Olympics 2008…
Well i’m currently sitting on a stool, in a coffee shop… in beijing - and its fantastic.
Saw the opening ceremony last night (alongside another 90,000 or so people)Ā and it was truly spectacular. The amount of work that would have been put into it is phenomenal…
On that note my time is up. Expect more updates when I get the chance and hopefully a more detailed recount when I return… including information on my 24 hour day (with about 13 hours of it in the air).

Spore…
What makes for an easy post that won’t take up too much time that I should be using to study?

A dream of ages.
To further my attempt of regular posting in yet another attempt to try and actually get some regular traffic and maybe even one or two people that know how to comment; I’m writing this post. Hopefully the random title (which is simply part of a line of a poem by an author english is making me study) will serve this post well. One thing i’ve noticed is over the last 2 or 3 weeks i’ve had around 8 users register accounts on my blog. They all have pretty strange email addresses with gmail and their username is just their email address (without @gmail.com). Not a single one of them has commented so- my conclusion is they must be spam.
The question now is what to do? Here is my manifesto: I will delete these supposedly bogus accounts one by one (that’s one a day) until one of them comments. If none of them comment then they will all be gone *insane laughter here*. Moving on. Do you ever get that feeling like you should have done something that you didn’t or something should have happened and it didn’t? Well they’re kind of two seperate feelings but I tend to experience them at the same time. One is the product partially of my overactive imagination and boredom the other is partially from procrastination and a lack of confidence I guess. Drawing this together I do believe that when I’m not out and about doing things and meeting up with people I don’t cope too well.
It starts a bit of a downward spiral which ends up with me being… a word I can’t quite think of. In the end it leaves me feeling down, melancholy and more. Life seems to look just a little bit grey and dull. To try and combat this I try to distract myself- I sleep in, laze around, play games but in the end it doesn’t really help.
I need human interaction. Something exciting, some drama or scandal to light up the world around me. On that note ill end yet another (and completely humourless) ramble.
Until next time…

You know… it wasn’t actually that bad.
You know one problem with this blog is that I’m not entirely free in what I write. You see people who I know read this and hence anything I say isn’t protected by the anonymity of the internet (which isn’t really that anonymous). However i’ve been thinking… so here goes. I’m going to be frank and write freely. Getting to the point i’ve been musing over how some people seem to ‘click’ with the opposite gender. They somehow have this knowledge or comfort with the opposite sex that other don’t, granted most people have this to an extent. Yet i’m talking about those who really have it.
I’m one of the people who doesn’t really have it. Naturally I find it rather intriguing, I can’t help but wonder what it would be like. What gives people this confidence? What is it exactly that makes girls comfortable around a guy and vice versa. Of course this is all from my perspective, so i’m going to stop mentioning the female side of my views… simply cause I don’t have them.
Kind of changing track here, something else that I find ‘intriguing’ are certain people who seem to be full of life. While writing this I have a specific person on my mind but I doubt that she’d ever read this and if they did what of it? You see i’m a quiet, shy, reserved person yet there are these spontaneous, energetic, fast paced people. At this point I wonder again what would it be like to be like that. If I wasn’t this semi reclusive boy who isn’t too great in social situations or making new friends (especially with the opposite gender) and instead I was one of these other people?
In the last few days i’ve had the chance to kind of see a small part of life this way. It looks fun, makes me kind of wish I was like that or had more close friends like that but I don’t really so ah well. Life goes on. Maybe one day I will find myself more like these people that I see, then again maybe I won’t. If you’ve gotten this far… well I hope you don’t think im a sociopath and if you think you’ve been talked about in here well… eh.
Sorry for the wall of text, I really should include some graphics to break up the black and white eyesore. So all of you know… if somehow I have caused offence please realise nothing was meant by it (I don’t see anything really offensive but just in case). As i’ve said in other posts, im really not that weird; i’m just some quiet (slightly desperate… I find it sad that I realise this but seem unable to change it) guy.
You can blame this ramble on study camp… no really.

Beep… Beep… Beeeeeeep…
Now in the interest of keeping this blog alive I’ve decided to write a whole new entry (CPR didn’t work too well). You see I told myself that I’d write more entries during the holidays but at this stage im already over a week in and nothing has been done. That’s procrastination for you.

The Movies.
The other night the film King Arthur was on TV. I was watching it like your average movie watcher and I started thinking… why is life always more spectacular in the films? Where are all those meaningful moments and beautiful people that are constantly plastered into the minds of anybody who watches a movie?

Welcome Back.
Well here is my new blog. For your information my old blog was here.
Now that I’m on my own site (yes the domain name is mine) I’ve had to go through the pain of trying to find a decent free host. I ended up settling with 000WebHost and the situation has been pretty good so far. If ever you’re looking for a free web host - make sure you look at them.
I hope one day they pay me for all that good word… otherwise I’m selling myself out - for nothing.
And on that note I hope to be back here with a real post soon… Speaking of real posts I managed to import all of my old ones =]

Sorry.
I really am sorry for being so inactive, I could blame it all on school and the pressures of year 12… but the real reason is I just couldn’t think of anything even vaguely funny to write about. Even when I had a slightly funny idea I just never ended up writing it…

The DotA’z
Yes well I do play DotA. I’m sorry. I know what it means to deny, last hit, assist, gank, push, rax and much much more - but what can I say, it is fun. For a little bit of background information DotA; (defense of the ancients) is a custom map for warcraft three, the frozen throne. Yes, it is old but blizzards inclusion of the editor has truly kept warcraft 3 alive and allowed for many custom maps like dota…

Belated Easter blog…
Well well, seeming as I have no time management this blog which is slightly related to Easter is late. I’m sure this irrelevant piece of information hasn’t changed the fact that you respect me (hopefully) and don’t want to see me dead (see first bracket) - but don’t worry by the end of this blog that’ll be very very different. You see me and some ‘friends’ went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show… and it all went downhill from there.
