Hi all,

I never thought I would be the type to have a blog. I'm cool with the idea and all but I guess deep down I thought it was pretentious. I've read a few that were funny/cool and I like writing so why the hell not? If nobody reads it then there will be no one to give me shit about it. If someone reads it and they don't like it then that isn't the worst thing either. Maybe someone might even like what I have to say. Stranger things have happened.What can you even hope to achieve from writing one of these things? A pat on the back maybe? Seems unlikely. Maybe I'll just have to settle for the joy and satisfaction of a nice piece of writing. Do people make money off this stuff? Anyways, read this and tell your friends about it. I'll try not to be boring or lame.

So what should I write about then? I can't just pose semi-sarcastic rhetorical questions all day. I guess I'll go on about shit that has happened to me lately. I finished a year of TAFE. Yay. Honestly, it doesn't really feel like an achievement. I really could have tried harder. I don't even know if it will get me a job. Probably not. Maybe if I finish this course and then go to university, then I will be ready. Whatever. Maybe I should just stop being lazy and write some good shit and get it out there. 

I am probably too hard on myself. I have come a long way this year. There have been ups and downs. I started the whole writer thing and realized that I enjoy it (whether I am any good at it remains to be seen). Had a big break up. Stopped being a naughty boy. Met some cool people. I even realized that I don't really wanna move back to Brisbane. I started exercising a little bit. That is a big one actually. I meditate a bit, for my anxiety, and exercising is something I have found that helps keep me sane and happy. 

Seriously, this meditating stuff is the business. I recommend it to anybody. You can get information on it from many websites or books. I think it is best to get it from a source you trust. If you are down with eastern mysticism, then get in there. If your faith lies in Western psychoanalysis, cool, they have something like it too. Quiet time, breathing, meditation- it's all the same stuff and it's great. Get into it. I have it on good authority that Christopher Walken sits down for fifteen minutes each morning in his airtight glass chamber and contemplates life and the mysteries of the universe. If it's good enough for him, then it's more than good enough for me or you.

Now that I think on it a bit, I know why blogs bother me. It's because I like antagonizing people on the internet, I really do. It's all I really use Facebook for. Maybe this thing  scares me. The fact that I'm not strictly joking around all the time, and I'm trying to produce something that people might wanna read. I mean I'm always bagging people out and making fun of people, I think I might be worried that I have a bit of that coming my way. Bring it on. I probably deserve it. I dish it out like a motherfucker so it's about time I got some back. 

I gotta hit the hay. I am sick at the moment and I have a test in the morning to make up for one that I missed. I plan to do well. That will restore my confidence in my grammatical abilities. Tomorrow- grammar test. Next week- the world.

Hit me with feedback and whatnot.

Until next time, Peace.
