			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>It has been a little over two months now since I wrote anything of substance. A &#8220;busy&#8221; time. Or when not busy: complicated. You get that. It&#8217;s all good. So what do I mean by the subject? Well that&#8217;s relatively simple.</p>
<p>Actually no it&#8217;s not. Hmmm. This was meant to be an easy post before bed.<span id="more-267"></span></p>
<p>Ok. So over ANZAC day (and there abouts) a few of us went to PNG. For two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>The <a href="http://rci.org.au/news/#a5473cd2-6a5b-4dad-89d4-4b9fe282bbbe:819">PNG National Rally</a></li>
<li>Walk the Kokoda Track</li>
</ol>
<p>Both of those events were, and continue to be, inspiring &#8211; for vastly different reasons. Reasons that I will not try to write down. It just wont be right, accurate, meaningful, lasting, etc&#8230; they are living inspirations.</p>
<p>That sounds korny. Great! That was the then. So moving on to the now.</p>
<p>I literally flew home into a whirlwind of personal fluff: work dramas were rife and much more importantly there is the &#8220;Prue Chronicles&#8221; (a name I have just coined)&#8230; <em>Have you ever been in a situation where you don&#8217;t have a choice about what to do?</em> Did it bother you&#8230;? In the interests of keeping a little privacy, I&#8217;m being vague: This book of the chronicle will be ending soon. The main plot line is done. Just the last few pages to read&#8230; And I&#8217;m happy/content/consenting with the finish. No problems with that. BUT: It really bothers me there was no <em>real</em> choice! Or that&#8217;s what I had simplified things to be.</p>
<p>What I think is really on my mind is: there is always a choice. And that holds true with the above. Just sometimes there is only one option that you will consider picking. In the end I can be objective: I finally get what I&#8217;ve wanted since the start of the year and maybe a bit longer. You can&#8217;t complain about that <img src='http://andrewbevitt.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>And coming up next we have <a href="http://rickshawrun.theadventurists.com/">The Rickshaw Run</a> in Winter 2010. Basically it&#8217;s a 3000km ride in an auto-rickshaw. And it&#8217;s going to be FANTASTIC. I&#8217;m in the market for fundraising ideas: for the charity donation section. (Or if you&#8217;re keen to sponsor for some other reason that&#8217;d be great too &#8211; note there are some restrictions). So if you&#8217;ve got some ideas please tell me.</p>
<p>Oh and I intend to learn a language from each continent &#8211; no double ups allowed. English, for example, can ONLY be used for one continent. And English is English there is no distinction between US and UK. Blah blah blah&#8230; there is only one, at a push, two people that will actually care I&#8217;ve made rules. But there you go.</p>
<p>And then I think we&#8217;re going to enter <a href="http://www.theshootout.info/">The Shoout Out</a>.</p>
<p>And then&#8230;<br />
And then&#8230;</p>
<p>Well you get the picture. Living life means it moves on (at a speedy laden Riskshaw pace of 25km/hr).</p>
<p>I guess I could just subscribe to the Day of Death calendar (TV ads at this time of night are &#8230; unusual????) and plan it all out &#8211; but where is the fun in that? If I could only take one thing out of the last 2 months of &#8220;life changing stuff&#8221; it would be: no more planning!</p>
<p>Done.</p>
