think, we loose our way in life. We get caught up in the everyday ordinariness of it all and loose perspective. We sweat the small stuff and forget what is important in life.

The Ship's Wheel



Where have our thoughts been?
Where are they going to?
Have you ever really thought?
Do they ever come back to you?

The calm of the storm comes.
When dream's empty vessel does sail.
When the mind's carrier fills.
The thoughts do scream and wail.

So empty your head!
Of dreams and questions all.
Please empty your head!
For you surely will fall.

Then it all comes back.
Back to the start again.
Back to the sorrow and guilt.
Back to the sorrow and pain.

Then the strength comes.
It arrives in force.
Feel the strength come.
Let it run its course.

Let the wheel spin.
Never look back.
Let the wheel spin.
The love will never lack.

You'll grow in pain.
You'll change and flow.
Let the wheel spin.
And time will show.

Let the wheel spin.
Never let go of pain.
Let the wheel spin.
Less you'll return again.

Its in the trees! Its coming!

Just heard Kate Bush's new single on the Ken Bruce show on BBC Radio 2. It was excellent. Hope her new album is as good. Its a shame she went into hiding for the past twelve years. We've all gotten older. I'm in my 30s now and she is 47! Ahh all our heroes are getting older. Its the inevitable march of time. Moby just turned 40 for example.

Oh well... 49 is supposed to be the new middle age. I like to think of myself as in middle youth ... Anyway - I don't like labels... I do like ladles though and especially when they are serving French onion soup. Yummers!!!...

Why do we do it to ourselves?

We stay up late when we are tired. We skip meals when we are hungry. We work when we should rest. We are intolerant when we should be patient. We eat sweets when we should eat fruit. We drink beer when we should drink water. We breath in smoke when we should breath in air. We cause conflict instead of peace. We write blogs when we are supposed to work....

Why cant we be more like cats?

Goals!


The most important thing you can do for yourself is define YOUR goals.

We are all different people with differing priorities and wishes. Stephen Covey talks a lot about this. Begin with the End in Mind - a chapter in 7 habits of Highly Effective People - is about setting long-term goals based on "true-north principles". Covey recommends to formulate a "personal mission statement" to document one's perception of one's own purpose in life. He sees visualization as an important tool to develop this. He also deals with organizational mission statements, which he claims to be more effective if developed and supported by all members of an organization, rather than being prescribed.

I have found if you do not have a clear goal in mind there are plenty of people out there quite willing to tell you what it should be.

To that end here is an interesting article about personal mission statements.

Interesting ...


Controversial film-maker Michael Moore is planning to make a hard-hitting documentary based on Us President George W. Bush's handling of the Hurricane Katrina rescue operation. Moore grabbed international acclaim with his scathing 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11, which studied Bush's handling of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Oscar winner is now "seriously considering" documenting the catastrophe in America's Gulf Coast region. He tells the New York Daily News, "There is much to be said and done about the man-made annihilation of New Orleans, caused not by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years. Do not listen to anyone who says we can discuss all this later. No, we can't. Our country is in an immediate state of vulnerability. More hurricanes, wars, and other disasters are on the way, and a lazy bunch of self-satisfied lunatics are still running the show."

A String of Foxes....


Hi all..
Well we're all back, safe and sound in Norn Iron after a weekend in Yorkshire. My brother is now a married man and there's another lady out there with a surname of Galbraith. It was a really nice weekend and congrats to David and Jen again...

Its funny. For being so close to England one could really see the difference in the cultures between here and there. One question one could raise is why do you have to wear whites when playing cricket on a Sunday afternoon in Leeds? Would a track suit not do?

And there are only a certain few out there that know what a "String of foxes" refers to.

I'll leave you on this note. Visit York .. its rather nice ....

Thank God! We have some good news ...



The Air France Flight accident in Toronto was a welcome piece of good news. Of course it is terrible that it crashed and when I first heard what happened I thought "Thats it! Everyone has been killed!" but nope in reality everyone survived! I'd be interested in hearing more of what happened but I am sure the crew must deserve medals for getting everyone evacuated... And thank God they all survived and thank God for some good news...

Gaming but not too much ...

Life is all about everything in moderation. Too much of one thing can lead to imbalance or even an obsession.

I have just bought a nintendo DS with some Amazon vouchers I was given. I hope that it will be a fun thing to have but I don't want to use it too much.. I still like to "get out" after being stuck in the office all day.... So like I say ..Maybe I'll game on the bus but perhaps I wont game on the loo as someone suggested...

Norn Iron -- A lot going for it...

After an absence of 10 years I have returned to Northern Ireland. Its funny. People have said to me .. "Why did you come back??" not because they didn't want to see me but rather they seem to think NIreland isn't a great place to live as compared to other places. I have to say Northern Ireland has a lot going for it and I think its a case of the grass is always greener when looking at other countries - every country has its positive and negative sides.... Anyway I think the people here are great and its good to be back .. so far :-)

Space is BIG and so is Ireland!

Having just spent the week driving from Galway -> Shrigley, Co. Down (Via Mullingar & Navan) -> Galway (via Sligo) -> Kilbarron, County Tipp. (via offaly as the bridge at Portumna was under repair) -> Cork city -> Ballycotty (East Cork) -> Galway (via Limerick and Shannon) - I have come to a some conclusions.

1) Its really really tiring to drive so much.

2) Ireland is not quite as small as people would lead you to believe. Although these people are mostly not from Ireland.

It was nice to see my family again although all too briefly... I am now crashed out on the sofa in Galway with a sleeping cat beside me... Just watched Dr. Who - Dalek .. very good sometime childish sometimes not (I guess that makes it for all the family)!

Ive seen Constantine ... Not great ... not terrible... Looking forward to seeing the other ones I mentioned in a previous post (Im not using any hypertext in this post as I feel lazy..)

Future home projects will be :

BONSAI (I have maple seeds!)

Wine making (Will have a bash at some sort of berry wine)

Tag Rugby???!!! :-/

And purchasing a Volvo S40 ...


Bye for now..

There be Geek Movies!

Hi ...

Why do they bring out good movies in the Summer? Does it not make more sense for the movies to come out in the Winter - when everyone is hiding from the horrible weather?

I just dont get it....

Anyway coming soon to a movie house near you we have the following geek movies (in no particular order):


I have yet to see Constantine but it got a bit of a mixed review...



Right dishes need to be done and a hoover needs to be pushed round a bit... ahh the wonder of cat hairs..
