So I am overdue for an entry! More than a few things have happened since my last entry but I will try and hit the main points.

As I`m sure many of you have already heard about on the news, there has been some pretty hurendous bush fires around Melbourne in Australia. The first day of the fires the entire sky was yello here, I thought all day that we were going to have a massive storm, but he erie color just stayed all day, and later that day on the news we recieved an explanation. Over 300 hundred people have been killed with many many more homes destroyed.  It was one of those days where I was feeling sorry for myself and how bad my back was, and then you see something like this happen and it really puts your life into perspective.

The second day of the fired they interviewed a man who lost his wife, son and son`s family in a matter of seconds in the house right next door... where he was perfecttly fine right next door .  Now all he is doing is trying to help others cope and figure out how this can be prevented or dealt with better the next time. People said in many cases in was just a matter of luck, one side of the street untouched and ther other completely destroyed. They are saying the fires were caused by arson and they are in the process of an investigation. So in a situation like this you realize how lucky you are, and what you take for granted.

On another note, I have been continuing my education in various eastern medical practices including Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Herbalism and other various Holistic medicines. .   I have also been chatting with people at the health foods store and taking daily Wheat Grass shots.My friend Zanna has also been trying out some Matric Intervention on me. More details on all the above are available upon request. 

Back Update. I have finally reached a breaking point with my back.. its not getting much better and physically/mentally I cant really deal with the pain anymore. So plan is as of 5:00am last night is getting the earliest flight back to to heal and then make a second attempt back here once I am fully healed. I`ve realized I have to stop being "macho, strong, etc" and realize I just need to get home, get better and try again. Aparently you really cant plan anything in life.. just have to roll with it. Soooo, I will give another update when I have flight information.
