Well i’ll tell you folks…. Because there’s great big fucking machines outside my window which will be going all night.. yay for me…… On a more pleasant note i’ll see my significant other v. soon (it’s the start of my w/end already.. *sigh)…

This however means I:

- Didn’t get enough done this week
- Didn’t talk to family/friends/loved ones enough
- Spent more money than I had hoped (hehehe, another 512MB of RAM and new Blank DVD’s tonight… hehehe)
- Have (yet again) not planned that mini-break i’ve been promising the girl (and myself!)

But, one must be good to the universe when the universe is good to them.

Damn I need some more sleep
Adam

Go here.

That is all.

- Saturday = nothing

- Sunday = nothing + some shopping (I also got roped into getting an AMEX with no fees for the first two years… can’t hurt to try now?)

- Monday = Domestic Duties (very little of), Beer (relative quantities of), Harbour (nice views of)

Took the time to install a Comment SPAM filtering system after spending one too many evenings going through back-posts to delete old ‘penis enlargement’ comments amongst legit posts. Feel more nerdy now which is always good.

Life is good but have to learn to take some steps back professionally and manage staff, manage expecatations and manage myself. I’ve caused a bit of damage in the past weeks when i’ve become upset at people for not getting their act together and getting me results.

Of course, one wins more battles with honey than with vinegar. My question to you all is: do you piss people off and get results or be easy-going with people and take the work on board.

Some might say you have to learn to manage the staff to give you the results. Entirely possible I think.

However, and in my favour, I don’t like when people don’t contact me directly about concerns they may have about my performance. Or worse still, bitch about me, get feedback from me (in the form of an apology) and then continue to whinge about me. Now that just irks me. But, with life going as well as it is at this point, i’m not about to lose karma points and get upset.

Most exciting news of the day: I will probably get my own office. Yay for being a true wanker now
Loving all your work

A 2-minute review of the film: Lost in Translation.

It was quiet, interesting and engaging. I think I got what the film (and Sophia) were trying to say. Beautifully shot and perfect in post, the film tells of an older married man and a younger married woman on the verge of indifference in their lives.

Their quiet and somewhat distant interactions each other are lost in transalation as the deep-burning passion which rises in both of them when the other is around is beautifully captured by Murray and Scarlett Johansson.

Murray manages to remain respectful in his interactions with Johansson (who is only 19), further adding to the appeal of this film.

Not entirely what you would expect based on the attention it has received in the media, but one of the rare times when the hype matches the reality (though in a different way than you would have expected).

1. This website needs an overhaul. Though i’m very happy with the design and layout that the Blog Body Shop provided, I do have some CSS/compatibility/Safari/non-IE/IE browser page difficulties.

Plus I just want to change some of the content, add some more details about the authors, add a photos section (sortoff) and generally make things more tidy.

2. Pronunciation

Officially(!) it’s pronounced ‘SKYron’ ….. for those who don’t actually know who sciron is, click away. Me. I just like that it was a short, concise name (though yes, I know the history)

2.1 - I’ve heard it call ‘Siron’ and the way I pronounce it is ‘Sci-Ron’ - Honestly, it’s up to you how you say it
3. 28th of June I become the boss

4. *Must* stop spending so much time on new Mac.. must spend time getting sleep.

ed: need I say a word.. it’s Jeff …..

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
coffe smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.

[Chorus]
I’m only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away.
Such a thing of wonder in this crowd,
I’m a stranger in this town, you’re free with me.
And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud,
Even now you’re undressed in your dreams with me.

[Chorus]
I’m only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away.
I know the tears we cried have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
there’s nothing in our way, my love
Don’t you see, don’t you see?
You’re just the torch to put the flame
to all our guilt and shame,
And I’ll rise like an ember in your name.
You know I, you know I,

[Chorus]
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

Let me show that love can rise, rise just like embers.
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, babe.
And I know they all look so good from a distance,
But I tell you I’m the one.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you,
thinks he needs you
And I’ll be waiting right here just to show you.

It’s getting ridiculous the amount of times I’ve wanted to post but simply haven’t had the chance, so this afternoon I’m going to attempt to go home on time *AND* post… ch-ching!

- I got a promotion .. yay … this is good but it means i’m going to have to learn how to do *less* work…. ed: most people think this is a good thing. And it is, I just like to work….. my problem is that I stress far too much for my own good…

- PMS - (said in the most respectful manner possible) .. but it appears that this is the week of the PMS… emotionally unstable, erratic, tearful. This is the week. Professionally good, emotionally and personally, crap.

(note: this isn’t about me actually. My week has been mediocre and i’ve just got too much on my plate to actually contemplate if it’s good or not, but the rest of the world…. problems problems problems…..)

- People … Working on friendships, enjoying relationships and letting some people get close (slowly) .. not too close.. just friends close.. but working on that theory….. learning to manage people.. learning to not get too involved with things that I can’t be in control of… learning that if you snore when your significant other is in serious amounts of pain that you will end up on the couch.

- Pain … I hate it.. I hate it even more when it’s not my pain and it’s someone elses … problem is that i’ve had to learn to disconnect from the pain side and focus on the ‘what I can do’ role…. it’s hard but it will teach me to be there, not attempt to take away pain that’s not mine… progress…

—

Regarding the ‘p’ thing.. no i’m honestly not trying to use it exclusively.. it’s just becoming a one-post habit… problem is that the promises I make are usually pre-mediated for my own purposes….

god that was cheesy..

Get out there people.. there’s my advice… kiss the girl, go out on the date, have that sex, go the extra step, push your boundaries, buy that computer, go for that promotion…. life is so short, and I fight my internal desire every day to believe that my world will come crashing to a halt… i have to force myself not to get paranoid about things I shouldn’t … subsequently the last 6 months has involved me taking on the pains of this company at my own expense…

now I have to manage what i’ve created, and I can’t make the world do everything that I do … I can only manage my (and their) expectations…

happy days people … happy days….

Getting sappy again, I hope my girl gets well soon.. I hate to see people in pain, but her… with her it just kills me….

Lots of love, happiness and kindness to you all
Adam

I spent a magnificent weekend with the girl and couldn’t possibly be happier at this point (barring, of course, if I had won 20mil on lotto this weekend)…

The realisation hits hard when you’re at a fancy dress party (not in fancy dress as we never received a paper invitation) and you realise you’ve spent most of the night only talking to your partner and not caring about anyone else.

I have calmed considerably after four days with her, and after only hours apart I miss her. Yes folks, I think it’s love.

Onto other types of love, I am solidly in love with this iMac (well, for the Credit Card bill that is coming my way I’d want to be!)…. I’ve worked my way through most of the system tonight and have a few bits and pieces to juggle my way around before claiming myself to be any kind of guru. But i’m getting there.

—

Creative juices aren’t flowing tonight, though two (three, four??) nights ago when I finally got online with the new computer I was under a deluge of MSN chat windows and endless e-mails about how to enlarge my penis size (I keep trying all those alternatives but i’m still not convinced :P).

Obviously it’s nice to be wanted and I just wish I had more time to catch up with the boys and chat, though I feel that over the coming weeks i’m going to work to forge some more time at home, less time at work and have a bit of downtime from the universe.

That, or i’ll buy myself a pair of rollerblades and never be seen again :)…

Watching ‘Lost in Translation’ which is apparently a good tale (along with the first season of Futurama, gotta love fetchmemovies to give you some spice of life). I’m a Bill Murray fan so it should be a decent watch.

I’m outta here folks, should actually get some sleep and hopefully tomorrow nights post I won’t be rushing …

A

p.s- Yes, I edited my post because:

a)It’s Bill Murray, not Jack Nicholson
b)I didn’t watch the movie I went to bed
c)It’s a long story why I thought it was Jack as opposed to Bill, and i’m not telling it

Finally something worthwhile….

And to the recipient of a large amount of ‘Entertainment’ materials gathered when I was in my late teens. Have fun
Adam

This is my first post on my new iMac with ADSL…

I’m officially creaming my pants..

With love
