Blue?

Why so sad? Why my friends, do you dwell on the pain of the winter, when the opportunity and peace of spring is here?

The skies are clear, without clouds to obscure the light from above, as your minds should be clear, allowing the light from within to emanate from within you.

Nature appears to be reborn, however life has never left us, it is always within, no matter the external form.

Do not get bogged down in all that is transient and therefore illusionary, be free.

Shock

Pretty average days in some respects, however during physics today someone who had no past history had a fit. Yes it was very shocking, however reflecting back today, what i found shocking, well maybe the verb is too strong, was that a great majority of the class was almost paralyzed in their chairs, a number of whom plan to do health science and go on to do medicine.
Medicine is not clear cut and ideal, with a definitive answer like theoretical science, it has a very significant humanity part to it too.

Medicine is about caring about the welfare of people not the size of your paycheck or brain.

That is all...

Ouch.....

Wow its been a long time away from the blog, yet life still carries on regardless. Was planning to have a good old yarn here earlier today but, nah thought it would be better just to talk about my speed skating session today.....
2 crashes, 1 relay fall, 1 failed relay timing, 1 hurting leg.

Thats sums it up nicely, the 2 crashes were due to my blades not being offset enough, (my boot was touching the ice =S) must be me going faster after all that working out, o by the way if anyone wants to get stronger fast, do the workout at www.stronglifts.com it really works! Anyway, if that wasn't bad enough one of the slower speedskaters pushed me OVER during the relay exchange. Lol peguin slide across the ice rink.
At least I didn't get owned by someone else when i fell (like in the photo above) I guess I should count myself lucky.

The Weekend

(Loling at the santa hat)
Anyway, this weekend was pretty, busy I guess. Started it with new workout plan, that involves a lot of recovery days and intense workouts, thats what I need! So that means more muscle, less time working out, what more do you want?

And that was my saturday morning sorted, just had to think about Russel's " 18th party" (laser strike) me and Hao decided not to go to the swimming part, he was "not keen", I didn't want the life guard to come and save me haha. So then I thought, Russels party, we havn't even got him anything! So then me and Hao hutted down to Westfield for something, we couldn't find anything creative so we bought him a $20 Dick Smith voucher, and split the cost >< years ="(.">< 3 guys sharing a $20 voucher was a little too cheap for me. hey we did a lot better than most of the people who turned up at laser strike and gave him nothing.

Laser strike, not really my choice of 18th B'dae event but there you go, exactly the same as his 17th (and probs 16th but I don't know). But this thing indicated that exactly a year had past since me and Hao became closer (as friends lol). He came over to my house and we walked to the bus stop, 16 mins 80 for the next bus, man the busses suck at night! it was only 5:55 on a sat!.
Then it was an hour of talking to Hao till we arrived at laser strike to see nobody else was there.... the birthday boy didn't arrive till 20min after he said to come, tut tut. Then the guy gave us random teams, gay! Well my team won anyway =) and guess who got the highest score *ME* =D all those hours spent playing call of duty on wii were not wasted!

Its amazing how sweaty one gets when taking laser strike seriously. John took off his jacket to show of his guns, and everyone hutted down to BK, except Nick and Alistair and we spent an hour there, talking about, guy stuff haha. Me and John walked into BK and jokingly said we should get something from countdown to be healthy, omg great idea, lol Primo extremo!

Then it was the bus ride home, more guy talk with Hao, man like 3 hours at a stretch! pretty extreme. not very exciting but yea, and i can't really be stuffed talking about Sunday so yea that it from me

Peace``

Sooo tired

right now I feel so tired, I don't even know why im bothering to write up a blog post, quite frankly i don't have much ryhme or reason for what I have been doing lately. But anyway its all because I got semi-woken up at about 5:30, and then my mind started racing. Seriously thinking is a b*tch especially when its early in the morning. Fine ok sometimes we all wake up early in the morning and start thinking sometimes, but the annoying thing that tends to happen, is that we fall back to sleep, often at the wrong time. I finally decided to wake up to 10 to 6, stuff that I'll just go to bed till about 7 just 10 mins. Alarm goes of 10 past 7 result, tired, confused, late for school, and too tired to do any weights now. }=@

True lust! The sexiest thing on four wheels!

OMG, this car is to good to describe with words, the Mclaren F1 LM, its beautiful! It's also athletic too, 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds! And a top speed of 391 kph. Not really a family car, just a 3 seater coupe and has a price tag of about $4 million US. (I want this machine!)

Driving, driving and more driving .....

Look, I thought I was going pretty pro in our little beast of a diesel car Vauxhall Astra 92 (imagine if the car above was white). But then the driving instructor got me to go in his Mazda 2.... result.. fail. The controls for the accelerator and the clutch were so much lighter he was like ok I'll just let you drive for 10 mins... 1:30 min later.... ok just stop here on the side 8( lol.
Lets just say that now I appreciate the old astra, I actually like it! Never thought I'll ever say that in my life! lol.
