I’m like the real slim shady
Well a few things to stir the pot from the past couple of weeks:
- I’m moving.. again… 4 times in 11 months is starting to get ridiculous, though the offer i’m taking up really is too good to refuse;
- I’ve *finally* added some photos (about 25) to the photo gallery. Click on the link above to get to them;
- I’ve finally decided to add another post 
- I’ve updated to the latest version of WordPress due to the inordinate amount of SPAM i’ve been receiving, so if your comment gets dropped, e-mail me (see the contacts page for details) and i’ll let yours through;
- I’m still searching, still stumbling and still trying to keep my head above water atm;
- I’ve cut back a huge amount on the drinking, debauchery and general behaviour which is bound to get me into trouble;
- I’ve ceased-and-desisted talking to a few people (my ex included) for various reasons. Seems that some things you just have to leave permanently, there’s no use letting them rule your life;
- It’s good to be relaxing in the afternoon, typing away on my website. It’s not often these days that I get a chance to do nothing;
- The podcasting thing started then came to a crashing halt. Timetables being the most difficult objective to overcome (I should have known, I barely update the beast anymore, and this is the story of my life supposedly!);
- I’ve cancelled the web hosting I paid for (just this morning), but have enough space with my own provider to dip my toes into the water and see how things go. If they go well, i’ll get more space, if not, i’ll shut it down and say that I gave it a try;

*pause* while I update some more photos on Coppermine

I’m back again. Just about to start uploading another 5 pics….
See the problem with uploading to the photo gallery is three-fold.
- You have to re-size every image (i’m not uploading 4.2MB file for any of you!)
- You can then only upload 5 images at a time
- You have to label, categorise, album-select and generally write war-and-peace on every image that you place into the system.
Real time works out at about 20 mins for every 5 photos. So as much as I know everyone wants me to upload, upload, upload!, just give me two seconds to get my shit together before you assume that i’m neglecting this thing.
….. well….. maybe I *am* neglecting this thing, but you get the picture

I’m up to image 225 and you get to keep me around until image 266, then i’m off for a walk, over for some company/movies/alcohol, then i’m back for sleep and cleanup tomorrow.
Because folks, as you know, i’m moving house….
*again*…..
Fuck moving house!
Fuck having to spend money!
Fuck going out tonight and watching videos!
Fuck work!
Fuck Blogging!
Fuck Spam!
Fuck fuck fuck!
(ed: I have absolutely no idea where that came from… Look at it as a ‘Wayne’s World’ moment.. if you’re old enough to know about Wayne’s World…..)

In other news i’ve also been a slack friend, slack son and slack employee (actually that’s not true, i’ve been kicking ass lately, i’ve got my *groove* back on!)….. But enough of that..
Went on holidays last week. Up to the beautiful Gold Coast for a week of relaxing, g/f spending, clothes shopping, alcohol dispensing, downtown partying, serious-catching-up-on-sleeping, book-reading and job-contemplating. I think after 2 years in the role and having never really had the chance to get away on a break, I was looking forward to doing *nothing* for a few days.
Nothing is exactly the opposite of what I did most of the time….. But hey, you gotta go with what you’ve got some of these days

You know what I love about this blog? The fact that the title says ‘incoherently rambling’ and that’s exactly what I can do. I enjoy the fact that people read this thing and catchup (actually i’m downright suprised at the amount of people who keep coming back to this thing, most of you are return visitors!), though in reality I do it all for me. I take this journey and these incremental steps in my world so that one day I can look back and realise what a complete tool I was and how at the age of 27, I *still* hadn’t come close to getting my shit together.
And I suppose that’s the reality of it for the Generation-Y’s, we just don’t have any fucking clue about most of it.
Demographic check.
Mother @ 27. = 2 Businesses (successful), 2 kids, married (for the 2nd time), owns own home and 2 cars
Adam @ 27. = No Business (successful or otherwise), no kids, *not* married, doesn’t own own bed to sleep in at night (i’m serious, I sold it to my younger brother when I moved to Sydney).
How scary is this folks. Does this make me a failure or does it just make me disjointed from the world and trying to find that balance between commercial-consumer-driven-life and honey-i’m-home-where’s-sparky, the existence?
I know of one person under the age of 30 who’s married. I know many over 30 who aren’t even considering getting married. Most of my friends down here average a salary greater than the GDP of some small nations (I however, have not joined this trend!) and most of the girls I know can drink a schooner of beer and eat a bowl of wedges faster than I can…..
I’m thinking that i’m seriously starting to get off the rails here folks. No wonder I have issues with understanding the purpose of my life, I can’t even suck down a cheeseburger without being done in!

Things with the girl are going really well and i’ve finally settled down and started to focus seriously on my relationship with her. I have to admit that the last 3-4 months have been hardcore. While i’ve certainly fostered a commitment to the relationship, i’ve been partying pretty hard and generally tried to avoid the reality that I really like this girl and that she deserves of me a 100% commitment to what we’re getting ourselves into.
Not that i’ve done anything unbecoming, just that i’ve gone and had fun with the boys, been a boy and now I don’t want to be a boy so much anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a boy and I love playing up, I just don’t want to play up so much anymore. I like spending time with her and she doesn’t hassle, cajole or otherwise judge me for the mistakes i’ve made of the times when I haven’t been perfect.
What i’ve found on the flipside of that is that she’s shown me that she’s not always perfect, doesn’t always have the answer.
I’m finally starting to see that this could be a really good thing to have in my life so i’m going to hold onto her tightly and make sure that I keep her close.
And that folks, is all I really have to say about the girl….. Because, well, i’m actually starting to realise that you take these things one day at a time, you live, you learn and you (eventually) start to love. We’re getting there on all fronts and i’ll come back to you when i’ve got something more definitive to say on any of them

*more photos*

Back.. again.
*sigh* .. only up to image 238.. of 265 (i’ve decide to drop the last picture, work colleague, don’t want to mix with personal website).

(After another departure)
Well i’m off. I hope this mean I can say that i’ve actually updated in the past couple of weeks. I’m hoping to get something up again tomorrow…..
honest..
Loving all your work
