Poking the universe

Sometimes a chain reaction of events happen and you can do nothing but hold on for the ride and hope like hell it doesnt end up in some messy crash.

But to try and get things back on track, my god that is turning out harder than I have imagined, so hear I am poking the universe to take note and give in to my incessant nagging.

Blog....Resurrected

Thats right, decided it was time to start again, for no other reason than recording my own progress.  Now if I can remember the password for my domain and stuff I will be all good.

A bit of colour

Been a while since I went out with the purpose of taking some pictures. So that’s what I did on the weekend, headed out into the Waitakere ranges with the idea of taking some photos of the cliffs. As it turned out it started raining on my way out so was not lending itself to climbing around rocks so much, but I spotted a waterfall from the road, and I guess that rain had helped with getting the falls flowing a bit more.

This particular shot was on the way to the falls, quite a cool little spot which I can imagine would be spectacular in Summer.

Appreciation

Odd thought crossed my mind the other night as I was driving around scenic drive with the Auckland skyline beaming back at me.

As I have gotten older I have gained an appreciation for things. This seems a little backward, but when I was younger things didn’t really amaze me. In a way I took experiences and external influences for granted. And I think I can apply this to just about everything.

Simple things can now amaze and wonder me. Whether this is something Visual, Aural, Emotional I have a greater appreciation for what is required for these things to happen….

I think the is leading to a want to travel, or at least a want to experience more of life. I think it is only just now that I am realizing how much more there is. Took me a while, and I know there are probably a few people who I know who will tell me I shouldve had this awakening 10 years ago, but it would have been wasted on me then.

So next step is to start making some plans, or even just getting some ideas of plans to make.

Soon to be (officially) divorced

So I was going to write a blog post on Friday after this all happened, but I wasnt quite sure how I felt about all this.

Friday was the day me and Kate finally got our divorce officialized at the family court, and in a month we will have paperwork to prove it.  Was actually quite..emotional? I think thats the right word, while we are on great terms it is still hard to know that there was some official end point to it all.

It wasnt until it was all done, that I really felt all of it hit me.  Since then I have had half a dozen people asking me if I am going to marry again.  If you asked me that 6 months ago I would have said of course, but now Im not so sure, I am open to the idea of marriage, but I just cant imagine doing it all again.
