there are always those times where you do not want to see a name or place because of the names and places you've been and you can't help but wander back to prerequisite accusational brooding not justified by any pent up emotion or lack of emotional release but rather of the seclusion of self felt and the distance experienced from what you always wanted to be
but let us not think of these things on a cold autumn eve where the colours of the sky paint the fascination in your eyes and look towards bigger better things away from the past the stone in the shoe we learn to walk with and forget until we move

My updates seem to be very much sporadic on this blog now- and unfortunately it appears to be the way my 'creative flow' has been operating. Sporadic and slightly non existent.. However, if you do want to get in the creative zone, check out The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robot, it is one hell of a ride...

Crowning Glory
I've got the queen bed i've always wanted
because, well, you know, that's what everyone wanted
when they were a twenty-something
looking to live life like a twenty-something does
(the room for my legs is amazing and i no longer
bruise them banging them into the side of the wall )
but there wasn't a disclaimer,
the salesperson didn't warn me of the possible consequences of purchasing such a mattress,
of the perils of upgrading from king single to a queen
the sinking feeling of too much room
on this bed for one person alone and that there
should be another wishing for a bigger bed beside me,
maybe a king size one so that I'd stop kicking him at
two a.m. when I'm dreaming about being able to play soccer and winning the match with two seconds to go
but in reality my uncoordination means he has to dodge
my fifa-world-cup-wannabe-legs to avoid being bruised
and restrain my arms as i try to do a victory lap like an aeroplane...
so yes, the bed is nice.
but it makes the glass feel half empty and reaffirms
the belief that singles should sleep in singles to avoid
negative reinforcement of their single state
but, the room for my legs is amazing
and now i am living the twenty something dream
with twenty something pillows
fit for royalty.

Reality
Sometimes it's interesting... instead of needing a reality check, we need an attitude check. Think about the way you act .. what's going on in your mind? What are you feeling? And how does this influence your view of situations?
Thinking and feeling can be turned into "doing and responding" ... It's interesting in Proverbs Chapter Two how much importance is placed on guarding wisdom and seeking God's knowledge and understanding, rather than our own.
Hmm... thought i'd share a few things on my mind.

thoughts
twenty twenty twenty two toes
I find it fascinating that we continue to be deliriously obsessing over Charlie Sheen...
and in Japan, it's estimated that over 10,000 people have died and there is an impending nuclear disaster.
... we still care about the fashion week in Melbourne.
...and what Britney Spears is up to now...
But do we stop to think? Can we be bigger than ourselves and our world?
I've been shaken up to think of these things, to look beyond the fact that 'i need to shave my legs' - that there is a bigger picture and perspective.
