Mannnnnnnn, after reading ez's blog, mine feels so short and boring, hahah but then again who'd wanna know about politics anywayz, it's year 9 Australian Studies alllll over again. I remember that we used to sit there with our laptops and we'd be playing quake all class, with Adrian Zacharias and it was just so funny coz he'd always be the one getting into trouble....... oh and don't forget good ol' anferrrniii thompson....... (use a very heavy english accent mind you) hehehe sigh, poor kid......... just coz he's a bit weird and a bit nerdy and talks all class and thinks he's a know it all, everyone seems to tease him....... ahhhh well, lucky my days of being teased were over after grade 6....... mmmmmm, thinking about it, year 7 and 8 i was kinda still being picked on a little, but yer after a bit of convincing teasing from myself i think the attention diverted from me, and start of year 9 was when the good ol days began.........
you know how people always refer to the past as the good ol days, when you think about all the technological advances we have, faster computers, better cars, more luxurious, bigger tv's, bigger monitors, more kinds of food, takes less time to prepare meals, internet access, broadband, cameras, phones etc
you'd think that we are always living in the era where things are better, but somehow we always fall back and think 'if only we were living back then'. Well, most likely the reason why you'd ever feel this way is because of the position you're in. For a high school student, you dream about primary school, for uni, u dream about high school, for people working you dream about studying, for marriage.... well, who knowz =) hahaha
But i think the biggest contribution to that argument would be inflation, and i guess the cost of living. As you grow older, you have to pay for more things, food, transport, car, credit card, shopping, internet, food, food and more food. Well, i'm mostly spending money on food, so what i'm gonna be doing is prolly try and bring packed lunches hopefully from now on. Will i make my own lunch? I guess i'll have to hahaha, or maybe i can get mum to cook bigger servings at night and i'll just bring left overs..... that sounds promising....
But yes, i think with a job, there comes alot of responsibilities and also the fact that your expenditure somehow booms up. Especially at uni. I was talking to a collegue today about shares and stuff, it's quite interesting..... very confusing too, i mean i think it's very time consuming because you have to read heaps in order to figure out which company is suitable to go for. Of course you could just go for the advice that the comsec gives out etc, but i think in order to be at least averagingly successful, you'll have to do your own research etc. My collegue Pat had like 4000 dollars in shares (which prolly isn't much) but yer, i can see that if i was investing i'd be checking all my companies and reading stuff everyday, which prolly isn't a good idea.,..... i spend enough time doing other stuff, i don't want to fool too much with my money........ in any case, i'm off.... gotta catch a ride home with alistair now =p and yer, go home and sleep sleep eat eat =p
oh, if you guys ahven't checked out jon's blog, you should do so, there's birthday photos =)
