| This is a beautiful poem, and I just wanted to share it with anyone who cares to read it.
Francis William Bourdillon - Light
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.
Any of you saying you hate your life, take a hard long look at it because life is ultimately the most precious thing you will ever have. Find the courage to learn from mistakes you have made and resolve to never make them again. Constantly find things about yourself that you might want to improve and make steps to do this. Always move forward in your own way and do not compare yourself to others, they are irrelevant to who you are as a person. If you move forward constantly you will always be victorious. It is not about getting good grades, this does not determine the person you will be in the future. Make goals and be courageous in moving towards them and you will find happiness no matter what your situation.
Always remember that things are very different depending on the position you look at them from. Seek out those positions that will give you the greatest strength and courage to shine. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |
| Knowing a persons every next word:
This is not truly knowing.
This is external understanding.
To know what their next words will not be:
This is truly knowing.
This is pure understanding.
A judgment passed on consideration of the latter:
This is true love.
This is true loathing. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| | It is difficult to distinguish whether my inability to conform to the idea of a pure and perfect understanding of the self on the basis of total reclusiveness, reflection and contemplative thought, is due to a genuine belief that this is not the case, or a general denial that this cannot be achieved without the sacrifice of a contribution to a society (whom has shaped and educated me) in the form of work. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I know I'm getting a bit redundant with the music related posts but I just finished adding the "year" column to my giant CD list, which was quite a time consuming task which I started months ago. So I sorted all my music by year and picked my favourites. Some years were extremely hard to pick (1999 and 2003 in particular).

| Okay I've crashed a bike into a car before, but never like this.
Crashed into a moving car this time, at about 15-20km/hr. The front wheel is bent right out and won't ride, and broke my front brakes even more.
I broke off this man's rear view mirror, and dented his side panel so his door won't open properly.
I rolled off the car bonnet and landed on my feet.
Luckily he was a nice 20 something guy who knows that shit happens sometimes.
I feel so lucky. | | comments: 18 comments or Leave a comment |

| My life is a lot nicer now.
I go to sleep before 10 and wake up at about 6. I don't have to do this, but I have found that it makes me a much more centred person. Getting into that niche and settling into a routine seems to work for me. Also now I have really taken my eyes off the prize and instead of thinking of what to say to certain girls I just take it as it comes, and the compliments seem to come themselves, which is very good and means that I have surrounded myself with the right people. I haven't had the urge to say anything bad about anyone, and really enjoy the company of everyone around me right now. You people should be damn proud.
I am though, right at this present moment, enjoying the pleasure of anticipation.
Will it ever happen though? | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |

| So i set to work in hacking my iPod this morning, here is what happened...
There's a typo, I can't be bothered changing it, you have to type it in in ASCII7 code or soemthing and I can't be bothered doing it again.
And last but not least, the Lionel Richtea Do Not Disconnect logo...

| I have the new Jack Johnson album.
It's different from the others, there is much more percussion.
That's not to put it down... it's a different sound, but I like it very much. | | comments: 14 comments or Leave a comment |
