Vampire: Someone offers you a chance at immortality. Do you take it, and why or why not?

Everyone always says no.

"You have to watch everyone you love die around you"
"You'll get bored"
"Won't it get lonely?"

NAH. I'd flat out 100% say yes to immortality. Are you kidding me? The chance to live forever. To get to see the human race discover what dwells at the depths of the ocean and the extraterrestrial life that thrive amongst the stars. To get to see your descendants or descendants of people you knew, become something. To watch innovation after innovation. To be not scared of never having enough time to read and watch and feel.

Of course there is sadness in loss. Of everything seeming so temporary while being so permanent. Yet at the same time that's the beauty of it. If everything was permanent it would get old and boring. Being permanent in this case does not necessarily without change. Adapting with the times, watching the new fashion trends recycle or become something new. What new franchise or celebrity will be the next big thing? Watching equality finally being achieved globally after generation, after generation of filtering the hate out from what used to be traditional values and now just accepting things as they are and as they could be rather than what an individual thinks should be. Seeing new technology revolutionising the way the world works.

Meeting and living all walks of life. 

Yes. Always. 

I am trash and am so sorry

At this point I don't give a fuck about followers or readers. And that's a good thing. Pretty much talking to the blog as a friend rather than the blog as a medium to talk to virtual or anonymous friends now.

Life is good. I'm probably making some things more stupid and complicated than it should be (I'm looking at you, uni). But other than that I'm pretty happy with how things are.

Life Update:

  • Reconnecting and going out with good friends
  • Helping friends in times of need. We're all realising entering into a relationship and adjusting to a life without one can be the hardest thing ever. 
  • Michelle is moving out by July. Cannot express how amazing that news is. 
  • Working at Woolies and having expendable income is the best. New analogue film camera, some sick as camera film, CLOTHES, and tickets to outings.
  • Also making a lot of really good friends at work and at uni. It's so strange how these things just happen. 
  • Hanging out with Gino a lot more now that he's moved back. To the eastern suburbs. To the exact same street as me. To the exact same building he used to live in. Crazy.
  • Winnie and Filia are due to have their boys in less than 2 months! What the fuck! Did I not just go to their weddings, like, yesterday? Super excited to spoil and teach these guys what I know.
Random things
  • So random fact about me: I am a total hidden object game addict. Those games where you have to find objects and solves puzzles in order to solve a crime or mystery. That shit is my jam. I've played pretty much every single one available on the Apps store for Mac.
  • One night Michelle comes home from a date night with Jason. Around Sydney, and the world, right now are escape rooms. Fucking. Escape. Rooms.
  • People are locked into a room with a theme with a group of friends and use everything they can to try and get out of the room.
  • I went with Mila, Jesse and Gino on Thursday. 
  • The one at Strike on the Harbour.
  • It was amazing.
  • People think I'm joking when I keep saying this but: I think I found my fucking niche. I want to master all these rooms. Around Sydney. Around Australia. Around the world. And then create my own Escape Room. 
  • I'm not joking. I'm 100% serious.
  • As I was walking home one day I was thinking to myself: "Man I wish that when I thought I escaped one room, it just lead to another and then another and another." The Escape Rooms at Strike only had two rooms each scenario.
  • So I came up with the idea: I need to buy a whole block of houses or an apartment or something so that you need to escape not only just the room, but the building also. HARDCORE AMIRITE
  • So, yeah, there is that.
AND ANOTHER THING:
  • More self confidence.
  • Buy things that make you and people happy. Why not? Of course save at least a third of the paycheck for the future. 
  • But if you think you really need a leather jacket that will make you looking fuckhot kick ass, then do it. 
  • If you wanna see someone live in concert, don't be afraid to go by yourself. Make friends and be safe.
  • Tweet, update your Facebook, Instagram and Vine as much as you fucking want and can. When the hell are you going to think, "Man, I wish I didn't document so many things that made me happy and that I wanted to remember"?
  • Self-love = Self-care: drink more water, get more sleep, when you get an idea then get it out and on paper or computer as soon as possible (this applies to general thoughts and uni stuff as well), indulge but don't gorge (I can eat a whole pizza by my self and probs be still hungry, I'll do it but don't forget to balance and moderate and shit.)
  • Explore. I've gotten really into buy and looking into magazines that tell you about events around Sydney. Festivals, markets, conventions, plays, operas, cafes, clubs. They're all actually right there and not too hard to get to. Some free, some not. If you have an inkling of an interest then go for it.
