- On Change
-
Thats a big ass question to ask. I think people can change, but they need to want to. I think people can change for better or worse. I think people can change but some of their friends wont like it.
I'm open to change in most circumstances (work, life, relationships & otherwise), but I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes anything else. I like a bit of structure and organisation to most things. I can change but I have to want to change.
And that I think is the case with most people.

- Best Rooftop View
-
It's hard to really pick a 'rooftop moment' as I've had a few and for the purposes of this blog I'm just going to be thinking about anything with a view point higher than my skull.
Also, as Plinky will only allow one image to be posted in the post, if you wish to see more you'll need to jump over to my blog www.wikipeter.net
This image was from my trip to Hong Kong & South Korea, roughly 4-5 years ago. It was taken somewhere I cant remember (god I wish I'd taken notes in the dates before GPS tagging). From memory we had caught a bus to the opposite side of island, to get to some markets and touristy places. While we were there we just began walking about and enjoying the weather and the scenery before we started to follow a sign which pointed to a temple. After what felt like OH GOD I DON'T KNOW 4 HOURS OF WALKING, we found this temple and this was its views. It's always kind of stuck with me because it was just one of those moments where I was able to take in how much urban development encroaches on the environment. That; and I was travelling with my best mate Stu. God I miss that boy. I need to go OS again.

- Things I'll Never Understand
-
You know what, two of these are going to be genders. I've no idea what the fuck men want, and despite having been surrounded my women for the majority of my formative years; I've come to realise that a bunch of women have no idea what they want because they keep moving the goal posts.
Men:
If you've followed my Facebook statuses over the past few months (there was a particular week when there were some absolute pearlers), you would know that I've probably alienated most of Gay Adelaide because they're all (ok ok most of them) indecisive shallow cunt burgers. I've one of these dudes for a few years most of which he was bugging me to "be intimate" with him, and then all of a sudden now that hes going to the gym and got mediocre arm muscles he's decided he justs want to be mates with me. Yeah, you know what dude; NO BODY WANTS A CLOSET CASE WITH A GREAT SET OF ABS AND ARMS UNLESS THEY CAN SHOW YOU OFF IN FACE PUBLIC BUT SMASHING FACES WITH YOU.
Women:
I love the women in my life (and for the purpose of the post I'm talking exclusively about family members), They've all contributed in some way to me becoming the kind of level-headed foul mouthed homosexual you see (read) before you. But what I don't get is A) the constant moving of the goal posts (Hello Mum), B) The self doubt and low confidence issues & C) (in at least 2 of them) their prudish attitudes to some aspects of life).
Lets address B in this post; My sisters are beautiful, Every one of them (I have 3), but they're always trying to loose weight or change something about themelves and I don't think they need too. They are radiant, fun loving women who occasionally go through bouts of self doubt. I wish they could get past this.

- What was the last thing you got really excited about?
-
Theres probably been a few things recently that have sparked my excitement. I've had a few opportunies to hang out with great friends, I've seen one of my favourite live acts play in one of the best pubs in my city, I've seen HENRY ROLLINS, and I've got hang out with a mate who had a tough couple of years.
But I thought out of all those the excitement applies to anything to do with my friends. Hanging out with them is always a treat, I never know what I'm in for in some cases!
I had an absolute blinder of a night a few weeks ago, which just came totally out of the blue. It was brilliant; Awesome day watching one of my friends perform in a competition, then relaxing beers. Shortly after that we'd ordered pizza, began drinking beautiful wine, slowly moving to any booze we could find before we stumbled into the CBD to a friends birthday party( (at which we fucking owned the dance floor) after which we someone dragged ourselves to the local gay bar before once again owning the dance floor too.
I hurt for 3 days after. It was so painful. I get excite for hanging out with friends. Really really excited.

- How I De-Stress
-
Awkward question really, As I don't get stressed all that often. Nothing work related stresses me, nothing in my social life stresses me, family stuff can annoy me; but generally I'm not stressed about things.
Besides my romantic life.
The (non-existant) romantic aspect of my life is possibly the most stressful thing I deal with, and even then I don't think that stress is the correct word to be using.
It's probably more of an annoying itch that doesn't seem be go away. I wan't to have someone in my life again; but I just cant be bothered dealing with the horrid rancid gays in this city that seem to be the only ones that are willing to talk me.
Anyway, this isn't about that; How do I relax in those 'annoying itch' situations; Probably with alcohol, the gym, podcasts, music. All the good stuff.
