Don't Buy Other's Negativity

Song Playing: Silence - By Mother Nature

Cars driving down the road - by Ford/Holden/Toyota et al.

One day, The Buddha was giving a lecture and a Brahmin got up and began insulting him. He raved for while and when he had finished the Buddha said,

"If somebody laid out a banquet in front of me, to whom would it belong?

"Obviously it would belong to the person who put it there..." replied the Brahmin.

"And if the person offered it to me," continued the Buddha, "and I declined to accept it, whose would it be?"

"Well obviously it would remain the property of the person who put it there."

"Just so," declared the Buddha. "just so."

Prints For Katrina Charity Auction

Listening to : 'Circle Of Life' - Lion King Soundtrack.

Feelin better about everything today, maybe because I got up when it was still morning ( 10 am ) and got out and did a few things.

I asked the guys at The Photo Forum, a few days after the Katrina distaster, if they'd be interested in having a print auction to raise funds for the Katrina Aid Fund. They thought it was a great idea and Kara set about organising it.

Members offer a print of their own up for auction. If your interested in purchasing a print or two off these talented ppl Clicky For Auction

If you want to help Katrina victims and New Orleans get back on their feet, purchase a print ! The proceeds are all going to this worthy cause.

Some new shots of New Orleans are in my flickr gallery ( flickr gallery name: Luminosity)

More of my New Orleans piccies


Here's a couple of shots.....

HomeSick

Yep.

Today's Saturday. I'm already dreading work on Monday.Actually I was dreading Monday as soon as I knocked off work last night.

Didnt have much energy or desire to do anything today. I know that I need to find another job and that I'll be not seeing much daylight, let alone Toronto, soon as I'll be working around 70 hours a week.

And I'm wondering.... I feel so tired after a 45 hour week, where some days I'll work 10- 11 hours...how am I gonna be with working 70 hours at TWO jobs I seriously dont like ?

Josh and I did the calculations on how much we need to save to move to Aus in March.

$ 14,000.

We need to save that, as well as pay both our own personal debts ( both are high ), as well as keep up with the rent and bills....

And that isnt including the $ 2,000 plus we need to bring Lucy with us.

I dont want to leave her behind.

I miss my family, vegemite, Flinders Street station, taking the train up to Seymour to see Ma, I miss my old place in North Fitzroy, cuddles from my nephews, laughs with my sisters.

Don't mind me. I'm having a moment.

I'm sure I'll feel better about everything soon.

Because I have Sparkle Motion !
