knock knock, anyone still out there?
It's been a while, but I'm really proud to see that people are still posting on LJ. It wasn't the intention, but geez facebook has completely taken over my way of internet social networking.
I reckon there's a relationship between the frequency of nights out/drinking and facebook/LJ use. The last year for me(up until about a month ago), it's all been about the Saturday night out getting completely maggot with your buddies and acquaintances, starring in various photo poses, getting tagged in facebook albums and commenting about them with your buddies for the next week until the next Saturday night out. Taking time out to reflect and think about life seems to have taken a back seat, hence the lack of thought mapping on LJ.
I've done this often enough to know its probably just a phase reflecting where I'm at. After sacraficing several years of complete mental attachment to a degree, we deserve a change, so cheers to the times where one can regularly mentally detach, have a wild time and not worry about the late nights for the next month. At least I can finally say I've lived.
But now, my fitness is reaching its peak, I've gone from struggling to jog a km or 2, to jogging to the narrows and back (10kms) quite comfortably. Cycling to work 3 days a week, and playing Centre for my Mixed netball team. I want to do triathlon, and I guess it's time to go dry (or drier at least). I definately feel better for it.
Big plus with not drinking as much is the extra money in the account at fortnight's end. I've locked in my date of departure to overseas at 1 November 2009. Someone slap me if I'm still in Perth by then.
Reading back over my past LJ entries (especially the private ones), I fully appreciate the role LJ can play in keeping one's ambitions on track and going in the right direction.
