Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

Shaken out of bliss

I'm Sitting in the Garden bar in Zadar- this place is one of the nicest places I've ever been in. Absolutely magical- situated on the peninsula Which juts out into the adriatic, housing the town which has existed for 3000 years, and the atop of the ancient town walls. You look across the inlet to the mainland, watching the night time reflections dance on the water. 
I ordered a vanilla mojito- possibly the best cocktail I've ever had. The lounges are so comfortable I sunk back, listening to the amazing lounge beats and drifting into deep, dreamy relaxation. 
Then there was an electrical fault- and the music and lights went off, leaving the harsh cackling of the group of Spanish tourists nearby to scrape into your psyche, and completely jolting you out of that dream like state.
 Like a warm shower, easing all your aches  after a hard week, beginning to feel like maybe you'll morph into a human being again- then suddenly the water going cold - leaving you feeling shocked and ruining all that was.
From something which seemed so beautiful, like nothing you'd ever imagined possible, to a harsh reality which was perhaps thinly veiled in partly the moment, but largely only existing in your imagination. 
It seems the perfect metaphor for my life recently.
