Partly continuing off from my last post with the lone Moon photo I took, I’ve got acouple more shots to share that I took late evening yesterday.
These shots were originally color, but I converted them over to Grey-Scale because it gave me better resolution of the Moons features.
This isn’t a Full-Moon, but because I didn’t zoom past the telescope eyepiece on my cam it just looks that way.

Finally a near clear sky decided to swing my way the other night for the first time since I bought a new Telescope, so I decided to see if my Camera was up to the work of taking Astro photos.
Take in mind that this is only a photo of one, the bats in the digicam decided to die on one photo, and I had to handle it with a shaking hand because it was 4C at 6AM..way too cold, I’m currently constructing a Camera Mount to connect it to my telescope so I can take sharp photos, but for now, atleast I know it works fine with my Canon.
Now in reallife, I’m still recovering, slowly but still progressing good, but with one little not so good thing.
When I was rushed via Ambulance to 2 different Hospitals and was in a Coma for several days, I still had my Contact Lenses in all of that time, when I came to from the Coma, I still had them in and neither the Doctors nor the Nurses decided to take them out, the end result of that was that they bonded to my Cornea, it took me a day to removed them and about a litre of Saline, but I thought it was all fine afterwards…
After some pretty bad pain with my right eye for a several weeks it all went away, but alas the pain did not the damge, when I went to see my optometrist yesterday for a checkup, found I had severe Cornea scarring caused by an infection because the Lenses were left, the cut in my cornea healed, but the infection didn’t clear up causing severe scarring, and now, I can’t fucking wear Contact Lenses anymore and the vision in my right eye is screwed because of some idiot doctor who couldn’t see the blue tinted lenses in my eyes when they did Pupil dilation checks 5 times a day when I was in the Coma…fucking idiots.
Ahwell shit happens, I was 5 minutes away from death and went into Cardiac Arrest 3 times, I should really be greatful that I’m just alive lol

*Ends bitching session*
Later, all.

Hey, Everyone.
I’m sorry for the recent downtime and the lack of communication in the last month, it hasn’t been a very good time for me lately.
I did something very stupid in June last month, and the end result of that stupidity ended up with me being locked away in a Mental Health Clinic for several weeks when I was released from the ICU while in Hospital.
The Clinic was so boring it wasn’t funny, they stuck me in there when I was Sane, I am pretty sure I left that place near Insane, I was crawling the walls near each day, it was that boring, lame, and just not the place for me to be that the only thing that kept me going each day was a book a good friend I met up with while in there gave me to keep my time occupied.
The cause for the downtime was that I wasn’t online to Authorise Paypal payments, and I guess that during that time my Server was cancelled by my old provider (I don’t blame them, non-payment by client with no communication. For the time being with them, they are a great server provider, I recommend them, XL-Host is very good), I’m currently up and running once again on a back up hosting account I’ve had for quite some time, it was still running because I accidently paid for 2months via Paypal before being locked up, thank god that I did.
I’m slowly recovering from what happened, not what happened in the Mental Health Clinic, but from my stay in the Intensive Care Unit in Hospital, my brain is pretty fried and I’m suffering from constant Brain Zaps and severe memory loss.
For now this is it, just wanted to keep you up to date.
Hope you’re all doing good!
Isaac.

I aint really got very much to post about these days, life is pretty quiet at the moment, which is something I am enjoying very much so.
As for my job, I’m still currently employed by the same firm, instead of a full resignation I was asked if I would like to have a more “slower” position in another department instead of the 24/7 position I held before.
I accepted the offer and put off my resignation for probably…not sure yet.
Other then my job, really got not much more to post about, I’ll leave you with a photo of me at night, nothing special.

Hope everyone is doing great!
Isaac.

Edit: I would like to say Thank You to the people who provided in the comment section the name of the band that this song is in.
And a big Thank You to an Online mate of mine who looked at the comments and saw the band name and tracked down the Album it was on, he graciously downloaded it and sent the song over to me, which I will now provide over the bad MP3 I made before from the damaged CD.
Girl Overboard - The Love we Make | Sung by: Lisa Schouw
——–
For 8 very long years I have been hunting this song down…I exhausted just about every avenue to look for it as it seems it isnt anywhere on the net, not even the lyrics, just nada…
Lyrics:
On the streets of pity
They ride the circus train
From the heart of the city
If it beats well it beats in vain
someone light a candle to keep out the cold
they’re begging on the corner
you know they’re praying for gold
go down when the fire dies to watch the rivers rise….
Without the love we make our backs will break and the walls will come tumbling down
Without the love we make our world will shake and the walls will come tumbling down
Make way for the keeper its not safe inside
Crashes of/on the window/s like a rackless tide
pray under the strangest skies to watch the river rise
Without the love we make our backs will break and the walls will come tumbling down
Without the love we make our world will shake and the walls will come tumbling down
Without the love we make our backs will break and “the walls will come tumbling down” Back Singers
Without the love we make our world will shake and “the walls will come tumbling down” Back singers
Well on the streets of pity
they ride the circus trains
from the heart of the city
if it beats well it beats in vain
Without the love we make our backs will break and the walls will come tumbling down
Without the love we make our world will shake and the walls will come tumbling down
Without the love we make our backs will break and the walls will come tumbling down
Without the love we make our world will shake and the walls will come tumbling down
…..Continues on acouple more times until song finishes.

I was going through acouple of boxes of stuff today and this little photo came popping out at me:
This would probably be one of the earliest photos of me, not sure to why I’m posting about it, just struck me when I looked at it, memories of old times came flowing back.
That’s my Mom holding me, the Girl on the left of my Mom is my Sister, the one next to my Sister I think might be one of my cousins, and the others I have no clue, but then again, my Mom did look after Foster Children so yeah, could be acouple of em.
In other news; I’ve slipped 2 Discs in my back acouple of days back while installing a new DSL Phoneline in my roof, I had a bad enough back as it was because of a serious car accident awhile back that involved me going through a windscreen at 90MP/H, I know I shouldn’t of been doing extreme climbing and bending my back in half, but I really needed that line in…and it also didn’t help that I had to dig a deep hole in solid clay/dirt to bury one of my families dogs ;_;
Ahwell, I’m taking a small breakwhile I wait for my back to recover, and also the Discs were manuvered back into place with a great deal of “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOLY MOTHER FUCKING CUNTS GET THE SHITTING FUCK AWAY FROM ME BEFORE I SLIT YOUR FUCKING THROAT AND JAM YOUR STOMACH UP YOUR ASS” type pain (I don’t take pain relief stronger than a normal Nurofen/Ibuprofen pills).
Laters!

Guessing you’re a little weirded out by the photo of my eyeball at the end of this post…and to why the hell I’m writing about it.
Like most other posts, I only do post when I have an urge to, and that is quite rare, but alas regardless of the subject of the urge I’ll post it anyways.
Most to all readers, which also extends to my friends, coworkers, family and etc know of my history of drug use and alcohol abuse, with some other side-effects of the use of all these toxic drugs and substances still remain very much visible even after being clean for near a year now.
One of the side effects (the subject of this post) is that of the change of my Iris color in each eye (more so in my left eye) to that of the centre of my Iris has changed to mix of brown and yellow.
Before my heavy use of drugs I had complete green eyes, it wasn’t until after I cleaned myself up and looked into a mirror with the sun partly on me did I notice the drastic color change…I didn’t know it was possible for ones Iris color to just change in color in acouple of years in later life (I know of with babies and young kids it is common).
The condition is called “Central Heterochromia“, found that out when I was getting my new contacts fitting at the Optometrist and she commented on the color of my eyes, it can’t be reversed…but I don’t mind the recent new color, it’s pretty sweet actually.
Photo Notes: On the outside of the Iris on the white part you will notice a faint blue line/circle, that’s just my contact lense, the type for sight correction, not cosmetic reason (Tinted very light blue for visibility when taking in and out)

Click for Full-Size. (I do note how creepy it looks…)
And on that…catch you next time on series #2 of my fucked up body parts from drugs!

Rants/Real Life on
May 5, 2008
It’s rare that I rant about reallife problems and drama online, but I feel the need to post this for some odd reason.
Beginning back to the start of last year, I have been doing many jobs and chores of the local police in the towns that I have lived in, unofficially that is I mean, as they seem to have nothing better to do then sit on their asses all day and force the public to sort the problems out instead.
I mean these arnt just small little things, these problems are with people doing break and enters, car theft, cogging and smashing cars, drug fucked idiots screaming and smashing things up, drugged up and drunk kids (15-17 Year olds) with cars and etc, and each time I have had to sort these people out myselfs as ringing the police to do something about it is a waste of time.
Take for example lastnight; there was a stolen car parked outside my place all day (Wasn’t sure if at first it was stolen so I just left it be), it was pretty obvious it was stolen, busted rear window, front panel damage, keys left in the ignition etc etc, the local police knew as I saw the report lodged, but they did nothing.
So come night time and what did I hear? 10-12 kids in the highschool oval behind my place yelling and laughing…then I heard the car…they stole an already stolen car and was cogging and smashing it up in public grounds for the last half hour, and neither nothing was done about it, neither police gave a shit, so I had to sort that out when I finally managed to call them…they seemed not to care what I was saying and they could hear what was going on outside via the phone, and it wasn’t until I mentioned my Security Credentials and who I worked for that they took notice, got the line straight to the Deputy in Charge and less then 3minutes later…hello squad car.
We all pay taxes, we all pay their wages, we give and give more and more…but they can’t even do their fucking jobs and send out 1 car to have a look on what’s going on, I mean this town has 15000 Population (Yes, 15 Thousand) and it has 8 Unit cars, and they couldn’t send one out?
Ignorant Police, I’ve had come to a rescue to a break and enter at the end of last year because noone turned up, i’m not the strongest person anymore as my medical condition is degrading more and more, I know how to fight, but I can be knocked back pretty easy these days.
One day I hope the Police Force gets retrained or replaced as I see nothing that will be improved anytime in the coming future.
That’s all from me, and I do apologise for the rant, just had to get it off my chest.
Isaac.

What is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that randomly attacks the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The progress, severity and specific symptoms of the disease cannot be predicted; symptoms may range from tingling and numbness to paralysis and blindness. MS is a devastating disease because people live with its unpredictable physical and emotional effects for the rest of their lives.
Who gets MS?
Twice as many women as men have MS, with the onset of symptoms occurring most often between the ages of 20 and 40. Studies indicate that genetic factors may make certain individuals more susceptible to the disease, but there is no evidence that MS is directly inherited. It occurs more commonly among Caucasians, especially those of northern European ancestry, but people of African, Asian and Hispanic backgrounds are not immune.
How many people have multiple sclerosis?
An estimated 2,500,000 people in the world have the disease MS. The National Health Survey of 2001 indicated that there are approximately 15.000 Australians with MS.
———
Now for me to do some writing.
You do not have to donate money to do any service, all you really have to do is just do a little light reading on the subject of Multiple Sclerosis just to get an insight into what the Disease is, it may just help you a little later on in life when you may have to face a friend, family member, partner or Co-worker who has the disease, and it would greatly if you knew what to say and how to face it ith a smile and a helping hand without stumbling over your words.
That’s all I really want people to do, not much time needed, 10-20minutes out of your day…out of 1 entire day, I think you can do it just a little justice to do a little reading
Thanks to everyone who has read this post and have decided to do some light reading on the Disease, it is much grateful.
Stay good, all.
Isaac.

How’s everyone been lately? Hopefully all doing well!
I’ve got some pretty personal things in my Real Life that I need to sift and sort through for awhile, I’m taking leave from my job and I won’t be posting or chatting to people that much online for quite some time.
The eye test I had today to have my Optic Nerve checked to see if anything has changed over the past year, the results came out to something that I was expecting, but never thought would of happened this soon…well I more or less denied to myself it wouldn’t happen.
This result doesn’t just impact my vision, it impacts a lot of other things also, it tells me that I’ve had a relapse and that my neurological functions are being affected at a fast pace; I’m having difficulty with my speech with not being able to say common words and I stop in mid stride, my Central Nervous System is weakning to the point that my left leg is giving out on me, and many other things affected but are too personal to mention.
I’ll still be online and will still be around in Real Life and the Internet, the reason I post these blogs is not just because of Internet Status, but also for my family as they don’t get to see or hear from me that often and they like to see what I’ve been upto and how I’m going, stuff along those lines.
That’s all from me, I’m pretty damn tired and need to get acouple of years sleep, hope everyone is doing well.
But before I take off, I’ll leave you peeps acouple of photos taken recently.
#1-Me gazing mindly in the distance. #2-Me and my Doggie #3-Me and my Cigarette



Stay Cool.
Isaac
