June '09

 
 
     Hey all..
  It's been a while hey. Heaps happened inbetween blogs. The reason I've not been bloggin is the prying-eyes into me. Then that really pisses me off coz it shouldn't be a bother - I've got nothing to hide(these days) :) and are trying very hard to do the right thing with my life after so many years NOT.
  Feeling great today, as I do most days now, not waking up feeling like I've been hit by a bus, or ACTULLY waking up having been hit by a bus! :) I remember exactly what I did last night, where I went yesterday, who I was with, and I remember what I have to do today - mostly. I'm loving being sober, and so very grateful for the things sobriety brings me, and for the recognition of the things that I've always had but couldn't or wouldn't see.
  Today I have a beautiful partner - the girl that I had begun to think I'd never meet. Today I can call and talk with most any member of my family, without them feeling the dread of me calling. Today I eat well, and go to Gym every day. I come home to a warm, comfortable home. Today I have plans and aspirations. All this will be lost if my old ways return, and in this recognition lies my solution for today.
  I'm decided to change career. Bing the Gym-Junkie I've been for quite a while now, it seemed the only way to go - something I really enjoy and would be more than happy to get out of bed in the morning for. The hurdle at this point is the money side of things, it's an expensive course and I'm behind the eight ball financially at the moment. I'm focusing on the areas I can do something about, rather than dwelling on the hard stuff..
  We got ouselves a new dog "Mia".. She is fucking sensational.. 7mths old American Staffie. Loves her new home. She's gotta be the happiest creature I've ever met - Litterally jumping out of her skin with lust for life. It's great to be around. How simple they keep it - a lot to be learned from our 4 legged friends  -- " Show me some love, I'll give you my heart - then let's go for a walk"  :)
  The sun is shining, and I've a bit to do today, so I'm off for now. Will attempt to keep this updated, but no promises! :)

A really ordinary blog

 
 Hello.
 
 This is my real ordinary blog. Today I woke thirsy so I drank some cordial. I smelt a bit from the day previous, so I showered. I felt a little sluggish after my shower so I drank 3 cups of coffee.  We drove to a town nearby after said coffee and purchased material to make work(ings). We stopped at the pie shop and saw Cinderella with a heap of children and a really hot photographer. She had a big lens on her camera. We drove to work. Now I am sore. We had a counter meal. I have a sore tattoo. My life is falling togrther in random organisation for which I thank the organisers greatly. Boof is a big rotty that loves to eat blowers and I can prove it. There are no wonders of the world - only temporarily unsolved soulutions.  I put too much sauce in my pie, and some of it fell on my pants while pretended there wasn't. You cant just blinly gauge the amount of sauce you squeeze when the nozzle is buried in your food. You will always be tollerating a mouthful of sauce. I built a good retaining wall. Hung a good gate. Drank some good beer. Kept good company. Ate good Counter(ie). Life is good so long a s you dont weaken.

mobileblog

well there you go. I'm typin this from my fone - yay technology.. Weird thing though- the output is not that of normal content.. It resembles an sms as much as you desperatly try for it not to be.:) There is much to tell, but too many keys to press.:) the long and the short of it being that I am goin for lunch this weekend with my son. It's been a long time between lunches to say the least.
And have I met someone? Maybe..

Fuck it.

 
Okay fuckers. Fasten yer seatbelts. I'm about at the end of my teather, the patience worn thin, the energy dwindling, a bead of sweat running in the cold, the fucking hackles are raised and I m,ust be very careful of what does happen from here on in. I wanna pick it up and throw it over a cliff. I wanna raise it above my head and smash it on an anvil. I wanna make a Corolla into a horseshoe with a pickaxe. I wanna make world peace with headbutts. I wanna make world war with flower petals. I wanna tear it in half and see whats inside and then throw it away. I wanna look to the horizon and comment on the mediocerity of its content. I wanna kick a happy dog and say I dont care. I wanna choke a cat and give it to an unhappy dog. I want to suffocate an animal to add emphasis to my opinion. I want to ask it what colour it is and argue reguardless.I want an appointment. An appointment with a Datsun 120y and a baseball bat. Not happy Jan.

Screw 'em :P

 
   I've decided to close the permissions on my space and get back into some blogging. I'll feel a lot more comfortable knowing who comes and goes from and to here.. Things are going fantasticly. I have much news and barely know where to begin.. For the first time in a lot of years it seems I am doing the right thing, finding my feet, and finally (to many peoples relief) getting on with the life I have not been much a part of for so long now. So many small pleasures I'd forgot about. Relaionships damaged and destroyed. In fact, in the scheme of things it's a wonder I'm in a position to be able to type right now.
  I've had a week off work for a couple of reasons, one being I've been crook as with the flu firstly, then just to drill me totally a dose of gastro. Been wrecked. There wasn't a lot of work on for me this week largely due to the fact I still do not have a license, well folks - let me be the first to tell you to insure your vehicles should they be driving on Australian roadfs coz DAZ gettin his LICENSE BAK. Woo hoo. Go me. :)  Went and saw an officer of the law this afternoon to discuss why the police force should not allow it. Beanie in hand I won him over "there should be no problems at all" I was assured. Woo Hoo again    :)
  So the license thing is but one aspect of the big picture of Darin kicking goals right now - I spoke earlier in the week to the mother of my son Rhys who I have not seen for around two years now. It was a difficult call and I had put it off for sooo long because I felt inadequate as a dad and failed as a role model and father; that Rhys would do a lot better in his life without me in it. So the call was made, and I am now in possesion of my 19y.o sons mobile number. I have not yet called - but he knows I spoke to his Mum and I have his number. Rhys lives in Melbourne now and goes to uni - after blitzing his vce - so maybe was a good idea I stayed away! I'm absolutely stoked he is not only doing well, he's doing fucking fantastic. After I thought about our conversation, I felt proud of his Mum and the job she's done raisin our boy without his Dad.
  I have been spending money on good things.
  I have a new N95 :)
  Toys are good to remind one they're doin alright  :)
  I've met a gerl - kinda
  She kows who she is.
  But it's best a secret kept.
 
 
  If I again get no comments to my blog - THAT'S IT - ALL PERMISSIONS GONE!
 
There is a lot more on the way
 
                        Darin.

Dhurringile Ag Crew

 
  Back to work at last. It's been a day or two since i've got out there and made a dollar - may even be pushing 12mths.. I was workin in the nick - a fella has to support himself in there especially if you are a smoker. This time I was fortunate enough to make it to an open camp / farm - it seems a bit silly even calling it jail, it's about as laid-back as it gets. I managed to get onto one of the cruisier jobs there - the Ag gang. We had to work a bit in the mornings feeding sileage/hay out to the cows which took maybe an hour, then we'd hook the fencing trailer up to the tractor and drive round the farm looking busy but doing as little as possible - as you do when ur bein paid $7.40 a day :) .. We had yabbie nets goin - even fishing rods (got pinched with them spewin) and a dam up one of the furthur corners of the property that we'd go for the afternoon kicking back on the banks and talkin shit with the boys. I pitty the poor blokes back in the industries shed doin woodwork or steel fab with the screws ridin 'em - hehe - the ag crew boys did it easy.. ;)  It's not that I dont like to work hey - don't get me wrong, I'm a worker - but the money dictates performance :)
  So I'm back into the work again with my mates brother doin a bit of fencin. he first day hurt - swingin a crowbar on postholes for most the day - bit of a nasty wake up call! Like riding a bike. Straight back into it next week. Juggling parole with work is proving fucking inconvenient to say the least - but I'm managing. Got a glamour parole officer so catchin up with her aint really a drag at all :) She's cuttin me some slack now she's getting to know me and I've been doing the rightie.
  So I've moved to a small town out of Ballarat - I really like it here. Out of town is the key, it's beautiful country out here, the people are great and not bein in town is the bomb. Away from it all - but none too far, Melbourne not far away either. Living here with my mate who i'll call 'old cock' for the purpose of this blog :) Old cock is a good friend who has helped me out immensely. He a good man.
  Just been doin some catchin up on friends blogs.. It makes me happy to see good pepole doing well and having fun.
  I have been a prolific writer in the past - but at the moment it's all a bit difficult and the harder I try the less gets written. I guess it's a reflection of how I feel about myself at the time. I know it is actually. Things are turning around for me at last - with effort and focus, so maybe the writing will return soon.
  I lost someone very close to me almost a year ago - 15th june. Gonna be a bit of a difficult time. She was a beautiful person and a great loss to all.

Slunks

 
   I've broke the heart of someone really important to me. I dont know what to say about it all. Several people actually. People that care(d) for me. One in particular that is snappin my brain.

Back Again.

 
    Gotta love that new Aussie band 'The Presets'.. So very much to talk about but nothing coming out. I've lost so mch over the past 2 years or so that I have given myself a mammoth task to get back on my feet - let alone dealing with the hurt i've dealt others.

   Just gone back over a few of my past enteries... e w w....

The Medicine..

   Well well. Some are slow on the uptake I guess. Tonight I revisited the meeting I know I need if I am to live much longer. The rooms of A.A are where I need to be for recovery - No Ifs, No Fuckin' Buts. I've not banged the aa drum in this space before - mostly because of the stigma attatched, and I guess partially my not really being completely honest with where I'm at. There is no two ways about it - my mental wellbeing picked up by at least 50% with one meeting after not having gone for a few weeks.
   So there you have it folks - I'm Darin & I'm an alcoholic... ;) And an addict.. There are so many people sitting on the edge of their seats for me.. Good people that have not entered my life by chance - good people that I need to start giving some back to. This blog must be the most frustrating thing to read for some people - "Why the fuck doesn't he just snap the fuck out of it and stop it?" - I hear ya.. Not that simple though. Not by a fucking longshot. I need a serious alteration of my personality. I was thinking in my previous attempts to get well that it was a matter of being aware of, and taking an objective look at, the way I think and react. Thats all good - But if the personality isn't addopting new practices  to minimalise the negative thopughts - and the selfishness - I will be fighting a neverending fight. I have never been good with the obvious as I have mentioned in the past - which prompts me to look at things in a simpler manner, rather than trying to formulate an equation for a falling leaf. Maybe I should be taking a closer look at the leaf and paying it a compliment before I go plotting its trajectory and wondering at kaos theory and how it is directly responsable for every motion of that leaf from the moment it left the tree - one do-your-head-in-theory KAOS be. It hella goes against my theory of no co-incidences.. Organised Kaos. The oxy-moron of the century. See - - there inlies the problem. I just realised that with all this ranting (let myself go for purpose of example;) I did not have a leaf in mind. No colour, no size.. Just an object falling at the mercy of organised kaos and natural physics. Once I realised, I saw a yellowed-off leaf with a ripe-peach haze in the middle with an intricate web of veins shooting out its edge. Grattitude.
   So I think it may be time to step this space up & do what I've wanted to do for some time which is take the blogging thing to the next level of honesty. I am a dishonest man - make no mistake - but for the reason of not wanting to upset or hurt anyone usually.. Or maybe to get my own way. I'm fucking selfish too.. Me me me. The  product of a 22 year mission of chemical dependance, debauchery, crime, chemical overload, 3 years in prision, police police fucking police..
   The nights that all ran together in some fucking mad frenzy at some idiots' place  pingin' off our nuts on Crystal Meth, Ethedrine, and usually a plethora of Barbituates - one of my personal favourites, would at times turn into a week or more awake drinking a mountain of Bourbon cans, smoking bags of weed and dropping E after dark as to remind the pinneal gland that it is in fact night time  for the 12th time in a row without rest. That's when the fucking cramps start bitin' ya;) The only drug that I know of that I have not used & abused and done enought to drop a Rhino is the Chroming thing. For some reason it seemed a pittiful habit - a chep high. Kills too many brain cells. ;) The fuck am I kidding. I cannot recall knocking back any chance to alter my conscienceness up until about 12 mths ago. Too fucking much was what I wanted but was never enough, the constitution of cast iron  I had, according to Mum when I was a kid..
   So the long and the short of all this is that reading this space will get a tad more interesting in the near future. Fuck it all - what have I got to loose? Does it really bother me that people have this information and details of my life? So long as you aint got my wallet, house keys, or the girl I'm chasin - its all good here..
   I seriously gotta put this Insomniac to bed.. L8tr..

Spill tha beanz

Yet another quality confused and lost tale
 
I am in proberly the worst state of confusion and angst ever. I'm realising that when I am not travelling too hot, people swoop in on me and take advantage of my weakness. I am ready to start gettin angry in a most positive and forthright manner and let some people know what I am really about - not let them tell me how I should be doing things - run my life - which direction to take - I could go for hours. The people here in myspace are having the most profound  effect on me and the way I am looking at things. I am accepting the unexplained and downright uncanny. I am dumbing this black duck the fuck down - listening, and enjoying the ride which is banging my door down. My deepest thanks to the people who have encouraged me all the way since I've started this - and still to now give by far the most amazing and good advice. You have helped me through some very difficult(to say the least) times and put a smile on my face again. A certain friend - now somewhat distant came to me, slapped me upside the fuckin head with her spiritual lifestyle and endeavours and basicly told me to get with the programme and booted off. I took it firly harshly at the time - but thyere was more to her tactic than was obvious - and I am starting to understand that. Thanx you :-)
 
As for whats going on now - I really dont have any idea - I'm focusing on me and what I need to be doing to get out of this life the simple happiness I so desire - and starting to believe I DESERVE. Reguardless of what I've done in the past or who I was. I am in a strange mood - I'm being carefull as to not get on a high because I have come to realise they are the times most dangerous to me. I dare say this next chapter will bring a few more readers here... ;)
 
Again,
 
 
 
THANK YOU ALL :-)

Add Title Here 2

 
  Very large weekend. Did sweet fuck all, but an intense couple of days pondering things. Have decided against my little holiday - who was I trying to kid in the first place. I am hitting the road tommorow. Where to is still pretty much an unknown at this point, I am very much open to any suggestions in that reguard. North sonunds great for a bit of a holiday, but west is reminding me of my finances at the moment and how that direction will help that a lot. I am over Bendigo. I am over VICTORIA! Have a few things to take care of in Melbourne b4 I boot off - and some time to think about which direction to go.
   Feels very much like I am bashing my head against a wall at the moment. Certain events of the past couple of weeks are plaguing and tormenting.. I should open an "excellent choice centre" - people could pay to come and see me as to make the correct decision which will definatly work out for the best, 100% guarenteed.. Just choose the option that I DONT CHOOSE.. ;)

Add title here

 
   Strange this existance can be at times. Very trying. Seems when I give it a go another blow is sent at me. I think it's all in my perspective but. I know it. Ive made a decision to seek some help in the seemingly endless and fucking painfull battle that is my sobriety. Yet another stumble - of large proportions - of late has put the icing on the rehab cake. Way too much passionfruit in the icing but - it's damn bitter.
  I've agin lost all of the living essentials - the wallet, the I.D, the bag (with a book in in it I was thoroughly enjoying) and other sundry bits - I am becoming far too comfortable with loss.. Above all else I have shed myself of lately is a relationship. The other crap doesn't hurt like this does hey. Can replace the medicare card pretty quickly and easily - and the person serving me even cracks a joke about the loss. There's no jokes when you push away a person and realise all to late the depth of your mistake.... Gotta go- cot'd 2morra... Pickin up my guitar now - yay..

Weather or not Boards..

 

   Enjoyed work today. My work can be very pleasing and satisfying sometimes - usually when it's all going well ;)  Today was just such a day. Working shorter days these days as a strategy. Is working well. Gone are the days of 10 hours 6 days balls-to-the-wall going like a thrashing machine and into the Bourbon after work. Something is missing in my life and it's starting to fukin shit me.

In the mail..

 
   My sleeping (Pattern??) is fairly up the shitter. Doesn't seem to matter what physical state I'm in either, even when I've put in a big day as I did today, I'm not getting tired and there's nothing much more frustrating than lying in bed trying to sleep when YA CANT.
   Had some interesting news today. I may be recieving a financial injection of quite large proportions. Interesting. Not really phased strangely enough - in fact it kinda worries me a little. A lot actually. Will need to be very careful indeed.
   Getting stuck into the work again after some time off for personality re-adjustment and time-out. All fixed now. ;) Brand new. Got a roof to do in Mount Macedon next. Hopefully have my license back by then too - awesome. Had the ute sittin here for weeks and unable to drive it - it's starting to do my head in.              Money talks - Money talks - dirty cash . . . . 
  What's a good thing to think about as one tries to sleep? There is plenty I guess - but I'm usually tied up thinkin about what has to be done at work tomorrow - yea I know - interesting stuff Darin. If I'm really having trouble I sometimes imagine myself surfing across the tops of the clouds.. Can be great sometimes - get the whole inertia thing goin on and all. Banana smoothy and bed 4 mea. My guitar has seen better days but still works okay.. ;)

Fuji Apple Juice

Fuji Apples.. I love em.
 
  Once on a mission to Melbourne years ago I stopped in Harcourt to buy a drink from a roadside orchid. I bought what were reccomended to me as the freshest apple in the store - a bag of Fujis. I ripped into one in the car, and I gotta say - it was like none other. Until that day, I hadn't eaten a full bag of Fujis in a week, let alone a day. I accomplished what needed to be done in Melbourne, apple in hand all day. When I got back to Bendigo, I was soooo full. I had eaten the whole fucking bag that day. Full of apples.
  But right now, I have a round of applause in my mouth after putting a Lindt Hazlenut chocolate ball in there. Damn that's some fine Chocolate. Banana smoothies tonight also. But this all is not why I'm in here blogging. Throwing off. Get to the point...
  There is lots I could write here, but there isn't a lot of substance to what you would be reading. The thing is, I am starting to listen. More importantly, starting to let go. A few fingers have been prized from whatever part of me I am gripping onto through fear and the unknown. The unknown is now becoming somewhere I wish to shine a bit of light on and take a wander through. This is not an easy task for me to let go of something that I have stupidly hung onto for so long, but something I am working hard on right now. Even this minute. The irony is that it has a load to do with how much I analyse which I kinda feel like I'm doing right now - but - to change this I need to know what needs the focus in this change. The focus now is mostly on the recognition of change & that it is good - contrary to what my old thoughts would have me believe and react to. Old ways tell me swim when drowning, now I am thinking I'll float anyhow. And that if I am drowning, I'm there for a reason.
  There are things going on for me I am not implimenting this altered attitude on through fear. There. I said it. Fucking fear. Its a word I could very well choke on but need to get used to it. Turning it into anything else is an exersize in futility if I cannot recognise it. I am really starting to go somewhere - can't say really where or what is instore for me, but something in me is pushing. Still the hesitation dwells in my guts, but it will go. I will see it to the door. Buy it a train ticket and drop the fukin worm off at the station.. ;)
  I have struck a mentor. He is where I am going - where I want to be. He has made a large impact on me in a matter of days in reguard to my thinking. It possibly can be an answer I have been looking for - should I just LET GO. ;) The fingers are tired, my mind is opening and the floodgate valve is rusty. Bring it on I say.
  There are things I want to say to people in my life right now but are not . . All in time. I'd rather be at the beach.

Rude Awakening.

 
    I knew it was coming and before I knew it was in amidst an old behaviour I have tried so hard over the past 6 months to overcome and change. Damn. The hard part is to not beat myself up for it, and simply get back to what I was doing - much easier than said. My thinking has unfortunatly taken a turn which I was totally unprepared for, but is also a reminder of my motives over the past few months. Getting my thinking back in line.
    The good thing to come out of this is that I now have some idea of what happens when the will to misbehave arrives after some time of doing the right thing, but more importantly as I just mentioned, how as much as one night of letting myself down and going against what I have been working toward can radicly alter my thinking - to the old thinking which I am coming to despise.
     Maybe it's time to take this getting better a little more seriously. My character defects I have learned to live with and at times used as tools of survival at certain points of my life, have run their course, worn out their welcome, and are past their used by date. I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent. Reasonably. I would consider myself much more intelligent if I wasn't so fucking daft at times. I spoke briefly in my last blog of my nieveity. Thats an understatement. Dunno the word for it - but I'm looking for a word meaning REALLY BLOODY NIEVE. Not as cluey as one thought one was or is. Real intelligence I am starting to understand is not what I know - but actually being happy with the things I don't know or understand, and being at ease with that. Easily said for me - but a whole load of work to really accept in my heart.
    As lonely as I can be at the moment with my disassociation from most old aquaintainces, there is a whole new circle around me - I am only now seeing. The hard thing - the thing I am obsessing over and should not be I am now starting to see, is that I need not be concerned of why or how this has come about - and focus more on being grateful it just is, and accepting it for what it is, along with all the mystery and coincidences.
     Something was recently mentioned to me about my heart. How does one follow it. My basic interpretation would be one of honesty and respect. But that also would be my analysing and mechanical mind at work trying to understand something that need not be understood to be understood. ;) Understanding the never to be understood. Could drive myself insane with my thoughts at times. There inlies a clue from my own hand.
     Last week - it was a Thursday. I went to the doctor to have my back looked at after injuring it at work a few days previous. I had an interesting consultation with a GP whom has become a very good friend and for whom I have a lot of respect for as a man, a father, and for me, a role model of being at ease with his life and living it on lifes' terms. He has sorted out my back with his expertise, and I feel comforted having a doctor whom sees me as more than another client in his office. Previous to my appointment I was sitting in the waiting room with my friend whom also is very close to me and for whom I also have an immense respect and very close friendship with. He is a Christian and follows his beliefs as best he can, and someday I can see him as reaching what it is he is striving for - as there is something he has that I dont and I see that it is what I need. If that Makes sense. I am envious of his attitude and outlook - but not in an envious manner if you know what I mean?? More frustrated of myself that I cannot see something he does and finds easy to see.
    He threw a bible to me whilst I sat waiting in the waiting room. I opened it to a random page and read from a random column. What I read blew my mind and started some seemingly uncontrollable train of thought that I could not make much sense of. For moments I knew what I needed to do, then I didn't. Something was definatly eating at me. It is really hard for me to pinpoint or explain. Or maybe I just feel uncomfortable acknowledging that something has come out of a bible and smashed me in the face. Why does spirituality make me so uncomfortable and weird?? It's not like I am not interested or don't want an understanding, very much the contrary. I think. Maybe that's my brain and not my heart talking. I've herd it before. The heart is where it's at.
     There are a lot of things I was not doing in my sobriety and should have been for my recovery to be successful. It requires more work than I was putting in, and I am starting to see that It doesn't have to be as hard as I make it for myself at times if I am working it seriously. One thing that comes to mind right now is looking into the mirror and see whats doin with the bloke in it. I've mentioned it before in a previous blog as something I was aware of needing to look at, but to now have still not done anything about. I know I take myself too seriously. It's been said to me by others also. It's not a self-centeredness thing as far as I know, but more an unwillingness on my part to LET GO. I am soo evvious of people who can laugh at themselves. It is an extremely admirable trait to me.
     One other thing that has surfaced recently over the past week in my thoughts is what I am doing in here - in myspace. Not what I am doing - but more what I am not. It is very frustrating for me typing away in here at times, because I feel I have so much more to offer and are holding back a hell of a lot for reasons I am yet to really understand. The last sentence I typed I just re-read and feel that it is nowhere near what I really want or are capable of typing. The prospect of helping others is becoming an unavoidable prospect for me. Here's the crux. In me, I feel I have the experience, honesty and empathy to help those in the throws of where I did come. I understand what it feels like, the lifestyle, the fronts and deceptions of self, the lows, the lowers, the false and rare highs, the disappiontments and failures, and the time you start to feel something is not right. I have held back in doing anything about this because I feel I am not yey better and that I need some kind of well-time under my belt to be taken seriously and being seen as having pure motives. Maybe this isn't the case and is something I can edge into in smaller degrees - Yes Darin, take it easy.. I would be interested in anyones opinions reguarding anything I have said here this morning - especially around the content and what you feel you are not hearing from me - that I would find most interesting - what you feel I am hiding..
     I'm out of here for now - big day in Melbourne for me - not looking forward to the whole hussle and bussle thing, but it will make for a good time out in another environment.

Coincidence & Kaos

   For me a lot of things are unbelievably coincidental at this point in time. So unbelievably coincidental that it defies logic and reason. These occurrences sometimes render me numb with astonishment. The thing I've gotta sort out is that maybe it's this clean living and positive attitude toward my life manifesting in different ways that's causing it all. And maybe these things have been occurring always, but I've not noticed before - although I seriously think I would have - they would have spun me out even furthur. Guess the largest factor in all this is that I am not very used to good things happening in my life. When they do, I cannot help but be suspicious to varying degrees. I can be very niaeve at times. I was talking to a friend about it yesterday. There have been times that a girl has been seriously flirting with me and I am not aware of it, although everyone else present can.. It's like she would have to get right up in my face and put my hand on her breast - "Hello Dickhead!!" Like I said - can be very niaeve.. ;) It can be a good thing though - and I know for a fact that sometimes I play on it and use it subconsciously. It can be very helpful in avoidance and not dealing with stuff which isn't really that helpful to my cause. Some things are better left unsaid.

Christmas Egg-Blog..

     Hey.. Merry Christmas to all of the religious denominations that celebrate said event, and all the best for the new year for those who start their new year on the 1st of January.. It's going to be an interesting year '07 - a new start for me..
     I think a lot more these days which apparently should be a good thing. Dunno that its all it's cracked up to be. Can be very handy at times - but what about those "special" times when one needs to play the Ostritch? There's no getting around some things with a sober mind. I guess that's a large part of why I chose to keep my mind in an unsober state for so long. Pretty sad reality to look back apon but something to help me in my want for long, lasting change in me and the way I deal with life and all its tests. I have already come some way in using my thoughts in a different way. The difficulty lies in taking the time to look at any given situation and weigh it up rather than reacting to it.
     Christmas day this year was difficult in respect of the family side of things. I'm used to some degree of family contact, but this year was none - I cannot bring myself to do it after what has happened. Whats that saying about the disease and the cure?
     It was a quiet Christmas, but a good one. Bit on the lonely side, missed a lot of people, but most of these people are not good for me. It's a rock and a hard place - Either I continue with where I am going right now which is hard but has amazing results at the end, or I go back to where I left and rejoin the crowd to a very mediocre existance to say the very least. It's not even a rock and a hard place - the decision is easy really. I've no intention going back there no matter how lonely the existance may feel at times.
     Got a Ute delivered to our place today - a black HZ. Sweet.. Should be getting my license back on the 8th - woohoo! Damn I've missed my license.. It's like being cut off at the ankles.
