It’s been a long time coming
So today I passed my drive test, and got my P's. It’s been a long time coming, but I got there. WOOT!

Twenty Something
My whole life is right in front me.
I can go anywhere.
Two whole decades can’t prepare you for the moment,
When the page is blank before you,
And you’re barely even twenty-something.
Nothing’s standing in my way.
No one’s holding me back.
College ended and there’s no one here to tell me
Not to hit the bars and rent some cars.
I’ll fuck around
But then I’m gonna change the world.
It’s the generation twenty-something ascending.
We might be young. We might be poor.
But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.
Who knows what that’ll be?
But we’re ready to discover
If there is life after the Wii.
‘Cause as long as we’re still young and fresh
And twenty-something, we’re free.
This is it. This is what’s hot.
It’s your moment. It’s your decade.
But you’re only twenty-something til you’re not.
Hurry up. Do it now.
If you don’t, if you blink,
Then it’s over.
Show me something I can get behind.
And I’m already there.
I have more free time than I know what to do with.
I’m in twenty different places
But I guess it’s ’cause I’m twenty-something.
Single with a bach’lor pad.
Now I just need a job.
I’ve got time to kill until my life becomes more real.
The time is now for wearing heels,
For roommates, drugs,
For chance encounters.
Raise a glass to the generation twenty-something ascending.
We might be young. we might be poor.
But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.
Who knows what that’ll be?
We’re the target demographic.
We’re the reason for tv.
We’re obsessively and definitely twenty-something and free.
Don’t think about tomorrow,
There’s enough to do today.
I’m young, smart, on my way.
This is my day.
You blinked.
You’re not twenty-something.
This is it. This is what’s hot.
It’s your moment. It’s your decade.
But you’re only twenty-something til you’re not.
Hurry up. Do it now.
If you don’t, if you blink,
Then it’s over.
Don’t think about tomorrow,
There’s enough to do today.
I’m young, smart, on my way.
This is my day.
You blinked.
You’re not twenty-something.
Raise a glass to the generation twenty-something ascending.
We might be young. we might be poor.
But we know we deserve much more than what our parents have.
Who knows what that’ll be?
When you’re twenty you’re just starting…
When you’re twenty-four…
You’re twenty-five…
You’ll never feel more perfect when life starts at twenty-three.
Because we’re ready and we’re waiting
And we’re twenty-something and free.

What happened in your birth year?
This website http://whathappenedinmybirthyear.com/ that i stumbled on with Stumbleupon! Allowed to look at the year you were born, or any year really, in a story like manner, and it's really beautiful.
In 1990, the world was a different place.
There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or Stumbleupon, for that matter.
In 1990, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Ghost. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.
Remember, that was before there were DVDs. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty.
Do you know who won the Oscars that year? The academy award for the best movie went to Dances with Wolves. The Oscar for best foreign movie that year went to Journey of Hope. The top actor was Jeremy Irons for his role as Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune. The top actress was Kathy Bates for her role as Annie Wilkes in Misery. The best director? Kevin Costner for Dances with Wolves.
In the year 1990, the time when you arrived on this planet, books were still popularly read on paper, not on digital devices. Trees were felled to get the word out. The number one US bestseller of the time was The Plains of Passage by Jean M. Auel. Oh, that's many years ago. Have you read that book? Have you heard of it? Look at the cover!
In 1990... The Leaning Tower of Pisa is closed to the public due to safety concerns. Time Warner is formed from the merger of Time Inc and Warner Communications Inc The United Kingdom and Argentina restore diplomatic relations after 8 years. Police seal off Brixton in South London after another night of protests against the poll tax. East Germany holds its first free elections. The United States begins broadcasting TV Martí to Cuba. Portrait of Doctor Gachet by Vincent van Gogh is sold for a record $82.5 million. The parliament of the Russian Federation formally declares its sovereignty. The Detroit Pistons defeat the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Finals. Underwater volcano Mount Didicas erupts in the Philippines. In Rome, on the night before soccer's 1990 FIFA World Cup, the Three Tenors sing together for the first time. The event is broadcast live on television and watched worldwide by millions of people Alberto Fujimori becomes president of Peru. Nintendo releases the NES game Super Mario Bros. 3 in North America. The video game of the day was Final Fantasy.
That was the world you were born into. Since then, you and others have changed it.
The Nobel prize for Literature that year went to Octavio Paz. The Nobel Peace prize went to Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. The Nobel prize for physics went to Jerome I. Friedman, Henry Way Kendall and Richard E. Taylor from the United States and Canada for their pioneering investigations concerning deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons, which have been of essential importance for the development of the quark model in particle physics. The sensation this created was big. But it didn't stop the planets from spinning, on and on, year by year. Years in which you would grow bigger, older, smarter, and, if you were lucky, sometimes wiser. Years in which you also lost some things. Possessions got misplaced. Memories faded. Friends parted ways. The best friends, you tried to hold on. This is what counts in life, isn't it?
The 1990s were indeed a special decade. The Nineties saw the beginnings of the World Wide Web, originating at CERN. Email becomes popular. The Soviet Union dissolved. Living standards in East Asia and Europe generally improved. The Cold War ends. Iraqi forces invade Kuwait. A UN coalition force led by the US was sent to the Persian Gulf, and aerial bombing of Iraq began. The Kosovo War took place. The Ethiopian Civil War ends. Dolly, a sheep, is cloned. The Global Positioning System GPS becomes fully operational. Genetically engineered crops are developed for commercial use. Intel develops the Pentium processor. The Java programming language is created. Microsoft released Windows 95. In Los Angeles, riots occur after the police brutality case involving Rodney King. Great Britain hands sovereignty of Hong Kong to China. East Timor breaks away from Indonesian control. US president Bill Clinton was involved in the Lewinsky scandal. Dogme 95 becomes an important artistic movement in European film. Teen soap Beverly Hills 90210 has its long run. Baywatch becomes the most watched show in history. On MTV, reality television makes its beginning. Nelson Mandela is elected president of South Africa. Germany was reunified. The prediction of computer bug Y2K spreads fear.
Do you know what was on the cover of Life that year?
Do you know the lyrics? Do you know the tune? Sing along.
There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. It doesn't care about time. It doesn't know about time. It shouts and it plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid.
When you were 9, the movie The 13th Warrior was playing. When you were 8, there was The Parent Trap. When you were 7, there was a Disney movie out called Mulan. Does this ring a bell?
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... it's 1990. There's TV noise coming from the second floor. Someone turned up the volume way too high. The sun is burning from above. These were different times. The show playing on TV is America's Funniest People p. The sun goes down. Someone switches channels. There's The Bradys on now. That's the world you were born in.
Progress, year after year. Do you wonder where the world is heading towards? The technology available today would have blown your mind in 1990. Do you know what was invented in the year you were born? The World Wide Web.
Usin' and confusin' beats that ya never heard
1990, put a smile on your face like ultra bright
You're just fessin' man
I don't even wanna hear about it, you're just fessin'
...
That's from the song Best Foot Forward by DJ Shadow.
In 1990, a new character entered the world of comic books: Gambit. Bang! Boom! But that's just fiction, right? In the real world, in 1990, Emma Watson was born. And Alex Teixeira Santos. Emily Mae Young, too. And you, of course. Everyone an individual. Everyone special. Everyone taking a different path through life.
It's 2010.
The world is a different place.
What path have you taken?

We Are One Body
So over the weekend I attended the Antioch State convention. It was a wonderful experience fill with awesome people, inspiring talks and great times. It was a weekend off, to take a step back from the rush of normal life, to slow down and appreciate.
Earlier this year I attended a weekend for Antioch and although I was really quite sceptical at first, I went it with an open mind, as always, willing to try something new.
The state convention is basically a larger, slightly less jam packed version of the weekend. There were talks, liturgies and meds on Hope, Faith, Mission, Love, The Rosary, Sexuality and Self-image. Topics that wouldn’t normally be discussed in day to day lives, and not ever mentioned at school, for fear of offending. The talks are done by people around the same age, speaking truthfully without of fear of judgement, as there is none to give.
The people at Antioch all share similar values and they are friendly and kind, open and accepting. It’s really a lovely environment.
During one of these med, in pairs we had to answer some questions, they really got me thinking… because at that moment I really didn’t have any substantial answers to share. So with that in mind here are the questions that were posed to us:
- Tell your partner a bit about your life aims
- Describe a relationship you would like to try and improve
- Share a goal you have for the future. Concerns? Plans?
- Gifts that you have that you feel a call to share.
- How has your mood been lately? What struggles will you need to return to after the Convention?
- What gifts would you like to have?
- Share a world issue that concerns you. How can you use your gifts to make the world better?
- Name someone who inspires you… what gifts do you see in them?
I’m not going to lie; I did answer some of them, not to the extent that I wanted to. Some I was not able to answer because I genuinely didn’t know what I could say.
So I’ve decided that an aim that I want to achieve is to be able to answer these questions with clean decisive answers.

It's that time again...
Where we make promises that are made to be broken, say things will change welcome what is yet to come, move ahead and step foward into the new year.
I like this time of year everyone is still laid back and freindly from Christmas, the nice weather is extremely inviting and generally there is a chiperness in the air.
So 2009,a good year I suppose, first year uni, new friends, old friends, family. My year summed up in eight words. Wish it was that easy.
Of course there were disappoinments and down times, but I choose not to remember those times to move foward to carry on and it really frustrats me when people can't do that.
Should I am resoloutions... probally but I'm not gpoing to write them here. In saying that I think I've done well with the resoloustion I made last for this year.
Ohoh, Life goes on. Things will be okay.
So to 2010 I say hello.

Back to the Grind
Three weeks late, my first week back at Uni!
It was nice to get back to uni my chair was staring to get a permanent imprint of my butt. All my classes are new and they are Accounting and Management for Entrepreneurs, Leisure Industry Enterprise management, Leisure and Tourism Marketing and Accommodation Operations Management. How fluffy do they sound! Fancy names does not equal fancy subjects, for instance, Accommodation Operations Management involves making beds. Two of my lecturers are not the most riveting people, and I have a 8 hour Monday which from week 8 is a 10 hour Monday, but I’m not really complaining gets it all out of the way for a four day weekend! Tuesday I have one 1 hour Tute and Wednesday is 11 – 4 but with 2 tute and one lecture that usually finishes early.
After some confusion with the enrollment, my friend Qantas is now doing my course, which is fun, more people to talk my nonsense too!
The assignments are space nicely and I’m going to

Look what I found!
I feel so completely 'blah' at the moment as if my whole life consists of thinking to the future; deadlines, career options, travel dates, flight details, schoolies plans etc. It wasn't until I read something that pointed out to me yesterday that I suddenly realised that I haven't lived in the moment for so long and its about time I started again. Sure its nice to think ahead sometimes but if you do it too much, you miss what is going on right now and never actually enjoy anything.
For me thing has drastically halted, the pace has slowed and I have time on my hands, it's been a very long time since I looked at my hands and and found time.
As for worrying, have you noticed how a good 85% of things always end up working themselves out no matter how much you worried about them at the time? I usually remind myself of that when a problem arises - it really isn't worth it ... 'Que Sera Sera' and 'Life goes on' and all that.
Of course, knowing these things and actually putting them into practice are completely different things altogether. I'm definitely going to aim at trying though.
I awoke at about 9:00am , looked at the time and thought screw it I'm staying in bed. Then at 12 family started to raise themselves and move into the kitchen for breakfast, Bacon and eggs.. hmmmm heart attack food! We haven't had breakfast as a family for about 4 weeks, it was nice, loud, very loud and a little bit squishy even though our table is 8 feet long, i think we were trying to get near the toaster.
After I watched a little bit of YouTube Live which was interesting, and quite well pulled off. They boys bought this drink which is a beer, except all the aspects of the taste of beer has been taken out and it is flavoured, Raspberry, tasty. I went next door learnt to make earrings, then played ball with Milos, now my arm hurts and I think I have bruises on my tummy from the ball hitting there.
Tomorrow, if the weather is nice we are going to have a Bon fire to burn all our year 12 stuff, yes i know not very environmentally friendly, but we are only doing half!
Then it is schoolies on Sunday, hmm i really should pack I'll start tonight putting things it a box or something.

Life goes on....
Ooh Life goes on things will be OK,Life goes on, after all this, after school. Most people are scared because we have never known a life outside of school, of structure, of bells and classes and learning. We never stop learning, so that's one less fear.We have been institutionalised for so long, that we won't be able to stop. I don't think we have been sheltered, so to speak, some more so then other, but we have been protected, rightly so, this is our first step into the life we see all around us, but have not quite been able to grab on to.So we have to take this step. It's so defined. School for 13 years then bang. No mid-way. I don't count Uni, it's part of the rest of life.
Ooh Horhay's gone
Tomorrow is a brand new day,
Everyone makes a couple mistakes,Somewhere along the way....
We all think, oh what's it going to be like? I won't see my friends everyday!
Although we don't like to admit it, in 15 years you are probably not going to be friends with some of the people that you are now. Although there are always exceptions. It's not because you don't want to, or you don't like them, it's the time issue, and the things you have in common, maybe now you are thinking, but we have things in common now. Do you really? Is your common interest right now, School.
Things will be OK. I don't know that, but I can damn well hope they will be. At the moment the future it not looking too bright, what with climate change, over population, fuel shortage and the economic crisis. Hopefully we will have better these problems, so we can live the way we dreamed we would.
Everyone makes a couple mistakes. So what if you do, just pick yourself up and try again. Mistakes are there so we can learn from them, improve, and not repeat them. Without mistakes there would be no progress. Progress is good.
Somewhere along the way.
I have enjoyed this year immensely, although there are things I would defiantly change, if i had the power. It's been good. Memorable. I'm not scarred of what is to come, I'm cautious, I don't like making mistakes. I don't like falling. But if you don't fall, I won't learn how to get up.
So my first step forward onto the way with may bumps and potholes and turns
Be more decisive.
Take control.
I wish everyone the best of luck with their exam and their futures whatever you may choose to do.
