Realizing; I already have a quieter mind and a quieter heart.

But still an annoying loud body, making a louder head, triggering stupid unwanted left over habits that I want to be gone so badly.


It could be my final obstacle into finally changing myself for good.
Reborn into something closer to myself than whatever this person is.


:roll: Mind over matter?
I wish. If that were true, then my body should shut up if my head's the same way. That my mind, my intentions, the things I put my sights on, dictates what I do and not "this shite".

That's the best reason for choosing a name, I think. Beats choosing them to reflect the parents' religion or as a sop to the ancestors.

I seriously don't know how I got away with doing absolutely nothing during my school years...but I did

They mustn't have taken education seriously in them days that's all I can say

Didn't they do report cards to show to the parents? Mine had mixed reviews. You could tell which teachers didn't like me and which did. The whole thing was prejudiced.

You must have had a keeper of some sort though. They call them guardians.

Yeah but she was an alcoholic and busy with her own life to bother about things like that :lol:

It's just how it was
I don't think it's a unique situation

Well at least there was that one advantage about not seeing the reports. I used to get told off for mine, but it didn't do any good. Everybody thought it was just a matter of me working harder. Idiots.

My mom says that if I was a boy, she would most likely call me Łukasz (and not Magdalena - my real first name) because my great grandmother's maiden name was Łukaszek which is a diminutive of Łukasz - a little Łukasz, that's how you could call a small boy of this name.

I saw the Wall of Death performed once. It's one of the few genuinely spectacular things I've seen.

I saw a wall of death in a George Formby film. And I've performed a song called "All The Roadrunning" by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris that's about the same sport. But I never saw a real one.

I think you might be talking about different walls of death.

There's the sideshow attraction:



And then there's what happens at a concert:
