Judas was Good

It dawned on me that there was a lot of good in Judas Iscariot, even though he betrayed Jesus. There is evidence in the scriptures themselves, when Jesus claimed someone would betray him, the other disciples didn't know who it was. If he was a really bad person it would be obvious to the other disciples who it was. The other evidence is he hanged himself, if he was a psychopath or a sociopath he wouldn't care about what he did, he regretted what he did and eventually hung himself. 

I later learnt that he hung himself in a field he owned that no one knew about so he denied himself a burial because he knew no one would come for his body. He remained hanging on a rope until his corpse exploded and sprayed blood on the ground and lost its structural integrity to hang because of decomposition and dropped on the floor. His remains were then consumed by wild animals. The goodness of his heart had convicted him of his bad deeds and he responded to it by punishing himself in an extreme way. 

In my view he was an ordinary guy like myself that became decived by an evil spirit, he thought he was doing the right thing. He thought that Jesus would use his powers to escape from the mob that had come to arrest him and would provoke him to attack the Romans. 

I think every human has a capacity to become like Judas if they lean on their own understanding and think they are a good person. Don't trust your heart or your own values because you could be deceived just like Judas was. 

Recliner Nexus

I was looking at some recliners on Argos, I like the ones with head padding and electric foot risers in the base, the ones that have buttons on the side to raise your feet. If you have a comfortable seat, you can get a lot of stuff done and you can be a very good host to guests. If a visitor comes over they can put their feet up and have a coffee with syrup, sugar free syrup or normal fruity flavoured. 

If I stay active then the very limited time I have can be used to create many wonderful things. 

I saw a video of a professional fighter claiming he can beat up a chimpanzee. I would open a pub in his honour, call it The Disfigured fingerless chimp fighter or the Chimps Compost, The fighter that is chimp Compost. It won't end well. 

Julie Andrews is Alive

The other day there was a widespread memorials claiming Julie Andrews had passed away. I was wondering why it didn't appear in the mainstream news, it turns out she is alive, her death was a social media hoax. She is a major British actress so it would make sense for the mainstream news to cover her death.

Luckily for me I only mentioned the misinformation in one paragraph of my previous article so I was able to fix the error quickly. I think there is a song where she sings the hills are alive (with the sound of music). The truth as I know it is very important to me in this blog so I try to keep my information accurate with my limited time. 

If I do get something wrong then forgive me, my time is very limited and I get things wrong sometimes. My opinions are always true though even though they change quite often. 

Tragedy Inspires

It was news of a local death that persuaded me to buy an evercade Alpha instead of a super pocket. I was going to get a super pocket, then get the evercade alpha when the super pocket is worn out. Then I thought I should get the better system because I don't know how many days I have left in this world. I think death does that to people, it causes people to buy things they don't need. 

I remember playing crystal defender over and over again because I enjoyed setting up a defence force and using tactics to get maximum effect. I think Roguecraft dx sort of reminds me of that time,  I haven't played it yet but it comes across as that sort of game; where tactics is everything. Well, I finished 'full void', let's see if I can get hold of Roguecraft dx. 

Giant Phone

I noticed they installed some more 'BT Global' digital billboards. What's special is they're actually phones. They are advertising displays that use video screens but they also have a dial pad, microphone and speaker on the side to make a free call.  I tried it out and was able to call my mobile phone and hear my voice on my phone and I could also hear my voice on my the dial pad speaker. They installed one on Belmont Road near Uxbridge Station and I saw another one just outside High Wycombe Hospital. I thought it is a good idea because if someone is stranded and lost their possessions they can use the dial pad to get help. 

I also learnt that there is a London bus that uses a civil car park to turn around, the 331 from Uxbridge to Ruislip. When the 331 bus gets to Northwood station, the road is a dead-end and narrow so it needs to go into a car park at the end of the lane to turn around. I never saw a bus use a car park for cars to turn around before but I guess that is the only way they can keep the station bus stop open. 

What August 2026 Means to Me

August 2026 was very hot and dry, we had a series of heat waves and a prolonged drought that persisted until the last few days of the month. All the grass on the grass verges and in the parks were dead and dried up. The county resembled a dessert; there were a few wild fires in various places. 

I got to visit two places I haven't been to before, I went to the Twist museum in London and later I went to Ruislip Lido: pronounced "Ryslip Lee Dow". It is a lake that has sand added to one side of it to make it look like a cove but it isn't near the coast. There are two restaurants there by the water side and play areas. It costs nothing to enter the premises or to go on the beach. There is a miniature railway there that can take you from the entrance to the beach, they charge a small fee but you can walk across on the paths yourself if you wish. If you're a tourist to London, I recommend you visit that place because it is lovely. If you want to go there, just get off a train at 'Ruislip Manor' Station served by both the 'Metropolitan' and 'Piccadilly' lines and take a H13 bus from bus stop D on the high street. 

Towards the end of the month I learned that Dolly Parton passed away because she had terminal cancer, later I learnt that the British actor Tim curry also passed away. I don't know them personally so their death was mostly a reminder that we don't have long. Death is very unpredictable and it is almost impossible to know how many days of life I have left. A day or two after they died, there was a gigantic flash flood that swept through the centre of Nepal, I was later informed that it was caused by a large chunk of a glacier falling off the side of a mountain.

I don't know much, I can only make the most of every day until my time is up.  

Fake Beach

I went to Ruislip Lido for the first time the other day. It is a large lake with a lot of sand added at one end so it looks like a lagoon or a cove; its a very nice affect. If you're a tourist visiting London, it's worth visiting because it is free to enter the premises. 

To get there you just get off  at Ruislip Manor station served by both the Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line then walk up to Bus stop D for the H13 to Ruislip Lido, the bus terminates just outside the premises by Waters Edge Restaurant next to the lake. They have a mini train that will take to the other side where the synthetic/fake beach is or you can walk there on the woodland footpaths. 

I thought the terminal station by the beach is clever because it bends around to turn the train around so it doesn't need to reverse direction to go back. Here in England small talk is dead so it is sad I can't really talk about how cool I think that is. I would put the bend first then the station at the end of the bend and have it like that at both ends but it just looks cool to me the way it is.
