This is the time of year when everyone wears a red poppy in the great and just remembrance of our glorious dead (not my choice of words, I've seen alot of dead and among the many words I could use descriptively 'glorious' is not one of them), so this is the time of year when such 'dead' are on my mind, those who died beside me and those who died at my hand, as well as the many many others.

This has one predictable affect, remembering these people and their 'passing' reminds me of the violence and ugliness associated with it. result = flashbacks.

This is also the time of year when every shop in the street is selling pyrotechnics to 10-year-olds, yes, fireworks season. Which means every street in every town is alive with the sound of fireworks, the result = flashbacks.

This is some seriously crappy timing, someone somewhere is having a fecking larf.

I know EXACTLY what you mean......
A woman tells her doctor, 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor says, 'It's old age.' The woman says, 'I want a second opinion.' The doctor says: 'Okay - you're ugly as well.'

The Sadist in me would enjoy that, well just for a milisecond but hey it isn't true, so the Sadist sulks.

I've wondered about the timing of this too. I know Remembrance Day is when it is for reasons to do with historic happenchance, but it is very noticable to me that it coincides roughly with other traditional seasons of remembrance - Halloween, Winternights, Samhain, Day of the Dead. Leaves die, the sap falls and everyone seems to turn their heads to look back. I don't feel the bang-bang/ death connection - and in that I'm lucky.
