good morning perth! jesus! its been ages since my last blog entry.. so its been almost 3 months since ive felt bored enough to write something.. haha its so bad i couldnt remember my own xanga site address i had to check my msn page..! well what has happened? i dont know really.. went for a surftrip to exmouth.. and lots of time in the reid cafe.. and realised that life is pretty hard.. partying a bit.. but that turned out pretty shit.. studying.. exams are like 2 weeks away.. started salsaing again which was incredibly fun:) realised my hands are totally disfigured.. erm.. think i should get married soon.. before i get too weird.. started helping out in the refugee centre.. had my first class last week.. which was pretty intense. everything you see on TV is real and worse!!realise that i know alot of good looking people but im not one of them... sorry my life is so random.. my room is in a huge mess.. started a saturday baking ritual.. my blue berry muffins got a thumbs down! how dumb must you be to screw up a pre packed  baking mix?? i always find a way to do the impossible.. :( feeling kindda blue lately.. everything seems to have so little consequence, yet so much.. what do i mean? well everything is so impermanent, i know like so many people, probably more than anyone who is reading this.. which sounds super egotistical..but its not.. cause i dont think its anything to be proud off.. but yet i know no one who would go watch a bollywood play with me..!! ahh i dont know.. this week the concept of self confidence became a topic for review.. how confident are you? 2nd big topic: how can you continue giving if you get no returns? 3rd topic: are people evil? 4th topic: can you survive in this world being a good samaritan? 5th topic: should you dumb down to make someone feel better and therefore like you better? (tall poppy syndrome) 1st conclusion: if ever in doubt when your presence is wanted.. always ask yourself why wouldnt someone else enjoy your company? is your character so vile, that people sould treat you like a leper? what disease do you carry? 2nd conclusion: find a worthy cause, and look beyond the parameters of your tiny world. 3rd conclusion: im the most undisciplined, laziest person alive 4th conclusion: should def move out of home. 5th conclusion.. blogging has to be one of the most pointless activities around.. but i do it anyway..

22 degrees..light breeze..sunshine..lots of it! :) it was one of those perfect days where moments come so rapid and in such succession..! had a really long day at uni today.. but it was great fun! game theory especially.. cant believe its such an evil science.. emphatize.. dance with the enenmy and then poke him in the gut with a rusty blunt blade.. haha sounds so ruthless right.. should have made  the lecture MA++ oh wait we're all pretty old .. how am i going to survive in such a cruel world??! apparently, the movie beautiful mind was about this theory--the NASH equilibrium. reckon id have to watch the movie again some time.. been watching way too much TV.. all this bombardment of information. no wonder people are so confused...! second thought.. or question.. do you reckon that universal human rights exists? that is that everyone in the world should expect these rights as birth rites? cultures/ideas are interesting.. because thats what constitutes a society.. down to basics.. what do we inherently know.. at the bottom line.. are we all blank slates? ok that qs is outdated..overused and boring..  we are clearly not..we are born with certain characterisitics.. but as soon as we regain consciousness.. that is when we start seeing ourselves as individuals.. what do we come to expect.. ?? i have been lucky to have lived a life of relative luxury and surrounded by so many who have too. its hard to comprehend what life is like or what to expect when basic needs such as food and shelter or rights such as privacy and respect are deprived of us.. what happens to us at such times of depravation? how would one feel.. even if one never experienced what a good life was and grew up in a place like rhodesia or somalia.. as a child how would you feel? this idea of emphathy so strangely links us to the other.. our common ' humanness'. guess our stand point on what makes us who we are.. nature vs nurture really affects how we percieve the other.. do you think that you feel more than the next person.. deserve better treatment cause ignorance is no longer an adage.. or that indeed all man are similar when it comes down to basics? alright guys! im sorry this is a poorly written blog entry.. i know..! you know when you play tennis and the ball comes at you and the min the ball and the racquet has impact.. you dont even need to look up to know how the return is.. fault!

hi all! after 2 years of convincing myself that my heart will be true to me i finally took the leap of faith and jumped off a really really high tower.. and im alive! bungee jumpin! 101% adrenaline rush! it was fantastic.. seriously the oh so untangible point between fear.. the void.. and the regaining of consciousness..! that infitisimal space of unaccount time is so real.. and alive! its such wicked fun i recommend it to all including the dvd! haha yeah so 3 cheers and a pat on the back for all who have done it.. finally get to join the ranks.. ever realise that there is something out there that is so beyond ourselves... why is it that our world seems so important? why is it so hard to look beyond the boundaries of our comfort zones and be so consumed by our daily rituals of should bes and donts? played a wicked game of tennis today... proabably the closest ive come to a real tennis match.. ive never seen a tennis ball travel at such velocity.. dont understand why im so awe struck by talent but yeah woah.. tennis is a great game.. love it! watched 2 romantic comedies in the last 2 days.. couldnt help it cause thats australian tv for you.. 5 channels and so much time.. haha deniel actually i quite enjoyed it.. which is weird cause im usually on the front lines to boycott such idealistic, unrealistic fairy tale romances.. but why?? why do we always expect the worst, why are we so cynical about perfection? is it because we've all been hurt too many times, is it because we've never managed to catch the perfect wave or experienced the perfect moment? what are we so scared of? why should we be scared of something that we've never experienced? or have but afraid that perfection will always be a mere acquaintance and not an intimate friend.. which is interesting because there always seems to be an air of hostility towards it.. why do we want to make perfection an enemy? which brings us to another chain of thought... i think these emotions.. are technically called descriptive adjectives(?) but unlike nouns similar to verbs are action words not as tangible as running, swimming, surfing but happiness, fear, love.. perfection.. are unknown till felt.. but unlike the former three that seems to have a continuum to it the word perfection has an air of the definitive a motion word with an end.. which sets it apart!.. ? haha ok thats the thoughts of the day.. ive got liek 3 tutorials to do and my workspace is a collossal mess.. adios!

good evening to my unknown existent fan base.. haha this is like my 5th/6th? blog entry and im sure that no one knows it exists at all.. well ill try to publise it soon. cause the very reason i can even bring myself to type this is cause i think the concept of personal journals very very strange.. i mean whats the difference in writing to yourself and talking to yourself? well if you think the latter is normal than, i rest my case.. but i personally think its unhealthy.. maybe thats because ive met many people who are much more interesting to dialogue with than myself... so whats been happening? oh wait before i say more.. quote of the day.. all styles are good except the boring. oh and i have to say the thing bothering me the most to day was how disfigured my hands are! i mean seriously if you were to isolate my hands from the rest of my body youll really think im diseased and be ready to ship me off to the leper colonies.. on that note.. of social segmentation. can anyone truly understand the concept of segmentation? i mean we have all been plumped up with dose after dose of freedom. that i think the concept is soo alien.. i reckon the closest we have to that in our beautiful bubble of first world luxury would probably be the below 18 and the 18 and beyond. well 21 if your american... how can we forget.. ok ill try to be apolitical. which brings us to th next point of social segmentation, which is peer imposed to systematic law based segmentation and ostracism.. can you imagine how horrible that is.. cant quite comprehend.. why? would anyone enforce such prejudices? seriously? its unnatural.. sorry but this dichotomy of natural and unnatural for me is a new and fascinating concept.. but on a really random note.. i need to buy myself a new chair..!
