Day one.

So, I deactivated my Facebook last night for exactly seven days.

I was over peoples shit and had just had enough of everyone knowing everyones business. It was too much and I also wanted to see what my life would be like for a week without it. I go on Facebook at work all of the time, partially because it is on my iPhone.

So I deleted it.

Day one has been pretty interesting. Every morning when I wake up I used to check Facebook. This morning when I woke up I went to check Facebook then remembered that I didn't have it anymore. It surprisingly didn't bother me too much.

Throughout the day I went to check my iPhone and would hit where I used to have the Facebook application, but nothing happened. Then I remembered again, I didn't have Facebook.

Life so far has been alright without it, I haven't been craving it as much as I thought that I would. But then again it is the weekend, and it is easy to fill your days with doing washing, watching movies, visiting family and making dinner. It is going to be interesting seeing what it is like at work without Facebook.

I will admit, Facebook is an amazing way for people to connect and talk, especially if you haven't seen or spoken to them in a while. I do miss that aspect of it, but not the other stuff that comes with it. I should go through and delete the people that annoy me.

Anyway, I read another great quote today, and it goes a little something like this -

There is no fate, but what we make for ourselves. Does the routine destroy out creativity or do we loose creativity and fall into the routine?

This quote stuck out of the page as I was reading and I couldn't get it out of my head. Ever since I left school and started working full time, I have felt like my creativity has been leaving me. I used to love to draw and write and read. But now I am just a drone, I do everything the same. There are no differences in my life from day to day. It is kind of sad really. And gives you a whole heap to think about....

Until tomorrow ;)

When did we forget our dreams.

The infinite possibilities each day holds should stager the mind.

The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable and breathtaking, sadly I am still sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops. Reliving a few days over and over, and we only envision a handful of paths laid out to us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last.

Every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of society norms. We act like if we get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.

And no, I don't see all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what the moment could become. But I do know one thing: The solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someones expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

This was in a book I recently purchased. Amazingly written. I love this, and I need to start living my life by it.

... Something to say ...

I feel like I should up date for the sake of updating. I don't really have much to say. And the things I want to say are too confusing.

... Ever Wonder? ...

Have you ever wondered -

- If someone is doing the exact same thing as you are.

- If someone is writing in there blog at this exact same time.

- Planning there future.

- Twisting there hair in there fingers.

- Watching the same TV Show as I am.

- Wearing a black polo shirt.

- Own a white Mitsubishi Magna, made on the exact same year and the same day.

- Having a child.

- Getting married.

- Getting divorced.

- Breathing there last breath.

- Crying.

- Running away.

- Staring at the same stars.

- Or dreaming the same dream.

Ever wonder if there is someone on this world walking around that you are destined to meet?

Or if there is someone you are destined to fall in love with?

What if your life's are already planned and no matter what we do it's not going to change. Like a scratchy you buy from the news agency no matter how you wish and prey that you win something, it has already been printed, and it knows your destiny. What if life was like that?

Ever wonder if there was someone in this world exactly like you.

- Someone who liked to draw.

- Someone who was a hermit and liked there own company.

- Was interested in the same books as you.

- Listened to the same music.

- Had the same sort of friends.

- Liked the same kind of movies.

- Had the same laptop.

- The same TV.

- Same sort of clothes.

- And same sort of attitude.

I believe that you can choose your own destiny. But our story has already been written. It is up to us to fill it's pages with wonderful adventures. People. Places. Foods. Cultures. And things.

People come. People go. But the best ones are with you for life.

.. Changes ...

So I cannot even begin to describe the feelings that are welling up inside of me.

I can't write them on my blog just yet, because unfortunately there are people that read this who would tell the whole town. So when the date comes closer I will share my feelings and my plans with my blog and the blogging world.

If anyone reads this I ask that you wish me luck. I ask that I am making the correct decision. That everything is going to work out and that I am not throwing everything away to chase after a dream. I hope that I have enough money and that I won't get depressed. And I hope that I enjoy everything that life has to throw at me. I know that life sometimes throws us curves balls. And upsets us, and at that moment it doesn't seem fair. But in the long run everything is going to work out. I am going to tell myself this when I am down in the dumps.

And I am going to tell anyone who reads this to wish me luck. I will need it.

Another Year. Another Flood.

2011

This is the year that everything is going to change.

I can feel it deep down within myself.

I am going to break free.

And probably live out of my comfort zone.

But it's all for the better.

I can't wait to get out of this town.
