Time for the Fisherman

Time, what is it?

Here we have 2 consecutive photos I took. One dipicting the fisherman walking away fading into the distance/into time. He is dipicted as either moving very fast and/or like a dream. A fisherman, who catches fish to feed himself. He has control over time in a sense for what he has caught in the the second photo. For he can control time, stop it and catch what was once moving through it.

Fish. In the water, swimming happily. Oh look there's some food, for we are hungry also. The fish swim towards the food, and without knowing, their lives are taken away in mere moments. One moment they were swimming happily in their world, and the next they are lying breathless on the fishermans deadly world. He was too quick for them.

Heat Never Felt So Good

Contradiction: I love heat in Winter, I hate heat in Summer.

Why is it that during the season that brings us heat, sun, warmth, feeling of being alive, we don't want it and try to cool ourselves down with artificial air conditioners and electric fans. There is no real natural way to cool down in Summer.

Winter on the other hand, which brings us cold, rain, snow, hail and wind, we try to warm ourselves up by electric fan heaters, central heating...all by artificial means.....but then there's the fireplace. A beautiful source of natural heat that doesn't dry up your skin or throat and make it difficult to breathe. The heat is natural, it is beautiful, it is addictive. For those that have experienced the natural heat of a fire place will understand completely.

Sitting in doors on a Winters day, among friends, drinking wine, eating great food, have a great conversation, playing games, really getting to know people, having D&M's all happen in this sort of an environment. The rain falling outside on the plants while you're surround in the arms of the of a most violent act, but loving it. Fire burning away wood, ceasing its existence, afterwhich itself will eventually die, yet we sit and admire it. The way the wood burns and the fire creeps inside different cracks, creating the most amazing flames, colours, mesmerising you into a deep sleep on the soft sofa.

Now summer obviously has it's positives too....but at the moment. I Love WINTER!

I absolutely love Winter time in Australia, because I see this. Now it obviously looks soooo much better in reality, and feels perfect.

Tobin's Night in Melbourne City

So welcome to Melbourne Australia Tobin. She stayed a total of 6 days, just before I was about to start work. It was amazing the way it worked out. I started work at 9am on a Thursday and she flew out of the country the same morning. I said goodbye when I woke up to go to work. Dad drove her to the airport. We had a ball when she was over. Didn't do anything special, mostly just hung and had fun.


Smoke smoke smoke, all the time with my mum. lol Everyone loved you Tobster! You will be missed! Here's us at Fed Square Melbourne. Looking hot as ever. lol


Love the city. Flinders Street Station and Fed Square is where we stayed most of the night, went to the Lounge for a couple of drinks and Crown, and had coffees at Cafe Greco.

Here you can see Rialto Towers.
Second pic is the Eureka Tower! The Tallest Apartment Block in the WORLD!! How cool are we? lol

And further down is the Information Centre. These are just some of the pics I took on the night.

I wish I could have the whole city skyline in here... Oh well, next time I'll get a good one from the Westgate and post it up. After cops chase me for stopping and getting out of my car on the bridge....suicide. lol

I'm Back in Oz! Mo'slow Where art thou?

On return to the land down under somewhere....Oz from the Land of the Rising Sun, I find that my beautiful 'pussy' Mo'slow has dissappeared.

My brothers had told me that this was the case when I was in Japan, but it didn't really sink in until I came and saw it with my own two eyes. He was such a beautiful cat, so gentle, so strong, irreplaceable. You will be missed my black beauty.
