so it has been a while. there is no possibility i can fill in all the intimate details of all that i have neglected to write. i realise there may be people scratching their heads and confused, and doing this since my last blog! but knowing i've probably lost all my loyal blog readers, i'm a bit sad. i have let them down and as a result they have deserted me.

besides life has changed. people have changed. the world has changed. things that were so relevant 6 months ago, are no longer so. people that were important 1 year ago, have now moved on to greener pastures. the ones who have stuck by me through the changes, the thick and thin, highs and lows have survived a war. these are who my real friends are. the ones who emerge from battle wounded but not defeated. the ones who live to tell the tale and have amazing stories to tell. the ones who have a unique insight into my life that no other would come close to getting

so i am getting baptised this sunday. whoa, what a time it will be. the lead up has been more draining than anything. writing up my testimony has brought back memories, some of which id rather forget. others which i know will never be experienced again. there is a mixed bag of emotions, but excitement is definitely one of them. for everyone who is able to witness my baptism, it is my prayer and hope that they will be encouraged, and that if they do not know Christ, to come with an open heart.

so i come on msn messenger or whatever it is called now for the first time in 3months and bang a window pops up, simultaneously they all seem to pop up one after the other. some say hey bitch others saying long time no talk! now i cant get these people off my back so i can actually get some of my assignments done! who created such evil!

so i have 2 weddings within the next 5weeks.. what do i wear, that is the question. gifts? a plasma tv would be nice.. yeh wait till im a millionaire first.

2 assignments and an exam then uni is over for another year. another year past, filled with memories that will last.

then, totally road trippin it until the car chokes and dies, its likely this will happen when the car goes off the great barrier reef. we will then make a journey by foot back home. this story is partially true.

facebook makes me realise how many people stalk me, or now that i have added them, stalk me on a daily basis. im scared. on the other hand, i can stalk the people i secretely like muhahah

cheers,
Robbie

I havent really had a chance to post from the west- side. But im here at home. The next best thing. I have had a pretty interesting experience the past few weeks moving out , being independant and all.

Theres a really nice girl next door, she looks like shes about 22 and lives with her dad. Shes really good looking but somehow i dont get intimidated by pretty girls, but rather by very intelligent ones (more from the intellect than wittiness). Anyway this girl, she does have a name but knowing the internet, its a very unsafe place to have it posted! Besides taking into account all the privacy issues, ethics etc.. its definately not worth it.

So i was havign a chat with her and we talked for a few hours! shes only in year 11 but shes got the maturity of a person whos about my age! I dunno what i should be telling myself when i encounter people like this. Society has become pretty messed up that its almost wrong to talk to anyone below the age of 18 if you are over 18. I almost felt like i needed to ask for permission off her dad to talk to her! I couldnt help but think "shes too young!" even though it was just a conversation. Is this the sort of world it has become?

mid-night blog

its 11:59pm on the clock. I have never blogged at such an unusual time. I may have blogged at this time while intoxicated at some point in my life, but to be doing it now seems a little odd- for me at least.

Ive been faced with the whole myspace vs facebook dilemma. I have always felt shut out of the 4th world existence of cyberspace; i have always preferred face to face skin to skin contact. But i cant help but realize having a myspace or facebook is just so convenient. Yes people that you have never liked and probably will never like pop up from time to time, and you wonder what the heck, how did this freak find me? Thats a distant negative. On the positive, we get to keep in contact with those that we seemingly never have time for in the real world.

Like i definately dont see myself as a popular guy, far from it actually. But i struggle so much with keeping in regular contact with just a few handfulls of people. Friends from primary school, high school, university, church, cricket team, footy team, workplace, friends of friends, randoms etc etc. Its so hard to even think of all the people that i still consider friends. I hate it because you always leave someone out in one way or another one time or another. Something like myspace keeps it all under wraps!

Well, what i really meant to blog about was the conversion of all these people from myspace to facebook! myspace is no longer in, but rather facebook is flooding the market like never before. I feel so proud of myself for keeping so intune with the times! yeww! im such a computer nerd i love it.

i am writing here because 1. i havent done so for a very long time 2. new comments have reminded me that i have a blog that people actually DO read and 3. that i actually do have the time to write here! i know im a very busy person!

so where do i begin...
For everyone who is out of the loop, i have recently come back from Camp Toukley and the Mid Year Conference. They have definately been two of the most fulfilling weeks of my life, well my christian life at least. I have learnt so much and God has shown me things that nothing or noone else can possibly measure up to.

Camp toukley, in a nut shell, was all about looking after kids for a whole week and providing them with the good news, namely Jesus Christ. Most of these kids came from foster homes and had arguably experienced things normal kids their age wouldnt come close to experiencing. Some dont even know who their parents are while some only know their father as 'the murderer who is doing time in jail.' Showing them love reflective of God's love seems like something any human being fundamentally deserves and requires. God is love and Gods love is shown through his son Jesus Christ dying on the cross for our sins. A non believer will never understand love until they come to grips with this. The kids needed to understand that no matter what they had done or experienced that there is hope of eternal life in Heaven. That hope is through Jesus Christ. Great news, i say! Dont know about everyone else but im cheerin just thinking about it!

Looks like i have run out of time, again! I will blog real soon. I Promise.

im writing here because im procrastinating. and im sure people will read this because they are procrasitnating themselves. Its amazing how things have flow on effects.

Ive had a very crazy week. One day i'll be waking up for uni at 6am then the next i'll be sleeping in till 11. My body is struggling to cope. Im always out of energy and feeling heavy and clogged up. Only for the past week though. Ive got oztag season opener tonight and i'd rather be anywhere else then be on the field wearing short shorts having to try grab the oponents tags rather then their arses. Mind you there is a fair bit more arse than tag, and i cant help it im not always so coordinated.

My friend with name i shall not disclose for privacy reasons got engaged. How exciting for everyone! Its reflective of the advancement in times, where we all grow from children to adults. When its your friend that its happening to, it seems so surreal. Just yesterday you were there comforting them over a nasty long- term relationship break up, the next thing they tell you they are getting married. Crazy! Its a time when you realise how short life is and a time to really look upon your friendships and see how each and everyone has contributed to where you are today. Amazing!

Well i must close off by saying i really did have/ having an amazing week, details of which i cannot fully reveal due to comments relating to this blog being to personal :p
no really i do have a life

ciao!

another one of these seldom blogs...

sometimes things are so wierd that you just cant explain
sometimes you are filled with many emotions that you want to cry
and sometimes you feel a mix of everything that you just want to explode

girls are awesome at describing how they feel, which is why they are so great to talk to when something is bugging you. Something that you cannot explain without saying 1000 different words at the same time. Something that, well, you do not know what. Where would mankind be without women. and why is it called mankind in the first place. why not womenkind. or just man and women- kind. i think human kind will do.

whoever invented coffee is a legend and i want to meet him, her or them dead or alive. without coffee there would be no "lets talk over coffee." i think humankind would be in dissarray and our economy would be bust. what about all those business deals done over coffee, and those deep and meaningful talks. could you imagine john howard saying to peter costello, "hmm that sounds like a great idea, pete, i think we should talk about this over some TEA" yeh great. great idea. it just wouldnt be the same.

anyway.. gotta yet
btw if you havent yet visited my myspace
please do and give generously :)
