About this blog

This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations. The blog transformed itself more into a personal investigation than being a blog on communication and therefore needed a new name.As a fencer, the name of this blog reflects how I write my thoughts into coherent stories, fence them off from all the sidepaths and rapidly go back and forth, covering various topics that interest me.

Somethings happening (50)
While I was in Switzerland, my friend Brigitte gave me a treatment. She is an osteopath and during the week I spent at her and her family’s house, she stuck many needles in my skin, three times in total. Don’t ask me what she treated exactly (I’m not even sure myself), but it has something to do with me not feeling so well after a stressfull situation last October. Normally you would receive 3 treatments with a week interval between treatments, but we squeezed it in 8 days time. Last Tuesday I received my 3rd one.
I didn’t notice any change or effect of the treatment in the beginning, but now I’m under the impression things are changing. For one, I woke up around 7am without the help of an alarm several times last week. I’m on an emotional rolercoaster as well, which is supposed to be a good sign of the treatment working.
Oh well, I can only hope that after a while I do feel better than before
