As you may have noticed, this blog has become a bit more...blue (or maybe you haven't, sorry if I offended any of my colorblind readers). Thought it would be a nice change from the dreary white on black color scheme that all my readers (yes, all 3 of you) have come to know and love. Well this blog is going through some changes, so get use to it BITCHES.......sorry.
So during my complete writer's mental block, I went through a couple of other people's blogs. Normally I wouldn't read through other people's personal updates of "Today, I went to the shops and I saw Jill. She is the biggest bitch ever!...but I loved her shoes", but I have stumbled across some that were personal and somewhat interesting too. It's surprising what other people can spill out of their minds into written form, especially when you know them in real life and think that not much must be happening in their heads. But saying that, I'm pretty communitively retarded in real life too, as opposed to the fluent, grammatically elegant author of this blog. Ok...that sounded gay. The point is, if you give a person a pen and enough time with their thoughts, they will surprise you.
My writer's block has disappeared because I now see blogging much differently now. My writing had always concentrated on being funny first, with any deep personal messages always being tucked away in the last paragraph behind some lines of humor. If I had something to say, but couldn't think of anything funny to correspond with the topic, I would usually discard the idea. No one wants to read anything boring, and I'd always thought personal equated to boring in terms of blog writing. And in most cases, that's true. Personal blogs can get so cheesy, but they can be real and interesting. Of course my humour (or lack thereof) isn't gonna disappear in my postings, but they won't be the only driving force of my writing. As long as it's interesting, people would keep reading. So that's the change that I'm going to undertake with my blog. Real and interesting, minus the cheese...just like a pizza for the lactose intolerant.

* Hello Again
Man, I've been so slack with my blog updating. I can blame the absence studying for my finals, going to work everyday, and just plain writer's block. But now all my exams are over, internship has finished up and my brain is beginning to actually be somewhat inspired once more. When I started, this blog was just meant to be me trtying to be funny and posting up random ramblings. But it's grown into an outlet for my brain to explode on, and it would be a shame for me to stop writing on it now. So check up on this space in the weeks to come for more wacky brain exploding updates =D.
So yeah, like i said. Internship just finished up yesterday. I spent the morning of it handing out going away presents to my team that I had been working for the whole internship. The presents included a bin for Farshid, who had never had one of his own at his desk and always used mine, a couple of pen holders for Bob, who would always store/hide everyone's pens in his drawers, a set of coffee cups for Rod, a coffee addict who would usually spend half an hour every morning searching for cups, a dictionary for JB, who's spelling was just plain bad, and a kid's life vest for Jim, who was able to swim 30 laps in the pool in an hour while I was drowning after 1. Obviously, all these presents were meant as a joke, and everyone had a good laugh. I was sure to have bought presents that they would keep around the office as a reminder of my time there. Ha! Lame, i know.
At 12, a bunch of people from the office took me to Star Lao/Thai Restuarant for my farewell lunch. It was a really nice gathering. And then at the end, my boss gave a speech, along with the other member of my team who shared stories of me and my time there. It was really heart warming.
Back in the office, the hours were rolling quickly past. It was almost 4o'clock, and the very last time I would be filling out my time sheet as an employee. I went around the office and said my final goodbyes to everyone, and everyone had congregated around to say their farewells. With everyone around, one of my work mates asked me to play a song for everyone. So as my parting gift, I played for them. So I was there, playing some tunes out of my guitar, with everyone standing around to watch and listen, with the spotlight all on me. It made me feel so... awesome.
So I dedicate this post to the people of Fairfield City Council who have kept me company for the past 6 months. I've learnt so much there and met so many people. It was such an awesome place to work and to just spend everyday at. I have definitely become a better person for being there. So to everyone there, thank you. You will all be remembered and greatly missed.
