WHERE IS IT? C'MON, SOMEONE TELL ME! In illustration we have Raphael Nadal (L) currently playing tennis against Andy Murry in Wimbledon and Naomi Campbell (R) currently doing community service for going mental when a bag containing a gown she had been scheduled to wear that night on an American talkshow went missing in London Heathrow's "fantastic" new Terminal 5 (don't go there! All they ever seem to do is lose everyone's luggage and leave you hours late still sans baggages... Plus I'm posting below (Godwilling it will actually be there on Youtube for me to plunder) the Black Eyed Peas' Where is the Love: the only pop song I can think of that makes a direct plea to Almighty God: (paraphrased)
Father help us send some guidance from above;
People got me questioning: WHERE IS THE LOVE?
Talking of Higher Powers yes I did make it to Narcotics Anonymous last week. Unfortunately I missed the best part of the meeting (something to do with "acceptance") though what people had to say about "acceptance" was interesting. One guy said he never throughout his entire career of using conceded defeat to crack cocaine. What he meant was that he never threw up inner hands and went "that's it, I'm an addict I'm going to give up on giving up and I'm just going to use" ~ which I have to say is not like me. I "accepted" that I was a deadbeat junkie long ago and I can tell you once the inner struggle and all the lost promises "I'm giving up tomorrow/next week etc" had gone I felt a lot more comfortable just wallowing in the pigs' diarrhoea of my addiction (well what else can I call it). Another guy said that the heroin-crack snowballs he used to inject put him "in another dimension"... "but I'm in this dimension. So I stopped doing it". I know exactly where he's coming from re crack and have found it quite easy to accept that you simply cannot stay that high all the time. Heroin isn't a "high" as such, it feels more like pharmacological "food". In fact the dealers often call it "food" if offering in anything like mixed company... I know the heroin-crack mixture well and though I have done it strong (ie 50:50 strength) I can think of one morning in particular when I knew I had "a bit of coke on my spoon", threw heroin on top, banged it up in the bathroom with the window open. All I can say about the coke was there was more than "a bit" of it as I broke into a profuse sweat, felt a trembling nausea rush up from my heart like an express train, followed by a literal whooshing through the ears (you can actually hear the crack rush when it's strong) and a high that was rather like being picked up by the feet and swung around somebody else's head by the ankles. Right in the middle of this the next door neighbour's kid screamed in their garden... a scream that got snagged on the crackrush and seared through the back of my brainbox and out into infinity. I do not wish to experience THAT again 1st thing in the morning and ever since have kept my crack use tinsy-winsy! (Not gonna lie and say I've given up ANYTHING entirely as I only fall flat on my face back in the pigs' diarrhoea when I do...)
Righty ho. It's still FAIRLY hot. Actually I might have got yesterday's temperature wrong. It could have been 38C not 28C which makes it 100F. Boy can you feel THAT in this town. The tube, as Eileen said is particularly stifling and an average of at LEAST 5C hotter if not 10C hotter than the overground shade-temperature. Now I have to go else I'll never get this posted. Take care people!

I really like this video.
ps sorry I cannot comment chez vous anywhere as am OUT OF BLOODY TIME AGAIN!
Crack is wack yo ;) Keep going to the meetings, chin up my friend. Re; The Weather: Toronto has been experiencing some crazy weather...massive T-storms, hail mixed in with sunny skies and on/off again hot, muggy weather. When it gets hot here, it doesn't let up. Yesterday was Canada day so we spent a lazy afternoon on an Island called Ward's watching the world go by......Yesssss Canada! Nooooooo crack!
Great move Gleds keep going . . .we have a big ice problem here,herion seems to be on the fall but the party drugs are everywhere! Send us some of your hot weather . . it's a cool 19 here and I'm tucked up in a hoodie! Keep the faith pal!
I like Nadal...Andre Agassi was my favorite tennis player (athlete) and when Nadal arrived on the scene he mentioned that Andre was his idol and he was so incredibly elated when he beat him. I've liked him ever since. I love tennis but, unfortunately, haven't been able to follow this round of Wimbledon. I think it's the first one I've missed in 20 years!
Hey, Gleds, well done on getting to the NA meeting. Keep on keeping on, my friend.
As for Naomi Campbell, that is one seriously bad tempered lady (and I use the term advisedly). I like Raphael Nadal (and his body, too), but Agassi is my all time favourite tennis player. Roll on Aust Open!
Cheers, Gleds, look after yourself.
Good on you for going to the NA meeting. Hope you will find it helpful. I also really think this video is great.
Very powerful video Gleds, where is the love ? supposed to be inside us isnt it ?
Never been in London when the weather is hot but I can imagine the tubes being unbearabally hot I find them hot and claustaphobic at the best of times.
Must admit Im missing the sunny Texas skies not too hot here in Aberdeen. Went to San Antonio where it reached 93f cant imagine anything hotter but know the temparature rises..........whey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hot hot hot.
Interesting reading about your meeting, keep strong Gleds and wise and happy xx Auds
Eileen: crack is indeed whack. It certainly cracked my brain (for over a year) one time. It's nice not to be paranoid-psychotic now!!
Yeah the NA meetings "keep coming back" as they say...
Baino: heroin has been in drought Down Under for over a decade (as I understand) mostly to do with bad poppy harvest in Myanmar. Now our Afghan brown "#3" is flooding in but wow! The price chez vous is over x4 here. Ice is ukky. "Party drugs" kill too!
Debs: the only games I wanted to watch were Nadal-Murray and (probably the final) Federer-Nadal. I might go betting shop to catch the 2nd one...
Puss-in-Boots: Naomi Campbell ought to play scarey Grace Jones Terminator type roles in the movie. Surely she's precisely cut out for that...
Lone Grey: fantastic vid, innit?
Auds: you're dead right - of COURSE the love is inside us all only we're all too PATHETICALLY SCARED to exprss it!
She is very famous now
