Crazy Busy...

K so, I've been absolutely crazy busy the past few months. Seriously - I've hardly had time to stop and take a breather.

A lot of things have happened in the past while, and work has been keeping me very busy during the week, and generally going out, hanging with friends and family has been keeping my busy on my days off.

Things are definately looking up - some of the events that have happened in recent times have been none too cheery, those of you close to me know which ones I'm talking about.
However, things are looking up and I've found a new appreciation for a lot of things in life. It's funny how certain events are completely horrible to go through, yet they can end up changing your life for the better - or otherwise make you see things in a different light.

I've been working on some fairly big projects at work, so hopefully I'll be able to blog about those in a little while too (on my other blog).

Goodbye old friend...

I just heard about Eric... sadly he passed away over the weekend.
(http://www.reptilepark.com.au/news.asp?nID=30)

I'm talking about Eric The Crocodile at The Australian Reptile Park - where I used to work as a volunteer in the reptile department.

I was quite sad to learn that he had passed away, he was just kind of always there, and I don't think it's anything that anyone really saw coming. I guess the circumstances over the past few weeks didn't really help him, the storms and extreme weather contributing to his untimely demise.

Goodbye old friend, you will be missed.

As Long As You Want This...

Thats the title of one of my favourite albums at the moment.
The Dutch band Kane have been quite the rage in NW europe since about 2000, and I'm quite surprised that they haven't made it out to Australia yet. The only reason I happen to know of them is because one of my dutch friends brought their album over when she came for holidays.

As far as their career goes, they are doing quite well by any measure. The band started in 1999 and has seen a large number of No.1 chart hits, quite a few singles entering the charts at No.1, an Album entering the charts at No.1 and numerous awards of various types.

Their discography currently consists of 3 main albums, "As Long As You Want This", "Fearless", and "February" (which I still need to get a copy of!)

Their style is quite unique, and they are compared to Matchbox 20 - though I believe they don't really sound like them, I can see why people would say that.

If you'd like to read some more about Kane, visit their Fan Website, their Official website, their Wikipedia entry, or their MySpace fan page

Ok so some people have waaaay too much spare time...

I just got sent this link, so I thought I would share it here considering I'm somewhat of a HTML/CSS guru (when I say guru I mean nutbag).

So his code might not be valid, but it's still cool!

Meanwhile back at the ranch...

Yay update time!

Ok, not really yay, I have too much to write and not enough time to write it...

News flash: I attempted to play some golf yesterday and found out I really suck at it. The putting part is fine, getting the ball to the green however seems to be a bit of a challenge for me.

More news: Dear god what happened to the moose.

Also, I thought I would share one of the recent Cyanide and Happiness cartoons with my trusty audience. Click here to view(opens in a new window)
I would have posted it here, but that would require more effort, enough effort for me to say "fuck it, you lazy buggers can click for a change".

Carpe Diem baby!

For those of you that don't speak latin, that means "Seize the day".

The reason I am posting with this particular topic is because I just got myself inked with those words :)

If you're confused... well... just take a look:
Carpe Diem Tattoo
I just got this done last weekend...

Now it's just a patient wait until I get the next ones done.

That was pretty much the most exciting thing I did all weekend... well... the most exciting thing I'm going to share on this blog anyway, hehe.

I guess this was a rather short update.., perhaps the next one will be a bit longer :)
