I have arived in Delhi safely. It’s all been good fun. Looks like everything will come together nicely. It is though very hot. Way hot in fact. But all good fun. The dodge factor is truely awesome. I really am a fan. It’s got a very special character. The people I’ve meet so far have been tops. I am sure the rest of the people will be too.

I had a few fears coming over about how organised the stuff would be. But it’s all sorted.

It really is quite hot though.

I reckon the scariest/worst thing in the world is nothing.
I don’t think there is any worse feeling then the absents of feeling.
I think the idea of someone being completely indifferent towards me is more scary then someone hating me.
Being deprived of all my senses worse then any other horrors they could be subjected to.

Being in a void is the scariest place I can think of to be. I think hell would probably be more about the absence of things rather then the present. In fact I remember one definition of hell being the absence of God.

6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness [1] will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

This shall be my manifesto. My mission statement. My purpose.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t know
Sometimes I feel like checking out
I wanna get it wrong
Can’t always be strong
And love it won’t be long

I like cricket. It can be slow but I reckon it’s a good game none the less.

Is very good. It is almost worship music, I wish church music was as good as U2’s. I really think U2 music could be used more in church’s. It was really good when Tom played “Where the streets have no name” in church. Bono even says the “Spirit is in the house”.

I had lunch with Adam up at the Food Court. I went to the Dee Why with a few people. Read the Dailly Telegraph in Hornsby Pool Park. Ran into two different groups of friends, whilst waiting to go to Blu with a different group of people(Tom,Howie,Jo and Kenny. Helen Joined us later.
After that we went back to Tom’s house, ate some pasta that Tom cooked(it was good Tom). Talk for a while, then we watched Buffalo Soldiers. Then I went home.

Last night I embarked upon an adventure. I recieved the call to action at 10.50pm and rallied to the cause. There was a journey in the planing Ryan, Jo and Robert had decide to walk from Chatswood to Belrose. They were leaving on the next train so I had very little time to get to Wataria Station, I ran most of the way there. I managed to make the train and we continued on the train to Chatswood. Once at Chatswood we started walking to Belrose. We did not let the distraction of the world stop us (internet cafe). But keeped along our way. We walked first to the Roseville Bridge which we sat under and had a picnic. We also played some frisbie. The it was on to Belrose once more. We walked and walked and eventually we got to Grace Ave and there was only 1.13km left. We arrived at Jo’s house at about 2.30am. Had some light refreshment. And continued on in our journey we had done approximately 8km of walking already.

On the return journey we stopped on the Roseville Bridge for a break and to eat some food. And then we continued on the every winding road that is the path between Belrose and Chatswood. We decided on the way back to go via Roseville cause we thought it would be quicker. It was a bit quicker.
We ended up getting to Roseville Station at about 4.38. We missed the first train by about 20 minutes. City Rail then procedded to dog us. Two trains that were scheduled failed to come. We finally got on a train at 5.40 something. Whilst waiting I attempted to buy a Budy but the bottle machine stole the money I borrowed. Robert got a Hot Chocolate and I also decided to get one. Got off the train at Wataria and walked home.

I got to my house at 6.14am. Not a bad nights walk. Particulary for Robert who was doing the walk with injured feet.

I had a dream last night that Howie one some PGA golf match that had a prize of like 2 million dollars. I only found out about it when I was talking to him he hadn’t spent any of it yet. Then I think it was Tom telling me how he was a pro at golf. It was all very odd.

Went and saw Cold Mountain by myself today. Wasn’t a very good movie. It wasn’t so much the plot, or the acting as the dialog. It was dreedful.

The US Civil War seems such a waste. All wars are wasteful, but fighting for your right to have slaves and pride in the South seems just stupid.

So was going to see Cold Mountain, I think this year I might try and see less crap films at the cinema.

What a nice shaped line.

I am staying in at home again tonight. I seem to do a lot of that these days. It doesn’t really bother me to much though. Some nights it’s just easier to stay at home. Besides I have had a cough and I am nearly better and the social option that was presented was looking quite cold ( up the mountains to see Steve play).

I went out for coffee with Howie Chris and Jem. It was good fun. I like them all.
