Sometimes I am amazed that I live in the same world as everyone else

Bugger me - I thought I was connected and in touch with the world and I missed something I really wanted to do - AGAIN!!! This is a recurring theme.

In 2006, it somehow escaped me that Melbourne was running the Commonwealth Games (well I knew about that bit), and auditioning dancers for the opening and closing ceremonies. I did not find out about the auditions until they were all done and dusted, and just about EVERYONE ELSE I KNEW knew about it, auditioned, and got in! I would have been at the very least, a Dame Edna, because no-one got knocked back. No-one. I could have been a sweet heart girl but they only wanted under 30's so I didn't go to that audition. This would have been a dream come true for me and I bloody well missed it.

In 2009, I just read a comment on Craig Harper's blog, which I read almost every day, and someone mentioned that Ekhart Tolle was speaking at Melbourne Convention Centre. Spoke. Already. I would have loved to go. I've had trouble finishing his book - I kept getting lost, but would have loved to hear him speak. How is it that I read motivational blogs, get spam emails from Ticketek and Ticketmaster and missed it. Because I rely on the electronic media to find out this stuff.

Oh that's right - I have no social life with people on the same kind of path as me. I don't think I know anyone else in real life that would know who Ekhart Tolle is (apart from my partner). I've certainly never talked about him to other people.
