The Book of Ashes

An average weekend, Diva playing a prominent part. 5:10AM

Dan & Martin and everyone went out to see K1 fighting. I stayed home to save money. I think I should have gone though, it sounded cool. Dan & Martin came back afterwards and after a few drinks we headed out to Diva. Diva was rocking, as per usual and we had an excellent night. Our roles seem to now have reversed. Dan went home earlier than me and I stayed out, the lonesome spader till about 4am...

Flickering sun light shone in through my window. It had been raining so long that I had fogotten what sunlight actually looked like. I pulled back the curtains to a perfect day that I felt like sleeping in to. Time passed, I resolved to make the most of it and decided a rollerblade in this most excellent weather would fix me up. I hooned off round Oriental parade, enjoying the warm tickle of the cool winter sun on my face. I noticed a familar face off to the side and saw Tom, Emma, Deane & Dave. Dave was taking Deane for a ride on his machine (a motorbike). Very cool. The other too were too wussy to take up rollerblading with me so I continued on round the bays. Eventually I returned and crusied around with them, being pretty quiet I think but catching up on the goss. Later I stumbled home and laxed out on the couch in the sun with my book. Lee called up asking if I was keen to go for a ride but I turned him down. It was getting dark outside and a little cooler and inside it was just so nice. I felt useless though, I don't usually turn people down for exercise things. Now on a totally different tangent theres this bush outside my window with a little stump of a branch (where I pruned it back last year) and little green arms growing off either side of the stump. It kinda looks like a frog, just at a quick glance. I just thought you should know that. Anyway back on track. Katrina came back from her 10 day absence. Dan & I got invited round for a cocktail party at her place. It was pretty cool. Happened to catch up with Helen from work which was unexpected. Headed into town afterwards to find Jo at Diva but she was not there. Plenty of other people were though so I hung round for a while. It was a strange day, it had been perfectly sunny all day then pissed down with rain that night making it freezing then was fine again this morning. Anyway again, eventually got home around 3am. Good night all round.

Today I arose to go blading with Crispy which never happened. Went out to lunch with the gang at plum, had the Plumster (everything thats good for you including bacon & eggs) and felt revived, not too tired or hung over at all. Went up the hill with master Lee for some martial arts training. Was good but I felt tired afterwards, with that left over adreneline shakes. I am still improving though and starting to find some form and power. Now its the afternoon, time for dinner soon, Dan's taking Katrina out to Slava's Snowshow which she doesn't know about yet. I am going to lax back on the couch and watch TV I think...

Something to try for in life... NEVER regress at anything. If you've learnt German at school, why get worse at it? Keep it up so you don't forget. If you ever get fit, don't stop and loose it, otherwise you'll only look back and tell stories of how good you WERE not how good you ARE. Always improve upon yourself, but it doesn't need to be much at a time, you have plenty of years to learn stuff, just don't forget it, keep it fresh... Thats it from me today
