Kongy's SpaceMay 07 Philisophical Me! (Wednesday 7th May)Hey Dudes!
I've been really philisophical lately...hmm! Pourquoi? I wonder if it's because i'm doing Philo, Politics and Eco? Hmm? I've been deep in thought lately
 Anyhoo, I was reading this really interesting article tonight on "Happiness" by Richard Layard in our PPE reader. It's interesting to see his take on this 'pursuit of happiness' and what it essentially means to be happy or how important happiness is in implementing public policy etc.
Lots and lots of question pop up from this text...comme "what is the greatest happiness"? "how do you find it.."? etc etc. I could go on forever.
I thought I would end with a 'thought of the day' for everyone. It was written by Jeremy Bentham which was in this reading. It was his perspective on happiness...
"Create all the happiness you are able to create: remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you to add something to the pleasure of others, or to diminish somthing of their plans..."
And it goes on. I guess I can relate to all this
This last month and a bit has really given me a chance to look into who i really am and I guess that's a good thing. I've got lots of plans that i hope to do and lots of others things Wow, I've been writing my thoughts onto my blog lots lately haven't I? I guess that's what it is for!Anyhoo, just thought I would update my blog since I haven't in ages. Hope the rest of you guys are well! Uni is nearly over for the semester! Home stretch now till mid semester break which is going to be sweet!
Catchya laterz! If you've survived my philisophical side..FELICITATIONS! April 09 The PresentHey friendlies and everyone out there who reads this!
Apologies for that stupid last blog
No I do not need to go to a mental institution thankfully..yes, i already checked if i needed to jksSo I've been extremely negative lately (I wonder why?), as you've all noticed, and its taken me this long to reach this stupid realiasation and conclusion! It's hard to leave the past behind..all these memories left forgotten but it has to be done! Bonfire at my house btw (fire restrictions still?)
...I could never do that! And yes, when I find that day when everyone is free, you guys should come over! Besides, I'm sick of having this 'mysterious nick house' which no one has seen insideYou can all meet Lassie who saved me from a well! The one person you believed or thought was someone in your mind, isnt actually that person! The one person who your brain keeps telling you, is that person....is not that person! And then it hit me, why should I put my life on hold against everything else and keep thinking about the past? I'm speaking in riddles again!
Life is confusing..always will be but everyone's gotta deal! It's when we actually consider how lucky we are that we're not living in third world countries where we see that we hardly have to deal with anything in our lives. It's amazing how lucky we are! So I re-evaluated all the goals in my life in the past 3 seconds. Maybe I should spend more time doing this! I want to go to space and see the stars!..well not really
I'm actually thinking of really transferring to law now! Whether that be back at Deakin or at Monash. I still love you Melbourne! Philosophy and Politics bore me, French is not what I thought it would be! Oh and happy thought..I got my first H1 in Uni which I was stoked about. It was for my Business Law test!
 35/40 was a major achievement pour moi, having never done legal studies before!I've isolated myself from most people lately and thanks for giving me the space but now it's time to go on! It's time to "put your chin up" and move on from the stupid past you left behind cause who likes dwelling on the past? No one! I was considering building a time machine (pft..maybe i should have done quantum physics or engineering) but I know thats not going to change anything! Although, it would be tempting to look at the future!
I'm going to walk into french today and not be the Nick I was these past 2 weeks but someone new! Fresh start for me in life! I've looked back at these two years and i've actually changed quite a bit! Good and bad! I've done so many new things i've never done and I've learnt each time! You might've noticed or not!
Anyways, I have something to look forward to today! Lunch and then French study group with Tom, Kate, Nina and Moi!
I guess I have something to look forward to everyday now cause everyday is a new day and im not sure whats going to happen! I might evem join the melb uni gym hmmm..i know, i keep saying that I might finally realise that southlawn is actually a good spot to sit down and eat with your matesHaha, I'm extremely positive today! Let's hope i stay that way
To all those who were there for me these past 2 weeks, you know who you are, Thanks so much! You don't know how much it's meant to me!
Oh and did I tell you all that i worked my first job ever at the flower show! I was marketing hand organic moisturer.tough gig for a guy...
This blog is not aimed at pushing away that person that cared about me so much for these last couple of years I could never do that. Its not about pointing out every negative. You know you still have a special place there and besides it's not like we'll never speak or see each other again! Its about me starting afresh and starting again because I can't keep holding onto this one thing!
Anyways, I'm off to uni now! Silly 9am days
but thanks for reading my thoughts and you'll probably have nothing to say so dw bout commenting. T'inqutes pas! Kung fu panda won't hurt you!Catchsky Everyone
Nicky Nick Nick or Kenicky again or Nicksta x
April 07 I am unknown.....Well i've reached a point in my life where i am absolutely unknown..... This probably doesnt make any sense what so ever but oh well! I don't even know what im on about...my brain has hit overload!
Well that is all. Maybe i should go ponder about Machiavelli or John Locke? Hey John Locke is in Lost
 Coincidence! Oh Noes! The ISLAND is going to eat them all! I went to lunch today. It was yummy. Friends are fun too cause they just are...yay!Maybe this should be the most random post ive ever done so CHEESE ON THE MOON!
umm..yeah, what to do? hmmm? I'll cheese your camera if you camembert my cheese.
rrrrr!
PPE is random. I'll recipricate you! Stupid general reciprocity principle. Yes, Go get a job and work for the DOLE! rrr!
And Avalon Organics, would you like to try some product which is all natural and made from plant extracts in Canada! Ahh Canada!
Oh and Law is fun, cause i can pretend to be a fancy schmancy lawyer! Yeah yeah, whatevz trev!
This is the state of my lovely brain
anyhoo im going to go to avoid further embarassment in this blogau revoir mr blog and i will see you soonish
March 25 I have no idea what to name this... (Monday 24th March)I was going to write about my trip away to Lake Eildon for 2 days but I guess im not in the mood....I wont be in the mood for quite some time...
Last night was a big night! Even after the long drive home from Eildon I couldn't handle it. It was tough
 Oh well, you just have to pick yourself up and go on. If you don't know what I'm talking about, i guess you don't know me well enough...I guess I'll always remember that night...even though it hurts. It'll be the night that changed me forever, well, not just me...Have you ever got the feeling that you wanted a night to last forever but it could never happen? Have you ever wanted time to stop just for a moment...I guess that was me last night.... Every second and minute was precious....
I guess this is all im going to write at the moment so im gonna STOP. i really can't write anymore...
They say 'you can't change the past' and every line in that sentence is true. So, to everyone out there, make the most of the 'present' and don't think of the 'future'. just live life like you want to and make the most of every moment possible! cause u never kno when its gonna end.......
over and out,
nick x March 01 The Awesome Science Camp (Fri 22nd to Sun 24th)Hey everyone!
Don't even remember the last time I wrote on my blog so hi again!
Also, just got back from camp so am extremely tired!
And no we didn't play with test tubes and do chem stuff cause that would be gay!So let's just start with....'Thumbs on Table, Chins on Table, Face the Amber, CHUG CHUG...' and there was another longer chant which is stuck in my head atm! 'Here's to Brother/Sister ______, Here's to Brother/Sister____, you'll get pissed tonight, he's happy he's jolly etc...'! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS..says mr somebody who didnt go on O week science camp. Well...it involves Boat Races which was awesomely fun! Boat races..no water, teams of 8, you need an anchor person (don't be an anchor unless you're good with alco
), yeah involves beer. I'll explain the rules whe are you see you peeps next time! Actually, if you get through this blog and comment,i will tell you!This is going to be a very long post cause there is so much to say
Anyhoo rocked up at Melb Uni at round 10.30ish and caught up with Rose for a bit. Then mingled and chatted with random peeps and started our first random group! Kate, Will, Rose, Jenny, Me and Jimmy, there were more people but I forgot.
We ended up leaving at around 3pmish but we were entertained with a BBQ and Elanor being taped to a pole
Whole of the camp she was known as pole chick! Yeah, grog runs to Naughto's kept us going too.
Bus trip up was sweet too! Took the mini bus up and when we got to the highway it was CHANGE PLACES!!! Nearly tipped the bus over moving from the back to the front of the bus! Oh well!
Anyhoo got there round 4.15 to 4.30ish and had our first dose of 'BOAT RACES'. Most of us never heard of it before. Then was catching up with a new group! Group 10=Magenta...EAST SIDE
Got my first mouthfull of Goon too cause i didn't have anything 'kinky' to say about me. Had to do it lying down! Cheap, cheap drink!After that we went to grab our random rooms. I was in Room Twenty-Sex, as it was nicknamed lol! 26. Peeps in the cabin were Jesus (Alex), Bridge (Brigette...crazy camp group leader chick. Dante. Ryan, Tori, Jess...Wow i suck with names
The 4 legless race was next. Teams of 3. I was with Sara and some other guy (Again, it's really hard to remember nanes!) One person in the middle. Tie yourselves together. 6 stations packed with beer around the lake. Middle person has to drink a whole can and the outer people share 1 beer. Yeah, we were ALL tipsy after that. People were already chucking at the 5th station! And there's something about Science Society people and being nude? Station 4, naked beer servings?
Sounds like an alcohol filled weekend, doesn't it? For nighttime it was just CRAP (Crazy Ridiculous Action Packed) Night games and our little 'Shed nightclub' with a DJ pumping the music. CRAP games involved another rendition of musical chairs involving people instead of chairs lol! Lots and lots of fun
Didn't really dance that much on the first night but on the second night.....Day 2 (Le Big Saturday)
So i'm up to day 2 and I survived the nighttime shenanigans. Ended up going to bed at 4. Why? Leaders coming in cabin, drawing penis' on everyone..LOUD NOISES! Yep! 3 to 5 hours sleep, Ouch!
Morning was brekkie, just had cereal and nicked off. There was beer, boxers and yabbies going on but I didn't go to that. Virtually, it was sitting by the pier drinking beer. Just chilled in the room chatting to new peeps. So before we knew it, it was lunchtime. Wow Rice pizza, or gluton free pizza or whatnot. Anyhoo food was alright for lunchy.
Then we had SPORT TIME. You could either head swimming in the indoor pool or tennis or bball and stuff like that. Just played tennis abit then headed over to the trampolines to chat with peeps.
Oh, and have i told you that it's impossible to remember everyone's names! I was going by faces.
Next fun thing on Saturday was Beer-athalon. Started off with some random teams having a 3 course meal at the table and after you finished eah course you had to chuck your table to the next 1. Funness, Well done to Hummer for eating all that SPAM. Feel sorry for the tables though, cause they were smashed after!
Activity 2= A rendition of Jelly Wrestling. Well, something like that. 'Weiners in the air, weiners in the.....'. It was an inflatable pool filled with Custard, Flour, 2 Minute Noodles, Beer. Goal was to get the weiners that were thrown into the pool. If you couldn't do that after a couple of minutes WRESTLE the other person out. Was fun. Well done to Rose and JESUS.
Then the next thing wasn't expected. All the camp leaders made up jelly and started chucking it at everyone. It all ended in a massive JELLY FIGHT and then everyone moved to the lake to have a MUD FIGHT
Really funny.Dinner was next after a while. Went to the trampolines to hang around abit before. Then it was Boat Races. I was in Team Awesome with Tess and other people. We were actually doing quite well in the first round till our anchor couldn't handle that many beers. Oh well, we all tried!
Oh, last round was against the winners of the Boat Races and the Leaders. Whoever lost had to do a nudie run around the lake. Since there was more leaders, they no doubt lost.
After that, Clubbing in our 'Shed Nightclub'. It was like the night before so that was good. Dancing a bit on the floor then we had to move to the tables cause the floor was too sticky from all that beer.
It was virtually dancing for the night and chatting in rooms etc.
Couldn't get to bed cause all the leaders decided to crash our room. I remember at one stage there was 10 people in one bed? Oh and Davo-O decided to crash in a bed in our room. Not that he would ever remember that.
All in all, was a good night.
Day 3 (Home Day...Tired Sunday)
We were all buggered from the previous night so we got up late. Well i did! I was in duty group for Breakfast so I had to go help out.
We didn't have much planned for the last day. Some people decided to do Tyre Races and managed to have massive tyre burns on they're backs.
I can't be bothered writing anymore lol! Bus trip back was 'no alcohol' cause 'we would get pulled over and checked by the police'.
Anyhoo thats all of my long blog. For those who survived....Well done! Next blog entry wil probs be about Arts Camp or First Week of Uni!
Catchya
February 05 Long time no See (Oh hi Mr Blog):)So hey everyone,
I'm back! So let's update what's been happening in my life......
And thats about all I remember so I'm going to dedicate the rest of this blog to what happened on Sunday the 3rd of February Well, I'm sure most of you already know....We went to Roses' Masquerade Ball to celebrate her birthday.... HANG ON....O shit, that was a year ago Anyhoo, it was Ams and my 1 year or 12 months on that Sunday which was sweet but most of you already know that already. I just got back from a weekend away at Lancefield for a wedding (Yes...Free alcohol, altho i did only have a glass of white wine) Went to pick up Ams at round 5.45pm..oops i forgot to specify a time but Oh well! Then we watched CSI a while. God i love that show................. Anyhoo we then went training to the city for this 'thing' which i had organised. Walked along Southbank from the back way of Flinders Street and went to CROWN! No we didn't gamble.... Had a nice dinner at the Crown Pub. It was our 'spontaneous' dinner...i didn't plan it:P I had the chicken parma and Ams had the Fettuchini (can't spell) Carbonara. They actually have really nice food! When its my turn to pick dinner we're going there. Hang on...I still have to organise my 18th Then it was CINEMA or MOVIES time. I didn't buy tickets...or did I? Damn...I was all out of 'Surprises' for the night! So we were walking back to Flinders and Ams gave me her sweet little Red Box filled with lots of Goodies. I got beady surfy necklace thingys and a bottle opener which was engraved Then we got back to Darling station and in the car I gave her an envelope! AND THE THING FELL OUT! Back at home her mum was waiting for her! Adding to Pam's quote list...'Are those real diamonds...' Just stayed a little at Ams' then headed off back home. That's all there is...there isn't...anymore! All in all, it was a memorable night which we won't forget in a while! And with that, I bid you all 'adieu' until my next blog! Probably be bout Science Camp or with O week Madness at Melbourne! Catchksy
January 01 New Year's Eve 2007 (Monday 31st Dec)Happy New Year Everyone!
Just think....the same time last year, we were waiting to start the dreaded Year 12 and stupid VCE and now we're free. Well...just waiting for Uni to start haha!
So I'm going to go write about what happened during the night! Interesting night
The girls (Sof, Ams, Ems, Rose) picked me up at my place at round 2pmish in Sofs blue holden astra. It was bloody hot outside...I think the highest temp was 41.5 degrees! Haha, Sofs car is copping a mention is this blog
Then we headed off to Safeway to buy some BBQ stuff to eat and food supplies to last us a night.Haha funniest thing there was the argument over 'Salad dressing' and which to choose! Wow, it was a big deal haha.
Then Ams got rejected from buying Bayleys because EVERYONE who entered the store had to show they're ID! Right.....
Back to Malvern to Sofs new place and POOL TIME!
That was entertaining, i think Ams and I lasted in the pool for 2 to 3 hours! Just random swimming and talking. I kinda tuned out when the conversation got to 'Cleo' and Photos in Cleo etc. haha!
Guys arrived at round 6pm and then we just bummed around at Sofs, chatting and drinking and etc.
Anyways I can't think of anything else interesting that happened! Ams and I stayed at Sofs for the night and yeh...thats bout it! haha we were watching Silverchair Live on TV at round 3am! I was totally dead! Well comment peoples and catchya all l8erz! PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK!
