Say YES!
"In the last couple of weeks, I've blown a bottle, learnt to knit, screenprinted my first T-shirt, and jumped out of a plane. It was serendipity that they happened in such quick succession, but it shows two things: a fundamental need to get away from computers, and also what happens when you start saying YES, rather than no."

Thank god you jumped out of that airplane or else I would definately have said you just turned gay.
You might want to hold back a little with that saying yes stuff, or else bottles might not be the only stuff getting blown.
Slag, I didn't know you knew Chris Heathcote. That post is lifted from his website. I thought the "fundamental need to get away from computers" quote was applicable to me. I thought the saying YES to participating in activities was a legitimate life philosophy, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Did you click on the blue bold, in all capital letters YES in the post?
I clicked on it and I can't get thet damned "Roundabout" out of my mind ever since.
There's more, c'mon and sing it with me..
