YUCK RANT

Okay to i used play bass in this band called yuck. Well before they got famous obviously and i was doing a lot of regretting and feeling bad about myself because all my dreams were shattered (playing awesome melodic punk rock as a bassist with my brother).  So anyway there has been a lot of confidence rebuilding in my life.  Id often say to myself 'this sucks' or 'i hate myself'.  So yeah anyway recently I was reading this book called 'the secret' and it was saying that you could create your reality with words so if you say 'i hate myself' over and over again it actually becomes true and you manifest hate to yourself.  Like for instance if your friend told you every day that they loved you you would feel love right? and you'd feel happy! Whereas if they said I hate you every day you might just start feeling bad.  ANyway i've been trying this out and being careful with my words and saying stuff like 'I LOVE MYSELF' 'EVERYTHING IS PERFECT' 'I LOVE THE WORLD' THE UNIVERSE LOVES ME' 'I AM HAPPY' etc. this is the tried an tested technique of positive affirmations.  I haven't got clear examples of this working but one day I was like I HAVE A MILLION POUNDS! and I ended up in this conversation with this dude who literally did have this million pound app for iphone.  Anyway I kind of stopped saying the million pounds thing the next day but maybe if i continued? :)
anyway it got me thinking
so yeah max bloom has this song on the new yuck album which is like 'I HATE MYSELF' and he repeats it quite a lot.  ANd its an awesome song.  And I bet loads of people will be like 'yeah thats so cool cos he's being so real and honest about stuff'.
But Im thinking if he keeps saying he hates himself he's just gonna get really depressed.  And this mantra is just gonna seep into everyones brains and make them feel depressed.
So this is a call to max and other things along these lines.
CHANGE THE LYRICS TO I LOVE MYSELF!
ps. I love your music and i love you

i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you

FOOD RANT

SO I have 2 say that i agree - even today i had some lion bars - because i was out of control and i felt like doing it - and thats fine - and thats something that i had to come to terms with - i don't know why though - why should i accept that I can't control myself from eating junk food - i mean my body IS a temple and it shouldn't be seen as otherwise - so why am i even in the predicament in the first place?
and thats it precisely - why are you in this food predicament in the first place? why are we navigating the food world like pirates in a thunderstorm - surely food should be easy - i mean the animals know what to eat - my dogs never lick my cup of tea when i offer it because they know not to drink boiling hot liquid (not sure about this example but lets just go with it)

heres an analogy story kind of thing - this photographer goes to the amazon and photographs this tribe.  the people in the tribe are healthy - very healthy (looking) like in avatar or something.  Then they are photographed every year - for a while - and certain changes start to develop in them, deformities, stunted growths etc. - they have been exposed to the western world to an extent - this has given rise to the changes.  before they were completely living from the forest, fresh herbs, fruit, vegetables, wild meat.  Then they get exposed to walmart, sainsburys, mcdonalds, cakes coca cola whatever and there bodies start to suffer a little which manifests as some (not normal looking) bodily things.

heres another story thing - so these lab rats are given heroine - and they are given heroine on tap.  In a small cage in a laboratory environment they stay hooked on the heroine taking more and more but then in an open environment IN NATURE with SPACE to be - they naturally start weening themselves off it.  SERIOUSLY - i didn't know rats could ween themselves

So yeah my point IS - check your vibe before you normalise your environment and accept the status quo - i mean think about this conversation i had recently

'hey saul'
'hey anonymous lady'
'what you up to?'
'yeah im working at greggs'
'ooo i love greggs!'

WTF - what is love? baby don't hurt me no more (i should have said) -
seriously
LOVE
for cakes and pastries
NO FUCKING WAY
not in my lifetime mate

it should have been like this (and I  did have a few of these so theres still hope)
'hey saul'
'hey anonymous lady'
'what you up to?
'yeah im working at greggs'
'shit that must be hard to avoid all the temptation'
'no because i know that my body is a fucking temple (tantric lol)'
'i love you'
'i love you too you are a beautiful manifestation of god'
'i know'
'lets hug'
BIG HUGS ALL ROUND

although although although
it DOES work with my logic that everything is love
and this is why maybe this girl was actually spot on
and that you should love everything
its just that it confuses me that love manifests as cakes and pasties
but maybe thats just because I was brought up as a jew
and they taught me that life on earth was like the garden of eden
where its just all beautiful colours, natural looking (cos everything is inherently natural) so i just think that greggs is not natural and this is my test which is to acknowledge that everything is just love even in my strange predicament with shit like greggs and hitler and monsanto (in lisbon and the evil american corporation) and my crazy mother and my anus and all this stuff
sorry
and really cute kittens.

so basically in a round about way id like to say
I LOVE YOU
and
I LOVE EVERYTHING
and
EVERYTHING IS PERFECT
and
WE ARE ALL LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

NASTURTIUMS!

I have been living in a permaculture fruit forest for 3 weeks now.  One of the great things about this place is there is alot of edible flowers
First edible flower
NASTURTIUMS or nose twister!?

i think these are called nose-twisters because their peppery taste makes you twist your nose.  This is not to say that they aren't fucking DELICIOUS. 
They look beautiful, they taste beautiful, tangy, peppery with a perfect burst of juiciness.
Healthy yes - high in vitamin c and a natural antibiotic.
Oh and you can eat the leaves - just read that - cool - ill have to have a try and get back to you on that one.
AMAZING as a companion plant w/ broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, kale, kohlrabi, pumpkins, radish, squash, tomato, and potato. 
They deter stripped pumpkin beetles and other pests of the Cabbage family.  Nasturtiums grown near squash are said to repel squash bugs.  They can be used as a trap crop for aphids. 

I love nasturtiums so much x 

My New Wing Mirror

MY NEW WING MIRROR

 

Just ordered this from ebay, its for the left side. 

Ive got the one for the right side but am not sure what happened to the one on the left.

I think someone stole it whilst i was parked.

I should have stolen one from someone else, but that would have continued the badness so this is the right thing to do.

KETCHUP SANDWICH

'is that carrot leaves?' I says to Guy
'yes thats carrot leaves' he replies
'oh cool! I was thinking of putting them in the salad, because they are edible you know, and more healthy than actual carrots because they contain less sugar and are more nutrient dense'
'where did you get this information'
'some book i was reading about green smoothies forwarded by louis.l.hay'
'ill have to look that up first because I don't trust the source'
WELL BOO YOU GUY! - i checked on the INTERNET and its true.

the next time i hear someone rant about food waste im gonna punch them in the face - blah blah blah greggs sausage rolls.  Yeah I've chucked away greggs sausage rolls.  I've thrown away loads of greggs sausage rolls.  THATS NOT FOOD WASTE - THATS NOT FOOD!
this IS food waste! this is the biggest outrage of modern day society - think about all these delicious leafy greens that have been thrown away as you munch on your vegetable pasty.
If I had a penny for every person who actually eats the greens from carrots i might just have enough money to buy 'KETCHUP SANDWICH' by jamie oliver.

ps. i love you
