The weekend and ‘I kissed a boy’ video

By Love & Relationships, Music & RadioNo Comments

Hi All,

I have had a wonderful Friday evening and Saturday day with my boyfriend David. Friday started after work in the evening with celebratory drinks, celebrating his birthday. A good time was had by all (hopefully I may have a photo to show you David soon!).

Saturday we spent a lot of time talking which I have come to realise is vitally important in any relationship. Clear communication is important. I am lucky enough that generally David and I are excellent communicators, not to say we don’t have the odd misunderstanding. I must admit that when I got home on Saturday evening to do my application form (see Good & Bad news) I missed him.

On an unrelated topic there has been a song constantly played on Radio 1 called ‘I kissed a girl’. I have heard that some reports in the media claim the female artist is trying to cash in on lesbianism. I have tried to keep away from these media reports for one reason: the song is crap, repetitive and boring! However, I did hear on radio 1 that on YouTube that there is a video of a ‘I kissed a boy’ version sung by males. I could not resist checking it out and bloging about it. Here’s the video:

The video is unfortuately just an image of the all male band. It is obiously a cheap ploy to get famous or make a name for themselves. But it was extremely refreshing to hear a song about a boy kissing another boy in this hetrosexual world we live in.

Blog soon my friends,

Antony

BBC – Amazon Series (Bruce Parry)

By Reviews, TV, Online Streaming & FilmsNo Comments

I have just watched the first episode of the BBC’s Amazon series presented by Bruce Parry on my recordable freeview box . It is absolutely fantastic. I love his humanistic approach, as he gets to know the locals and embraces their culture. He also explores the wider social-economic and political influences on people’s lifes.

I would recommend it to you all. You can view it if you missed it for 7 days on the BBC iPlayer.

With love and respect,

Antony

Reiki one – Qualified

By Life, PaganismNo Comments

I am pleased to announce I am now Reiki One qualified. I shall be looking for opportunities to practice what I have learned. Most of the course content I already knew (charka system, drawing down energy from the universe, etc.) however there was a number of things I also learnt (history of reiki, hand positions, etc.).

There was a focus on an exchange for Reiki which I found most interesting. So if someone asks for reiki they need to give something in exchange (wheather it be money, a gift, or a service). This way the person values the reiki given and it supports me in my time.

There has been talk about going on to Reiki 2, but I shall wait. The cards I have picked up as part of one of the exercises on the course have talked about change and new beginnings. So I wish to get my life a little bit more settled before considering Reiki 2. In addition to this, I am required to do three months practice prior to progression on the next degree.

Keeping you informed,

Antony

Reiki at the weekend

By Life, PaganismNo Comments

I am looking forward to my level 1 Reiki course at the weekend. Taught by a forma lecturer at university in complementary therapies. To get a head start (like I need one…ha…ha), here are some video’s I’ve watched on YouTube:

This one is about what Reiki is. I think the woman maybe quite knowledgeable. The bloke, who doesn’t seem to know that much (and whitters) unfortunatley does most of the talking. Antony Rating: 2 / 10.

This american woman gives a lot of knowledge about reiki and you see her practicing. However she does mention the 5th and 7th charka’s, which people new to reiki and the charka system may not be aware of.

As it’s late and I need to go to bed – I’ll add more soon. And I will let you know how the course goes.
