Don't stop, don't stop the beat, can't stop, can't stop the beat...
Went to watch Loony Toons Back In Action earlier...if you haven't seen it, well worth the money...had probably the biggest laugh in a while watching that...it's amazing how it's still funny after all these years...*shakes head*
Reading Bryce Courtenay's book "The Power of One"...pretty good stuff happening...I've actually heard him speak at the end of November...was attending the 2003 National Young Leaders Day in Darling Harbour...well worth it...at the end of his talk (which lasted about 40 minutes, of which everyone was at the edge of their seats - read this: 3200 students), he was the only speaker that day to recieve a standing ovation...bloody inspirational...so, if you haven't read the book, have a geeze...I'm looking for the movie...:)
Who Is The Black Chinaman?
- Nick
- Kuala Belait, Brunei
- 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 and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
