literary genius........ not
Monday, Feb. 20, 2006
I feel the need to write.
I am no literary genius, have never made out to be. I just get stuck for words alot ot the time. Strange, I find myself in similar situations in real life too.
Real life? How real is this then? Sometimes I get the urge to cut myself off totally from all online contact and get out into the "real" world more. Then I watch and read the news and realise that it isn't all its cracked up to be. I want to go out and be the life of the party, slut myself around and do everything that I know I shouldn't but then I ask, where would that get me. It might leave some memories and some moments to tell further down the track but I hate bragging. Honest.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone would miss me, how my family would react to me not being here. I realise that I came awfully close several years back when I was in a serious car accident that I survived without a scratch. My bothersome sister even admitted once to shedding a tear when she picked up the phone and found that I was rushed into emergency after the crash. As much as I hate her annoying ways, it assured me that brothers and sisters really all they are cracked up to be. I would hate to be an only child, however I would have preferred a brother for some strange reason. I guess you crave what you have never had or can't have.
Was that a bit deep?
Apologies if it was.
I was inspired to do an entry after MK's recent entry with the popsicle but couldn't really come up with anything witty or smart ass like. Very unlike me......
On the home front, have been trying to find my birth certificate so I can go and apply for a passport finally. Yes, I must admit I have never been out of the country before, but have never really had a reason to either. It looks like I may be up for a trip to China for work as we get our Asian production facility and branch into full swing. Am not holding my hopes up, but would be a good opportunity to spread out a bit more and earn some more dollars away from home.
Oh, speaking of travel. Managed to get a walk through our so talked about white elephant new airport terminal last friday. It was actually open to normal domestic flights for the first time. It seems far too big and wasted on us, but I am sure we will get used to it. It feels to much like Sydney and Melbourne, but of course its better. Gotta love interstate rivalry. Just wait till the paint starts peeling and the all glass facade gets filthy after the next big dust storm. The shine will wear off evantually. But the Coopers Alehouse looks interesting, located right in the departure lounge too :)
Hmmm.... a disjointed entry overall.... now the week ahead. Fun and exciting times at work. Still no closer to hiring my replacement. I need to go back through a few entries to try and figure out when they first advertised for one. Has been far too long. Maybe they aren't really trying.
Anyway, bbinafew. Don't do anything I wouldn't do now.....

P.S. am not endorsing this, but have a read.....
