I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else…
But you
Where am I??

random thoughts. random times
the mind.
oh how my mind goes in all sorts of directions.
i have been rebuked.
i got into trouble at work today for not having finished something off sooner.
woops.
im usually pretty good.
is this self sabotage? its probably because ive resented the fact that the thing i didnt do was going to directly benefit the very person who is causing the grief in the first place.
ugh.
old person. rude. unfunny. and racist. my favourite.
i really gotta move on.

finding sanctuary
quite a long extract. but worth the read. some gems here...
"..Virtue is the recognition of the sacred in daily life. As we open the door of virtue in our personal and working lives, we will open the way into a sanctuary of peace for ourselves and for others. We are enabled to lead a unified life with the same values at home and at work, a life that is transparent and has nothing to hide...
Yes indeed, virtue is a narrow door, but the space beyond that door is infinite the infinite space of real sanctuary. The sanctuary that you purchase as a holiday or as a therapy comes to an end; the myth of endless consumption is just that: a myth. As we enter sanctuary through virtue rather than by buying our way in, we can choose to leave consumption outside the door. By entering through this door, we can concentrate on creating new and sacred places in the large space that lies beyond consumption. Virtue is the true door into the sanctuary of infinite space."

chicken sandwiches.
this has to be one of the worst jokes of all time. thanks to my sister Shaz for this one!
Don't Eat Chicken Sandwiches no matter What.......................
A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends..
Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch. They discovered that they both
Brought chicken sandwiches every day! This went on all through the fourth and fifth
Grades, until one day he noticed that her sandwich wasn't a chicken sandwich.
He said, 'Hey, how come you're not eating chicken, don't you like it anymore?'
She said 'I love it but I have to stop eating it.'
'Why?' he asked.
She pointed to her lap and said 'Cause I'm starting to grow little feathers down there!'
'Let me see' he said.
'Okay' and she pulled up her skirt.
He looked and said, 'That's right. You are! Better not eat any more chicken.'
He kept eating his chicken sandwiches until one day he brought peanut butter.
He said to the little gir l, 'I have to stop eating chicken sandwiches, I'm starting to get feathers
Down there too!'
She asked if she could look, so he pulled down his pants for her!
She said
'Oh, my God, it's too late for you! You've already got the NECK and GIBBLETS!!!

daylight saving & brainwaves
love it.
... also....
currently been thinking of ways to get things for fREE.
its AMAZING what you can come up with when youre doing things on a tighter budget! Im trying very dilligently to do the following...
not upgrade my phone
making lunch everyday
not buying unncessary 'coffees'
drinking/eating reserves of tea i already have (in place of coffee runs)
not having to pay to 'exercise' ( i quit the gym about a year ago)
... going to balmoral to swim instead...
so... now...
new thought...
i'll work for a few hours a week at northsydney pool (cos i have an austswim qualification) and hopefully get free access to the facilities there!! (its normally about $5.50 a pop!!! -- which costs more than actually CROSSING the sydney harbour bridge, let alone swim up and down just under it!)
so... i made the call... and like most swim schools--- they love and need and crave the likes of me... so if anyone ever thinks they want to make a bit of extra cash that doesnt involve alcohol and splitting tips and doing something active... i recommend teaching swimming! :)
note: you do not have to be a tops swimmer to teach it... just an ability to get by swimming 150m in a couple of strokes without drowning ... :P

observations on my way to work
its funny how you view life depending on what mental state/ stage you are in.
i got up early today (hurrah) and decided to get to work early for the public service (yes, i got to work before 9--- 8:30am in fact!)
I noticed the following and i thought it was all very peculiar:
the skin of quarter chunks of watermelon on the bush path on the way to the train station this morning
as i was on the train, i noticed 'couples' on the train and one in particular was a guy with a youngish trendy chick. i noticed he wore white loafers. (if you have ever encountered the book-- never date a guy with alligator shoes-- you'll know what i mean i.e. white shoes= players= danger!)
i was listening to my new downloaded music... not new music, but new to my collection to get me happy that a) its friday and b) how i love daylight saving and the sunshine across the bridge on the way to work... Feist "Mushaboom" is a new favourite... as "The Shins" 2001 debut album has some really tops tunes on it.
i also decided to bring in my newly purchase JUMBO yellow Cup and saucer set from T2 to work today. Its to help me enjoy my tea bliss, even while im at work! (accompanied by 'Gorgeous Geisha' Green Tea :) JOY!)
I am also thankful for good friends and their exciting new phase of their lives. Margie & Jase just bought a beautiful house in Summer Hill. Wow. My friends are all grown up--- they have lots of bedrooms and beautiful furniture! Im coveting her current ability to be able to set up her own various tea sets in the buffet and other wedding gift paraphenalia (i have no idea how to spell that-- i must look it up!)
other cool stuff is that im heading out to the cat & fiddle tonite to hear some friends play in their band ' the new frontier' or something or rather... i havent heard them live before... but i enjoy live music. lots. (not so much cover bands in pubs--- although i wont scoff at covers, they can be done very very well, like that triple J collection ive heard from various artist's interpretation... was it an australian band that did a cover of kylie's 'cant get you out of my head')
anyhoo.. i am rambling.
oh. im happy too ... because i got up early, i made this .... may i say.. AWESOME smoothie.
so all is good with the world.
HAPPY FRIDAY!

balance and activities.
feeling good. but not adjusting to this daylight savings!
what crazy weather we've been having in sydney eh?
... i have now failed yet again in not talking about something as lame as the weather... and bringing out the 'grannie' within.
... I will embrace!
.... so now that im feeling way better, enjoying work (hurrah!)
... i have filled my mind with thoughts of wanting to do the following this summer...
(somehow i will have to cut back as i do not think it will be physically possible to sustain this level of activity!)
- french lessons
- sculpture class
- life drawing
- stitch n bitch (knitting class)
- swimming/ exercising regularly
- church stuff/ groups/ volunteering
- join the bball group on mondays
- visit more craft markets
- start a craft market
- bake goodies for christmas
- organise life/ brain for living os next year
all the while spending some quality time with family, friends and juggling that in between a full time job and ... eating and sleeping in between!
where can i fit all of this? will have to experiment...
i love that life is an experiment. interesting book i have encountered of late...
www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/ has anyone seen this? he's got some interesting insights, although i will have to say, i think some of it sounds like a whole lotta BS.
