Man alive (that’s my new favourite phrase!!).
So I just finished watching todays episode of what has to be one of the best tv programmes in the world - ED.
The story is of a late 20 something lawyer who was jilted at the alter who returned to his small time suburban home called Stuckeyville. The programme documents the up and down relationship between Ed Stevens and local hotty teacher Carol Vessy.
So lately Carol got jilted at the alter by her hubby to be…whos name I can’t remember. But the thing that struck me about todays episode what the ending. It’s been going on for a long time…him chasing her and her turning his advances down. Deep down her not thinking that she is worthy of his out of place romantic gestures…So…women. What’s the score?
As a young gentleman…do I bother pursuing a female that I have taken a liking to by showing affection through gestures such as flowers, dinners etc etc.
I honestly don’t know. Because everything you do as a man pursuing a woman there has to be commitment behind the gesture doesn’t there? Is that the way it has always been? So if I wanted to just make a nice gesture to someone I do admittedly like by sending some flowers welcoming her into her new home…is that wrong?

So on other topics, I’ve been spending the last couple of days in Shrewsbury with my sister and have been trying to get a little bit of work done on my dissertation. I hopped on a train from Guildford to Reading to Wolverhampton then bus from Wolverhampton to here at Shrewsbury. And on the bus journey I was blessed enough to witness the sun poking through the clouds. It was one of those moments when you look out at the scenery and just wonder how people can think that this world was born out of sheer chance. I just happened to be listening to Sigur Ros - one of those bands that I told myself I would not get into because of the underground fuss that buzzed around them. But I tell you what. That music accompanied by scenes as beautiful as those I bore witness to is awesome. I was thinking…’when God made the earth I bet he had this album blasting out in the background’.
Israel and New Breed has been filling my head…phenominally phat worhsip sounds.
