Life to be Artists
I’ve received a question from a keen reader of this blog / Jaganathan, who is
creating / developing fancy program of creating even fancier sound, out of computer.
————
anyway id like your thoughts or a blog post 🙂 Why do many artists end
up depressed, do drugs, kill themselves. And how to keep doing good
work irrespective of whether it is a success or failure. How do
continue doing sincere work even if nobody gives a sit.
—————–
In anyone’s life, to see what is the success, having many facets —— Financial ?, Social recognition ?,
Historical importance ?, Personal Pride and Confidence ?, Made people happy and became local Hero ?
All those may satisfy the ego. But in reality, before think about success, most acute needs are to survive.
—-
When I finished hi-school and chose the direction and Uni’, I hated to go to science and technology side
as I didn’t want to be enslaved by the technology —– I’ve applied to Art College. Though I was told by
the member of Alpine Club in that College “Want to become Sculptor ? Oh no, even studied in here,
its impossible to live on the sculpture. You may end-up an art teacher in a junior school or a craftsman
making dummy for the shop” —– What a hopeless situation. I gave up and next year I went to a Uni’
where we don’t need to fix the direction / Faculty / Major for the first year —– then end up to take
Sociology by accident. Before apply the Art College, an art teacher told me ” The success rate of
top Art College ( Where I wanted to go) is about 50%, and the other would be less than 10% ” here
success mean, able to live / survive on the skill or the art which was studied in the college.
This was the time, Art was the traditional Art, long before such as Conceptual Art became main stream.
Art is a very subjective commodity. Commodity mean, the objects which can be sold and owned.
Though, when the type of art, and the educational direction has changed to the Pure Art and a theory
of Conceptual Art, sellable art became the dirty word as it is Commercial / Crafty, to live on
the Art become even harder. Who want to buy a pile of dung / (said to be) conceptual art installation. 😀
——- So, the question of Jaganathan is a little bit out of time or not a kind of the matter to rise a question.
Depressed, infested by Drug, kill oneself or even kill others —– may not be anything unusual. 😀
Even worse, as the art education is aiming to the concept, not the skill, actually no skilled useless persons
were flooded to the labour market ( it include the Media study as well).
Under such situation, if any artist want to have satisfying life should better take Buddhist’s paradox.
Forget success, forget recognition, forget financial reward and just make own art —– but perfect one.
Perfect Art would hit the guts feeling of the others. It impress the people and make their mouth shut.
——- so-called success will follow. ( But, as long as the one is hoping and expecting the day will come, with
ego and greed there will be no perfect art or success. —— in this aspects, Dharma is very harsh )
So that, so-called Positive thinking, or Keep your hope live etc etc are all but just the sweet words.
The Buddhist Mushin is the very strict term, if not perfect, it would be all in vain.
If Jaganathan is developing new program, if it is exciting enough, he could be absorbed into its work,
he couldn’t be disturbed by useless thought —— its mean, he needs to make his work interesting,
important enough —– here, crucial inspiration, key idea which he may get it in the Blank Space
may become decisive factor. So, to see its new idea, in complete open mind / Mushin holding the key.
( Here, chicken and the egg, Exciting project absorbs person’s mind and make him into Mushin, though
to get exciting idea need to have Mushin —– shut up, just start. Ha ha ha. 😀 )
——- So, how about, take a walk, —— Do a Walking Zen and get Mushin first 🙂

Four-Leaf Clover
I know, everybody have a memory, once (or many times) looked for the four-leaf clover when we
saw the patch of ground covered by the clover. Of cause I have, and in deed I found few of them in my life.
Yet, I don’t think it brought me any better luck —— and I’m not talking about the good luck here.
( Still, this post deserve to have a title of Four-leave Clover —– you will find it 🙂 )
——
When you were looking for the clover, do you remember what you were thinking ? Kind of play to the God ?
“Oh my Load, please give me a Four-Leaf Clover” —— I don’t think so. 😀
(May be you were thinking of your girl friend or boy friend —- to present the precious findings. How sweet ! )
When you are scanning the field with your eyes, I don’t think any thought was in the brain.
Eyes were just scanning and just concentrating for the task. In fact any thought would be a distraction.
And, do you believe the concentrated effort, will power would help to find it ? I don’t think so neither 😀
And if you lucky to find one, was it in the center of your eyes ? —— it doesn’t necessary so.
Quite often we find the intended object somewhere periphery of our vision.
We read the small letters in the center of our eyes, other than the center, we can’t read and understand
what was written there. So that, when we need to find a file name in the list, we have to concentrate
and pick the pattern of the word in the file name. It need to have a will to read.
In comparison we can detect the pattern which we know already in the periphery of eye field.
But this vision were controlled by our subconscious, not by our conscious will. When noticed
it’s there, we move eye-ball and capture it in the center of vision, then confirm it, Gotcha !
___
When I was in my Uni’ I was asked to join the research expedition to the remote corner of Japan or pacific
islands, to help the botanist. ( As I was a member of Alpine Club, specialized in yet traced area or jungle
kind of terrain and doing botanical photography as well —– despite of I was a student of Sociology. 🙂 )
Strangely, in those occasions, many times I was the first or only one to find out the specific plant, while
going through the field or jungle. I have enough knowledge of botany but, professors knows a similar type
and so on far better, and the information I had, was only a line drawing of the plant from the botanical book,
encyclopedia etc otherwise 70-year-old dry specimen, of which the plant haven’t been seen 50 years,
kind of rare species. Everybody was amazed ” How you could see this. You must got very good eyes ”
( Though, I’m heavily short eye-sighted ) “No no, I just noticed, it looked different ” ” In 10m away ? ”
Of cause, the plant didn’t come on front of us. I had to catch it in my peripheral view.
——- In deed, our eyes or cognitive function of our brain is possessing remarkable ability.
Just learned from 2″ size line drawing to distinguish real plant ( which is not necessary having flower to
stand out ) might be akin to a Policeman to apprehend a suspect, from a vague photo-fit.
It must have a very intuitive creative work to fill a gap.
—-
But before work out to reconstruct the image, we need to catch it in the first place.
So, how our eyes can catch the Four Leaf Clover in distance, even by the peripheral vision.
In fact, the answer lies in this peripheral vision, and its subconscious process.
It’s all came down to the same paradox ” When you want to see, you can’t. When you abandon to
search, you start to see”. And here, the same Blanc Space in the Mind is playing the role. (Refer the Post)
If you don’t know about the Zen, you might think this is contradictive though, this is how our brain works.
Expose the perception in open-minded way, which Zenist call Mushin (Mind of no mind), the brain can
receive far more information / visual signal, and able to process them far more efficient way.
( Many years ago, I met a man who is working as a railway station staff told me “How to find a railway pass
cheat” saying ” Standing and checking the passes one by one by reading the date on the pass is impossible.
So, we just standing watching the incoming passengers. Then anyone caught eyes, we look at his / her
pass and read the date. We are reading the behavior and the mind of the passengers. Standing and just
seeing the flow of the people, still we can distinguish who is cheating, far more accurate” —– Well said :-))
——- This is why I wrote in the earliest post, ” Just walking the street. Just looking forward without focusing
any point or taking any notice of street scene, open and spread your vision from the side to side.
This is the Zen ” ( in easiest way —- called Walking Zen 😀 —– The advantage in Walking Zen is, you
can observe your state of mind from your Peripheral Vision (able to notice, both end of images are keep
moving while you walk) —– though, tricky part is, you only have to feel them without the conscious mind.
Still it is easier than to observe the state of mind of Sitting / Meditating without Thinking —–
Thinking the state of Not Thinking is pretty hard to achieve —— Make your subconscious to observe
your conscious mind which supposed to be not thinking = This is the nut-shell of Zen training —- Training
because the aim is to achieve Let the subconscious to think and deal with the life —– Because of the
subconscious is thinking but you do not notice it = Hence you are not consciously Thinking.
—– Most important point to remember is, All the thinking process was actually done
subconsciously, then, conscious consideration such as tactical maneuver, social pretence etc
intervene and mess-up the decision-making and push the life into unnecessary trouble.
Buddha’s suggestion was simple, Be straight and simple, don’t make a life complicated by
being messed up by unnecessary thought. This is what the Buddhism all about.)
So, why not try your Zenist eyes by looking for the four-leaved Clover. (Provided, if it’s there at all. 😀
Zen can not create something out of nothing. Zen can only help you to see it ) Good luck !

God — Who ?
The trouble of the personified western God is, —– (there are too many 😀 ) as he was personified,
he came under the logic and the rationality of the human being. So, he can be questioned.
Who is the Mother of God ? Or was he suddenly created out of nothing ?
If it was the case, who created him ? Was there another God somewhere ?
And in that case, he doesn’t have a belly button ? ( Therefore the first man created by him / Adam didn’t
have neither. ) If he didn’t have mother, thus without knowing how the conception occur and it is
essential to have male and female to copulate etc, —– How he managed to create all the animals in pair
but forgot to create female human in the first place ?
——— so, it remains in the myth, and beyond the logic.
Then, poor Adam and Eve went out the Eden and raised a family ——–
The son of Adam and Eve married to each wives ——- What ?
Where those women came from ? ——– Or, are they actually the sisters ? Married to sister ?
When fuck a sister is not a sin, why bother eating apple ?
————————
It is better to leave mythical existence as an abstruct myth. Man made story all ways break down.
Yet still, such story was forced to believe (hence it is the Dogma) and anyone contested it has been
severely surpressed, such as Garileo (of cause he didn’t argue about the belly button,
it is the children’s joke) his question was the slight wobble of the planets and why.
God is the power and the order of the universe and it is invisible. Attempt to describe it by
a manmade words is the sign of disrespect. We human can not see everything or able to know.

Creative Mind (2)
In my life I might have seen billions of images, I’ve seen hundreds of thousand of Art images include
the artistically well designed commercial products. And I met hundreds of artists. With a curiosity of
how those artists create their art, how they conceived the original image or idea. ( Secret of Creation)
It seems there are some distinctive types of creative mind and its mechanism and the tendency.
In most of the cases, there is the original image or real existence which inspired the artist.
The great artist, Pablo Picasso created many ( too many 😀 ) mind-boggling extraordinarily images,
yet he never created any new image. He only created new style to show the same subject.
Even heavily decomposed, deformed cubist paintings still maintain the image of the original subjects.
Same apply to Salvador Dali. Unless the clock with needle hands exist, his melted clock never appeared
in this world. ( Think if it was a digital clock with LCD face, the image couldn’t be so striking as we are
much familiar with funny shaped plastic products )
So, only pure abstract art deals with totally new image, still, what inspired Mondrian was the Japanese
house interior design which Bruno Taut brought to the attention of the west. And even looks like abstract
expression of Henry Moor’s sculptures still shows the woman as woman, unmistakably.
Yet still, some artist create utterly incomprehensible image which is not a result of random chance.
Some people are able to conceive pure image which seems to have no origin.
( Here I’m not talking about the twist of ordinary idea such as ” If the bloom handle is straight stick,
why not an useless twisted metal ” or ” If the public display has to be decent and acceptable, why not
smelly animal dung ” kind of idea ——- it’s still in the logic, only a negative process. Nothing new.)
I had chances to talk with those artists who create utterly incomprehensible images and found
they are not necessary aware creating strange image ” Ah, I just like it. It’s who I am ” —– ! ! !
It seems there is a completely different type of brain exists. Naturally they seemed to have very
different perception and the handling of their life style too. —— not necessary street-wise or
smart to sell their art, since they are neither a good communicator. ( often talks incomprehensible
though, the line on the palm indicating, the person got well developed brain )
___
They are the person of True-Self as the one born to be = as the Dharma created. ——– So, would they
make an Enlightened person or at least good Buddhist ?
Good question, and this question signify the clear distinction What is the Buddhist.
——— Once, Master Dogen questioned ” If everybody born to have the Dharma within, why the past
Great Masters needed to have practice to get it ? ”
The small children are the angels, as they are so natural and innocent ——- as they are in their True Self.
So, the cliché was created. Of cause, it is only a nice flirtation and the myth. If it has even a shred of
viable significance, 99% of world population is the great artists and the Enlightened people, —— and
the Child Parliament with Child PM governing the country. ( Why not 😀 )
—-
True Self in the Buddhist term is not simply the self as a person happened to be born with.
It is the Self once denied Self. ( So, the process is much more important than the result —– in the first
denial, Selfish Ego and the Emotion would be eliminated. Hence, in the second denial when the Self was
revived, the Ego and Emotions are missing —– or came under the control. Self itself looks the same though )
T—
In the zoology, to define whether the particular animal can recognize the self / if the conscious
of SELF exist in them, scientist use a mirror to observe their behaviour. (If the animal can see a reflection
of him as him or the other animal —– and become aggressive or see behind of mirror etc )
Just to be the Self as he was born, is easy as all the animal is living in this way. But able to have the
conscious of Self and able to differentiate behavior ( control ) needs to have much evolved brain.
Control what ? Control, mainly the instincts, and suppress the emotion. Then able to do something
more complicated projects / preconceived plan with observation feed-back and judgments.
To control the behavior in order to have a harmony with environment, the observation of outer world is
of cause essential, and in the same time observation of the Self too. This is the Self-conscious.
So that the matter is if the one can detach the view-point and watch the Self from a distance, objectively.
But, this is nothing but a Self alienation. This Self alienation is the trade-off, necessary compromise to
survive in the social environment. Hence, we social animal / human being was forced to live with the watchful
eyes of the Self. Then, where is the estranged True Self, became a perpetual conundrum.
—
In the Buddhism, the matter of Self and the Selflessness seemed to be a bit over emphasized because of
Buddha denied its existence in the first place, in order to differentiate with the popular Vedic teachings.
But, as I explained afore, the restrain of the raw Self / Ego is the basic rule to live in the society.
( So, we often use the expression ” Play a roll ” ( Away from being in the Self )
Even in a pack of the animal, pecking order (control of the greed ) or breeding right of the alpha-male
(control of the sexual desire) etc —— the denial of one’s Ego is the essential rules of the survival.
Buddhism is not asking the follower to do anything special —— just be a sensible member of the society.
Same apply to the Ten Commandments, it didn’t need to be given by the God. It exist long before the Myth
was invented. Otherwise the primitive society could be fallen into disarray and couldn’t be survived.
—
Japanese language having one of the most complicated honorific expression system.
How polite, has to be exactly matched to the social scale —- too polite to a junior person mean blunt despise.
( Even a man of respectable position in his forties could lose the trust in just one word . —— I still regret
a word to my professor when I was 25 —— even if it was meant to be a joke )
So that, it is very easy to assess the quality of the person (and their up bringing / family ) just see the wording
in a letter or listen the tongue. —- trouble is, the person may not aware the situation and what he is speaking.
Here, the clear eyes to see the Self and the reference data to judge the situation is essential.
Yet True Self is ever more reclusive.

Science of Mantra
Unlike what I wrote somewhere “Buddhism never contradict Science” if anybody read the Mantras
everybody can see it just as a piles of piles of bullshit. One description contradict to other or utterly
absurd logic etc etc (such as devils chasing wondering dead soul in the hell “therefore blah blah —-” 😀
Oh, C’mon it’s not a logic —– So, what is this metaphor meant for ? ? ? )
So, Why I saw them ” Scientific” was, ——– the matter is not the contents in the Mantra but the
effects it causes and evoke the mind ——- instead of blindly accept a Dogma.
If anybody read Abidharma cosa Mantra (provided not fallen into asleep. 😀 ) it will definitely
wear out the one’s mind, exactly same effect to chant the name of Mantra thousand times.
Analyzing the existences and the perception and categorizing them into thousand of classification
——- and to read them through ( What a hell ) definitely make the person to abandon the thinking
words and words will become just the patterns passing through the eye field.
Exactly same as a typist. Just type the chain of words. Just let them go. Don’t think.
This, well thought-out psychological effects are amazingly scientific. —– Akin to the process of
blow heat the malachite with charcoal and to get the copper metal. Long (in deed) before the
mankind knows the carbon in the charcoal reduct the oxygen from copper-oxide —– from
the observation then try and test and establish the method is nothing but the rational science.
—— So, unmistakably on the time of it was written ” To study this Abhidharma is the way to attain nirvana”
( in hard way —— and not very good to the eyes 😀 )
( PS : Earley version of Buddhist Mantras such as Pali Canon is far shorter though always having repeating
——- phrase, which was meant to be recited ( It’s in the poetry form) —— by reciting them repeatedly
——- its goes down deep into a person’s subconscious, hence it will become automatic to recite (without
——-thinking) thus able to attain state of Mushin (Selflessness) —– So, some described it ” Purify the Soul “.
Without shouting the Dogma, still able to convert one’s mind by observing the psychological effect is
nothing but the scientific approach.

Great —– or Rubbish ?
One of my friend who is a Computer-Otaku read the latest three posts in my blog (this blog 🙂 )
And questioned me ” Obviously you are not try to sell anything by the spin, though what actually
you are appealing ? Try to expose flaw of Buddhism or How it is useless ? “.
———— ” Yes I know. You are absolutely right though, this is what the very Buddhism is.
I’m trying to show it “ ” Show what ? ” ” Paradox in Buddhism “ ” Such as ? “
” All about Buddhism is in its state of Musin.
To be in absolute Mushin, one can not have even a notion of Buddhism or any expectation.
Expect its benefit or super natural power is nothing but the one’s greed and the arrogance.
Expect benefit such as I can change and find true Self and get Enlightenment is one’s thinking.
And see the Buddhism in such expectation is nothing but a delusion.
All the benefit and the phenomena of the Buddhism would come beyond this, never before.
So, it may come 10 years later or may never come “
” What a mean religion isn’t it ” ” That’s why it was seen as an Enigma “ ” Rubbish “
——— ” Ha ha ha, So, somewhere in the earliest post saying Dog Shit “
” How many people ever reached Enlightenment ? ” ” I guess, historically may be only handful “
” What ? In whole Buddhism history ? ” ” I think so, may be less than 100 “
” Utterly Rubbish isn’t it ” ” So, it’s a Dog Shit. Ha ha ha 😀 “
” So that, it’s really Great, isn’t it “
” So, you are selling iPad saying Don’t expect this one would work “ ” Thaaaat’s right. And
when people smashed it, it start working and show all the fancy things “
” That’s nice. So, this is the Zen ? “ ” Thaaaaaat’s right ! “ ” How fascinating ” 😀
TalkTalk
Life as a Zenist is not a guaranty to be trouble-free. To do anything we may stumble trouble.
As I’m making kinetic sculpture I needed to capture moving image, video clip ( I’ve put them into Youtube /
Kinetorori, was just byproduct ) So, I needed to edit or convert the video signal with new program or
downloaded program etc, by which my PC was pushed into hyper clock speed etc etc.
Then the PC started to malfunction, converting unknown video signal behind the other task —— ? ? ?
In the same time my broadband connection ( which has been getting poorer performance ) was stopped.
I thought my PC was corrupted. So, I tried everything, re-loaded program or restore the program by
setting to the back dated state, etc etc ——–.
On the end I bought a new laptop with hefty cost. 😀 ( This was much more a comedy than an angry situation
—— how miserable the life in the techno society is ) ——- Then I discovered the trouble of net connection is
still there, its mean it has been caused by the broadband provider TalkTalk. ( They looks cheap though, with
hidden charge of paper billing, it become nothing cheaper at all )
To solve the problem, it took two days phone calls costed me £20, while making strange access to the
program and administrative setting myself etc ( Why they can’t do this with their set-up CD-Rom ? Wasn’t
this what I paid for them to set-up on the beginning ? )
———————
I remember the words of adventure journalist Katsuich Honda who made amazing reports in 60th, 70th from
remote corner of the earth, saying ” People accusing us risking the accidents though, if anyone want
to have no accident, stay in their bed. The one who does nothing wouldn’t cause any accident “.
Yet, stay in the bed may causes bed-sore. Do anything may invite the trouble though, this is what the life is.
To deal with recent trouble, I learned a lot. To restore and recover the previous setting by going back-dated
state and undo it ( back again to present date ), unauthorized ( by Microsoft ) program also disappear etc.
—————- Still, on the end, I got one more lap-top which I may use only for the image processing .
( to see and say bright side 😀 )
The beauty to be a Zenist is, we can see even ourselves with detached eyes and think
” Oh, poor Yoshizen, what a hustle you are having, but why not try this way ?” ——-We can not be drowned
by a flush-flood but might be able to do surfing on its torrent. ——– Really ? Ha ha ha 😀
SELF and PHOTO II
There was rather interesting story behind of previous post “Find the SELF by your Camera”.
Many years ago, I gave the photographic training to a young photographer to become professional.
After staying this country while taking my tuition he went back Japan and came back with 6 months worth
of photos which he piled up for various subjects.
While reviewing those photos, I made them into 4 groups according to his mental state then, to show
without conscious how our eyes and the way to photograph change. He was horrified with its accuracy.
How do I know and how the photo shows such differences.
———————
As we have a sense to sniff out the atmosphere, we can see it even in a photograph in one grance.
It is the matter of how we can open the mind and able to expose the sensory of subconscious,
which is what people calls sixth sense.
Atmosphere of the place change moment to moment, and at what moment the photographer click,
makes the difference. The professionals can, not only able to capture its moment, but also know the
way to enhance or exaggerate it. This is how they can stay in business while derivering a requirement.
Yet still the result may be influenced by the mental state of him as well.
When photographer hunting around something interesting image, his interest, knowledge or taste would
be exactly appeared in the photos. ———– One occasion, I and a female editor of a Japanese magazine
went to a famous antique market (after the assignment had completed).
While seeing and photographing mountain of curious objects and people I noticed, this middle-aged
editor got strange taste, not only photographing old or looks somewhat miserable person, but always
stop the eyes onto peculiar metal object such as tools or surgical instruments or funny shaped Victorian
ceramic toilet utensils.—— ? ? ? —– I asked her “You got quite peculiar taste, is it related to SM (Sado-
Masochistic) practice or fantasy ?” She blushed red and said “How did you know” “Its bloody obvious”.
———- When aforesaid young photographer faced this analysis he said “Oh, no, I became too
conscious, I can’t take picture any more” ” What ? Waite a moment, Photography was your
self-expression, wasn’t it ? So, whats wrong to show your SELF ?”
To express a part of SELF which he want to show off is OK, but without his conscious, something
leaking out is not well come ———– Human being is a very self-conscious egoistic animal. 😀
Even if the person is well aware, ” I’m doing shady” yet still captured by CCTV and face the evidential
photo ” This is you in a shade” is hard to swallow.
So, to be a good Buddhist, first of all, either clean the act or accept “I’m not clean person” and make up
the mind to accept the consequence.
———– Though, live in the dirt is not necessary too bad, you know. 😀
London Marathon
Last weekend I’ve joined an invigoration party for a runner of London Marathon, went to the
course side in Dock Land in the morning, taking my camera with me.
Captured top runners, few Japanese runners and fun-runners. ——- then, I waited and waited for our
hero to come, while watching and clicking tens of thousands of the fun-runners photos for many hours.
The trouble was, I didn’t know what kind of guise he is wearing. Apparently we had phone
communication with him which saying ” I’ll be there in 10 minutes” again and again, always
another 10 minutes. ? ? ? ——- May be the time was kept stretching ahead of him as Einstein predicted.
This must be the revers of Xenon’s Paradox ( Arrow never able to hit Achilles) 😀
————————–
While waiting him, a pretty young lady spoke to me saying, she wants to see my dancing as she is a dancer
herself—— it seemed she hard the rumor from her friend who has seen my dancing in somewhere.
I told her to contact me through my blog, as this blog will come up on top of Google search, just by typing
“yoshizen”——it must be the easiest way to remember. ——- May be I should have talked her more, and
pay more attention to the pretty lady though, I had a task to take picture of my friend running, who may
appear in any moment (and needs to find him among the crowd, in distance)——– m m m.
———————–
Zen works only to the task on front of the eyes or a thing in the hand.
Other than that, which exist in the mind should be treated as a delusion or a noise.
And I was in the fully minded state of capturing the runner—— not a young lady. (How shame ! 😀 )
Someone may say ” What happened the Open-mind” or ” Just receive it, what so ever comes—– which
could be a crossing point of the Karma” ——- well well well, I may say, ” As it’s happened when I was
in the fully minded state in photography, but as it happened in not very convenient time —— its mean
the Dharma was not very keen to this. ———(so-called not very promising encounter).
Any how, at last our man David has come with 50 kg load of back-pack. (seems car battery etc was loaded)
———- Why needed to carry 50 kg on the back to run 26 miles marathon ?
No reason. It’s like an engagement of 60th Existentialist. This is the Absurd theater.
Most of the people just run and it is hard enough. Though, in the same time “Why not with 50 kg on the back”
( heavier lord than the Army runners carrying). Still, Just Do It. Don’t think too much.
Without reason, someone may born in a remote corner of Africa, and may need to fetch 20 kg of water
every day while walking 10 miles bare foot. This is the life there, the one has to accept, without choice.
So, we in the middle of Stone age London, invent something out of any rationality, and do it as imperative.
( You know, 50 kg is pretty heavy and 26 miles is quite a distance ——– how nice 😀 )
This is why I like this group of people / Spacehijackers.
As soon as he appeared in sight, he was sieged by the members and bathed by beers, fed pizza ——-
and went on yet another 6 miles. Good boy, Good boy !
(Though, I haven’t heard the news, he got the finishing line. ——- Has anybody seen him collapsed
on the side of the road ? ) Ha Ha Ha 😀 ( ——-> PS: Please see the comment)
