How do you catch a rabbit?

2010-08-12T06:22:00.000-07:00

Well to prevent a rabbit going down the rabbit hole I do believe this little story I found could be quite handy.

The LAPD, CIA and FBI are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into the forest and each of them have to catch it.
First off the CIA. They plant the animal informants all over the forest. Then proceed to question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations the CIA conclude that rabbits do not exist.
Second the FBI enters the forest. After two weeks searching the forest and working the scene coming up with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it including the rabbit and make no apologies. The FBI state, the rabbit had it coming.
Lastly enters the LAPD. With their strategy in hand, and after two hours return out of the forest with a badly beaten bear. The bear yelling "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

She finally gave up..
she dropped the fake smile
as a tear ran down her cheek
& she whispered to herself,
"I can't do this anymore"

Spring Clean in Winter

2010-08-10T23:54:00.000-07:00

Brr the winter is here and no I'm not a huge fan of it. Give me the sun and its warmth, I'm happy. This winter I have prepared myself with a little "spring" clean. In order to enjoy spring and summer with nothing but good people and happiness. A friend of mine told me I deserve to be happy. I know in theory this sounds right, but its something that I do have trouble with believing. Its always easier to be negative rather than positive right. I was always a positive person and I guess some things changed, along with it I changed. People always change, but unfortunately I think I may have lost myself in the process of change. Thankfully, with my cleaning I have started to find me again. Rediscovered the real me. Trust me it was hard and long, but hey with the awesome people I have around me in life, it wasn't so bad.
So I deserve to be happy. Well I do, damn straight I do. The things that weren't making me happy are gone. No longer can they bring me down. Happiness, while some may think it is out of reach. Its not. Its always just a smile away. Aimz, you little pop tart, without you I'm sure I would've ended up a total wreck through everything over the last few months. Kat, my little caramel tart, I do wish we lived closer but at least I can go to Melbourne for a darn good reason girl. Don't forget babes, F1 Australian GP next year!! We so need to do another vodka induced all nighter and soon. Linda, my crazy sexy mumma, damn woman what on earth would I do without you? You and me babe, a pair of Mad Hatters. Can't wait for tea. I promise you I will be in Newy soon. We'll just be kickin' it with our mate JD!
Remember Aimz, peeping Toms are called that because its more appropriate than some other choices and yes bears are dangerous and cause trouble. Kitty Kat, I can't wait to see you again, damn I miss you my sweets. Don't forget to start making those tarts hahahaha Linda, get those dancing shoes on because we are going to flutterwacken, vigorously. Even if we do fall flat on our arses, we won't feel it if we've had enough. Love you girls xxx

Love, Life and Laughter

2010-06-21T06:30:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love it when you remember things you thought you had long forgotten?

My girls and I, my gosh! We use to have some crazy arse nights. Sitting up all night on twitter, facebook, msn. Anything where we could all talk in the same place. Our little group of cookies, spread around the world. Chatting all night long, laughing till we cried. Talking about anything and everything. Deepest secrets to recent happenings in our lives. Asking and giving advice on everything. Usually while we were drinking cups of coffee, tea, OJ or even vodka, rum and wine. Just a group of girls catching up for a regular chat in a coffee shop or bar. Just shared over the internet instead. We would talk for hours and hours on end. And ya know, it doesn't matter if one of us doesn't get to catch up for sometime, we always know whats happening with each other and how everyone is doing. We're all very close, my darling girls. Oh, how I love you all so much. No matter what happens or what changes, we are always there for each other. Just how real girlfriends should be.

To my girls, you know who you are.. I will always love you and be there for you no matter what. Whether it be your brightest moment or darkest hour. You can count on me.

"Always On My Mind" - Adrian Edward

2009-09-08T18:52:00.000-07:00

Once in a while something beautiful enters your life and warms your heart and soul. Thats just how I feel about Adrian Edward's album "Always On My Mind". Adrian has one of those voices that soothes the soul and calms the mind. Its such a joy to listen to this cd. A smooth mix of latin and contemporary, it will make your body groove and your soul move. Each song on this album tells a story, each one seamlessly joining to the next one. I guarantee there will be at least one story every person will relate to.

My personal favourite, while very hard to choose just one song, is "Simple Man". After all ladies, isn't that just what we all want? A simple man to hold us tight and love us just right? I promise you, after listening to this album once, you will leave it on repeat over and over again. Such an adaptable album, listen to it while alone relaxing, enjoy it with friends with a bottle of wine, or cuddle up with your special one. Even get off the couch, let yourself go and dance the time away with this timeless music.

Adrian Edward is one you will not forget easily nor will you want too. A rare work of art that you'll feel yourself become one with his story and not want it to end. Thank you Adrian for sharing your beautiful voice with us. Thank you for bringing so much love and joy to us, for sharing a part of yourself with us. To not hear Adrian sing, is a crime to the heart and soul.

thoughts inside my head

2009-06-29T04:38:00.000-07:00

We all hurt, we all laugh, we all cry, we all smile. We never know when something will happen, something that can change your life forever. Something so profound, so unbelievable you won't grasp it in its entirety for sometime. Someone is waiting for me one day, to let down my walls. Let everything break down and tell them everything there is to tell. I don't know if that can ever happen. I don't know if I could bare my entire soul to someone and not feel vulnerable about what they might do. Its ok to have walls up, they protect you but sometimes you just have to let someone in. This I know, I understand it maybe more than some. I have way too many walls, but I can't seem to let them go. They keep me safe, they protect me from pain and heartache. Feelings I have felt before and don't want to feel them again. How can I let someone in and risk all that again.

I have too much invested in me, too much invested in life to allow something to break me down. I have secrets, some to hard to say. Some too hard to even acknowledge at times. There are some I will take to my grave, until then, they are protected in my heart locked up and wrapped up in a chain. I wish sometimes I could let it all go, let the walls down and not be so worried about things. But I can't that is just me. Why can't I just let them all go?

Dear Tony

2009-06-17T07:20:00.000-07:00

Dear Tony, a wonderful friend. My love and thoughts are with you through these trying times of yours. I offer you my hand for you to take and help you along your way. If there is anything I could do for you, I would.

What is a friend?

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have

and one of the best things you can be.

A friend is one who will always be beside you, through

all the laughter, and through each and every tear.

A friend is one thing you can always rely on, the

someone you can open up to.

A friend is a sanctuary

A friend is a smile

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,

no matter where you are.

A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Love you my friend.

My Darling Kat

2009-06-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

Darling dear Kat, I am terribly sorry for what has happened to you and your family. During these hard times, I give you all my love and care. You're all in our thoughts each minute of every day. I can't wait to give you a great big hug. If there was anything I could do in the world right now, it would be to take away your pain. I will remain by your side through everything you go through babe.

Weeping willow with your

tears running down

Why do you always weep

and frown?

Is it because you'll love to

one day?

Is it because you could

not stay?

On your branches you

will swing

To the love of happiness

that day will bring

You found shelter in

your shade

You thought his laughter

would never fade

Weeping willow stop

your tears

There is something to

calm your fears

You think death as your

true forever part

And I know he will always

be in your heart.

Love you lots Kat.

Reflections

The Man In The Mirror
When you get what you want in stuggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what the man has to say

For it isn't a mans father, mother or wife
Whose judgement upon him must pass
The fellows whose verdict counts most in his life
Is the man staring back from the glass

He's the fellow to please; never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear up to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend

You can fool the world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

The Making Of A True Friend

2 tonnes of shopping

a pinch of endless chatter

1 large chocolate cake

100 D & M's

a pile of sleep overs

1,000,000 phone calls

and 10 deep secrets shared

between 2

a sympathetic ear

a shoulder to cry on

heaps of hugs

gallons of trust

lastly, a generous serving of good

and fun times.

For Ally

2009-05-31T23:37:00.001-07:00

Say Goodbye (For Allison)

She was a swan who wanted to fly

fly away from the pain

She wanted just to say goodbye

and not come back again

And as much as it hurts to let her go

She only wanted to be free

Now she's happy and free you know

you have to let her be

And one day you'll see her, once more

And this you may deny

But one day you'll see her, I'm sure

But for now you must say goodbye.

I still cry for you Ally, I wish you didnt have to go. I know one day I will see you again and all will be like they were once before. Until then, I will still miss you each day and love you forever my dear friend. Just continue to watch over me and I'm sure I'll be fine.

Inner Thoughts

2009-05-31T22:43:00.000-07:00

I was thinking about one of my best friends today, shes been gone now for almost 16 years. I miss her just as much today as I did the first day she was no longer with us. Allison was such a sweetheart. She was my pillar. I told her everything. I know she's around seeing all the mistakes I've made and the tears, smiles and laughs I've had. Ally, I miss you so much. Even now there are days I just want to call you, tell you everything. Like I use to. Then reality sets in and my heart sinks lower. I still can't believe an angel like you was taken away from us. There are days when the tears stay away, but there are days I still break down at lose it. Ally was such a special friend, the kind you always have a very few of.

Ally is one friend, you never want to lose yet alone have leave this world for eternity.

I look at my darling friends and my cookies.. you all know who you are. And yes Tony that includes you! Where would I be without you guys? Sleeping at 4am in the morning probably. haha I love you guys more than you know.

Heaven's Love

2009-05-31T06:43:00.000-07:00

I once had a heart

And it was true

But now its gone

From me to you.

Take care of it

As I have done

For you have two

And I have none.

If I go to heaven

And you're not there

I'll leave your name

On a golden stair.

And if you're not there

On Judgement Day

I'll know you went

The other way.

I'll give the angels

Back their wings

Their golden harps

And all those things.

And just to prove

My love is true

I'll go to hell

To be with you.
