Yawn

I just changed the URL and with it I lost all of the people in my quality blogs box.
It took forever for me to that. Cutting and pasting individual URLs after I had read and assessed whether they actually were quality and whether they deserved a placement.
Sigh.
Start again.

Bleoleoeoeleop

I just added links to my favourite blogs.
More for my own use rather than the million of you who read this.

Note: I am on first name basis with them all.







I wish.

WEEEOOOWWWEEEOOOOO

Don't you wish you could be a fire truck driver?

They have the coolest sirens.

I'm Back!

So I got sick of talking to myself on here. Not that this is meant to be just a view count thing. But it would be nice if someone read it.
But now I am going to start again. If only for my own pleasure.
It's late.I'm going to bed.
I just wanted to announce to you ALL that I'm back.

Blogs Are Strange Things

They are. It's like a diary which is open to the whole world. Diaries are supposed to be private, where you write your innermost feelings and thoughts. It seems absurd to me that now we are plastering them all over the internet.
The action of posting a blog is like a cry for attention or pity or comfort shown through the amount of readers or comments posted. It's saying "Look at me!!! I'll pour out all my angst or knowledge or emotion onto you who read this and maybe then someone will care."
Now if I thought this was a bad thing, I wouldn't post blogs. I think it is healthy sometimes to let out feelings. If posting is the new therapist, I'm all for it.
Just a thought

Party Time

Well, It's my birthday today. I reckon I got it lucky with the date. It's right after a public holiday. Yesterday i had people around and it was a load of fun.
I don't really feel all that different. I mean, it wasn't a significant birthday or anything but the only thing I have achieved is another year of life. I suppose that's quite a big achievement considering the amount of people who die daily but I consider life a blessing. When life is a blessing, you can't achieve it.
Anyway I'm one year more mature than I was this time last year.
Have a great day y'all

Environmental Doggy-Doo

Now I'm not one who has cared a lot about the environment in the past. I live in clean, green New Zealand (which is NOT part of Australia, for those of you who may have the wrong impression) and, "save the environment" slogans have been shoved down my throat since I was born.
I have recently come to realise that maybe, just maybe I should care more. For me, as a Christian I should probably be uncomfortable at the fact that I am helping to destroy this world that God has given humans, free of charge. I don't think I'm going to protest or start forcing people to turn from their evil ways. I just think that I might start to live a bit differently. I have thought up a list of things that I can do that could help. It's not about the impact it will make, but more the principle of it. I also like to think that if more people joined in it would make a huge difference.

1. Stop eating out at fast food places. They use a whole lot of plastic and things that aren't biodegradable.
2. If I do, don't have a straw and a cover for my cup. All that happens to them is that they are made, used once, thrown out and then put on a big rubbish heap.
3. Don't get a 4-wheel drive. Uses way too much of our diminishing petrol resource.
4. Buy clothes from op shops. Even if they were originally made by slave labour, at least you are giving the item a new lease of life. More wear for the work.
5. Instead of buying individually packaged items buy a big packet and then split it up yourself.

Thats my list so far. I'm going to work on those five things. I don't think I could handle more than that for now.
