I do love a good rant

The first step is always the hardest, that's what they say. I even struggle to start my own blog..but here goes nothing :)

I'm studying Journalism at the University of Tasmania at the moment. Only first year, but the first step is over with so I'm glad. I wanted to study Engineering but I failed maths so they won't let me enrol. But no big deal, it worked out for the better i think :)

I'm loving journalism, it just seems so....right...for me. When I write i feel free, i love the feeling of expressing exactly how i feel into words. Words have brought empires crumbling to the ground. One word can mean so many different things to so many different people. Like 'love'.....

I love the thought that one day I could be travelling the vast expanses of this world for my job. Getting paid to record history. To make history, now that's power right there. And with great power comes great responsibility (spiderman ha ha :P). There is just so much out there to see and experience, I can't wait to get out there and live my life.

So these days I am living in Sandy Bay, Hobart, with Mr. Michael Absolom. It seems strange to think that a year ago we didn't even talk or anything. But now we've moved to Hobart we've become best mates. I have always said that my friends are the most important facet of my life. Without my friends I wouldn't even be 'me'. My friends have made me into who I am today, and for that I am so grateful.

Anyway that's enough of the nice stuff.....

I hate people so much!

pretty generic statement, but just think about it. Take a second to think about how annoying people are.

I'm driving along and someone is in front of me going INCREDIBLY slow, especially when I'm in a rush. Everyone is so arrogant, they just expect you to bow down and kiss the soles of their feet as the walk over you. I just want to yell 'STOP!!'.....i want to yell 'GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!'....but i don't......i want to yell 'WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?'.....but i don't....they just make me so angry sometimes

and i think what bothers me most is that our society is completely driven by the media and advertising. You can't deny it if you tried.

'Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle-children of history. No purpose or place. We have no Great war. No Great Depression. Our Great wars a spiritual war.....our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie-gods, and rock stars. But we wont. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.' - Tyler Durden
