    Life's waves...

    Its not often i vent myself on here.... so be warned there is a rant below....

    Isn't funny how life comes in waves of emotion?

    One day everything is going so well - no bills - nice job - nice money - and nice bikes.

    Then all of a sudden one little accident can ruin all your happy mojo?

    well thats sorta what happened to me -

    I was having the greatest time of my life i can remember.. honest. I had my shiney cool looking KRR150 bike that i own myself. I had my cool bucket racing bike.. and lastly i had my sponsored rg150 streetstock bike.

    Then one fine sunday going for a hoon on the KR a little misjudgment in speed means goodbye shiny bike..... hello big dent in car.

    Ah well its a little accident and i can live to talk another day.

    Then the realisation hits. That you broke your shiny bike and now slapped a few $x000 bill for the damage to the car. Ah well its only money.....

    Then while your zip tied bike is sitting at the car park, some twat decides to slash your rear tyre for you..... but the problem is you cant afford no rear tyre..... let alone petrol to get to college....

    I know all these thing (and some other personal things) are only little speed bumps in life... but when you add them all together they seem rather large..

    well i guess the way i look at it is..

    "the next wave should be a good one"

    venting over......

    continue normal life

    Hey Glenn
    Sorry to hear that its been pretty shite lately. Life on a shoestring budget sucks. At least you got good riding skills aye. Hope things get better real soon. See you at the next VMCC Round.

    Yep.
    Sometimes life is like one big fat shit sammy. I have learnt that sometimes you just have to keep yer head down and ride out the bad times. Eventually everyone's luck will change and if nothing else when shit does happen all you can do is try to learn from the experience. The key is to value what you do have and not to want too much for the things you don't.

    You have a very supportive family and some great mates.... Be happy, or I'll slash yer front tyre, just to learn ya properly.

    It's taken me a long time, but when the brown stuff hits the fan - start getting excited - cos something really good is on the way!! (I had to wait about 8.5 years before my luck turned!! and good started happening!!). But I do life one day at a time. And the cliche "It makes you stronger" - that use to get on my nerves - personally I didn't want to be an ironperson!! lol.
    Swings and roundabouts.
    Good luck mate.

    Kharma, my boy, kharma. You must have stepped on an earthworm in aprevious existence, and now annelidly nemesis has caught up with you.
