The power of one
Listening to Abbey Road by The Beatles, brings alot of childhood memories back, such as the one, where as a 6 or 7 year old, I would put the vinyl version of this album on the old grammarphone, almost always on the side that would eventually play "Here Comes The Sun", wind it up by myself and let it play.
I think that is one the main reasons where music can be so powerful, it can evoke again memories once thought that were forgotten, of places that remind you of people.
As I have before said, my heart goes out to the victims and families of those who died in the Victorian bushfires.
"Its not what you do that says who you are
The way you do it is who you are
As long as the clock keeps ticking, you'll go
wherever the wind blows
As long as there's life worth living, you'll go
Wherever you go" - Goodbye Mickey Finn by Something With Numbers

I'm sorry...
My heart goes out to the victims of the Victoria bushfire.
As some of you may be aware, one of our Australian states has been hit by the worst natural disaster in Australian history. Bushfires have been raging in the state of Victoria for 7 days now and are showing no signs of slowing down for many days.
Millions of native animals as well as sheep, horses, cattle and other farming stock animals have been killed as well as family pets. 181 people are confirmed dead, many caught in the quick moving flames with no warning or notice to evacuate, the flames moved that quickly. The death toll is ecpected to reach at least 300 people, even more, and they expect at least 50 bodies wont be able to be formally identified.
The Australian Red Cross is taking donations to help the survivors get their lives back on track as they start to rebuild their lives, most of the survivors escaped with the clothes they had on their backs and any other posessions they could grab. Currently the Australian public has generously donated over 50 million dollars to these people but more funds are needed to support families from over 1,000 homes that have been burnt to the ground during the past week.
Any donations, big or small can be made online through the following link: http://www.redcross.org.au
For recent updates on the fires or the stories of survirors, fire firghters, resucers or even the animals, head over to http://www.news.com.au
Please, pass this blog onto friends, family, work colleques or even your school or university by posting this information on how you can help on bulletin boards, through emails, MySpace, Facebook or any other site.

I Don't be A footnote in someone else's happiness
One thing that continually amazes me about how much human beings do no know, is other people's experience.
We think we know everything from the internet and what not, but sometimes when I'm thinking about people, and how they see from their point of view.
No matter how hard I try and think, I simply cannot imagine it, it's almost like I'm hitting an imaginary wall. And if I'm thinking about someone I care and know closely, it for some reason increases my respect and admiration for them.
It proves that technology simply does not know everything.
"I'm falling apart at the seems,
Pitching myself in other people's dreams
Now buzz, buzz, buzz..." Disloyal Bunch Of Water Buffaloes by Fall Out Boy

Would it be good enough??
Book nerd alert!
I am currently reading Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenin. It's meant to be considered as one of his classics (as well as War & Peace).
Personally, I could never really get into War & Peace, Tolstoy's style of writing, is often very confusing as there is a lot of names to remember.
Or maybe its just me trying to read so I can say "I've read War & Peace"
Or maybe its because I was too young to appreciate his writing.
But I am really liking Anna Karenin.
Just like I'm like Franz Ferdinands new album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.
"I put my faith in you, so much faith in you
And then you threw it away, you threw it away
I'm not denying
My sorry eyes can see" - For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic by Paramore

Can't take the kids from the fight
Okay, this is a whingy post.
beware.
One thing that bugs me more than anything whilst I am driving - people using the indicators INCORRECTLY.
Indicators are used to INDICATE which way you are moving before moving NOT whilst you are moving.
Guys, please drive properly, otherwise roadrage will occur.
Oh yes, I have my P-plates BUT I'm not like most P-platers. JUST because I have a pendant for driving with loud music, does not make me liable to speeding. I am more inclined to STAY WITHIN the speed limits. So if you see a P-plates, don't immediately judge them.
"Just for the record,

B. Disinterest in what the critics say" London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines by Panic! At The Disco
