First of all, I ask you who are reading to forgive me for the delay in updating. Its shocking to see how quick a week passes by without too much notice. I have already said that Sylo has granted me less time to myself, so its difficult to jam everything in, so my time management will need to be ammended in due time!
I had the most strangest dream last night...My 'idol' (I dont tend to idolise anyone though really) Dave McPherson was apparent in my dream a LOT. I remember briefly talking to him on msn, and I remember being at his house, or at least a house he had to use for this party. I remember other fans and I think some of my friends were there too. I remember there being a lot of chaos, but alas, I cannot remember what exactly happened, which is a shame. Its the first time Ive dreamt about someone famous. I still remember meeting Dave back in January...that was such an epic moment in my life, sounds sad I know. I'll blog about it another day. This is just in relation to my blog title.
Its quite strange actually...In my dreams, I never really dream too far beyond reality. Its grounded but with a hint of distortion. Such as real people and places...but with scenarios that would, or could never happen. Yet as I walk this earth with my eyes open and conscious clear, I am constantly dreaming of a utopian world that not just me, but I believe the whole world desires. I dont really have many selfish needs, especially since my project has started, Ive given up a lot of greed and other sins. Things such as an end to war, war is a product of political advancement anyway, so it doesnt make a lot of sense. Famine, starvation, homelessness...all these need to be fixed. I find it difficult to think of an ideal selfish object or ideal that I could possess in my utopian world. So I believe I hold a view that many share also.
Do any of you reading this feel this way? Dont be afraid to question it, the gain is to understand more about yourself. I just find it interesting how I dream about reality, but in reality I dream.
I'd like to talk about something which I have found very frustrating during my two weeks of project Sylo...I am very shocked at how expensive 'good' food is. Going round multiple shops and supermarkets, the rising cost of food is almost extortionate. I just could not believe how expensive food has become. Tuna is especially pricey, its like just over £1 for a can, of the good tuna, not supermarkets own brand, urgh. I wouldnt be too bothered, but I used to use tuna in my diet for the protein. But now I am finding many good foods that are full of protein, taste nicer and are a little bit cheaper :P
I couldnt believe I spent money on chocolate, fizzy drinks, well mainly relentless, which is very pricey. Sure, I cant treat myself once in a while. But since starting this project, my thoughts conflict a lot more with my old habits now. I am adapting to this new change subconsciously, which must be a good thing, as I am essentially reprogramming myself, which apparently takes a lot of willpower and courage. The more I see how expensive things have become, the more shrewed with my money I am, and I think about what good this food I put in my body will do. Ive explained in my past entries how it makes a difference what I eat and how good I feel because of it all. I do hope Im not rambling....and my point has been delivered in this paragraph.
Im hoping that when you great people read my blog entries, you take away some information and think about it. One of my dreams in life is to be able to help people any way I can. There is very little selfish motivation for this blog. I could quite easily just type it up in word and keep it for me to read when Im an old man. But I like to think that someone will benefit from the words I type here.
Also, I'd just like to say that because I am making major changes to my life right now, I dont look down with prejudice upon others around me for not making the same improvements on their life. I believe in free will and the ability to chase dreams or live realistically. Whatever your motivation or satisfactions, I will respect and perhaps encourage it (although I obviously dont advocate illegal activities or such!)
I am ashamed that this is my first blog of March. I have been procrastinating fairly frequently this month, I'll admit....Breaking a few key Sylo rules and suchlike. I am hoping that this is a one off. I have just faltered this week. My emotions and strengths have been tested by those willing to see it so. But, I will always do my best to hold strong, no matter what. Im not sure if you have noticed...but at the top of my blog home page, under my blog name, is a line from a great song. Which is what I'll leave with you with tonight. Think about it...Im sure it will apply to you all.
Goodnight you lovely, awesome smexy people :)

Nice post, some interesting points, My dreams tend to be very ridiculous, and very unrealistic dreams tell us a lot about our current subconscious, so its worth noting interesting dreams.
ReplyDeleteGood food CAN be cheap, if you plan ahead and buy in bulk and working out the savings, this will require some thinking ahead.
I agree, one should not look down upon those that are not making changes, however I feel its my duty to try educating those that would change if given the knowledge.
I have multiple success stories of people I've motivated to get out of their job they disliked, lose weight and pass university with flying colours, enhancing their lives and giving me the satisfaction of helping them on their way.
It's all about the education, School educates employees, life educates entrepreneurs.
Great post, keep it up.
