Sometimes the simple things in life are the greatest joys, but also overlooked.
A smile, a thank you, a kiss on the cheek from a loved one...or a hug when you need it most.
And yet why do we strive to make the odd and stupid such a central drama in our lives? Why is it in life some must seek out the most obtuse and bizarre ways to find conflict, not only with others but also within themselves?
No fingers pointed nor instances aimed as proof..but a query as I sit here and ponder..never a good thing after over two days with sleep considered to be optional. :)
To allay any worries, my life is good, though some will want to read into this more than I intend. Venting is natural and we do not do so often enough I think.
People will argue, fight and cry, this is part of the grand opera that makes our lives rich and full. How dreadfully boring it would be if we were all so attuned and had no differences. Even the closest of friends will come to a point where they fight, lovers will quarrel , siblings throw up their hands in disgust.
One thing that I do know, and have learnt from the most bitter of experience, is that leaving things unsaid is as poisonous and deadly as saying things in the heat of battle. I have lost many friends over the years. How sad that one can say that, because when you think about it, how many friends does each of us have? Those that you can say anything to, confess the worst of your fears yell and rant at and then turn and still find them there, waiting? I know how many I have, for I had a moment of reflection where I sat here and thought about all I know, and more, what I do not know. The one defining thing which took me and made me think was this..if my family or friends were to vanish now, without me being able to say goodbye...have I been a good enough friend..a brother worth the name..a son to be proud of..a lover who gave it all...and have my stupidities, lack of care, laziness and self absorbtion made me loose those that I really did care about?
We chose our paths, through our actions, be it an argument over this, jealousy over that, anger that they would dare do something that hurt us so much..and truth to tell sometimes there is no going back. Why would you, for to go back is not to grow, but to place yourself back in the very place that allowed you to be hurt in the first instance!
I have lost someone(s) along the way..
Pretty sad this post is it not?
Ahh, but you see dear reader, thats not what this is about! There is always pain, for without it we cannot truly appreciate the pleasures. For all the sadness, there is the joy to balance things.
But sometimes..oh yes, sometimes.....there is that small spark, the one chance in a million that gives you the opportunity to grow beyond that which you were and there, find your way back. It could be a chance meeting or a phone call out of the blue, whatever it is, grab it with both hands, if you cared for someone before, maybe, just maybe there is something there you still care for..despite the pain and the hurt..are you strong enough, brave enough..silly enough! to give it a second chance?
Sure you could be hurt, but then again, you could find a treasure beyond your wildest imaginings!
We are not here for a long time. Our loved ones flit through our lives like brilliant lightning bolts, blink and they are gone.
I have no real idea of where this was heading or aimed, I just felt I needed to write..I hope I have not wasted your time, but as far as endings go .. maybe this might bring a smile to your faces...
PUCK
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends. |

Thanks to all those who put up with my cooking the other week at the bbq..the work done was awesome, the old fence never had a chance..even though we singed part of the house with the non bonfire fire... :)
The new fence went up and looks good.
Paige the Houdini of the house, found this to be a challenge and instead of leaping the fence, she dug her way to freedom, and squeezed out under the fence, how I dont know..damn thing wont say.
So friday night is out there, enjoying life, Rin is at the Snow which made friday night a bit less fun, and when I get home, I find a note in the door..Paige has been hit by a car.
So much for a great week.
Now, I know vets have a tough job, but so far, 500 for the first visit and 3600 for the operation..ouch.
That said, there was no real choice was there?
We do the operation. Hell we cant take the money with us right?
This morning we go and finalise things with the vet, the operation is planned for tomorrow.
I miss my puppy. |

Hello Everybody!
I must say the last night at the Oxford tavern was not bad. A few folks turned up, some drinks were quaffed...some quaffed a bit more than they should...but all in all it was a night where a nice fun time was had by all.
To that end, I have decided to do it again, gods what a bloody hedonist yeah?
As you can see from my pic, I have decided to join in the spirit of the evening and get my tits out...what happens next, is anyones guess....
And dont forget, if your too jaded to watch the girls on stage, then the footy season kicks off, and that means rampant cheering and yelling at a screen, screaming vile oaths at a referee that cant even hear you..but to vent is so cathartic..you bloody blind wombat rooter! ahem..sorry I should save it for the game..
Drinks, sports food and women...hah! and they said I would never get to heaven!
if your in, then let me know...if not, more for me!
0422389995
see you guys there, and for you guys OS I will be thinking of you...actually not right then and there, I will have my hands full, but later, maybe..if I can remember...
:-P |

Next Friday I am heading to the Oxford for a few quiet drinks, some sexy dancing girls and a few laughs, who knows, we might make a night of it and end up at the Townie, but for now its all up in the air..all I know is I want a bit of a party..
Why?
Why the fuck not!! |

| Help Please! | [Feb. 13th, 2008|09:44 pm] | Hey guys, hows things? Corinne has just finished her security course and needs a couple of folks to write a reference, any volunteers?
Alright people I've finished my course. The only problem is I need a character reference before I can get my licence. I've got 1 lined up but I need one more.
I need this reference from someone that's known me for 12months and they be one of the following;
- Accountants
- Bank Managers
- Australian Lawyers and patent attorneys
- clerks or registrars of court
- registered medical practitioners
- judges
- Members of the chartered institute of company secretaries
- Government employees(except members of police or other law enforcement agancy) who have been employed full-time continuously for at least 5 years
- school and tertiary teachers who have been teaching for at least 5 years full time
- ministers of religion
- justices of the peace
-security licensees who have held their licence continuously for at least 5 years. (de facto Frank not allowed)
So peoples if you can help it would be greatly appreciated, with out this reference I just put time and money into something I cannot do. Would have helped if I knew this before I started but I didn't.
Thanks,
Rin |

| About Van |
[Feb. 10th, 2008|01:52 pm] |
OK so Van broke down and was not at the club last nite..which got me to thinking, I have always planned to do this so here goes...
If anyone has pics of Van at the club, people around the van..people..*ahem* "attached to the van"
please send them to me, I want to see how many different folks have been tied to, stuffed in, sat upon, leant against, and other wise been molested at Van, and not just by me!
I will also put in pics of the first van and why I had to change it to Van!
um...
That is if I can work out how to put pictures on here....stupid puters. ggrrrrr |

| Weekend relaxation. |
[Feb. 10th, 2008|12:08 pm] |
Ahh me ..
A lazy afternoon and things are quiet and relaxed...I feel kinda lost.
After a week at work which almost led me to commit Apprenticide, its been good. Friday night was spent at home, for the first time in ages, looking after the_engel as she struggled with the dreaded lurgy. As nights go, it was fun and something I have missed doing, spending time with her and just being there.
Saturday morning was a quick aircon job, which due to heavy rain became more and undersea adventure in "where did my screwdriver float too?" Not much was done, but I did get cake and coffee, so it was not a total loss. On tyhe way home decided to get some groceries, that done the van and I turned and set sail for home, with one teeny problem...halfway there the temp gauge went through the roof. Inspections found no water inthe radiator and so after a few hours cooling it down, I finally lmped home. The water pump had shit itself, oh well...
This delay kinda put the kibosh on any sleep before work at DM, so instead I cooked dinner, lamb chops, salad and bruchetta. the_engel is still alive and I dont think she called for medical help so I will list that under a success!
So, sans van, I headed into work, and much fun it was too. Not the biggest crowd, but with Iron Maiden and other events on, not to mention the downpours that washed in at various intervals, it was still a fun night, despite the often repeat question as to the vans location, often by folks with a lost look and bag in hand!
Fear not, it should be back in time for the next one, I swear the van has a cult following of its own!
Lots of new faces and some old ones who i have not seen in a while, and thanks to our friend who made sure that my evening was not boring as the night neared its end! :-P Arguing with people who have had 1 or 6 too many is always fun, if only the van was there...heheheh
And so it is, the weekend is almost done, the sun is out birds are singing and I hear the soft buzz of lawnmowers in the suburb...ahh shit, now I have to go and cut the grass.....
Only problem, I cant see the lawnmower, its in about 5 feet of green!
Have fun peoples...
ps..
anyone want a fucking kitten? it just bit my ankle! I can try throwing it from here to you!! |

| Yearly review thing... |
[Dec. 26th, 2007|09:23 am] |
| [ | mood |
| |  thankful | ] |
about this time folks look back over the year and judge it.
well, my 2cents worth? as long as your still there at the end of it, things have been ok.
As with most years, there have been highs and lows, things I have done well and things which made me wonder if I am just a bloody idiot. (Answer is yes on the second part)
I have made people smile, and hurt those I care about.
Been hard working and lazy. Honest and a liar. Strong and pissweak.
I have also discovered those that are ready to stand by me and see things through, my real friends, and those that just..well, are there for the easy ride.
The year is almost done, and I look back, not to sigh and wish I did things differently, but to learn, so I try not to make the same mistakes again. There is sadness, meloncholy, and a lot of regret for some of the waters that have passed under this years bridge. Then again, there are some very proud moments and even more joyfull memories.
To all my friends, you know who you are, I thank you for all the support you have given me, without -ALL- of you the journey is that much harder and emptier. I have never thanked you enough for just being there.
To those who I have wronged or with whom I have had issue, may this new year be a new start, life is too short to hold grudges and hate, so I wish you all the best in life this year.
Wow.
you know it started out as a small joke thing, but as I look back and read it I kinda like where my weird brain has taken me.
That said.
From my heart folks, Live every day this year to the fullest, have no regrets, and love 10 times as much as you hate, who knows, 2008 might not be that bad, yeah?
Love
Frank. |
