"It was one in the morning, a wind had risen and something curious too had happened; as if everyone in the city, simultaneously, had become sick of news of any kind; for thousands of newspaper pages blew through the small park on the way crosstown, blundered like pale bats against the trees, tangled themselves around the feet of Rooney and Rachel, and of a bum sleeping across the way. Millions of unread and useless words had come to a kind of life in Sheridan Square; while the two on the bench wove cross-talk of their own, oblivious, among them."

Happy.
Oh Thom, I love you and your video clips and your songs and your son's taste in cartoons and their influence on your videos.
Party, bonus.
Party, bonus.

Why so green and lonely?
In pitch dark i go walking in your landscape. Broken branches trip me as i speak. Just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there. There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck. Don't reach out. Steer away from these rocks, we'd be a walking disaster. Don't reach out!
I'm really starting to enjoy my attitude to life, it's something I think I take for granted. I don't ever imagine that there's something I CANNOT do or any of my list of goals that I couldn't possibly achieve, because why not? What is holding me back? There's nothing about me that makes me any less able than anyone who HAS made it! It's always refreshing to look at things this way. I mean this with no disrespect for their beliefs but the church near my house has a sign that says Time is Short, Eternity is Endless.
NOT EVEN! I think this is the wrong message to throw out there, unless you are trying to encourage people to waste the very short time each human being really has to live. You really do only get one shot, so if you got to the end of it all and you hadn't at least had a go at what you really wanted, or hung out with people you actually enjoyed the company of, or acted on a whim or just went with the flow, it's hard to think you wouldn't feel disappointed with what you had achieved (or hadn't in this case). Life is short and sweet with most delightful occurances, and some not so delightful ones happening all the time. It's exciting people, but needs to be made the most of and enjoyed!

To forget or not to forget?
The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned.
I would never choose to forget, because once the appropriate amount of time has passed you just have lovely memories and an understanding of how you have turned out the way you have. It's an interesting thought though to try and pick things that have happened that you would block out of your memory completely, I have a couple but they're not so bad when I think about not ever remembering them again, if that makes any sense at all!
I love Shaun Micallef too much, this is amazingly funny
It turns out I now have to blog for uni as well, that will be in relation to the actual course content but should anything actually interesting pop up I will be sure to put it in this blog as well. Surely something of interest will come up through this semester of pain. I'm on the home stretch of my university career and i'm finding it an intense amount of effort to get into it, I have absolutely no interest in going, except that the uni gang are there. Imagine if I had no uni pals, how difficult things would be then. Life is just too sweet at the moment, and it feels as though the hours that I'm in the lectures or tutes are just taking up precious time I could be using to actually do things. I now have all the skills and knowledge I needed from the course and am ready to take on the real world, but HOW? If only there were a class that would tell you exactly how to get what you want and become a legend at life, stat. Shaun Micallef would surely be the head of the department.

your confusion, my illusion
Oh joy! Almost a month since I blogged last which seems to have been no time at all. It's crazy how fast the weeks are flying by. I've had a long winded uni holiday, met lots of new people, started a new thing at the radio station, holiday-ed to Brisbane to catch up with disciples and returned to uni and it feels like no time has passed. If it is indeed the case that time flies whilst having fun, then it's ringing true for me.
Loads of great things are happening for me at the moment, and I'm going to put it down to a positive attitude, a clean slate, taking chances when they're given to me and spontaneity. It's great when you take a chance on something that could either be a flop or may open up a new exciting aspect to your life. I have a new, slight sense of self confidence but it's along the lines of Bill Murray's lovely compliment in lost in translation, You're Not Hopeless.
In order to show off Australia's incredibly talented indigenous folk we should start with this man and this song.
Gurrumul Yunupingu who has been blind since birth plays the guitar and has a voice that is completely haunting and absolutely enthralling. It's beautiful stuff and authentic Australian music that should be celebrated!
With thoughts of lovely music, blackbooks, shaun micallef, tea and money making tomorrow, I shall retire but I will return sooner than the last break! And hopefully feeling as wonderful as I do now.
