mo fire

J wakes me up @ 2am; "do you smell all that smoke, thats not our wood fire is it?" I check it out, "no-no, its cool; maybe the chimneys smokey and we're catching it back through the window. Happen to look out the office window on my way past, to see that the east end of the empty block next door is completely ablaze.

From there its a montage of images of me calling the fire department, trying to calm my dogs amidst the smoke and getting J & S- bundled into the car and off to J's parents. Then I grabbed a hose and ran it up and down my fence line just in case. The fire trucks rolled up in short order, all local volunteers in the State Emergency Service (S.E.S). So I just stood back and watched them go to work. It took them about an hour to get the blaze totally under control. Meanwhile I tried to shut the house up so that more smoke didn't come in and spent a bit of time calming my dogs. When it looked like the firies had the blaze beat I took off for the in-laws and crashed out on the floor at 4am. Now its 8 & I have to get ready for work.

joy.

Turns out someone burnt out a stolen car on the corner of the road and the flames must have jumped to the block. Fuckers, hope they choke.

no $hit

hey,

DS&H's wedding on Sat; awesome; got choked up during the best man & father of the groom speeches... almost shed a tear; a prodigal son done good! Infinite blessings, live long & prosper.

back in case you don't know; guess thats BP for you; new job; the re-up didn't go down right so i had to split; still related and messed up but hey [shrug] what it do huh?

getting paid but my mind is still f'd; I go through SAMe like lollies and they keep me this side of crazy; i've realised i'm really not suited for my line of work; this analyst cr%p just doesn't do it for me;

oh you say; falling markets got you spooked, huh? not at all; buy up please, the time to pounce is now; hold, and in 2 years this will all be a bad dream; how soon we forget hey? the great depression happened pre-global economy; now a global economic crisis just isn't a reality; it would take nuclear war to cause that, and then it wouldn't matter anyway. governments just need to use this to take some control back before the megacorp's take it all and step back beyond national regulation. noone talks about citigroup in all this, but they must be scooping all the cream: talent, debts, companies, and early Christmas for them

so anyway; i'm over this stuff; maybe i'm watching too much Entourage or listening to too much Adam Carolla (podcast) but this isn't the life for me; it f's w/ my head too much, even when i'm somewhere near sane;

so i'm writing again, the only thing i know i can do come what may. my feet will turn to dry ice during a Perth summer before i lose the ability to string words together. maybe i'll even post here if someone reads this.
