swings and roundabouts, reoccurant thoughts

"Just as the ripples on the pond that is my mind begin to settle and the early morning mist begins to be burnt away by the early morning sun. I begin to see clearly now as a new day rises."

I am a very strong believer in the saying that hard work clears the mind, a remedial task allowing the mind to switch off and sort itself out as the body executes the task. For me that task is rather oddly cleaning the kitchen i dunno if it's because i clean kitchens so often at work or what but it does seem to help.

I came out if it having thought of a new plan for a party at my house and feeling rather good. I was out with Paul in Manchester the other night and we got chatting about this and that and the conversation struck upon a subject that bothers me, i hate loose ends, a great plus of the recent party was that i seem to have sorted one of them. Argueing with people for me is one of those things that happens, it's a fact of life unfortunately, but that doesn't mean i have to like it. I fall out with people only because i have to and i'll freely admit that it does become one of those reoccurant thoughts as i strive for sleep at 3am. But that doesn't necessarily mean that i think i was wrong.

What has all that got to do with the opening statement, well a brick has been dropped into my tranquil water; why was it done? Pettyness? spite?? i'll leave that to you.
