Usually I am known to dance. Usually I tell people get up and dance in life, get amongst it. Live.
Sometimes though it is important to sit still, and perhaps let everyone, everything move around you and allow yourself to focus on the harmonies, the rhythmic progression playing out inside you. The important thing to remember is to break into that solo, step into the Pippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-827666192002-10-10T10:47:00.000+10:002002-10-10T10:47:10.010+10:00Think about it.

It is so easy in hindsight to determine what we don’t want in life.
I believe that life turns in cycles, we all have to hurt to understand our purpose, we have to laugh to appreciate an experience, we have to feel anger to understand what we want, and find the motivation to achieve happiness, and we have to fear to know that we have inner strength and can Pippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-824393862002-10-03T09:30:00.000+10:002002-10-03T09:30:49.840+10:00Natural Character Transference.
This is a phenomenon I noticed and termed a while ago. I was analyzing how underground culture can happen so quickly, yet huge marketing campaigns with millions of dollars behind them can fail miserably.
Think about this on a micro-level though. Our day-to-day dealings with people in our lives.

This Saturday I will be collecting my brand new, all adventure, fast and loose, custom surfboard. The dimensions were discussed with two friends over a beer as we watched the waves roll into Merewether Beach and I think I've found my perfection.
Fingers crossed for barrels on Saturday afternoon. Sun, barrels, thoughts of friends, and the warm pacific.

Saturday afternoons have become the best time of the week for me. Saturday afternoon is spent with my friends, on my sunny balcony. We look down upon the main street of Glebe, Sydney, Australia and share laughs, tunes, cold beers, fruity vodka punch, fro mage, red wine and each other’s fine conversation.
In the afternoon sun, we theorize about the world, where it Pippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-822863362002-09-30T09:05:00.000+10:002002-09-30T09:10:37.000+10:00Wasting Time.
Lately, I’ve been noticing a lot of people I know waste time. This isn’t such a bad thing. We are living life and in most parts of it we are happy.
The question is, if you knew how much time you had left – Would you still be doing the same thing, or would you strive for something different?

What a ride of hell I have been on for the past six months. I think I’ve felt every emotion a person could imagine, seen sides of myself I never expected to see, learnt a whole lot more about myself and it is fantastic…
My demon was to complicate feelings, compound experiences or just make mountains out of molehills. It is all a matter of getting back to basics, simplifying, and Pippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-820653132002-09-25T08:53:00.000+10:002002-09-25T09:09:36.000+10:00Happy.
In today’s society it seems that people need to try to be happy. This amazes me. It seems people are always talking about how hard they have it, how hard things were, how hard things are going to be or how it is a struggle to say something positive.
Honestly people, the only person that can make you happy is you! The reason why you are unhappy today is because of you. Don't tryPippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-820178462002-09-24T09:59:00.000+10:002002-09-24T09:59:21.543+10:00What are you going to do now? Dance.
My sister, who is also my best friend, works in one of the most stressful professions around. She works as a Trauma nurse in Accident Emergency. She witnesses things that most people have nightmares about.
The hospital where she works covers some of the scummiest parts of Sydney. Drug addicts, domestic violence, murders…everything most of society Pippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-820159632002-09-24T09:13:00.000+10:002002-09-24T09:13:48.040+10:00Trust.
Once you break a persons trust, do you ever get it back? Once a person has broken your trust how many chances do you give them to earn it back?
Lately, I have been thinking about this question a lot. How many chances does a person get?
Take for example,

I’m guessing most of us have seen Trainspotting and understand the concept of choosing life.
What is choosing life really all about, though?
Good question you ask, unfortunately I don’t have the answer. Understanding your life isn’t something anyone else can explain to you. To me, choosing life is about finding your passion, and living it.

After 28 years on this earth, I have one regret. It probably doesn't seem such a big regret, however, to me it is something that eats away at me everyday, makes me sleepless, forlorn, a little crazy and empty.
The regret.

We choose our friends, right? Friends aren’t like sisters, brothers or parents – we don’t just have them. Friends are people we relate to, share common goals with & admire.
Or are they?
It astounds me at times how many people are willing to invest valuable time in a friendship that is one-sided, superficial and perhaps even destructive.

Now when it comes to trust and trusting people I am probably the expert. I think I have broken more trust than anyone else I know. I have lied and told half truths and hidden things from those that love me and those that trust me.
So maybe that is why I look at things now and trust no one.

Dreams are what you make, so find your passion in life, and excel.
Inside of each of us there is a dream. You might not be sure what this dream is at the moment, but let me assure you – one day it will find you.
If you like to run, why not challenge yourself to run a marathon? If you like to surf, why not plan a trip to surf Brazil?

Ever look back, even a few months and think, that was the best time of my life? Then look at your life now and think. It couldn't really get much worse.

Do you really want to be needy for the rest of your life? I sure don’t.
There is an entire world available to us out there. A world full of people, buildings, music, culture, food, cars, bridges and birds – so why dwell in a sad existence, believing that your problems are so great you will never find success.
My advice to you, is find your own success. Don’t envy what others Pippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190720.post-773631522002-06-05T15:17:00.000+10:002002-06-05T15:17:42.150+10:00I hate f&*king Skanks
Why do skanks always want the guy you want, and always end up getting him?
Is it because they promise something amazing, they have an alluring aroma, they are excellent in the sack or….?
