    phew!

    another  near death experience, but this time, siggimus had the good sense of giving up

    not embarrassed to confess he gave up after bicycling two-thirds of the way home

    siggimus would be extremelier ashameder if it had only been a bit of rain

    siggimus would be extremely ashamed if it had only been a bit of wind

    but pouring rain plus 17 metres per second wind (with gusts of 25 metres per second) plus bursts of hail …

    siggimus sees no shame in surrendering to the elements when they turn the knob to 11

  • 6,43 km

    somehow managed to ride spanking new bike 6,43km home. walked <50 metres (a short, near vertical bit). legs have turned to rubber

  • turns out there are reasons for not wearing jeans when you play badminton. several reasons. all good

  • if…

    if siggimus were a rich man, ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    all day long siggimus’d biddy biddy bum, if siggimus were a wealthy man.
    siggimus wouldn’t have to work hard! ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. if siggimus were a biddy biddy rich, yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

    well, of course the deedle deedle bubba bubba deedle deedle dum goes without saying, but siggimus would also have great trouble sleeping & a growing ulcer & severe depression & an assortment of other smaller ailments

    instead siggimus just has his fractured (but quickly healing!!) rib, some eczema, unwieldy hair, a bum back & his trusty, hard-earned debt

  • phew!

    checked with bank & apparently there is no reason at all to worry

    siggimuses debt is completely safe

  • erm … as long as you avoid sneezing or coughing or laughing, a slightly cracked rib is not so serious, right..?

  • getting worked up about tindersticks tonight!

  • interesting read

    gave siggimus quite a bit to ponder

    “According to Andrew Oswald, an economist at Warwick University, one explanation is that under capitalism we spend too much time looking over our shoulders at the Joneses. The other – more compelling – theory is that because of higher educational expectations and the onus on achievement, more and more of us are tortured by our failure to live up to the aspirations of youth.“

    -why is noone talking about the fact that the icelandic economic upsurge (‘goodyear’) around 2000 was accompanied by a campaign against suicide?

    -why do we keep buying stuff in order to feel better, knowing the fix blows over very quickly?

    -ignorance is bliss? is it possible for highly intelligent people to be really happy?

    aren’t the more intelligent people prone to overthinking things & hence more likely to feel bad about their lives?

    Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.

    John Stuart Mill

    depression is sorta like having your own personal radio station between your ears. it’s always on and spews out negative crap, but you only hear it when your brain is in neutral

    the thing to do is set up a pirate station with positive things & blast it to 11

    it’s a question of the simple things; not doing special things you enjoy, but enjoying the little things you do

    once in a while, do a list with the good and the bad stuff in your life. focus on the good, you probably won’t need much help with the bad stuff…

    it’s probably not a bad way to combat that radio station
