Spam
The longer I go without, the more sex-related spam I get. The internet not only knows everything but is also a bastard.
My walks home are lending more inspiration than usual, especially tonight’s what with the dust making everything look smoky and the crickets creeping in the grass and scaring the fucking shit out of me.

Steps
I hate being a stepping stone for significant others. Break my heart and be successful. Break my heart and find your happiness. I don’t make it my aim to break hearts and I don’t want to hurt people as I’ve been hurt, but I want to move on and move up, move away from this and be the person I want to be, something and someone worth being proud about. I talk about my high school...

Cig.
Day 5 of no cigarettes and no nicotine. I’ve been around smokers and places I normally smoke, and have had arguments and coffee and alcohol around puffs of smoke from all angles around me, and was even offered one before at uni drinks, but I still haven’t touched a cigarette. I was so close to saying yes to the dude who offered me one today, and I was just tempted to go outside and put...

Something to remember
‘Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.’
“No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.”
– Haruki Murakami (via andrewharlow)
And, out of no where, comes the fucking wave to wash me away to sea.

Re-evaluating where I stand in what I study
My dilemma in studying sociology and social sciences is that I often don’t know what I should see myself as in terms of race, gender, colonial history and privilege. I know the point of studying such subjects isn’t always to make anything personal, but I find it important to learn about yourself as well, where you stand and what you’re considered to be by others.

Advice
What would you say to someone who has too much faith in people and who ignores so much of the negatives in people that he lets them stomp all over him?

Odd job
At work* tonight, my favourite supervisor pulled me aside to tell me that one of the female supervisors* thought I was cute and then proceeded to compliment the both of us and say we’d make a great couple and we’re about the same age and whatnot. Then I said I don’t swing that way. Then after she got over her surprise and asked why I didn’t tell her earlier, she said...

On why I hate technology
I hate my laptop because it died and can’t be revived, taking with it everything I had on there until I can find a way to transfer data from it’s memory card. I hate this computer because I have to share it and computers are the worst thing to share, especially when they’re in a study room that’s always busy and owned by a mother who’s addicted to Facebook and...

What I think about when reading 'What I Talk About...
I feel like I ought to run, or get off my arse and do something continuous and regularly. I feel that I understand where the thoughts of the narrators of his books, with his voice, are coming from. Dancing, shoveling snow, running, they’re all really the same.

INFJ
As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and...

I
I am Ryan Buhagiar, I am 20 years old, I am Melburnian. I study at the University of Melbourne, I’m completing a BA in Sociology and Media and Communications, I work, I draw, I take photos, I collect skulls too. For once, I’m starting to see the path I wish to take.
Shocking
Shock or not? A lot of the tweets I’ve been reading about Whitney Houston’s death involve the tweeter being shocked: “It’s such a shock”, “I’m so shocked” or “I’m in shock right now”. I’ll admit she was an amazing singer and I’m not criticising her at all, but to be shocked by her death seems ignorant of all the shit...

H
When I first thought of what to write about the letter ‘H’, the first thing that came to mind was ‘happiness’. How can that be, though? You’d think the first thing to come to mind would be something you’re most associated with. ‘Home’ if you have one, ‘house’ if you’re in one, ‘hot’ if the weather is and maybe even...

Making sense of that fucked up dream
To dream that others are wealthy suggest that you need to draw the support from those around you. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you need to watch your spending.
To see a house in your dream represents your own soul and self.
To dream that you are floating in water suggests that you have a handle on your emotions.
To dream that you are in a fight indicates inner turmoil. Some aspect...

Australia's genocide
“As early as 1804 the British began to slaughter, kidnap and enslave the Black people of Tasmania. The colonial government itself was not even inclined to consider the aboriginal Tasmanians as full human beings, and scholars began to discuss civilization as a unilinear process with White people at the top and Black people at the bottom. To the Europeans of Tasmania the Blacks were an entity...

I really don’t know what’s going on lately; I don’t know what to feel, what to think or what to do with myself. I don’t know why I haven’t broken down yet. I don’t think I’m a strong person at all so I’m just expecting to crumble at any moment. I keep waiting for it, but it doesn’t happen and it’s scary because I don’t feel like...

This deviates a bit from the goal of this alphabet prompt thing I’ve been doing, and I guess I’m selling out a bit too, but yeah. I have a good friend from Canada and he makes videos and gets racist comments every other day and he’s quite the awesome fellow.

The festive season is one of my favourite times of year, even though my family has recently criticised me for it since my shift away from Catholicism. Honestly, although I was forced to go to Christmas mass, I hardly associated my feelings toward Christmas with those I felt towards our friend the Bible. For me, and I’d say most children of my and even earlier generations not in fanatical...

Ecstasy is too easy a connection to be made. Edward Maya is one I don’t want to elaborate on.
People establish their own environments. Our patches of earth are too developed, gardens are too well-kept, houses, walls are too elaborate, friendships guarded and even ideas encased too deep inside each other’s heads. We somehow mastered the world and the environment we evolved in yet...

Tomorrow's Tuesday
I spent all of Sunday thinking it was Monday. I made plans for the day after, which I thought was Tuesday, involving me and others. I wrote “See you tomorrow” to people I’m seeing on Tuesday, which is only now tomorrow, and asked people if they were free “tomorrow” rather than Tuesday.
I made plans for a haircut, lunch with an old friend and some Christmas shopping...
