365 days passed and 365 to come. 

I am sure i’m not the only one that on the 1/1/11  will sit and crucify themselves between the two thieves, the regret of the past year and the fear of the next. I say Screw 2010 and all the occurrences of such a year and enter the next with a clear mind.

The over used and over rated goal setting known as a new years resolution.   I want to loose 10kg, I want to quit smoking; I will only drink once a week, I will exercise once a day.

All these new goals people set internationally that have a new burst of motivation that comes with the new year which tends to fade quite rapidly as we venture into a new year. I am not a strong believer in the new years resolution but see it as a time to your mind of all thoughts and start a new.

My first day of the new year will be spent in Victoria with some amazing people and from there I look to not fear the tomorrow but live the today.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

If something makes you depressed is it really worth it? 

BUT

If failing at something makes you so upset then you must really love it.

I am not going to wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions that I will face. So what! I will get started now. With each step I take I will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self confident and more and more successful.

I remember the days we spent together,

Were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming

Except we always woke up,

Never thought not having you here now

Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up

I need your loving hands to come and pick me up

And every night I miss you

I can just look up

And know the stars are 

Holding you tonight

I remember the time you sat and told me

About your Jesus, and how not to look back

Even if no one believes us

When it hurts so bad, sometimes

Not having you here

Its not how hard you can kick, its how well you can rebound after being kicked that makes a person!

STORM CHASES, SEAL HUNTERS

Driver

Comedian

Hunter

A Victorian afternoon like no other.  What started with a salmon and avocado roll and what ended with bucket loads of precipitation.

     “Are there seals here?”

     “Yeah”

     “What I have never seen a seal”

     “Are you for real, get in the car, seal rocks here we come”

Multiple fruit tingles as an energy source and we were off. Three different human beings go on a quest for a seal.

After the seal rocks binoculars greedily consumed six dollars worth of two-dollar coins our hopes of seeing a seal were quickly shattered.  Our faces that were earlier raped by the Victorian sun were soon to be wind burnt and hec the way the Victorian weather systems work lightning was hunting us down and following our quest. Apart from the monstrous storm creeping towards us we decided to lower our expectations and settle for the sight of a seal no longer with us.  

After a short stroll towards the infamous Right Point and the realization that Thursday the second of December was not a seal day we called an afternoon and afternoon. Despite the disappointment, soggy clothes and sunburn those afternoon hours were enjoyed by all parties.
