WARNING: Crap, shit, poo and more negativity!

Ok so I decided to actually pull the thumb out of my ass and update my blog a bit. I feel like I need it to save this terrible day.

My aunt who does healing and feels auras and that kind of stuff that I'm not sure I have believed before but she told me about a year ago that I have a crazy big aura around me. This is not really a good thing. If you have a big aura then that means that you feel the energies off other people a lot easier and get affected by the people around you and their auras and moods. When she told me this, I completely believed her. I have always been a person who gets really upset when other people are upset, get excited for other people when they are really excited and really get affected by positive and negative energies around me. I absolutely HATE it and I wish I could change it. My aunt told me I have to bring my aura closer towards me, my brothers tell me to not be so sensitive and Rhys tells me to not give a shit about what other people think. I have tried all of these and when I try my hardest to think about other stuff other than the shit going on around me, it sometimes works but then there will come that day when everything just kind of becomes too much and I burst and can't do it anymore - that day is today.

I have been slaving away at work. I absolutely love my job but with as with any job, there are always some negatives. Being in the entertainment business, all you are trying to do is to keep fans/customers happy and provide entertainment. However, it is impossible to please everyone and make everyone happy and since people have an incredible urge to find something negative and bad about every thing, which they love to express and you only ever hear complaints. People who are satisfied and happy with their lives don't very often say too much. So just imagine kicking your ass in trying to do the best you can for a work place and trying to satisfy as many people as you can but all you hear back are complaints complaints complaints. Sounds like a lovely life huh? Anyway, like I said, most of the time I just ignore them and some I think I even convinced them and turned them but then there is that one comment that will just put you over the edge. For example, the devastating Queensland floods have been happening for the past week (which also has been depressing) but to try and make it in to a positive, I suggested we raise money for it at our next game. So we got a sponsor on board to pay $100 for every 3-pointer made during the game by either team, as well as pay $5 for every ticket bought at the door and $10 for every family ticket as well as collection tins going around on the night. Most people would think that this is a great idea and it could only receive positive feedback right? WRONG! This chick goes on Twitter and writes: "Every 3 Taipans players hit $1900 goes to QLD Floods. Makes @Adelaide36ers donation seem... little"

I just don't understand how some people think. It is not a competition and every little bit counts! Way to put a downer on a great cause! As my awesome colleague tweeted back to say:

"One of the club's sponsors is doing something great to help victims of the floods - no need to belittle them!"

So glad he put her in her place! I know this little incident does not seem like much but when you have to deal with negative comments all the time, like I said, something like this will just tip you over the edge.

Today was also filled with some other negativity which there is no need to explain since there is no need to spread more negativity around.

Miss my family and friends on a day like today!

Funnily, the song Hakuna Matata just came on my ipod while writing this post. Now that is how to end a day :). "Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase... it means no worriieesss for the rest of your daysss... it's our problem freee philosophy... Hakuna Matata!"

Let's make tomorrow the best day ever!
