Our dreams have died.

It's the. THE. biggest problem with getting older. It feels like a week ago when I was in school. And you look at the future with hope and a little sparkle in your eyes. And then suddenly you find yourself in the thirties and you are drowning. Drowning in the life that has spun its web around you.

And you realise that this is it. This is your life. And you are lucky because it could have been so much worse. But that dream. That fucking elusive dream...

You just don't have time for it anymore.

What gets to me is how fast the twenties and thirties slip past. I watch VH1 and wonder how these songs can be regarded as "classics" when they were on the radio only last week.
2004 was last week, right?

We're working our arses off enriching people who we (at worst) don't like or (at best) don't even know just to keep our families fed while telling ourselves that the long hours we put in prove how ambitious we are. And that we're making a difference. We're just not sure exactly what that difference may be.

I don't agree that our dreams have died. I think they have devolved as we grew older and more cynical. That is probably worse.
When I was 6 I wanted to be a policeman. At 20 I wanted the police to stay away from my place. 30 came and went with the police not on my mind in the least. At (almost) 40 I'd just like them to show up within an hour of calling them.
 
Eish another friday night and i'm sitting at work and i'm only going home sunday morning so i'm going to be dead tired for fathers day :(. What is everybody up to?
 
I do Scada, Asii and Adroit development and design for 5 mines in rustenburg and Data compiling and IT work which is not even my department :p
 
I suggest that you can say that you have work. Many don't. Rustenburg has been through a really tough time after Platinum mine strikes. Difficult to with weekends when others you know are taking it easy. Tomorrow & Sunday I will be working at home. All stuff for the office which is progressively getting more and more urgent.
 
I need a new ADSL2+ router, my old Billion is about 7 years old and is slowly busy dying.
Any recommendations for a router?

Must have PPPoE Relay/Half Bridge Mode capabilities and Wireless N
 
Morning peoples! Sorry for you guys that have to work this weekend. I'm just so happy that it's finally time to relax! :)
 
Deviant South are bloody awesome. Awesome jewelry, good prices and spot on delivery and customer interaction. Must get to CT so I can visit the shop.
 
Morning peoples!

It was so sad to see South Africa's pathetic Super Rugby season come to an end yesterday. I don't have much hope for the Springboks.

Neither do I. World cup is going to be quite sad... Shocking how the Brumbies managed a final try in the last 2 minutes with only 13 players!

When the Brumbies got that red I really thought the Stormers had a chance but noooo they became even worse. Terrible terrible. I think next year I'll be supporting Montpeillier.
