A Rare Rainy Night

Tonight is a rare event in Perth - rainy night!! I don't ever watch TV, I  usually listen to my weird star seeds vids online or music, but tonight am just listening to the soothing rhythmic sound of the rain.

Looks like my Mt Shasta Tourmaline Wand and sage stick are working wonders against the curse of Tammuz. Last Friday was the day the Babylonians breached the walls of Jerusalem leading to the destruction of the first Temple, and usually a day of calamities. But instead I received my tax refund into my bank account on that day, just a week after I submitted my taxes online. This allowed me to pay off a large portion of the debt from the Telstra roaming rort.

Then later that day I received more money, very unexpected. It's not from anyone I know personally though I am familiar with the source, but had no inkling whatsoever I would be getting any money though I did have a feeling that "something is in the air". Truth is however, I didn't even ask for it. I don't ask for money, I am not on any "Go Fund Me" websites, nor anything else like that. I just set my intentions, work towards my goals, put it out there in the universe, and the universe responds. So now am able to pay off the rest of the Telstra debt and now have ample funds for my Glastonbury trip.

So now I am setting savings goals for 2017. I will be going on more trips next year to more mystical spots, vortexes, etc, on this planet. I am not yet sure where I will be going, the universe will reveal to me in due time. But it is my calling to perform my energy works at the energy vortexes on this planet, usually the sites of ancient monuments or indigenous sacred sites.

My Mt Shasta Tourmaline Wand and sage stick will shortly be put to the test as the dreaded "The Three Weeks" begins next Saturday, when the Romans lay siege of Jerusalem before the destruction of the 2nd Temple in AD70, on Tisha B'Av which falls August 13 this year - the end of The Three Weeks.

Likely issues during The Three Weeks. .....

My bicycle, usually a target of the curse of The Three Weeks. In past years I'd suffer problems with the gears, wheels, getting a flat despite the special thorn resistant tires and puncture resistant tubes!!!

My car, the thermostat. So far the thermostat has behaved itself, but the RAC guy who temporarily fixed it did say it's just a matter of time before it fails again. Also the cooling system needs a flush.

My car brake light. The right brake light not working. So far my " cloaking device" seems to be working as I hadn't had any coppers following me. If I get pulled over by the coppers there will likely be a yellow sticker - work order - slapped on which is likely to lead to more expensive issues.

My lease. My landlord said he will talk to me about "what is going to happen" after repairs to the front porch is completed. Work on replacing the roof is due to commence shortly, probably during The Three Weeks. Two possibilities. He could say he intends selling the house which will mean I would have to move out. Or he will offer me a new lease but will put up the rent, which also will mean I will have to move out. I need to save my pennies for my 2017 trips, and the housing crisis is over so there are now cheaper rents for apartments. It's probably about time I move out, it will be cheaper in an apartment on all counts, cheaper utilities, etc. But as is often said, no time is a good time to move out, especially for Virgos.

My health. This time last year during The Three Weeks was when I suffered my very unexpected heart attack. Now my numbers are a lot better. My blood pressure is almost perfect. My cholesterol is way down, not bad coming from a family where high cholesterol is genetic at least on Mother's side. And I lost about 10kg weight since this time last year. So not expecting any issues to arise, but then last year I wasn't expecting to get a heart attack.

My job. With the govt always looking to save money, there is likely to be some changes in the workplace affecting me  - as often happens during The Three Weeks.

So if I can survive The Three Weeks unscathed, well my Mt Shasta Tourmaline Wand and sage stick will have passed the test.....

Watch this space...... as always

All of my America trip pixs are now finished uploaded to my America Trip page on Facebook. I will shortly make a Glastonbury Trip page, I will announce it here when I've done it, likely near end of August  - after The Three Weeks.

The Curse of Tammuz

We are now into the lunar month of Tammuz,  and the dreaded The Three Weeks begins 17 Tammuz which this year falls on 23 July. And with things already happening during Tammuz it looks like this The Three Weeks period is going to be very intense, unless my Tourmaline Wand from Mt Shasta and my sage stick also from Mt Shasta has any effects on mitigating against this curse of Tammuz. Time will tell.....

Firstly. .... an example of how big corporations treats you like shit while they enjoy their threesomes in bed with the govt and banks. Despite my faithfully making a payment each fortnite towards the roaming rort debt, a debt which Telstra failed to warn me about until too late, those low-life sub-human scums at Telstra decided to suspend all of my phone services. I hardly use the phone anyway, 99% of my friends and contacts uses FB messenger, email and other internet means to contact me. My phone I use only for data and Internet access while out of the house, and I now use my prepaid portable wi fi device from Optus to connect my phone (which I can still do since that part is not controlled by Telstra).

However this is so not the point. Telstra is a large profit making corporation, albeit have now shown themselves to be an unethical indeed criminal organization. Their utterly abysmal treatment of me will not go unpunished. Fact is this threesome, corporations, govt, and banks cares nothing about the common citizen. This is the same worldwide. The laws of the land are stacked against the common citizens and designed to favor one or more of the threesome. So I will have to use other means to punish Telstra. I have already gone elsewhere for my data and mobile Internet access. And when my contract with Telstra ends in May next year I will be terminating all business relationships with them, and going elsewhere for prepaid phone services even if it means changing numbers. No one ever calls me anyway, so being prepaid I won't need to pay anything unless in the rare instance of using the phone for phone calls or text.

Last but not least, I am a witch and I DO have powers. People mess with me to their peril, especially those in large profit making unethical criminal organizations like Telstra. Each payment towards the debt is already sent with a curse  (what we call a hex) to curse anyone in the corporation who deals with that essentially stolen money. Now I will be stepping up my curses after this latest episode, suspending my phone services. Telstra is going to regret ever dealing with me. You do not mess with a witch.

Rant over..... now other things......

Those carrier pigeons had yesterday delivered my rear bicycle light and I now have it, on the charger. As with my front light, the rear light is rechargeable, just like with a phone or tablet. It saves on having to replace batteries every time you turn around! !!!! And those carrier pigeons were quick, it took them only a week from the east coast. Must have been the prevailing winds.

My taxes.... well it turns out I will be getting a refund check albeit not as much as I usually get. I thought due to the effects of the past year being a 27-fortnite year instead of the usual 26, that I would have a tax bill like I did the last time this happened a few years ago. But not this time, I will be getting a refund check though the 27-week fortnite robbed me of a greater more usual check. I submitted my taxes yesterday online, so my refund check should be in my bank account within two weeks. I never have had to wait more than two weeks for my refund.

The refund check will be used to help pay off the Telstra debt. It won't pay all of it but will pay most of the remaining balance. Anything remaining to be paid I should be able to pay by the end of July or early in August. I don't care if my phone services is ever reinstated, I rarely use it anyway, and if I have to call them to reinstate my phone services even after paying off the debt, I simply not going to do it. I am a stubborn Virgo, and with my natal chart showing Uranus in my Sun sign Virgo, a very rebellious Virgo. And with my chart showing Uranus conjunction with Pluto in Virgo, a very dark rebellious soul, which is why I send curses to those foolish enough to treat me like shit, especially those within the threesome - corporations, banks and govt. I am absolutely livid with Telstra, and anger does help to add energy to the curses directed at the target of the anger.

After I finish paying off Telstra I can concentrate on saving my pennies for my Glastonbury trip in October. Both the air ticket and lodging in England, the two most expensive items, are already booked and paid. So there is only the car rental that I need to save for, also booked but not paid, you pay for it when picking up the car in London. Then of course petrol for the car, and usual living expenses like food, etc, and spending money. Like the Virgo that I am, I have a saving target which I worked out should comfortably meet my expenses, and as long as I pay off Telstra by early August at the max and have no more catastrophes, I should be able to meet my savings target. I just have to survive The Three Weeks which ends about 2nd week of August.

Speaking of govt, I am one of the causes of the potential hung Parliament for I did not vote for either major parties. Both are Reptilians and are both joined at the top in the Reptilian order. Though their policies may have some differences, their ultimate Reptilian agendas are identical. I also did not vote for the Greens though I voted for them in the past, for they have also been exposed as Reptilians. What gave them away was their stated support for the "no jab no pay" law, that is, parents would not receive certain child support payments from the govt unless their children received vaccination according to the prescribed schedules. Vaccination is a Reptilian agenda designed to control the population, similar to how Hitler controlled the Jews in concentration camps. Vaccinations does NOT prevent diseases. Studies (that are not paid by the govt or pharmaceutical companies) have shown that the decreases in many of the diseases can be linked to improvement in hygiene and other improvements in living standards, not by the invention of vaccinations.

Indeed I am living proof of the lies behind vaccinations. Here at work we are offered flu vacs for free, and all of my colleagues receive the vax except me. And they all get the flu and have to take time off work for the flu except me. I have never gotten the flu since that September from hell in 2011 when my wife gotten a nasty strain of the flu from the hospital. That is now five years ago and I have never gotten the flu despite not receiving the flu vax.

Anyway, back to the elections, I did not vote for either major parties nor the Greens, they are all tied together at the Reptilian top with ultimately identical agendas. I did place first preference to the Marujuana  (Weed) Party cos no Reptilian would ever advocate weed being legalised, and I mean full legalization, not just for "medicinal purposes" which is just another Reptilian method of control. It was the Reptilians who made weed illegal in the first instance, and they did it for the benefit of big corporations and pharmaceutical companies who would be out of business if everyone used weed. The health benefits of weed are many, which I have experienced before as I have smoked the stuff before. I don't smoke it now cos I don't want to get into trouble, a criminal conviction would prevent me from going overseas. But I certainly have done it before and it is totally harmless, it does not cause cancer nor other diseases, and no one have ever died from weed overdoses, the worst that can happen is just an extended period of being stoned. But while being drunk from alcohol can damage the body and brain, this does not occur with weed. I am living proof of that. If anything, weed makes you more mentally alert and more open to the higher dimensions. Alcohol does not do that, neither does tobacco nor nicotine.

Oh yes I am a hippie, a rebel, and conspirist who does not believe the lies perpetuated by govt, corporations, the Reptilian controlled media, TV, religion (also controlled by Reptilians such as chief Reptilian Pope Francis) and this society in general. All are lies designed to enslave us. And more and more of us are waking up, hence the election results, and also other things worldwide such as Britain's unexpected exit from the EU.

More of my weirdness musings another time........

The Deep Freeze

Here experiencing one of the coldest winters on record. Of course as per typical of Perth it never rains, well it might rain a little on one day then a week without rain when the temperature plummets. It is warmer when it rains. For me with a very low tolerance of the cold, this winter has been very difficult for me, and find it almost impossible to keep warm even with heaters. I find myself getting into bed soon after I eat and go into hibernation mode, though I still sleep only 4 hours in total, I just spend the whole night drifting in and out of sleep, until it's time to get up for work which seem to take every ounce of my energy. I am wide awake, not tired, but very sluggish like a reptile due to the cold. And my heart meds does not help, though I had always had trouble coping with winter even before being being put on these meds. So nothing gets done at night. Today I am off work so better get this blog out while I can before I go back into hibernation mode.

It's been almost 12 months since the heart attack event so I was back at the hospital this morning for the checkup and blood test. My blood pressure was as close to perfect, and have lost about 8kg since this time last year. At least physically I am feeling great. But I just always get depressed during winter.

However in spite of the winter deep freeze I still do attend the ecstatic dancing sessions. We Virgos are very determined creatures, and we don't easily give up. It takes all of my energy at times to get ready to go out and attend the dance sessions but once I am on the dance floor I turn into a different person, my energy levels goes up, and lose all sense of time while dancing. It's like being back on Taygeta where it is a lot warmer and does not experience winter.

I currently attend dance sessions with two groups. Dance Mandala on Wednesday nights, and Dancing Dhevas which is held twice monthly usually on a Saturday night but sometimes on a Friday night, such as this week.

Soon the dreaded The Three Weeks which commemorate the siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of both Temples some 6 centuries apart, and when I typically suffer calamities. Since the phenomenon affects only Jews, and there is no Jewish blood in me, and does not affect the rest of my blood family, I conclude it is due to my past life as a Jewish priest working in the 2nd Temple at the time of the Maccabean revolt which led to the Chanukah festival.

Of course my heart attack last year happened during The Three Weeks. This year, this dreadful period begins on July 23. In the past I have tried various methods to protect myself but to no avail. This year I have my Tourmaline Wand and sage stick both from Mt Shasta, I  bought these at Mt Shasta during my recent America trip. I am hopeful these may protect me against the influence of The Three Weeks. We shall see how it pans out this time.

And of course tax time in this very high tax country. In past years we used to be able to claim out of pocket medical expenses on our taxes, I did it all the time while my wife was still alive so we always ended up with a bigger refund payment. However this has since been abolished so with all my expenses on my heart meds, about $50 to $60 per month, that is, the out of pocket expense after Medicare, and my occasional visit to the Cardiologist which is approx $100 after Medicare, I can no longer claim these on my taxes. So not only we are one of the most high tax country on Earth, we get less of it back. Well at least I can still claim my Union dues on my taxes, I wonder how long that will last before the govt decides to take that away.

This whole trading debt "problem" the excuse the govt uses to raise taxes, cut services and take away refund entitlements, is a big lie designed to  enslave us. This can be proving by adding up the so-called debts and surpluses of each country on Earth. More countries are in debt than in surplus. However logically it all should add up to a net amount of 0, that is, the debts or surplus of each country should all even out. But it does not do that!!!!! In fact we end up with a net debt of trillions of dollars!!!! Quite clearly something is not right. This is proof that this is all just a con designed to keep us in slavery, to accept the govt cutbacks and paying more tax. Another interesting fact, there was a time when there was no income tax in America, no one paid taxes on anything in America and the country remained in surplus. However soon after income tax was introduced to America, the country began to go allegedly into debt, and we all know of their so-called debt problems today.

Rant over.... back to my taxes.... I normally wait until after The Three Weeks before doing my taxes as I never do it during The Three Weeks and I don't usually get all of my tax statements before then. However this year The Three Weeks starts relatively late in the Roman calendar, on July 23, so I may get all my statements before then so will be able to do my taxes then.

Then another potential problem. The year usually consists of 26 fortnites which the tax calculations is based. However this financial year just gone consisted of 27 fortnites. This is akin to having three fortnitely pays in a month, which occasionally happens, giving us an extra pay period where we don't have the monthly bills coming out. In other words, our refund checks are much reduced during 27-fortnite years, indeed the last time this happened I ended up with a tax bill rather than a refund check!!!! Uh well will have to see how it pans out when I do my taxes.

In regards to the lawnmower catastrophe, well I did finally acquired a new lawnmower, and though less than half the price of my previous now dead lawnmower, it is a lot better. This lawnmower runs off the mains via a long cord, while my old mower was battery operated. This new mower has a lot more grunt, it does not cut out when I go through long grasses, and there is no four hours wait for the battery to recharge as with the old mower when the battery gets spent half way through doing the lawns in one yard. Most of the price difference lays in the battery and recharge unit which came with the old mower, that alone costs near $250 while my new mower with a cord I got for $180.

Now waiting for the carrier pigeons to deliver my order for a new tail light for my bicycle, which like everything else ordered online, it always comes from the east coast. Meanwhile ever resourceful Virgo me managed to rig up a flashlight with red cellophane over it on the back of my bicycle which will do the job until those carrier pigeons finally deliver my new light. It is always dark when I leave for work during the winter months hence needing lights. My resourcefulness, aside from being a Virgo trait, also stems from my childhood poverty years when I often had to resort to scraps and leftover junk to improvise any repairs etc needed on my basic old bike that I had back then.

However I hope for no more calamities so I can pay off the Telstra debt before the start of The Three Weeks!!!!!

The football tipping.... had a setback during the first week of my America trip due to the roaming rort fiasco, I could not get online so could not submit my tips. This really brought me down the scale to somewhere in the middle. During the other three weeks of my trip I was able to access free wi fi at the motels I stayed in so could submit my tips. But it looks like I won't be able to catch up to my previous heights of success. It seems the curse of Chiron strikes again, that I never won any prize money since Chiron entered my Ascendant sign Pisces about the time of Mother's death, and Chiron is still in Pisces this year, it is a slow moving object being located past the orbit of Saturn in the Solar System.

Anyway.... enough of my ramblings for now.... hope to upload more pixs to my America Trip Facebook page before I go back into hibernation. .....

More Happening Since America. ....

More things happening but thankfully not so catastrophic......

Ecstatic Dancing. I just love dancing so much and am currently involved with two groups - Dance Mandala which has a weekly session on Wednesday evenings, and Dancing Dhevas which meets twice each month usually Saturday evening but sometimes Friday evening. Each session is only $20 and $25 so it is not expensive. And you don't need a partner for ecstatic dancing, it is very much dancing in one's own space. I'm getting too old for all this shit of dating, romance and relationships. If you don't have anyone by age 50 then you're not going to get anyone. I know there are exceptions to this rule, akin to the fact that there are exceptions to the rule that people who plays lotto will not win 1st division prize. Some people DO win 1st division but for any one of us it is very unlikely for it to happen - but far more likely than me finding a partner. The New Zealand affair was my last chance and it didn't work out, so I now focus on my life callings and traveling the world, which is much easier and cheaper when on your own. So ecstatic dancing is perfect for me, you don't need a partner, in fact they discourage you from trying to pick up a date during ecstatic dancing. It is very much emphasis on dancing in your own space and respecting the space of others. And I just love it so much.

End of lease. My lease on this house ends this month but haven't yet had any news on the extension or otherwise of the lease. But there is a good reason. While I was in America the landlord has been keeping watch on the house. And Perth experienced a rare event - storms! !! And the house sustained storm damage, nothing structural abd didn't affect what was inside, just the front porch was lost. Indeed it was rather a shock when I came home from the airport and found some poles and steel sticking out from what used to be a front porch!!!!

So the landlord through his insurance has been dealing with replacing the front porch, but is doing a lot more than that, which analytical Virgo me concludes that he is preparing to sell the house. We Virgos are very good at analysis and working out what is going on. For starters he has pruned all of the trees. In past years he'd prune maybe the biggests of the trees, but this time he pruned ALL of them including the front tree which had never been pruned since moving in back in 2010. Also he is also replacing part of the back porch, which does need replacing,  but it wasn't damaged in the storm and could have been functional for a few more years yet.

Of course true enough I was for a while been wanting to downsize a bit into a smaller apartment, and there is no longer a housing crisis in Perth, indeed there is an oversupply of rental properties and landlords are having to drop the rents to attract potential tenants. So in some ways this is a good time to move out. But it is still expensive to move house, you need six weeks rent for the security bond and advance rent payment, and well we Virgos can budget and raise finances as needed but we do have limits. Even Virgos cannot work miracles. Uh well just have to trust the universe. My ultimate aim is a more nomadic lifestyle but some things has to happen first before this becomes a viable option.

The curse of The Three Weeks. Oh yes that dreaded time of year is coming up, the anniversary of the destruction of the Jewish Temples, the "Three Weeks" when calamities befalls the Jews - and those who were Jews in their past lives - ME!!!!! This year it falls the 2nd half of July and first weeks of August. Of course last year during this period I suffered my heart attack and almost died. So now "The Three Weeks" will be forever remembered as the time I nearly died!!!! Anyway I will be sharing more on this later as we get closer to this dreadful time......

Enough of my musings. .... as I upload more pixs to my America trip page on Facebook. ......

Back From America

I will be updating my America trip page on Facebook for a while yet with the huge number of pixs yet to be uploaded and my weird musings of my adventures in America. It will probably take me until my Glastonbury trip in October to finish updating my America trip trip, which by then I will have a Glastonbury trip page. But other things has been happening which I will share in upcoming blogs here. It took me a while to settle back in.

My PC have given up the ghost..... again..... hence am composing this on my tablet. However this time I am ready to let it go. It is an ancient PC and increasingly unable to meet my requirements. This tablet actually meets these requirements more efficiently than my PC. And between my tablet and my phone I can do most things that my PC could do. We Virgos does not like change so are often forced into change by circumstances. But in truth these days the PC is virtually obsolete with advances in tablet and phone technology, both items in my possession are less than a year old in contrast to my PC which is several years old, in fact over 10 years, that makes it virtually a museum piece.

This is also in keeping with my trend towards a minimalist lifestyle, that is, with a minimum of possessions, which not only will help fund my overseas trips - I plan on more next year - but ultimately will lead to a more nomadic lifestyle. I will need a Windows based device, my two devices are Android devices and there are certain things that will work only in windows, and there are reasonab6 portable items around for as little as $300, but it will have to wait until after my Glastonbury trip which is less than four months away. My air ticket and lodgings are already paid for but will need to save my pennies for other things on the trip, while still dealing with a legacy of my America trip.

It is amazing how the universe operates in cycles. My previous America trip was back in 1998, 18 years ago, which is a lunar cycle. The Moon moves in cycles of 18-19 years which the Hebrew calendar is based. My 1998 trip left me with the legacy of the car rental fiasco where basically I was ripped off by a car rental company, which wrecked my finances, maxed out my credit cards, and led to my bankruptcy a year later and years of financial troubles.

This time it is the telco roaming  rorting fiasco. This time I am far better prepared, my finances in better shape, and I didn't bring back a wife this time, so this will not lead to bankruptcy. But this will test to the limit my Virgo ability to plan, budget, and get myself through this while at the same time save for my Glastonbury trip.

As I was enjoying my week in Hawaii I was blissfully unaware I was rapidly racking up a bill of several hundreds of dollars in roaming data fees. There was no wi fi in the hostel I was staying at, but I kept my online time to a minimum, only for a short time each evening. Then Telstra decided to warn me when my bill reached several hundreds of dollars which was a shock to me. They were supposed to warn me when the bill reached $100 but they failed to do so. Telstra did to me what the car rental company did to me 18 years ago. It turned out I had forgotten to switch off background data downloads on my device thus blissfully unaware that my device were downloading data, such as autosave of my pixs and auto updates. Needless to say I immediately switched off the background data but the damage has already been done. I now had a bill that was close to $1000.

Since arriving back I had already paid off  $300 towards the bill, and with my Virgo abilities to plan things down to a T and my organization skills, I  should be able to pay off the rest of the bill in about six weeks or so. But this is something I could have done without with Glastonbury only 4 months away!!!!

I have also taken steps to make sure this won't happen again when I go to Glastonbury. I have purchased a portable wi fi device on a prepaid data plan with a different telco company, and set my devices to connect to this device. I will not be going onto any more contracts, and when my current contract with Telstra ends in May next year I will be terminating my relationship with Telstra and have my phone on a prepaid plan with a different telco company. Meanwhile I have switched off my data on my device which ensures that the only way I can get data is through wi fi such as my home broadband connection which costs only $100 per month for virtually unlimited data with a different ISP and bundled with my landline phone, and my portable prepaid wi fi device when I am out of the house. After May next year I will have nothing whatsoever to do with Telstra. Main lesson, do not go on any contracts, always use prepaid.

On top of this, the lawnmower catastrophe. My lawnmower had given up the ghost at the worst possible time, indeed this is the worst possible thing to have happened. If my washing machine had broken down I could just handwash or go to the laundromat, if my fridge broke down I could just live on food that doesn't need refrigerators for storage, or even if my car broke down well I have my bicycle and a reasonable public transport system. But the lawnmower, well as part of the lease agreement I need the lawns mowed so need a mower to do it with, there is no getting around it!!!!

Option 1 - hire a mower. It turns out it costs about $60 on average for a day's hire on weekends, and here in winter I would need to hire a mower every two weeks, that is how fast my lawns grows in winter. And since I sourced a reasonable mower for under $200, after six weeks it becomes more cost effective to purchase such a mower.

Option 2 - pay someone to mow my lawns. Very expensive in Perth, so not a viable option at all when I would need to do it every fortnite.

Option 3 - have lawnmower repaired. Getting anything repaired is very expensive in Perth. It is an electric mower and my Virgo analysis of the situation led to an educated guess that the electronic switch box has blown and needs replacing, which is likely to be expensive this on top of the labor charges which is very expensive in Perth. Last year when I had my PC repaired all they did was tightened a loose wire, they didn't even replace any parts, and they still charged me over $100 for the privilege! !!! So a lawnmower with at least one part that will need replacing, I  reckon at least $300 minimum, so cheaper to just get a new mower for under $200.

Option 4 - Get a new mower. As stated I have sourced a basic but functional mower for under $200. I could get one for close to $100 but is too small for the area of my lawns. The $200 model is bigger, and its not cordless like my current mower but it will do me for this winter until I get to Glastonbury. So will get the mower this week.

Furthermore with my lease ending this month there is some likelihood I may have to move out anyway which will kick start my nomadic lifestyle. It does help to be single. But that is another story altogether.

Other things has been happening, none so catastrophic.... will share next time......

Enough of my musings for now......

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 !!!!!!
