Me without you is like
Google without maps
An iPhone without apps
A bar with no taps

Me without you is like
Shoes with no laces
Solitaire without any aces
Melbourne Cup without races

All this quotes about Love and nothings more powerful than Love…every heard of an Apache helicopter? Well that massive piece of metal is much much stronger and powerful than love – its got missiles and machine bloody guns in them.. duh !

Don’t know about Brad but my life’s pretty much in a pit right now

 

Early to bed early to rise
Is for the working class
Rich people get to sleep in

Interesting. I turned on the tv as I do, and there was this person talking about anger. He said if you are angry, sit down, if you are still angry, lie down. And I did just that – I decided to lie down. Not sure if the anger went away because I was laying down or I decided to text a friend to tell him about what I saw on tv. Then he asked me, what if you are still angry after lying down? That my friends is a question that will be answered when the time is right, or when I find an answer. In the meantime, if you are angry, then sit down, if you are still angry, then lie down – and if you are angry after that, then chant this mantra, ” Everybody stops and they stare at me, I got passion in my pants and I ain’t afraid to show it, show it, show it, show it, I’m sexy and I know it.

 

If only my you could hear my inner voice, it was surely screaming on top of its lungs that is, if the inner voice has another set of lungs inside its own body structure; and that if, the inner voice has another body – that’s a wee bit inception-ish isn’t it.

 

Well I received a speeding fine, therefore the reason my inner voice was screaming. Unfortunately, in recent times, my  inner voice speaks louder than my real voice, on the other hand my real voice isn’t loud and doesn’t speak much – it types like what I am doing now.  All my emotions, be it, joyful or tearful, are documented – for training and coaching purposes. Not really, those are the words that I have been hearing lately on the phone every time I have called Telstra.

 

Back to the speeding ticket, I cannot explain why I got the ticket, I insist and I am adamant that I wasn’t speeding, I DO NOT speed (in capital letters). I am a good driver, and modest about it. The faulty camera clocked the wrong speed. That darned immoral, dishonest, devious and sinful camera, I shall never forgive you and neither will the people who you have so compulsively snapped shots of will ever forgive you in a million years. How I wish the lightning or the thunder from the skies strike you just as you are about to so shamefully flash at another victim. How I wish that the pole you are so attached to, the same pole that you love so dearly one day “screws” you, pardon my French but I am a bit sensitive about this today.

 

Oh one day I, together will all the deprived and unfortunate people who you have “screwed”, once again pardon my French (oh you silly MD for teaching me bad words) will see that we are given justice.

 

I don’t have the power, to fight this unjust and prejudiced bureaucracy. Oh but it hurts, my heart bleeds that I am so vulnerable, that I can’t stand to fight for what I believe in, to do the right thing and be the voice of all you people out there who have been the victim of this brutality and sadistic practice. I am, but an ordinary law-abiding citizen. My conscience is clear and clean that I have spoken for you and you and you sitting out there, remember, this is not the end of the world – yes we are the victims but there are people out there who are in far worse circumstances than you and me. A story comes to mind, (get a slushy and popcorn), it’s about a person who has lost his arms, his legs, his face has been disfigured and after all that, he lost his wife, yet he is living, wearing the suit of his life, a face mask, and now he has the force with him, my heart goes out to him.  He is no other than your father, Anakin Skywalker, however he was rechristened Darth Vader, by the Emperor, and he became the Dark Lord of the Sith.  In spite of the atrocities, Darth Vader now has the force with him.   And here we are, in a situation entirely different, but it feels so similar, Darth Vader was pushed in a hot lava, mighty, ferocious and violent and we are flashed every minute every day, by the cruel and vicious lights of the camera that blinds our vision when we see that official letter, with so-called evidence of our own car, delivered by the messenger of the Transport system, the Australia Post, there are all connected, they are all scheming against us. When will this stop?

 

However, I only hope that the penalty that I will so regretfully paid, contributes towards building of better roads and not towards obtaining more of those shameful cameras.

 

May the force be with you and you and you sitting out there.

thought about a book which I read many years ago.  I picked up that book again today to remind me some of the important lessons on change.  I often type quotes and read inspiriing quotes that others post.  But I wonder how many of us type such things to please our ownselves.  How many of us actually practise what we preach.  I try to – I do the little things, but I admit that I am afraid – not of change but what how this change will affect the others.  

 

This note is not about my fears, but once again I am typing quotes to remind myself that if and when change happens – I am prepared.  Here’s some quotes by Dr Spencer Johnson.

 

“Change happens when the pain of holding on becomes greater than the fear of letting go.” 

 

“Life moves on and so should we” 

 

“He knew sometimes some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don’t do something, it can prompt you into action. But it is not good when you are afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.” 

 

“The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists” ——–

Interesting… some very good thoughts but a bit naive and self-righteous. The poster surely gives you that initial feeling of “uplift” but then its back to reality isn’t it.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to just give up job, your responsibilities, and your marriage for that matter?

The thought of trying new things, getting lost, travelling, and being creative sounds good on a mental/spiritual plane but time/lifestyle wouldn’t allow these as often as you would like – trust me I hardly watch TV

“Life is simple”, if it is then your life must be so boring and you not doing it right. Life is complicated and that’s what makes it interesting. You wouldn’t realise it, but at a certain stage of living your life, it gets complicated we tend to complicate it without even realising. This is when we understand the value of life, then only you will realize that “Keep on Dreaming” will not change things for you, make those dreams come true, we have to do something about it.

I like the idea of sharing passions, passionate people do inspire me 

Okay I better stop over-analyzing this and appreciate its message which is simple that Life IS Short, indeed.
