    Can I kick you while you're down?? Thats no good champ. Chin up its nearly the weekend.

    All Ive done is bitch, study, moan, feel sorry for myself, study, curse myself for the last few weeks then I read all that stuff about the crap going down in Burma and told myself to shut the fuck up! I got nothing on them.

    I just contacted an ex of mine who lives in Osaka. Looks like Im gonna book myself a trip to Japan to do some skiing and sightseeing. I aint been to Japan for 5-6 years. I love the place
    That Burma news is just aweful :( latest news I saw is say 1/4 of a million people :( Can't even imagine - tragic is an understatement!!

    We all have our whinges..it's only natural.....but it's important to kick ourselves - remind ourselves that our problems really are nothing compared to some.

    Book it!!!! What a great idea!! I'd LOVE to visit Japan - looks like an amazing place. I did an assignmet on Japan when I was in highschool and have wanted to see it ever since.

    Yep its a rough world sometimes.

    I spent so much time in Japan over nearly a 10 year period. Spent at least 3 months a year working there. Mainly Osaka

    Love the food, the skiing is some of the best in the world, the girls love Aussie guys. Its a beautiful country
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Hey Zig?? A question....seeing as though you've stayed there a few times.....I've booked a 2 bedroom apartment at The Astor....but.....it looks like there's going to be a few more than 4 people staying.....are they strict as far as checking how many people are there, or will we be OK?

    You'll be right. We had extra people visit and then stay the last 2 times we were there. Also, the reception isn't manned after a certain time and you have to swipe your key/card to get in the main door so they wouldn't know who left and who didn't.

    There's nothing cool to do here....I'd need to leave Townsville to do anything and I can't do that because we're giving the residential division of my business a total overhaul which requires me and my dad working our fucking butts off (because we're the brains of the operation -- the residential staff are just "doers")...which means not doing my ebook and focusing on the marketing of that...which shits me off.

    And Leighs madly re-planning his 8 issues of the comic so doing anything spontaneous and fun just isn't going to happen.

    And we really can't afford to do anything fun. We've been living off my wage for 6 months already and now we've just found out Leigh needs to start the comic from scratch again to get it published which is another 6 - 12 months of full time drawing and inking for him....which is a big drain on the finances...not that I'm complaining about the comic....but realistically we're losing $50,000 this year with him not working so we've got to be careful.

    ARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I've been working all day and all night for nearly 6 months now. I think I'm cracking....but I know tomorrow I'll wake up and go "I'm over my whinge -- back to work!" :o

    Yeah.....we all have those days....it's only human. At least you know it'll only last a day and you'll be back to normal tomorrow :)

    I must say booking this trip and having something to look forward to has really lifted my spirits.
    Not that I'm complaining....staying home to raise the kids is what I /we chose and I don't regret it for a second......but yeah....since Glenns been working away, I've really realised that some 'time-out' now and then is essential!!!

    If you think there's nothing to do in Townsville, you should try Dwellingup :s I pretty much, just stay at home 24/7....and being crook for the last couple of weeks hasn't helped.
