Volcanic Eruptions!
This year I have decided that I would like a different job, something that would sustain me through school, but something that I can have some fun doing... so Ta-da I am now attending Bar tending school for a few short weeks in preparation for my glorious career as a bartender. HELLO TAX FREE TIPS!
Anyhow, this week has been hectic with regular University ( mostly night classes) and bar tending school ( of course during the day cause that's my free time) plus some other projects and family and friends... and oh yeah I still have to study for all that. It is during these difficult and often exhausting times that I often let my mind wonder ( so I procrastinate a little, get over it) what I would be doing in a year, two and so on. And oh boy do I want to do everything, somebody dear to me once commented that if they allowed people to jump out of a plane into a volcano over flowing with lava, with a canoe and canoe out of that thing, I would probably do it. Which of course, they are absolutely right!
Doesn't that sound like fun?
The truth of the matter is, Life is just too short to sit around and day dream about things. Its all about being actively involved. Don't get me wrong its nice to day dream... but its even nicer to actualize those dreams. Everyday, I try to do at least one thing that brings me closer to my dreams... it exhausts the hell out of me... ( heck I even passed out today... thank god that mum was home... my heart just went berserk) but I honestly don't know what else I would be doing if I wasn't pursuing things that I want. Sure sometimes I wish people were on the say page as me... but its not a necessity. LIFE IS JUST TOO FUCKING SHORT and I'M GRABBING THE BULL BY THE HORNS! DON'T MESS WITH ME LIFE. I WANT WHAT I WANT AND I WANT IT NOW!!!
On another note, I am very proud of myself, I have dug out the old sewing machine yesterday, and made two marvelous laundry bags... pictures will follow because I have the need to brag about my sewing skills... muhahaha. I love working with my hands ( get your minds out of the gutter people) there's just something so satisfying about it!

Round table gathering
Countless smiling faces sitting around the table, all have some resemblance to you, you who sit next to me. Their joyous chatter and playful manner makes me smile, fills my heart with warmth and leaves me content. I turn to see each as they speak and love them instantly, solely based on the connection they have to you. Your concern with them becomes my concern, I feel them grow on me as I have let you grow on me and each and every one of them becomes part of my life,part of me. I feel the danger rising, if I were to lose them, if something were to happen to one, I would surely hurt.
I let my mind wonder, what have I done to deserve such good company, what god have I pleased to gain so many good people in my life. And when will I lose such favour, and be left empty and alone.
When will I lose you?
When I lose you, I know I will lose more than just you. I will lose more than your freckles, your sweet smile, your laughter and your good company; I will lose their good company, their smiles, and their laughter. Destruction will come from all sides and I will be blown to a thousand smithereens. You have ensured this. Sitting here, I know it’s too late, the wheels are in motion. The End is Inevitable.

Working Hard Baby...
So I have a few projects lined up already and some are underway, over the next few weeks I will be sharing with you my little tings that I do to improve my life, just the little things, not the big things. Also this blog is no longer anonymous, I will be letting ya'll into my life so you may share my pains and triumphs and hopefully you will share yours with me. On that Note...
I have realized that my past effects my present and future. Many years ago, I used to play rugby in high school and dislocated my shoulders. Being the stubborn kid that I was, I refused to seek medical attention on the bases that treatment would end my rugby career, which eventually happened anyway. But since then I have had reoccurring, back, shoulder and neck pain. Most of the time its not as bad, but this week its bad to the point of tears. Yes my dear friends I have cried multiple times, on account of the pain. I have even had to enlist my sister's help to get me out of bed, after my afternoon nap. Which got me thinking, what would I do if I were to lose the functionality of my upper body ( god forbid) due to my stupidity as a kid? Today had proved to be an emotionally trying day, it made me feel helpless and afraid. I have discovered a fear beyond my worst fear, which is ending up alone for the rest of my life, it is being physically helpless and dependent on others. So, Part of my New Years Resolution is to take care of myself and never ever let my stupid feeling of invincibility over power rationality. Working hard and achieving goals is all well and dandy but it is not worth my health. SO raise a glass to a healthy balance in life of working hard.

My Dears and My Years
2011 is full of resolutions and objectives and dreams and desires. The end result of which is to just be a better and more happy person. It is to have no fear when pursuing happiness, and to view mistakes as a learning experience rather than this awful end of the world thing. My christian up bringing makes me seek perfection in myself, and others and shun those things that are by nature seemingly imperfect. But this preoccupation with the "Right" thing makes me lose perspective and often hinders my growth as a person, hinders my progression. I shouldn't be worried about doing the "Right" thing, but with doing whats right for me. Who, says that to desire companionship is sinful and prideful, or to want money to live comfortably and worry free, greedy? How many times have I agonized about wanting something and had to apologize for my wants? Countless. Well no more in 2011. I resolve to continue wanting what I want, but also letting go of the guilt of these wants and just follow them. Put them into action. I have waited long enough to be an adult, but once I got here nothing seemed to change, especially my childhood upbringing that kept me down on the ground. I say No More. Bible I like you, but i will not condemn others cause they condemn me, and I will not judge others as well as I will not judge myself. I resolve to live ethically, by my own virtues and values, but I will not apologize for what I am and what I want out of this life. Instead I will accept it and Live Freely.
