When I started doing this blog I didn't know how it would pan out. After all, like I said I didn't even intend writing a blog but Ben told me to and it's ended up being quite enjoyable and a good way to kill time.
As a result, my posts have been (I think) rather deep and meaningful, and even a touch obscure. That's because I don't like telling people all about my feelings properly. Instead I like to keep people guessing and wondering who it's about or what it's about.
I feel as though, that I need drastically a post that is a bit more upbeat.
I don't like making people think I'm moaning old dickface after all (: because i'm not.
Two cool things happened to me today. I met olympic silver medalist Nick Willis and made him to 10 push ups. He's really really thin in real life. Bet I could still beat him around the track though. JOKES!
And then I walked past Green Peace and got my t-shirt complimented. Compliments are awesome, no matter who they're from. In case you don't know already the t-shirt I was wearing has a picture of two ice lollies, one melted and the other alive with a speech bubble saying "Global Warming Sucks!"
Which it does, so you can see why Green Peace complimented it.
Funny thing is, I met this girl who has supposedly met the PM and she didn't understand it. I think she's one of these reallyreallyreally clever people who always looks for a deeper meaning to things. There isn't one in this case, it's simple :).
Walking through a city with writing on your t-shirt is actually quite an experience. You won't believe the amount of people who were staring at my chest and then having a wee giggle to themselves. I like that. I brought a ray of happiness to a number of people today all by wearing a t-shirt.
That's right, you can make someone happy, even for a split second with something as small as wearing a t-shirt. It's amazing that there are still depressed people out there. I think I should be hired by the Samaritans. I could go around to people's houses with this t-shirt on and just knock on their door. The eyes will be drawn to the t-shirt and I'll make them the slightest bit happy when they find it amusing. They'll realise that they can still be happy.
You know what's scary? University starts in 3 days! 3 days!! I'm officially beginning to freak out a tad. It's a daunting prospect. But I'm still looking forward to it! For the next three years I'll be locking myself in my room and studying the hardest I've ever studied in my life. I won't become president of the world by not studying now will I? HAHA, oxymoron much? Looking forward to locking myself in my room.
Things you should know about me:
1) I'm a hard worker;
2) I never give up;
3) I'm one of the most determined people you'll ever meet;
4) I like helping people. A LOT. May help some people too much in fact but I like it;
5) I miss my friends and family in Auckland.
Was it upbeat? I don't know. Good thing is with these blogs is when I start writing I find it hard to stop. It's enjoyable writing about myself, I don't normally.
To be continued... (More upbeat posts I mean)

Happiness
Somone very close to me once told me that 'everyone will hurt everyone in the end, doesn't matter who it is'.
As a person who relies heavily on the relationships in his life, most notably his friends, who I would do pretty much anything for, I could not comprehend how this could be said. I wouldn't dream of hurting any of them and could not imagine any of them hurting me.
But then I got thinking about it more and more.. Really it's not that much of a deep and profound statement as you would originally think. It's the extent of this hurt that really had me thinking. When I first heard it I thought about every person I meet slowly destroying me in some way y'know? But no. That's not what it's about.
Because, even in the smallest way, they were right. I think Bob Marley sums it up the best - 'Truth is everybody is gonna hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for'.
That statement you could look at in two ways: One you could see it in the selfish 'well I dont want to suffer way' or two you could see it the way that I see. That is to say, that he's utterly right. Every relationship will have it ups and downs; even your parents will hurt you. Even if it's something as small as not letting you go to that party you really wanted to go to. You'll fight with them. You'll argue with them. You'll be pissed the fuck off about it, and you'll feel hurt that they wouldn't let you go.
Small right? You may not think it's a type of hurt, but it's hurt none the less.
Everyone will hurt you eventually, it's just a fact of life. But without that hurt you'll never be able to be happy if that makes sense. If you don't learn from the hurt then you'll never be able to move on, and stop other people doing the same thing to you.
Hurting is not a bad thing, in the grand scheme of things. It'll hurt for a small time but you'll get over it or move on and be even happier.
I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time. =]

The First Post...
The first post.
That most important post.
Better not fuck it up then.
For the record, this was not my idea. I'm not good with things like this because 1) I cba most of the time to write about myself and 2) No-one cares anyway.
=]
But why not, someone might be just a tad interested in what I have to say, and who knows, I may write something interesting one day. And I'll look back in 20 years when I'm President of the World (and I will be so bow down now minions) and think, wow I was one interesting 18 year old.
So are you ready for this? Lets make history.
Fuck yeah we will.
