It's never too late

to start writing again, sorry it took so long but I have really couldn't be bothered for awhile there. I was having so much fun just kicking it with Tree and River when he would be around and I just got caught up living. I had a home there in Balnarring and I feel like the people I met there where/are great friends of mine. I met so many new people that living in a hostel I wouldn't of been able to. I know that I will go back to Balnarring again besides in October as my current plans are. Ok to catch you up, I worked every weekend, me and my bar manager Johno would run around town and had some very fun nights. We played lots of pool and just observe how childish some people act when they go out. It was the entertainment. Johno and myself actually took a trip on the Great Ocean Road together which is about 6 or so hours of driving and a lot of things to see on the way. Johno was very upset that I would be more interested in our conversation then looking out the window at the Ocean. I mean I've seen in Ocean before, its all becoming very trite and its becoming more about who you're with. That's something that I have now been questioning, I've been traveling for 9 months now and seeing new things are amazing but it's all about who you're with when you see these things. Alright anyway, what else, oh I had a birthday which I spent in the city of Melbourne with friends and I had a great time. 24 seems to be a good number for me, I just got out of my Jordan era now it's time to go Kobe on these cats. After the birthday I spent a couple weeks just getting ready to leave and finished by living with my guy Kenny in the city for a week. Long nights of poker heads up, pool, and home cooked meals. When I got to Adelaide where I currently am, I was lucky enough for my friend Oscar to extend his place to me. Oscar and I met at camp also but he worked in a different part so we really only got to hang out during the parties on the weekends but I always thought he was a cool guy. He lives with his parents also and I learned that there was a large Italian population here, his parents met when they were in Australia and are both Italian. That means wine with dinner and we have been having some great food. I know I'm going to miss the dinners when I get back to traveling because I cannot cook at all. I have a specialty dish though, tacos! My tacos are bomb except I haven't figured out how to get rid of all that grease from the meat so I'm working on that. So my time in Adelaide was supposed to be a short visit, only a couple days, but it has been 3 weeks and I could see myself staying here because its a major city yet it has a small town feel to it because it's very spread out. Oscars been great and we have become closer just because he's taken me in and introduced me to all of his friends within the first 2 days. The first night I get into town I am offered a chance to play netball, which is basketball without dribbling basically, and met all these great people who since that first day I arrived have treated me like I'm part of the crew. I've been watching basketball playoffs with my friend Sam, quiz nights, dinners, movies with Lari(Angels & Demons and the new Star Trek), Adventure parks, countryside, Adelaide has it all. I'm struggling with the fact that I need to move on and with that saying goodbye to this place. With that I've realized I just hate saying goodbyes, when I left Melbourne there was a few people who I considered friends that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to or didn't try to make a chance for that. It seems overdone, while I've been traveling it seems like everyday someone is leaving and sometimes I'd rather just fade away than to make this event of my departure. Also not to complain at all but when I feel like I just need a day or two where I'm by myself and have no one to talk to whether that is in a hostel or maybe some camping time. Sometimes while we're out I just get into these funks where I feel like I'd rather just take a day off from having to even speak a word. I know it sounds quite antisocial but I haven't had some me time in a while where I can just sit and not say a word. Anyway now that I'm back on my travels I shall keep you updated on whats going on with me but just to let everyone know I am doing great and I am learning more thats why we are here.
