About Me

What can i say,love to travel (as long as i can arrange a dog sitter!) but just don't feel as if i do it often enough.I've got a strange affinity with Catalonia but have never been there,hmmm!Love cooking tasty vegan food especially if i've got someone to cook for.Can't be bothered with folk who are indifferent to the suffering in the world,be it to people OR animals,maybe i take it to heart too much.Vain people make me laugh but each to their own i suppose,selfish people just annoy me.I really dont like clowns and hate touching cotton wool.I wish for things that are impossible,such is the nature of life,I wish Scotland would win the world cup,i wish my granny was still alive,i wish Shyto was smarter,lol,i wish i hadn't listened to Crass when i was 12-i'd be a millionaire by now on a yacht in the med,i wish some days would last for ever(but i'm glad some don't) !Above all keep a sense of humour,we just have one life,enjoy it! Work in progress here! ............................................................ ........There are no set anarchist principles, no libertarian creed to which we must all swear allegiance. Anarchism is a movement that tries to identify organisations exerting authority and domination, to ask them to justify their actions and, if they are unable to do so, as often happens, to try to supersede them.People do not want—or often are not able—to perceive that we are conforming to external authority.We feel ourselves to be very free—and indeed we are—as long as we conform..................................................... .........................................................".. . "Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth…that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have dreamt would have come his way." — W.H. Murray
