Books and Pages...

Was at the 2nd hand bookstore yesterday. Wish i found these books, but saw a babe there though.

PE#C$ ..... peace is not a swear word

Well i have been feeling very spiritual lately with a dinner at Kishna and Indian and reading my new book. So I believe a quote was appropriate today to share with everyone.

'Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned.'
Gautama Buddha

Now is the time for PEACE!

Today...

It has been some weeks...but alas i have not diminshed have just been busy.
This evening got a book 'Search for Liberation' - featuring a converstaion between A.C Bhaktivedanta and John Lennon (Beatles). Five Bucks! pretty amped and so far good reading.

Looking at a 2010 adventure including the Heilong River splittin China and Russia. Just thoughts at the moment but could be exciting.

P.S. I have joined the craze and stated a vegie garden to beat the economic crisis.

It hurts more than me....

This week has been up and down. Really not impressed with the oil spill. Those idiots that took that boat out in cyclonic conditions should be made donate their boat to charity or Greenpeace. These assholes give a note apology and think that it is all ok. Well it is not. The long term affects that will create and unbalanced ecosystem and eventually kill off the producers and low level consumers is irreplaceable damage that could create a chain reaction that i dont think we can all comprehend.

Here are some pictures to express my dissapointment

sometimes...

Yesterday was...

my birthday. Was nice to catch up with some friends and have a few drinks. Wonder what will happen as this Cyclone approaches.

reading, thinking, writing

and an art of writing.

Today the weather was cooler and I think that it enahanced my p0sitive mood.
I was more relaxed, motivated and woke up keen to work. At school I was nice to the kids, fellow co-workers and even found the time to play games.
I hope the weather is cooler but not cold tomorrow.

Camping and Bucks Smucks

working on something at the moment gave me inspirtation.

Yesterday

I was at the local corner store and let a young lady leave before barging in. She stopped looked and said, 'WOW!' I beleive she was suprised that I allowed her to go first. I didnt think of it until after and it made me realise that people just don't follow etiquette like they use to.

will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

weekend times

I just had a lovely weekend. I went to the beach, hung out, had a few drinks and got on top of school work. I have an interesting week comming up with swimming and a meet the parent evening. I have never had to do meet the parent so hopefully it goes well.

Late this afternoon i went out for a juice and it was such a pleasant afternoon.

Bed time big week of work tomorrow.

sun, water and a towel

was inspired by summer and drew a pic with some shitty $2 crayons.

lazy and busy can become confusing

I have began a new job teaching, and have still be having heaps of fun doing stuff. I have recently been to laneway festival got pretty drunk and what not, and had a blast.

Working is ok. I cant wait for a few pay checks to sort things out. I have found adapting to primary school kids from high school a bit of a shock, as fixing ripped pages and yogurt in lunch boxes i am sure is not part of my job description. Overall it is good cause i dont have to think about the content anymore.

Last friday i was given an extra class which is an art. So iam keen to let loose with that and get the kids making some cool stuff.

Below is a sketch i drew

the weeks gone by...

Well a few weeks have past and lots has happened. My eyes have been open and shut to ideas, perspectives and life chapters. The new year was brought in with a wonderful week adventure in the interesting and unpredictable adventures of Woodford Folk Festival. A fantastic gathering of individuals, friends, family from all walks of life was a precious experiences and opportunity to be apart of. Throughout the week I met and talked to people who were kind enough to tell me about themselves and I was able to gather a broader understanding of others and what is important to them is not always what is important to me, but still holds a strong place in a community of people. The culture aspect led by the fantastic and eclectic collection of music, food, art, dance and more was a breath of fresh air from the hectic lifestyle of work and obligation. As the week drew to a close the memories were cherished and motivation to make a difference remained and was taken home to build on throughout the year.
The following weeks have allowed for much thinking and plenty of drinking which has resulted in some memorable moments. At the top of the list would the chance to tattoo a mate. To leave an imprint on someone forever is a strong and rewarding experience, only if it was small. The surf has also been alright, and surfing and summer and pretty girls are enough to brighten any week.
The coming days also hold surprises, big day out, put put, and more beach action.

The New Year

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
