John O'Connell, tumbleblogging from London.

40's, educated, cultured, green activist, geek, and motorcycle nut .... Into art, culture, philosophy, bikes, protesting about everything, linux computing, environmental issues, alternative fuels, minimalism, anti-consumerism, liberalism, screwing with the system and generally messing with your head. Oh, and cats.

Mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before.
So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome.
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.
And if it hurts, you know what? ... It's probably worth it.

Favourite Quotations

John Wooden :

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Captain Nathan Algren, ‘The Last Samurai’ :

[Narrating] Spring, 1877. This marks the longest I’ve stayed in one place since I left the farm at 17.

There is so much here I will never understand. I’ve never been a church going man, and what I’ve seen on the field of battle has led me to question God’s purpose.

But there is indeed something spiritual in this place. And though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power.

I do know that it is here that I’ve known my first untroubled sleep in many years.

Balian Of Ibelin, ‘Kingdon Of Heaven’:

God will understand, my lord.

And if he doesn’t, then he is not God and we need not worry.
