PARTY PEOPLE!!!

[Googled]

Yacht Club Dj’s! I need to see these guys live again, Gaz and Guy are amazing mashup artists mixing classic songs with some of the not so well known music creating an amazing elixir for your ears. Playing 'Splendour in the Grass' for the 2nd year in a row, the duo has slowly started to build a huge reputation. I hope to see much success in the future for the DJing duo out of Ballarat.

PS. Did I say I really really want to see them live again?

Arrest This Heart

Damn I'm freezing
But I'm not leaving
I could stay here all night
It took me hours to find these flowers
It took me years to think of you
And when the good starts to turn
Arrest this heart of mine

How something can change so unexpectedly, right in front of your eyes in an instant. Does change occur for the better tho? My heart says yes but my head says no. A little while ago I did something nice for a friend, I had an unexpected wave of emotion over come me when confronted with their reaction, causing a new look upon the relationship at hand. Ever since I've been unsure about what to do, to tell her how I feel or just let this time take it’s coarse and leave our friendship unaffected. Hiding behind lies of normality, to avoid suspicion and confrontation as the constant fear of failure riddles me stopping me from expressing myself. What ever ends up happening will be for the better and speculations over what if will be pointless with the only choice to move forward and not linger in the past. Unfortunately it seems my heart is already under arrest until a final decision is made.

Happiness By The Kilowatt

So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for

Days are being lost out to school, I dream for the day I don't have to spend hours wasting my time doing something I truly hate. In the mean time I'm stuck and all it seems to be doing right now is causing me stress, over what though? My VCE enter score? The common subject that everyone at school seems to be talking about. People are struggling to balance their lives between school aspects, social aspects and everything else this year throws at them. But as stress press's down on all of us, it seems to be showing more with some than others, with some seek help as others are letting it build up. Just today I sought help to deal with my recent sleeping troubles, a long chat with the school nurse and a booklet later I hope to deal with the issue at hand. But the cause of this problem is still a bit cloudy, it could be slight social tension at school between others or just purely VCE it’s self. I just know that this year is not what I hoped for.

Ice Cream

he could have a knife, stab me in the gut

bleeding on the floor, shoulda kept my mouth shut

and i dont know how to react, or if i should fight back

ice cream is gonna save the day

No matter what the day brings, ice cream is always going to save the day. Such a big claim posed, can this sweet treat hold up a claim like this. Well unless your not a fan of this universally loved treat, it will constantly save the day. As bad as things are you can always rely on ice cream. A Chocolate coated Magnum, a Bubble O Bill, a Boysenberries Cornetto or just a plain serving of vanilla ice cream the mixture of creamy goodness and smooth texture can make even the worst of your problems seem to disappear for just a moment. A moment of pure bliss, when nothing else matters except for this moment, saving the day from absolute disaster with only a single moment.

Reassurance Rests In The Sea

Another year I've wasted,
Were those really our steps that brought us here?
That held you near?
Through fantasy each of our games wonder through life,
Calling our their names... Yesterday, today, and tomorrow never foretold! of time so vast!
And of the worlds and lives they would roam, Those so many places, so far from home!

Doubts, regrets and uncertainties of yesterday, today and tomorrow will forever weigh down upon us. Making the most of the opportunities seems the hardest task given to us over the course of our lives, and this year has already brought more than its hand full of these flaws. As VCE continues to pose its challenge’s, life seems to have its own banking up just waiting to be pushed upon you. Currently uncertainties lie in my thoughts and feelings towards myself and others in my life, doubts about whether I'm doing all the right things, and regrets about situations that could have easily been avoided. But with tomorrow lingering the only thing I'm able to do is press on and disregarding this unnecessary baggage and make the most out of what’s given to me. Not letting another year go to waste and let my own steps guide me to where I belong.

Something Fresh, Something New

The first words written on a blog, the excitement currently being experience is FANTASTIC!

So what to start with, well i first had the idea of starting my own blog after my friends Elly and Gemma were talking about there blog pages, 'Life and Lights' and 'The Girl and The Sea' at my school theatre rehearsals. A day later and I actually decided to start my own, 'The Same Boy You've Always Known'. I decided on the name after much deliberation as the one you see before you, derived from a White Stripes song title. I felt it really reflected me as a person because I'm not one for changing myself as a person at all, so the connotation with the song title sunk in and will remain this blogs title for the duration of my blogging life.

A little about myself I'm 17, going on 18 (100% legal) towards the end of the year. I live with my mum, little brother and sister which makes for very eventful living. I go out a bit even though I really can afford it, and my friends are always complaining about it. I love playing the guitar it’s been one of my hobbies for a long, long time and allows for a enjoyable creative outlet. I used to play hockey but because of VCE I've decided to take a year off from playing and focus on my studies, I just hope I won’t get fat over this year because I'm not exercising enough.

That’s enough from me tonite, I hope for many more blogs to come.

till next time.
