Smile and wave boys, smile and wave...

This is a minor future header for my journal, which will be added once I get around to styling my journal. But this is a quick guide to people !

1. Feel free to add me.
2. Don't necessarily expect me to add you back. It's nothing personal, but I have a lot of friends. I do try to look around every so often though.
3. Normally, I'll only publish public stuff of general interest to people. I try to keep the random crap out of it.
4. If you want to see more stuff, drop a post on this message, and I'll add you to the relevant security groups.
5. Um, any questions, comment somewhere on my journal, or IM me.
6. This is my journal. If you don't like the content, fuck off.
7. By many people's definitions, I'm a mouthy bastard. I'm confident, brash, and don't care if people don't like the way I think, the way I act, or what I do and don't like. Get over it. I did.
8. I'm not going to mince words, nor am I going to take sides. Whoever asks a question gets a straight answer. Whether they like it or not.
9. I've seen enough LJDrama to last me a lifetime. If you're going to bring it to my journal, fuck off. I can't be arsed anymore.

So there we go. Have a nice day people.

(And no, the journal layout isn't permanant yet, I'm working on a new layout as we speak.)

Welcome to my screwed up life. I've decided to write all this down so people can see what's going on, and have a bit of an insight into my life. And maybe one day I'll understand all this.

(You know, I wrote that over two years ago. And I still don't get it. *chuckle*)
... Well well well. Rick finally DID figure it all out. It sure as hell took a while, but I've worked out my life, how my mind works, and what the score is. And you know what I learned?

I have stopped taking shit of people and companies. I refuse to accept things which are substandard to me if I'm paying out for them. I realised that my past doesn't control me, it simply is part of my history. I am more then the sum of my history and my actions. I understand who I am now. I'm determined to achieve whatever I aim for. I'm not afraid to reach out to achieve what I want to achieve, regardless of the possible hurt or consequences, because I cannot be hurt by rejection. If I don't try, there is nothing to gain, and if I don't succeed, I have lost nothing. I'm becoming fully self-sufficient once more, ready for when I leave here. I am successfully adjusting my weight, and exercising. And above all... I finally feel somewhat at peace with myself.

Bollocks to the social bullshit. Bollocks to the people who get in my way. Bollocks to the dickheads who try to piss me off. Fuck 'em all. I'm taking no prisoners, and will speak honestly, bluntly, and really don't give a fuck.

My life is finally my own. And hell, I'm going to live it. My way.

... And since then... 20050926...

Many lessons have been learned. Logic is not always the answer to all things, but it does help define and understand them. Some things are not logical, some things simply should be accepted, and some things shouldn't be analysed to death. And some should.

Whilst I'm good at giving general advice, I'm beginning to learn more to share. Whilst I have kept myself very guarded in the past, some very big lessons have been learned in the last 2 months or so. I thought I understood and had figured out life - the truth is I'd figured out a lot of the logic behind it... but to truly understand it takes something more. And that is the journey I am currently on...

Life's amusing. Enjoy it. Embrace it. I am. And laugh at those who try to cause shit. Karma works. ;)
