Today's is my 276th month in existence...well, 285 if you include the nine in incubation...(thanks mum and dad)...and it was going well...but things, as usual, have a way of happening...but damned if I'm going to let that get in the way of enjoying myself...the plan is just to get a bit sloshed, and who know what happens from there...
To those that are going to make my day shite, you can all go to hell...I'll probably meet you there one day, but damn you first...
In other news, I thank those that have sent me numerous birthday greetings...it's the little things that remind me that while at times I may think I am alone, there are a lot of people out there that value my friendship (as I do theirs) and keep in contact...to those, once again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart...
On that note, I'm going to get some dinner into me before this becomes epic...;)
One Door Closes....Another Opens...What's Behind Door Number Two?
It's been a while going, but it had to happen at some stage........
I've moved from the old townhouse...a lot of memories from that place, both good and bad...the unit got sold, and the new owners wanted to move in, so it was not that I had done anything bad in terms of being a tenant (which is good), but rather a series of unfortunate events...it's also definately brought closure to a number of issues in recent times...the final acts, hey?
Moving into my new place within a couple of hours, so that's going to be another adventure...

March Madness...
March was absolutely shocking, which ever way you wish to see it...
It all started out with Biff and I at Nambour Hospital on the morning on 01 Mar 09...him with a broken hand, me with muscle and nerve damage down my left arm...that went well enough...then on another night I lost my phone during a removal...didn't realise that it had happened since I normally have a radio in my pocket next to my phone, but just before the removal, swapped radios with one of the other guards that had a clip, then got called to the disturbance...and felt something falling out of the pocket, thinking that it was the radio...thank goodness for insurance...
Now I'm the proud owner of a new Nokia N96...after some choice conversations with Optus...I'm still on the same number, so drop me a line with your name on the back so I know who you are....sorry people...
I've also got to move out of my house soon...middle of April; contrary to popular belief, I have not been a bad tenant. The unit got sold, and the new owners want to move in...since it's no longer going to be maintained by the rental agency, they cannot renew my lease...it's about time for me to move anyhow, even though I still hate moving...
I've got to jet, so I'll try to get back to this soon...

Do You Want A Chicken, A Pig, Or A Banana Tree?
In recent days, due to my sister badgering me about it, I finally started playing an online flash game on Favebook...Farm Town...and truthfully, I'm hooked...:) It's simple, easy, and I can play with family and friends all over the world...and you get to give gifts of chickens, pigs or banana trees, to name a few of the items there...yup, farming in the country without the farm...or the country...or the physical labour...or maintenance...
Missed out on the staff Christmas party (yes, it was held in March of the next year) due to work (I got called in to cover for someone who went to the party), but from the reports that came back, it wasn't worth the while going anyhow...
I'm bored, I'm falling asleep...so I took one of those personality tests you get for the heck of it...get this:
Your colour: Melon
You are a very shy person. But you are also very compassionate and kind. You love to help other people, and you are very selfless. If someone is hurt, you are always the first one to help even if you don't know them. However, you are very timid, so you don't have many friends. If you want to be someone's friend, tell them. Trust me, they want to be your friend too. Your motto: "Others before me."
Would that really describe the person that I am?

So, Who Is Cheesecake?
- Nicholas Newn
- Sippy Downs, Queensland, Australia
- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living on the Sunny Coast has its perks, and his new job as a security officer is so far engaging and interesting, to say the least...his personal relationships, on the other hand, are much to be desired... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
