Goodbye Nima, Welcome Back Ongy

It has recently been a time of mixed emotions. Initially I was sad that a good friend is about to leave Melbourne for work. But this sadness was tempered by the news that another good friend has returned to Melbourne for work. So I guess the net number of friends I have around remains the same hehehe.

Seems everyone I am friends with these last few years has graduated, found work, and moved forward in their lives (myself included). But where is 'forward' for me? What paths are open to me, and what path should I take? Can I have everything I want in life, or do I have to compromise? Can I have my cake and eat it too? Time will tell. For over a year now I have known that I would have to make a decision about whether to stay in Melbourne or go back to NSW. But I have consistently deferred making a decision, using procrastination as a means to distract myself from the difficult decision that faces me. I think about all the people out there less fortunate than me, and chastise myself for thinking I have it so hard because of this decision I have to make. After all I have a roof under my head, people who I care about and who care about me, a stable job, enough money to feed and clothe myself. But suffering, like most things, is relative. I feel as though I am suffering, with a weight on my shoulders that I know how to remove but don't have the strength to actually do it.

Wow

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

You're Beautiful

I got a Macbook a few weeks ago and it is sweet. Good timing as my old PC desktop's hard drive died on me. Well actually it was more like I killed it when I was putting it into an external hard drive enclosure so I could use it on the Macbook. I lost so much important stuff, but luckily most of my photos and music was on another hard drive, and the photos I lost I can recover from other people. I checked out services to recover lost data from broken hard drives, and for hardware faults (as mine most probably is, as it doesn't even spin up), it costs at least $1500, up to $3500 to get the data off it. As important as my lost data may be, I not sure it is worth that much. Worse bit is, I don't even remember exactly what I lost on that hard drive...so can't judge if it is worth it. Anyway, back to Macbook...here's an ode to Mac Pro, but it could easily apply to my Macbook too :)

Heimlich

I just love Postsecret. I've posted about this site before (years ago?), but it's a new year so why not? That is my feeble excuse :) I nearly always find someone's secret that speaks to me, a secret that I ashamedly admit (to myself) to share. This week's update had one that I've definately felt before, though only briefly. Maybe not the Heimlich manoeuvre, but CPR. I'm so evil...



(edit: My desire to perform CPR is so I can perhaps save someone's life and appear a hero if only for a moment. Somebody told me they thought I wished to perform CPR just so I could put my lips on someone else's...so thought I'd clarify :).
