Cyber Schizophrenia
People often wonder if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there, does it make any sound? My thought is if a blogger blogs in cyberspace and nobody reads it, does the blogger truly blog? Surely blogging must be interactive, otherwise is it not merely journalling?

The morning shift.
Catching a glimpse of a fox crossing a road.
Queuing for a McDonald's breakfast behind a fleet of blue toothed up cabbies.
Traffic cones being gathered after night road closures.
Inane or prerecorded radio broadcasts.
Morning papers still strapped in plastic in a pile on the pavement.
Street cleaning machines sweeping up yesterday's detritus in rapidly spinning bristles on spindles.
The chirping of the dawn chorus.
The sun presenting its glorious and powerful rays to a new day filled with hope and potential.
All of these things are signs witnessed at the crack of dawn. An extra few hours of kip and you'd be none the wiser, but the activities would have all taken place.

Lorne sausage beats old banger, but who really wins?
Alex Salmond could not convince everyone in the referendum, but ultimately Cameron and Milliband connived and bumbled respectively to get SNP elected in Scotland. The only problem for anyone on the progressive side of politics south of Hadrian's Wall is that fear mongering worked in favour of smarm's just call me Dave. A curious punishment vote punished the lesser part of the coalition, typical bullying tactics were employed by the British electorate and target the weakest - almost to elimination. What will happen in the next five years? Who knows? I'll take Oor Wullie over Jeeves and Wooster any day.

Capitalism conquers over dated 2D gaming franchise.
Money talks, as well as eating or spooking apparently.
Back to the old cherries, white full stops and power up coins for battered old pac man.
There are rumours pong wants to challenge trade unionism in the next unfeasible match up. I wonder what the T-shirts will look like? In fact I even doubt whether there are pugilists who fight under such naff pseudonyms. Some bright spark probably just made thelatest rumour up to generate hype or perpetuate indifference, depending on one's stance on blood sports.

May Day, do you need rescuing from the Green Man?
It's curious how the same letters or words can mean such different things. Case in point: May Day means the first day of the fifth month or it's a distress signal.
Curious: inquisitive or strange.
Outstanding: fantastic or yet to be finished.
Stranger: more unusual or an unknown person.
Isn't context such a great thing?
