A Bit more Banter

At the moment I am very content, very happy with my lot in life. Not everything is perfect but there is certainly a lot more good about my life than their is bad!

This scares the shit out of me, every time I reach happiness it seems something bad happens. Shit hey, fearing happiness! Doesn't make a lot of sense.

I have been happy for a while now so I am starting to think that maybe this time it is here to stay for a while. Work is good, the people I live with are great, have just booked my plane ticket and am going to be home for Christmas for the first time in Six years, Mum will bloody surprised!!!

I have made some pretty cool new friends lately. No woman in my life at the moment but it doesn't bother me. Just happy having fun!

I am "Courting" one young lady which I am enjoying. She is totally different to anyone I know, let alone anyone I have dated. She has a very strong personality, is passionate about the things she cares about, especially about doing the right thing. I could go on for ages about her attributes but I won't.

I think that just getting to know her is a real privledge in its self, whether we end up going to dinner or not is not as important to me as getting to know her, although it would be good one day.

I have another girl that I have known for a long time but only as a friend of friends. She has recently broken up with her Boyfriend and we have been out for drinks a couple of times. She continually has me in stitches, she is so funny, very family oriented and loyal to her friends. I think she may be cursing me today as much as I was cursing her, we SHOULD have stopped at just one bar on a MONDAY night!!!!

Left work early tonight, turned out to be a huge blessing as I keep getting calls asking me to come down for a drink behind work. Not as young as I once was and need a few sober nights these days!!

Anyway enough for now, I feel better!

Discovery

Somebody introduced me to their blog the other day that had been going for a long time.

This weekend I brought my laptop home from work because I needed to send somebody something. My Dial up would not work and was getting really pissed of because I thought I was going to have to go to work to send it.

Then Magically I discovered that somebody near my house has wireless broadband and does not have it password prottected! Suddenly I have fast easy internet at home, I sent the mail and then started looking aorund.

I spent spent ridiculous amounts of time roaming the internet and finding all sorts of interesting stuff, became addicted to some blogs and bored by others.

I decided I may as well start one and see if I get around to using it, might be nice to have an outlet.
