    For the last three days Ive not worked got up at sunrise yesterday drove 20 miniutes through winding hills full of vine yards and strawberry fields undulating . Fast drive on the edge to get the adrenallin up for what Im about to do.
    Sh!t hot, reach Flinders cliffs which is like looking over one of those Irish cliffs onto many surf reefs about 100 feet below.Phillip Island where the great whites live is out on a 45% angle ten miles away but they got seals over there adn none come to Flinders for some reason so the big sharks are rare.

    There is noone out on my favorite surf break(noone on any of them! Only small waves about chest high some a touch more. I just about got adrenalin dripping out of my nose as im paddling out over the deeper channel backinto reed covered reef.

    Out there on my own for two + hours on a dropping tide ,(so I feel safer from anything large cause Im touching the odd rock as Im paddling out ; got one wave from the take off rock put my arm into the wallof water (Like a handbrake) and stopped into the tube then pulled my arm out and never came out the barrel until the wave stopped. Smoking ! I thought to my self ,wonder how long that was? So as the next wave pitched over the start of the reef I layed there and counted on my fingers 1 and2and3 to 7 until that one went behind me.

    A 7 second pit !!!!!!! noone even looked at the break, i was totally alone noone even walking on the beach!

    On the way back I drove slow to sunnyridge farm and bought 8 bucks worth of the largest juciest strawberries I've ever eaten (I couldnt get my thumb and middle finger around one of them ) and drove through the sunny countryside on the way home scoffing berrys thinking "I wonder what the poor are up to"; Sat down in front of the airconditioner and went to sleep in my favorite chair. Done that 3 days in a row, but people were out there with me the other two days.

    Well thats my slice of heaven , probably not yours though.
    Sorry Salty,Spicoli hmm not really.
    Knowning im gonna be a dad.

    Winning my first Amateur Boxing fight.

    First Girlfriend.

    First Kiss.

    My first sexual experience.

    Mom getting over a serious illness.

    Getting engaged.

    Going to Isle Of Wight with my girl.

    Playing my Best Basketball game ever with about 30 kids watching.

    Getting the best Swimming time in my year.

    Beating my stuck up P.E teacher in a 100m race in front of everybody.

    Being the fittest kid in my year doing the bleeping test. Which is basically running up and down a hall, and theres sound on the stereo which blips quicker and quicker. I was the last kid standing and i was pretty proud of that.

    Thats the one's that come to mind theres many more, but i'll be here all day if i remember more i'll list em later.

    National Intervarsities 2009.
    Travelled up with two friends and met a third there.
    We all weighed in together, gorged ourselves afterward and won our bouts in the evening.

    Early 2008
    Went to a lot of fights, trained with many of my best friends, started to excel at my college work, recovered fully from injury and fully came to terms with the losses in my past.

    Family Time in 2008
    Went on a "holiday" with my family locally.
    Met up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while and just chilled.

    Sheffield 2008
    The most chilled out, food-packed, educational trip ever.

    Really big days for me have happened when I've been out of work for a while, and have managed to land a good job with lots of potential.

    Other times I really like are when I can get back to nature, with none of the sounds of the city, or even other humans, to intrude. Only natural sights and sounds, I find that very relaxing.

    Other times of course are when a woman I've really been mad for comes home with me.

    I love the invisable things of life too. Like shareing real time.
    Shareing a real nasty time with someone; (not a real victum with a built in excuse,cause thats a waste of both your time,but a fighter whos down and out) and getting emotionally involved in their plight, feel their pain etc so that they experience you on exactly the same level they feel they are at.
    Then eventually walking out the other side of it all with them in tact, has to be the best feeling in the world I wouldnt swap it for all the tea in China.

    I wish I had more oppertunities in life to share real time like that,but the mundane crap takes over for most of it.
    When you realize that something like that has worked out for the best its as if you were in a dream state for that time, Like in the zone, you went in fully awake, stepped into a nightmare where just by being there and sharing their feelings placed a different view on it; the words that come out are not yours its like they are plucked out of the air and divine timing takes over. Everything becomes slowly orderly and more managable, then you awaken to find out it was all very cool. The journey ends but becomes a new starting point for them ;however tough and however long its been going for has made them into a completly different character, a stronger one thats sets their new boundaries up ;against others who would still ride them down. They wont allow those old patterns of thoughts and feelings to ever have that effect over them again. Nothing better than to see a brother or sister throw old chains off and run again.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Good one.

    Another thing I really appreciate are times when I've really felt like I've come to an understanding about the meaning of my life, the secrets of existence are unlocked, and I am at one with the universe. Then after a few hours the drugs start to wear off and none of it makes sense any more.
