Gimme some attention

July 28, 2008 at 11:57 pm (Uncategorized)

My dog Trilo is lying at my bedroom door as i write this making such noices as whining and just staring into the bedroom. She wants to get in for a lie on the nice comfy bed. usually she’s not allowed but recently i’ve been letting her in with me as i’ve been going through quite a tough time recently and truth be told it’s nice to have her there, kind of like a bit of support.

I should really get her back out of this habit as the boundaries in the house have been working really well with her as she used to be able to go anywhere she wanted in the house and in doing so thought she was the boss of the place. Not good.

Ah i just told her to be quite and go to bed. She’s lying at the door looking in and kind of snoozing at the same time. I guess she’s looking out for me.

I can’t sleep.

Sony Ericsson w580i

July 28, 2008 at 9:46 am (Random) (, , , )

I went and bought myself a new phone about a week and a half ago and i have to say i love it. I never had a phone that did anything more than write a text message and make and a phone call. So this phone has me well entertained with it’s camera, Walkman and calorie counter. It will even keep a track of my running when i go back to it..am too injured at the moment for it.

I got some mixed reviews about the phone, two people i know have it and both have had either the keys crack or something else go wrong, but it was a manufacture fault and both girls got new phones.

And so i will leave you with few photos from my phone from the last few days.

Chris Cornell is back

July 21, 2008 at 7:18 pm (Music) (, , , )

Chris Cornell is back… unfortunately i think it would be better if he was just “long gone” and left when his music was something i loved and admired. I just downloaded his new song Long Gone

and i have to say i am horribly horribly disappointed. What is with all that background crap and where are all those beautiful acoustics gone. Chris has teamed up with Timberland in the production of this new single so perhaps he is aiming at the chart market, shame on him. His voice is still as hypnotising as ever but the rest is just so bad.

The lyrics are alright but nothing too hectic. I loved this guy in Soundgarden, i was not too bothered about Audioslave, however i loved his last two albums. If this song is anything to go by i don’t know if i want to waste my money on an album that is only going to disappoint.

Baby
I used to watch your flowers grow
Now it’s rainin’
And all your petals turn to stone
I been prayin’
I turn around and see my rose
But you’ve faded
You let me down, now it’s time to go

You’re like diamonds and I’m like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I tell you now I’m setting you free

That’s why I’m long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

Flying away for a few months

July 14, 2008 at 4:13 pm (Travel) (, , )

I’ve been thinking long and hard about going away travelling for a few months. I never had the urge to go away…until not. Actually it’s not so much an urge but more, feic it i gots to get moving life is too settling at the moment, i may never get to do this again in my life.

I’ve been thinking of whether to get a return trip to Oz and go visit some friends and work while there, but then i thought why not do a round the world trip, so that way i could always come home if i really wanted to.

So i’m thinking about 4 months at the most. There is someone i could go travelling with for some of the time so that’s probably not a bad idea, perhaps do South America with her.

Many people have said i should go for it, that it would do me the world of good. I think perhaps it would. I love meeting new people and doing adventurous things so it’d probably be 4 months of Sandy been crazy and not pretending to be not crazy..tee hee.

And so i am planning to go around January 2009. Round the world trip! Better get saving some moolah!
