Mentalechoes

The burning curtain seems now to have indeed been a portent omen. One friend lies in the hospital striken with a serious illness; another has renounced me for reasons unknown. All in the space of a single day!
I’m not really one who sees signs in everyday events, but having two such things happen only hours [...]

Tick tock, tick tock, goes the clock.Time passes, I take part in life classes.What do I learn; for what do I yearn?There is plenty to see, but what shall I be?When the tick tock of the clock,comes to a stop!
I’m obsessed with time! I’m obsessed with it because when I’m not wasting it, there is [...]

I’m still shaking with adrenaline. Even though it’s been about 20 minutes now. A curtain in the living room moved somehow so it was draped over a light bulb on a standing lamp. I was sorting out tax papers on the couch when I became aware of a burning smell tingling in my nose. At [...]

I decided to have a late dinner tonite, a midnight supper as it were. The hunger pains got to the point where I couldn’t ignore them, so I decided to cook something quick; a couple of spiced beef mince rissoles and a diced up vege burger. I am fairly impressed with vegeburgers at the moment, [...]

Ever notice how life seems to flow from one liquid moment to another, and how we ourselves change to occupy the space that we are in during those moments?
Ever find it funny how, no matter how much time you have lived before the present moment; no matter how much you have seen until now; no [...]

I’m once again on a “get rich or die trying” kick! It kind of started this afternoon when I thought I had found the perfect business online opportunity in Bris-vegas that nobody else was doing. As it turns out, someone else is doing it, but not really in any professional way. I started running some [...]

I am reminded of that saying - be careful what you wish for because it might come true!
Only a few short entries back, I was bitching and moaning about how life was just a photocopy of days arranged one after the other and I really wanted something to happen to break me out of a [...]

Man, did the weekend pass so quickly already?! What is it with weekends that time seems to speed up by a factor of two, making them pass by so fast you barely have a chance to register you were on a break from the nine to five routine.
Or maybe this one just seemed to go [...]
