Hi.

Well what a week.
I'm so tired. Not having time to bludge, and just relax. Although always having something to do is keeping me in a great routine. Up early every morning for work or uni. Except now UNI CLASSES ARE OVER. Wooo.
I actually just finished redrafting an essay after the teacher said I didn't do enough of my own research. Umm whatever. So I don't really care about that. Its done thats all I care about it.

Bought a great new tshirt yesterday too. Its go good ol' Uncle Sam pointing the finger and saying FUCK YOU. I love it. Dad doesn't, but isn't that the point?

My aptly named blog today is referring to the 2 me's. The other side of me has been suppressed of late. I'm calling him Luke, the dormant side of my personality driven by desire and rage and anger. I could feel it coming through the other day while I had every little fucking Footscray creature cutting me off and walking slowly and stopping. lol. I tried to induce it but I couldn't which just weakens the argument that I'm just an idiot. I believe it's real, even if no one else does.

Also, I thought I came down with Campylobacter Food Poisoning the other night. Chicken should have been fine but it was actually RAW in one bit. It was one of those Chicken Kiev's you buy frozen and put in the oven. Yes, after 45 minutes it was still raw. I'm not trusting anything like that again. So for the next 24 hours I was worried I might start vomiting or getting a fever or coming down with paralysis. Yes thats a symptom I found it on the Net ;)

2 Months to go until my trip. I'm so pumped. One month to go until I find out WHERE and WHAT I'm doing for the first two weeks. Some volunteer work. I kinda hope we're gonna be in Mexico, or anywhere where winter aint that bad. lol.

Well I better go, maybe I should start my next essay. Or just relax for once. I have a day off tomorrow, maybe that will be essay day.

Homework status:
1 essay

A Broken Heart

"Everybody here is living life in fear of fallin' out of line"

Today was such a nice day and I spent it at Uni. The last Monday I shall go to Uni. Rolf has cancelled Tourism Law for next week and Devaki wants to have cake instead of doing Sociology. Day off then for me. I'll get my Sociology essay done hopefully.

Speaking of essays I'm so over them. I have an Employment Law one due in a week and a half, would like to finish it a week early though. So hard when all the time you can commit is a couple of hours each night after working for a full day. I'm gonna start doing some after dinner though.

I watched an episode of Lost when I got home from Uni today. Since I missed it on TV. I must say, it's quite riveting. Luckily I'm disciplined enough to not let it get in the way of other important things.

I went out for dinner last night and had Duck. I don't know why. Brittany had duck at a nice restaurant and said it was beautiful. This was not a nice restaurant and I felt sick. I've now come to the conclusion that ducks are for feeding at the park and not for human consumption.

Realising how much I miss my friends lately too. I'm so busy, it's impossible to catch up with everyone I want to. But I'm definitely going to do a decreased work load at Uni next year. Originally I was thinking part time, and take a another 2 years to finish. But maybe I'll do 2 subjects in first semester, then 3 in the next 2 semesters and finish in a year and a half. Surely 3 subjects will still be a lot less to worry about than 4. I just wanna earn money though.

But yea, I need so badly to catch up with so many friends. Chris is having drinks for his birthday though this weekend so I'm sure people will come to that. It will mean that I'll have to break my vow to not go out until after exams. So I'll work hard this week and earn the right to go out.

Uni work count:
2 x 2,500 word essays
2 exams.

Party time:
Friday November 17, 5:01pm

Departure:
Wednesday January 3, 12:30pm

Parity

Today was also known as "The Day the Diet Ended"

Yes that's right. I was on a diet. "But why Tim, you're already so hot?" I hear you say/think! Well actually I cut my soft drink and chocolate consumption was almost 100%. I had the odd glass of soft drink but I actually went quite a while without chocolate. But tonight at Uni I was hungry and I had the choice of a BOOST Chocolate Bar or some deep fried chips which might have been there for an hour. I went with the Boost. I also had a Pepsi Max to wake me up because there were boring presentations in my last class. But the diet will continue. Maybe I'll call it a lapse..

This week has also been quite tiring. Started my new position which meant lots of work learning everything. It's been good. I think I'm doing ok. But I'm up early every day and doing uni and work and soon exams will be upon me. Totally sucks. But that's life isn't it? Might even go out on the weekend to relax and have fun.

I have also paid the balance on my trip to America. Very exciting, although I will miss this nice weather I think.

I actually have so much homework to do and I can't be bothered tonight. I'm not in a productive mood. I'll do it tomorrow night (yes I'm staying home on a Friday). I can't wait for the day when the semester is over and I can learn to be bored again. Some day now.......I feel like Tacos. haha (Some people will get that).

That's all from me tonight. Wish me luck with homework.

So It Begins

Today was one of the worst days of Uni I've had for a while.
Tourism Law finished 105 minutes early. I think Rolf (lecturer/tutor) was cut or something.
That left me with about 4 hours of time to kill before Sociology. Boring. Maybe that's why I feel so flat today.
I was falling to sleep on the train home (not good) and didn't wake up properly at home. So anyway, fast forward to 30 mins ago...

I went to Safeway to buy some Vitamin E as I'm sure commercialism and the use of marketing has gotten to my head and makes me believe I need 2 per day to be alert. I also bought some of those microwaveable soup packs for work. I'm over sandwiches and I'm too tight to buy lunch every day at Southbank!
So I drove past Maccas on the way home as I have to do, and I saw Chris in a black shirt. WTF! So I went in. They all seemed happy to see me it was so funny. Poor kids. Chris is a manager (why Chris why??), and I got Holly's number again. Woot! But was kinda cool to see some old friendly faces. It really was, that wasn't sarcastic.

Start my new position tomorrow. Yes I have been promoted and taken out of the subscriptions department and am now in Customer Service. Training is basically anytime I'm not at Uni which leaves less time to do homework. I have a weekly timetable set up now. Is that normal for a 20 year old? But don't get me wrong, I'm happy, I'm excited. I get bored easily. Some of you know this.

I also received my final invoice for my trip. I'm so pumped for it I can't wait. January 3 really isn't that far away when you think about first overcoming the semester, then exams, then it's easy until Christmas when BAM! I'll be ready to go.

Well I best be off to do some homework. Tonight it's some Employment Law tutorial questions and an article for Sociology. So tired but must push on.

Truth Be Told

I pledge allegience to myself, for I shall never give in and allow myself to be boxed or caged.
I pledge allegience to my friends, who I would take a bullet for.
I pledge that this blog is honest, a new twist on my blog of old, and
I pledge that I will always be standing in the way of those who seek to chain us.


Welcome.

I used to be a major blogger. Some of you already know this. An MSN Spaces blog filled with rage and hate, a black background to accompany the black thoughts I churned out.

Things have changed.

I'm not saying this is going to be peachy. I have however left behind my "I need to complain about everything" blog and forged a new identity in the blogging world.

Wake up the Revolution is in dedication of a song that reminds me that for every person who stands up for something, there are others who are too afraid. I was very much like that. I hated that, and I need to do what I believe in now.

So here I am, a new Tim so to speak, apparently free. But we are not free, and so we must break the bonds of constraint that we have been tied down with for so long.

I hope to update this regularly. Uni will slow me down but since procrastinating is one of my well-learned skills I probably won't be held down by such a responsibility.

And if I could have one wish fulfilled, it would be that every person can pledge allegience to themselves.
