It beat me for six months or so

uncategorized

That’s how long I think I’ve been seriously ill for.
It coincides with my wife getting a new job and the whole global financial crisis (GFC). I had to retrench a staff member and that was when I started to feel the work and court case pressures building.
I had been on an anti-depressant for a several [...]

Plans

uncategorized

I’ve won my case and now I wait the next 30-60 days until the fees are settled and the money is finally handed over.
This means I have a lot of time to think of what I want to do with my life, immediately and longer term.
On 26/11/2009 I got a second chance, won a lawsuit [...]

The end. The start.

uncategorized

I’m with Baz on using lyrics to express too much 5hite. This is the best use of music in any movie I’ve heard (Apocalypse Now). Hard, hard lyrics turn to that shroom love, and again
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that [...]

What’s coming up and my shell of a plan

personal

Languishing is over.
I’ve had a crappy past six months but, I’m so keen to move on, it’s dangerous.
I’ve a few choices ahead for me, various medium to long term goals. Most of these really need extrapolation as I had planned to do this with Taryn (ex-wife), all though that works in my favour
Can’t [...]

Why did you change colour from black to blonde?

uncategorized

I just *had* to do something to mark what I was going through. I’ve always wanted blonde hair and here’s stunning shot of it.

I was going to symbolically close that chapter and move on.
I (vainly) think it looks all right.
Here’s another shot, no apparent for or against…

Still getting used to being blond. Goes with [...]

What’s eventuated so far

personal

Man heaps has changed.
I won my civil lawsuit in a mediation (similar to a court).
But it Cost me Tarries.
A separation has many meanings, I need the right definition so I’m confusing the appropriate government department later today.You’ll excuse my silence as one of the ways I’m coping now.
On the upside I may get dollars from [...]

Forgiving the Church: a lesson in humility

analysis

The Catholic Church as apologised for the abuse committed against me

I wasn’t expecting an apology but, I am grateful for the gesture.
I sincerely accepted their apology. I have hated everything to do with the Church for a long time now — twenty years in fact. A 20 year chip on your shoulder is not easy [...]

Staying positive, despite setbacks, despite divorce

analysis

I’ve been quiet for a while readers. Dropped that who ’separation’ thing on you and haven’t followed-up until now.
Couple of reasons:

We had to be certain that this is what we both wanted
We had to work out how it would work (terrible sentence that one ~ Ed.)
Consultation with friends, family and professionals all ensued

After all of [...]

Tougher than we thought

personal

Terrible week so far…
My partner of three years, and wife of two, is entertaining a temporary separation. This good in may ways.
As I have been terrible to live with for a few years… That’s tiring. Taryn’s tired.
Not sure if we go the whole moving houses thing (that’s expensive and I don’t pack houses). Maybe a [...]
