Today I caught myself bellowing with laughter at the news on T.V , there is no reality anymore . It hit me quite gently that each subject has so many contradictions and information and mis-information and views from people with agendas on either side who are all good and accomplished liers , that what ever is represented as worthy of my attention by my T.V can not be deemed judgable as this total analysis leads to no absolute truth , nor even anything close . It was not always like this .
The very act of claim and counter claim muddies the water and believe me 24hour news channels wallow in this murkiness often creating their own little minute by hour reality's that evaporate in an instant as facts change .
This week several reporters made quite childish analogies regarding politics complete with babyish actions and sounds you would expect in a play ground .Strange indeed . I couldn't believe my eyes . This is cutting edge . This is something new evolving right now . Keep an eye out for it on your news . Where it goes is any ones guess ...v

Tipping Point
I found myself reading a rough diary Ive kept these last few years and ive tried to pinpoint the exact time that the tide turned for the final time . It was fast , sudden and total . It gave no warning . Im more tired than I think .Ive no energy at all today . Im physically drained but mentally happier , maybe my body is playing catch up . Reading all the events makes me realise I have a wealth of material and maybe one day a book may appear to be released shortly before I expire . That's the catch though...

Im probably the only one who finds this interesting .
A while ago I wrote about Mr Ive got two Mercedes and both have triple six number plates ! Well over the Christmas period I noticed one of the cars lost its 666 plate and had been returned to a standard plate ( Well it was I suggested a bit of an overkill having two ) I mean why would you ? A bit crass by any standards . Well today as I drove past the missing triple 6 plate has made a return , so he now has two 666 plates again . Where did the plate go ? Did he sell and then re buy it again ? Was it taken off over Christmas ....to avoid embarrassing family ? Who knows , its once again a mystery . I guess he must have method in his madness .

The Last Temptation of Christ
For years ive wanted to watch The Last Temptation of Christ . I remember .well the uproar this film caused at the time , mainly due to the fact that it supposedly suggested that Jesus was not risen from the dead but did a runner with Mary Magdelane and raised a family that was eventually his " heaven on earth " . Quite shocking ? Well yes this was suggested , but only as a " dream " sequence as Jesus was on the cross . In his dream Jesus is a mortal man who inspired a legend we now base Christianity on . He trys to debase this legend as its a lie , but his angry disciples rebuke him as the false story is bringing people to God through a belief in Jesus and the miracle of his " resurrection " . Is a false idea justifiable if it brings people to new outlooks or realms ? Does the end justify the means if the end is life changing ?Finally this dream sequence fades as Jesus regrets his fantasised release from death on the cross and he is returned on to it , and the rest as they say is history . This scene I think is a dream , though I also could not argue against it being a suggestion of the truth even if it is quickly sold out and the ending the Bible tells us , the one we were brought up on is finally suggested as the truth . In that respect it pleases no one . A bit of a fudge ? But I guess thats the point . We make up our own minds .
It is a good film and I recommend it . The stages of Jesus's life are quite well done while sticking to the facts . One thing that did annoy me was the whole film had a look of a traditional Bible type film . You know that certain cartoonish look or stereotyped desert look . A more contemporary look and a more gritty look would have helped . On this point whoever cast Harvey Keitel as a crimped , red haired Judas wants shooting . His character was spot on with his demanding voice , but that red hair style looked just ridiculous and straight out of a child's Bible story book . Why was this done ? Martin Scorsese must have realised this surely . Its seems deliberate to me . Apart from that , a film I suggest you watch . As with many controversial films , until you watch them you CANNOT comment on them !
One final thought : I was reminded of the fact that Old Testament Jews were very keen on stoning to death unclean women . Something today we forget and tend to relate only to Islam . Of course I realise Jews long ago gave up this practice ( unlike some Islamic peoples today ) . Did Jews get the idea from Islam or vice versa ?

From down here it looks like a steep incline , from up here another down hill slope of mine
January . I'm re-gaining some enthusiasm for work and starting to think quite forwardly now . When I awake in the morning I find myself looking out of the bedroom window not feeling negative or as tired as I was . My judgement is improving and I have removed several things I put on fb in a daft mood . My mind is sharper than it was but looking back to my posts before Christmas I see Ive lost a certain edge and darkness in the way I write . This alarms me as I can clearly see I was in touch with something then that I am not now . Something dark brings out another side of me at that time of year . A more colourful or charismatic me ? Maybe I'm just mellowing after all is now finished in a past chapter Ive lived . Maybe its the changing light . As Ive said before I know their are two sides to me , but don't worry though , If I didn't realise this then It would be altogether more worrying !
