The actions of our life are what we will leave behind. The impact on others and that little bit of us that we leave with those we meet. If we are lucky we get to share more with some people. But there are times that you must journey as one and make your own path. Days go by, but I do not mourn those who have passed but for those who live and are not alive. Those who miss the opportunities of the

so i feel the need to vent my spleen again. i am still proud and passionate about the NRL and the Meloburne Storm but yet again it seems to me that they have recived the wrong end of the stick. lets look at the facts of the case. a bit of punch on in play, both players sent off - not a problem the players decide to conitnue on whilst they were headed off the feild - not good for the game but

i was given the most unusual request the other day. i was invited by the Assistant Region Commissioner - Cubs for Bays region to speak at the annual grey wolf recognition day. he invited me as it is traditional that they have an "inspirational" speaker. and he wanted me? sure i can talk, but most of it is nonsense. it was one of the toughest speeches i have ever had to write and also make. but i

so i have hit my straps again. i am still being frustrated by the lack of work and my inablity to secure an interview. and i am still waiting to hear back form an interview two weeks ago. but that is merely minor issues. good news is that i had my first date in almost 6 years the other day....... and it wasnt a disaster. but i have recently figured somthing out. because the lack of dates has not

Good morning, last night brought the announcemnet of the host of the 2022 world cup & the 2018 world cup. i will make a major comment here. the two nations that wond the cup, where the ones who there had been large speculation about if they had been manipulating votes. Qutar and Russia will host the soccer world cup. well here are some bomb shells for you. the technical evaluation ranked Quatar

well this is going to make me sound like some bloody angsty teen. but here is the thing. the problems we have as teens some times dont go away and some times they properagte them selves in new and exciting fashions. i guess this post is a venting of my spleen. i have to say that i find a number of things about my life frustrating. for any of those playing at home, i have been single since March

I miss peopleSaying goodbye to my friends in Aus was no stress, I knew when I would see them again. But my friends in B.C, I don’t know when I will see them in the future. And the question is how does one person have such a profound affect on so many, without doing that much.It’s kind of made up with the “catch ups” & “reconnects” as I go along, but it’s the good byes and the fact that at least

These are the words I am greeted by every time I reach to pull out my journal to write about my experiences. These words come to me from a very nice journal which I bought for $10 and are in the form of a replica of a WWII poster from the UK. The words of war. Yet these words are just as relevant in times of peace. Every time I feel like I am going to go to pieces I just remember those words.

so this is a bit of a self reflection exercise put in the public domain. why? BECAUSE I CAN! in the corporate land we talk about planning and you are always asked the question in a job interview "where do you see your self in x number of years" well i turn 25 in 32 days. so the question came to mind i started making affirming comments and decided to post them. When i am 30 i will be: 5 years

April 25this year i find my self in a foregin land. in an unfamilar country, without the self assuring routine that i have engaged in for the past 4 years. a yearly  involvment that has been part of my life since i was 16. the knowldge that my simple example of mearly contributing would not be enough any more. but to stand proud and pay my respects true to my orgins in a crowd where i was just

so the comments and media continue to issue explosive statments about this incident. well here is the bottom line. the Melbourne Storm discoverd the rorts, not the NRL. the storm went the NRL and owned up to it. what happened after? the storm got reamed. now then, annother party that has seems to have escaped suspicion and accusation. thats the player agents. now they are the ones who negotiate

if you do the crime you do the time, as they say, and we must abide by the decsions of the NRL and the adminstrators of sport at all times. and the hounds have come out slamming the Melbourne storm and their actions and labeling them cheats and that the punishment fits the crime but lets look at the case history and see if it relay does. also i will preface this with saying that i am a mad keen
