my dad is outside putting up a new jarrah backgate and oiling it

i'm indoors on a nice warm spring afternoon doing my 2 lab reports in the middle of my study break, with my mind on the garage sale, neglecting my dog who has just dug a hole in the backyard, whilist wishing i was in the sun, or driving down south to a vineyard with james, wishing that my exams werent drawing nearer with each passing breath, wondering if i should go watch a movie with my classmates, wanting to be at the beach and take pictures, and stare up at the sun, or watch senseless dvds with paris hilton the plastic face as the star, or maybe to go shopping in the bright morning sunshine, cant wait to watch the greyhounds tommorrow, and yet again, worrying about the garage sale and if anyone will turn up, hoping that my LC will bond and be comitted, reminding myself that i need to buy boots and wellingtons and also to do lots of work before its all due next week

say that in one breath, well done u!

PETA in singapore

Three PETA activists deported from Singapore over planned protest

Posted: 08 September 2006 2358 hrs

SINGAPORE : Three animal rights activists with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have been deported.

They had planned to hold a demonstration outside a KFC restaurant along Rochor Road.

There was no demonstration.

PETA's executive director Jason Baker, an American, and 20-year-old Canadian Ashley Fruno had planned to hold a naked demonstration outside the KFC restaurant - wearing just a banner - to protest against what they called the fast food chain's abusive treatment of chickens.

In a statement, police said they received a call on Thursday afternoon about suspicious behaviour. When they arrived, they found two banners in the woman's possession. Police said she was reported to have cooped herself in a chicken cage clad in a yellow bikini in Bangkok and went topless outside a KFC outlet in Canada. Separately, police on Friday received another call about a Filipino woman, Astudilo Sonia Gueverra, behaving suspiciously in Bencoolen Street.

Based on their profile and records, police assessed they would all be participating as PETA activists in an anti-KFC campaign without a permit. Immigration authorities had cancelled their Social Visit Passes and they were asked to leave Singapore by Friday.

At least two of them were believed to have left the country on a flight on Friday at about 3pm. The police statement added it would not allow any individuals or groups whose presence may compromise its security arrangements for the IMF/World Bank meetings. - CNA /ls

sermon on the mount

Ive been reading the Sermon on the Mount.

And i find it interesting that i know so many of the verses yet i find it so hard to practice them. Here are 2 of my grestest problems and the verses in Matthew chap 6 and 7 that speak about it. Clearly God is trying to reveal them to me again. Amazing how seemingly 'dead' words on a page can speak so clearly to you sometimes.

Do not worry

27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Judging others

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
