Daily? Who said that?

I meant to make a post last night about the various differences in the groups of people I spend various amounts of time with, albeit that some of more favourite groups tend to have less time spent with that it would be true in a perfect world.

Last night was D&D night, in which I associate with somewhat normal people (yes D&D gamers = normal in my world...) where topics of conversation revolve around babies and marriages and real life applicable topics, like how National is screwing the public for a quick fix.... or at least that is my view point, theirs is more about how wonderfully Mr Key is running a fine ship... It is one of the few sets of people I have such conversations with, even at work I tend to avoid discussions about marriage and babies and such like, because (like with my family) these things tend to fall back into when I will enter into such lifestyle constructs, which are topics I prefer to avoid. The D&D crew also ask these questions, however I can tell them to fuck off, and poor another drink. It is a little harder to do this to your boss, the CEO of the company or one's mother. Not impossible (given I do follow that procedure on occasion,) but harder none the less.

The whole concept, or at least when I was thinking about it last night on the drive home, does bring into contrast my normal group of friends, those I don't hang with as much as I should and are hardly normal in any sense of the word or by anyone's (including our own) definition of the word "normal." There abnormal is common place, and hilarity and hijinks are sure to follow, though less so in more recent times, given my less than perfect attendance record. My more normal and grown-up worlds of D&D, Work and Home do make me miss such hijinks in some ways, and none of us are probably grown up enough to be out of such 'childish' antics.

That said next year I will be back at Uni with any luck, albeit on the company's time, which should help with some opportunity for some Hijinks, depending on which of the fellow hijinkers will still be at uni completing their respective desires, 1 at least will be finished I am guessing? Unless she decides to do more post grad, and she possibly is a masochist, and the other... he probably will still be there, mostly because he will have nothing better to do... and the others can be dragged in from their work places.... or at least those close enough to be dragged...

That said we will be in our 30's... maybe one day we will realise this...

As I breathe in I am one with everything

Zen game par excellent! p0nd thanks to Em once more, via her Google Reader Feed.... Can't help but love it... A bit of a twist at the end... and am unsure if I can do better... will have to try some more...

Does make me want to go watch Life again... maybe go find the 2nd season.... Which reminds me, Tuesday night = Fringe season 2! About time TVNZ... X(

6.9 km/hr

Not fast, but that was our average speed as we did our first run through the Devonport - Takapuna stage of the Auckland Marathon. For a first look it wasn't bad, though large improvements will be expected before race day...

Now to go see the mother and wish her a happy birthday for the other day.... I am such a good son...

So posting, yeah I do that...

I should of started this (again) about 2 weeks ago (Or a year and 2 weeks, or 10 years and 2 weeks, or any randomly selectable time period) but that said, I am writing now... Maybe writing will make me creative or do some good to me... At least I won't be writing like i do over there at the other one, all depressive like and self-disruptive... That said I haven't written there for some time either...

In any event I have been motivated by two events, 1 the passage of time into a fourth decade of years for the vessel of consciousness that is me and by this, thanks to Emma FRANCES Gallagher (cause i can spell now...) The concept of being like some (semi)-famous writer every time I make a post is quite intriguing... It should be fun... Not to mention when I pretend (badly) that I can write it would be nice to see if I have any consistency... And maybe like my book-whore friend, it can lead me to new and interesting books to read... Though it does, worry, concern, something me that I am essentially copying my good friend.... but meh, that's what friends are for right? Abuse, emotional blackmail and copyright infringement... or something like that...

The other event, the passage of space/time through another milestone, also motivates me... it reminds me that time grows shorter, although it should still be many many steps till the journey ends... I am still getting older, and in theory more responsible. That said these next few years could be the most important of my small and cosmically insignificant life, although locally significant in some small ways...

Three whole decades seems a long time to have lived, laughed, cried and generally run amok on the face of this world. Sometimes it does not seem right, or real, or even imaginary... like it is some other sort of existential construct... if that is the correct terminology to use... and if it isn't, screw you hippy! It is my terminology now sucker!

In any case there is life to be lived and things to be done, one important one to be done in around 6 weeks or so, give or take 3 weeks... and yes it is what you think, and yes I will tell you more later... well maybe... if I post another post...
