....Degrees of Separation...

I have many hours commuting each week (over 15 hours...yawn!), I think alot, mostly about irrelevant stuff. A common thought is how tiny Sydney is, how minute the Mountains are (my local area), and how I bump into people all over.

The world therefore is SMALL.

I was at a party the other week, in Annandale, and somehow, an ex housemate had left a random array of books at the house. The Kevin Bacon Game (!) being one of them.

So, 6 degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon & my long hours on the late running trains, my recent fascination with celebs, spawned ideas.

Who could I link to in 6 degrees, or less. Hmm, a few minor Oz radio dj's/former punk rockers in 3 degrees. Can we link up & go a little more global...

Listening to White Stripes cd and I heard the song 'It's true that we love one another' White Stripes & Holly Golightly...hang on former housemate in east London Ed, plays guitar for Holly. Holly recorded with White Stripes. B I N G O (and BINGO was his name oooooooo). And Jack White dated Renee Zwellegar.

Wow, I can link to half of Hollywood now.

I can do another smaller scale link to Hollywood, my friend Murielle (not her real name, but she is terrible!), cousin Gia is married to Anthony La Paglia. More possibilities from there!

So I'm lame. It's mountains life I tells ya.

Anyone else have enough time to think about linking people to themselves??

Hey - drop a comment if you drop by. Let me know who knows what about my life at any given time....

Good vibes now that the sun is back...

Last week I was unbareable. Apologies to anyone who I was foul too...

I was smart enough to read my mates body language, and appologised the next time I saw them for my misery guts approach to life. I made them swear to me that next time I get that bad to tell me. When I get like that, I can't always tell. They know what it's like to move back home after a couple of years away, so forgave me.

This week for me, has been positive & productive. I've been happy, almost really happy. I was working (yuck, but yay for $$$) & I'm making lists, which hopefully I'll be using to make a few words on a computer screen a reality. Thank you 43things.com for inspiring my list...I've also been using my msn space to list things. To many wants, not enough cash or time. But I'm trying to do different things none the less.

Today is set to be my most productive day in eons.

Got out of bed at 11am - for me this is special... with nothing planned, and the crazyass dreams I have, I love staying in bed.

I had a nightmare early this morning, which is unusual for me. I am a happy dreamer, my dreams are like little colourful soap operas, lot's of characters, some known to me, some unknown. Today I dreamt that I was being stalked. I think it may have been set in San Fran, the house I was in was at the top of a high, steep hill... I had 2 friends in the dream, but no one I can place now...the guy was an attractive tall dark & handsome type. I'm sure it's linked to my love of Janet Evanovich novels, the main character is a nutty Jersey girl bounty hunter, who's always in strife. I'm reading the 9th book in the series, and she's being stalked at the moment. The two guys in her love life at tall dark & handsomes....

Ate breakfast (mmm, fresh juiced apples & ginger with my cornflakes..I love the smell of fresh ginger!), read a few more pages of my book that's getting into my pysche, almost finished now.

Attempted to play tennis for an hour with Gutch. Note to self - sun out means contacts in eyes & sun glasses on...I need all the help I can with my tennis game. Playing once a year isn't really good for building up a level of skill. Must rememdy this.

BBQed & ate & relished my steak..and fake kettle chips from Aldi & the fruit rings, and i best stop eating before I can't move...

Still hunting down a charity to do some volunteer work for. I think i should do some work with kids, as it would help me if i want to be a teacher next year. I'd rather not work for a religious based charity, only because I'm not religious. Any suggestions?

Soon I'll be getting ready to cycle over to the train, jump on the train & go to my mates house in Annandale - the one that he is getting kicked out of very soon. Grantis is an old friend, hmm, maybe we've known each other for 16 years. Locals from the local caravan park. Ahh Kiama, land of much fun during my younger years...Grant also wants to play squash sometime. This rocks, i want to play squash too, my racquettes getting jealous of my tennis racquette which gets more court time...sigh...silly racquettes..

And then I'll be on a late train back up the mountains. And i'll get back on my bike, cycle up the hill & jump into my bed and enjoy the fact that it will be Monday and I won't be getting up at 6am. Sweeet....

Reality check comes Tuesday morning, when I will be up at 6am, on the bus at 6.39am, for the train at 6.51am, tucked behind a new office desk by 8.30am. Ahhh, can't wait to move closer to the city...

Home, before midnight on a Saturday night, fully clothed, fully sober - WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME????

It was a good night out, I would say nice, but nice is a put down word, and it wasn't bad at all.

Bowling. I rocked out. Without my cock out. As i don't have one. Anyhoo, first game, i was on fire as far as my bowling skills are concerned. 149 in my first game 114 in my next. I won the 1st game. So surprised that i got that many pins down..yay.

Time for doughnuts at Krispy Kreme.

Consume consume, turn doughnut box into a guilotine, to slice the final one in half.

What next? Do we go on and go crazy at Panthers (World of Entertainment.....sigh) and kick off with some crazy air hockey moves..or, hang on, is that the couples all syncronising their yawns? One couple has an exemption - due to a hospitalisation last week. The other couple, if seems, can't go to the bathroom together without holding hands & can't stay out and have too much fun...

Am I coming across as the jaded singelton? I don't mean to be. I don't think I am (envious yes). I think i love 99% of my friends partners. There really is only one I don't think cuts the mustard. Which is a shame, as it is a really close friends partner. The partner is not offensive. The partner is nice. Partner lacks individuality, is presently trying to absorb my friends personality, hobbies & interest. Yes, that is what partners are for, inspiration, but not a full personality take over bid. Least the partner is not trying to make over of my friend. Enough, consensus seems to be if you don't like a god friends partner, you just shut up & be polite. But of the friend asks for your honest thoughts, you give them a 'nice' version of your honest thoughts. Any other thoughts on this?

Mood Rating: Much happier this week, but firing up (subject to change drastically if my friends continue to be B O R I N G !!!)
