Me and My Little Mind – Home Alone

Posted under General by Kimberly on Wednesday 24 June 2009 at 12:56 pm UTC

Just sitting at home, by myself thinking about absolutely nothing in particular. Listening to the radio and occasionally trying to have a conversation with the cat. Which has never worked before but I still do it anyway. I have no idea why, I guess it’s the whole “talking” thing. I guess humans have need to communicate on a regular basis. I’m no psychologist but it sounded good.

Yeah, this is going to be one of those entries about “nothing” hahah.. Maybe it’s just me trying to keep my mind active, I don’t know. Maybe I’m loosing my mind. Maybe I’m just as bored as hell and need someone to interact with. Computers only go so far until the mind resets to the need of actually physically seeing someone and communicating verbally.

I guess I have hit the bottom of the barrel as far as my own thoughts go. Am I feeling lonely? no I don’t think so, the cat is keeping me company haha. well, for her own benefit anyway.

I’ve said it before elsewhere. I guess this is one of the joys of being self employed. The isolation can be rather depressing at times. Yeah, sometimes it’s nice not to have to deal with too many people. Though I think those times are very far and few between.

I’m typing this and I have no real idea of what the hell it is going to sound like to someone else reading it :D Oh well. There’s no real structure to it either. I just had the fleeting thought about going back over it and re-editing things. but I don’t think I’ll bother.

On a side note, The day started pretty good.. It is a lovely day outside, it is a little cool but we have plenty of sun and blue sky. Can’t complain about that on a Winters Day can I. :)

Being home alone with my own little mind sometimes is not that great. Motivation goes out the window after a while, Think I need to make some changes to my daily routine so I’m not staring at the same walls with absolutely nothing going through my mind waiting for the phone to ring. There’s only so much one can take. I guess this “recession” has to end sooner or later. hopefully sooner, mind you if it weren’t for the media would we really be in a recession? Makes you think. If the media didn’t keep telling people to “stop spending, we’re in a recession” would anyone really have noticed. Yeah, a few major businesses have gone under. But what was going on behind the scenes to get them to that state to begin with.

Yeah, I guess anyone who even remotely started reading this has given up. So I’m going to go find some lunch.

 

Hope you’re all having a better day than me. :)

xx

Surely life is not that mundane

Posted under General by Kimberly on Thursday 18 June 2009 at 10:08 am UTC

life I’ve been a bit slack as of late, as far as blogging goes. I guess the “creative juices” just haven’t been flowing. That and the fact life is probably not as adventurous at the moment. :)

Surely life isn’t that mundane at this point in time. I don’t think it is, I’m happy, I’m laughing and I think I’m having fun in general. Maybe it just seems that way. I’ve been pretty busy so maybe that has something to do with it. I’ve been doing a fair amount of work on various websites as of late. Maybe the cold weather has something to do with it, I don’t know. It’s Thursday morning, I’m sitting at the table with my laptop. Trying to keep warm. It’s 1 degree Celsius outside even though the sun is trying to break through the clouds. I don’t think I like winter anymore. yep, winters done with, bring back summer :)

Maybe it comes down to the fact that working for yourself is pretty isolating in general. While I would never change it for the world, I love working for myself. Friends are busy so haven’t seen them for a while. yeah, that could have something to do with it too. My partner is working really odd hours with exam marking and supervising clinics so time with her is at a premium at the moment too.

Now that I’ve started to think about it, No life really isn’t that mundane. It’s just a little little out of the norm compared to what it normally is. I guess I can’t really complain overall. It’s just time to make life fun again and get out and do stuff again. Seems I have fallen into a ditch that I just need to climb out of.

Hmmm, this entry is kind of looking like a blog about “nothing” and probably makes no sense what so ever. But hey, you get that occasionally I guess.

By now whoever is bothering to read this has already given up, so I think I’ll go make myself a nice cup of coffee and get back to doing some work. hmm, seems to be a trend happening here. Work, Eat & Sleep.. Yep, it’s time to just relax and have fun again. But it’ll have to wait until after work.

Have a great day everyone.

xx

Repost: Good Bye Mischief

Posted under General by Kimberly on Tuesday 9 June 2009 at 8:55 pm UTC

A friend recently posted this on a site I am involved with, and with his permission I would like to share it with you all. I was touched when I read this. I never got to say good bye to my cat so I hope this touches others in the same way it did me.

I had to put my old cat Mischief to sleep this morning… I shared her life for 18yrs not sure how old she actually was…
She was a wild cat that adopted me one day and never left…. till now…. good bye old friend.

She arrived in winter
Like a fresh autumn breeze
She was wild and starving
Curious and hopeful
A loving, trusting feline…

She was strong and unflinching
Vivacious and lively
She was radiant…she was youthful
She was ours…

We shared her raptures and sorrows
Her ups and her downs
Her life…

Now it is winter again..
But this time she has to go
Her spirit and essence will always live through
She will eternally remain within…
She will forever feel my love….

Sleep well my old friend

Thanks M109Rider, I really liked this.

Beware of Cage (car) Drivers

Posted under General by Kimberly on Friday 5 June 2009 at 5:14 pm UTC

lane-splitting-751153 I’m so sick and tired of driving around and watching so many idiots in cars, who have no respect for those on motorcycles. I have seen so many near misses and personal family experience of being hit because idiots in their cars just pull out and cut off a motorcycle.

I know from a Cruiser group I am involved with that this is a problem everywhere. Why don’t the ACC start campaigning motorists to watch out for motorcycles. Oh yeah, ACC is in financial strife. But the “Intersection” campaign still seems to be running. So why not one aimed at motorists to watch for motorcycles. I recall a campaign not long ago for cyclists. Which was pretty short lived in it self and I’m sure they have the same problems.

I highly recommend you Watch this Video. It’s a classic case.

Come on New Zealand, Keep our roads safe for everyone. Not just in your own little world.


A real eye opener

Posted under General by Kimberly on Wednesday 3 June 2009 at 1:11 pm UTC

Picture 001 Well, after putting it off for many years. I now have glasses. After going for my motorcycle licence I had to go to the optometrist for a full eye test. Which wasn’t unexpected, I had noticed a few years ago that my eye sight wasn’t as good as it once was.

It is actually very scary just how much I couldn’t see though. Everything is a lot clearer and I can focus on distant things a lot easier. I thought I was going to have a problem with the normal reading / computer work stuff, but even that seems to be a lot easier and comfortable. I know I should’ve had a full eye test a lot earlier. But I kept putting it off. I some how learnt to deal with not being able to focus on distant objects too well. But like I said, it’s scary that I’m that blind. hahaha :D

I highly recommend that if you are having the slightest trouble with focus, to get your eyes tested. It’s amazing just how much more detail I can see since getting glasses. :)


Awesome Weekend

Posted under General by Kimberly on Monday 1 June 2009 at 8:50 pm UTC

4604218 Well, The long weekend is drawing to an end. Had an awesome weekend too. Mum and Dad came down from Auckland on their Suzuki Boulevard C90T.

Got to go out on a ride with dad on Sunday, Just out of Foxton we hit some really high winds, which in turn made it really hard to lean the bike around corner. No matter how hard we tired to lean, the wind just stood us back up. Added a whole new element to the riding experience for me that’s for sure. Leaning a cruiser over while we’re still up right was kind of interesting.

Our cruise south didn’t last as long as I had hoped. It got really bloody cold and my poor toes started to freeze. So we exit staged back through Shannon to Palmy. Had a bit of  a ticky tour around palmy and headed home. Dad asked if I wanted to find an empty carpark to have a go with the C90T, but seeing as it’s a 1500 and reasonably heavy I opted not to take him up on the offer (maybe when I have my Fuil Licence Dad. :) ) Seeing I only have my learners and don’t yet have road experience. I don’t feel comfortable riding dad’s big 1500 yet.. One day

Went and had a quick look at Anza at the Hyosung Aquila GV250. Nice looking piece of machinery, but Anza is over priced compared to other places around NZ for the same bike. Hopefully I can get in some test rides over the next few weeks to see what I like the feel of on the road.

Anyway, I hope everyone had an awesome long weekend. Time to go sit down with my glass of wine and relax. Before the working week starts again. :)
