Man... I don't know what's going on but I'm constantly tired. I got up this morning and was tired. I got up yesterday and was tired. I had a can of redbull and was tired. I'm going to wait a week (just had the flu shot) and if this doesn't go away I'm going to a doctor for some tests. I'm fairly certain it's not anaemia, coz that would have cropped up in one of the tests I've done over the years (Fatigue is an old friend). It may be low blood pressure. I don't think it's due to a lack of sleep or exercise - I've tried both. It's unlikely to be hypothyroidism given that I do not display other symptoms. It's unlikely to be lung pathology as I've had X-Rays for migration purposes which were normal. It's unlikely to be anything terribly serious because this has been going on for years. Nonetheless I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Caffeine is costing me way too much money and it's not contributing much to the...

Med is fun. Here's something I did today - I learnt about a condition called cataplexy, which is the loss of all muscle tone when a person experiences strong emotions (even things like laughter). The video below is kinda funny and will probably ensure tha tyou never forget what cataplexy is. LoL.

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Good verse to come back to every once in a while. I think it's easy, when things are going well, to want to start micromanaging your life - to ensure that you do not lose anything you have gained, or to try and squeeze as much out of life as possible. I think it's great to be entrepreneurial, and to be competitive and to work hard and achieve as much as you can but to do all this while keeping things in perspective. We serve a greater God who has ownership of all things and while it is excellent and commendable to strive for excellence I think it's important to remember to live for an audience of one!

Today I found old messages from people I used to know - about 2780 of them, to be exact, but in the spirit of moving on I deleted them all, along with the images I found with those messages. It was very liberating in a way. Just something else to symbolise the growing, the letting go, another step towards forgiveness of those who have wronged me in the past, and who really, I probably would have also wronged. May 2012 be a year of tying up loose ends, removing skeletons from closets and spring cleaning before the new season in 2013!

If life ever came with a manual... Romans 13 ( The Message version) To Be a Responsible Citizen 1. Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it's God's order. So live responsibly as a citizen. 2. If you're irresponsible to the state, then you're irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible. 3. Duly constituted authorities are only a threat if you're trying to get by with something. Decent citizens should have nothing to fear. 4. The government working to your advantage. But if you're breaking the rules right and left, watch out. The police aren't there just to be admired in their uniforms.  God also has an interest in keeping order, and he uses them to do it. 5. That's why you must live responsibly - not just to avoid punishment but also because it's the right way to live. 6. That's also why you pay taxes - so that an orderly way of life can be maintained. 7. Fulfill yo...

I've been back in Sydney for 2-3 weeks now and while it is really nice being back in such a comfortable environment a large (suppressed) part of me keeps thinking of my sojourn to North America and how much I'd really like to be back there now. I miss being State-side. I miss the people I've met, the energy, the American dream, the thrill of being in a new city, finding new dreams and heading in new directions. I can't wait to go back to America. Soon mi amore .. I will find my way back to you soon.

This was me up to 2005. Moving to Australia forced me to change!
