- Brrr, it's cold in here. It's cold out there, it's cold everywhere.
- I am constantly amazed at the amount of info I get from Facebook. I have not yet watched a World Cup game, but I feel like the narratives I read on status updates equips me enough info to make educated comments about almost all games.
- I was told today, "Feel free to tell me your deep, dark secrets, given that I lose my short-term memory anyway." Haha, nice try.

June 24, 2010 - It's a sad day for Australia.
Goodbye, Samantha Stosur.
Goodbye, Socceroos.
Goodbye, Kevin Rudd.
"He was elected by the people, and should have been judged by the people. A midnight-knock-on-the-door and death by political execution was no way for an Australian Prime Minister to go." - Tony Abbott. Well said. Failing to see how this crazy little scheme could bring support to the ALP in general. It's a crazy day in Australian politics.

I can't help but feel it is extremely unfair.
What good can come from this, and when will this end? Just when you think it's reached the hardest it can, the world throws up another great idea. Great.
I am grateful for the many distractions and people that have made this nightmare more bearable. I am even more convinced now how leaving people to drown is really not favourable. Give people the benefit of the doubt, don't over-think it, just know that you can provide value just by offering a helping hand.
At the end of the day, though, I can't help but feel it is not fair.
Help me sort through these irrational thoughts.
And, please, help me sleep tonight.

Smile =)
"You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile"
- Mathew Schafer, aka Uncle Kracker

Suddenly really thankful for all the support I have received lately.
People that have inconvenienced themselves - spending some dollars to have dinner to catch up, those that have dropped by to make sure things are ok, those that have offered up their time and energy, when obviously there are a lot of things already going on in their lives. I guess for me, going out of one's way really means a lot, and not just being there when it's convenient, when one feels like it, or when one has time.
There's quite a few that have been really terrific recently. I believe none of those people read this.
When things are better, I will thank them. This is a reminder to self to not to take people for granted, and a reminder that things could be much, much worse.
Tell me how I could be supporting you better today.

Memories that haunt
In the stillness, the images return
The swaying trees
The stumble to the ground
The cry of the birds
The call of the lost
The moistness of the ground
The tears from the night
Haunting, lingering, penetrating
Sleepless hours ahead
As I remember.

I'm exhausted.
There's tired and weary and there's plain exhaustion.
The other day I jumped in the pool, struggled to do five laps, and just had to get out. The weight of the head made it too hard for me to keep floating.
There's receiving phone calls and then straight afterwards, forgetting who it was you were talking to.
Help, calling out for rest.

It's all a bad dream.
The car starts moving slower
The traffic lights start spinning around
The sick feeling in the stomach intensifies
All the memories too viscious
All the images too strong
All the questions I couldn't answer
It's all a bad dream
It's not real
I'll wake up tomorrow things being like before
It should be
It has to be
It will be

1st day of Winter, 2010.
The first day of Winter was surprisingly warm. At least, it felt warm to me. My colleague was mentioning that it actually was very cold this morning. Not sure if that was the case, but I do find that I get fooled if the sun is shining; I just automatically assume it is warm. Not that I mind being fooled in such way.
Fox FM was having the audience call in today to give their opinion of whether a lady, who's husband was suffering from serious depression, should give up and leave. Of surprise to me, the views were quite equally divided (52:48 for staying). Reasons for staying involved primarily around doing it for the children. Not disagreeing with that, I was quite surprised for the lack of mention for the husband himself. To me, would you leave a loved one if they suffer any other form of illness? "In sickness and in health", apparently. Find the balance, take care of yourself, but don't leave your husband, don't leave your friend. It could be the last straw to push someone from distress into utter despair.
New addictions can be... well, addicting.
Some good news on the commitment end of one of my good friends. Congratulations on your engagement, matey =) Good work =) Let me make you a strange tea/drink sometime in the near future to celebrate, in the usual Lytton St way. Thanking God in advance as I know he will look after you.
Everyone needs a bit of looking after; who did you look out for today? Send someone a message to let them know you're thinking of them. It could do nothing, it could bring a smile to someone's face, and in some situations, it's been known to save a life.
