Parental Advice

Now i'm not going to win any prizes for the best son of the year award but i will tell you one thing. I may never call my mum (just like every other son out there) and frequently lie to them about almost every single detail in my life but strangely enough, the thing a friend once said about me is probably true - i'll always be a mummy's boy.

Underdog Stories

Now i know that after that terrible dog movie involving a superhero dog, the term 'underdog' has probably got taken down a few respect points but nonetheless i still find that i, just like every other aussie out there, loves a underdog story. Something about giving people a fair go, some David vs Golitarth story seems to get to me. Key such classic Australian movies like 'The Castle' or 'Footy Legends' featuring even more famous actors far too famous to name here. Regardless of how terrible the Australian movie industry is, underdog stories form one of my fundamental ideals.

A Month On

Well, it's hard to believe that it's almost been an entire month since i moved to this god-forsaken place and so much has already changed. It's like the saying goes - some are born great and some have greatness thrust upon them. Well i'd like to think i was born great all the time however the reality is that you only become great through experience - and of course, i'm exaggerating how much of a hole this place really is because honestly, you don't need to be too great to survive here, i mean i'm still (barely) alive.

(Re)newed Experiences

This week has been a week of firsts - first week of university, first time clubbing, first time skating, first time i've begun reading again after the last text i read which was prescribed for High School English. I suppose it isn't too late to learn something new ("you can't teach old dogs new tricks" is a very deceitful saying) and it isn't too late to pick up a ex-hobby. University, well that's been a eye-opening experience indeed since no longer are you spoon-fed or looked after, everything is autonomous - scraping in that pass, or failing epically. This will definitely be an interesting year filled with renewed experiences.
