The language without words

My day seems so full of words - words that have meaning, words that get misinterpreted, words that disappear into thin air, words in my mind - a constant stream of noise. Today I am going to try and keep silent. I'm going to try and listen with not just my ears, but with my sense of smell, sense of taste and try and listen beyond words. I want to try and speak with my eyes and my actions - learn to speak the language without words. But to start I need to stop typing these words and be silent...

Finally online

Finally managed to set up ADSL at home - so this is my first post from home in my study.

Technology

Tried to install ADSL at home last night. I needed to connect a telephone wire from the kitchen to the study. Sounds easy - but it took me about an hour to get it connected because I kept on breaking the wires when i tried to strip them. I eventually set everything up and went through the installation process only to find I needed an 'order number' and I had no idea where to fine it. So - a whole evening wasted.
Got to work this morning and I couldn't log in because something had changed. I felt powerless not having my pc. It's wierd that everything I do sees to be so dependant on technology and being 'linked in' to this bigger something - the internet.
So now I'm waiting for my settings to be backed up and thought I'd try this blogging thing again. It's cool - kind of like a silent psychologist listening to whatever it is I want to say. I wonder if anyone will read this stuff - but I guess it doesn't really matter. It's a way of recording some of myself without having to attempt writing a book, although that is also something I'd like to do.
Ok - enough rambling for now..

Starting Out

I don't know how many times I've tried to start blogging. There's just something about putting my thoughts on the www for all to see that makes me type, and then delete - almost if I want to reserve the right to change my mind. Anyhow - here goes...No doubt I'll get into it and my blogs will contain a bit more information about my thoughts, beliefs and the way i experience life. We'll see :)
