10 mins for the ether

As I sit and begin to tap on this white, stain riddled keyboard, my brain is overloaded with different thoughts. My trouble is setting a specific direction and sticking to it. For example, right now i'm trying to focus on one subject and blog about that only. Then another thought enters my head - isn't that what makes us human? Apart from our 'God given' self awareness, is it not the fact that we have such random parameters in how we behave a sign that we are truly a remarkable species? Even thinking about this amazes me and fills me with nothing but hope for the human race. I think we can curse ourselves to oblivion and say how bad a species we are, predict our demise and doom, but in actual fact, we may have a new beginning shortly.

Okay if you have read that first paragraph, thank you so much! And secondly I apologise for its messiness!

Over the last 2 years or so, a good friend of mine introduced me to a new way of thinking about numerous topics such as religion, origins and spirituality. Now this was just a suggestion, there was no push, pressure or anything that you'd associate,say, with a religious organisation for example. It was just a general chat about what his thinking was on certain subjects. Subjects that I always wondered about but never spoke to anyone about. This opened my eyes and I wanted to find out more and more.

Some of the topics we discussed were:

• Who made us? Were we a genetically altered species made by extra terrestrials?
• Are the teachings of the bible literally 'gospel'?
• The 2012 phenomenon and ancient cultures.
• The spiritual being and the inner god
• General human elevation and realisation of our being and being free
• Corrupt world organisations and the forgotten human existence

I would consider myself an open minded individual, however it seemed like it was a subliminal block that prevented me from entertaining these great ideas. Being Catholic, as most Catholics, the feeling of guilt is a major setback into being free in body and spirit. Lately, I have tried as much as possible to heighten my awareness to the world around me, become more compassionate and understanding and try to let go of any presumptions or misconceptions that cloud my mind.

To finish, the above is just an opener as to where some of my writings might go. Again, if you have taken the time to read this or anything I write I am extremely grateful.

Many thanks

Lets start thinking

Okay, it's time for me to start getting some words to paper... or in this case electronic pen to electronic paper. I have a lot of thoughts which meander away onto the ether without note. I'd rather they have a permanent home on the internet than be unused no matter how crap they may seem. So this will be the landing pad for them all. If you follow, hopefully one of my meanderings will be entertaining / informative / witty or wtf. Thanking you in advance. LG

New Drink Friday: Fullers Organic Honey Dew Beer

This Friday, its Fullers Organic Honey Dew Beer. I like the fact it's organic, thats a plus. Second, I love honey, so I had high hopes - and it delivered. A very nice honey taste with a full body. Not too heavy either. There is a good bit of drinking in it too, so again like most of these specialist beers and ales, they could do damage! At €3.99 however, I'd have to get a second mortgage to afford a few.

New Drink Friday: Banana Bread Beer

Back to business, and back to the off licence. This week its Banana Bread Beer from Wells Brewers. I know banana bread in a beer doesn't sound that nice, but it's actually not that bad. But the novelty of tasting banana wears off as you get to the half way mark and it gets a bit dull. The beer texture is smooth with a quite acidic taste to the sides of the tongue. A 3.5/5 for me I think. Nice bottle design though, which is a plus! I couldn't imagine drinking a lot of these, very like Young's double chocolate beer in that respect.
