Well im back. Sorry ive been gone so long, but as i stated in the topic header, i wanna complain about stuff.So far in the last few weeks, one of my friends had a car crash, another freind was assaulted in his home and someone i know has been charged with attempted murder, i burnt myself on the forehead twirling, my cat got stuck on the roof, it rained on new years eve, santa gave me a fridge magnet barbie for christmas (actually that ones kinda cool), The movie i have waited all year for (the lord of the rings) was really good, until they totally changed one whole section, Its supposed to be summer so when i went to the beach of course it was about 5 degrees outside. I pulled the ligaments in my ankle, my grandma made me eat my vegetables AND I WANT A BERTIE BEETLE.*deep breath* apart from that summer has been fantastic
CheersAPB

its okay APB, we gotta take the lows to better appreciate the highs.December was similar for me, in that everything that could go wrong did go wrong. it got to the point where I was spouting ye olde juvenile "life's not fair" type crap. But I searched and reflected and contemplated on what all the negativity could possibly be trying to teach me and have come out of it a better, stronger and more self aware individual.flash's december:*I had to have painful surgery - took a month to heal*My pride and joy (my jeep) was broken into and set alight*One of my best friends left sydney permanently*My step-mum found out she had thyroid cancer*A tree fell on my Jeep (wasn't too bad but that's hardly the point; was YET ANOTHER crap thing to happen to me)*Found out that my position may be made redundant (and has been)*blah blah blahyeah, it was great.

I've had a month full of ups and downs:Down- I had to work most of Christmas weekUp- It meant I could go on holiday later thoughDown- New Year was supposed to be spent somewhere out of town on a beach with a load of spinning, but most of us couldn't afford itUp- It did turn out really well though, with fireworks, some spinning, football with a giant ball and lots of drinkUp- I went on a snowboarding holiday from the 5th to the 12th of JanDown- On the first day I sprained my wrist and knee and bruised my ribsUp- I met an incredibly intelligent and beautiful woman staying in the same placeDown- She went off with someone else half way through the weekUp- I came back from holiday inspired to spin moreDown- I can't yet until my wrist heals enoughDown- None of my holiday photos came out, the film was just blankDown- Typing and using a mouse (stuff I have to do all day at work) really hurts my wristAll in all, a pretty disapointing month, although the down points can never bring down my holiday, it was brilliant - the 1st time I've been out of the country in ages.------------------Bovril - It's liquid cow y'know

My life is full of sunshine at the moment. Actually, it has been for a while.I think you need to work hard to put yourself in a position to accept it. Be good to yourself. Be good to others. Put yourself in places where good will happen. Take simple risks. There will always be a yin and yang of good and bad. Put energy into things that make you happy, don't put energy into things that make you unhappy. Sounds obvious but sometimes we fall into routine and forget things that make us happy.And be sure to tell those that make you happy...Thank you

Just remember the 'Plus a Headache Formula'. Everything is worse when you have a headache, right? So no matter how awful your current circumstances, just think; at least you don't have a headache.

Nowt wrong with that.Personally I don't have much to complain about.Thanks to the people I've just spent the week with I've had one of the best birthdays ever. I managed to disapear off the face of the planet for 8 days (how many of you noticed).I got some wicked presents. Abused my body in many ways. Caught a cold and am even happy with that (although that's more to do with who I caught it off)And, it's headcharge on Friday and Chris Liberator is playing. So it's all good.------------------C@ntusThere's only one way of life and that's your own.
