What is ''Normal' to you?

"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.” 

― Ellen Goodman

This woman knows her shit, and styles the suggestive zombie state that we can often slip into...for the rest of our lives very well.

This is one of the motivations behind my decision to chase what I WANT to do, not what I CAN do, despite the implications of money, and returning to education. 

If my career revolved around what I CAN do, excluding bikes and surfing, I'd be raking leaves, I'm fucking good at raking leaves. But I don't WANT that. I want to help others through the shit I've been through in the last four years of my life.

Why?

Because what are YOU going to regret on your death bed?

Biology A Level

Well finally some action regarding my 'Career'. Having talked about maybe going back to Uni and studying Physiotherapy for over a year now, I have initiated the first step and enrolled myself on a home study Biology A Level course. I need a B in Biology to get accepted onto any Physiotherapy Undergraduate course, I don't for a MSC, however even I do choose to apply for an MSC, having Biology will probably be a massive help.

So there we go, I'm going back to study, I've just got to be self disciplined, knuckle down, and get an A Level by June 2014.

Wish me luck!

Fuck everything

I want to go back here were the 'real world' stands still, and all that matters is surfing.

Instead, I'm in the UK, fighting a losing battle trying to work out what the fuck to do with my life, waxing and waining from job to job, idea to idea. Nothing sticks, because nothing holds my attention for that long. Back to that oh so familiar feeling of having no direction. 

Oh joy.

Go here? Go there? Do this? Do that? Stay here; have money, go there; have no money. Money for this, money for that, time for this, time for that. 

Fuck it, at least I can sleep.
