I am moving house and I hate moving.

The owners of the place that I have been living for the last 3 years have decided they want there house back, so I am kind of having to move in a hurry, so I told them I would be out by Monday......

Only problem is I don't have any where else to go as yet.

I love that moment that you share with a beautiful stranger, where you see a girl and there is eye contact and an exchange of smiles and then you are lost in the crowd again.

In that few seconds is something pure, no words are exchanged, your heart skips a beat in all likeliness you will never see her again.

Maybe I should have followed...

Last night there was a finger nail moon in the sky.

They say that when the moon is full that it brings out the crazy in people.

Is it crazy to chase the light, to see something that is brilliant in a dark sky.

Do I cling (by my finger nails) to my insanity when the moon is at it's dimmest.

In the darkness hides...

I feel the kiss of winter pushing against the forcefield contained in my blankets, testing it, looking for a weakness.

Somewhere for the cold to come pouring in to my bed and embrace me.

It's a trick of course, I know this and the cold knows that I know this but we play the game and as soon as I stop concentrating my warmth will...

Today is the 14th anniversary of my Mothers death, and it is also my Godsons 13th Birthday, I have often pondered this, does fate have a sense of humor or is there suppose to be balance.

I miss her every day, I always think about her and I wonder if she would be proud of the person that I have become.

Would she be happy...

I hate being sick, especially on my days off......

I am feeling better than yesterday however, I wouldn't say that I was at deaths door but I certainly think that I had stumbled into his neighbourhood, but then again I am a sook when I am sick.

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...

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...

...... and another week crumbles to dust.

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.

Time picks itself up and drags its carcass closer to the end of another year.

I remember being kid, in fact I remember a lot of things, but the...

I survived the night and I work all day.
No powers yet but I will keep you advised.

So I got bitten by a spider at work Today.

No gnarly super powers yet, I can't walk up walls or shoot webbing from my hands.

So far the only alterations are a slightly swollen hand, the inability to make a fist and less accurate typing.

Oh that and the unnatural fear that perhaps that spider was poisonous and if I go to sleep I...
