Ok man, what is happening. Its April!   I am trying the blogger app. Its a bit weird and I have no idea if the pictures are showing properly.    Are they?   I have no idea, I'm back on a browser now so hopefully this post will look a little more coherent than what I can see on my phone.   Yes - April - goddamnit where is all the time going?   Also - let's not panic...   So I am becoming exceedingly lazy of late.  My weekends are full of events that while I may look like I am turning into a social butterfly, remember that appearances are deceiving and really, I am turning into a social slug.  I get there, I end up just lying about, and leaving a mess.   I also went diving - and I really would have loved to share my photos of the lovely underwater world I encountered in Manly but my camera failed me.  But, I did go paddle boarding too - I was slow, I was wobbly and I forgot my sun-cream and I fe...

Goddamnit! It's almost the end of the year.  How the hell did this happen? Its been an interesting month. Work still goes, and I'm still adjusting.  It's been a slog actually, I feel my metaphorical calves chafing from all that metaphorical uphill climbing. On the plus side, dem metaphorical glutes.  On the minus - dem glutes aren't real.  It almost December - which means Christmas, which means I'm going to be eating so much and oh my god decorations and presents and the new year holy shit, wait... I had plans! what happen! In fact, I have recently been encouraged to write my short stories and such and start looking for ways to publish.  If anyone has any resources or sharing ideas, please hand them over!  I'm not expecting something lucrative, but I want to write to get better, get critique and collaborate with others.  That way I don't write in a vacuum of writer's hipsterness. I feel like I have procrastinated a lot, even though I ...

Hallo! Look at that, I'm somewhat timely.  Or rather, I've bothered myself to write. Well, I sang Supanova's praises last month, and now I've little else to talk about. Oh yeah, I mentioned I got a new job, whooo hoo!!! Since its important to stay private when spewing my guts out on the internet, the only thing I'll say is that its with a Children's NGO that advocates caring for children in the foster care system. Its been eye opening and sometimes even confronting.  And its taught me one or two things about raising children.  Love alone can't raise them. Some parents might try, and fail, terribly, and sometimes it isn't always their fault.  But here's the thing, that kid can't wait for their parents to sort their lives out, they need care now.  And that's a hard pill to swallow sometimes. Buuut anyway, enough philosophising, its a great job and I'm learning a lot and really adjusting to a completely different world of ...
