Poets of the Fall: Revolution Roulette LIVE at Lost In Music



Yesterday I put up a couple of posts and then deleted them. I was having a bit of a horrible day and should have stayed away from this blog.
Anyway here is another song from my favourite Finnish band.

Secrets and Confusion

I've just finished Sophie Kinsella's book 'Can You Keep a Secret'. To be honest it's not the type of book I ever thought I would find myself reading. I really enjoyed it and found myself wishing I was back in my twenties again. There were times I had tears in my eyes and other times unable to stop myself bursting out laughing.At one point I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time which is a strange feeling for me.
I know the book is aimed at female readers and I could at some points identify with the main character, Emma, which did lead to some confusing feelings which I am not going to try attempt to go into here.
I liked it so much I am reading another of her books at the moment which I am enjoying as well.
Below is a link if you would like to know more-

This all stems from watching the film based on her Shopaholic series of books which I will no doubt end up reading as well.

Dreaming

I may be on the verge of better things or it could get a lot worse only time will tell.
In the last couple of months I've taken an interest in my dreams again. The last time was after my wife passed away. I've always had an interest in Lucid Dreaming but never managed to achieve one where I realise I am dreaming and take control. I have had some vivid ones that jolted me awake. I had another one last night.
My wallet was floating between me and a woman who looked very much like me when I am out. She told me that she would swap two handbags she had for the wallet that actually looked empty.
The handbags looked quite heavy and I wanted to look inside them, but couldn't open them. I didn't care about the wallet. She kept asking the same question with a smile, but for some reason we couldn't make the swap. I woke up and wrote the dream down in my journal.
The one thing is I've felt good all morning. Maybe I am losing it, but I might as well try and make use of that third of my life sleeping and see where it takes me.
