I stand halfway up a mountain and I look at the journey of my life revealed below me.

The winds of time push against my consciousness, in it I can taste my youth. I feel the chill and the warmth of the past.

I cannot see the bottom from where I started and I cannot see the top where it will end.

I have changed...

Well I have 2 days off and then my last 2 shifts before I go on holiday, I hope that these last few days are kind to me.

Next week, Byron Bay for Blues and Roots, I love this festival and I have been for the last 4 years and camping on site is amazing, one year I woke up to Crowded House doing there...

It draws out its last weazy breath, the rattle in the throat is prolonged and the silence that follows holds on for two more beats longer than it should.

Thank you for your understanding.

I am inclined to believe that a change is coming, I don't know what it is, or what there will be after.

But something must happen and soon.

I am currently plagued by strange dreams of old friends in places I do not know and of my ex girl friend.

I am disturbed by these dreams, I think she took a part of me when she left that I will never get back and I may never be complete again because of this..........

Or maybe it's just time to change who I am,...

I am off to the Soundwave festival Today, and it is a strange day of weather, raining one minute, hot and sunny the next.

It feels strange also because of the tides of friendship that is currently sweeping thru my life, we use to have such a strong crew of mates that would go to this and other things every year.

Now it feels like...
