Up until now, I can't say that I've been concerned about writing what I think here. Overall, nothing has changed that concerns me too deeply, but I am more hesitant due to the knowledge that people who I never thought would be reading this, now are.

This site has been up & running for nearly 18 months & although there isn't as many entries as other web sites & there is minimal traffic, I still find it useful to have the odd thought or feeling kept in a place that I can look back on.

Being on the net rather than on paper means that it can't be lost or read by nosey family members. However, instead of being in the secure confines of a hard back diary, the entire planet has access to my thoughts now & from the past. I consider this to be a good thing. My problems & triumphs can be shared with the world & with the friends who I know have found this very page.

I've only had one psycho which has overstepped the boundry & caused me grief. Their comments are testament to their inability to be decent. Thankfully, the entire contents of the web site can be pulled from public view at a moments notice, but I also hope it never comes to that!

On Thursday night a friend from the Golf Club expressed their regret for giving the site details to someone for fear that my past comments may be hurtful. I understand the concern, but at the same time, every entry here was written for a reason & only once have I ever changed a past entry to cover my back & those were exceptional circumstances.

If someone finds an entry that they think relates to themselves, they may be right... but they also may be wrong. Hence the reason for rarely using names. I've caned a few people in the past, but it's normally written in the heat of the moment & may bear no reflection of my thoughts on the same person at this moment.

All that said, I've always been on to hide my feelings for certain people until I know exactly where I stand with that person. It's something that I can't stop myself from doing, I never take risks of the heart. To take the risk could be a success or a spectacular failure!

My current situation relates to all the above thoughts. Hence the reasons I can't bring myself to write what I am thinking. The person involved may not be thinking along the same lines & a declaration would be frought with danger.

I'll leave this entry for now & if circumstances change, I'll write more. Until then, anyone from the Golf Club that wants to have crack at what the hell I've been talking about, please leave a comment or email. I'm sure that from the utter cryptocity of the last nine paragraphs, someone will work it out!

P.S. Is cryptocity a word or am I making shit up again??

The job I left at the Glenelg Golf Club was advertised again in The Advertiser today. Apparently the woman that took the job in the first place discovered she was being replaced after finding the job ad in the photocopier where the General Manager left it.

It's one hell of a way to discover you're getting the arse.

Good help is hard to find.

Most people won't admit it, but I think everyone at some point recollects memories from their school years & wonder what happened to certain people. I was originally informed of the site www.hereiam.com.au, but it looks like it never really took off with membership. However, on one of those Saturday afternoons when bored enough to watch the idiot box, I caught the name of an Australian site called www.schoolfriends.com.au.

It's not like me to actually register on such a site, but I was astounded at how many people I went to school with have registered & left information about where they are & what they are doing in life. There are also quite a few people who I would never had expected as well.

Thankfully a few of my wonderings were answered. Two people imparticular disappeared during my school years. I heard nothing about either of them until finding them on the site.

Arlene was a name that I mentioned on this site a while back (archive). I have had her pop up in thoughts as someone I would like to have known better. She was more talented musically than I knew & really drew my attention towards her. I think she may have been my first crush. That & the fact that she vanished from high school, has always played on my mind.

The other person was Nicola. Even though it's been sixteen years, I can still remember her face. I think the only time I had anything to do with her was when I was being taken to school by my Dad. She was walking along the side of the road, so we gave her a ride. It's all very simple but it sticks in my mind.

I'll keep checking the site in the future to see who else emerges from the shadows!
 

My first entry for 2003!

It really shouldn't have taken this long, but that's the way it is. I've been thinking of ways to update the site for the new year & I keep thinking up good ideas. Actually spending some time to implement them is the challenge.
