Tony White

Actually... i think i've seen that movie. I can't remember it all that well so maybe i've just seen the trailer or something.

I hope you're going to have a lovely weekend. It'll be a quicky - that's for sure!

I spotted Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" playing as the background to the clip.

Cool song.
And great movie indeed.

Maybe us humans need risk taking to make us feel alive.

I only know the song cos it is played at the footie stadium I go to just before the teams come out. A kind of anthem for Man U.

I am not sure that I really know what you mean by psychological tempo.

Such an exciting-scary early part of life can leave one with a feeliing of emptiness in later life I think. Perhaps one goes onto different forms of measured risk taking in adult life?.

I knew three or four people who died from overdoses back in the 70's and 80's. I am sure we all know someone who has pushed the limits around "choosing life". Roll that dice!! Its all about cholesterol in midlife isnt it?

I googled psychological tempo.

Funny, it came up with fencing tempo. It was a great read down memory lane!

Why dont you get a washing machine so you dont have to go out to do laundry? Is it an Oz thing?

ok.
Though I feel much better having written it out of my system and much disquiet has now gone.

Were up here in Sydney tonight. Going home tomorrow afternoon - hopefully after we go to some asian (yummy food) shops first to get some 'stuff' that we can't get down home. We had to stay in the CBD and we are sleeping in a nice room. I get to share my double bed with my grandson. He slept all the way up here (4 - 5 hours) and hasn't complained at all.

I think the only reason why he's surviving is because he's so... he knows who to ask for attention and is willing to endure days and nights with out it. I see how he goes into himself when he comes to stay with us or his dad... just for the first few hours but then he wakes up and notices that he's being noticed and chooses to exist (allow us to exist for him) while he's here. I kind of understand what that's about.

We clean him up and tend to the rashes and just before he goes back to his mum, he's all happy and (fairly) mended.

I'm so happy because his mum is sick and instead of spending 3 nights with her he got to be home with his dad yesterday and because of work tomorrow, we were able to bring him with us.

Yeah - just more games. I know.

I want for things to be better than they are, but they're not. So i figure its better to feed the good things while there still are some. I don't know how long we have him in our lives.

There's a whole lot of fertilizer involved and the stink is breaking my heart. It hurts you know. It hurts bad and makes me angry and sad all at the same time - but we have now for now. You know?... compared to many in this world... we've got it so good right now.

Ok... i'm over the rave and hitting the sack. The little bloke will be up soon (after sleeping the entire trip up here) so i'd better get ready for then.

A child needs their mother i think. No matter what the circumstances - i think its important for them. It just breaks my heart to see the way he is coping with it all.

No. I'm glad he was born and not destroyed soon after conception. I'm glad he has been given the opportunity to do with his life what ever he chooses. AND... for now - he's not alone. I love him. That means i would kill for him, move mountains and shake the earth if i knew it would benefit him. He matters, and that's that.

I'm so excited to watch to see the strengths this time in his life builds in him.

I hope you had a lovely Tuesday and your Wednesday is tops! Cheers...
