Hi everyone =) so it has been the longest time since i've done a post on here. i can't believe it's been almost 4 months, but time has flown i guess in a way. i still can't really wrap my head around the fact that it's 2008. so i guess i should reflect a bit on what's been happening in my life since i last posted.

school wise, i passed all my exams...so hooray for me lol. they weren't the highest of marks, but i passed. i mean, i wasn't happy with my marks, but that semester was quite weird for me and my head wasn't in it much at all. so i'm thinking next semester i definitely have to try harder to stay focused and not lose track of what i have to do. uni life makes u so accustomed to being free and responsible for urself....which let's be honest, i'm not very good at. i think responsibility sucks.....but at the same time i realise i'm not going to be able to live my life with other people making my decisions for me so i have to start growing up.

that leads me onto my other topic. i'm officially 20 years old and have spent 2 decades on here......here being earth (duh). i can't believe it's been so long. i honestly still feel like i'm still 14-15....i mean sure a lot of the stuff i do has changed since i was 14/15, but i feel like my mentality is still there. sure, i've gone through a whole lot and have learned a whole lot since i was that age, and that's made me wiser, don't get me wrong. but in a lot of ways, i still don't feel like an adult. sometimes i see so many people around me already having adjusted to adult life, doing stuff that everybody expects people our age to be doing....and all i wanna do is the complete opposite. maybe that makes me a bit of a dag.....but i'm comfortable with that.

i think there's a bit of a 'second puberty' thing going on here. u know, where ur seeing everybody change from what they used to be....and u feel as though ur taking a longer time to adjust or to change with them. and as much as u want the same changes to happen, at the same time, u just wish everything was back the way it was ya know. haha....i might be talking complete shit....who knows.

moving on. job wise, i'm fairly stable. i've been working at the airport since May, so that hasn't really changed. it's been ok....has had it's dramas, but it's pretty sweet now. i do know one thing though, i really don't think i can spend the rest of my life doing hospitality. i need to go out and look for some job experience in my area of study. again on the responsibility lol. pro activity was never my forte. another year, another opportunity though, so that's one of my 2008 goals.

love life wise.....well i'm not going to disclose too much. i did have someone special....for about a month, but we're no longer together, so no big deal. i hate to say it, but for some reason i get over people very easily. same as how i fall very easily for someone. but yeh, now i'm currently single.....not that i'm advertising (unless ur james franco :P) i think the biggest change in my mindset is how i view the 'G' lifestyle. it's not what i expected it to be...and although there are certain good points....to me, i guess it's so different to what i'd want it to be. but realities are realities right. haha..either way, i'm not too phased....i don't have that much time anyway.

in every other avenue of my life. i'm still keeping up with the weights training. i can't say i'm getting any bigger....at least not visibly, which sucks.....but at least i'm maintaining. and i've also started taking Krav Maga (u can check that up in ur spare time). i'm really enjoying it as well.....although it does come with it's fair share of injuries. i'm also still completing my massage certificate....which is gonna take me at least another few terms. but i'm enjoying wat i'm doing. but yeh, all this stuff isn't giving me a whole heap of time to do other stuff...so it's keeping me busy.

on a parting note, i want to wish everybody a belated Happy New Year. i hope for everybody on here.....everybody that's still on here that they have a fantastic year and to just enjoy it on a daily basis. don't worry about the complexities of responsibility and the troubles that sometimes seem to have a grip on our lives. LIVE....do something u've never done before, smile at someone u hardly know....just make the year memorable for you. haha....now i sound like some cheesy ad. but that's me ay.....cheesy-dave haha. lots of love from down under, take it easy and take care.

is it me or has blogging gotten really complicated lately. i'm a person who's easily distracted......*gazes at a piece of dust floating around the room*......haha and yeh, there's just so much damn intertainment (get it, internet + entertainment......hmmm that sounded smarter on paper) around so it's really hard to concentrate. of course it's also to do with my willpower, but yeh, with all these functions around for 'adding photos and audios and videos' and i don't know how many people have facebook here, but the amount of things some ppl have on their facebook page is seriously ridiculous. haha, i feel so old fashioned now....wanting things to be 'simpler'.

anywayz here are some of the snow patrol pics i promised. some of the pics are really good cuz i was an awesome mosh pit position. enjoy and have a good one guys. cheers

"hi everybody, i'm david and um.....i'm a compulsive liar"

which is true, i just can't keep to the whole one post a week thing. haha, i dunno, i guess the older u get, the harder it is to keep promises and i dunno, tell the truth all the time. there's no more 'kiddie innocence'. take santa claus for instance....ok, that's an unfair example, but u get the point. ok, i should also blame my awful time management skills. if only we had slightly longer days. in which case i'd probably waste those extra few hours anyway lol.

so to update everybody, everything's been really good. well ya know, there's the whole up and downs thing, but overall things have been so mashed up together, there's no time to concentrate on any one feeling at a time, except maybe hunger. there's always time for food. uni's pretty good so far, just plodding along. for some reason i feel totally spent after first semester so this semester i'm a little less motivated. but they say, it's all about setting deadlines for yourself....to increase motivation i mean. yeh, sportwise, i've been getting back into tennis, i'm continuing with my gymnastics and i've started doing sprint training for one of my classes, in the vain hope of trying to get that sprinters build. haha....let's just say it's slowly coming......very slowly.

haven't really done all that much this semester. went out go karting for one of my frends 20th. that was pretty sweet. went to snow patrol which was so awesome, i'll be posting up some pics in my next post as soon as i upload them onto my comp. they're amazing live ay. i really want to go travelling next year. i don't know where to, but just somewhere new for a considerable amount of time. i need to go and see the world. don't get me wrong, i love australia, but i guess i need a bit of new scenery, but dammit, why do holidays have to cost a shitload?? haha, like there's this one trip i wanna go to. it's in south africa at a wildlife conservation park and ur pretty much a volunteer there for 2 weeks and altogether that's 3 grand. that's about $214 a day. and although i do realise it's about the experience, not the money....i am still a student so unlike herbie, i'm not fully loaded.

wow, even i thought that was a bad joke lol. so that's about all i have to report. my tattoos still doing well. i'm still loving it lol, but it's meant i haven't swum in ages cuz i'm worried about the bleaching effects of chlorine. does anybody have any advice about that?? anywayz guys, i'll be commenting everybody 2moro so have a good one until then. cheers

so it's almost been a week since i got my tattoo. i can't tell u how much i still love it and i'm so paranoid about ruining it right now, i'm like shying away from any human contact....lol, which is making me act like the hermit man or sumfing like that. but yeh, it's only 10-14 days of less movement and very careful aftercare, then i can relax and know that the fallout is over. i couldn't think of a better word than fallout.

so the process was kinda crazy ay. i spent maybe 3 and a half hours getting poked by a needle while it injected ink into me. and even though there were moments where the pain was almost unberable, especially during the dark shading, i would gladly do it all over agen, just because i think the end product is amazing. so i definitely have to thank my tattoist chisaki for doing such a great job. haha....course for wat i paid, i would've been a bit peeved if it didn't look good ay. so after i got it done, i hung out with billy, hung and ian for the rest of that day, watched a bit of origin and wimbledon (speaking of which, kudos to venus williams, she rocks my socks. and yeh, i guess roger federer deserved his 5th consecutive win...but yeh, i dunno, he's not my favourite player in the world) but yeh, i had an awesome time with the guys and i really have to thank them for taking care of me after my tattoo, cuz i was kinda walking like i only had the function of one arm.....and i was still in a bit of pain. like, it's not huge pain, but u just don't wanna screw it up.

but yeh, besides that i haven't been doing too much. i do want to get back into working out though. i dunno, i keep feeling like i need to prove myself to ppl......like physically speaking. and it's annoying ay, because people are always gonna have assumptions and that pisses me off. i know i shouldn't let it get to me, but i just can't help it ay. anywayz i'm gonna head off, hope everybody's doing well, cheers
