And I can't stop when it comes to you...

Why do i even fucking bother?!?!
Whats the point? It never goes anywhere.

Stop trying, Angel Love.
It seems it isn't worth it.
EVER.

Ugh. Religious Blogs

Could there be any more jesus blogs on here if they tried?!
I'm all for freedom of religion and
expression and shiz, but for real... Give me something interesting to read.
Which makes me wonder, are there so many music and art blogs on here that mine would get lost in the crowd?
In which case, do i make my ramblings on here more interesting, or write what i want because i know nobody's reading it?
And while I'm on the subject, way too many craft and scrapbook blogs, too.

BLUNT

Foot Spa

I'm out on my balcony enjoying the sunshine, and all of a sudden, i remember my foot spa.
You know, those things that sit in the cupboard, that present you got from what's her face, the plastic space-taker that never gets used.
So i haul it out here with all the accompaniments, foot scrub, nail polish, clippers, the works, along with my phone, smokes, and iced coffee. And i have to say, this is a pretty fine way to spend an afternoon...
So go find yours, wherever you've stored it away. (Look under the bed, or on your top shelf if you're having trouble.) Treat yourself for at least ten minutes.
Then put it away for another five years, like i probably will...
:-)

MELBOURNE (my favourite Australian city)

Melbourne, Victoria, on the East Coast of Australia, is my favourite city in this fair country of ours. I first went there in 1998 for a wedding. Being driven from the airport, through the city to the house we were staying at, I was immediately struck by the architecture. It is such a beautiful city, old buildings with charm and character, trees along the streets, the trams clickety-clacking along and the tram tracks taking up space in the middle of the roads, the funny driving manouvre called a "hook turn", the fashion sense of the people treading the footpaths.
I went there again in 2005 for a business conference, unfortunately meaning I didn't get to see much, but I did get to experience Melbourne shopping, and the lust for the city continued!
In 2009 I visited twice, in May and June, and got to experience the night life, which is vast, rich, and fabulous! The locals (if you can find a nice one, it's about 50/50 I've found) will show you the good places, or you can walk around until you spy a trendy hot-spot (characterized by the massive line out front).
My last trip was this past February for my birthday, and it was as captivating as ever. Even more exciting for me, I went with Vaughn and one of my best friends, Alice, and got to play tour guide! Showing people I love around the city I love was one of the best experiences I've had. "Here's where to shop, where to eat, where to party, where to sightsee, my favourite lane, my favourite club, my favourite bar....."
Heaven.
Maybe it's the similarities between Melbourne and San Francisco (which is my favourite city in the whole world) that make me love it so, I'll never know for sure, but love it I do, with all my heart.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Vaughn Hamilton Irwin

Here are some pics of the man i love. In all total and complete honesty, he is the kindest, most generous, easy-going, compassionate, loving man i have ever met. I've known many people and have had many friends and relationships, but this one takes the cake, so to speak. There will be a lot more on this amazing man in blogs to come. I love you, Vaughn. You astound me daily with your kindness and generosity. Xoxo

Quieting The Mind

It has been suggested on numerous occasions that i take up meditation, as a way to switch off the continuous noise in my head. One of the frustrations of being me is the way my over-analytical brain just can't seem to switch off. Once again, a good friend has suggested meditation, and i think I'm ready to give it a go. I've always been a bit anti meditation, I'm not sure why. Probably because I've never been very good at it. But why shoukd that stop me?! So I'm taking her advice, and the way to go about it as a novice, I'm told, is to stare at the flame of a candle, and focus your mind on that. I wonder if anyone else has some good tips...
