What the Romans REALLY did for us!

One of the more interesting pieces of advice I've ever received was from a fellow DJ who advised me: if I ever wanted to take deejaying further and consider it as a career, that I should go out at least once in the day in the week, so that the neighbours won't think I'm a "serial killer"!

I thought the advice strange till I started developing habits like: sleeping all day; leaving my house at night; carrying heavy equipment and loading it at the boot of taxis; and arriving home at the crack of dawn. Not knowing my neighbours might be another problem. When you are enjoying your hobby at unsociable hours, you don't have time to do the rounds to the neighbours to borrow a cup of sugar! It could be quite embarrassing for the neighbours to call the police, and having to explain to them that, you're just a deejay and that there's no need to be alarmed.

However, if such a misunderstanding is an occupational hazard, it is well worth it, as deejaying is one of the best careers/hobbies you could ever have.

Geezers for Jeezers

In the early 1980s, Peter Cushing was all over the TV screen. He was either: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Who, or tormenting Count Dracula with a crucifix or holy water. These days, it's Hollywood not Hammer House of Horror, and crucifixes and holy water have been replaced by weapons that are more up to date, like UV light and re-tractor blades! This crackdown on wearing religious symbols is a bit daft!

Maybe it's time that the humble crucifix had a comeback! We're used to seeing sportsmen kissing the crucifix after a victory, or just before an event for good luck, but it's a symbol that means a lot to the religious and irreligious alike. In a world where labels mean everything and people identify you based on what you wear or don't wear; being seen in the right threads can save you...

Courage

This week, I read an article in the Telegraph about courage. I can remember Comodus (Joaquin Phoenix's character) in the film Gladiator saying that there are different forms of courage; apparently it true. There physical courage: the type you need to get out of bed in the mornings; risk-taking courage: the type you need to ask that girl out who is way out of your league; Interperonal courage: the type you need to tell all your friends/girlfriends, that they're dumped; and there's Moral courage: that one that remind you that telling lies, is not good for you.
