The future, rain in Wellington, Amerlie... 4:19AM

If you bend your will hard enough upon the future can you shape things to come? If you want something strong enough will it come true? Is it possible to peer through the murky fogs of time to see what will come to pass? They say charisma is the force that molds the future. They say that prediction science is the tool by which to tell what will come to pass. They say also that any prediction is only a potential self-serving prophecy meaning that it may or may not come true depending on what you have to do with it. You contain the power to shape your own future. You aren't held down by anything. Moral of this rambling, if you want something bad enough then just go get it. Stop waiting for chance to bring it your way.

Today I awoke to a down pour of rain and hail. On the outskirts of Wellington towards the straights it was reportedly snowing, altho some claim it was just lots of hail and Wellingtonians don't know what snow is. It has certainly been cold enough today and it has certainly rained enough. Sometimes I wonder how much water is actually in the sky. I mean if you took all that rain and put it back up in the sky as one big hovering puddle then let it fall, well lets just say thats one fuck load of water thats gonna be coming down. Where does it all fit into the sky without being seen? Anyway today I went shopping with Robyn and we picked out a present for Dad's 50th. Thats one thing out of the way at least. Then I had physio and came in 10 minutes early, at least thats what I thought, after saying sorry I'm a little early, I got a strange look then got told I was 50mins late. Damn, wrong hour even... so I apologised and got another person to sort me out.

After lunch I headed back into town and managed to run into Lee & Chris. I ended up having lunch with them, then headed into the vodafone shop to claim my free upgrade for my sim card to a brand spanking, shiny new sim2 card. This new wonder pretty much keeps your same phone book and phone number but gives you an extra menu from which you can receive free account info (via txts) and pay for other services such as joke lines, txt soaps, rings, images, insults, etc, etc... yay me! The guy in the shops weren't too enthuised about helping me out pretty much saying that it would take 10 mins and if any customers came in they would dump me for them. It was cool tho. They were just bummed about it cause no one knew much about what was going on. The only service they got was too hot chicks who also wanted their sims upgraded. They were sent away until I was finished. I wouldn't have minded waiting while they had theirs done, but anyway...

Last night I watched Amerlie with Tom and Dan and Katrina for a while. When Dan saw the movie he said fuck, this is the worse movie you could get. We looked at him saying whats wrong with it? He explained, he had told Katrina we were getting DVDs out and would get some crappy guy movie out cause she wasn't going to hang around but now she would want to see this one. And thats exactly the first thing she said when she came in the door. She had seen it 4 times before but still watched 3/4 of it. I recommend. It was funny and so true. The chick is cool, I always wanted someone to do weird stuff like that to me and it has made me want to do weird stuff like that to someone... stay tuned, I will!

Tonight Dan and I trial the Fryberg gym. Should be fun
