all this time

 And interestingly enough, its been 2months since my last blog, though I haven’t re read it i am sure its filled with excitement and promise of my new job and my lifestyle changing…its been a busy 8 weeks.

But finally I start days.  We have had some bumps in the road but we are finally here and I am so ready for it!  With the busy weeks at mahi I have even managed to maintain some form of cleanliness at home.  Daily upkeep on chores has meant this 3day weekend I just has was perfection.  I did the lawn, had a spent a day with the dog and my partner, had a little party, went to the movies (fell asleep but hey!) and suffered just enough of a hangover to almost complete my All Hallows Eve costume with some successful shopping.

Life has been particularly good of late, 

So again, I will try to make this a daily exercise…perhaps getting dreams down or anything else I can when I first get up, granted there will be days where i have to fly out the door having slept in, I feel this is the start of something ātaahua.

Happy Birthday Dad

 Tomorrow is my Fathers 67th birthday, I’m writing today because I may not get a chance tomorrow and it’s important for me to take a moment to celebrate my Dad.  About 8 years ago my Dad had a heart attack, he was clinically dead for 20 minutes and boy, was he pissed off that he had been brought back.  Dad claims he saw nothing on the other side, but my Aunt and I wonder if the reason he was so mad about it is that he did.  It was pretty scary and to see the parent, who was always seemingly more healthy, get struck by something potentially fatal, was hard.  I was in a weird mental space when it happened but managed to get my shit together (with the help of whanau) and get back to my home country.  I was home for 9months, I had to help convince him to pack up and sell our family home and he had to convince me not to stay. Growing up, our relationship was pretty solid, we had a couple bad patches but thats pretty normal.  My parents didn’t seperate till ...

Back and trying

 Yip, its me im back after my weeks hiatus, Writing is kinda like my sobriety, I have the best of intentions and really, really want to do it but there is just a part of me that cannot seem to climb the hurdle of comfortable I have lived in this past decade.  I laugh as I write this too because I am constantly annoyed at western humanity for not wanting to disrupt their comfort to make change.  It’s frustrating because I feel like, and i have had this most of my life, that I would and could do all these things if I was alone in the world.  Like real alone.  No dog, no partner, no mahi…and thats just it, when you have nothing, you will fight for any and everything.  And honestly, sometimes I really do want that. But that could be a result of feeling comfort in neglect.  Something I seem to have discovered has been a lifelong friend.  I have pondered whether or not to write about this for a bit now, another excuse for my procrastination out of fear ...

And another wasted week

 I did not end up back at the movies, bummer cause i would have loved it for my creative flow, but walking around the markets with what felt like thousands of people, was draining.  Good and great to be out in the sun with other humans, but so draining.   This writing thing has fallen so far off for me, I am so disappointed in myself and also in my restraint in writing out of fear who will see.  Which is the opposite of why I started this in the first place.  And going between wanting to express myself fully to the extent I can and being so concerned with how my expression affects others is adding to the disappointment.  Funniest thing is that it is all for nothing, I haven’t directed anyone here since my 1st post and thats the only time anyone has read anything, its almost embarrassing and even writing this now, I feel like the self deprecating tone is more so.  Seriously why am I like this? Through all this time off mahi, I have done nothing of ...
