News Flash 371 :)
Graffnoir
I'm sitting here with a headache which is nothing new and i remembered
to take one of those tablets before i left for my walk but i was
thinking how much i enjoyed today's walk. Please let me explain the
wonders of the day.......Oh wait......one more thing....i didn't leave
for the walk till later as i haven't slept much in the
last....ummmm.....Life time so today the body didn't let me have any
say in the matter and kept me in bed till 10:48 am. Yesterday i had
just under 1 hour and 25 minutes sleep but last night i was out cold
from 3 am till 9:30 am and then as i tried to get up i remember
blinking and it was suddenly 10:30 :-). By the time i was able to
focus it was 10:48am so i got up and got ready :). OK lets get on with
today's walk shall we :).
( Insert body controlled little pause here while i have a drink of my
most yummy hot mug of tea which i didn't have time for before i left
:) ).
I left for my walk at 11:04 and 31 seconds and walked up the road. I
passed the fish and chip shop where i didn't see anyone through the
clean windows as the sun was reflecting from them. I passed the
insurance place and the ladies were working merrily :) ( I don't want
to include that the lady at the front of the shop looked sweet as I'm
going to sound like an sex obsessive desperate chappy......i mean
being an obsessive chappy is ok as long as no one knows LOL ). I
passed the car park and then the bus stop where an older chappy and
two late teenaged ladies were waiting for the bus :). A brisk stroll
up the main road followed and this was the first part of a wonderful
walk. I felt the sun on my face and though its quite cold here the
heat was welcoming. I saw the sky and the cloud cover was beautiful. A
dappled effect that was ordered chaos with a hint of calming cover
that made me feel very safe. I touched the thoughts of memory and
found them not to be hostile as they can be on occasion but gentle and
peaceful. I carried on to the traffic lights being happy that i had
left at this time but the hedge on the side of the path facing the sun
gave a strobe like effect and made my head feel light. I passed the
traffic lights and then the bus stop and pub before walking down the
hill and up the steps.
( Insert a small pause here while i drink more of my yummy mug of tea
:) ).
( Insert a second pause here while i have a cigarette....i wont be
long :) ).
I walked around the first round about and then the second and after
passing the slip road challenge a kind person waved me across the road
and i walked up the hill to the gap :). As i crossed the road and
walked down the small road my head was thumping merrily and even
though this is painful it wasn't that saddening as i was feeling good
about the day. I did have a little scare when i saw an older lady
crossing the road in front of a white van who saw her thankfully and
slowed down an awful lot so they didn't hit her but it was a close
shave. I wondered if you get to a point in your life that safety no
longer bothers you and i wondered when this day would come for me as
I'm a very safe type chappy. I don't just look both ways when crossing
the road.......No not me....i look both ways and then both ways again
not to mention up and down and then left and right just in
case......well I'm not a fan of being run over and it makes sense to
be safe to me. I crossed the road and walked past the cemetery saying
hello to the residents and saluting twice before sending a special
hello to Simon. I wandered back to the first round about and up the
hill to the pub.
( Insert a small pause here while i make sure the computer is working
ok.......I don't want to make any mistakes and have to start my type
up again :) ).
Oh Am i happy i checked that.....my computer just crashed and it was
seconds after i saved my post :). Now that's good news. I think i was
doing a little too much on the system and it couldn't cope :). Anyway
lets continue shall we :).
I walked back to the traffic lights and then to the little old lady in
the window who was sleeping today and i thought that sounds like a
nice idea :). I wandered down the main road and through the shopping
area which was busy today but no one was getting in my way so it was a
calming experience :). I walked down the main road and didn't see a
soul.......nor did i see any bikes or cars of interest either :(. I
reached the first gap and thought the walks going to be dull to type
up for the second part if i don't see some thing fast :). I wandered
back up the other side of the road and walked through the second gap
as there was no point visiting Wayne's flat as no one was in ( I was
told they were all working or at school so there would be little point
visiting the front door :-). I wandered back up the main road all the
way to the shopping area and still i didn't see a soul but this didn't
matter as the first part of the walk was packed with interest for me
:). I strolled down my street and found myself happy that i had gone
out and enjoyed such a wonderful day :). 43 minutes of happiness in a
24 hour period.....worth every second :).. I hope you are all feeling
well and have enjoyed this weeks second walk :).
I was out for 43 minutes 48 seconds and 96 hundredths of a second :).
(((Mellow Squishes))) to you and all whom you Love :)

Your posts always makes GREAT reading, as usual. Filled with amazingly
clear/very highly detailed descriptions...; as well as, tremendous humour.
>>>
Yesterday i had
just under 1 hour and 25 minutes sleep
<<<
My advice is...make sure you get some MORE sleep!/;-)/At least, hours, is
'normal' for most of us. When I find I'm not getting enough sleep...; then,
hell, I start hallucinating, and, dreaming when I'm awake!/LOL/Well, at least,
it's funny when you are having good dreams whilst still being awake such as
'wet dreams'...; but, it's not so funny if say you are having 'nightmare'
dreams whilst still being awake!
And, believe me, I've had both. So, therefore, I try my damndest to get enough
sleep time in, for sure.
>>>
I'm
going to sound like an sex obsessive desperate chappy......i mean
being an obsessive chappy is ok as long as no one knows LOL
<<<
Yes, exactly, my own thoughts, too, on this matter. Ha!
I mean, whenever I write about my going out trips...; if I were to include all
of my thoughts about having seen various members of the opposite sex who deeply
appealed to me...and, describe everything totally obscene which was going on
through my head...then, I'm sure, people would think I must be writing for
Playboy magazine?! Thus, I tend to cut that part out either altogeather.../or
else, only included the fully censored parts, alone. Mind you, the loss is all
theirs!/Ha!
>>>
I felt the sun on my face and though its quite cold here the
heat was welcoming.
<<<
I have those days, too. Like in the very early winter mornings...I go out to
get a newspaper from the corner shop just down the road; and, then, immediatley
come back in. But, going out there so early, it's like NO SUNSHINE...just all
utterly freezing COLD!!! And, it's only when I go back out there say closer to
mid-day...that the sun, finally, starts to appear...and, so, the day tends to
feel a hell of a lot more warmer/and, thus, a hell of a lot more friendly./;-)
>>>
I saw the sky and the cloud cover was beautiful. A
dappled effect that was ordered chaos with a hint of calming cover

Truly AMAZING and FANTASTIC writing, as usual. So, I felt I just had to repeat
it./;-)

<<<
Pauses/and, cigarettes...yes, weird, by now, -me being a 'regular' reader
here,- you would tend to think I'd have gotten totally sick and tired of
reading about these???
But, in fact, not...; in your case, I still tend to find them both to be rather
highly entertaining, and, funny.
I think, these extra added on aspects...-(somewhat, like taking TV commerical
break - only during reading)-...make your writing seem all the more
'real'/where one is witnessing exactly what is going on in the
'present'/namely, one is made well aware that you are writing after the facts,
so to speak...anyway, somehow, or other it still manages to appeal.
Or, perhaps, this is just me simply acknowledging the wholly 'unique' quality
of your writing...; as nobody else tends to write about such really ODD
things./LOL
>>>
I walked around the first round about and then the second and after
passing the slip road challenge a kind person waved me across the road
<<<
Yes, 'kind' persons...who one tends to, wholly unpredictably, run into on ones
walks. I have to say, I tend to meet them few and far between. But, whenever
you do...you tend to feel much uplifted, indeed!/;-)/Thank God for 'kind'
people...; as without them...I wouldn't bother to go out there, atall!
Seriously.
>>>
I wondered if you get to a point in your life that safety no
longer bothers you
<<<
I don't think one ever gets to reach a point in your life...when safety no long
bothers you, anymore. Not unless you are a member of the SAS, anyway! But, me,
I've always been...and, most probably, always will be a member of the
EFA-Eternally & Forevermore Anxious troupe!
Hey, great save for the old lady, btw./;-)

<<<
Yes, I know what you mean. Look everywhere-even behind you, sometimes!
Though, I really have to admit, I tend to be pretty damn stupid whenever I'm
crossing streets.
First of all, I don't tend to use zebra crossings much. Instead, I just cross
over absolutely anywhere...so long as I honestly believe the street appears
either empty...(I forget cars appear fast out of nowhere/or else, can suddenly
come rushing at you out of corners)/or else, I judge that the passing cars are
much too far away to be able to catch up with me?!
What is really weird, sometimes,I just tend to completely forget all about it's
a STREET with CARS, constantly, coming and going...as I feel that totally
relaxed about it. So, I sort of look down, instead, of up...checking out both
left/right.../or, I find my mind wondering off and thinking about something
else entirely...not atall thinking about SAFETY?!...and, at other times, I
actually find myself looking the 'wrong' way...like, instead, of looking
right/I'm looking left/or, I'm watching a girl in a mini-skirt...; needless to
say, these habits have gotten me into much trouble over time. I've had more
'near misses' than I can actually ever say?! I think, it's all due to
ADD-Attention Deficit Disorder why that tends to happen to me...; rather than
me choosing to act, quite deliberately, stupid!
However, when a really 'bad' accident nearly happens to me...then, all of a
sudden, I WAKE UP...and, start to follow the Green Cross Code...just like they
had taught me as a child way back in Primary School.

Yes, same thing tends to happen to me MANY times...when I try answering
newsgroups post...whilst writing, and, being online. I HATE it when I write
like either a massively LONG post.../or else, one which is short, but, very
INTENSE. And, the damn computer FREEZES! Meaning I've got no other choice but
to go rewrite it all over again! Sometimes, I just don't even bother...and,
competely give up!

area which was busy today but no one was getting in my way so it was a

Wow! Now, that's speaking all about having made LOADS of PROGRESS! I recall,
when you used to say...you only went out late...so as not to run into anybody,
atall. Yet, now, you are saying 'you walked through a busy shopping area - and,
still felt calm'. GREAT! WTG.
>>>
nor did i see any bikes
<<<
What?! NO bikes, today!/LOL/How very deeply disappointing for you! Hell, I
don't even like -(or, care less)- about seeing bikes...; but, due to having
read through your posts...I, now, fully EXPECT to see/hear/read about, at
least, ONE bike every single time! Well, no worries, as I'm sure next time ONE
will appear...looking forwards./;-)
>>>
and thought the walks going to be dull to type
up for the second part if i don't see some thing fast :).

Yes, my FAVORITE walks...are the ones where I both see/hear/experience
absolutely nothing...but, the sheer bliss of walking, quite peacefully, all
alone...just me/the skies/and, the empty streets. But, I agree with
you...that's not a lot of fun for anybody to read?!/LOL
>>>
here was no point visiting Wayne's flat as no one was in ( I was
told they were all working or at school

Ah, Wayne. Yes, I've missed him a lot. And, his misses. And, his kids.
Really weird thing this internet...; you find yourself missing all sorts of
total stranger people who you've never ever met, before?!
But, I swear, Wayne & family are FAMOUS...; which is all purely due to
YOU!/;-)/I sure hope that Wayne & family don't mind being, rather unwittingly,
SUPERSTARS?!

I strolled down my street and found myself happy that i had gone
out and enjoyed such a wonderful day :).
<<<
What a truly lovely way to end ones post...with a heart being filled with sheer
HAPPINESS...for having GONE OUT, and, DONE IT!
Very well done, indeed. And, I pray that ALL of your walks will be equally as
HAPPY./;-)
Last, just want to say, it's GREAT coming back here...and, to see you are still
posting...please, don't stop...and, I encourage you to keep it up...there are
many loyal Graf FANS out here./;-)

I know what you mean about the nightmares although mine are normally
when i sleep and the less sleep i get the small the nightmares so at
least its a bonus :). Some of the dreams i've had would make you
scream......thats one of the reasons i never post about them but i
have to add i had a long nights sleep last night and after doing my
e-mails now i'm off for a bit to eat and then off to bed :).

Oh that's different from me.....i don't get the sexual style of
thoughts just overly exaggerated Loving thought.....i get the feeling
i would like to wrap my arms around the world and give everyone a nice
big (((Mellow Squsihes))).....Im just like that........well part of me
is.

I always like to include them as i find it a nice way to have a small
rest in between the typing and of course i get a cuppa in the process
:-).

I know what you mean......to be honest i think a lot of it is my
appearence......if you see someone 17 and a half stone and with a
beard and long hair you could loose a small country in walking towards
you in black denim you smile in the hope that he has
1 eaten already
2 doesn't feel like killing the world with a single thought
and 3 wont turn over your car if he walks into it by accident LOL
None of these things would ever happen but most people stereo type do
they not :(. i've been luck with the kind people on my walks.....its
nice to see others around your area who have been as kind :).

Simon is a young boy who sadly passed away and i pass his grave each

at the age of 10.......Its best to read the passage from my walks at

Hmm...good question. Let's see...
I signed up to go to college this year September 2003...because, I already
dropped out, twice, before...and, thus, remain still having NO
qualifications...(dropped out of school at only age 14 - far too early to have
taken any exams)!
I signed up to take, at least, 10 courses:-
>>>3 x keep fit: Tai Chi(in 2 different colleges)/and, Yoga
-(NOTE: Going to the keep fit classes I didn't tend to take too very
seriously...beause, I figured I'm not going to gain any qualification in these,
anyway.)-
>>>3 x art(s): Painting on China/Still life drawing/and, Life drawing(using
both male/female either partially clothed/or else, fully 'naked' models-yes,
the mind well and truly boggles doesn't it?! But, actually, when you're serious
about learning to draw...pretty soon all you see is the difficulties of getting
perspective right???/line/paint/tone/texture/shade/-etc. And, so, you -nearly-
completely forget the model is naked before you, anymore?! Anyway, being adults
- we've already seen it all - boring! So, we don't tend to behave like
kids...who are, constantly, whispering, and, tittering to one another!)
-(NOTE: Arts to me is pure FUN. I do it purely because I, well and truly, enjoy
it. However, I'm afraid, I don't tend to take it too seriously, neither...;
mainly, because, I'm NOT that talented an artist?! So, certainly, I'd like to
see my own art work improve a bit...; however, I don't really see myself as
having enough talent to be able to sell any work, ever?!)-
>>>2 x computer(s): Web Design/ECDL-European Computer Driving Licence(learning
to operate Microsoft Office software packages: spreadsheet/database/word
processor/-etc.)
-(NOTE: Computer subjects I take seriously...; as this is the field in which
I'm hoping to be able to obtain a degree one day, sooner or later...; though,
most likely, studying at my super-slow pace it'll be, later...and, a hell of a
lot later rather than sooner! Meaning years and years and years of studying
still to go do...)
>>>1 x languages: French(if only I could learn to speak just 1 foreign
language...; then, I should feel so proud. But, it's easier to learn say
learning 1 computer language which only comprises say 250 - 500
words/symbols...than, it is to go learn a natural language which contains,
quite literally, 1000's and 1000's of words/symbols...and, just endlessly keeps
on growing, as well...because, almost everyday, new words are being invented,
and, thus, are being added into the natural spoken language...increasing it's
already HUGE size!)
-(NOTE: -I dropped out of French classes year 2000, before! After missing far
too many classes/homework...then, finding it extremely difficult to catch up?!-
I really don't know if I'm ever going to have enough PATIENCE to learn 1000's
and 1000's of any foreign language words...in order to be able to speak the
language fluently??? Somehow, I tend to think, NOT!!!
Nevertheless, even learning a little bit helps...; as learning something is far
better than having learnt absolutely nothing, atall! And, beginners all have to
start somewhere...namely, at the beginning.)-
>>>
How about Boldly Unsettled Gargantually
Grateful Enthusiastically Rambunctious
<<<
Yes, indeed, I do tend to be way over-enthusiastic...at least, to start out
with, anyway!
However, so far to date, I confess...
>>> I didn't turn up for any of the 2 x seperate Tai Chi classes!
>>>I quit going to Yoga after only having gone to take 2 lessons, alone!
>>>I also dropped out of all of my 3 x art(s) lessons, as well...; though, I
should have gone to the Life Drawing ones...just to see a FREE peep show, I
guess?!
>>>The final French lesson was just last week. So, will have to sign up,
again...if I wish to take it for a further 10 weeks. (I missed, at least, 6
French lessons out of 10...; having attened only about 4!)
Just as you've already said...

Fantastically Uncertain Credulously Karmic Intelligently Tense

...which makes 8 out of 10 lessons which I'd originally signed up for -and,
already, paid for, too, at the rate of £10.00 per lesson-which is VERY costly
to unemployed people like me-...I've dropped out of. £80.00 of £100.00,
already, gone right down the drain!
This leaves me with just 2 more lessons still to go, and, take. Both of these
are computer related. And, are the ones I consider to be 'most imporant' for me
to gain a certificate in...which is also why I choose to stick with them, right
up to the end. Whereas all of the other lessons I seem to have regarded as
being entirely 'optional', instead?!
The 2 classes I'm left with are...Web Design & ECDL. Both of these courses,
-(unlike the rest which lasted only 10 weeks)-, do last for a full year long.
-(So far, out of the full year...I've done only 6 months...and, it feels like a
doing some sort of LIFE SENTENCE! My mind, constantly, wants to wonder off,
and, do something else, instead?!)-
However, right now, we are on holiday break time...; I go back to college 5th
January 2004. YEA, believe me, I NEEDED that break!
Hopefully, I won't drop out of these last 2 college courses, as well. In the
which case, it will mean I'd have quit going to college, three times, now. And,
then, would have to sign up to go back to college for a 4th time, next year,
September 2004.
ADD-Attention Deficit Disorder isn't always something that is very easy to live
with...because, it means you can only start things...but, somehow or other,
just can't ever finish?!
Going at this rate...I'm currently aged 40 now...it will take me, at least, the
next 20 years of 'trying to' stick with it...in order to gain the degree in
computers qualification I'm praying for???
Oh, and, I forget to mention one other truly dreadful obstacle...which is my
worst subject...maths! I still have to go take GCSE maths lessons -(I dropped
out last time, year 2000)-, again, sooner or later...or else,
university/computer programming classes will never be able to accept me!
Ha! Well, I see, I've gone and wrote over-long, as usual. Going into far more
detail than you, most probably, had ever expected! Sorry, again.
Ever since I got the computer/internet...people keep on telling me to write
between just 3-10 lines max...but, I tend to write whole pages and
pages...being economical with writing, I'm afraid, just isn't me!
GOOD LUCK
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
;-)
-(You said you love 'cold' weather...; well, that must mean you're going to
have a whale of a time this Christmas...BRRRRRR!!!
Enjoy yourself going out there...and, sure hope you don't catch the cold/flu
virus that is going around...-yes, I've caught it, myself, already- ...meaning,
always, remember to wrap up really warm before you go out. Take care!)-
