By the way

I've turned on word verification for the comments, so that probably only real people can post, as opposed to the spammers trying to sell their weird wonder cream to turn those mosquito bites into juicy juicy mangoes ;)

So just watch for that when posting new comments.

Cheers.

crazy

What am I doing this late on a monday night? I should be sleeping but I'm not. Going to see friends is so much more better than going to work on time I say!

:)

I'm bored

Feast your eyes upon the sight of Krispy Kreme.

Yum yum.

Wada

Waah, I am so honoured to have such imperial presence on this such lowly blog.

Oh, and there was a hit from Singapore too, lah.

training

green bag girl
i see you standing there
so still and silent

shall i be graced by your countenance once more
before the week is done

Fly me to the moon

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

I thought that might read like something more elegant. The moon just looked like a massive melon in the sky, with all the bumps and rough stuff and everything. *sigh* So beautiful...

Welcome visitors

Ever wanted to know who might visit your site? Well I've asked myself this question a few times, and I really didn't know the answer... Until I found this new nifty tracking tool that incorporates Google's new map service! And so far it hadn't yielded any cool results yet but it did just today!

If you look at the maps, the points where there are pinkish blobs is where gvisit estimates people's vicinity was when they visited a site. Quite interesting isn't it. Now you'll really know if you're popular; or if you're really not. And it seems that I'm somewhere in between.

Nothing quite exotic though, as it seems the North Americans and Ahzzies (how the North American's pronounce Aussies) are the only ones to have visited in the past few hours.

So to those from Centreville, Virginia, salut! And a question as to why you actually stumbled upon this blog. I was expecting hits from the UK, but I'll post again if that happens ;)

Beeep

Ah crap, I'm currently worried that when I accidentally entered the intersection the light might have been red this morning :( But I do remember it being yellow when I passed it, I do! Well cameras don't lie so a fine comes in, I shall inspect those images carefully.

But I really don't like it when you're a certain distance from the lights, and it turns amber, and you have to decide whether you can or can't make it, or whether you can or can't brake >_<

Also the fine's like 200 bucks! That's 2 days work if I get fined, it just had to be that intersection with the red light camera didn't it. Yerr *shakes fist at Murphy's Law*

If the fine comes along then it would be one of those firsts I posted earlier, and boy hasn't this day gone reeeally slow...

One

No, this blog isn't a year old. And I'm not a year old either. You've gotta give me some credit at least for putting this blog up, right!? Even though I don't quite act my age sometimes...

My cousin turned 1 last week, and you can definitely hear it everytime you see her. Her learning to walk last week also changes everything now too. She can walk over and pretend to talk to you, or walk away and not want to talk to you (much like in her later teen years too, I'm guessing).

Can you remember the last time you did something for the first time? Try and do one this week!

Movies galore

I thought this weekend was a lazy one, but I did end up doing many things. I did watch a few movies out of DVD however, and this quote in it's entirety used in Coach Carter was the highlight of it:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

It was used in the context of a highschool basketball scenario, but can be applied to many aspects of life. The references to the God above was "edited" out of the movie, but it's a film, so what can you expect. But I believe it gives some sort of perspective of why the passage was originally written.

So are your deepest fears? I haven't really thought about what mine is. But I guess when people ask you that question you really just shrug it off and try not to think about those questions again. Like where do you want to be in 10 years? Or many long term questions like that. It's probably good to think about them as I would say I'm the person that does tend not to, but when you do it puts your current situation into perspective.

You're not just running a treadmill, wasting time until you figure out where you're actually going. Because you can't get to where you're going if you don't know where you want to go.

Man this post is getting deep. My time to shrug it off again.

Yippee!

It's 5:55 on a Friday, the sun is shining it's golden glow, and the weekend is upon us once more!
:)

Spring sprang sprong

So it's spring time once more. Time for the weather to get worse before getting better, and time for my nose to start blocking up just at the thought of hay. Isn't it lovely?

Driving the car home the other day, I got caught in traffic just before the train station closest to my house. They have the worst setting there; a roundabout with about 4 roads coming into it as well as electric trains and the VLine diesel trains running back and forth. During peak hour, it's not a pretty sight.

Being stationary for a period of time I looked around to amuse myself while I was waiting there and polluting this earth, and remembered that there was a block of land that didn't have a house on it. It just had grass there. I didn't really know why until I saw these two cute widdle lambs playing together. AWwww. Running around carefree in the middle of suburbia, so cute and fluffy and sweet.

Then right in front of my car, gahaahhhh!H!HG~HG@!@#$watTHe?!~ The lambs started getting it on! My car just happened to be the closest to them, and to reward me, one of them started to jump over the other (I'm guessing the male one) but not quite going over; and trying again and again!

I could only look away, and be in shock as this image of two cute little fluffy creatures behaving like their older more horny (I meant horny because Rams have horns!) relations. This image of cute little lambs in my head have now been destroyed! Sooooo wrong!

Well to Upeka the vet-to-be, I'm guessing this wasn't such a shock, and attributed it to "spring", so I guess I should be as jilted. I think I'll just drive a different way home tonight...

baaah.
