It's fun learning to snowboard as soon as you get it right. I kept panicking when I started to turn as I sped up, and this was just on the training slope. I also didn't lean onto the leading front foot, which is used for turning. When I finally relaxed and let the feet do the worked, it came about so easily.
Committing to each turn was simply a confidence thing and you needed to be sure of yourself, in an unforced fashion. A put off was sharing the slope with fast skiers and snowboarders, but you couldn't think of that too much.
The Antics - I nearly went in between a lady's skiing legs, went sideways a shave almost too close to a snowboard, and fell over on the hard compacted snow. You just can't slow down going sideways - well maybe you can by turning up the hill, but then you fall backwards/forwards depending on which way you are facing.
I'm still not Main Slope Ready at The snow Centre, in Hemel, but that's because it's only my 2nd lesson.
If you ever think of snowboarding/skiing, take a spare t-shirt as you'll be soaking wet from over heating in the waterproofs.

Astrology - Personal Findings
I read a lot of books on astrology and find to recognise myself with the information I see. I do not like the daily horoscopes but prefer to realize my self, based on planetry influences. I know of 4 signs. Sun, Ascendant, Moon, Venus. The rest are planet signs etc and is too much to know at once. I also see an interest that compatibility is not just the Sun sign (westerners only see of having the one). Compatibility, relationship wise, would be determined based on ALL of the signs not just the Sun sign.
I have Sun in Aries, Libra in Ascendant, Venus in Pisces, and Moon in Cancer. The basic sign being Aries. The rising sign edits the basic sign as the translator from thought to action. If I had 'Double Aries' it would be the case of 'what you see is what you get'. My rising sign is opposite, which makes me a quiet and sensitive type of Aries, with less exertive qualities than usual.
With the Venus in Pisces, I tend to prefer slow and meaningful enjoyment, getting deep interests and knowhow into whatever I get myself into. The moon in Cancer indicates my way of living, as I tend to look forward to change and hate a dirty, messy squalor of a home.
Recent Flying Dream only 6'' off the ground!
I dreamt I was flying, but not very high off the ground. It was the closest to reality dream I have ever had. I could have been on ice sliding it was that close to the ground, but definately the same free and easy glide I got from higher flying dreams when younger.
It really pays to go to bed early (10.30pm), have dinner between ^ and 7pm and tidy the bedroom.
I also did new ballet beginners exercise which was about learning a routine. Wow, I felt good, so good I awoke at 5pm, had to go back to sleep though. Shame the day got worse, especially taking the mess back up to the loft at my parents going up steep ladder with heavy boxes.
Bed time after 11pm starts to degrade in quality and after 1 to 1:30pm is pure punishment for at least the next day. The effects are a lot like a hangover that gets WORSE the day goes on.
It's 2pm now because I did nothing out and about, felt tired with withdrawn feelings, so watched TV since 6pm. I seem to fail on Day off from work - too much free will I suppose, no time restrictions etc.

General Streaming Diary June 2013 Black Water Snake
Conditions:
Warm but neither hot or cold
It's the mad season where weiryness kicks in when depth is lost a little during busy times working for a Garden Centre. The back weakens in places and motivation lost, so it's time to explore the inner self when this comes about. Also, it's good to put a freeze to over exersion and maybe not do any thing but watch something pleasant on TV.
I've been drawn to the hidden aspects of life since I can remember, and found a lot of interest in researching on nearly any subject, or simply jotting down my findings. Exploring through detail, rather than just moving body has got me to believe 'You don't have to travel by body to explore new things'. There are times you really do need to get out, like booked holidays etc. I doesn't always mean you'll be happy or comfortable - far from it, but a step into the unexpected makes life worth living that bit more.
I do lack in assersion but make up for ease of doing things and can give that to others too, like being helpful here and there. I do have a helping bane sector in the knowledge department, as I can only realistically remember recent things, and disregard unknowns to the point why bother. It's part and parcel to get negative feedback when you don't exactly known something and someone runs you down with your uncertainty. Better do just say, I don't really know, but I always feel helpless and unwise growing to the point of worry and panic, maybe mentally sick under the pressure of the asker on a time budget.
Yes, negativity is like a sponge that's collects very easily, but it's like it turns to grease after a long while so clean it requires a bit more effort than usual. On the rebound, having friendly, kind people around keeps the negative build up in check thus a team/social barrier is created to repel the bad stuff from demoralising your goodness.
So it means there are the neutrals - content or not looking for trouble, the hoovers - and difficulty or weakness is bullied (they can be quite intelligent and throw you of if they think they are at a knowing advantage, and start the bullying tactics, like unearned discounts and ridiculous questions designed to weaken your ability to judge correctly), and finally the blessed light bulbs, who seem to shine, almost regardless of weather, and provide food to eat for the quiet types who seem to be always hungry.
We are talking about the external boomers, the ones who are big and warm in energy. They can be so needed when it gets a bit too quiet, for balance is the key to sustaining a good harmony.

Cold Days and facing the issue
I may be a misery, but I feel that living in the UK the weather for the last few years has been rubbish. I really need to live in a nice +15 C min climate where it is possible to feel alive. The cold not only ruins my mood but I feel blunt and unemotional. I would give up my poor existance for living somewhere warmer, but never had the courage to do so.
I f you happen to read this, let me know of anyone who has sought to live in a more comfortable part of the world. I would like to hear how other people get on away from the UK.
I have always found myself to be weak on the outside but strong on the inside, meaning I am sensitive to the outside world, but feel strong within.

Lunchtime Sports
I have, for the past three years, got into doing exercise at lunchtime on my workdays. As I had tense energy I felt the need to exert excess energy built up, as well as a healthy dose of fresh air. I started just kicking the ball aiming for the goal, made of old railway sleepers. This proved to be good as rebounding kept the game going. I used to do this for up to 15 mins, but since the slash in lunchtime, 1 hour to 30mins, I almost sacrifice lunch just for the exercise.
I progressed my skills to a point where I became Master. I was a Master of unorthodox moves which, when done well, created spectacularly challenging tricks. I could never practice the same skill so I allowed myself to flow between tricks. Getting better by the year, I soon did some risky manovers and kept finding new moves everytime. I had an uncanny memory of every single move. I could put names to them.
My favourite was flicking up with the side of the shoe. Another would be a flying kick just timed to hit when the ball was falling. I've still yet to video myself doing these tricks, because I'm sure these are unique to myself. Any other trick is too boring for me.
I think most football tricksters can 'stomp' the ball from great heights. But I prefer to hold foot off ground and control for a combo into something else.
Pulling of a combo is all about flowing tricks into one moment. The best I've got is 2 or 3 and that's with good tricks. I could do easier tricks and make the combo last, this is less fun and challenging. It's only really a bonus to string tricks together. As they are diverse, they are almost incompatible.
