Theory Corner - Part Three

I have a new theory, although it's actually an old theory that just rears it's ugly head to annoy me from time to time!

Have you ever had a message window sitting open on your taskbar and you close it because you're no longer talking to that person? Have you deleted someone from MSN or Yahoo Messenger or any other similar messaging service because you never seem to talk to them??

Of course you have, why wouldn't you?! That's not what is the weird, annoying thing that I'm trying to get across in this theory?!

My theory is that if you close a dialogue box that's being unused or if you delete a person from your list that you don't engage in conversation with, all of a sudden that person comes back?! They decide that they want to message you after you decide that it's safe enough to close the box or delete their name?!

It really bothers me!

There have been people on Yahoo messenger that i have deleted because i don't speak with them anymore and as soon as i do that, they seem to pop out of nowhere acting all chummy and as though we speak on a daily basis!!!

It happens with dialogue boxes as well......what happens is a 7 minute lull in the conversation and so you close the box and WHAMBAM, up pops the same dialogue box you just closed?!

It's such a nuisance but in conclusion (coz that's what professional theorists use - a conclusion) my theory is this....

If you want someone to talk to you, DELETE THEM!! If you feel you would like more out of the conversation you are having with someone, close the already-open dialogue box. Leaving it open is a clear indication that there is OBVIOUSLY nothing more to talk about!!!

Time Warped

Another train story. Although, it doesn't actually have to do with the train itself. Funny things always just seem to happen when things are associated with them!

This morning i got up reluctantly after my alarm had gone off and rushed around doing the necessary things to get ready. It seemed darker than usual but i thought nothing of it. I finished doing everything and raced to get out the door. I paused as i opened my door realising i hadn't put my jewellery on but decided that time was precious and losing it wasn't an option this morning, so i headed out the door.

I drove up to the station and noticed how odd it was that there were no cars around the parking lot, there was ample parking in the "good spots" so i parked there, today was going to be a good day i thought!

As i did a magnificent reverse park i briefly glanced down at the clock (which is usually out because of daylight saving but isn't at the moment) and i did a double take. It was 7:24am......

WHAT THE?!

I was a whole one hour early for my train!!! I could've slept in longer!!!! i COULD'VE put my jewellery on, all of a sudden my day wasn't as good as i originally thought it was going to be!!!!

So, in fear of losing my great parking spot and not sure of whether i'd be able to get in at work, i sat in the car for a whole hour twiddling my thumbs. Mind you the heater was cranking, so i was warmer in the car than i would've been in my house or on the train but still, i wasn't supposed to be early!!!

So, note to self, look at the hour AND the minutes when switching off your alarm, not just the minutes.

Alight Already

This morning I was on the train in to work (stupid things always happen on the train honestly) and i was reading my bible, something i'm ashamed to say i haven't always done in the past.

But i must've been so engrossed, and i was, that i almost missed my stop. I was reading Acts, and all of a sudden it seemed very dark and i felt i had been on the train far too long and as i looked up and the doors of the train were opening (because i'm usually waiting at the doors long before they open) i noticed we were in the tunnel station of Museum - MY STOP!!! I had to grab my things and run, i think i would've been a most ridiculous sight!

But when i'd calmed down a bit i realised that it wasn't such a bad thing that i'd nearly missed my stop because i was reading my bible!!!! Wow, it blew me away, what a worthy cause to miss my stop for!!! But the other thing that blew me away was how engrossed i must've been to have not noticed we'd pulled in to the station, i'm not usually one to zone out while i'm on the train, i hate missing my stops!

The other thing that made me think was how annoyed i would've been if i actually didn't get off the train when i did, i think i would've been so frustrated at myself but i also think that at the same time i would've been a little bit happy about missing my stop for reading my bible.

Anyway it was too good a feeling for me this morning not to share it with you, whoever you are.

Have a good day.

The Little Lonely Green Leaf

Today a leaf had fallen on the floor and was sitting all on it's lonesome. So i took it around the office and fanned myself with it (which looked hideous in itself because it was so small!).

In a fit of what could only be known as "Fridayism" I decided to write a poem about it, slightly hilarious and nonsical (nonsense) as it is, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Hope you have a giggle!

Enjoy!

"One little lone leaf sitting on the floor
Fell it from the pot plant, resting near the door
Along came Alisha and all at once it cried
'Please don't let me wither, hold me closely to your side'

The little lonely green leaf, saved from carpets grim
Was now the talk of many leaves still growing on the limbs
As Alisha waved the leaf from one stroke to the next
The ladies in the office seemed confused and so perplexed

The leaf with it's new owner was as happy as ya mum
While all the other pothead leaves were green and very glum
Because, you see, it didn't need the dirt to save it's life
It waved throughout the office with such freedom in it's life

The moral of the lonely leaf is clear as clear can be
If you see a lonely leaf when making cups of tea
Pick it up and help it out because you never know
When a leaf might save your life from the beastly winters snow"

Quizzical

You are guided by water. You are generally calm and
peaceful, but you can be very destructive

I don't know about you, but i LOVE a good quiz!!! So i had a go at the quiz on Elyse's page...it was fun and i like water too.

It's Time to Go ....BIG BROTHER....

Well this is a blog i started yesterday (Tuesday) and this page crashed and along with it went my WHOLE BLOG?!?! I'd even finished it too, shoulda just pressed the publish button....grrrrrr....

So we say goodbye to another season of Big Brother and what a bad way to end the 5th series?! It was rigged from the start. Everyone KNEW the Logans were going to win the moment Gretel announced they were going in as one. It was a sad moment for our poor Timmy. Greg should've been kicked out on the Sunday nite, not Vesna.

Well this week I am truly in mourning, i am even wearing black...oh but then again, i wear that everyday. But Monday night's finale was more like a funeral procession rather than the victorious celebration that it should've been!!!

However, the highlight of the night for me was the part where they walked out of the house for the last time and were greeted by ghostly images from their 3 month past. It was an emotional journey for them and for me (that's right, i admit, i did get a little teary).

I missed the tapdancing routine (anyone tape it?) which i was a little disappointed by but not to fret....

As i watched the finale i realised what a touching, unforgettable series had taken place in the last 3 months of the 5th series in the big brother house.

So Big Brother your company has been wonderful, i will miss you dearly and for another 8 months i say Good morning, and in case i don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.

Blog on!

Psalm 116:11 - It is well with my soul

It's amazing what people miss in a Sunday morning's Bible reading. Whether that's because people are still half asleep or whether it's because their mind wanders off to another place or whether it's because their eyes are just open and the rest of them is switched off or whether people just plain and simply just miss it, it's just quite odd.

On Sunday the 7th August 2005 i picked up something in the morning service that quite amused me. Although evidently no-one else seemed to pick up on it (according to their blank faced reactions) not even Anna who was sitting next to me until i pointed out the verse that had just been read and she chortled. It could possibly have been that there were more men in the house than women, i'm not quite sure what the deal was.

Now, before i jot down this finding that i made i want to say that i have heard many a bible verse that make men proud....i've have never heard of quite so many verses that make women proud....until now. I've heard of the verse in Ephesians 5:22, the verse in 1 Corinthians 7:39, the verse in Proverbs 21:9, 21:19, 27:15 but this verse i found would have to put the icing on the cake - at least for the women. It goes a little something like this.....

"And in my dismay I said, ............(wait for it)...............ALL MEN ARE LIARS."
Psalm 116:11

That's right, read it and weep lads!!!!!!! What's that about the bible being the sword?? Welllllll, haha, on guard.....TAKE THAT......

Now I know what you're thinking, stop being so silly and it's quite true, i AM in fact taking these verses quite out of context but sometimes in life it's fun to find things in the bible and purposely take them out of context (although not in seriousness, only in fun), and it can even make bible reading really enjoyable, it's also a great way of remembering a verse (the one above is etched on my mind now!!! haha).

I guess you have to keep in mind the days that all these verses were written too and take that into consideration (it was a hugely male dominated society) and there are a whole lot of things that need to be kept in mind and in all seriousness, we do have to understand that women's lib only came into effect in the 1960's/1970's hehehe.....

I love the sense of humour God gave me and i think that says that my maker has a little bit of a sense of humour himself, don't you think?

99% urgently serious, absolutely gracious, loving, forgiving, caring and totally great company and great value.
1% a total cracker of a blast to have around!

That's my God.

The Heavenwood Status

I was on my way home on the train the other day and i noticed a lady with a magazine. Most people that know me know of my undying love and hunger to be famous. So it wasn't long before i was wishing that i was inside the magazine and being read about.

And it got me thinking.

People with fame seem to be at an unreachable distance and if you're not famous no-one really cares about you. People can be so intimidated by famous people that they are made to feel unworthy in comparison.

It's as if famous people own half the world and they probably do own most material possesions. They seem so important, they've got it all and any ordinary person would do anything for them, admit it, i will.

But strip all that away from them and what have they got?

When i get to heaven i'm going to be famous....but will they? Will you? It's in my pattern of thinking that God will make me famous when i get there and only him alone can do that so long as i've made God famous in this life and I'm going to do my darn hardest at that with or without criticism but that's another blog. I might be a measly little nothing on this earth but when i get to heaven it'll be all good.....what about celebrities then? Will their fame have meant anything? Hmmmm food for my thoughts.

I find it bizarre but incredibly empowering and releasing to think that at the end of the world nothing else will matter except God. Not our friends, not our family, not anyone's advice, opinions or insults, not celebrities, not politics, not poverty nor riches, not complexities, not bills not work, not study, not you, not me, nothing, and all men will become equal before God making no-one worthier than any other person. There's a song that reminds me of that but i can't place my finger on which one it is, when i do actually remember it, i'll blog it!

Some people live their lives to attain the Hollywood status but i'm doing my darndest (and i'll be damned if i'm not - quite literally!) to attain the Heavenwood status!

The Crazy Kind of Love

UPDATE: Ok, I don't know how this will work or where this will pop up but i'm going to try an update. I was at LOVE THAT on the weekend (a teenagers Christian conference - i know i'm not a teen) and a bloke called Thomas Hanson spoke. Something I found interesting was something he said about the maturity. He was saying something like he felt that mature people lose their sense of adventure and their willingness to try things out and how closed he often found them to be unlike carefree, spirited people who aren't afraid to speak up about things and make a difference in the world.

It made me think of this blog and i guess that's why i wanted to include it here. There is some kind of advantage to being young and i think we need to maintain and hold on to our youthfulness for as long as we possibly can. He reminded me that we are all God's children and that God is our eternal Father and that we should be exactly that - Gods children, God's adventurous, energetic, passionate children.

________________________________________________

Hi

I just wanted to blog about my passion/love for being crazy. I enjoy being weird and psycho and absolutely crazy. It's one of the things that keeps me going in life.

I also really enjoy being an idiot when everything around me seems so stupid and serious and mature (big fat straight face). Blah blah blah.......

Great example of this would be when i was sitting on the train the other day and i wanted to take video footage (with my new phone - oh phone i love you) of my train ride home. i realised that i couldn't smile or talk to it or anything!!!! People around me would have given me weird looks or thought it was the most ridiculous thing to do. So i refrained from entertaining myself on the ride home. Would've been hilarious if i DID do it though - imagine their faces!!!

I hate being my age because at my age, everyone expects you to be quiet and settled down when all along inside of me wants to jump up and down and just go crazy, i mean, really, the world itself in all it's seriousness drives me crazy anyway and i hate it when people look down their long skinny fat stupid noses at you because you've obviously "lost the plot"...or so they think. RARRRRRRRRRRRRRR I REFUSE TO SUCCUMB TO SOCIETY'S VICIOUS PEER PRESSURE?!

Peter Pan would have to be my all time earthling hero (oh and Wonder Woman and Batman). He was good looking, he could fly, he didn't let the pirates get away with ANYTHING and best of all, he never wanted to grow up and for some reason just the desire not to grow up (or perhaps it was because he lived in Neverland) allowed him to stay young and jovial - i want to live there, boooo!!!

Society has lost the plot....put me in a mental institution for saying that if you'd like, but frankly, i think i'd quite enjoy that. People seem to not care what you do in those places and it would be a pretty entertaining place to live...never a dull moment.

I've been intently watching "The 4400" lately and one of the insane men recently became sane, it was the saddest part of the show i thought. *tears*

I was at Karaoke the other night (one of my favourite past times and perhaps it's because it's loud and raucous caucous and people are my age and no-one worries about anyone else and there's no competitiveness) and our group was scolded by the host for having such a good time and being sober....he wasn't impressed that we weren't buying drinks from the bar, that was his problem. It's sad that alcohol is thought to be the only means to having fun and relaxing and enjoying oneself. Very sad!!!

Anyway, I've blurbed and that's all i've got to say.

Cheers!

A Lunch Experience

I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to write in this blog but two of my friends, Jess Soper and Rohan Nowell, asked to be included in one of my next blogs.

I suppose it came from the conversation we were having regarding Rohan's Website. I told him that I always felt really important and quite famous whenever i got a mention on his site, I do like it a lot!So in return they asked me to blog their names on mine.

So.

Here is the blog.

I should probably include Matt Gluyas and Ash Morrice as well in case they feel offended and unworthy of my blogs which, i stress, they aren't. So yea. I (almost...hahaha Rohan's word) felt out of place at lunch on Sunday. I was the odd one out if you catch my drift hehehe. (I understand what you're saying but you're not looking at it from my point of view, isn't that right Matt?!).

There was a moment at KFC (coz that's where we ended up eating after much indecisiveness by Jess, good on ya?!) when we seemed to be invaded and no-one knew what was going on as one of the staff did a MEGA FAST clean up of the dining area. It was almost like there was a raid happening. We were all shocked and stunned and weren't sure what was happening until the staff member mumbled something about "just needing a tray". Mind you, there were plenty of trays sitting on top of the bin. We all lost it, Matt inparticular, and were just about wetting ourselves with laughter. It was indeed a very entertaining way to spice up our lunch time experience. Would've been priceless to have caught on video!

But it was all good, a good time was had by all. Quite a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon really, one of the most pleasant Sunday's I've had in a while, good company, good food, relatively good conversation and wasn't the weather just lovely?! God is sooooo good!!

Couples you later

A "not funny" Prank

Is it funny to betray confidence? I THINK NOT!!!! (Although, in all seriousness, it's something i've done which i'm not proud to admit - different story!)

But this email is not serious - well it is but it isn't.

Some friends....who, from the kindness i have left in my heart, shall remain nameless (that's right, you know who you are?!) played a heartless prank on me that nearly gave me a heart attack.......phew that's a lot of heart!

One of my friends knows that i have a crush, a pure crush nothing more, on a certain lad, but that's not the part we're focusing on here!!! I was joking when she asked how "we" were and i said oh great and that she could tell the world that we were together. So she "wrote" an email to the world proclaiming our togetherness and blind carbon copied me.

My OTHER friend then messaged me "congratulating" me on my find. I couldn't believe it?! My first friend (gosh, this is getting a bit tricky) had ACTUALLY sent out the email. I thought she was kidding?! I nearly died and thought that any hope with this person had been sabotaged, i nearly flippin' had a heart attack.

It turned out that the joke was all on me....oh HA HA....and that the only email sent, was to me and it was a dummy email (a very well-written, convincing email). The other friend was given specific instructions to say what she did.

Goodness me, what is the world coming to?! Thank you miss K and miss J for your efforts - consider auditioning for the show "stooged", you'd be FANTASTIC!!!

WHY MUST YOU MAKE THIS A ....CYBERSPACE.....OF LIES??!?!!? ...tut, tut....
