"Dancing is to be enjoyed, not perfect."

I came to a bit of realisation last night. I was at one of Dad's gigs, sitting there listening, in the middle of Hamilton as people went up and danced. As in any other gig - that dancing started off pretty good, a bit of 50's-60's music, some old couples went up and rock 'n' rolled, but as the night went on the dancing got progressively worse as people drunk more and more and the music went into the 70's and 80's.
There were however some couples who had obviously taken lessons - and were perfect dances, no matter how much the larger intake might have been. One memorable couple were a young couple, and from the clothes look like the definitely thought there were a cut above everyone else. The fact they tried to tango though Pink Floyds - The Wall made me laugh though.
However, in between the few perfect and the few drunk was a lady in a electric wheelchair. She was right at the front and was unable to move much, she did though try and move her wheelchair in time with the music, and there was something quite amazing about her. While most of the others were showing off, she was simply smiling and having a genuine good time.
It kind of made me think how we do look past things everyday, we never speak to most people or leave out 'comfort zone' or do those things we always said we would before we die.
I don't really know a good ending for this blog, the words just won't come to me. I guess all I'm trying to say is why do we do things that make us unhappy, and stick to them, only to get more misery in return? I know it's been said before, but it is true - life too short, it really is.

Vanity Groups

I recently applied to a 'Vanity' group (you may know it, it's called Bebo Vanity (http://www.bebo.com/bebovanity)) and I was accepted! This shocked me complety, I didn't actualy think I'd get in, but I have the email to prove it. So after sitting in shock for a few second I went onto the site. Now be warned - this isn't just directed at the people on 'Bebo Vanity', but any sort of 'Vanity' group. Why do people create these things? Isn't it kind of idoitic? We get judged everyday anyway, no one can help that, so why put yourself foward so you can judged some more? Why do you need some person sitting on a computer telling you if you 'Perfect' or not? And if you are that person - why do you put people through that? Why do you need to give people whom you consider 'beautiful' that so-called power to rule over other people? And why must you crush other people who might look just fine, but are not 'Perfect' in your eyes? I mean, how can anyone know what this perfect thing is anyway? And why do we listen to people who define it? So I left the group, leaving a comment. I don't need someone to tell me how ugly ot beautiful I may or may not be, I have a world to do that for me, plus myself. I don't need something to be added onto the list.

What An Addict ..

One word: Peggle.
I warn anyone about to download or buy this game, be it at your own risk. It is oh-so-easy to spend hours on this thing. It is just so adddictive!
After discovering this game, because my Dad and Brother were so into it, I couldn't stop playing it. I spend an entire lovel,y sunny day inside playing this. And I didn't feel bad about it.
BUT: to anyone who hasn't tried this game I highly reccomend it! Just be prepared to get out your wallet after you 60 minute trial is up! But don't worry, it is not that pricely. At around $20 (NZ) it is a bargin for hours and hours of frustratment and fun!

1 Out Of 5,500 Chance Of An Astroid To Hit Earth

After hearing something a little worrying I did a little research of my own about an asteroid named Apophis.
In a nut shell, this is the asteroid that could possible destroy our entire planet. It was discovered in 2004 and is said to come near our neck of the woods about April 13th 2029.
At the moment in 2029 they think it will miss our planet. It was be defleted by our atmosphere and fly off into space. But if it goes through a 600 metre wide patch of warped gravity (called a 'keyhole') then Apophis will be sucked into our rotation and in 2036 come back and hit us.
There is a 1 in 5,500 chance it will go though the keyhole.

So if you have any long-term plans you might want to speed them up and if you are going anything on the 13th April 2029 you might want to take the day off.

SunBlock? Chyeah...

Okay. I am pissed.
I am the colour between Cherry Red and Plum.
I smell like a tea leave (http://www.myhomeremedies.com/static... - tea bags are meant to be fabulous for sunburn), look like rhubarb and in such pain that I would think no possible.
Seroiusly - I am in agoney.
+ after a day my face is still radiating heat. You could use me as a heating (but I'm being paid by the hour. T&C apply).

And this is after I sunblock twice before I go out. Again when I get to the beach and again when I come out of the water (for the first time before going back in).
And it's water proof sunblock. I used a spray kind and a paste kind. Both 30+.
And if this is after 4 layers I dread to think what I would be like if I hadn't put any on.
I'm beginning to think I've missed something here...

The ironic thing is: The sea water has gave my hair this great surfer-chick look, my pores have become really cleam, my lips look bigger (but I think that is due to the swelling) and I would look fabulous. If my face was scarred red like this.

Maybe I will just never go out in the sun again..
