Nearly 28.

Well.

I had a BBQ slash party today.

And after I really got thinking about life, the universe n'shit.

well when I say that I really just mean my life, cos that's what that really means I think.

It ten years since I went to university, and the problem I have, is that half the time I still think I'm there.

I've been drinking now for fifteen and a half hours straight. I'm not quite as drunk as I could be, but far drunker than I should be, and now, as it always does at times like this, my mind moves into the realms of what could, should and/or would have been.

I think back to decisions I've made over the last the ten years, and try to imagine what life would have been like if I'd taken different paths throughout this time, but I have to come to the conclusion that no matter what mistakes I made, they inevitably led to other good things, basically I realise that if I hadn't fucked up one situation I would never have experienced another great one slightly further down the road. Its, to be fair, a bit of a head fuck, but I have to say that there are things I regret, such as I wish with all my heart I hadn't treated some girls as I did, but I realise that if I changed any of it I would have to change everything that came after it, and I really don't want to do that.

Life’s a beach, and then it rains.

So here's to the South. Drink with me.

Lates.
