This morning when leaving the house I met my new neighbours.

They’re not very talkative, and they smell a bit funny too. Still, it’s nice to have company.

I watched Clerks 2 tonight. Haven’t seen it before but it was ace and even better than expected

Inspiration can come to us in all manner of forms, any time any place. It’s funny, but I wasn’t expecting to get any deep inspiration from this movie. But one thing that stood out for me - when Dante and Randall are arguing (after getting locked up in jail) Randall accuses Dante of just being like a sheep, following the rest of the herd and doing what everyone expects him to do, i.e. not thinking for himself and making those big decisions. How true this can be.

It’s so easy for us to keep our head’s down and carry on doing the same thing, going with the flow and infrequently reviewing our position - just like sheep. And choosing to pass over issues or problems and pretend (or even subconsciously train our minds to ignore) that they don’t mean anything… Like living in a place you don’t really want to be in, or doing a job you know isn’t right for you, or leading a lifestyle that you know is bad for you… There’s always a choice. It just takes guts, sweat (and possibly tears) to make it right.

So when’s it going to happen…
