Building Flying Ships....

Today i am stuck indoors :(

For those who don't know me, i'm a naturally 'outdoorsy' person. Being stuck indoors is like being in a 3 x 3 cell for me. What to do? I knew the weather was going to be shitty, but didn't plan ahead, well i kiiiind of did, but never got the motivation to go through with those plans >_<

So i spent the day, rummaging round the house looking for things to do, when i stumbled across a new'ish looking casino set! it has the full chips, poker, roullette and evverything! No need to go to burswood anymore! hahaha to test my luck today, i gave myself a $300 'chip' limit, and went away betting on roulette!.... never the less, i lost all my money in the first 10 mins. Damn you RED! how could u not appear 3 times?! Grrrrzzz

but other than that, being a freakishly windy day today, i also found some old balinese 'Ship Kites' and started to build them.... First ship i built i named, "Nautilus 1" and the second "Nautilus 2" Kinda unoriginal i know.


Nautilus 1
arrr me matey, my big ship big and proud... arrrrrh

Nautilus 2
arrrr me mateys, this is me mini ship

Nautilus 1 & 2, the shoes are my size 11 booties just to illustrate the size of my 'fleet'
arrrr a fine fleet we have here, fine indeed... arrrhhhh


They even come with little spinning propellers that spin in the wind! Cute! gosh i'm a geek :P
whats this? a propellor arrrr tis unheard of arggghhhh

Took Nautilus 1 out for a 'spin' wahhh the winds were damn strong i think i crashed it like 7 times! Lucky its a tough bugger, or i'm incredibly lucky to get it back in one piece! But yah, Nautilus 2 is smaller, decided not to take it out cos it'd prolly fall apart.

Anyway, watching and flying those ships reminded me of two things. Last Exile, the first thing, a germaic influenced anime based the concept of flying ships and council run air born world, a totally awesome anime, i thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly (yes i do like it) recomend it, especially if u love the thought of flying like me and are a chronic dreamer like me.

Last Exile copyright GONZO/Pioneer
My favorite anime of all time, i just love it! arrr the infamous Silvania, now theres a flying ship!

And the thought of how simple things like building a kite and flying it can amuse me. It was a good feeling. Laughing to myself, not a care in the world, enjoying myself and nature. Even playing roulette by myself reminded me of how simplistic things can make me happy(such as losing fake money hauhahah).

Be it a couple years ago, i probably would have found these activities 'lame' or stupid. Some people probably still think that it still is. Not that i care what they think. What i care is that i find that i am starting to appreciate and really love life. I find things honestly fun and happy again. It's as if i were breaking out of a shell, a shell protecting me from my real feelings. This shell being built up over the years for one reason or another. Whatever purpose this shell served, is left to the past, but whatever purpose it was, it wasn't making me happy. So now i can say that i can't be more satisfied with the way things are now. Life is so beautiful, if only other people could see how beautiful life is to me as i do right now. ^_^

Guess who? Mr PugU~!

Woot woot! why the 'woot woots'? Hmmm because its a glorious day in our big blue earth today. Well actually 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago. As I HAVE RETURNED, returned, from my one year self exile in woop woop land! None the less, i can blog again! At least i think i can? :P

Why has it taken me so long to blog? Well, lots and lots and lots of shite *pardon ze french* actually. Lets see, there was first the whole concept of actually getting my shite together, which i finally finished doing tonight, bar a few things.

Cleaning my shitey shitey room....

From Duuurrrty to sSPanKiN' clean, Christina Aguilera, try that one for size!

Second lot of shite to do, was to catch up with all my friends i haven't seen in ages... that was very very time and money consuming, especially the latter, when i just have an urge to 'treat' all my very special friends, i'm sucha sweet guy aren't I? hahaha. Cept for one friend who had to 'treat' me, cos i forgot my wallet... 'forgot' lol.... that friend was extraaaa special heheheh.

Thirdly, Avon Decent, i went to as 'support crew' recently, woah! what a blast! looks like fun! definately wanna maybe perhapsly, not suredly go try it next year? Why the uncertainty? because i'm uncertain where i'll be next year! or if i'll still be interested, thus the not so laying down of goal.

Fourthly, getting used to the whole new working in a 'cube' sorta thing. I reckon u'd think i'm going to bitch about work huh? NOPE! hehehe i actually find it fun working in Perth, I have a great boss, even better colleagues, and i'm in the city with all the yummy foods... OoooOOOooo that reminds me, i gained like 4 kg!!!! since i got back :(

My office, my cube, my box, my little hovel, my second home ;)
Think outside of the square? but what if u live in that square?

My instant coffee collection, my sustanence, my boost, my saviour ;)
All hail coffee! woot woot! Taste the flavours of the world...

Works been tough, but plenty of it, which i am glad. It keeps me busy, and the day passes faster, however i do have the greater urge to want to become a uni student, now i have more friends still in unit to party with! BAH! Stupid work. *ooops* i mean good work, but the concept of working i "BAH" at. HAuahha i'd be soo happy though, if work was like uni, get up at 10 go home at 3pm that would be the life! When i'm mega rich, that will be my life! i'll work casual jobs at maccas or something just for fun! lol. Anyway, i'll TRY to blog sooner and faster... but... yahh with this new found 'social' life and all heheheh also a 'gomen nasai' to all my penpals.... don't know if i'll be able to keep up writing to u guys! Laterz bloggerinozz!!
