I now realize that sometimes things do return back to normal. Well actually its better than it used to be, but still in a sense back to normal. The other is back in town and we can now have jam sessions and gaming sessions like we always did. Except we're playing Fifa 09 instead of 05 and metal gear sold 5 instead of 2. Its good to see that some good things in life do return and not lost forever.

After monving into my new place (well, I've been here a couple of months now), thanks to the other, I now have furniture in the house. Its quite cozy here and a good place to hang out in. I have a sore back but its a lingering pain from the day before and not one that started because of the moving. Its funny, one of my neighbors saw me moving furniture and asked "are you moving in?" Thats how well I know my neighbors, I've already been here for 2 months and never met her before. It must have something to do with the winter! I feel at home in this place and feel like I could stay in here for days without a complaint.

The day didn't start off as planned, but then turned out alright, so that was good. Thrifty decided to let me know this morning that the vehicle I had rented online for the move, was actually unavailable today! Great, now I have to find another ute, when I already had such a hard time finding one! So I started calling all over town and in this small city, there was not a single ute or truck available. Luckily Budget at the airport had a ute that would be perfect for the mission. Greggles was kind enough to give me hand, so we drove down there and got it and got to the others place by 11 as planned. Sometimes things just work out and I'm glad it did. Greggles proved to the other and I that he had brilliant skills at furniture tetris! He somehow managed to fit it all nicely into the the back so that it was all secure. We did the entire thing in under an hour and we were off! I never thought that moving could be fun, but we had some fun today. Now that I think of it, I should have taken a picture of his brilliant work. He definately is smarter than he looks :P. Thanks to both the guys for helping me out.

A most unusual day

I peed in a cup and then I got felt up by a Doctor.

A most unusual day indeed!

I'm whistling as I cross the street

And I am not going to think twice, thank you very much. So until the clock runs out again.

So in light of recent events I have started keeping blognotes again, so rejoice people of the world!!!

I do realise how precious time is. It is the one thing that we will never ever get back. I even alluded to this in one of the better songs I wrote. However in Sydney I was just frustrated with it. I had no time outside of work and I was always rushing and annoyed. However, with this new job, I have SO much more time outside of work. I could even take up a new hobby!! Haha although I should probably unpack my guitars and get going again, I know it's been too long and my skills would have suffered.

May I just say Internet Explorer 8 SUCKS. Why the hell would you make a browser with options that you cannot change after you've made the initial settings?! Absolute CRAP Microsoft, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Upgrades are meant to IMPROVE on the product, you idiots!

Man I have totally let myself go! I have not been to the gym nor exercised in a week and I have been eating like a pig!! This will not be helped when I go to my sister's tomorrow for take out dinner. Oh well at least I will be home to relax then.

I like the snooze function. I never really used it until I started working. On my mobile my snooze runs for 10 mins which was PERFECT cause it felt like 30 mins when I drifted back to sleep. But on my alarm clock at home, it runs for 9 mins, which just throws EVERYTHING off balance, cause it actually feels like 9 mins. Who would have known that 60 seconds more sleep could make such a big difference?

Things have been surreal for me for a while, and I feel like I'm in Office Space, after the main guy gets hypnotised but never snaps out of it. Things are great, they really are. I hope I don't snap out of this.

Till next time folks, enjoy!

Thoughts

Just like they should be.

Good to see the other blogging in fine fashion and I would like to prepare some responses for his posts tomorrow when I get back from work.

Work is interesting, I will comment in-depth at a later time.

So my home is a mess, I haven't unpacked a damn thing except for the essentials. So I'm still on the old comp (after being fixed by me) and surfing the net on crappy cable broadband. Oh well, it'll do, it's not like I need to be downloading anything. I have plenty of things to watch and do.

I think I might just go on this till the clock runs out.

You know back in Sydney I felt isolated and somewhat alienated (from what, I don't know), but here, this is but a half-life. I am not really living here.

Just been playing some old school games to pass the time, Fifa 04 and Swat 4. It's been a good trip down nostalgia lane. But memories do not back so quickly to everyone.

Anyway, that's it for now. Bed time for me!

To stress and drive?

I'm nearing the age of 25. Yes, its true. I'm almost a quarter of a century old. Have I accomplished enough? Accomplished is a relative term. Regret is more manageable. I don't think I'll dwell on that much, it will only bring unhappiness. Have I done enough? There is a lot that I have done in my life. Lots that I am proud of and about the same amount that I am not proud of. All of these things make me who I am today. I will continue to evolve and grow till I die. To me what matters in the end is that I can look myself in the mirror and feel that I have lived an honest life, remembered by a few and that my life mattered to at least someone. Will this song live on long after we die?

I think in the last couple of years, I'd forgotten how to put my thoughts down on paper. Or somehow I was lost inside my own head, trying to decipher what I'm thinking. That is one of the fundamental reasons I haven't posted in the way that I had in the past. Or the fact that I could not for a while look at myself in the mirror in the manner that I just described above. None of it matters anymore. The only thing that’s important is what I'm doing with this moment that we live in. Now.

That was a tangent that I needed to express somewhere along the line. Now its out of the way.

Yes, I am almost a quarter of a century old. I think its funny that people expect me to know certain things by this age. It is unacceptable to most that I don't know how to drive. Never do they realize that for this one thing that I cannot do, I make up with a bunch of other things that I can do. How does that get overlooked? Most men wonder why the hell I haven't bothered; as they see it as the best past time in the world. Women wonder what kind of a man I am. Regardless, it baffles most. I will now attempt to rationalize why I haven't bothered.

1) The life I have lead, the constant changing of location, the boarding schools, living on my own; rarely gives you the opportunity to master skills such as driving. I went to school in the most remote of locations in the world. The only from of transport you had was you feet. Those were the years that most average individuals learn to drive during those years.

2) Ever thought for a second that I just don't want to drive? That I'm not interested in cars, and that it feels like a major chore to me? Because, this too is true. I'm quite a submissive person. I'd be happy one day to find a girl who would decide where to go and take the wheel and steer.

3) Lastly (for the time being), I have had a few car crashes that I should not have walked away from. I am still alive, and don't have much damage to remind me of those either. I consider myself lucky, for me to be able to simply walk away from it all. So mainly, I'd like stay out of these machines as much as possible.

Due to these reasons, I live my life differently to others. I have just identified one particular benefit- which is why I went on this rant.

Most people go through so much stress when they are in their cars. They are worried about the people in other lanes; who are just about to make mistakes. Then they get angry at other peoples incompetence. Stressed that they are running late, causing them to speed. Road rage. Annoyed with the long queue that awaits them in front. Why would anyone chooses to bring this much torture on themselves?

A friend of mine tells me that I have no idea the sort of freedom that is brought with the ability to drive. This might be true in your free time, but your daily routines (going to work at peak hour) is anything but freedom. You are just causing more stress in your life!

I live near work. I walk there. I don’t have to bother about an of the stresses that revolve around driving, the road, or the time. Only person that matters in the morning is me. Not the millions of people all needing to get somewhere in their own cars. I am already a mental clutter boy. I don’t need the stress of driving. My everyday routine is closer to freedom than your car ever will be…

The outtakes of reason do not amount to justice

Well this is interesting. It has been so long since my last post that I have STACKS to fill you in on!

In true business writing, here is a summary:

• I quit my job
• I got another job
• I have moved back home
• I start work tomorrow
• My new pay rise amounts to 10k

So overall, things are looking like I'm going to have a lot more free time than I used to so that's a plus. I guess it negates having to live back at home again with no privacy. But that's alright, because I will be saving a hell of a lot more, especially with the pay increase.

This also means that I'll have more time to blog, so yay!! The blog appears weirdly on my old comp though, so I'll get a new net connection and set up my computer and all will be good to go! Till then folks!
