and in that moment....

                                                      and in that moment you understand

that moment after the first glass of wine

after you finish a cardio workout

when you wake up and make love to somebody

when you dive into the surf on a crisp morning and see the sky

when you stop long enough to pay attention

what it is all about.

then of course you forget. 

and life resumes as normal.

desirable fruit

the apple store

new, beautiful and sexy, full of the same old stuff you bought before yet somehow more desirable.
sure its faster, thinner, softer, easier to use, more complex if you want it, shinnier and above all the same price you paid for it years ago.

reminds me of that tom waits song - STEP RIGHT UP

check it out.

the more things change the more they stay the same.

note to self, even though Jobs is dead go buy some apple shares..

were all in this together...

So there i was with the missus, lying in the bath under our deck.

There we were enjoying the serenity, on our i phones feeding our addictions.

Instagram. Andrew warned me that it might be habit forming. HA.Ha.ha

All those images, all that information flooding the worlds storage capacity, using up precious resources.


And i thought to myself, in this modern instant world, that pretty soon we are going to loose it all.

I mean really if the worlds need for storage doubles every six weeks what do you think is going to happen?

 That's the epitaph of us - the last of the human race

here lie the loosers and all their digital lives.

It seems we're all in this together...

The full moon makes us mad.

All of us in our own way. Different yet the same.
The kids get hyperactive and wake up in the middle of the night.
Bad dream they say, too cold they say, but I look out the window into the broad daylight of midnight and i know the reason.

who can sleep when its so bright, when the pull of the moon changes the surf, and the surf inside our skulls.

2.30 am, 3.30 am ,4.30 am .....

ahhhh time to get up.

modern miracle

The miracle of modern life,

Not only did i not know that my friends blogged but within ten minutes i'd have my own.
Not surprising for many, extra-ordinary for some.

It is a freezing morning here in sydneytown, and we huddle infront of the heater as the full moon sets in the west.

What little space there exists in front of the rinnae is taken up by the smallest bodies in the house.
The dog, the cat , Miles and Elsa - each sure that the other is snaffling more heat and occupying more space.

same story. different day.

wifi, heat, the internet and time - now shake!
