Here in Queenstown my life is taking on a soundtrack in this surreal environment. Sometimes my memory consists of a swirl of blinding lights or a blurred group of people through the foggy bottom of a glass thats emptying down my throat. Smiles, laughter, hugs, kisses, back slaps, high fives and all the things good in life blend into a concoction of euphoria. I have lived more in Queenstown than I ever could have in Townsville, and I find myself growing older, if not wiser, more adventurous and less of a whiney whiteboy everyday. The reason for this is because I land myself in trouble more often than not with my lack of social skills, but they are fast developing as I learn to deal with these problems on my own instead of having others sort it out for me. Queenstown is growing on me, and as much as my original intentions were to travel on to Canada or Europe from here I’m considering finding myself an apprenticeship here so that I can finally get a qualification. Sometimes it is a little embarrassing talking to a group of travellers who have all done their share of uni or a trade before saving their money and coming out into the world to look for work. They have a good old conversation starter there with what their occupation is back home, and all I can say is “I coasted since high school and made three failed attempts at uni. WADUP WITH THAT YO?” So it’s currently in my best interests to find a form of employment that will see me gain some sort of qualification so that I can chat up the ladies better ;) If that doesn’t come off I have been considering travelling the coast of Australia as well, seeing as I’m from that country and have nothing to say about it when everyone over here asks me. Basically I know one cruddy little hotspot filled with aggressive AJ’s, and its hard to make that sound good when someone asks what Oz is like. At the same time Canada is appealing to me with its mad as snow scene and after meeting a few Canadians here I’m interested to see what the rest of those mad dogs are like. These are just thoughts and considerations though, because at this stage I’m happy here, and I’ve not really been happy anywhere in a long time. My new home is spectacular, its small and cosy but its got all the whistles and bells. Now that I’m settled in I’m good to have visitors as well, my new housemates should be more than cool with it. So keep that in mind everybody. For now, I’m off for another Fergburger. HELLLLLLLLZZZ YEAAAHHHHHHH.
