So... i've been busy lately

Bahahahaha!!!

I am back after a very intense planning and action spree for my project, and i have now completed fixing and treating the beds to go to PNG. 

Done!!

Finished!!

Finito!!

I have been more and more interested in learning Portuguese (my first language) because as i have forgotten a vast majority of it. I can barely string words together let alone sentences, but alas i try because it’s something i need to do.

 

I have plenty of polish friends and have also started to learn a little polish

 

It would be really awesome if i could find people who are willing to have a conversation with me in these languages, i figured it would be really beneficial to me to do this in a forum type setting where i can take my time to post a legible response :D

 

Tomorrow i'm going to the hospital that donated all the equipment to learn all the tech bits for my project. I’m so exited......................... :D

 

Alright bye now 

I have things to see and people to do

The Answer To My Last Post

So the other night i was supposed to meet up with friends in the valley. I was at work and couldn't attend the party but i knew they were going to be in the valley later that night, so it was all good.

 

I finished work and got out to my car and realised i didn't have the right shirt in my car. I had finished early so i figured I’ll just pop home and grab a shirt so that’s what i did.  I was driving along and sent a message to my friend asking where he was so i could meet up with him, no answer. I arrived home and ran inside to grab my shirt, i said bye to every one, and off i went. i gave him a call and no answer... and another call no answer, i figured i might as well head in any way, cause his phone might have a flat battery, so i went and parked near the hospital, and walked in and as i was doing so i messaged a few people to find where he was....

 

I got one answer, and it said "nup i don't know where he is" ... useless.

 

so there i was walking queen street mall, and i saw a friend that i hadn't seen for about a year, and then i got dragged along with them, after a few clubs, we stop at one place and sat down to have a few drinks, one of my friends went to get a drink and came back. She said “hey i met this polish guy and he is really tall,

 

OMFG.... i know this guy 

 

I ran out to the bar, and there he was.  this was the same guy who replied to my text, oh man, so that was cool and so we were dancing and drinking the whole night, and it came to the end of the night and this chick i knew from school had attached herself to me, so i gathered everyone who was left and we went for breakfast. I had a chicken Caesar salad. After eating that and while talking to every one, this girl managed to fall asleep on my lap, it was cute but awkward.

 

then i didn't think about it before but my plan was that i would crash at my mates place but after all that had happened it didn't seem like that was going to happen so i had to trek it back to my car from the city :(

 

I did meet a nice homeless Aboriginal man though we talked for an hour and a half. I found out that he used to be a drover and then when the mines came there was no land left so then he used to ride in rodeos, but after a while at that he had to move on. He was a very good singer and we talked about music for a large portion of that time. He had a little stereo with a cd of "the carpenters".

 

So i arrived home had a shower tried to get some work done but fell asleep next to the computer, nice and refreshed this morning ;)

:P

bah....

work again... 

...

boring...

things....

stuff...

???...

maybe??

party....

:D

just...  maybe... just...... maybe....

we'll see

Munchkinhugs - blog letter 1

How are you munchkin??

this is a Blog letter, you should send one back as soon as you get this its a quicker alternative to snailmail but not as instant as IM and not as impersonal as E-mail,

i have been good, i found its hard looking for Vac work, and my project is being difficult again but i remain positive that it will get done :D

how are your work / Vac work searches going??

i see you have been doing and are going to do a whole bunch of IRL-life stuff ;) , have fun... eventually i will find a way to to be a part of this IRL-life stuff once again, i think you party way too much... you are becoming a wild child

eventually i think you will get bored and come back to the realisation that the blogosphere (or bloggosphere) is your real home, it is your destiny to return to us

Yours Sincerely

Sir Almo

Re: Depression!!!

im posting, cause  i haven't posted for a while.

i don't know how long its been but my last post had a few people chatting :S... i didn't mean for it to be something big or attention seeking in fact, its weird, i don't usually get so many readers all at once. the point of that was not the depression its self but a way to vent, to tell someone at the least. i don't actually have depression or at least its not diagnosed. It was something i was looking at to describe how i was feeling at that point in time and one thing led to another which resulted in that post

now it was very nice of you all to offer your support, and postive messages and all the rest, but i assure you that those actions can push some one further into a depression, because its makes them feel useless.

in laymans terms

imagine you feel really sad and you have no idea why, and everyone is trying to cheer you up. a normal person would just take it and move on and by the next day..."yeh whatever". A depressed person may behave somewhat differently, you will try to cheer them up and they will feel hopeless, and then you may say things like come on *something somthing* (e.g. its not that hard  or  you can do this) and when they can't you make them feel useless because obviously its something everyone else can do but why can't they.

its not a matter of god either, because i have seen plenty good religious families devistated by depression, and they worst part about it all is that it can increase the need to be normal and therefore increase the feelings of uselessness.

also telling a depressed person that they are not depressed is not the best idea either, you will make them feel insane. something along the lines of "if im not depressed then how come i feel this way?? why can't i stop it??". when someone says that it really makes you question yourself. what am i thinking?? is it real?? is it all in my head??.

telling them to get over it, will most definately drive them insane and infuriate them. Again because they can't just get over it, a frustration builds.

Now obviously i have given you a few hypotheticals but in all honesty doing any of these things to a depressed person can result in the above feelings,

feelings of sadness, uselessness, insanity, frustration, anger. 

and people misunderstand the situation and continue the cycle, perpetuating the depression to the point of no return.  

just something you may want to consider next time :D
