Wow
Last post, 15 and a half years ago, about moving to London. How strange that this post is about moving to Canada - at least temporarily.
Looking back over these entries I feel like I'm such a different person. So much has changed, so many personal and world events. I don't DJ anymore, or rave. Still play WoW though, lol. Moved to London, was dumped, moved back to Brisbane, met Avril, met a whole new group of close friends, bought an Evo 7, went to Uni studying Animation, became a teacher there, dad got diagnosed with MND (still kicking!), went to Japan and USA on holidays snowboarding, Covid 19 ravaged the world and divided it further with opinions on vaccines Q and Trump, Russia invaded Ukraine, Avril moved to Canada, went and visited her, came back - dumped me, now 9 months later I'm moving there too.
YouTube and Facebook were new when I last posted. Tumblr came and went, Twitter got bought by a dude obsessed with the letter X, and the USA tried to ban TikTok, the finest way to keep yourself awake in bed till 2am doomscrolling and avoiding reality.
Spotify for music, Netflix and chill, Tindr and Grind. Android vs iPhone, Avengers vs Thanos, Rey vs Kylo, Disney vs everyone (for the record, I still love Disney).
RGB is king, cars are electric with touchscreens, VR porn exists, waifu's and furries > flesh, Cyberpunk is real, and we now officially live in "the future".
What a wild trip.
There have been a lot of ups and downs; the last few years have been pretty messed up globally, and the last year for me has been the darkest time of my entire life. If it wasn't for a few people I don't think I'd be here now.
So I'm back into metal. Skateboarding. Fell in love with snowboarding all over again after flirting with it over the last 25 something years, and am FINALLY doing the thing I said I'd do back when I finished Highschool: moving to Canada for a full snow season.
I'm scared, and stressed, and am now properly aquainted with how anxiety can make you feel like you're about to throw up lol. I quit my job last week and fly out next Tuesday. I have no idea what my plan is beyond the next week or two. I don't know what I'll do with my life in 6 months time. I still feel like the thing I am meant to do is right around the corner, constantly just out of sight and 3 steps ahead of where I am, but I can kind of smell it's perfume wafting in the air, you know. Maybe this adventure will finally bring me face to face with it - we'll see. Wish me luck.
Anyway, so I'm no longer djdigi, I'm not even dj duanemc. That guy just doesnt exist anymore, I think. I do feel like I need a place to write my thoughts though, so maybe I'll keep this thing tiking while I'm gone, see how different I really am.
It'll be a trip, no pun intended.
