Instant Coffee World
Height of exam period productivity - brain comes up with weird song...too much caffeine, not enough studying. Gaah...somebody shoot me.
Instant Coffee World
You were discovered in an instant world
Where you just add boiling water
The smell of coffee hits the daily grind
Smoke and metal, flashing lights
You take the suspense
As you step off the sidewalk -
Would the world stop? Or would it run you over?
Tired and blind and sleeping
With its eyes wide open
You hope doors will open
Like you hope that drugs will dull the pain
But you hear the sound of the city's
Four walls closing in
You try to scream, but who will hear you?
A tree falls in a forest that no one's in
Playing hide and seek
You can't see who you're hiding from
Or who's counting...
The days until you're gone
Sticks and stones may break your bones
Words will take up memory on your phone
The smell of home hits the back of your mind
Tears and voices, pleading eyes
The children play mums and dads
While mums and dads are playing God
Or something else they just won't tell you
Cos they love you and they're making sure
Your heart's not broken
You hope doors will open
Like you hope that drugs will dull the pain
But you hear the sound of the city's
Four walls closing in
You try to scream, but who will hear you?
A tree falls in a forest that no one's in
Playing hide and seek
You can't see who you're hiding from
Or who's counting...
The days until you're gone
Do you lie awake in dreams at night
And wonder if you're there?
And with tomorrow's daylight
You fall asleep again....
Cos you hear the sound of the city's
Four walls closing in
You try to scream, but who will hear you?
Another piece falls in a game that no one wins
Playing hide and seek
You can't see who you're hiding from
Or who's counting...
The days until you're gone

Liar Liar
I'm a liar. Especially on Sundays. I tell more lies on Sundays than I do any other day of the week. Except maybe Fridays. I can think of at least four people I lied to last Sunday. Well maybe they weren't direct lies as such, more not volunteering the whole truth. But it's all the same. Maybe you were one of those people I lied to on Sunday. Maybe I've lied to you on previous Sundays.
Why do I lie? Is it called lying if you side-step answers to questions you don't want to talk about? What if it was even for the other person's benefit that you didn't go into the truth? And I'm not referring to gossip here. How much information are you obliged to reveal about yourself in a casual conversation? Sometimes it is less painful for all parties involved to just tell a white lie.
Why do people lie? Is it because people know they just aren't articulate enough to be able to tell the truth without hurting someone else's feelings or making someone else uncomfortable? Sure, you could give the "no comment" , or "I don't really want to go into that" response, but then people are going to read their own meaning into that.
Maybe people lie because they don't expect others to be encouraging in return. Why bother telling the truth when it will just be met with indifference, misunderstanding or a condescending sort of sympathy?
Hmmm...now I kinda understand why some people stop coming to church.

Maybe I should have been a lawyer...NOT!
Well now that the pseudo-law exam is over, I thought I might put up a few gems from the stimulating documents we had to study (all taken out of context, of course).
Hmmm....how about this helpful lot of definitions from the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 No 31, Section 27 (6):
Or what do you make of this, from the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Regulation 2002, Clause 102 (1):
Or Clauses 133 and 134:
I mean...ewwww!
Although my favourite would have to be Section 19D(1) from the Pharmacy Act 1964 No28:
Hmmm....how about this helpful lot of definitions from the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 No 31, Section 27 (6):
In this section:
type A drug of addiction means a drug of addiction prescribed by the regulations under this section as a type A drug of addiction.
type B drug of addiction means a drug of addiction prescribed by the regulations under this section as a type B drug of addiction.
type C drug of addiction means any drug of addiction (other than a type A drug of addiction).
Or what do you make of this, from the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Regulation 2002, Clause 102 (1):
A retail pharmacist is authorised:
(a) to have possession of drugs of addiction, and
(b) to manufacture drugs of addiction and any preparation, admixture or extract of a drug of addiction....
Or Clauses 133 and 134:
133 Personal cleanliness
A person who is involved in the preparation or handling of exposed substances:
(a) must be clean and must wear clean clothing, and
(b) must clean his or her hands (by means of soap or detergent and water or by some other suitable cleaning process) before starting work and before resuming work after using the toilet.
134 Spitting and smoking etc
A person who is involved in the preparation or handling of exposed substances, or who is in a place that is used for preparing or handling exposed substances, must not:
(a) urinate, defecate or spit, or
(b) use, smoke or chew tobacco or any other similar substance, or
(c) sit, walk, stand or lie on any surface used for the purposed of preparing or handling exposed substances.
I mean...ewwww!
Although my favourite would have to be Section 19D(1) from the Pharmacy Act 1964 No28:
A complaint may be made by any person that a pharmacist:
...
...
...
...
...
...is not of good character.

Glue leaders' social: Blue Mountains
As you might have noticed I haven't been bothered to blog "properly" recently...but they say pictures are good, so here are some random pictures from our outing today to Katoomba. I would have put more up of people sleeping on the train, but I thought that would be mean =P
Hmmm yes...half of it wasn't all that "social" because we were too busy looking at our feet and holding on to railings, trying not to stack it on the giant staircase, which wouldn't have been good. It was good exercise though, probably more a workout for the legs than the heart since we were going down =D
Praise God for the slightly chilly but fine weather =) Overall it was an enjoyable day, we probably should do something like this more often!
Yawn....ok hopefully someone else will post about this more properly, or maybe I will a bit later, hmmm, yes, *later*... but for now...good night!
