Yes I know what you mean...I sometimes wake up either feeling lucky or cursed but to me the city is always something I feel a parallel and affinity towards...I love to step onto the sidewalk and be swept up in a sea of people forever moving and rushing towards nothing... Yes I was born in Norway and as much as I love Australia...it is not my home, culture or history...I sometimes see things I am attracted to and realise that they are reminders to me of a place I miss....
Sad isn't it to feel so alone in a city full of so many people...yet alone in the desert one can feel totally at peace.. Kinda like when I was married, loneliest place in my bed at night yet now that I don't share the sheets I am so at peace...
I think the problem with communication lies with the difference in suburban and city living...One has more time to spend time 'chatting' and sometimes the city is overwhelming for those that are not used to the differences....I have been city based most of my life, Paris, milan, Rome, Cairo, Riyadh etc. and sometimes my 'ways' offends people...but in saying that I do take the time to try and remember that common courtesy is not dead.
Spent time in Sudan near Khatoum in my friends village when he was married... The innate beauty of Africa and its people will be forever encarved in my heart. I felt myself change, ever so slightly but a shift did happen and now I feel so blessed to have shared such magic in a wonderful country...In time I think it would be best described as becoming 'one' with a land that has the most amazing contrast both georgraphically and spiritually....
Well went to work today...all was normal except met 'Mr. Perfect' whilst serving in myer department store.... Stunning looking, you know the type...tall, dark, blue eyes that you melt into....funny, charismatic...charming...etc. etc etc...sorry guys I know you are about to heave at this point. Well he asked me out on a date...the catch?? I am 39...he is 25..... I can't get my head around this...does anyone think I am being silly and giving up an opportunity that could be wonderful because of political correctness?
All living creatures are supposed to be equal... What gives someone the right to choose which creature is more deserving to not be on the menu over others... I think it is more a matter of humanity when it comes to killing for a food source rather than making it a sport or devaluing an animals life when it comes to dinner....most of us don't give a toss and just sadly devour more than our poor stomachs can tolerate...obesity is definitely on the increase!
Ha-ha yes we all love canadians especially the men... and many here....must be because of the wine...or perhaps they love just listening to our accents?
Laying next to Johnny Depp in the Bahamas drinking a pina colada and having a never ending packet of tim tams..... (A place where cellulite does not exist)
I have never hated anyone...I think sometiems hurt is confused with hate... In my books friends can become lovers but it is more difficult for lovers to become friends.
