Backpacks, MP3 players, passports and realizations

12 days. I leave for australia in 12 days. I hate the termenology "leave" that we often use when we are going off to discover new and exciting challenges. Leave seems so final, so destitude for you never to return. Leave makes me think in 12 days I "leave" my love, I "leave" my friends, I "leave" my family, I "leave" my dog, I "leave" everything in my life that matters...that I will rarely come into contact with them until finally they are no longer around and I am never comming back. Instead I have, as of this very moment, decided that in 12 days I am going off to discover... "I am going off to discover..." how much stronger my love can be when I make my way back home, "I am going off to discover..."who my true friends are, "I am going off to discover..." everything in my life that I haven't realized matters yet. There is a point in our lives where we are equally excited as we are scared and nervous about the same thing. I am overly excitied to go off and discover but I am scared and nervous of what is going to be "left" behind. This is why I have decided to no longer use this termonolgy and only be excited because I am not only off to discover new things in the world but off to discover what in my current world really matters. Don't get me wrong I am going to miss Luba like crazy, I am going to long for games night with my friends, I am going to crave for the home cooked meals and home coooked converstaions with my family but I feel as though they wil once again become all that much more special once I return. So "Cheers Mates" I am off to find myself...........

Reso-whats??

So I work at a gym. A university gym to be specific. The gym newsletter needed a motto for the new year. I came up with "The PAC, providing solutions to all your resolutions". They printed it. Now for the rant part. I am all for people getting out and trying to get back into shape and resolving to make it a regular part of thier day and blah blah blah...But the trend has been as I have seen at this exact gym. Everyone sticks to it until the last day of january and then when you come in on the good ole day of febuary 1st it seems as all those people have totally forgotten all about what they originally set out to do. I know everyone knows this but I have taken to this new thing where I look at something and ecided how it is a comment on society. (for example I saw a crack in a wall beside the door frame and decided it was a comment on the homeless and their want to be accepted in an open society without fallin through the cracks of life). So I decided this resolution is a comment of a few things in society: Number 1) We as a society, a quote unqoute civilized society, are fat, obese, tubby, large and in charge, overweight, puggy. This is a result of all the conviences with take advantage of and then one time a year we go "well I have it so well off that maybe I should work some of this excess convience off and get out to the gym" and then it becomes an incovience and we stop going be cause we live in a fast food world. Number 2) Promises are made of nothing but Piecrust now. Easily made but just as easily broken (thank you mary poppins). We come out with guns blazing and all these wonderful promises and then we put it in the backseat cause its easier to not follow our promise than it is to follow it. That is all I will say about that seeing as I went on a rant about promises like a month ago.

Now for my "Resolutions":
1) Read more/ watch the tube less
I am now half way through the first harry potter, finished the davinci code and have purchased angels and demons (and have access to all the other harry potters). I now watch sports highlights and the occasional las vegas or csi (the vegas one)
2) Stay home more
I have this thing where I go out every night regardless of wether or not I want to. Well I have started staying home more (due in part to that girlie I have talked about). but this is going to directly related to spending time with my rents (especially before I go on a gpood ole 3 month hiatus form them)....ooooo I made a new joke today, well pun I guess. So if you don't like living at home does that make you home-a-phobic!! or if you have an orgasm at home does that make you a home-o!! boom
3) Keep telling bad jokes
Cause even if others don't like them I mkae myself laugh with them and thats all that matters!
4) and lastly I resolve to buy a guitar in aus and force myself to learn something new
I started lessons this summer with the Graham dizzle but they Bam fizzled out so Now I am gonnna have to take my knowledge of power chords and octaves and expand on them so that I can start the formations of Tuesday's Revenge...the all genre band that will blow your mind away but make you fall in love all at once!!

Anyway I am out like trout

p.s. my quote of the day as if I were a single girl: "I wouldn't call me a cougar but I am definately on the prowl...Grrrrrr!"

Territorial

The older we get, the more mature we become the less territorial we become. Everything in life becomes less important that it is solely associated with you and only you. Is this because we start seeing the greater good for things? do we become less self involved? do we stop taking time for ourselves as we become concerned with only the thoughts of others? or is it a maturity thing? I don't really know where I am going with this and nor do I intend to come up with a profound answer to this question. I was just merely driving home today and realized that territory, figurative or literal, has lost some value to me and I had no explaination for why.

Anyway I will be back with another one of these tomorrow...cause as a friend has pointed out this blog )this friend that is a blog) has become neglected as of late and I gotta get back into it before I go traveling.

Peace out y'all

head over frickin' heels

This break has been the most amazing ever. I had such a good time in everything that I did. I am so completely happy right now and everything in my life feels like I could not be any better!

I, Adam Peters, have now offically fallen harder and deeper than ever before. I spent the most amazing 3 dyas of my life ever with the so perfect Luba, We had teh perfect date where I made her supper (fetticuni alfredo, chicken and salad), we went ice skating (I can't skate worth a shit), then for some hot choclate, then back to my place to cuddle up and watch serendipity (which is all about fate...and we all know how much faith I put in fate!!)...then I said something fotr the first time in my life, and I have been riding on cloud nine ever since. New years eve went to a party with the Lub's friends and then to a party with my friends and had the most amazing sleep of my entire life (barely edgin out "The Sleep" =) and then cuddled all day of the new year, otherwise known as my birthday, then went for supper and then came back and again cuddled all night....and with all this being said I have never in my life felt more complete, more whole than I do right now. I am in serious trouble because I can't imagine myself without this girl and I feel as though I might become one of those annoying guys that all about his girl that he velieves to be perfect! BAH anyway enough rambling talk about how happy I am and how I think I have the perfect girl and all that!!

Daneel and Andra and Linner it was awesome partying with you...sorry about being so gong showish hahaha

Anyway tomorrow is the first day of the second semester...and I don't have to go...for the first time in like 17 years I don't have to go to school and I instead will be going to work to save up for an amazing 3 month vacation in australia!! I gotta go peeps but ....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! best wishes to all of you in 2006

Peace Peters
