Today is a good day like any other

as usual in the lovely land of Nelson

Reasons could include :

Today is a beautiful sunny day

Today was the Trolley Derby on Collingwood Street

Heaps of festivities seep from the walls and my pores, as I celebrate nothing and everything

Today is also kinda a nice day because I discovered that I can go online from the tills at work. It's been pretty steady tonight, so somemes people will walk by and see me drawring obscure things on paintbrush, or looking up silly things on answerbag.com - a great website to play around when you are bored.

Today seems to be going a little slower then usual, as my duties seem limited tonight. The lady I'm working with has heaps of paper work in the back. This makes me kinda stuck at the till. However I am not frowning about this situation. Oh no, indeed I smile as I get to stand like a flamingo and type about my thoughts and feelings - sorta. Sometimes at work I think it's important to be creative to enjoy every breath I take. Like wearing goofy glasses, seeing how long you can stand on one leg without having to switch, seeing how many pens you can fit in your hair- OH the opportunities are endless when you work at a Cruise bottle shop .

So I'm not really too sure what else is new.....Life is good in general...I keep myself busy with a variety of activities and shenanigans. I got offered a 13 day gig in Motueka from March 17-30th. It's pretty sweet and I couldn't turn it down. I actually don't even know what it is, other then it's some promotion. I think I'm just handing out some random stuff. I get my accommodation payed for and get twice as much as the liquor king though so dayam...how could I turn it down ?

At the same time I think I will miss Nelson in ways....How gay is that??? I have never lived somewhere that I love so much it's weird. At the same time though I'm super stoked to do something different, make new friends, and kidnap myself to a land of mystery. I also daydream about going to riverside community for a while as well.

My friend told me about riverside/tui community which is just outside of Golden Bay. I could probably write a book about my friend-and most of my friends at Paradiso. But I will just take it one at a time. His name is Deirmid -An Irish lad who has a lovely way of looking at stuff, along with amazing travels, and life experience. He has lived a heap of places, and has practiced yoga for the last ten+ years. He moved to India and tells me the most lovely stories. You know when the sky is particularly beautiful and you look up at it with this happy childish grin on you face? Well that is how I feel when I think about all the stuff he has done. He will just be hanging out at the pool sometimes and break out into these crazy head stands. Such a random guy, but we think similar in many aspects and is very good company. The point I was trying to get at is that he tells me about all these communities that I want to go to. Basically you work for three hours and get all your meals, and accommodation for free. It's real good food too, organic and all. You also learn a lot of things how to live off the land. Generally the people that go there are quite earthy and granola as well. Artsy types that love to play, run around and be childish. I find myself gazing up at the sky often and fantasising about things like that. Passionately kidnapping myself and running to a land of Museli. I love Nelson a lot, but it's fun to toy around with the imagination. I also think about Asia and India a lot. I know I would love the randomness, of them, It would be fun to have more of a culture shock.

Anyways I think my rambling is done now....

Happy Saturday

Love
