My Return
Well it's been sometime since I've posted. In the last 11 months I've been busy with work at TAFE and at the Uni providing administrative support to several departments. I've also been extremely busy with my studies which have been going well. It's difficult to make a steadfast commitment to publish regularly, so I'll attempt to log-in every now and again and write something up that hopefully appears to be interesting to those reading the blog.
Today I would like to discuss the issue of friendship. What people say and what they do, mean a lot to me. Sometimes you can get mixed messages from people, in that they will be nice to your face but say nasty things behind your back, or worse still, publish untruths about you on the Internet. I'm thankfully one of the very few who has encountered this appalling behaviour.
I have now adopted a "one strike and you're out policy". If someone appears to say something totally offensive to hurt my sensibilities, why let them back into my life? This is a mistake I've made with a couple of people in the past, and ultimately it has led to more stress than what it is worth knowing them. They may be apologetic and attempt to win favour, but I've decided to remain steadfast in my opposition to their behaviour, and they are unable to re-enter into any relationship with me.
Moving on:
As it is not my position to appear negative I'd like to discuss the current crop of US TV shows. New episodes of L&O: SVU, Prison Break and Heroes are available to watch. Prison Break hasn't really impressed me this series, in places it appears to be a rehash of Series 1, but only worse - the plot will apparently lead somewhere in the end, I can't see them languishing in SOMA for very much longer. Heroes was more substantial and rewarding but I still believe this show is a heap of hogwash most of the time, yet appealing on an emotional level. L&O:SVU's opening touched upon multiple split personalities and was interesting - it was nice seeing Munch being given extra screen time - for some reason he reminds me of Mr Spock from Star Trek - it must be those ears.
Anyway it's time to venture out into the sunlight with shorts and t-shirt.
