The Book of Ashes

wassunfellun2well yesterday, still not 110% today neither but getting better. I am fully in the over 25 category now. I am disillusioned with life at the moment, I want to move out to the hut, start a family and live happily ever after. I have one problem and that is money. I wish to be financially independant from society as a whole, how I can achieve that I don't know, maybe get people to sponsor me for food and rent, maybe make so much money that I can live off the interest, these are ideas that sift through my brain, nothing is solidifying into a certainty though so I need to work on taking some risks.

Let me change the subject and gripe about bathrooms for a few minutes. In your life you will travel many a bathroom and you will have noticed some of these things as I have. Let me just blat through them. First, those people who don't have any towel hanging up that is obviously a hand towel to wipe your hands on after washing them. Are you guys stupid? Do you not realise that people are going to use what ever else they can find, eg your bath towel? Yuk! They've just wiped there hands on what you use to dry your whole body - get an obvious hand towel. Next the sink. Have you ever used one of those ones where the taps are so close in to the basin that you can't get your hands under them to wet them without laying them flat up against the side of the basin? Did nobody actually test out this design when they made it? It just doesn't make sense, the sink is there to be able to wash your hands, why not make it easy (or even possible) to do so. Now what about the dribble showers? You turn the shower up as high as it will go without getting too hot and it feels like its lightly spitting on you. Your front almost can feel the heat from the water but the back is cold. We have a power shower. It squirts out nice hot water that massages your body as you turn under it. Don't settle for anything less. Then theres the toilet. My uncle had one where the seat wouldn't stay up. Now if you've female you may like this idea, but as a male when you're trying to go for a piss and you have to hold the seat up with one hand while doing your stuff, this is not really ideal. In fact why should we even bother lifting a seat like this? We should just piss through the smaller gap with the seat down and wipe up any dribble that lands on the seat afterwards. (Ok I'm just kidding on that one, but had to say it anyway :P)

The photos for the 25th party are now up. I must arrange with Damian for a few bug fixes sometime today. I have also just been to the Cheap Skates and just brought a roller hockey stick and a practise puck. They are pretty cool. I feel like one of those kids on blades from DOGMA when I've got a stick in my hand. Not that I'd ever go round killing people like that, but you certainly realise the danger you potentially wield.

I am thinking I might go to Palmy for the weekend, just a little bit of time out from life, to relax by myself, reflect on the world, and to contemplate the future. I will stay at the family Marae.

Must go find Damian now, later people..
