The music is turned up really loud right now!
The weather’s been miserable today, really wet and pretty cold – not very nice to be out in, although this morning I went into work to meet up with some people visiting from interstate. I can’t believe how silly some people go on the roads when it’s raining – they’re either driving at 40kph or less, or they’re hooning around trying to force their way through traffic – both of them are fairly hazardous, and make for a less fun driving experience. Which is a real shame, so I hope the weather gets better for tomorrow!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the V8s at Simmons Plains – and I have a 3 day pass sitting right next to me – which is my main reason for hoping for good weather! If it’s wet tomorrow though, I’ll give it a miss I think, since most of the action I want to see is on the weekend anyway.
On the subject of women, I’m not really sure whether I should say anything – except that the girl I went for coffee with yesterday still seems really nice! I sent an email to her last night and she replied today.. it looks like she enjoyed herself. Turns out she’s a fan of British comedy too, which is awesome (we have plenty of DVDs to watch hehe). She SMSed me today asking for my last name, and I’m still wondering why – I might ask her when I call her tomorrow…
The world seems a really happy place right now. Damn I am an impatient bastard though – there just always seems to be something I’m waiting for. Right now I’m waiting for the trip to Melbourne next week, waiting for the V8s over the weekend, and the party on Saturday night. Waiting for the final decision to be made on whether we buy this ERP solution, so that I can discuss where my career is headed from here. Waiting for the next payday. Waiting for the drags next weekend. Waiting for myself and my fellow committee members of the Commodore Club to come to an agreement on a number of issues so we can publicly launch the club, officially. Waiting, waiting, waiting….
Why is it so darn hard to live in the now? Once upon a time I used to have a ring, which an ex girlfriend (THE ex girlfriend, as it happens) bought for me. I’d have to have a look but I’m not sure that I’ve got it any more – the reason I bring it up is that it had the words “Carpe Diem” inscribed on it in big fancy black script.
Those words should be a motto to live by, for all of us. Why worry about the future, if it’s going to hold you back from enjoying the present?
And how is it that one changes a mindset of always looking forward, into one that plans ahead, but remains firmly rooted in the here and now?
Maybe one day the answers to these questions will become clear… in the meantime I’m going to jump around to some Rob Zombie!
