I’m feeling rather disconnected from both my old Australian friends and family and my new USA contacts cos I’m busy as and without net.
If you wanna say hello, please just shoot me an email or a DM on twitter or anything, cos I can respond to direct contact, but don’t have time to read my complete twitter timeline.
Watched most of every game of the 7 game series of Celtics vs Lakers.
I am extremely interested to get back into b’ball, but I need to find a local team here in western Massachusetts… I hope I can find one!
GO CELTICS!
What is so very right about America and so very wrong with Australia? National Pride. The fact that they ensure that at least SOME flags are made in the U.S.A!
Please Australia & Australians. Lift our game. Show a little self worth & pride. We are a marvelous nation with lots to be proud of and happy about.
As I sit on the Qantas Boeing 747-400, I’m reminded of the last view I had of Melboune, sun rising over a town, a fresh new day filled with possibilities.
It leads me to draw similie with my life, a new day has just begun in my life, full if possibility and adventures.
I’m glad I made the choices I did & met the friends I have, but now is a chance for me to be really really happy.
I look forward to the day where Julie, my soon to be wife & I can return to Australia to live permanently, but for now look out America, here we come!
You know what?
I don’t think I have one. I think I’m lucky enough to be in such an amazing relationship that nothing ‘special’ that either of us does is ‘saving’ the relationship whilst it is long distance.
If anything, I’d have to say listening is my ‘relationship’ tip.
I was up late, decided to go for a long drive.. I ended up at the Reefton Spur past Warburton, Victoria.
It has to be the best road I’ve ever driven, and one of my two favourite roads in all of Victoria, the other being the Great Ocean Road.
The camera was my iPhone 3GS mounted on a Kensington car mount. It’s not the best, and it’s very very dark, but I was the only driver on the road and it should give you a feel for what it’s like.
I highly suggest you take a day and go visit this road.
Taking my supra for a last hurrah drive through some twisties. Reminds me of a lost friend, yet clears my head in a magical way.
Vive la Supra.

Thankyou to all who supported us during this period.
I can’t wait for the new age of free thought, where we get to burn all the racism, feminism & political correctness books.
We’re all human, why can’t we act like it, instead of over thinking all of the shit thats wrong with the way you are being treated, and start treating others like you want to be treated.
Well, I’ve done it. Finally landed myself a contract, working essentially for myself. Sure, the client is paying for that work, but, there’s something nice knowing that I only need report to myself.
Now the work runs at my timetable, I get a say in the project, and I have to manage my time. It’s a change alright.
The end goal? Happiness. But this is a start.
Such a funny place.
You start doing one thing, and end up doing 35 others just to be able to finish that first thing.
I was writing up an invoice, which made me wonder about my url, which made me wonder about my web presence, so now I’m considering changing nameservers so I can get the stuff I want with the things and the stuff I need so that I can do what I wanted to do 20 minutes ago, all so I can be happy that a URL is on an invoice.
Ahh… the intarwebz.
You have such a calm aura about you even when crappy cards are dealt, how do you achieve it?
Wow.. Um,
Thankyou.
I have no idea who asked this.. and for some reason, I wasn’t emailed by Formspring to say I had a question.
Yes, I’ve had crappy cards dealt. Some less crappy than others. I used to fly off the handle at a lot of stuff. I’ve probably done far too much internal monologue in my life, and I think one of those internal conversations involved me realising that flying off the handle at life really doesn’t change the result of the situation.
So, typically, I’m pretty reserved about it all. Especially of late. I have a fiance and a new family to begin, and I think making sure that my actions are suited to that fact has made me consider how much I need to be more of a stable place for these people to support themselves with has led me to the place I am at now.
I think lastly, my dad always had this capability about nearly everything except when my mum got upset with him, and I think I’ve ended up similar. Really the only thing that will throw me off is when my most loved person is unhappy (with me).
Thanks for the question, sorry for the essay.
I do now.
Only one other person would be welcome on that drive.
ttfn.
