It's wild that people I used to know in the 90s can disappear, and be unsearchable on the internet.

Hey Melbourne peeps.

Back in the early 90s I knew an artist named Dave Dawson who lived just north of Brunswick St. Very creative fellow, very hands on. Very intellectual about life and psychology.

Then I moved to Texas, and never saw Dave again.

Kind of a long shot, but if you know a Dave Dawson who fits this description in Melbourne, I would love to reconnect with him. There are some people from my early life who I just wanna know how they're getting along all these years later.

Still haven't had time to edit the photos from a couple of nights ago, so instead here's a few more from the night before that. Feb 23 in Norway.

Was one of those nights last night. 5 hours of shooting. Hard drives are full. Left knee is killing me.

Totally worth it.

#EwenInNepal The world has changed so much in my lifetime, and yet some special places like this still exist. They are real. They are alive. Moments like this in the Himalayas make me feel like I'm a small pebble on the banks of a very large river. #SquareMood #LumixS9 #Lumix #Nepal #Photography #Mustang

Every elected member of state parliament should be required to use public transport instead of having govt cars and a driver.

Imagine how this might effect their perception of our society and consequently what their funding priorities should be.

Resharing this meme, as much to remind myself of how important it really is to be aware of how the world around us is changing. And the need for myself to commit to adapting as well.

We tell ourselves it's only temporary. It's just for now. Things will get better.

Sometimes that is true. Mostly it's not. Temporary things have a way of becoming permanent.

You could say that every day is only temporary. But you can't go back and change the past. Every day... this is your life.

Keep reading all these articles about how the Democrats need to realize they are at war and start acting like it. How they need to understand that the current situation is not business as usual.

Problem is, that was true two decades ago.

They needed to act two decades ago. The rules already changed two decades ago. Gerrymandering was being installed wholesale two decades ago. The Supreme Court was being devolved two decades ago. The media was being click baited two decades ago. It's over. This game is already lost.

Each of these junctions were opportunities to address and repair the fabric of democracy before it got torn to shreds. But when you fix a problem before it becomes a problem, most folks won't ever remember that problem, of they even recognize that or was in the first place. They'll pretend it never was a problem.

This is exactly the challenge with climate change.

They put 'sophisticated' in quote marks so maybe the headline is the scam?

Gotta get out and walk more this week.

Doing the things that are good for you seems to be a common challenge for us homosapiens. Our brains engage in all manner of deception and distraction.

I am very lucky, I have the freedom to allocate my time more than most. I work for myself and work from home. It's really just a matter of priorities. The hurdles before me are rather trivial really. An aversion to other people for example. I don't live next door to a national park or anything. An aversion to exercise too. I love the feeling of being lazy and comfy. An aversion to overachieving is my latest thing too. I'm not trying to be amazingly successful or make a shit tonne of money.

I mostly want yummy baked goods or immerse myself in nature. If I can do both at the same time, amazing!

My body needs to be active though. Motion is lotion. I need to stretch and push and resist. It's all downhill without regular effort. I've been recovering from this flu for weeks now and allowing myself to be a lazy lump of lard. Well, it's time to change all that and start being a semi-active lump of lard.

A lot of folks are very dismissive of the AirBnB problem. They don't wanna believe it's an issue.

They look at raw numbers and say things like, "it's only 30,000" homes that are no longer rental properties, just build new ones!"

Which is bollocks anyway. But the other thing they ignore is the quality of housing. These are usually the most livable homes that end up in the hands of AirBnB. Homes that people can no longer buy to live in, or rent. It pushes up the price of everything else in the market. Even shitty homes are pushed out of reach. We end up paying more and still don't have access to something half decent.

AirBnB is toxic to any society. It's concentrating wealth into the hands of a few.

Getting old is my most recent reminder that God does not exist.

I am surrounded by wonderful people who have lived full and rich lives, filled with kindness and love for other humans. And I watch these wonderful people turn old and slowly lose their world. They fall ill, they struggle to maintain independence, or maybe start suffering from mental decline.

And it's terrible to observe. A lifetime of meaning crumbling away, piece by piece.

If there really was some form of divine design, why would such a god create humans to grow wise through their lifetime, only to eventually grow old and incapable over the course of years or decades? Why make people suffer so much at the very end of their lives? It's brutal.

I don't want some fairy tale about an afterlife and fluffy clouds. I want to accept reality and cherish the fleeting moment we have in this world. I just wish the people I care about, those wonderful kind souls, could enjoy the very best of this world forever. A lifetime is not long enough.
