my day, my adventure, my elephant... yesterday
luke
yesterday i had a rather unusual day…
… it was good to be back rowing on school mornings; we’re going to try and get a school quad happening… that’d be funny, davo along with shore and all them, cept we have a sum total of what, four rowers (well not yet, give us time)
i have my long johns back now, cept they are now sumwhat different… transformed rather
lolthey’re now officially spedo joel murchandise… i cant believe i let them do that!! lol
well the early bus is still canceled!!! forest coachlines are wonderful arent they!!
so today during my 45 min wait, i had coffee with beth KC and hanni (it was good to finally match a face, to several stories, to a blog, to a name, to a person)…
so coffee was good, we made the long johns exchange finally, but they didnt have anything 2 eat or drink though because they had apparently just binged on pizza, lol…
finally taking time out to talk 2 beth was good, come to think of it, we’ve only ever spoken at church and youth group briefly… well anyway, time went sooo fast, i was keeping an eye on it though, because if i missed my school bus, i would have had to walk up 2 the corner of glen st & forest way, and waited for another bus at about 5;30…
so between two times lookin at the time, it went from 2:45 to 2:59!!! so then we headed off to school (she had 2 pick her younger bro up from mimosa), but i was like, meh, i should b fine, the bus is normally 20 min late…
well it turned out to not only be on time, but in fact early, so i arrived to school as the last bus was on its way out, then i suddenly bolted, signaled it down, then spent 2 min trying to convince the bus driver to radio the other bus down… he finally did then said “you better start running” (although he was heading the same direction)… so i bolted with my school bag, massive rowing bag and school folder… i ended up bolting for about a kilometer, then slowing it down to a run for about 500m until when i realised that it hadnt stopped… so then i saw another bus on the other side of the road… i jumped across the otha side and called it down, it turns out that fourtunatly it goes 2 terrey hills, its a forest high bus…so i get on the bus all panting and a bit sweaty, with about 50 mL in my drink bottle…
anyway, i had a great afternoon afta that, i spent it with gordy, we chatted, it was really encouraging, great, wonderful, he’s such a great guy…
and also, im completely over sat nite a week ago!!! everything is fine
im being challenged with humility and relying completely on god, asking for his wisdom and not my own…
i stayed up for a good part of the nite doin maths study, i got 2 bet around 10;30, then realised that there was more 2 do…
oh well, i g2g2 rowing

luke
well, i am about to go to sleep although i have to be awake in 6 hours…
life is interesting…
its good though, can’t wait till holidays, although im already in denial about how short they are :’(…
i spent most of the night at weights for rowing, talking on msn, reading blogs and not to mention talking to mum for an hour about uni… its actually getting me excited!!
oh by the way my ten thousandth word is nolens-volens
anyway, im off, just remembered my quiet time is yet to be had, and i want to try and get some sleep so im off
luke
… sumtimes I wonder if anyone will eva luv me… but then i remember that god is there, and thats got to count for a heck of a lot… and he also has a plan for who i will end up with, my dad prays for them every night, i think i should too… its exciting to know (or not know rather) whats installed for me… all i know is that there is no way it will not be good… sure there will be hard times where i feel like giving up, but in the long run it will be worth it…

School and beyond
luke
well, it is almost certain, i am going to get the lowest HSC mark in the family!!!
well the context on that is that i am pretty sure that i am not going to continue on with school next for years 11 and 12;
i have come to quite a discovery, and i have been doing my research, and i now have narrowed it down to two degrees, a BA from Maquarie majoring in Society, Life and Learning or a BA from Curtin University majoring in Internet Studies or in Internet Design…
so hopefully that will be my next two years full time or 3 years part time… scary stuff…
i’m also thinking of maybe doing the Certificate of Ministry (from Anglican Youthworks) (because i’m really interested in that too) or a Diploma of Music (major piano, at the Con) part time (ie four subjects a year) …
mmm… i’m still working it out, but i think i have figured out what i want to do with this next part of my life, what i want to do now is talk to people in these ocupations and find out what it is like being in those careers, pro’s & con’s etc… shud b interesting, better than wasting two years at school…
tonight was interesting at church, it felt different, good different, it hasn’t felt like this for a long while, i think it partly felt like people didn’t care about the people around them, it was about them and god
, and god was the one and only major focus (kinda makes sense)…i am actually really getting excited about life!! i am so lucky
i cant wait to see what waits for me next!!!it’ll be interesting to see where me and everyone else is in 6 months, i rekon there is going to be a lot of change, and a lot of important decisions…
mmm, i’m listening to john mayer at the moment, its been a while… maybe i shall put him in my palm tomorro, yes, i must…
joel wrote a really good song that he showed us today, gee constructive critisism is hard..!! especially if you really like what you are critisising, and you’re just trying to make it better…
joel and i have decided to set aside some time soon and just go through and sort out what we’re doing with vocals, its quite interesting really, we have very different voices, but suprisingly they work really well together… that is when we do it properly…
i dont really have much to say, im just rambling on i guess, avoiding going to bed and stopping john mayer…
its quite sad that people are reaching their 100′000th words and stuff, and im still below 10′000, oh well, thats their interesting lives, and i enjoy reading almost every word of it, it doesnt really matter because this is my blog anyway, for my thoughts…
i really enjoy sunday nights, probably my best night of the week, actually i would say the best night of my week… i don’t have rowing in the morning
and i hung out with my friends tonight, set aside time at home to worship god in private by enjoying spending time with him on the piano, and then went to church and enjoyed worshiping him with others , god is good… i am reading through the psalms and samuel 1 & 2 at the moment, and its quite suprising how simmilar i am to david (especially with the whole emotion swings, and the whole tough to good time changes constantly, and changing my mind about things mid chapter of my life)…anyway i must be off to bed

slack blogger
luke
mmm, I think I’ve been a slack blogger, I haven’t really blogged properly in over a week…
so that I shall do now… I hopewell, this week has been really good,
I had state music camp, which was fun, amazing people (well some of them, the others were just weird)
I reckon soul survivor should do a worship musicians conference (kind of like passion for your name I guess) but different, it’d b for musicians & worship leaders at church’s, to equip and encourage them…there are so many personal jokes that no-one back at home understands, all I can say is “snaps for the personal jokes, snaps for the personal jokes”
at the moment I’m listening to storm by lifehouse, its really good, I must play it one day… mmm
life is interesting, I’m already ova what happened last Saturday, it seems so long ago, so much has happened, but I’m not, I don’t know, I’m slow at moving on
if only life was simple and everyone could just talk everything through without being worried about people taking things personally or the wrong way
meh, its life, u get over it
I guess the good reason about it being hard is that once u do something right, it means so much more, you have had to conquer the odds and come through strong…
I think life is really good actually, when I think about it, I’m really lucky… I’m sitting here well fed, fit, listening to music, using a computer, access to the internet, friends and family that care about me, I have my bed hovering above me, water in the drink bottle beside me, light coming from the ceiling at from the clear sky, with a view of the mountains in one window, the sea in the other, a guitar on my lap, mobile phone in my pocket, with my keyboard and sound gear packed up beside me in the cupboard, PDA and camera on the desk etc… I’m really lucky, fortunate, blessed, whatever
especially lucky because I have god on my side, and he loves me, and also because I have philosophy by Ben folds five playing
oops, I accident’s pressed publish!!
oh well, I’m editing it now
mmm, where was I, oh rite that’s it
I’m kind of glad no one really reads my blog because they’d have no idea what I’m on about, constantly changing subjects
oh yeah, I noticed Beth has now been added to the blog waterhole, yay for her!
its so simple now, I can almost read everyone’s blogs from the same spot
its starting to get dark now, and I’ve been procastinating for almost an hour so far, avoiding catching up on school work from the past six weeks,
I’ve found out that I can start my uni degree this holidays, and depending on how the first few subjects go, I might stay at school next year and do uni only part time, I would like to finish school, I just wonder if I could b bothered…
I wonder if anyone else but me has noticed that the ABC radio 702AM has used the into to the Ben folds song “rocking the suburbs” as the intro to their news program…? it ruins a good song, using it on the ABC… Actually I don’t mind the ABC as much as I used to, I guess anything is better than R & B!!! 102.5 FM (the classical station) isn’t too bad actually, good to sleep to, westies dad has actually got me into it!
mmm, I really cant concentrate on one thing at a time!!!
bloggin off, luke
