    Life sometimes throws a curve ball

    For sometime now I have felt as though I was on a downwards spiral.

    The light at the end of the tunnel seemed to have disappeared.

    Everything seemed to be getting on top of me with no sign of any respite.


    Then life decides to do something nice to you.

    I land a job that I have been looking for, for quite a while.

    20% pay rise plus benifits

    Half the distance to work so petrol costs dropping by half with the very distinct probability that I can car pool with another person.

    Right now I am bouncing off the wall.

    Rang the other half and she is getting in a bottle of Jamaca's finest beverage and we will be doing some serious celebrating tonight.


    Yahooooooooo

    AWESOME MAN!! Good things happening to good people!!! Nice.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    We're all in some form of shit , its the depth that varies ! Is ya glass half full or half empty ?
    Answer lies with you, not with KBers !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
