That sinking feeling.

Sometimes you have to hit the bottom before you realize you're in a hole.

Tragic.

"Watching someone be forgotten is like watching them die, and the more people forget, the more it's like he never existed at all."

From an ESPN Outside The Lines story.

Take Care.

I really like Beach House.

Super Bowl 44.

My money is riding on Peyton and the Colts; 41 - 35.


As good as the Drew Brees and the Saints are; Peyton just seems that much better.

Rainy Days.

Another miserable rain soaked day, made less miserable by one of my favourite films of all time.

Everything is Illuminated reminds me that there is a decent human being hiding somewhere inside the cluttered mess of my head. 

I've watched it three times this week.

Home.

It's been a sad, but nostalgic couple of weeks.

My brother Ray moved out of home a couple of weeks ago making my parents "empty nesters".

That said, I've been here for my summer break working for Dad, waiting for the grind of Uni to start once again.

I've spent a good portion of the last few weeks wandering around the house and the yard, just daydreaming about all the good and bad times that we've shared here as a family. It's fair to say that Ray and I couldn't have asked for a better upbringing.

I'm proud of my parents for the way my brother and I have turned out, and proud that my brother has moved out of home to follow his dreams. He only lives a few minutes away from me on the Gold Coast which is nice, but I'll always cherish the memories of growing up in our little house in Chinchilla.

Circa Survive;

Still has two of the best albums ever made.

In my humble opinion.

"Better than yesterday, Not as good as tomorrow"

It's hard to believe January is almost over.

The time is 11:42pm, Sunday January 21st.

I've spent the last few hours staring at the ceiling reflecting on another month of my life passing me by. When I think about it, "passing me by" is the wrong phrase to describe how this month has gone. I'd like to think I've done all that there was to do, and more, this month.

The right way to describe this month however, seems to elude me, and has done for the duration of time I've spent lying on my bed in the dark. To find the right phrase, I thought of all the neat things I've done this month. The NYE and New Years Day weekend. Big Day Out. The parties. All the money I've managed to save. The people I've met. Australia day.

I look back on all these things with a smile and the knowledge I lived those fleeting moments to the fullest.
