March 20
still stuck in sudnee, austruckingfailure
now there's the 'great recession' and all types of weird and wonderful things going on...a black man in the white house (I was dumbstruck that Americans could make such a momentously brilliant change of leader), government handouts to idiots who have nearly caused the end of the financial world as we knew it, those same idiots giving million dollar bonuses to the very same idiots who made all the so-called 'toxic assets'...
I don't have a university degree, but I really don't need one to know that if a business fails, the owners go broke...that is unless you are a bank, or huge financial corporation, and who are the ones who control most of todays global activity I ask? oh yeh, these very same rich fat (obese) cats
well, the rich get richer, the poor get the picture,it's never gonna change thats for sure...(to mis-quote one of my favourite bands, Midnight Oil
I hope all you rich fu#$ers die a horrible death and have to live to the end of eternity meditating on the detriment of GREED
and meanwhile, is it just me or is it quietly convenient that the "GFC" comes along right when the earth and (ergo) all of us inhabitants on it are facing the greatest ecological disaster of all time that really ought to be consuming each and every one of our waking hours trying to remedy.
democracy and freedom at the expense of the planet...that is the trade we, yes all of us collectively have to shoulder the responsibility through our own inaction, have made...past tense
just keep watching and buying the mindless shit on tv, and idly stand by telling ourselves that we have to be so engrossed in our own feeble minute problems that we cant possibly do anything, and watch the earth slowly gurgle down the old toilet...
SO HOW ON EARTH CAN WE EVEN KEEP IT TOGETHER SO THE WHITE MOOSES CAN CO-EXIST WITH US !!!!!

well three months of the most full on situations and beauty, love, laughter, tears joy, the whole range of intense emotions and learning situations.
and we're still going at it...but things are improving, and soon enough the ship will be back on an even keel. we may well get a kitten aussi.
Lea - Gael Catalaa is a wonderful kind, soft and warm loving woman who has decided that I am a good man.
I like her.
Music is going well, I play most weeks now in public and also go to Kings Cross in Sydney busking with Jim the Kenyan Rastafarian. Summer has been late but good, and I am still swimming.
Sold a painting yesterday, the first art sale for some time.
Hayden better call soon.
Namaste

my emotions are all 'at sea' if you will pardon the pun concerning the approaching mayhem that the Japanese are going off to the southern ocean to perform.
I will never accept that any killing of whales is alright and the fact that they are going to kill 1,000 of these magnificent animals is an abomination.
I want the whole world to condemn the whole japanese race who obviously support this misguided and insane action.
If I had a ship big enough I would sail it right down there and ram the bejesus out of each and every one of the murderous mother #@*$ers...
I am appalled and so very sad that I have to live in a world that, by its own inaction, condones this immoral, illegal, unsanctioned, deplorable (is that enough adjectives 4 ya?) criminal act of totally unjustified slaughter...
save the whales.....please..............................

yes its a blah cliche, but here is the return of me
its been an interesting time recently, hayden visited me over the new year and i have just been working and saving since then.
I have been drawing, portraits, and playing guitar...writing and recording...have found a couple of very useful musicians to play with now, and its all just for fun these days
summer lasted well into may, but just this past week I have had to go out and buy a heater to keep the room warm at night
am looking for a new job at present, and I am even thinking of returning to Queensland...theres a job come up with a university needing a building maintenance guy on an island that is part of the great barrier reef...this would fit in with a dream that i have had for a long time, and that is to have a job similar to this at Antarticta...I have a dream
also it would be good to spend time exploring this great natural wonder of the world

i missed the celebrations, I was at home cooking for the new years day barbeque with friends...it has been the absolute best time for me recently, and all I can say is that I have earned it
good luck to you all and your family

have the greatest day

thats how I feel these days, like a bear coming out from hibernating all winter...
I am achieveing things I have always only dreamed of doing, and the high-lights are me enrolling in a volunteer age-care program, enrolling at the University, and my son hayden coming to visit...
there are lots of other good and positive things happening as well, and will get aaround to some of them in future blog postings
i am so grateful to be able to have such strength to persevere through all the adversity my life has, and my favourite affirmation is Never, Never, Never give up
I am so happy that I have finally found a way to give something of myself, with nothing in return, just for the love of helping people...
i dont contribute to global warming (I dont drive a car or fly in aeroplanes), and I do as much as I can to avoid the 'consumeristic' society...I admit I have to participate in it a lot, but I try my best...
there are lots of ways to help the environment, and beat consumerism, and i am actually practising as many ways as I discover...
so, till the next installment...
over and out

it has taken me a long time to write a new page but here we go...
I have just begun recently to feel myself again after the awful experience I went through in January this year... a hell of a long time but there it is ...thats just who I am...
I have just recovered from a virus I picked up at work that lasted for a whole month, man there were days there where the best I could do was to walk for about 1/2 an hour.
I have really been enjoying work here in Oz, the money has been fantastic and I heve been saving like mad.
So the weather is being wild and weird, icebergs off the NZ coast, I have been watching so much sport that I think I have reached my limit and now it has to be something really special to gain my attention...eg Roger playing Rafael Nadal at tennis, or the mighty ALL Blacks playing anyone...I guess i will watch NZ play Oz at the rugby league next week but even that doesnt really rate...
so we will see what eventuates in the days to come now that my outlook has improved
