The Old Tin Shed

Was listening to my extensive play list on youtube tonight and this song was playing It reminded me of how much I have changed over the past decade.  I used to care so much what people thought of me, and I tried to conform to those expectations.  But it was doomed to failure as it should be.  You see you should always be you and never ever try to be something your not. I nearly ended up in the ground from my attempts and I am positive it made my illness worse.  The anxiety that was associated with the whole inability to be everything to everyone, and the fact I could never ever be who I wanted not even for a minute, lead to me attempting to take my own life. Body image is a big one for so many young people I feel sad that they feel they need to do that to themselves.  I feel sad that like me until recently they dont realize that people will love and cherish them without all those things they think they should have or should be. Me personally when I was...

Hi all; I dont know if I have mentioned this, but we normally have a third person living with us, it helps pay the bills and in general its been a positive thing. Well our latest informs us today that he is moving.  To be honest I wont be sorry to see the arse of him.  He is a drama queen with a capital Q.  He really unsettled things here since he arrived.  He has found somewhere that is $50 a week cheaper.  But that does not include power pay TV or internet so he is going to be more out of pocket. So hope he moves next week we can have the place to ourselves for a few days without all the BS he has brought with him.  Im sure sometime after we get back from Brisbane there will be someone we know looking for a place to live. Hope your all well haven't seen many of you writing of late, seems to be the year for it thats for sure. Horse

Just an update I have been out taking photos, its going well actually, will keep at it for another week or so yet there are some things I want to take that I haven't had a chance to yet. Still coming peoples. :)

Hi, no this is not the photo blog, but I will be heading out through the city tomorrow and I am taking my camera with you.  Primarily to show you guys why the hell I live here, its quite an amazing place and im sure by the end you will love it as much as I do. Edit: Have decided to take the camera with me for a week or so take too many photos and then kind of group them together so you can see the place in bits at pieces... Horse

Look at what i had to put up with today. God dam i love this place

How many of us would like to look back over our lives and say that we made a difference ?  Most of us I would bet.  For some people that is making a lasting impression on family and the lives of those around them, for others they are destined for greater things. Today I was reminded of the brilliance that was Michael Jackson.  He has been called many things and most of those deserved.  He had a very strange existence one which most of us could never understand.  But one thing he was, was brilliant, he changed the way we see music and dance, he churned out hit after hit, and the video clips that went with them still feel fresh today. Below are a couple of my all time favorite Michael clips.  I hope history is kinder to him than the press ever was, when he took his last breath the world lost one of its great artists. The list is endless, the music unforgettable.  Probably my favorite clip below, smooth criminal runs a close second...

What can I say there is nothing more beautiful or horrifying that a charge of the Cavlary   As the poster wrote, I hope I never see those brave noble animals used in such a way again.  I have also included one of the most famous cavalry charges of all time.  The charge of the Scotts Greys during waterloo, what an amazing sight.
