Revived

This is my first entry from way back in March after the epic skyrun. I was pretty burnt out with uni to be honest so now that I'm done I shall do a quick recap on the past 3 months.

Firstly, I'm back in training for the Run Melbourne half marathon on 18th July! I'm supporting the Australian Cancer Research Foundation by raising funds for them so please help by donating. I know there are lots of other charities I could have picked but I feel that cancer research is a worthy cause and would be extremely beneficial to mankind in the long run. The link below brings you to my fundraising page. I know it's currently at $0 but we've all got to start somewhere.

Lots of exciting events happening this year. Going to catch the Australia vs New Zealand game at Etihad Stadium in July, should be one hell of a match! Also, Run Melbourne would be a warm up/tune up for a step-up training culminating in the Mind Alpine Challenge 2011. As you may or may not know, T.O.U.G.H did not finish this year and crashed out at 132km of the 160km race. My goal is to compete in the solo category next year for the 100km race. Yes, it is 60km shorter but this time I'm fending for myself with no team mate. The series of step-up races leading into Mind 2011 would be the Run Melbourne 21km in July, the St George Melbourne Marathon 42.195km in October, the MR25 Ultramarathon in December, and finally the big one next March.

All talk about training so far, let's have some updates on work. 2nd year's been going pretty well for me. Currently waiting on my results for semester 1, and I'm praying to achieve my goal of "nothing below distinction" for this semester. So far I've got 2 HDs and 3 DIs so I'd be quite bummed if a CR or a PA turned up somewhere.

The World Cup season is on! I've been catching matches so far and I'm proud of the asian countries this year, particularly North Korea if you've been following my incessant status updates on facebook. Highly hopeful of them all reaching the knockout stages. The big names have been hugely disappointing so it's time to step up and make history!

Lastly, my mom and Dion are coming over in July! Dion is enlisting in November so this would be a holiday of sorts for him before he errr… becomes a man. LOL!

Cheers and I would most definitely update real soon.

  2. PARADE of men (Jane's Addiction)

    Another feature which the Gods offer as a clue is very foreboading and ominous. Mt. Zion is a mountain to the north of Diablo (the eye of The Beast) and one which has a working quarry at its base. Consistant with the decay we experience in society, Mt. Zion is being eaten away, slowly stripped of its resources, until one day paradise will be gone forever.

    7 billion in 2011. Only 1 billion in 1800 and 2 billion in 1900.
    Population explosion is a clue::::The gods are sending everyone back for The End.
    There must be some purgatory-like place. Or individual. Like an animal.
    Now the gods have sent everyone back to try for one final time to fix their problems and ascend into heaven. Avoiding an animal would have been a big positive because those thrust into this decayed enviornment have less of a chance than those who enjoyed the god's generosity of a slowly decaying enviornment with frightening clues, like the Depression, World at War, the Holocaust, etc.
    Anything that can get the poeple frightened and praying is a good. thing. Contentment never motivated anyone.

    As we approach the Apocalypse the gods are removing "wrath of god" material from xtian dogma.
    As we see wickedness spread throughout the country, like preditory behavior, godlessness, social changes, etc, using cable TV and the spread of "Californication" as justification, they changed xtianity, appropriatly with Catholicism first.
    xtianity has changed radically in the 20th century, and everyone should be mindful of the way it was, because the people are in a process of slipping out of god's favor into a state of Damnation, from which the vast majority will never survive.
    They used to scare people and make them too afraid to make mistakes. Now people aren't afraid of anything and don't think twice about doing something wicked and evil which will hurt their chances.

    If people only understood the importance of good parents. You won't be going anywhere without them. And it won't happen unless you are one first.

    Whimsical management=Unstable pathology:::
    *Tuscon-waffles
    *2006 Hawaii-Jewelry
    *Ivan/Wilma-SCUBA
    *Haiti-slaves
    *Chile-crappy fruit
    I'm sure you got some excuse. Just like Mustang Ranch.
    You've compromised your integrity so hard you no longer deserve the label "gods".

    The gods used the Italians to ruin life in the 20th century.
    The gods used the Italians to ruin life in A.D..
    "The West Bank, where the end of the world will begin."
    And they were reincarnated into the ghetto to be punished as crack babies and in drive-by shootings, ironically poetic justice for inflicting these horrors on their hated enemies.
    On their brothers.

    We saw it with Mustang Ranch as well:::The gods just manufactured the tactic of the Holocaust to accomplish the goals they planned.
    I am of the opinion the gods would have interviened in its absence, illustrating their claims of being good, and established "old world" dictatorship control at the dawn of mankind's mass moral deterioration. Purely speculation, I conceed, and a total waste of time which distracts from important work we are all responsible for, but even without the Holocaust the gods would have manufactured something that would allow them to manage their culpability and justify their lack of divine intervention. After all, we all abide by their chronology.
