Things of Late


I figured it would be a good idea just to have a post about what I’ve been doing lately and some cool links to cool stuff.
Good news is I’m heading back to Sydney from the 9th-14th of February for the wedding of my good friend Kyle, and his lovely fiancĂ© Jane. I’m really looking forward to seeing some friends again. I’ve really been feeling the isolation in Ballarat, even with the assistance of some very good people (Snitch and Netna <3 )
My dear wife is in the same boat, but has work commitments, and an interruption at such a time she feels wouldn’t serve her well. She’s working really hard. I’m very proud of her.
I’ve been getting super fit, and have been trying to really push myself physically. I feel great, but I need to learn to slow down a little. The intensity is taking its toll. I’m enjoying it though, as I’ve never really been one to own my own fitness. Also it saves me from the boredom. I have too much spare time and not enough discipline to use it well. It hasn’t been all bad but I’m looking forward to finding some work and beginning university. I have orientation next week.

Pumped for FutureMusic! Skrillex, Knife party, Fatboyslim....the list goes on.

A few interesting things I’ve stumbled across lately:

This talk got me thinking about the effect of the mind on the body, naturalism, and identity and all things related. I particularly liked the way he talked about observation. I’m always for the scientific method, but for things that are difficult to quantify there always needs to be an open mind. Things exist whether we’re capable of measuring them or not. Bit weird but lots of thoughts on this one.

This article just validated many of my suspicions regarding the medical system. It’s broken, and there is so much room for improvement. Exciting for people like my wife though, as there’s a lot of room for her to bring initiative.

I’d recommend checking out the latest by song writer/singer  Sarah Mclennen:
She’s off to New York to get famous.

Interesting personal documentary about people with Intersex conditions.

Oldie but a goodie.
