    Another slow Sunday morning,,,

    Another slow Sunday morning...
     
    Sitting here with not alot to do but listen to music and think...
     
    I've been thinking about making some New Years resolutions, much like every year...  tho i can't really think of anything...  nothing new, or nothing i'm not allready doing has come to mind...
     
    I have gotten my enrolment forms for TAFE...  have to fill them out and have them sent over the next couple of days...  i am looking forward to it, tho i have yet to make up my mind what i will do after i have finished...
     
    I have plenty of things i have to focus on at work, so that should keep me very busy into the New Year...
     
    There are things that i think i should devote some time to...  tho i am allready doing that so they can't count as New Years resolutions...
     
    So...  what can i do?
     
    I need a plan... 
     
    On that...  better go think of one...
     
    Take good care good people...

    Passing time... Thinking out loud...

    Passing some time...  some thinking out loud...
     
    Thoughts...
     
    Looking forward... 
     
    All of this relates in a way to what i wrote yesterday...
     
    Back to school next year...  i haven't finished high school and it's always been one of those things i've wanted to get done...  i've tried a couple of times but lacked the drive and focus to get it done...  this time round i think i'm older and wiser, have enough drive and focus to get it done and done well...
     
    Beyond that...  maybe go to university... maybe a degree in engineering or design or something along those lines...  what i always wanted to do growing up...
     
    I don't know what i'll do for sure...  all i know is that i can't stay doing the one thing...  i need to grow and learn...
     
    I am looking forward to getting another thing done...  i have always had a list in my mind of all the things i'd like to do, mostly i've gotten them done or i am now in the process of doing...  quite strange really, i've never been one to finish everything i start...  even now it tends to take a few goes...  but it does in the end get done...  tho sometimes in a round about sort of way...
     
    Thinking about the year ahead...  i feel quite optimistic, i happen to think things should go from strength to strength...
     
     
    As i was saying yesterday...  it certianly feels different...  exciting tho...
     
    For the first time perhaps ever...  i feel young...  it's hard to describe how that feels...  i'm 27 yet i have more energy and zest for life than i have ever had...
     
    Thinking about all of the things i've got to look forward to...  i can't help but smile...  it all has been a long time coming...  after so much it's simply liberating to know and to feel that a better tomorrow is coming...
     
    On a very personal level...  i feel totally different, i am different in so many ways...  it's hard to comprehend...  am i differnt for the better?  For the worse?  The answer to that i'm still giving much thought to... 
     
    On the face of it i do like the new me...  tho there are parts i don't like, parts i seam to be missing from the old me that i'd like back...  but all in all i like me...  for the first time in a long time i like me... 
     
    I think that's something i shall endeavour to explore more... 
     
    It's getting late so i'll get back to this tomorrow...
     
    Take care good people...

    When the music stops...

    When the music stops...
     
    Today i realised...  that old feeling that flowed in my life, especially over the last few years...  like a famiar song...  that old familiar song, the music has stopped...
     
    Another chapter has come to a close...  perhaps now for good...  
     
    Now i guess...  it's time to find a new way home :)
     
    Take care everyone,

    Got new shoes... :)

    I got new shoes...  :) 
     
    It's been a long time since i got a new pair of shoes...  first pair of white shoes i've owned since i was a kid... 
     
    It's going to take some time to get used to not wearing boots tho...  tho i think i can handle that...  :)
     
    Other than that, all i have to write about is that i don't have any time off over Christmas, only the public holidays...  i was hoping for time off, but there is work to be done...
     
    Anyway...  i had better get back to work...
     
    Take care people,

    I need new shoes...  that's about all i've got...  been a slow week what can i say...
     
    I've got some Christmas shopping to do...  heaps of stuff to buy, not a lot of time to do it tho...  may have left it a tad late...  but you get that hahaha

    Up early on a Sunday morning...

    Up early on a Sunday morning...
     
    I've been thinking about deleting some of my bloggs, the more dark and depressing ones...  then i thought, if people don't like them they don't have to read them...  they represent me...  all of me, the good and the bad, they are my truth...  the world as i see it and my life and the things that've happened to me as i see them...
     
    I've spent a so much time learning to express myself in the way that i so and i think it wouls be a shame to throw all of that away just to put forward a happier image of who i am... 
     
    I haven't had the time of late to put as much thought or effort into my writing, tho i have had a few moments of inspiration however, tho i have missed the chance to put ink to paper and write it all down...  i can't believe how much i'd actualy miss being able to write, but being so busy of late has meant i haven't been able to...  so sitting here on a quiet Sunday morning with some music on i thought i'd get some overdue writing done...
     
    I have been thinking about my life...  what it is i am looking for...  where it is i am going...  where do i want to go...  but the more thought i put into it the more i realise...  that for now i am where i want to be, i have an awesome job at what can only be descibed as automotive paradise, i have great friends that have stood by me for more than a decade now...  i know this may sound odd, but it's nice to just be in a spot in your life where you can take a breath and get ready for the future... 
     
    As far as the future goes, my life has taken over so to speak, the horizon looks good for a change, i know that in a few years i will be in the position i have always dreamt of doing what it is i love.  For now my career and future career has taken on more importance with me, i have to get it right, i don't have too much time to waste anymore... 
     
    I have decided to go back to school and finish my Year 12, and perhaps do something else after that, definately automotive related tho, cars have become my life and my passion...  it's somewhat funny, as a kid i was always the one most likely to be reading a book and thought i was destined to be an accountant or something, but i guess we are who are and we all have to follow our hearts...  i did amd now when i walk past someone tuning a new Ferrari in the moring to get to my desk i think to myself with a smile "Awesome...  simply awesome...  "
     
    Things in my personal life are as usual...  interesting hahaha...  i'm single, but for the first time, just the way i like it...  i'm taking a breather...  things are calm and that's just the way i want it to stay for a while... 
     
    Money wise...  i'm broke, but the bills get paid, that's all i can do for now, tho my investment plans seam to be going ahead...  hopefully by this time next year i'll be able to say that i'm comfortable and doing well...  but i have a long term plan to get myself financially where i want to be, well...  where i need to be, and in a year and a half my biggest debt will be paid and from then on in thing should be pretty awesome, might even look into buying a house or sending Charlotte to private school...  who knows, i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
     
    It's Christmas soon, and i love Christmas, i hope this year i can get everyone what they want, or atleast something to show my appreciation for the things they do...  for my family especially i hope i can give to them as much as they have given to me over the years... 
     
    In the New Year i hope i can make good on some promises, and i have made the resolution to be truly a man of his word...  reliablility has never been one of my strong points and i want that to change...  and another resolution i want to make for New Years...  to start giving back, i have asked for and needed a lot of help from my friends and family over the last few years, and now is the time to start giving it back...
     
     
    I think this year has been better than the last, and i hope the New Year brings with it an even better year, not just for me, but for all of my friends and family...  i hope that in the New Year things simply get better :)
     
    Take good care...
