as the year comes to an end and my heart to a gluttonous halt, i think it's introspection time! plus other tidbits.
what a year!
what a year?
it's neither here nor there, 2006, promoted then resigned, contending with steep edges of a new way of living, learning - yes, frustrating - yes, longterm enlightenment - probably not, hectic.
boy oh boy, how bemusing, 2006.
2007 looms, others have leaked bigger and bolder plans throughout the year to 'go live' in 07. many resigned to letting the winds take them wherever it wishes, i like that thought, uncontrollable, adventurous.
i got a coffee this morning, as you do, and a little voice cried out in my head "i don't care anymore!" why? i think it all started as i crossed the road to the coffee shop this morning; a slight breeze had come across my face blowing my hair to one side as it does when i'm holidaying up the coast. only when i got to the other side of the road, the to-do list i had set out on my desk for the new year popped into my head. get fucked i thought, annoyed from robbing a minute of escapism from myself. i only wanted to grab my coffee and head back to the holiday house we'd rented......oh.... defiance set in, "i don't care anymore!". in an instant my building turned into a 40 storey monster, with hands on hips waiting for me to return to work.
"ra ra ra"
i've heard that alot. i've spent ample time there, many of the stories begin and end with ra ra ra, such as this particular story
"... and then she started crying ra ra ra, i didn't know what to do, so i told her to calm down ra ra ra cos we were in the middle of the mall, ra ra ra"
it's all quite amusing.
so long 2006.
