Well today I witnessed a woman having a “seizure” from mixing recreational drugs. Talk about being in the wrong place at the right time. I don’t even know this woman, however as a First Aider, it was my duty to care.

I honestly don’t understand why people inflict themselves with such risks, however after tonight, I may have a better understanding.

Revelations after revelations were revealed as this person came in and out of conciousness. Maybe some were hallucinations, however I am not qualified to even assume.

When this person regained conciousness, what they said to me made me feel very sick indeed.

I am angry that another human being can blackmail vulenrable people like this woman in such a way.

What upsets me more is that the victim chooses to remain a victim of the situation. I think ultimately, her daughter will suffer the full consequences of her decision to remain a victim. This could have potentially devastating affect.

After hearing her horror story (which I cannot disclose due to criminal allegations), I feel like a dagger has stabbed my conscience.

What am I to do?

It is wise to distance yourself, and forget about it, however a child’s well being is at stake. I honestly think I will seek further advice, because tonight I am not sleeping well.

Well I’ve decided to put a picture up here, just to kill monotony.

Here is a picture of my dog Kujo. He is actually my housemates, but I love him too. He may look totally stupid, but I tell you, Houdini is his middle name.

There is always method in my madness.. I am still testing this blog script. Then again, I’ve lost my way. I am going to attempt to hackaway with slash code tommorow, however I do have an Indian friend on the job also. You never know, tommorow maybe more free than expected.

Well, I’ve managed to pull off a deal acquiring software licenses, so all is good at the moment. Organising hardware purchases.. and then all I need to do is implement it.

I am quietly confident everything should go as planned. Now I better get back to my real job, otherwise I may experience unecessary pain.

I always try and relax on Sunday, however today was an exception.

I’ve been in the process of searching for German in PHP scripts, and translating to English. Where would I be without a babel fish. Very lost me thinks.

Today (as it is almsot 5am)… is already getting hectic. Going to do an all nighter, and get my mail posted. There is deadlines to meet. I also have to develop a simple backup solution, that pretty much anyone can use. I can’t wait until the day I kill the peer to peer network, and get the new server installed. If all goes well, I won’t have to wait long. I am thinking that maybe, just maybe, I should add a diary module to this blog script, that way I can keep track of my whereabouts.

I often feel like I am running around like a chicken with its head cut off sometimes.

I’ve had one of those days. Slept in really late. I wasn’t motivated to move, however I did manage to be social in the end. Didn’t even cook dinner tonight, so I’ve been kind of slack. I did complete my BAS statement today, however I still need to post it.

When I wake up, I plan to be a busy bee, otherwise this laziness can become a horrid habit. So I better organise something to do.

There is much uncertainty in my household at the moment. One housemate was momentarily hospitalised, the other is looking at a huge change in their career, and I on the other hand am weighing up decisions concerning my future. I am the least certain concerning career goals, however for the time being I will keep on bobbing, unless I am given an offer I can’t simply refuse. Meanwhile, moonlighting will definately help me on my crash cause to sanity.

Time for bed, as I am up way to late again.

Well I have temporarily killed the procrastination. I’ve got my books up to date finally. I would make a damn fine accountant, with the exception it bores me to tears. My cordless mouse battery is flat, so I am on keyboard navigation. Not quite used to this temporary keyboard I purchased, but it will do. I look forward to the day my notebook has a brand spanking new keyboard.

Tommmorow is full of adventure I think. Working in Melbourne, but intend to head back to Geelong come evening. Unfortunately nothing in my life ever goes to plan, but at least I try and stick to it.

Last night I had the privelage of drinking after hours in the Collingwood Vibe Bar. I drank different variaties of coffee, and also managed to down a Grulsch too. I had a nice time, caught up with a few folk who used to live in Geelong. Definately time for bed.. 5am is almost approaching.

Well.. I saw the doctor today, and got my ears cleaned out. I am much happier about life. Even the noise of cars driving by was music to my ears. I never realised how deaf my world has been for the past week or two.

Still haven’t got my new keyboard, however I’ve decided to remove an old Dual Pentium Pro from the mothballs. It should serve its purpose for the time being. I do need to get my BAS statement done, otherwise the ATO will be after me.

Anyway… I can once again enjoy playing guitar, and listening to my strange collection of mp3s.

I think I will make my pilgrimage back to Melbourne, as I can hear cearly now the wax is gone. I also feel much more vibrant too.

Hmmmm…. major inconvenience has kicked in. I massacred my notebook keyboard, as I was expecting a new notebook keyboard to arrive today. I went in to pick it up, and determined that they had got the wrong keyboard. I wasn’t too impressed.

So right now I am staying in the country, using my folk’s PC that is luckly to sustain a 19.2k modem link. But hey, I can’t complain, at least I’ve got something to use.

I still haven’t done my BAS statement for GST purposes. Having no keyboard on my laptop doesn’t help, however I will find a way to get myself in on time. Might as well enjoy my stint away from computers. They will come back to haunt me, I’m certain of it.

For no apparent reason, the SHIFT keys on my notebook have decided not to work. I’ve gone as far as reinstalling keyboard driver, to pulling up keys, and cleaning wiith alcohol swabs, and everything else in between. You don’t realise what a pain it is… can’t type the @ or ?. Only work around is a copy and paste, which is very time consuming. I think its about time I replaced they keyboard itself.

That is my big rant, as my project work has come to a standstill until now. I have loaned a USB keyboard, so I am kind of moving forward again I suppose.

Geelong has been pretty quiet today, and I am almost certain to be back in Melbourne tommrrow. I will be on a keyboard hunt and purchase mission. I honestly wonder if my notebook computer dislikes me. I am almost certain it does. Maybe I should shell out and get a new one? However one thing is certain, my notebook will have to be in fine working order come my Sydney trip next month. I suppose after two disappointing days, things will have to get better

What an interesting day… my web host went down for over 10 hours. I suffered major withdrawl symptoms as a result of this problem. This problem also puts me behind schedule, but life goes on. No time to be bitter about it, as my SQL databases appear to be all intact. Besides, I did get to relax for a change.

My friend Peter trained from Geelong to Melbourne just to visit me today. We have a road trip back to Geelong shortly. I think Peter has probably leeched most of my download allowance on my ADSL connection. He has a bad habit of leeching on other people’s broadband internet service connections.

My house is full of people tonight too, most of them have been drinking grog, so they’re pretty rowdy, but all in all, they’re pretty content about life too. Anyway, I’ve got a CD to burn, and an hour long drive. So I think I need to grab my laptop computer, and head back to my home town.
