Another year over, a new one jusy begun.
January 1st 2007 02:57
There's alot of personal stuff that happened this year, lots of it I won't bother you with, but this will hopefully help things get out into perspective.
Last year was interesting. I experienced more black and white last year, the closest to grey that I got was going from one to the other. The first half of the year began well. I felt great, was exercising alot, was begining a new job where I get paid more. Things generally looking up. What could have happened that could have stopped this?
May did. In May I went through a series of small but large enough personal tragedies that were enough to knock the absolute stuffing out of me (I know I need to lose a little weight, but this really didn't help). What was most interesting was to see what happened with people around me. Some helped, some didn't know I needed help, some did know but did nothing. But I learned from it. I learned that if I know someone is going through hell, you have the duty of encourgaging them. I don't mean trite, cheap, psychological crap (which only ever helps people feel worse) I mean doing the decent thing. Sending an SMS, sitting for coffee and just listening to them whinge and moan can mean alot to them. It can mean at least, that someone cares. I learned alot about my true character (which was pretty scary) and I ended up closer to God. So it wasn't all a loss. I consider it almost a Pyrrhic victory.
Time decided to trickle by at the exact time of one hour every sixty minutes and we ended up in August. August was interesting. August was bloody glorious. Interesting in that I was finally starting to feel like being human again. I'd had alot cut away from me (I do still need to lose a bit of weight though) but most of who I am, who I should be is here. I am being added to all the time (bloody Christmas lunch, do you know how many leftovers we have? Far too much delicious food). And speaking of being added to......I am going out with the most amazing woman in the world. Natalie is the woman that God has brought into my life and I am more than thankful for it. I am always being blessed by, strengthened by and amazed by how wonderful she really is. I mean it, she really is the perfect woman, a miracle (I believe in miracles, since you came along) and with every miracle, we need to grow up, realise stuff and take the next step.
I know that this year I will be called to become alot more responsible, alot more grown up and to bring to fruition the things that I know I have to do. And so I will.
I'm looking forward to continuing the posting that I will be putting on here. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys better.
Via con Dios, Gloria in excelsis Deo, Dia dhuit etc.

That is actually one of the best posts I've read on Orble mate.
Not too sure about God pimping chicks but the rest of it is pretty sound.
My March was a shocker.
It was so bad if it was a movie it wooda starred Adam Sandler & Kevin Costner.
But back to you,
No jokes, you sound like a really nice guy.
I wish you all the best in 2007 mate.

you manage to tie sincerity and humour together perfectly, which is a sign of a good mind and honest heart. If you're ever in Sydney, I wanna hang out, at the very least, buy you a beer.
I'm not sure who would have starred in the movie of my life. Part of me hopes Johnny Depp, mainly because he can do broody and interesting. He's also pretty bright. I also hope that things have been better since then.
Funnily enough, I know people that would say I am not a nice guy. They'd be pretty accurate. I usually aim for good, niceness just happens to join in.
I wish you the best, cause I know that is how you write.
