What better way to spend your weekends watching the adventures of Feargus Cooney
in his round the world ticket trip and also Ewan Mcgregor with Charlie Boorman in
the Long Way Round series on Nat Geo.

Certaintly there are phases of your life where you are more into something more than
the other, even when you are indefinitely sure that you could've sticked to one thing
for the rest of your life. Mine now is travelling.

My mum is unbelievably strong headed in convincing me not to do any high risk stuff.
Even going out at night to town with a few of my friends could be categorised as
highly dangerous activity because of recent slashing and shit. What i kept trying to tell
her is that alot of things in life people don't do because of the what ifs. What if you get
hurt, what if people are nasty to you, what if you get trapped in the other country? You cannot
change the fact that these are going to happen no matter what you do and however much
you don't want it to. Face it man, and this what ifs are the factors that makes the journey
exciting and when you look back, you can say omg i've fucking made it. Don't make selfish
solutions and think in such a way that when you back, you know that you gave it your all
and the endurance is worth the pain.

Its okay mum, the way she's brought up i believe theres alot she went throught that
she cannot bear to lose any of her sons. Any mistake is okay to make, just make sure
it doesnt cost your life. I respect that, but sorry no can comply.
Anyway its her birthday today.

Now travelling bears a huge part of my life, there are plenty others too. I'm sure this passion
will simmer down in awhile and hopefully the creative side of me will surface and lead me to
build my portfolio and get financially stable. Then i can take care of my family and carry on
my own path at full throttle knowing that i've done my part as a son, then i can truly seek passion.

wohoo


cheers
