My Last Night In The Most Isolated City on Earth

Here to my last night in this isolated city of Perth as I am about to embark on my greatest adventure yet, my 2nd ever trip to America. I leave this isolated little desert outpost tomorrow night at 11:45pm for the "midnight horror" the overnight flight to Sydney. I won't sleep that night cos I cannot sleep on transportation - car, bus, train, plane, ET scout craft, mother ship,.... I arrive Sydney at about 6am, then leave again at about 10am for the long flight over the Pacific to LA arriving 6:30am local time, still on May 11 due to the quirk of flying across the International Date Line. Hello Dr Who!!!!! Then the final leg to Hawaii, the flight departing LA at 8:40am arriving Kahului on Maui Island in Hawaii at 11:30am local time on May 11 beginning my 5 days in Hawaii where I be exploring beaches and volcanoes and everything inbetween!!!!

Things has been very hectic since last weekend's Margaret River retreat, tying up loose ends, starting to pack my luggage, and making sure I have everything!! Those airline luggage weight limits are the nemesis of Virgos who likes to be prepared for anything and so usually pack more than one needs!!! We Virgos are so fussy!!! I always go over the weight limit and so have to decide what to leave behind when I know I NEED everything that I want to take!!!! Had the same problem on my New Zealand trip!!! But for New Zealand we were allowed only one checked luggage, but here for my America trip the airline allows TWO checked luggage, and I STILL have the problem of over-packing and having to decide what to leave behind to avoid the over-weight charges!!!

Last Wednesday was my last ecstatic session with Dance Mandala, I once again I met up with Juditka at her place and we went together to the Dance - probably as close as I will ever get to a dance date with someone!!!! While in America I will look up for ecstatic dance sessions at the places I be staying at, there is sure to be some I will be able to attend. Ecstatic dancing in America will be one awesome experience indeed!!!!

Also bringing some of my art supplies to America with me. The Margaret River retreat have massively re-awakened my creative abilities, with drawing and painting. Seems like to follow in my wife's footsteps who was an artist and very good at it. I have my own weird style of artwork, very much based on Taygeta.

And then the tribal music, I have found my love for tribal music and will see if I can find myself a tribal instrument while in America, especially given my past-life links to Native Americans. So yes here is an artist at work here!!!! Haaaaaa....... well I AM an 8D soul from Taygeta so it must be expected that I am such a creative soul, we Pleiadeans are very creative creatures even if it manifests in weird ways.

It seems so surreal that I am actually leaving for America tomorrow night, it still haven't sunk in even with my luggage around still in the process of packing, my e-ticket, and all these other travel items that one needs...... Tomorrow will start of "normal" enough, still going to work, it be my last day at work..... then come home, have my last meal at home though I probably won't eat much cos I will probably eat enough on the airlines, they tend to feed you well on these international flights...... then do my very anxious final check to see if I have everything. We Virgos are very anxious creatures, and we afraid that we would forget something. So have to deal with that!!!!! Then be at the airport by 8pm for checkin by 8:30pm, then just waiting around the departure lounges, boarding the plane sometimes after 11pm..... and the departure set for 11:45pm...... goodbye Perth!!!!!!!

Meanwhile the disaster area that is the football...... yes my rule to never pick the Maggies serves me well...... oh yes will still be doing my tipping while in America, oh the wonders of free wi-fi at the motels I am staying at, free wi fi is standard, nearly all of them has it.... so yes be very much online.....

And last weekend's results..... 6 and 7 correct picks, still pretty good even if my ranking did drop a little but not catastrophic.... 13th spot in the office comp, and 372/994 in the Union comp which is top 37%...... Next week it be Maggies against Brisbane, more of an even match cos they're both doing crap! haaaaa...... probably one of our best chances of a win, so may pick the Maggies in one of my competitions, and Brisbane in the other..... so maybe pick the same teams in the other matches but alternate between Maggies and Brisbane in my two comps. Being at the Gabba it probably be slight advantage to Brisbane though it depends on the day.........

Anyway...... see ya in Hawaii..... hehehe.........

Weirdness alert.... I have actually thought about this possibility, among others..... more like a very imaginative ET!!!! hehehe!!!!.....

More likely what would happen at my house ;) ;) ;)

Must always seek to improve rather than be content on yesterday's achievements......

Meanwhile in the not very distant future.......... unless drastic changes happens.......

One Week To Go.....

This time in exactly a week from now I will be just about to leave the house and going to the airport to begin the greatest adventure of my current life..... to be at the airport by 8:30pm next Tuesday night to take the 11:45pm flight to Sydney on my first leg to America......

Meanwhile just completed another great adventure, the Margaret River retreat for artists, and I must say I surprise myself in regards to creativity and artwork. I always known I am a creative soul, but when we have professional artists liking my artwork, that is a surprise. It's unusual for a Virgo to be an artist, we are analytical creatures and perfectionists, while being an artist is more intuitive. Must be that Pisces Ascendant in my natal chart.

Like most things in my life, the Margaret River trip came about quickly..... there's a bit of a story to this.....

I have been attending at least three different sessions of ecstatic dancing, three different groups facilitating ecstatic dancing. Each group is different, and each dance session is different. One of them is Dance Mandala, nestled up in the hills and is the smallest group therefore the most intimate. And I am the only guy at that group, usually up to five other ladies. There are plenty of guys at the other two groups. I must say I don't mind being the only guy at Dance Mandala, the ladies are absolute goddesses.

Juditka is the facilitator at Dance Mandala, and for some reason she likes me, and so we became really good friends. Just friendship, no romance, she already has a partner, he just never comes along to the dance. So no thought of romance, I am through with all of that shit, but Juditka and I are certainly very good friends. And it happens that Juditka lives not far from me, in Morley, so we now go together to the dance session up in the hills at Kalamunda. Me the fiercely independent Virgo who likes to be independent and make my own way to places and not depend on anyone, but am quite happy to meet Juditka at her place, and I go with her in her car to the dance.

Then she invited me to the Margaret River retreat for creative souls, so I accepted her invite, and so just came back from the 4-day retreat. Again Juditka and I drove down together on the road trip to Margaret River, this time I did the driving and it was in my car. During the road trip Juditka shared some amazing stories of her experiences which is even more weird than mine and that is saying something!!!! She is also from the Pleiades. I guess that is why we became such good friends. And it turned out I was the only guy at the retreat, with 8 females.... so I say, the 8 goddesses and me.

On the first day of the retreat we went walking through the karri forests with an artist who create artworks just from the natural materials of the landscape, such as leaves, branches, rocks, or whatever else nature provides. She is quite famous for it in the region and have created such natural artforms around Australia. So as part of our walk, we were given the task of creating our own artforms using whatever materials we can find. This was quite scary for me, being a Virgo who is perfectionist, I at first wasn't sure what to do...... but I figured, well lets just dig around and see what I come up with...... and it eventually came up with this.......

Me being a Virgo, very self critical, I didn't think much of my own creation above and thought everyone's else were better. But I was shocked, everyone else including the artist were very impressed and even took photos of it. There is a simple message in this artwork, that is, we are all one and we came from the one source even though there are different colors.

At the retreat we did various activities, and various drama items which kinda reminded me back in my childhood when I attended drama school for a while. We also went on two other walks.

And then a painting session where again I surprised myself with more glowing reviews of my artwork....... these are some of my works below.....

This was a most memorable retreat in more ways than one, and it has inspired my creative soul, following in the footsteps of my wife who herself was an artist. I guess it is true, that I am a creative soul. There at the place where we stayed, there were inspirational sayings on the walls all around. And at the end of the retreat we were invited to take the saying that most inspires us, so I took this one below being very appropriate for a Virgo !!!!!!

Now with just a week to go...... tying up loose ends and getting ready for my trip to America......

Oh yes another fairly good week in the football tipping, scoring 5 and 6 in my competitions, still up there near the top..... 8th spot in the office competition. My rule of never picking the Maggies is serving me well, I never pick them cos the Maggies winning is like rain in Perth, it never happens!!!!!

Last but not least I was at the Cardiologist yesterday, and am a perfect picture of health, he was quite amazed at my progress. My blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, liver function, etc, are all near perfect. It's as if I never had a heart attack!! I am probably healthier now than I was before the heart attack, and my weight has gone from a high of nearly 90kgs when my wife died, it was down to about 76kgs at the time of the heart attack, and now down to about 65kgs. It's what happens when on a vegetarian diet with walks, bicycle rides and ecstatic dancing.

Now the count down before I fly out from this isolated little city..........

Blessed Be !!!!!!

Bush walking with the goddesses.........
