This was meant to be one of the most exciting weeks of my life. And it still should be. But everyone knows the people who love you won’t let you be happy unless they are.
Wait what
here's to eyes
that are brighter than mine
and here's to regrets
and wasted time
i need a flashlight
because i'm obviously blind
A Life Less Plagued
People = Cancer
Day 1
Every 6 months or so, I have a mental breakdown. The good news is, nowadays they are shorter and less intense every time. And the bounce back is stronger. Thats all I can ask for yes?
Slept it off for two days and now I’m back. Day 1. Do the things I wanna do and be a better person. Ride the wave until your brain forgets. See how many resolutions can sneak into the routine while the others fall into obscurity. Go back to your core friends and see if any of the new ones you neglected them for are worth keeping around.
Predictable, but I am who I am I guess.
Today we hiked a good 6kms across a farm to a private beach. Along the way we met two dogs who walked to the beach and hung with us all morning. They even looked a bit like Arnold.
Growing Up
I think the scariest thing I can think of is growing up. I shouldn’t be so scared but the second I think of doing it, I feel like dying. Yet, everyone says I have to, and life has truly gotten in the way of living. So, yes. It is time.
I’m growing up, but I’m not happy about it.

October
I don’t update this very much. And I don’t keep a journal. But I kinda want to. I guess it is sometimes important to keep some kinda record of what happened when, otherwise how can I figure out how to do it again? Maybe it’s not important but Imma do it anyway.
I’m sitting in my new house in Cremorne. Dog and Lisa are fast asleep and I’ve been up booking a holiday I leave for in 4 weeks. Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatamala and Los Angeles. Five weeks is the longest I’ve taken off since 2002, and I can’t even believe how much I’m looking forward to it.
It’s been a long year, but probably my favourite year to have lived. Despite hiccups that would have once disabled me, I’ve come leaps and bounds in terms of where I want to be in my life. I don’t think I’d moved forward much in five years. In 2010 I took leaps and bounds backwards. So that feels good. I’m happy mostly, especially knowing how far I have to go.
On Thursday my cast comes off and I can walk again after 6 weeks with a broken ankle. I have 3 weeks to rehab the shit out of it so I can explore as much of Central America as my mind and heart will allow. Irony of the ankle break is I was about as healthy as I can remember being. Now, that spare tire shows but at least my arms are strong from the crutches.
This house is home already. Two months and I can definitely call it that and more. It’s even got a Lakers clock on the wall.
This feels kinda dear diary but it doesn’t bother me too much. I should even consider making a new blog for this shit, but I don’t really care enough to do that. I’ve got more research to do on howler monkeys and volcanoes. And how to great someone in Spanish.
Documenting
Just sent off the forms that could change my life forever. Sleep tonight could go either way.
