Where Are You?
By · Comments
It seems I have been AWOL for a while. Really there’s no reason and in fact I have started a lot of posts but just haven’t completed any. It’s been hectic with work mainly and I haven’t had much of a chance to get on here.
Well Brisbane’s Riverfire is tomorrow night and I can’t wait. It will be an awesome night. This year I will be at Southbank so if you see me say hi!. Ok, well there will be thousands of people there lol, but in my experience that’s when you seem to run into everyone.
Like last year I’ll be sure to take some photo’s, hopefully the camera batteries won’t mysteriously die. I love how every digital camera I’ve had seems to periodically say the batteries are flat but then they’re mysteriously full again lol.
So when it comes to posts you will find they all start appearing soon, very soon. So stay tuned. Love you all.

I Miss

I’m not delusional when I say this, but sometimes I really miss the feeling of innocence that I had when I was 12. Not that I was that innocent but there is a simplicity that exists before adulthood. You know that feeling when you have a day that is carefree and sweet. A day when you just enjoy the time you are spending with someone without the complications of alcohol or sex or any of the more adult like behaviours. Without the worries of work or anything else.
I had one of these days a week or so ago. It was so amazing. A day when I just had a relaxing, worry free day just enjoying the scenery, the food and beauty in the world. I am determined to have more of these.
I really love life and love the people that are in my life. I think if we take the time to just enjoy the goodness and happiness in the world we would be much happier. Forget the alcohol, forget the parties, just get away and relax with nature. It’s really difficult to explain the feeling but it is achievable. I wish I could explain it better but I can’t.
I think too often we spend our time dealing with the day to day problems and stresses that life throws at us. We end up with a busy calendar or just exhausted. This is not what life is about. Life is about family and spending time with those we love. Take some time and just remember what gives you true feelings of peace. I say peace because people often think they are the happiest when they are busy or partying or the centre of attention. But the reality is we are at our happiest when we are at peace. When do we feel the most at peace? When we are just spending simple moments with someone we love or simply by ourselves.
Work out when you have those peaceful happy moments and turn it into a whole day. Truly the most amazing thing.

Peering into……

Well yesterday we here in Australia had an election and the day ended with a hung parliament. I’m not sure how this will turn out over the next week or two but I will say irrelevant of the outcome both major parties need to admit to the people they have failed. When you have an election within a two party system and both parties average 50% it has to be a sign. When half the country don’t want you then you certainly have to think seriously about it.
My opinion is simple. We have two major parties whom are both full of bullshit (I know, such a surprise in politics lol). What do I mean? Well I think there are a lot of factors that affected the outcome but generally we are sick of the lies and propaganda. All the public really wants is for politicians to come out and say what they really believe, what they can achieve and what they can’t, in realistic timeframes.
I don’t want promises that they won’t follow through on or use an excuse when they don’t achieve. I want strong policies. I may not agree with them but if those policies are transparent I can make an informed decision. I read through a lot of the policies that were out there prior to the election and to be honest within the two major parties I liked probably 50% of what I read. I will talk about my preferred party at a later time and talk about why.
I’m not a huge fan of politics but I have strong views on policy for this country and what I think. Whether others agree with me is not the point. Even if I am right or not is not the point. They are my views and I will stand by my decisions. You will never get one party that gets everything right, however a party that is responsible and tells it how it is will be sufficient. The thing I see is that political parties seem to forget that they have a responsibility to do what is right, fair and just. Yes they need to represent the people but they also need to make unpopular decisions if it is the right thing to do.
Unfortunately in the two party system we have one leader who seems to use his bigotry and sexism to gain popularity and another who seems to promote the Christian views whilst living in sin (doesn’t make much sense). Funny enough is that this leader has no problem accepting preferences from a formidable party that has an openly gay man at the helm.
Right now I think we need clear policy and direction with a no bullshit approach. Bring it on!
