The problem with things that are “worth waiting for” is when there are a dozen of them that the “waiting” is currently in progress… mumble mumble…

People keep asking me what I want to do with my life… I’m studying Media and get the question, “okay, where do you want that to take you?” and I always make up some shamble answer.

To be honest the true answer to the question of “What do you want to do with your life?” is this:

I want to make a difference

I want to make a big… lasting… worthwhile… difference

I want to make a difference not so “I” can make a difference but because there are differences that need to be made and I want to work hard to see that …

Don’t you hate the constant contrasting feelings that we always seem to get (well, speaking for myself that is).

Like excitement and anxiety; ideas and problems; confidence and fear; joy and pain; determined and overwhelmed — just to mention a few!

These seem to be the story of my life recently!

Check this out, its pretty amazing - particularly his closing.

Mmm… It’s a real bummer when your parental units are mostly right about things that you don’t want them to be right about. Particularly when it just problematises situations more than they already are.

The flip side is that they often understand you and have “been there, done that” more than you realise. And the flip side of that is that it also makes it hard to make your own mistakes!

Reading a Postmodernist book on Easter Sunday…mmm…Recently I’ve had so many conversations about ethics, religion, morals, spirituality, parenting, education, relationships, politics, lifestyle etc… I know I believe stuff but I sure don’t think I could vocalise it at the moment (well, couldn’t be bothered trying).Ah, the crisis! :P 

After being convicted about not only having too high (and not yet matured) expectations of myself but also putting on a front for everyone. I have taken the first step in a very difficult, painful but essentially freeing process… the first step was writing a card to my wonderful parents, letting them in on one piece of information about me… there is much more to come, I’m really trying to be deeply honest and open with people who love me, it is not easy though… there is so much that we guard away from the eyes of others (well, speaking …

Well, I’m up late, way past my thinking expirey trying to conquer parts of the long list of things that I have to get done. My brain has stopped working and I don’t think I’m going to be able to get to sleep yet, even if I have to wake up at 5:30am.

So, I guess I owe you an explanation as to what I’ve been doing.

Well, the Canberra trip was a lot of fun… some BIG nights which kinda knocked me around being up to the wee hours of the morning and backing up for a long day, several days …

Well, my time in Canberra is drawing to an end. 24 hours till I’m heading back to our nations true capital city.
Its been a lot of fun-more of a tour of canberra than a Gloal Leadership Synopsis though.

But its been a tonne of fun-the people are great, we’ve made it a ball for ourselves
I think I was one of the few people not hung over this morning though, its been a wild few days with one evening left…St Patricks Day (moved this year to March 15.

Anyway, there’s a lot going on with life at the moment & i hope …

… there, I said it.
