Friday 16th January

Good day my fellow humans.
I still think it's Thursday, it's now 1.00am. But hey, gotta keep it real, huh?
Just spent my day still being ill. And the annoying bit is, my stomach's getting better, tomorrow it'll probably be fine. But oh yes, a cold has decided to settle in, and put it's feet up. Git.
So now I'm sneezing and such.
But on the plus, I've just been back from the cinema. I went to see Will Smith's "Seven Pounds". Man, that's some heavy stuff. I didn't know what it'd be like, I just sat down and started watching it. And then once it finished, I walked straight into Benjamin Button again. I wanted to watch it again, something struck with that film...
So anyway, five or more hours on my arse watching the silver screen, not bad eh. And all done without popcorn. Just ginger biccies.
Not really gonna say much tonight, I'm pretty tired, and gonna chill out with the rest of Cook's soup. But I will say this.
I don't want to grow old. I don't want to depend on others to get along. As soon as that moment hits, I'll be living a life I don't want to live.
And also, at my funeral, I want people laughing. I wanna be watching over the ceremony, seeing smiles on people's faces. That'd be nice :).
Speak soon friends. My soup's getting cold.

TODAY IS FRIDAY. It's now 9.5opm. I spent today preparing for a haircut, going out, meeting friends and getting to the barbers after it shut. So basically, I chilled with mateys.
However, I made plans for tomorrow. A group of fellow awesomeners* (people in the class of Awesome) are going to a beach, to have proper surf lessons, barbeques and a mild partay. I am joining them. For a reasonable price, I get surfboard hire, a wetsuit to wear, beer, food and a day to chill with lots of people I do like and a few who teach me the social skills I'll need for uni.
So I'm happy.
Plus, I am fairly sure I know where I'm travelling to. But I need to speak to people first.
Speak soon everyone.

"The world is like a flower. Beautiful to look at from a distance. Then, as you look deeper, you find how it's made up of more and more intricate and complex simplicities, all working seperately but providing for a whole. And when just one of these tiny, seemingly insignificant simplicities breaks down, then a cloud of damage can spread, taking down those nearby. Makes you think, doesn't it. About how fragile a beautiful thing is. Enjoy is while it lasts. For nothing does." (Tom Prestwich)

Hello hello grublings.
Today was one worthy of a blog update! I awoke at the grizzly time of 6.30, showered and got to my old hostel to jump on a bus, taking us to a random beach of random location! However, the beach was privately owned, so it was pretty much empty apart from me and the people I was with. I was taught how to surf, safely and AWESOMELY. At the end the main trainer asked me if I'd ever skated, as skaters often tended to find surfing easier. Man, I got so many compliments on how well I did, I wanna try it again soon. Standing on that wall of water breaking around you, the rushing sound, and feeling the board underneath you twist when you move it... Awesome. By the end of the day I was standing on pretty much half the waves I went for.
But the downside? Sunburn, haha.
It was forecasted to rain, but oh no, at midday the clouds were blown away and the sun was B e a you-tiful.
So yeah, I've had a funking good day.
Now I'm ready for bed.
G'night :)

Today is the 21st of January, and I actually had to look on a calendar to see what day it is today.
Wow.
I had a surprisingly early start this morning, I think it was 10.30am. Not bad for someone with nothing to wake up to.
But today I actually did something. I took my washing off the line outside, it'd been there for about two or three days. And then I went for a walk.
It was forecasted to be insanely hot today (35 degrees) and hot days = STORM. So I left the house around 3pm, and walked up to the cliffs. There I sat, listening to the waves and thinking, for about two hours, until the first raindrops started falling. Then I proceeded to lie on my rock, and watch the lightning pass over my head. It was wonderful. Seeing the wall of rain in the distance, slowly moving closer, watching the light surrounding me getting blocked out, and watching ships out to sea getting blacked out by the rain...
Good stuff. I missed the last storm, so I was determined to sit this one through. I got home at I think 7pm or 8pm, I'm not sure. Had a shower, cooked dinner (steak chips and salad). YUMMY. Now I'm going to end my day watching a film called the Whole Nine Yards, I havn't seen it in years and it's a killer. I took out six films on Monday, and they're all good ones.
Right, I can't think of anything else.
Oh yeah, I started writing in the journal last night.
Apart from that...
Nah mate.
Speak soon.
