nitrous oxide

Today was another abnoxiously hot day, but that was nothing out of the ordinary. This notorious heat is something you would expect from summer in Sydney. I still distinctly recall the famously hot days back in the 90's, one particular day boasted 42 degrees. I'm thankful today was nothing like that. Cindy and I went out to buy some groceries despite the heat.

I suggested we stop by at the park near our place to rest a bit. I instinctively went for the swings and Cindy also followed suit. I still remember going to this park with friends when we were in high school. It was our hang out after school. We ate there, gave each other advice, laughed and even knitted there once. I haven't really laughed freely since all the strange happenings which occured as of late. I scoffed at Cindy claiming that she could not swing higher than I could, she accepted the challenge.

The simplest of things could cheer me up and the simplest things can also frighten me. Getting an injection, blood tests, spiders and even raging thunder scares me. My mind wanders frequently into the boundless depths of the past, sometimes the past seems much more clear cut than the ambiguous future. But I suppose life would be magnificently boring if it were predictable or if there were no risks to take.

I've spent my last few days indulging in too much charcoal chicken and an assortment of desserts. So much for going on a diet. I keep saying I'll start jogging, yet my new sneakers just keep collecting dust. I've been pondering what to save up for and a holiday to Antarctica seems rather tempting, I've always dreamt of going there ever since I was a child. I suppose I like to chase after the unconventional. Hope you have a sweet week ahead! Image credit:  impossibleastronaut

I can hear the rain slowly falling upon the roof and the trickle of rainwater down the roof gutter. I felt a burning sensation from the antiseptic explode around my grazed knee. I have learned an important lesson, do not cross the road whilst you are tremendously drowsy. Thankfully there were no cars on the road, I picked up my belongings and limped home. It was just a bad week for me. I've secured myself a job over the holiday and I rather look forward to it. I plan to enter the  Canon Photo5  competition, I just haven't had much inspiration the last few days. I don't anticipate on winning but it certainly seems appealing. The competition seems like a great way to challenge one's perception, to be creative, to take something ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.  I tend to erupt in sheer contempt when someone taunts me, I've learned to conceal that now. I find myself avoiding certain people and situations because I know I can't hold my

Happiness is a never ending quest for many of us. Some never quite find it whilst some spend their entire lives searching for it. Happiness is intangible, you can't see it nor can you touch it. You can't see all things with plain sight, sometimes you have to look much deeper than that.  The most common mistake that people commit is the presumption that happiness is something which must constantly be pursued. Instead of aimlessly searching, we should create our own happiness. Sometimes you must brave the dark hour of reason before you can appreciate all that is before you.  Friends are the very foundation of my entity. Without foundation, I would not exist. This is me writing to give thanks to those who mean anything at all to me. Some of them won't see this at all, but that's fine by me. Thank you for your counsel, encouragement and simply being there.  P.S I have no idea who those guys are in the picture above, but they sure made this a very memorable pict
