trike , birthdays and gunpower, treason and plot BOOM!!!

2006-03-21T17:45:42Z

well the current trike thing is going well

was approched to help sell and vw and robin relient trikes
the robin reliant was a no no
and also the chap was asking for too much for it
and so he is getting someone else to sell it for him ( thank god)
the vw trike is a different matter
it look really good and all and I got to get the pics tomorrow and then design the selling pitch document
should do well as the person it belongs to has some grounding in reality
in my researches on the type and prices I came across a few which were really nice and I has got me thinking about purchasing one
saw some which really impressed me
here is a pic of one which was really my style

both of these images were from a US trike company called http://www.ratraceproductions.com/

my birthday was on saturday

we went to the south bank and viewed the galleries over there (not the tate modern, Have already been there recently and besides it gets too busy at the weekend)
my favourite was the barge gallery, just behind the oxo building
a very good collection of modern art
One of my friends sister has a instalation inside and was one of the reasons to go

afterwards we postpone our trip to see v for vendetta until sunday
lindy was not feeling very well
but she was a lot better the next day
V for Vendetta was surprisingly good
I am not one who really listens to critics as sometimes their viewpoint and tastes is too narrow and quite pomposte
I liked some of the re-writes, upadting the classic graphic novel from a 80s thatcherite point of view to a post blairist/ george bush world
the overall message and story is still the same and it was also well casted (even though I still have some reserves over
natalie portman
She seems to be trying too hard , to appear as a "REAL" actress
She doesn't relax until over half-way in the film
The real point for me is how easliy this could still happen
especially in a world where c list celebs are more inportant than real life events across the globe
(the new strongbow advert taps into this point as well lol)
so until the revolution....
don't surrender!! never give up
stand up for what you believe in!!
Be yourself!!!

life is good ... so far????

2006-03-03T21:24:51Z

well
the charity work is progressing very well
we were very slow after christmas but now myself and several of my members are really keen on what we can create here
We have been to so many meetings, courses etc including a course on PR (SPIN lol)
this has confirmed my suspicions on how the media REALLY works and also proved to be very useful to boot
I've also joined a gym finally
been going every other day so far and it is really great
apart from getting me back to a healthy state and pro active, it also has improved my confidence and focus
would recomend this to anyone/everyone
because of all this I have now made time of other stuff as well
recently I finally got rid of an old fridge freezer which my parents gave to me
it hasn't worked for years but what a difference this has made
I'm also gonna have another go at throwing away more stuff that i do not want or need
been also attending a buddhist group, which even though I'm not a follower of their sect, it has proved to be really helpful as well meeting new and refreshing company and opinions
would love to go to a gig
not been out in that way for years now and I do miss it

been to a friends gig which was in notting hill
it was for a launch for a chopper bike /road movie
that was fun and had couple of hotrods
and a few custom bikes inculded
music, company, drinks, film was all good
would like to go to the hotrod meeting at ace cafe
well in love with that sort of vehicle
oh well one day.....
until next time
c u around, soakin in the moon rays

currently nothin but something

2005-11-21T12:05:00Z

well it's been a while i wrote anything
so here goes
Since coming back I've started to apply for work in the state, particular in north cali
this is still an ongoing project and a long term goal
In the meantime I have carried on with my idea but about 2 months ago I had a chance encounter
I went with lindy to a basic Photoshop course in the Caledonian road area
This was quite a good course for her and I was quite curious how it was being presented
I ended up helping out the lecturer by show the table I was on how to do certain procedures etc
I found this to be of great fun and help, also it kept my teaching skills fresh
Because of the help I gave, one of the students was a artist and we had a brief conversation about what I wanted to achieve
and she suggested to me to set my project as a charity
She then invited Lindy and I back to her studio nearby and proceed to show me the option available
Now this took my project from being a possible to being actual
Since then I have now got about 11 members and in the process of completing the plan and producing a audit trail
If everything goes according to schedule I should have it up and running in 6 months
I am very please with this I must say
I am also now a life coach and mentor for culture arts navigator program
It seems most people I encounter have only strengthen me in this field and has become more than a career change but an actual calling
funny how life goes
oh well
until later

You scored as A Slave To BDSM. Admit it, you like being tied up and being told you've been very naughty. You like teasing your partner and making them squirm, and not letting them be able to do anything about it. Some people think what you do is sick and disgusting, but you know it's all in good fun.

final part of my journey to the US for my sister's funeral

2005-07-19T14:20:34Z

this is well long overdue
the final part of my journey
got a few minutes spare
so here I go
This final week was quite different from the others
by this time most of my relatives had gone
My mother had to suddenly go back as well due to problems back in Jamaica
She manage to get a flight on the sunday following the cremation (2 days later)
but this was a 6am
most of saturday was to ferry family members back to the airport
so my mothers was the last one until I was due to go
I booked her flight on-line (well cool that feature I must admit .. did with all my family members and myself and tom as well)
then we prepared for the early rising
about 1pm the electricity suddenly went off (a power cut) which did not come on until 3:30am
so finally went back to sleep then woke up shortly around 4:30am to take my mother to the airport (must be there before the flight around 2 hrs but a I had already booked her in on-line we could get to the airport a bit later)
after our goodbyes tom and I went back for sleep

tom had to later that morning to go cycling (100 miles 10,000 feet) some sort of race
then he has to go to washington in place of my sister on monday
to lobby congress on behalf of the lance armstrong foundation
(this is to lobby funds to provide reasonable cancer care for those who are too poor to afford it in the us)
he was gone for most of the week for this
while he went cycling I was picked up and taken hiking by Rebecca and her husband Doug up by where they live
Rebecca is a clairvoyant and works from home (spritual healing and ryki)while looking after their daughter
Doug works in the biotech industry
they were very nice and I understood why my sister were great friends
after a bit of lunch we went hiking
the scenery around their area was mainly redwood forest with rolling hills and valleys off to the coast
with the mist rolling in from the pacific made it a bit chilly but after a bit of hiking this was not a problem
the main road which they live off is well known to bikers who does the century run
this is to do a 100 miles in 1 hour
of course this means a minimum of 100mph on this winding road and their have been quite a few fatalities as well as arrests especially at the weekends
while out Doug warned me about mountain lions and how to deal with them when encountered (make a lot of noise and wave my arms about to make an impression I am bigger than them)
while out we came across a mule without a rider
So i went to see if I could find the rider in case (s)he were hurt
I came across a cowboy who was looking for the mule
If seems that it ran away from a restaurant up the road
After reuniting him with his mule , I took a few pics

second update

2005-06-09T16:53:26Z

well sorry for not posting anything sooner
it has been very busy here
so what has gone on
ok...
first was the private viewing
this was very emotional
tom's parents and his brother's family and his mother's brother and daughter were there as well as the brit contingent
she looked very peaceful i must say
she was buried in her bridal gown and my mother had arranged an Anglican church funeral
the priest was called chip and tom told me he was also gay
my sister would of liked that as it has a sort of ironic twist to the proceeding
nothing is really normal out in the bay area (thank god)
chip was also very open minded to other religious practices which I found quite refreshing
there was a little bit of tension but all this was smoothed out in the end
then comes the actual funeral
now I found out that I was to be a Pall bearer
and also to read a transcript including one I wrote
this I had not expected
When we arrived at the church met more of tom & max's friends about 30 at that time
by the time the whole thing stared the church was full
It turned out that my sister had a major impact on the whole bio tech industry
about over a 100 people turned up
It looked like the bay area biotech industry had taken today off for my sister's funeral
I was in awe of my sister work and effect on the people
she did us all proud
as a footnote her neighbours attended as well as a post op tran-gender who looked like terrance stamp in "Priscilla"
once the whole funeral was finished we directed everyone to the celebration of max's life
while she went off to be cremated and we went to change (anyone wearing a tie was gonna get it snipped)

the celebration was really good
thanks to you guys for making it happen
had a lot of conversations with them all and gave advice /inspiration/and consonance
this was a very big test but I think I did ok
my mother was being a right trooper was well as tom
both were doing fine
my cousin winston and las were quite merry and were making fun of our host's (peter: very big in the biotech industry and a millionaire)
music collection and saying that they can take all comers on the pool table
I bonded with peter's kids as well as bob's daughter
they were telling me about how education at their schools were different
they were good kids
overall this was a good day

wednesday was shopping in redwood city and we also went to stanford uni
took some pics tom's mother's brother and daughter had to leave on this day which we went and dropped them off and said goodbye
on thursday
tom's brother and his family went back as well
dropped them off in the afternoon
then just chilled

friday was the day to get the ashes and intern it in a crypt within a mausoleum
Tom and my mother decided to split the ashes
some to go to Jamaica
some to come back to Tom's home and placed on their alter
but most was in the crypt
this was another emotional period but went smoothly (again led my father chip)
after this was completed we head down to a nice place tom knows of at the coast
it is called half moon bay
now any hitchcock fans would know that this is the name of the place in the birds
but this bay was not the one filmed
they just used to name
this was very nice and pleasant and quite old american
seems to be mainly an artisan quarter
but fun then we headed down to the distillery
this place was meant to be haunted(some tragic romance triangle) and was also a speakeasy during Prohibition
food was good and the view of the pacific was breathtaking
also just before we left I went down to take more pics and came across 3 raccoons
so got a good pic of them as well (someone had left food out and they were raiding the remains)
then we went home

well that's this part done for now
will do some more later
until then
this is greg signing out
bye

stateside log 1

2005-05-30T01:37:58Z

ok this is day 1 log of my time in San Francisco for my sister's funeral
We flew out of Heathrow Airport on a direct flight
my uncle Lass and I got a lift to the airport from cousin Paul while Elaine and Winston were coming down from Leichester
due to me forgetting my suit which we had to go back for we missed getting the best seats
the flight had a bit of a rough take-off but after that the flight was smooth overall

flight had changed quite a bit since I last used it
You now have on virgin atlantic your individual screen like you find in cars
plus instead of 1 movie choice you have about a dozen
I watched "Hotel Ruwanda", "A Life Aquatic" and "Football Factory"
all these were very good films and i will hopefully get "A Life Aquatic" and "Football Factory" on DVD in the future
service was excellent but the seating was far too cramped
the centre seats should only be 3 wide and every 5 rows removed and the extra space should be used to improve overall comfort and reduce injury
the flight was 9 1/2 hours
we landed about 13:30 local time (8 hours difference from the uk)
customs have got a bit more stricter but was overall ok
tom picked up up with his dad riding shotgun
His and my sister's place was wonderful
they live on the outskirts of Redwood City
a small city outside San Francisico
the scenery and the overall ambiance was beautiful and very calming
tom and I did a few errands and them settle down for real nice juicy steaks
I must admit these were best I ever tasted (had mine medium)
I also got told the rough schedule of the next few days events
bought some shampoo and my mother will be helping me to re-twist the new growth on my dreads
all is well if a bit crowded
the "brit contingent are staying in tom's house as well at a neighbours place who were kind to put us up
this I am very much obliged
until the next update
take care all
greg

You're the tough guy who gets the most zombie
kills. You make it most of the way, but die
heroically by sacrificing yourself and taking
out hundreds of zombies at the climax.

maxine betina seales yonker : epitaph

2005-05-22T09:39:25Z

Well in a state of shock here at the moment
my sister maxine has died
I am still waiting on info on how this happened as I spoke to her on friday and she seemed to be doing fine
don't really know what else to say atm but she will be missed by me my family, her husband and his family and many others who has met her
She had great spirit and strong will
she fought her condition as if she as some sort of battle-maiden
She never really believe that nothing was impossible and everything was attainable
She became the top in her field of biochemistry in a very short space of time
My sister did make a difference to the world
I will try to live up to her goals and make things better and with less fear
As brother and sister we had laughed together played, fought with and against each other but in the end she was my sister and I loved her and I will miss her light in this world
The only good thing about death is that she is now away from this world of pain and human pettiness and self inflicted misery
She is above all that now
She is now part of the wheel
Maxine I salute you
Brother Greg

a brief rundown of recent events

2005-05-17T10:48:33Z

well been a bit busy recently
first off
got several systems to diagnose
which one of them may also lead to more networking with new people
I love a challenge
need to write a proposal for a possible patron for my project of youth rehabilitation and training
this needs to be completed by next week
It has to be a 2 page proposal
included are my skills and experience and which ones are appropriate and can also be crossed over
this is really exciting for me as it can lead to bigger and better things

had to play a tornie on sunday
this went quite well but technology has moved on again
this means i need to upgrade to a new marker
the one I'm looking at is the intimidator alias (timmy alias)
with the infamous board installed
this should be around the £600 mark
got given one to use and it made a great difference to my game
and it is sooo much lighter and flexible as well
also the current situation of the team got discussed
and I'm still considering what to do
seems like a split may occur

got a dinner party to attend
but this will include the person who let me down recently
gonna play it by air and be shallow
something that I find quite hard to do
I sense there is a bit of meddling going on here as she was not mentioned as attending until today
I hate this sort of manipulation
don't need this sort of stuff in life as it is too short to be bothered with such trivial nonsense

2005-05-09T20:16:57Z

well I just confronted someone who I concidered as a friend who asked me to help them
and all I get is excuses
they could not even be bothered to bloodly well tell me that they came back
I KNOWN they were BACK since last week from vegas
they sent a mutual friend a more than 1 message
but not me
Well that's that then
hate time wasters and inconsiderate people
don't need people like that around me
life is toooooo short
that's it

this birthdate ting

2005-05-04T23:42:32Z

well thanks for this 1 angus
here is my result

Your Birthdate: March 18

Your birthday on the 18th day of the month suggests than you are one who can work well with a group, but still remain someone who needs to maintain individual identity.

There is a humanistic or philanthropic approach to business circumstances in which you find yourself.

You may have good executive abilities, as you are very much the organizer and administrator.

You are broad-minded, tolerant and generous; a compassionate person that can inspire others with imaginative ideas.

Some of your feelings may be expressed, but even more of them are apt to be repressed.

There is a lot of drama in your personality and in the way you express yourself to others.

Oddly enough, you don't expect as much in return as you give.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

what a cool and fun bank holiday weekend part 1: the klub upstairs at the garage

2005-05-04T12:03:42Z

WEll what a nice bank holiday
first :
the gig on friday
What a SCREAM!!!!
not laughed that much in ages
got in on a a roadie for my mates blues band
the gig was at the garage in the room above
downstairs in the main area was a punk gig
made laugh when we arrived, saw my first skinhead for ages
the crowd at the venue were a mixed bunch of ages races but had 1 thing in common
to have fun and larks
most were dressed in psycho-billy stylee
had tattoos and piercing (felt a bit naked not have a few tatt's
a few were goths
the gig comprised of 3 bands
my mate matt's blues-band called the voodoo vendors
my mate russ who orgainsed this psycho-billy night his band
the death valley surfers (http://www.deathvalleysurfers.co.uk/)
and lucifer star machine(http://www.luciferstarmachine.com/PunkRawk.htm)
the first band was lucifer star machine
they were all dressed in black (but not gothic)
their style was a cross between nick cave and bad news
they seems to be a big fan of the cramps... youuuuu gooottt gooood taste!!!!!!
they were comprised of 3 lead guitars (one was wearing a black masquerade mask)
a lead singer (with a look of cultivated sideburns and lots of tattoos)
and drummer (with a symbol which is stripping and a well abused drum-kit)
their set was full on and fun to watch
their sound loud and FAST!!!
then my mates blues band played the voodoo vendors
he told me he did't know he could play his songs so fast as he felt this is what the crowd wanted
everyone said that this band was really really good
then came russ'es band the death valley surfers
as they were getting ready russ suggested that they stuck black electrical tape on their faces so that they looked like lucifer star machine
this was really really funny
they then came on stage to the horse-guards gallop theme
their set was the funniest I have ever seen
All thought the gig people were loving it and getting faster and faster until it was like a frenzy
I must admit I have not been to a gig like this since the 80s
makes a refreshing change that some bands have still got an edge and enjoy the spectacle of giving a real good ol' rock n roll performance with stage antics
I will definitely go again
So thanks to all for a good night out and I still give a thought and laugh to myself
definite one to remember

Thank god she is well

2005-04-29T00:11:10Z

well a short update
Heard from my mum
She told me my sister is off the respirator
(she was heard saying " get these damn tubes off me" lol)
So it looks like the recent surgery has gone well
This is good news I must say but still a way to go
Just glad she is conscious
On a lighter note my Dvd's that I ordered a few day ago have arrived
I ordered the wicker man director's cut (one of my all time fav's) "and in the tree, there was a bird" lol
every time I now watch it I cannot stop myself from laughing at the islander's antics and it's effect on Edward Woodwood character's Police Sergeant Howie
also an ol' 80s classic and quite bizarre film too The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension
i have not seen this film in about 20 years and it is one of my fav's
Also it has a great cast of loony actors to boot
Later when I went to smiths to scenic if my mags have arrived I picked a copy of a biker movie classic
Hell's Angels in wheels with Jack Nickolson
I really like the early biker films and in the process of collecting them
got to get the easy rider Dvd next lol
Funny, most of that film genre seem to involve Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack apart from the Wild Ones which all know kind of started the genre and stared Marlon Brando
Oh and on Friday I will be down at the garage
With the psycho-billy night which a couple of mates are playing
Should be a rater fun night
Cannot wait
lol
until the next time
bye and let's be careful out there
;-)>
