Neighbourhood Grrr

Lying awake in bed last night, I was listening to an argument breaking out across the laneway. I couldn't help but think about what it is that brings people to this point where they are so agressive towards one another.

If we hadn't of closed the window early on you could have heard what it was they were arguing about but you could certainly here the doors being slammed and things being thrown (or at least that's what I imagined).

I couldn't help wondering if it is a certain type of personality that takes people to this point. Or perhaps its an intelligence thing. All I know is growing up I learnt confrontation avoidance from my dad. I now never want to get anywhere near a conflict even when perhaps I should.

It's a hard questions to answer as to the appropriate level of anger. My answer for a long time has been that no anger is appropriate, that anger is a symptom of lack of emotional control. But I know how that this is not the case. I'm learning but I'm still not understanding.

I don't want to slam doors and throw objects at people yet I don't want to completely avoid confrontation either.

Grrr. Does that help?

Just around the corner

Peoples,
So I've been watching these units go up from since when it was two federation houses that I was upset about. I guess Sydney needs more space for the more people and who'd want to live in any house right next to thousands of units...

What do you think then of these? Worth as much as a 70s 2 bedder but pretty spic inside, yet only single bedder. If only we had the money to invest it would be kinda cool.

Just been thinking about future options and stuff thus the real estate posting...

Have fun!

I should point out that I've added another page and more content to my google page. Not that its really important...but hey I'm trying here.

http://rruckley.googlepages.com/

Google, what can't they do?

I've just whipped up a simple homepage with Googles new page creator site. Nice interface and all that jazz that you've come to expect from Google. Makes you wonder what they are going to push through it? Online adds in your own site? My blog already has google ads in it. Not that that earns me any money.

Check out my page anyways. Its here somewhere.

Another cool thing (not that I own any shares) is the http://finance.google.com site. I can get info on all shares that interest me. Slick interface again and I like the news links into the graph. Very nice idea.

Anyways, I'm just sitting here at work waiting for the coffee machine to start working.

I can see my (sisters) house from here!

Well ok it's been a while but something just got my attention:

Google has a UK maps now (well they must have for a while but I didn't know about it!). So first thing I do is look up where my sister lives!

Some of you may have even been there before but here is the map reference anyway:

http://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=54.545086,-2.954249&spn=0.047198,0.084286

She lives past the end of that road to the left of the town. Isn't that cool? Yes its remote but it's very beautiful out there. Makes me wish I could afford to go back and visit!

Well there you have it. Something exciting for almost hometime!
