Who are you? Why are you …? Ahhh, I don’t even know what to say. I’m sitting here behind my screen feeling blocked, unable to write the words I desire, so stuck in my head.
Why can’t I do this? Is it because I forgot to eat breakfast? Maybe it’s my sore back?
Most likely, it’s the guilt from the unrest I directed at my wife 10 minutes ago that was entirely a product of my stress and nothing to do with her.
On my last local spearfish, at Whale Island, a large Bronze Whaler shark came cruising below me. It swam slowly and yet with great power, gracefully but with intent. Encouraged by the shark’s calm demeanour, I slipped beneath the surface to meet it several metres underwater. Unfazed, the shark swam on, each powerful swing of its tail effortlessly pushing the creature through the water. I admired it as I attempted to keep up. Impressive muscles flexed as rays of sunlight danced upon the shark’s shiny copper skin. This kind of encounter is not uncommon for New Zealand spearfishers and is seemingly becoming a more common occurrence
Hi!! My name is Pia Rogers, I’m a surfer from Whangamatā. This trick is called a backhand snap, mostly performed by intermediate surfers as it
It never ceases to amaze me how young minds soak up knowledge naturally through play and interaction. A child can learn several languages at the same time and not confuse them when speaking. But suddenly, at age five or six, they are required to slot into an education system and change the way they learn, often being forced into learning styles that don’t suit their abilities. Of course, with classes of 25 or more, teachers are restricted in how they teach.
I used to have a strange kind of superiority complex when it came to voting. The first time I voted in a general election, I took the time to teach myself how voting worked, what I was going to be voting on, and what I wanted to vote. I judged other 18-year-olds so harshly for not voting, and I wouldn’t listen to any excuse. While I still think that in a perfect world everyone would use their vote, I now understand that not every 18-year-old has the time and energy to do so.
