Who Is The Black Chinaman?

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

We Are Legion...


We never forgive, we never forget...

So, where have I been over the past few days? Well....

Grace.

A one word answer to a complex timeline...well...most of it was spent together over the past few days...in the process making me all mushy...*shucks*...I honestly, positively think that I'm really falling for her...I mean, there's still that little bit of doubt, as with anything when it's new and untested...but I think there could be something, somewhere...

And my computer is doing it again (Grace would understand)...Currently Playing: U2 - Stuck In The Moment...for three days, everything seemed like those scenes in the movies where the music is appropriate for that moment in time...and my playlist on Winamp is in a double random config...so this lappy knows what's going on...hehe...

Last day of TAFE tomorrow...defensive tactics and basic control...should be fun...and I can start the process tomorrow afternoon....so...one month...it's been a hectic three weeks though, that's for sure...

I've got to get some zzz's...still not feeling that crash hot since last week...

Summa's birthday today too...and she was stuck in a training seminar all day...unlucky!

Be safe...and miss you G...
