Ah yes. So here we are. Auckland. I can honestly say now that there is not a whole lot of difference as you explore city after city with exception of nationality and a few minor little details. I had to get the heck outta Fiji for a bit. Rainy season there comes with not only rain, but heat heat heat. Man oh man, I think I lost like 10 pounds just sitting around...not to mention a major sunburn....if only I would use that sunscreen stuff....maybe next time eh?
So I find myself in a city that is almost an exact replica of Seattle....or at least the vibe and architecture and climate. Dont mind a moderate climate after the mugginess of Fiji but I dont think I would last long here. The city is clean enough....and the people vibe is great....but the rain. Oie...rain. Need I say more?
The camera is toast for now, so no pictures. The work situation is dismal here at best unless you have the work permit deal which takes 3 weeks longer than I wanna wait for it....so Im off to Aussie on Monday to drum up some sort of under the table cash job....which there are a plenty compared to my present location. I do wish I had a bit more time as the city is definatley not NZ's attraction.....theres alot to it out here....but its just a hop skip and jump away...so there will be time...oh yes...there will be time. Man....so I brought back a couple pounds of Kava....filthy grog....stuff makes me lazy....relaxed, but lazy. Kinda fun...people think im nuts for drinkin the stuff...tastes like muddy watter and when your done, it feels like you just swallowed a bunch of novicane. But ah well...im sure its good for something. I got the good stuff too....the cheap crap they sell to dumb tourists isnt washed good, so when the root is dried it still has a bunch of dirt and mud on it while they pound it into powder so you get a butt ton of garbage diluting the root when you make the grog. I got the good stuff....local buddy helped me procure....its better for you than drinking mud tea....hehe....
I find myself pondering how to follow certain signs. I see signs everywhere. Not only stop and go signs, but direction and path signs....the ones that people on auto pilot never notice. How do I pick the right one? Is it just hit and miss? And what about the choices you could have made but didnt....unfinished questions in your head....how do we work those out? Just let them fizzle out? Or go and see for yourself and let it unfold that way? How to identify a poor choice? Thats a tough one....I dont think there is any wrong decisions out there....maybe just poor choices....or maybe thats just another way of wording a wrong decision....mmmm....soo many lives we can live...so many hats to wear....and only the small amount of undisclosed time we are given to do it all or as much as possible. I wise man once told me that while you can do anything you want, you just can to everything....hope he followed his own advice....good guy, maybe missunderstood by those that knew him best....hope he is still out there going strong.
Well, im gonna head to Aussie on Monday to see about some things....never know what the right decision is....or if the universe will give me what I want....but I do know it will give me what I need....all I have to do is to identify....which presents its own set of obsticles in the mental sense....haha....lets get deep! Just gotta talk my mind.
I think another thing getting my brain all ponderous is the upcoming anniversary of my fathers death. Lost my best friend to the other side. Tough thing to deal with...no matter if your 10 or 50.....age means nothing....only time. Or what we perceve as time....do what makes you happy in the present...after all, reality is supremely focused in the present.
Well, cheers to all. Live live, drink good wine, eat good food, keep good company, and DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ALL THE TIME!!!
Love and respect.
Ian
