Readers Beware

So it’s been pointed out that maybe my posts are becoming a bit too philosophical. I guess that’s just the learning process at work. Another issue has been “why have you started a travel blog before you leave?” Well obviously I won’t just land in London and suddenly know how to run a website will I? So right now I’m practicing and learning before I’m outta here and can’t get any help if I screw up – and lemme tell you there’s a lot more to it than you’d think.

Like I said I’ve copped some shit recently because I’m blogging in ‘too much depth’. Hmmm – well first off, if I really was typing in too much detail, you’d hear stories like “I just drank some vegetable juice that had an increase in vitamin C”. I suppose I’ve been writing here like I wrote my 4 unit english paper, so maybe I need to use a bit more ‘slang’ – mate. Nah, that sounds crap – can’t do it that way so if you really want shallow Hal posts…too bad. (kidding! ) But where are all the feedback comments?

Secondly, Paul, Woods, Gomes and all you other chumpoids who want to criticise my creative masterpiece – be aware that the power of blogging is immense. If you guys aren’t careful, get ready to have all 6 of the people who read this blog (Ash Tuttle, Erin, some guy called Sam (dunno who this is), my brothers and myself) find out all your dirty little secrets. I’m sure I could find something, somewhere to embarrass the hell out of you.

As I write this I suspect I’m about to get shafted by a lady who can’t speak english, as we both attempt to haggle about an agreed price on my board with 4 wheels (yes, my car). At this point in time, I would probably accept one of the apples she decided to rock up to my house with. It expires on Friday – no not the apple, the rego.

Here’s what I really think – I AM scared about moving overseas, kinda. I wake up some mornings feeling really nervous, some mornings excited. Donal tells me it just depends which side of the bed I wake up on. I reckon it’s just my brain, not my bed. I’m just looking forward to getting drunk in another country with different beer and random people who can’t speak English.

I hope this post has satisfied some of your expectations. If it didn’t satisfy the sadistic, cynical people – I won’t say what I really think. I know Ash T and Juzzo (the guy who’s looking for a geek to help create him a blog) do like my dreary posts – or that’s what they tell me.

I use brackets too much oui? Why do the French spell yes like that? We spell yes exactly as we should so…

I’m droning on again.

Bye!
