Good thing to keep in mind.

Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right.

Writer's Block Sucks. Period.

This has to be the longest time've gone without posting since I've started this little write up. And the reason can be solely attributed to the most abominable catastrophe that can happen to any budding writer, yes ladies and gnts I am refering to writer's block. Since I came home, I have been enjoying time spent with my family and getting back in touch with them and other people I know in the area. I have spent a lot of time in the gym in an effort to lsoe weight and .... lose weight. I have also been re-introduced to my allergies which had left me alone in Canada only to come back with a vengence, blasted sand!! But than it isnt exactly the sand's fault, it was here first after all about a billion years ago. Sheesh!! But that doesn't mean I can't complain about it!! MUAHAHAHA!! Take that sand!! ..... look at me, this is bloody well pathetic!! Im resorting to abusing sand, how far I have sunk.
But I digress, back to the subject at hand. Since I have come here, I really haven't got many ideas to write about, there were a few but I discounted them as being too cliche. Perhaps later when I am totally out of things to write about (koff force my opinions onto people koff). Anyways, whatever. I'll come up with something.
Cheers.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.

A new path once again, for the last time.

Today, sometime in the afternoon I will board a plane to Dubai and leave behind Canada for may what very well be the last time. My foray into the arts is over and I have seen that it isn't for me.
A year ago it was the same only with engineering in the states. My attempts at carving my own niche in this world have been failing miserably, mostly I believe becuase of my reluctance to see them as possible career choices. I have thought of myself as many things and none have come to fit my burgeoning self. I find no peace with the selections I have made so far, and in retrospect I find myself following my parents first carrer choice for me. Something to do with the only subject I have truly adored, english.
Be that as it may, I have promised to apply myself the the full extent of my capabilities so that I do not cheat myslef further. This is when I turn over a new leaf and become a changed man. I have grown up and no longer consider myself wise beyond my years, I know that I but a kid who really hasn't grown luch at all. And now that I have realised that, I will become a better man. But that doesn't mean Im going to have a stick up my ass, I will stay the same man, just a little better.

Teenager Bashing Quote!!!!

The invention of the teenager was a mistake. Once you identify a period of life in which people get to stay out late but don't have to pay taxes - naturally, nobody wants to live any other way.

Self Bashing Quote!!

To paraphrase Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear, and all those guys, "I wish I had known this some time ago."

The Arrogance of Youth

When I was younger, well atleast 2-3 years ago, I was a coky little shite when it came to my parents. I never really did listen to them, to be fair I always did hear what they have to say but I always conveniently managed to forget what they had told me 5 minutes after.
I though I knew how the world worked, it was my oyster, I knew I was right. I couldn't have been more wrong. Sure I had a few good ideas, but they were overshadowed by the phenomenal number of stupid things I have done since the 10th grade.
Whenver my parents started giving me advice about schoolwork I always said 'I know yadda yadda yadda'. This progressed to the point where my dad gave me the nickname I.K boy, if you can't get it then I wish ya luck in life and hope you don't drown yourself when you take a bath. Anyway, I digress. I argued a lot with my parents, and then my dad just said 'The arrogance of youth', and I asked him what he meant, even though I had a pretty good idea of what he was going to talk about. He just shook his head and said in a very tired way 'You'll see one day'. And now alomst 4 years on, I finally get what hes was talking about.
In a few months time in september, I will turn twenty. I have reached the point of no return. Till now I have had the excuse of being a teenager, rampant hormones, trying to figure out who one really is and all that rot. And ashamedly, I must admit I was quite good at making up excuses for my many faults and mistakes without a second thought. On the brink of adulthood, I think I was trying to run away from the fact that I am growing up. And now I am really scared, but also a little excited. I have begun to face who I really am, and when I do the same ruthless character examination I have done to many people on myself, I find that I am severely lacking and I don't make the cut. But I am glad that I now am grown up enough to look at my faults and finally be a little courageous, for being brave is to be afraid but still persevere.
When I look back on my life, short as it may be, I find so many things that I would change. But then again, everything is a 100% clear in hindsight. I wish I could go back to those days, when things were much simpler, and when I still had ....... well, lets just leave it at that. The irony is when I was a kid, there was nothing I wished more for than to grow up fast. Oh, the arrogance of youth.
