Wedding update

Add comment September 28th, 2006

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve talked about it, but don’t worry - it’s still happening! Hehehe.

I haven’t updated my wedding blog for 3 months, and only just remembered to do this today. You can see the latest update here: http://weddingplans.wordpress.com/

Enjoy.

Interesting times ahead

Add comment September 26th, 2006

With all the crazy stuff happening in America today, I have a feeling that we’re going to see some very interesting, scary and sad times in the near few years.

• It’s heading more and more towards a ‘police state’, where the jackbooted actions of the police stomp all over the rights of the people.

• The political craziness that’s coming to the fore has suggestion of armed conflict between Republicans and Democrats, due to prominent Republican commentators claiming that since Democrats are against the war on terror then they must be for terrorists, and are therefore terrorists themselves. Some are calling for attacks, arrests and even executions of vocal Democrats and anti-war campaigners.

What’s your talent?

I was recent talking to someone who considers themselves to be a pagan and a witch. Very interesting person. They asked me at one point what my talent was. At first I was confused, so I asked them for some clarification. They said their own talent was being able to read auras, and they had a sensitivity to other people’s energy. I thought about it for a moment, and then I knew what my talent was.

I see people for who they really are. I see the truth behind the facade that they present to the world.

Update on work

It turns out that my application for the Solutions Design Specialist role at work was the ONLY application received, even though it was advertised both internally and externally.

Seems like an interesting sign to me… to be the ONLY applicant for a role that I would love to have, and which would be ideal for me.

I’ll continue providing updates as more becomes known.

Anniversary of 9/11

Add comment September 10th, 2006

Regardless of my political thoughts on the matter, 9/11 was a tragedy. On this 5th anniversary of the event, I refer back to a post I made at the time (quoted below). As we all remember and send our prayers to all those who were affected one way or another, my own memories return to the day. I’ll talk more about it below the quote from the day it happened.

Solutions Design Specialist

Working across telecommunications and IT, it will be your responsibility to design and develop ground breaking managed service solutions for a number of large corporate clients.

Does that sound interesting to you? Well, it does to me… I found out today from a colleague that the role is available. They thought I’d be great for it, and wanted me to submit my CV. I did some research, thought about it, and decided that I will. I’ll do that tomorrow.

Throw the cards, let them fall where they may, and we’ll see what happens as a result.

I love designing solutions and then handing them over to others to make the solution work. I’m good at it too, but I haven’t had a chance to throw myself into it. This might be a good opportunity that’ll lead me in a new direction.

I’m depressed

Add comment September 5th, 2006

(Something I wrote on 4th November 2004, which I thought I’d repost…)

I’m depressed that George Bush won the US election.

I’m depressed that he won not only the popular vote, but also the electoral vote.

I’m depressed that the people of America, in their stupidity and ignorance, voted for a man who says they’ll be safer with him.

I’m depressed that they were safe until he came into power. All the problems of American ‘internal security’ began with him.

I’m depressed that the Republicans now control the Senate, the House, and the Presidency, because now they don’t need to appease the Democracts - they can simply do what they like.

Who really controls America?

The wise man

3 comments September 2nd, 2006

People climb great mountains and go to great lengths to visit the wise man, so that he can help them with his amazing advice. He either points out to them something they already knew, or tells them that they already know the answer, and they go away marvelling at how wise he is.

The truth of the matter is that the wise man lives a life of common sense and perceptive simplicity, whereas most people live a life of denial, pretending that the truth is something they can ignore, while they get on with a life of illusion, hoping that eventually their lives will get better without them actually doing anything.
