i speak on my own here but surfing is exactly the same as walking the dog, mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, you don't think you have time for it, but there is always time. I work three days a week, have uni 4 days a week, party 3 days a week, and i always find time for at least 2-4 surfs a week, even if it's just one shitty wave, just the satisfaction does it for me.
SORRY! I re-read what I wrote and it was wrong -- I meant to stay that I don't think people spend enough time for even just 15 minutes sitting there thinking --- and I personally don't spend enough time doing it myself. That's where surfing would be good because it forces you to have that alone time to think.
I agree that people can make the time to do stuff....but I struggle finding "myself time" to do shit like meditate or just sit on the couch in silence and think. I work walk the dogs at 6am, go to work by 8, walk the dogs after work at 6.30, suddenly I'm cooking dinner then I'm working again at night. And Leigh and I are rarely apart so quiet "me" time for even 1/2 hour is very very rare which sucks.
Reflection and contemplation is a necessity in life. You can get lost if you don't take the time to sit back and think.

No need to say sorry. I was just saying that for myself surfing is like a daily activity, but not daily, a couplaweekly activity, like going to the gym for some or what not. But when shit does get in your head and you want time to think it's a great way to give you that time!

I believe in Evil Dolphins, not sharks, that way i can't get eaten by a shark!
Also, worrying about sharks is similar to saying what about snakes when walking through your yard! Snakes kill, sharks kill, snakes on land, sharks in water. same thing. you still walk on land...

I'm friggin scared of snakes too!!!! If I'm in the yard and I hear something, I always (half-jokingly) say to Leigh "SNAKE!!"....then get the hell out of there!
Hate sharks, hate snakes, hate crocodiles....bad bad BAD!!!! And unfortunately, we have plenty of ALL of them right here in North Queensland!!!

At least getting eaten by a shark is a 'cool' way to go. Being bitten by a snake is a bit wussy

i killed a snake yesterday.
whipper snipping in long grass, next thing i know this long thing comes flying out, lucky the whipper snipper did a bit of a number on him and cut him up a bit.
so then after looking at it for a while i decided i better take it's head off to put it out of it's misery.

I think that's another reason I stay up so late after the kids have gone to bed....it's really the only time I have to myself....not having to work or anything......just me with my thoughts

huge! bout 4 foot, i think it was a killer cobra death rattler cottonmouth viper type thing.
bout 40cm long, i think just a carpet python type thing, totally harmless.
Yeah, harmless until a carpet python bites you and it gets so infected that it doesn't heal properly for 2 years....a friends dad at high school had a python bite and years later it would still get all festy! It just wouldn't 100% heal. It's apparently because they eat rodents and just shit. Grosssss!

FUCK THAT!!!! If I heard a noise and I was way out there by myself, I'd be fucking OUTTA THERE sooo quick!! Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.
If we just killed all sharks, crocodiles, snakes and stingers, I'd be a very happy girl!
