Hello and welcome to my notes page. When away on competitions I have a note pad that I take with me which I scribble notes into to remind me of feelings, techniques, experience etc.. I have when I'm away. I also make notes of quotes, things I see and the places I go. One day I plan to write these notes into a book, but until this time I want to share some off my thoughts, feelings and notes with you to hopefully make a connection. I would like to hear any comments and questions you might have so please add a message to my discussion forum. (link above)

Best wishes to all, Jacey "24" Cashman

To leave the thread of all time
And let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find
The way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning
Still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
Its either this or that way
Its one way or the other
It should be one direction
It could be on reflection
The turn I have just taken
The turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end. Enya - Anywhere is (last verse)

Every skill, however complex - playing a beautiful piece of music or painting a water colour - can be analysed and broken down into more manageable steps.

A big cat saw a little cat chasing its tail and asked, "why are you chasing your tail so?" the kitten replied with "I have learned that the best thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is in my tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I will have happiness". The old cat said, "my son, I, too, have paid attention to the problems of the universe. I, too, have judge that happiness is in my tail. But, I have noticed that whenever I chase after it, it keeps running away from me, and when I go about my business, it just seems to come after me wherever I go".

This is very wise look at life, but also I have found this with competing. You can want something so much, and try so hard to achieve it and sometimes don't get there, but, when you just allow yourself to go with it and allow it to happen you seem to get what you want to achieve.

The picture below was taken at the French WAKO's and basically sums up what its all about.... Do you get what I mean?

Friends in France,

Clash of the Titans was held in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. From Crawley where I live this was nearly an 8 hour round trip for a 2minute team fight, yes one fight of 2 minutes and to watch my four team mates in their 2 minute fights. You may call this madness, you may call this dedication, I call this living. For those 120 seconds I feel and know that I'm alive.
"Don't start rationing life bit by bit when you can live it all at once"
Many Dream of great achievements,
very few wake up and achieve them
Don't just sit around waiting for your life to begin, while its all just slipping away.
