For the first time today I actually read some of my blog ... its very odd. I would just like to clear a few points up
My intention isn't intended to show off or anything of the sort, if anything its here to entertain ... much as I would do in person if I was talking to you. Translating my life to written form is fun, and as bizare as some of it sounds its all completly true. Weird stuff always seems to happen to me and crazy people head to me like moths do to a light. I'm dreading the day when I meet someone and they explain to me that the book (well my blog) of my life is better than the movie (well my life). Also its nice to contribute something to the Internet for a change.
Its best to look at this blog as you would a child just showing off a painting its really happy with to its parents. One of the main things that happens when you fly off to the other side of the world on your own is that all of your habits become null and void. Your brain likes whats familiar but it learns from whats new, very quickly new habits start to establish themselves in the clearing. They starts as very small things like always ordering the same thing at a fast food place or always walking on the same side of the road on the way to work.
I'm sure left alone they would grow back into the huge habit forest that was my normal life. As an experiment I have been weeding any habit as soon as I notice it. So far my brain seems to be responding very positively, before I recommend this practice its probably best to let me do it for a while longer to see if there are any unexpected side effects.
One of the benefits of escaping the physical habits is that your habits of thought change too. I notice my mind is going in exciting and new directions and I'm figuring out a lot of things that you guys already knew and take for granted. I had always spent a lot of time thinking about the big important/abstract things but now I was actually figuring out a lot of the small stuff that you guys already seemed to intuitively know. Stuff like maybe you shouldn't dump the woman you love to get engaged to a random stranger because your magic eight ball told you to do it.
As I look back with my new perspective I think the person in my way of my life being beter was myself and if anything I was actually running away from my destiny.

I know our brain is basically a giant pattern matching machine, even taking this into account based on my life's experiences I've come to one of two conclusions:
1 (the unlikely one)- I am the luckiest person in the world.
2(the probably right one)- We are all constantly surrounded by opportunity and its just a case of noticing its there.
I'm really putting my money on the second one ... wonder what the easiest way of noticing all the opportunity is.
Recently I've been going out and doing stuff everyday, next week I'm going to take it easy and catch up on my reading and writing. Going to come up with a plan, I have a few ideas but it needs some more thought and discussion. All in all, baring unexpected Blogertunities or epiphanies the blog will be pretty quiet next week.
