Day Dreaming
While at work today I daydreamed to myself what things would be like if I had decided to continue with acrobatics/gymnastics all those year ago. Hrrrm….
My housemate likes to pick on me by calling me fat and pear shaped.
I’d like it if he kept such comments to himself. Grrr.

Unfortunatley I didn’t...

A Conversation
You: We've got nothing in common.No common ground to start from and we're falling apart. The world has come between us. Our lives have come between us.
Me: *Interjects* What about "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
You: *Stunned* I think I remember the film, and as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it...

Happy Birthday Dad
Today marks the day would have celebrated his 52nd Birthday.

It looks like the estate won’t be legally resolved for another few months, adding to the 14 months it has already been unresolved.
It was nice to speak to his friend about the burial of his ashes. My dad requested a water burial at...

But lets go back a bit… I’ve had ideas swimming around my head for the last few weeks, thoughts swirling around without consolidation.

Little acts of courage...
Jack: This might seem a little out of the blue, but I find you incredibly attractive. I was wondering if you were interested in going out sometime?
Gym Crush: Nah Mate. I'm not *pause* that way.
Jack: Oh well, it was worth a try. At least consider it an ego boost.
Gym Crush: *smiles* Yeah. Say, do you get out much?

It’s TMI Tuesday in Australia.
You have questions? I have answers.
Who just sold his 2002 Ford Falcon Wagon for well below the asking price?
