Well here I go for one more time....
Finally bitten the bullet and made inquiries about studying for a Diploma in Accounting.
Well actually, I was inquiring about Bachelor of Accounting, but the guy I was talking to said to start with the Diploma as I have been out for so long, and if I want to continue onto a Bachelor, it would take 12 months off.
Maybe this is the mid-life crisis? Or maybe I just want to be able to say "I do know what I am talking about & now I have the Diploma to prove it!! Lol
Wish me luck <3

Be the change
Went to the late Will Anderson show last Saturday night, and whilst it was not Willarious as promised, and I am sure he was tripping & intoxicated throughout the show, he said something that has been churning over in my mind ever since.
Other than "it's the last show of the night, I've got no where to be. Although it's a fine line between a comedy show and a hostage situation", when being heckled by a lady who wouldn't man up and carry on with him.
He also quoted Gandhi; "be the change you wish to see in others"
I can't remember what relevance this had to his show, it was during the whole Gay/Lesbian equal rights sector. Which is something else I have noticed, Gay and Lesbian and their supporters seem to be using comedy as their platform to get their message across that they are no different to the rest of us.
I'll be honest, the conservative side of me, says NO, it is wrong, a marriage is a sacred vow between a man and a woman, and a child needs to have a mother and a father, not a mother and a mother, or a father and a father.
But then the realistic side steps up with; who are you trying to kid, if they love each other, why cannot they be wed in holy matrimony, legally in the eyes of the law, and not be ridiculed or judged by those that are by no way in the position to do so.
And really, with the number of single parents these days, a child is lucky to live with 2 parents who love them, regardless of their gender.
Maybe that is what he means by, be the change. To be tolerant of those who's views and ideals are different to our own.
I have Gay and Lesbian friends, but I don't see them as such, I see them as who they are, my friends, and if one day they ask me to answer the call to support them, I hope I am able to, but as of right now, I am still a fence sitter, but I try not to be judgmental about things that do not affect me, and at the end of the day, are none of my business, and to me, that is change enough. For now.

LIfe
I'll be the first to admit, I don't understand life. I mean, why am I here? For what purpose do I serve. Maybe I am under estimating myself or lacking in self appreciation, or appreciation of others, I don't know.
By no means am I suicidal, I just wonder what else is there. What am I missing.
I have both my parents, a pretty awesome sibling, who has a family of his own. I have a wonderful partner, beautiful daughter who drives me nuts, and three more girls in Qld I claim as my own.
I have a roof over my head, food in my fridge, 2 dogs, a car & a boat, by all accounts a good job with a lenient boss.
So what's the confusion, why do I feel I only exist, not live.
