They say 2012 is the year the world ends. But I think 2012 is the year my life begins. I say this because I truly have a big year ahead of me. I have goals, things I wish to achieve and this year, I'm doing something about it!
You see I myself am my worst enemy. I generally don't have enough confidence in myself to do the things that I probably should of done some time ago. And the stupid thing about that is I know I'm doing it, yet still couldn't help myself. This year is my first year at Uni, something that I probably should of been saying 4 years ago after I finished TAFE. But that word, 'Uni', it frightened me. It represented something that to me sounded so scary and difficult. What if I failed? This is not a good attitude to have, and I'm ashamed in myself for having it, but I still couldn't get passed that fear. I never considered myself a Uni student. Only smart people go to Uni don't they?
So I never went. I never even tried actually. Once I finished TAFE I got my diploma and just kept working at Woolworths. Which is fine, but I was just cruising along, happy in my safe little world. I then moved to Newcastle and got another job, a full time job as a Storeman for an electrical wholesaler. And I cruised along there too. Thoughts of Uni did linger in my mind, but I was still afraid and so I would dismissed these thoughts and keep cruising along.
3 - 4 years pass since I finished TAFE in 2007. It's now 2011, how quickly time flies. I'm still working as a Storeman for L&H and I'm hating it. Ive never hated something so much and I've never been so stressed and overworked in my life. And it was in this year, in 2011 that I started looking at myself. I thought about my passed, about where I was in life at the moment, and where I wanted to be. Who I wanted to be. I thought about all the things that I wanted to achieve and realized that I wasn't going anywhere, that I was stuck. But this time rather then mope around, complaining; 'woe is me', I decided I had to do something. That if I wanted a change, I had to make it happen, me. I realized that I had to believe in myself and take a few risks. And so that's what I did.
About halfway through November in 2011 after another terrible day at work I went home, got on the internet and applied to The University of Newcastle. There was a course I liked the sound of; Bachelor of Visual Communication Design. It would be another 2 months before I knew weather or not I was to be accepted in the course, but I already begun planning leaving my current job and what I was going to do when I was accepted.
January 2012 was a big month for me. A lot happened in just a couple of weeks. I new I would need a casual job/s whilst I was studying as well, so I set out and handed out as many resume's to as many places as I could think of around Newcastle looking for casual work. I had written a short cover letter explaining my situation, about how I was to be attending Uni and would give anything a go. In one day (I was on my holidays from work), I handed out 23 resume's to various bar's and clubs. I got lucky, and within a week I had 3 job interviews to attend.
January 19, 2012 I received a text message from the University of Newcastle, I had been accepted! It was all starting to happen. I accepted my offer, I was now a University student. All I had to do next was get at least one of these jobs that I was being interviewed for. However this wasn't the only thing on my mind. I had some other big plan's that were happening over the weekend. Other plan's that would also be life changing.
January 21st 2012, I asked the love of my life Naomi Anderson to marry me, to which I'm glad she said yes. And while it might still be a year or so before we 'tie the knot' or be able to afford our own place together I didn't let those things stop me from what I wanted to do. I love her and wanted her to know how I truly felt. Why wait for the 'perfect moment'? Or to be financially secure. Love isn't rational. I know I want to be with her forever, so I took the steps to show her and everybody else that. Like I said earlier, I know what I want, and this year I'm doing something about it.
January 23rd the day of the Job interviews. The first at The Warners Bay Hotel turned into a 4 hour trial, after which he offered me the job. The second was at Sunglass hut at Charlestown. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful here. Last interview was at the Honeysuckle Hotel, where they also offered me a job. I took the one at Honeysuckle Hotel, I liked it there better. The next day I walked into L&H and I quit.
So there you have it, the beginning's of a massive year ahead, the first steps into what certainly feels like the beginning of my life. I have direction again and am starting to believe in myself. I officially finish up at L&H on Friday the 10th of Feb. (And I can't fucken wait to get out of that hell hole!!). Ive already started my new job at the Honeysuckle Hotel and am loving it so far. And on Feb 27th . . . I start my first day at Uni. Bring it on

Re-born
From the moment I complete this post my blog has officially been "re-born". It has been well over 2 years since my last post and to say a lot has changed in that time would be an understatement. A lot can happen in a week, a day, 5 minutes. So you can imagine that a hell of a lot can happen in 2 years. Not only though am I giving this old blog life again by posting to it I have also re-designed it, made it look a little crisper I think and tidied up a few things. If your going to be re-born do it with some style and ad some changes I think.
Since my last post on what was as I recall a rather "good Saturday" I have had many good Saturdays. Heck I've had many good weekends. Even weekdays. My last post saw me coming to the close of 2008, which by all rights as I recall was a fairly good year. However 2009 was just around the corner and it proved to be a damn good year. If you ignore the minor detail of all the stresses that come with moving to a new town and selling a house, then 2009 was an awesome year. It was for me, a party year. Or so the first 6 months was anyway. But Im not going to get into that, as I'll be here all night typing, and you'll have a lot of reading ahead of you. (That is of course if anyone does happen to read this). So to summarize; Partying, turned 21, more partying, moved to newcastle, a little bit of partying and new job.
2010 . . . well, it wasnt as exciting as 2009. Im not saying it was a bad year, but 2009 rocked! Although the last 4 - 3 months of 2010 were pretty good. I met some cool people who im now fairly good friends with. I met a girl in November who I felt an instant connection with, staying up til sunrise talking and kissing. We would later go on 3 dates in a row, which might of broken some dating "rules" but they were great. However after that it would be almost another month before I'd see her again. Not that we didnt stay in contact, its just a month can be a long time waiting to see someone you really like. Im glad to report now though that she is my girlfriend now, and we've been together for 2 months on march 21.
The beginning of this year however, 2011 would see me back at my "hometown" of Wagga Wagga. But I gotta say, I dont miss it there at all. Newcastle is way better. 2011 has still really only just begun, but I think its going to be a good year. Panaho is returning to Australia and I think its time the TAFE boys had a reunion. I called the TAFE at newcastle today to enquire about Photoshop night classes so I can refresh my memory in the program and maybe start to get back into designing some things with the possibility and hope of earning some extra money.
Also I need to buy that bike, as well as actually give john a call to have a drink with him. I want this year to be a productive one.
Anyway, that's about it for now, until next time I come back with something worth typing. Hopefully this time though it wont take me 2 years to post again

Saturday was a good day
Well saturday started around 11am. I had been out the previous night for Toms 18th and well, some drinking. Matt and Sam had come all the way from Canberra overnight and got in around 4.15, not long after I got home.
Anyway I had decided to have a BBQ lunch, and seeing as how it was nearly lunch and not wanting to spoil my appatite I skipped breakfast. I messaged the guys, Adam, Heath Panaho and Wayne to come round at 1.30. Wayne could not make it, however we were to see him later in the day. It was around 2 when all the snags were cooked and we got to eat, with Adam, Matt and myself sinking back some cold drinks. We spent the afternoon catching up and watching Family Guy and Entourage while enjoying our alcoholic bevriges.
It was aound 5.30is when Adam Matt and I left for the RSL for Camerons 21st. We were to meet up with the other guys later. Dinner at the RSL was pretty good, and what was crazy was Tamika's 19th group was just a table away and it consisted of people I knew from work.
Adam, Kasey and I left the RSL around 8.30 and walked up to the bass bar. A journey that saw me having to listen to and endure the drunken antics of both Adam and Kasey. But they made me laugh. $5 at the Base Bar got us in to see Duck Puppy, a new band with original music and on Bass was our good mate Wayne. The turn out was great. Panaho met us up there.
After Duck Puppys set and a song of the next group Panaho drove us to the Vic carpark where he decided his car would remain for the evening in order to enjoy some drinks with us. We walked to the Capital, got stamped and then headed back to the Vic. Straight to the Bar is where Panaho and I went, ordering 2 tiqilas and a chaser afterwoods. A random girl at the bar decided we didnt have enough salt on our hands, and so took it upon herself to give us more. My palm tasted saltier then the sea I think.
We then went and in the corner near the back bar rocked to the band playing which was none other then the Mighty Yak. We had a bit of a chat with Luke during the break before I headed up to the Capital.
Inside the Cap was almost every person I know it seemed. Tafe mates, work mates, old school mates. It was just a great night.
BBQ lunch, Rum, Rock, good Mates, and Dancing with a pretty girl.
Like the title says, Saturday was a good day.

Saving Six months, Faeturing "Tom Crap and Katie Hollow Head"
Ok ill get the obscure title out of the way first. This is in reference to a conversation Heath , Wayne and I were having before seeing the second Half of the new Batman Movie, "The Dark Knight". It was refering to the fact that Katie Holmes was not reprising her role in The Dark Knight and we all agreed that that was indeed a bad choice, because it rocks. Anyway we started talking about how its probably better she didnt come back and then for some reason started playing around with her name to show how stupid we thought she was for passing it up. In the end we settled on the name "Katie Hollow Head" and her husband, "Tom Crap".
So to more important or perhaps less child like matters. The second half of my title, "Saving Six months" is in reference to the fact that February is about six months away, and it was said thay come February we would go to Queensland. At this point in time im a little worried of that outcome and will have to be doing some serious saving I think. After Car rego and Greenslip as well as a bloody $400 phone bill! And not getting as much work as I would like, this may become a difficult task. Plus end of year is coming up. Birthdays, Christman, and summer which may mean BBQs, Parties and new clothing and stuff. It is possible, I will just have to sacrifice a bit. I want to have around $3000 for the trip, and it is possible, I will just have to watch my bank account and money spendings.
Since my last post we have finished the second half of season 3 to Entourage, however we have not yet watched season 4 due to work hours and other peoples avaliability clashing. But we will get there.
As I first mentioned we finally got to see the dark knight in its awesome glory. Since my rant the bloke who stuffed up got fired and they fixed everything that was wrong about it. Im going to go see it again with Dad on tuesday its that good. Easily the best movie of this year so far. Whilst we were there we got to see the Quantom of Solace trailer which looks pretty awesome itelf, cant wait for that one.
And now for something completely different, lol.
The last two nights I have been dreaming about being with a girl. (No not like that you sick freaks, lol) like as if I was in a relationship. The strange thing is this girl is no one specific. I remember most of it and I dont recognise the girl so im not dreaming of anyone I know. I do know that this girl is really pretty though. Exactly my type. Maybe thats it, my mind just made her up to fit what it is I may look for in a girl. I dont know. Anyway im still looking for a girl. On wednesday night when I was at work this really pretty girl came in. Wouldnt mind seeing her again.
Personally I think all the girls are in hiding for the winter. Or out during the day as Heath says. Perhaps another reason to look foward to summer.
Anyway thats whats on my mind at the moment.
Catch ya's later.

Today I felt lazy
For most people the Sunday after the night they go out drinking doing absolutely shit all for the day wouldnt make them feel bad about themselves and the lack of activities done throughout the day, but for me I felt particularly lazy today. I think the reason for this is because I looked at the week ahead and I have bugger all to do. I have 2 shifts for work because its June and they are cutting everyones hours back due to the end of the Financial year. So this makes me feel lazy.
Today I spent most of my afternoon, seeing as how I got up just before 12 watching Scrubs. I took a coupla hours out to listen to music and draw, but I felt so lazy. I need something to do and unfortunatly there is nothing to really do in wagga. I need more work, or a new job I think. Or both. There are a lot of days when I wish I had a Monday to Friday, 9 - 5 job like everyone else and with weekends off. That way I can plan my weekends a lot better and have something to do during the week as well as a nice steady cash income. Hoping I can get some feedback with the whole doing voice over work, because that would be a sweet gig and many people have said I would be good at it.
Most recently it has been brought to my attention that whatever I do with my life I will need a lot of money. I know everyone wants more money, and its not like before this realisation I wasnt down for getting more money its just I have noticed that most of the things I do and buy are rather expensive. This isnt because I get them because they are the most expensive thing like some people might, no it just always turns out that way. I live my life by the "I like what I like" and thats the only way I can explain it. You see it just seems the things I like are aways expensive. And sure your probably reading this saying, thats stupid everyone likes the more expensive thing its just weather or not they can afford it. No I mean the more you could show me a picture of many things and probably 9 times out of 10 I will like the more expensive one. This applies usually for cloathing, technology and food. Food is an entirely different matter though, thats based on taste and I can never figure out why people would pay less for something to save a few bucks if they didnt like it. Id rather spend the extra money and enjoy my meal. And fair enough sometimes we all cant afford the nice things we really like but you understand what I mean.
I think the paragraph above is also partially due to the Entourage addiction I have and a conversation Heath and I had the other night. That and imagining the $58 million I wish I had of won. I know everyone who entered all accross Australia (say it like Dr Cox) really, really, re-healy wanted it also, but c'mon, im 20 years old and that kind of money would set me for life. I know a group of blokes from Melbourne won it between them so good on them.
Another thing thats been on my mind lately is the fact im still single. Now according to people out there its always "strange" that when your taken you kinda miss being single. Yeah, well Ive never known that feeling and after being single for a while I can tell you I dont think I would want to go back to it for a while. I guess this ties in with the whole being lazy title in a sence that whilst some days I am at home doing bugger all and watching TV both my sisters might be with there boyfriends. I guess im just sick of being single. But I aso feel that before I can really get a girl I need to have more money and stuff as well as my own place. Well not nessecerily my own, but not living with my parents. I dont know, maybe im talking shit.

Time Keeps on Slipping
I thought I might do a post about what has been happening of late. I often do regular posts about tafe work, my thoughts and aimless ponderings or what I did on the weekend, if it was exciting but I havent really posted anything about whats news really.
Well it is the beginings of the month that is September and for me that means absolutly nothing, lol, except the promise I look foward to for half the year of an increase in temperature. I like the sun.
Tuesday I finished my Harry Nixon Electrical assignment, Yay! We have a new photography assignment, but that should be cool. Went and saw the Bourne Ultimatum as you will know or find out one post down. I still need to see Die Hard 4.
Bought some games on Tuesday, "007 From Russia With Love", its ok, but I might return it, not sure yet. And Tom Clancy's "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory". Its the first time I have ever played a Splinter Cell game and I am quite enjoying it so far.
Holidays are coming up! Hoping we dont get any assignments to do during them cause that would suck.
Thinking about having another 4 day weekend and renting movies.
Going to Canberra for 2 days for cousin's 21st, should be good, might buy stuff when I go shopping.
I want an iMac.
Thinking about the future (next year).
Saving money, well some of it.
Want to travel to the states and see everyone I met
Want to move to Queensland
Love Thank God Your Here. [in Australia, the ORIGINAL and BEST (I saw some of the american one, wasnt impressed)]
Wish I could do something when hot chicks walk into work.
So that is basicly all the news and events in my life I can think up at this moment.

Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend Part 2: "yep you can read some pretty interesting blogs on there..."
Hi everyone who's reading this.
Alright, for the last I dont know, maybe half an hour I have been fighting in my head as to weather I should post what it is I am going to post about. This idea was brought to my attention by 2 people, first my mate Adam, which most of you will know, and second is the young lady this post is about. I wont give names (incase she doesnt want to be named), but she knows who she is.
You see almost a month ago, (if you ad maybe like 10 days) I went out to a fairwell at Ramano's. I even posted about it. If you cant remeber it go refresh your memory by reading the post entitled; "Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!"
Anyway I recently become one of those people with a myspace, and myspace also has a section for blogs. But seeing as how I use this site for my blogging I simply placed a link in myspace to here. This I forgot about. Until now.
You see the young lady I talked about earlier in the post "Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!" well she also has a myspace. I came accross her page one day and so decided to leave a comment. However in Myspace you cannot do that without them adding you as a friend. So I opted to become their friend.
Anyway, like I said, I had posted about this blog in my myspace blog. So who reads the blog about that night at Ramano's?...... The girl I posted about of corse! lol.
Everyone had a good laugh. (me too, I mean it was funny). And so now this is me posting about the girl reading my post about her. I really should watch what im putting on the internet, you never know whos reading. Oh well. lol.

I wont give names (incase she doesnt want to be named), but she knows who she is.
You see almost a month ago, (if you ad maybe like 10 days) I went out to a fairwell at Ramano's. I even posted about it. If you cant remeber it go refresh your memory by reading the post entitled; "Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!"
Anyway I recently become one of those people with a myspace, and myspace also has a section for blogs. But seeing as how I use this site for my blogging I simply placed a link in myspace to here. This I forgot about. Until now.
You see the young lady I talked about earlier in the post "Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!" well she also has a myspace. I came accross her page one day and so decided to leave a comment. However in Myspace you cannot do that without them adding you as a friend. So I opted to become their friend.
Anyway, like I said, I had posted about this blog in my myspace blog. So who reads the blog about that night at Ramano's?...... The girl I posted about of corse! lol.
Everyone had a good laugh. (me too, I mean it was funny). And so now this is me posting about the girl reading my post about her. I really should watch what im putting on the internet, you never know whos reading. Oh well. lol.

Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!
Ok, Starnge title, I know. And I know your all thinking Lachlans on the drugs, (and for those of you who dont know me... that was a joke. Because I know your sitting there thinking, "oh my, this person was on drugs, then wasnt, but now is back on them and - " NO. your wrong. Remember kids, drugs are bad. Except the ones that make your headaches go away).
Anyway from that small piece of pointlessness comes this blog of Random that are to in someway sum up the events of a Friday evening I had. Last Friday. And oh I know that the formations of type on a computer screen can never really live up to actually living the events, but you will just have to use your imagination.
It all began with a fairwell party to be held in honour of someone I work with because - you guessed it! He is leaving. So this particular function was to be held at Romano's a local Pub and hotel. They, being the people who organised the fairwell, had hired out a private room upstairs. I know "Private Room" sounds a bit odd, but really, what else do you want me to call it?
I decided to go to said Fairwell after people had asked if I was going, and Trent said he would only go if I would. So I decided to go. The night cost me $10 before I even got there! (but its ok, I made it back on the Pokies). Anyway on that day i had agreed to attent the function little did I know how crazy and lolworthy the night was to become.
It started out normal, I met Trent at woolworths, and we then walked to Romano's. This was around 8.30ish and at that time not many had arrived. We went upstairs to the Private Room which consisted of a small dancefloor, some tables and chairs, food on some of those tables, and a small bar which unfortunatly for a female staff member, she was to stay at for the majority of the evening. Oh, and a Karaoke machine, which by the way I might of sung on if they had played Jonny B. Goode.
As the night went on people were getting drunker and the Karaoke machine was working hard with people huddled around it wanting their song to be next. All I wanted was Sweet Home Alabama. "Put on some Skynyrd!" I would shout. But did anyone listen? no.
So about halfway through the night, not expecting to see chicks I might fancy until I would go downstairs to the main bar, Shannon rocks up with some girls from Kooringal woolworths. One of which I kinda fancied. However nothing happened. I'll get to that in a little bit.
So there I was, I had just sat down, as Trent had gone to... Fuck knows where Trent went, lol. He was smashed. So there i was, sitting there, checking this chick out, thinking how I might go over and start talking t them, when she comes to me. Guess what she said? "You made out with my friend!".
WHAT?!
I pretty much said that to her? No I didnt I said. Yea you did, I saw you down the main street. You should talk to her. I tried to keep talking to this girl because, even though she mad no sence, lol, I was interested. She looked pretty and this kinda crazyness she had about her was a welcome change to the evening. So I tried to keep talking to her. And after about 2 hours, I dont think I ever got her real name. Oh and when she draged me over to go and visit her friend, who I had suposidly made out with, my name was to Mark. lol, wtf?
So yea it was kiinda fun to hang around these randoms because quite frankly, I didnt know what was going to happen next. But this girl, it became apparent that she was eyeing of well, I wont give names. So I left them alone to later discover she was infact 21, whilst the guy she fancied is only 17. lol. So when she told me that they had kissed, I asked her friends if she knew how old he really was. When they said no and I informed them that he was only 17, there was much laughter. I dont know what happened to them befre the night was out, because I left before everyone else.
But you know what was cool?! later that night I discovered her friend, was a Tarantino fan. She had the Pulp fiction soundtrack and everything. Plus she knew Rodriguez stuff. So I spent the last 10 minutes of my night out talking about Tarantino and Rodriguez films. It was cool. wish we had of started talking about it earlier.
Sorry this was such a huge post.
To sum up:
Fairwell Party
No sweet home alabama
Drunk Trent
Crazy, but fun Kooringal woolworths randoms
I apparently made out with someone I have never met down the main street as a guy named Mark
Won $10 on Pokies
Talking with random (sorry I cant remember their name) about Tarantino and Rodriguez.
lol, Crazy Fridays.

Thoughts and Aimless Ponderings Vol 3: Blast from the Past
Actually, a woman is more like a beer. They look good, they smell good. You'd step over your own mother just to get one! - Homer Simpson
Ok if you have been following along you may notice that I have quotes from various places to begin my rantings and ravings that are indeed some way relevent to the topic I am about to discuss. Girls. Or should I say women? Girl sounds a bit young. Alright, young women I guess.
Anyway this post has been brought upon because of a Girl I used to like. (funny thing is that it was years ago that I liked them. I mean im talking school, back when I was in year 9 which was in 2003). Anyway I saw them the other day (I actually havent spoken to them since year 9, and unfortunatly, I dont know if I will get to speak to her again). I was working and I happend to spot her, and I gotta tell you, after 4 years I still thought she looked good. I mean obviously she had grown up, and sometimes after a while you dont see the person you used to like the same way you did then. But I wanted to go and talk to her, because I thought she looked good.
Problem is that I cant talk to her. Of course being young and well lets face it, stupid (im now older, and stupid), our relationship, which was only a kind of friendship, didnt end well. Mainly because it just ended. She knew I liked her, and she just wanted to remain friends. I look back on it now and am aware that its my fault, I kinda stopped talking to her because I was, like I said young and stupid, and didnt really know how to handle my fellings. So I did the logical thing didnt I? I didnt talk to her.
So here I am now, 4 years later, and I saw her again. Its funny how something so minor can rekindle old feelings. I guess the reason I am writing about all this is I havent really had the best luck with women. For some reason, apparently im a real "cool", "sweet" "funny" and "nice" guy, but I havent found anyone yet who wants to be more than friends.
Back to the matter at hand though. This girl I saw. She has seen me at work before, I know because ive served her, and I often wonder if she recognises me. That if I was to just say her name, would she say mine back? Or would she just look at me strangly, wondering how I know her name? Because she has forgoten me, and i am just a memory that has fallen into a deep dark chasm of her mind and cannot be retrieved?
And if I ever do get the courage to say her name, and she does remember me, would she be willing to talk to me? or go out sometime if I asked?
I dont know, but since I saw her the other day I have been asking myself many questions. Most of which im sure will be unanswered.
I guess the only way I can really find out is to say her name next time I see her.
That might be a hard thing to do, but I guess at least then I'll know.
