so its been THREE YEARS,
which is 36 MONTHS,
which 156 WEEKS,
which is 1095 DAYS too long since i last blogged...
but now i am over all the humps of life (aka school) and ready to explore n expand and pick up where i left off before i got sucked into the whirlwind of ""studying"".
i feel as though i should reintroduce myself, but if i do that one of two things will happen:
1. it will be very long, full of nonsensical nonsense and most definitely put you to sleep
or
2. i will get three sentences in and get so bored of my own life that i fall asleep
so im going to do neither of those, and simply let you know this: i have officially entered adulthood, i'm a grown up ready to do grown up things (97% of the time), and i couldn't be more happy with 2014 so far.
i got a call from the australian business academy the other day asking me what my study plans were for 2014, and if i needed assistance in choosing the right course of action for my future studies.
"no, thank you." i had said, very, very politely. "i'm not going to study this year. i'm going to do what i want."
"oh yes, we understand. but let us help you with that." the man, luke or something, responded.
"no, sorry. i'm late for a gig. if you feel like having a groove, luke, you should go." and i told him where it was, then (very, very, extremely politely) i hung up.
so i went to this gig, and i had a really bloody fantastic time. luke didn't show up, or maybe he did, but whatever the case, i had an over all good night.
i've been listening to a so much more different styles of music than i did when i was 14 - australian hiphop, pop, ska, funk, rock, the really weird genre's that come automatically filled in on itunes like "fucking awesome" (odd future) and "electric sex" (the jet age of tomorrow) ... just generally lots more good, new different music. my brother is heavily involved in the sydney music scene, which is awesome, so i'm constantly being spoon-fed all these incredible new beats and being introduced to amazing musicians and bands.
looking back on what i used to write about, i was incredibly wrapped up in not becoming one of those teeny boppers, listening to MTVs hottest 100 hits and fawning of justin beiber. i constantly trying to discover new bands and artists by myself, reluctantly accepting help from others and rarely giving praise where praise was deserved. i was incredibly uptight about my music, despite my own beliefs, and probably thought i was really cool to not listen to jessie j or whoever was the most popular artist. lemme tell you something now, my most recently played artists on itunes are these: the fugees, little mix, james blake, beyonce, jessie j (!!), chance the rapper and amy winehouse (just to name some).
much like myself, i think i've mature somewhat over the past three/four years and i'm an avid watcher of MTVs hottest 100 and unashamed one direction fan (can't help it, have you seen their faces?).
i've come to the understanding that, even if people give me a massive stink eye when they realise my wee obsession with british boy and girl bands alike, their opinion on what i like isn't going to truly affect the way i live. anyhoo, enough of that!
so this year, when making my new years resolutions, i came up with these:
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS:
#1. remember more shit
#2. vegetarian
#3. be more healthy, eat less food from the bakery
#4. read more/write more/sing more
#5. relate song lyrics to things people say in everyday life
i've succeeded in 1/5 of those - #5, i have such a catalogue of previously useless song lyrics in my mind that now have an every day use and, according to my mum, it's helping with preventing early onset of dementia - and, due to recent foot injury rendering me as limpy lou, #4 is underway. #3 is a bit helpless now, i can barely walk let alone run or even think about exercise, so that's on hiatus until further notice. #2 is happening slowly, can't go cold turkey (ha) straight away but i'm working on. as for #1, i was telling my resolutions to my friend the other day had counted four of them, and was quite happy that i had only forgotten one...until i realised that i had forgotten #1, the irony was a bit too strong there and i made a mental note to eat more brain food.
right ok cheerio laddies, i'll be back this time i promise.
(i'll put a reminder on my cellular device...coz it's 2014 and i can do that now)
in the meantime i'll leave you with this gem:
sick cover, sick singer, sick band, sick song. enjoy mwa
