You know I'm 25 years old. Why the hell do I feel like I'm 50?

The simple truths and lifes joys have been stripped and replaced with corporate and worldly concerns. When I had lost my job up in JHB and got to Durbs.

A surreal emotion washed over me.

It happened when I was driving to the beach and I caught a glimpse at the sheer magnitude of the ocean.

Almost one of sorrow. Who had I become? It was like a beauty and the beast moment is about the best way to describe. I had become so focused on who I was and what I wanted in life had made me lose sight of where I had come from. To be honest I shed a tear.

I realised the the life I had been leading was completely fake. I needed to find myself again. It's very cliched I know. But the simple small town boy I was had changed into something I did not recognise.

I had to change. And I was in the perfect place for that change to occur.

Well after a nice 5 day break spending time at home picking my nose and watching TV series's I find myself back at work. It doesn't feel like I've missed much infact everything is still pretty much the way it was before I left.

Still the same amount of work to be done - tons of it. Still same shitty colleagues I work with & still the same dumbass boss. It feels like I'm in a Groundhog Day movie... And instead of the really cool script the lead actor - forget his name - had we're stuck with my boring as hell script.

Can someone get me a more exciting one please?

Well going on some more leave in roughly 2 weeks time. So at least that oughta be enought o keep me from slitting my wrists. Oh yeah also watched The Dark Knight this weekend. really a pity I didn't watch it on the big screen though as the PC tends to take away from the awe of it all. But awesome movie nonetheless.

Will be travelling to the middle of nowhere in the Western Cape for this little holiday. Yay, driving... Well at least there is a KFC on the otherside of this trip where I can get myself a Double Crunch Burger or something.

well gotta run...

My Aunt passed away this week. Going to her funeral in PMB this Saturday. She was the most charasmatic aunt out of the 5 I have. It's almost tragic that she had to suffer with cancer for so long after everything else thqat happened to her during her life.

I didn't really ever get to know her very well, it's just the way my life turned out I guess, me living in another province and all. So I can only remember good times and no personal bad experiences with her. When my mom went to go see her a few weeks back she said she was very ill. I asked if I should drive down to visit. She said it wasn't nessacary. After all what could I really do... Admittedly upon reflection I do feel bad for not going down to see her.

It will probably be a very awkward funeral. Most of the cousins don't even like me. The GF can't get off work this weekend either so I'm going down alone. Somehow it's almost poetic... Alone... Story of my life. Haha, geez check out my pity party! Could swear I'm the one that died...

Anyway this week has been a pretty crap week since Monday... Lets hope the weekend... Funerals are always a good way to start them...

Well the long awaited house warming is just around the corner. Infact it's tomorrow. The weather has been totally awesome for weeks! Typically though it would turn cloudy on the weekend I want ot do something. Pretty annoyed about that.

But otherwise everything is all good. I bought my lawnmower and am incredibly chuffed with it. I'm quite sure that if the dogs don't eat it. It will last forever.

Other than that all I can say is I'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm ready for it.

Well this weekend was not of normal routine, it threw in some interesting twists and turns :) All for the good I'm sure. On Friday I was meant to test drive a car - arranged times and everything.

I completely forgot about it when a couple of us decided to leave work earlier than usual. Needless to say I got a call this morning finding out from me where I was etc etc from the dealer. LOL!

Well Saturday was cool, I slept late and then surfed the net a little. I then went to a new nursery my other half had discovered during the week. We bought several plants for the front garden and plants for the fish pond at the back as well. The front garden is where most of the planting takes place because the dogs have free reign over the back yard. Nothing survives besides the toughest there...

So if thge plants at the back survive then I'll be extremely happy :) We'll wait and see. All the curtain rails are now up thankfully. Just need to sort out the kitchen's curtain stuff.  On Sunday we went to a function @ Tanza Night in Fourways. Nice place actually. Very vibey. It's been ages since I've been to a club so it was an interesting change for me.

Cindz looked really good in that green dress of hers. Suss also looked quite resplendant. My gf looked awesome too :) It was really overall quite fun, got to see a modelling of hair for Redken, lol damn those models were hot - if only they'd just freakin smile on the runway's - We were also suprised with platters, yummy! I was like "Shit do we have to pay for this, it looks bloody expensive!" Thankfully it was for free!!!! The food I must say was awesomely yummy.

Cindz told me and gf about Prime Circle's gig on Wednesday which she kindly invited us to :) Bloody awesome! It's my one and only band from SA that I support :-)

So I'm looking forward to that :)

That's all from me for now... But check out the pics of my doggies...

It's been a busy few weeks, last week I spent most of my time and energy surviving a respiratory tract infection and taking Augmentan Anti-biotics that made me feel nauseous for the time I was taking them. This week I have managed to cope with the silly little things happening at the office.

Heard something from my main employer (i'm a contractor) that something was up on the table in terms of an offer. I'm just confused that there is no other communication with me regarding this matter with the place i'm contracted too...

Oh well all in good time i guess. Elishia is organising a MOB for EOM. I'm looking forward to it. It's been ages since I've seen my buddies :) I've promised to invite people to a house warming gathering however it's just not going as smoothly as I'd like. I still don't have a braai and also I want to purchase a lawnmower before hand so I can spruce up to garden. However there isn't enough money for both I'm afraid.

Christmas is coming up as well, gotta figure out what to buy my folks and siblings... Sigh... Joy... I'll probably end up with crap presents as usual. Haha. Oh well...

Later!

I've been at work for 2 hours. How much work have I done? Nada!!!!

TGIF BABY!

For some reason today feels very much like a Friday. I need to complete all outstanding tasks at the office today that I've been avoiding... Argggg... I wish I worked on more exciting projects... I'm wasting alot of talent on boring code.

Well, I best be off now to do something productive.

Well my little experiment worked better than I expected. When I moved into the new place there was a ton of mail in the postbox so it was either a case of throwing away the boring stuff and reading personal mail or using Facebook to track down the rightful owners of the letters.

2 out of the 3 people I contacted responded positively. It's quite astonishing really. Not so much the idea, but the fact that it was just that easy. A simple case of searching for likely candidates on Facebook send them a message and then just simply wait for a response.

Just goes to show what something like Facebook can do.

Needless to say I'm sure the concerned parties involved will be quite happy to get their letters, besides the bills though :)

I need more Cherry MedLemon, Why? I can still remember I'm sick...

But back to my Subject Line. It would have to be the Flu!
