A new town, a new life...

So in the many months since my last post i have moved, and not just moved but changed. I am now a Longreachian (if i could tm that i totally wouid). I have gone from simple deli man of Sydney to Larger than life groundsman of Longreach. It has been 11 days since i flew into to this flat new town of mine and so far i am thoroughly enjoying it. i have made more friends in the past week then i have in the past year in Sydney, i have discovered a new way of life, involving copious amounts of alcohol, lots of really awful dancing and incredibly loud but awesome music. I have found beauty in the outback in more forms then one, no longer do i look up and see smog and street lights, now it is stars, masses and masses of stars. I wonder now how many people back in Sydney simply do not look up at all for the knowledge that there, there is nothing to see. But here i find it amazing. Something totally remarkable that these people of the country have managed to keep to themselves. If only we had the sense to turn more lights off and let the stars shine a little brighter in the night.

Work. A change in itself, from translating orders to digging holes and slashing lawns. I love it, i go home sore from work not because i lost my cool and beat my hands raw but because i worked hard, there is something truly good in wiping the sweat from your brow after a hard days work, in taking a warm shower to loosen up the muscles that haven't been used in so damn long. Every job has its downside and i have already discovered part of mine, but i still feel like i have accomplished something, like tomorrow really is a new day instead of going back and just repeating the same old process again.

Friends. A smile, a simple smile and i was sold. The horrible knowledge that at any moment my knees may go weak, my brain may explode from exposure to that single smile. I am an idiot, this much i know. my feeling move faster then superman simply from impressions and what i think i know. I am an idiot, this much i know because i have never played a whole game. I have gone the first two quarters and done alright but come halftime I'm down 6 points and still not gaining any, but this time i like to think ill learn from doing and not fuck things up for once. Take things slow. Show people what i can be, show a person who i am instead of who i let people see. I will win. I will succeed. I will be happy.
