Ok - I promised someone very special  (and perfect! ) that the next time i was down the local beach i would take a few shots to show her what my home City is like…

The Beach is about a 15 minute drive from where i live and is called City Beach -Take a guess why that is?? )

A friend and i bought some Fish and Chips (an english ‘delicacy’ that has survived the transfer to this side of the Equator quite nicely) and ate it out of it’s paper wrapping, sitting in our car, watching the Sun go down over the Indian Ocean, and watching all the beautiful and not so beautiful people enjoy the end of a simply perfect day in True ‘Aussie’ style.

It simply does NOT get much better than this…

Beach 1

Beach 2

Beach 3

I tried posting this a time back and had ‘problems’ Hopefully they are ‘resolved’ mostly now…

If you are having yet another birthday ( or knows someone who are maybe this will brighten your day and theirs a little more??

Ok - go to In Worships website (on my blogroll on left <=====) and see it there if you will.

My papa told me to stay out of trouble

when youve found your man, make sure hes for real!.

Ive learned that nothing really lasts forever

I sleep with the scars I wear that wont heal 

they wont heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love 

 crash! boom! bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall

crash! boom! bang!

thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same.

I’m walking down this empty road to nowhere

I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.

My mama told me not to mess with sorrow

 but I always did, and lord, I still do

Im still breaking the rules

 I kick it up, I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love

 crash! boom! bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall

crash! boom! bang!

thats my real middle-name

it has always been the same

thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat (slowly fallin from the sky)

 and the taste of the kissing

shattered by rain (comin tumblin from behind)

and the wild holy war.

(I kick it up, I kick it down)

and every time I seem to fall in love

crash! boom! bang!

I find the roses dying on the floor

crash! boom! bang!

thats the call, thats the game and the play stays the same

thats my real middle-name

it has always been the same.

Oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh

been the same, been the same

it has always been the same.

Roxette - Crash Boom Bang! Album

Every time i listen to this Album - Roxette: Don’t Bore Us - Get to the Chorus!-  i just fall in love with it all over again.. These two (Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle  - Sweed-ish dontcha know? ;-)  ) are just Perfect together - they KNOW REAL LOVE! - And I should know!

18 songs on this ‘best of’ collection - you do the Math! Their TWO number One Hits were ‘The Look’ (Number 3 on the tracklist) and ‘It Must Have Been Love’ (Number 7 track!). Track number One was not ‘well known’ to all - “June Afternoon”!

Every song contains Him - and the Heartbreak that falling out of Love can bring to us, His Children on this planet.

The music and harmonies are magical, spiritual and just SING to your heart - and beyond.

You could do a LOT worse than listen to this.

Water Of Love - Dire Straits 

High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
I need a little water of love.

I’ve been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain’t no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It’ll carry that water of love to me

There’s a bird in a tree sitting so high
Just a-waiting for me to die
If I don’t get some water soon
I’ll be dead and gone in the afternoon

Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain’t no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It’ll carry that water of love to me

Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits - 1978??

SOLID ROCK!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_0Mf9YcyA

AUSSIE ! ROCK! (Uluru!) (93 = 12!)

 Solid Rock - Goanna

Out here nothin’ changes, not in a hurry anyway
You feel the endlessness with the comin’ of the light o’ day
We’re talkin’ about a chosen place
You wouldn’t sell it in a marketplace, well
Well just a minute now

Standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowin’ down the line
Right down the line

Round about the dawn o’ time, When dreamin’ all began
A croud o’ people came
Well they were looking for their promised land
Were running from the heart of darkness
Searching for the heart o’ light
Well it was their paradise

But they were standin’ on - solid rock
Standing o-on sacred grou-ound
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change were blowing cold that night
Oh

They were standin’ on the shore one day, Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn’t long before they felt the sting, white man, white law, white gun
Don’t tell me that it’s justified, ’cause somewhere, someone lied
Yeah well someone lied, someone lied, genocide
Well someone lied, oh, ahh

And now you’re standing on - solid rock
Standing o-on a sacred grou-ound
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowin’ down the li-ine

Solid rock, Standing on sacred ground
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock, Standing o-on sacred grou-ound
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Oh-oh-oh no, NO-O

OK - late change of plans these - things happen to us all no doubt

 Anyone out there like MUSIC??

 I’ll take that as a yes.

Anyone out there like Mathmatics??

I hear crickets chirping??

I know Someone besides my self does!

Don’t panic - this will be REALLY simple stuff - Child’s play in fact. We all liked to play as Children huh? (Well, i liked to ‘play with numbers’)

Next time someone ‘Tag’s me (You’ve had one turn Chris!!!) one of my ‘random facts’ will be that from around the age of 9 i started counting at night as i went to sleep… The aim was to count to a MILLION - in one’s…1,2,3,4,5…

I had a sheet of paper by my bed and would keep ’score’ in thousands! I don’t recall exactly how long it took but i would count between one and five Thousand a night. I would ‘mouth’ each number,  but either silently or in a very quiet voice. I got to be able to ‘count’ rather fast and could ‘rattle off’ one to twenty in something like 2-3 seconds.

I did eventually reach one million but it was not until my parents had emigrated from the UK to Aus and it was easily six months or more after i arrived here having started some 12 months before.

I did not count EVERY night! What do you think i am - some kind of obsessed nutcase, or something?? ;-) 

 Now i KNOW i had a perfectly good reason for starting this at the time - it just escapes me for the moment. It may have had something to do with my early fascination for Astonomy (and Dinosaurs! ) because both of these two subjects refer to ‘millions’ a fair bit (galaxies Millions of light years away from Earth and periods more than 65 million years ago, when science says the dinosaurs were almost completely wiped out by sudden extreme Global Climate Change!)

I just wanted to get a ‘feel’ for exactly how BIG a million was - and i did just that - trust me - when you hear the word.. ‘million’? you don’t really appreciate it for what it actually IS - it is a LOT - you will trust me on that, won’t you? Try it yourself and just see to make sure i am not lying here!

 Back to the music…  (and maths)

Anyone who reads their Bible (or is aware of their world about them) will understand that Seven is a Perfect Number!

You do all know this - right?

Simple math - VERY simple math - GOD math - the Binary System??  Only 1’s and 0’s?

We start with nothing 0 - where ‘it’ all begins from (binary numbers/counting i am talking here - don’t read MORE into that than you should! - ok? )

Then we go UP to One - 1 - complete and perfect - fulFILLED. (read into that what you like! )

 Next is two which God writes 10 (one zero not ‘ten’  - second ‘generation’ - one down from ‘Parent’ - 1)

Next comes three which God writes as 11 (one one not eleven - try to forget what you learned at school - God was not your teacher there, for most things, man was, and he is not the most ‘reliable source’, for some things! ). This fulFILLS the second ‘generation’.

Next comes four or 100 (one zero zero), start of third generation…

Five is 101 (one zero one); six 110, and finally, to complete and fulFILL the third generation is 111, one one one.

 0

1

1 1

1 1 1

Perfect!

What about the MU-SIC!??

Well - here’s the REALLY Freaky part…

I Just said that to get you to pay attention! Who would want to read a post all about the Number Seven? and me and my weird childhood ‘ways’??

Oh - some more examples of Perfection in Seven (completeness)…

7 ‘Whole’ notes in Music (A - G)

7 Colours in the Rainbow/Spectrum of light (R,O,Y,G,B,I,V)

7 Known planets (back in the Time the Holy Bible was written.

7 Chakra’s in the human body ( i just threw that in there so the eastern philosphies.religions would not feel left out!)

7 Wonders of the World.

7 Days in a week ( ok - music reverence or reference, Whatever!) The Beatles said there were 8 days a week  -the Beatles were about the best musicians ( in terms of outright popularity and fame) known to man. They Knew a Thing or Three - more on that ‘later’)

And…?

 # 7 ? ( Hi Tam !)

 How many letters in ‘Perfect’??

 Just a coincidence??

You know there are more ‘Sevens’ out there in the World.. what are your personal Favourites?

With Friends like mine - who needs enemies ( No! - Really? Who NEEDS enemies??) (Think about it carefully people, the answer is NOT immediately obvious)

One who shall remain forever nameless (THANKS Chris! - Sharp Iron) has ‘tagged’ me and i stupidly agree to play before i knew the rules.

Here are the Rules of Tag:

Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.

Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.

Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

a) I am an only child (of Dad’s second marriage - i have three step-siblings) This fact is a little ‘random’ but not all that weird. It is a fact that i quite like!  and am truly begining to appreciate recently);

2) I won a church sponsored ‘Knowledge of the Bible’ contest at the age of 7 or 8. That was one of the very few times any Major Religion or ‘organised/recognised’ church gave me anything for ‘free’ (it was a certificate) and I ‘avoided’ the Bible in favour of a good university larned edumacation for about the next 22 years or so when i began ‘dabbling’ a little in it for personal ‘interest’.

c) I attended a free “Revelation Seminar’ by the Seventh-Day Adventist ‘church’ shortly after i began ‘dabbling’ again. I scored a free bible (with great dictionary and concordance) and a free book ‘Daniel and the Revelation’. Since you don’t get anything for nothing i donated me a donation once i had completed the seven week course).

4)  Around this time love reared its ugly head and i felt myself the luckiest man on Earth to love and be loved by what i believed (since childhood days) to be my ideal of a true  ’goddess’. She was Roman Catholic (practicing) and recently divorced and a beautiful blond and an older ‘experienced’ woman - i thought all my Christmas’s had come at once. I moved heaven and earth to ‘overcome’ numerous mountains that were in the way of our marriage in a church and after much opposition (by ‘authorites’ secular and rligious and much sneaky work against them by myself) we set a date and made ALL arrangements for our impending matrimony (my second, her second - nice balance). She was attempting to ‘change me’ in many ways - some of which i went along with out of love (and perhaps a certain ‘fear’ of losing her).

 e) Three weeks before the wedding my wife-to-be’s darling only child daughter ( from hell!) finally pushed her desire for total control over the ‘edge’.. She attacked her mother Physically (she was 13 at the time and this was by no means the first such attempt but was the first since i had been on the scene) and almost scratched my Fiancee’s eye out leaving a one inch scar under her eye. When i saw what she had done and saw the look of sorrow in my F’s eyes because she thought the scar would show everyone on her wedding day what had happened i just lost it. The Daughter hid and tried locking herself in the toilet - i smashed the door it off it’s hinges! I told her to apologise to her mother. The look of pure venom in her eye ( she’s 13 folks!) as she spat the single word NO! back at me did not help my rage any. I slapped her legs “Apologise!” - NO! This happened 3 times (this was the early 90’s in Aus - you could still discipline your children and not be thrown in jail for using ‘force’ back then, fortunately for me! Hey, i am not proud of this episode but i was definitely ‘only human’ at this point in time.) I called the police myself and said if they did not get here fast there might very well be a case of child homicide. This girl had previously that night tried to attack me with a fork  (i am twice her size) and i was almost ready to kill her, and hence the call to 000. The police came and so did her father and he took her for a time.

6) A short time afterwards, my F’s mother, who had liked me in the beginning and compared me favourably with Prince Charles??? (She was old school and admired Royalty) accused me of wanting to marry this woman (her daughter) for money and not for Love. I asked F’s thoughts on this and asked her to set her mother ’straight’. She was not able to do this (respect your mother and all) and i said if you thought like your mother thinks - the wedding (due in 3 weeks) is OFF! - could you please tell your mother her belief is untrue? She couldn’t so i called the wedding off then and there.  We remained friends for a time but it was never going to be ‘comfortable’ and we agreed it was best i move out and a couple of months later we had no other contact. Apart from just once. I had again found ‘love’ and went back to see if bridges burnt could be ‘restored’. We chatted quietly and had both changed a lot and i realised i had had a ‘lucky’ escape. Burned bridges (in this case) were never restored - her choice.

G)  I have found True Love - at Last!    <3   <3   <3

A Great Man and a good friend (imagine both being in the one body - wow!) posted this on his blog (see here) and i thought it could bear repeating over here so it is with honour i introduce you …this!:

Just WHO’s Universe IS this anyway?

Whoever ‘own’s it get’s to establish the rules that apply to it - ‘this is my Father’s House’ - i have to play by His rules until i can build my own….

What ‘rules’ would/will/have we put ‘in place’ and in stone????

In ‘our’ Universe’s and can anyone else live solely by them, in them?

What would be the minimum set of such rules we All could abide and live by???

Ok - Another way of saying a bit of what i’m TRYING, so poorly it seems, to make ‘clear’ here (and about Me)…

Robert Frost (US Poet 1874 - 1963) Wrote ‘The Road Not Taken’, which in part, declares about a person’s ‘journey’ the following:

 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Which road would you choose? The clear, well-worn one of so many others?

Or the dark,creepy,spooky looking one with the ‘Keep Out’ sign, Skull and Bones, where Angels have clearly, dared not to tread?

The High Road or the low one?

This was in part the inspiration for M Scott Pecks work, ‘The Road Less Travelled’ and for anyone who still is unclear of where i am coming from this MAY give you another way of looking at it, me, and a whole lot else besides…

I recommmend you read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Scott_Peck#The_Road_Less_Traveled

Then ask any questions you feel necessary for clarification.

Some can’t see the Wood for the Trees … or the Beams.

WE all have our own roads to travel. I’ve already walked three or four myself
