Ciao for now.
I like to explore the world and I feel sorry for people that don't feel the need to do the same. People that don't know where Africa is on the map, well...they should be ashamed of themselves. This blog will visualise the things I see, the things I feel, the things I experience. You can read song lyrics, see photographs and read my thoughts and feelings on different situations. Take the journey with me if you want. If you don't, then piss off :-)

"Everything"
Nothing is going in. You're a stranger to me.
My feet go numb. And my eyes fall shut.
You have no sympathy. As you break my heart.
The light falls dim. And the shadows come.
You move your hand away. And my body slumps.
Is this the end? Is that all it?
Everything we had. You're giving in?
(chorus)
And how can you, just stand there while,
I fall apart.
Did you believe, that I would be,
Broken deep this far?
Yeah...
Your words they rest. Heavy in me.
I don't know if I can. Breathe properly.
You stole my time. And you played my trust.
I took you in my heart. But you ran away.
- chorus x 2 -
You were all I wanted.
You were all I needed.
You were everything, everything.
You were all I wanted.
You were all I needed.
You were everything, everything.
You were all I wanted.
You were all I needed.
You were everything, everything.
You were all I wanted.
You were all I needed.
You were everything, everything.
- chorus x 2 -
You talk to me. You don't make sense.
Nothing is going in. You're a stranger to me.
(adapted lyrics for "Everything" by Lifehouse)
"Shadow Of The Mountain"
Of living in the shadow of the mountain?
Does it not ever pull you down so hard,
That you can’t rise up again?
I get tired,
Of living in the shadow of the mountain.
I grow restless.
I lack the energy I need sometimes to stay awake.
But the shadow is relentless.
And sometimes prove too much to stay hopeful.
(Chorus)
How is it possible to stay alive twenty-four-seven when there is no light?
How can you walk on by ignoring this constant eclipse saying it’ll be alright?
We can’t all live in this shadow for too much more.
So let’s go, let’s go.
We can’t all live in this shadow for too much more.
So let’s go, let’s go.
Do you ever grow restless,
Of living in the shadow of the mountain?
Does it not make you want to give up,
And never try again?
I get restless,
Of living in the shadow of the mountain.
I grow tired.
I lack the energy I need sometimes to stay awake.
But the shadow is on fire.
And sometimes prove too much to stay hopeful.
- chorus -
Do you ever get tired,
Of living in the shadow of the mountain?
Does it not ever pull you down so hard,
That you can’t rise up again?
Day ?? - Catch up day
Wifi in Denali and Fairbanks was limited to my phone so it was very difficult to keep this blogging going, so instead i'm just going to ignore the alst week or so and write how i'm feeling today.
I think it's something like 3 maybe 4 days until i return home and in all honesty, i cannot wait! Don't get me wrong, i really do love it here, especially in Denali, but i miss Tobi so bad. Lord knows how i'm going to spend a year in Oz?!

Day 2. Moose Day.
Another highlight of the today was me realizing that bears don’t lay eggs. Let me explain: Before the whole moose thing I was feeling like Steve Irwin…accept alive. I thought I’d be daring and go off track a couple of times to get some nice photos of the coast. Having spoken to a few people about doing this, they always go on and on about being careful for bears…so once when I was off-track, I saw this small round, white thing on the floor and my mind instantly thought…“Bear’s egg!”…it took me about 40 seconds to remember that bears don’t lay eggs…the wild can make you go crazy.
Ciao fro now!

Day 1 - The beginning.
When I woke up today I felt good. I’m glad I didn’t sleep yesterday as I feel that jetlag hasn’t hit me yet and I don’t think it will as I felt a new day had started this morning. My body is so clever. I look outside and of course - it’s light. So I pack up my valuables and head out - in shorts, t-shirt and hoody.
Needless to say that after about an hour of walking the hoody came off as it was fairly warm. Managed to navigate myself to ‘Downtown’ Anchorage which is about 2.5 miles away from my hostel. Along the way I walked down Chester Creek Trail and also a coastal trail which was nice. Got a couple of nice scenic photos.
Had a good look around Downtown Anchorage, and saw the railroad train station - I’ll be going back there in a few days to catch my train to Denali. The main thing I’ve noticed so far about Alaska, which I’m sure is just because it’s America is that everything is so big. Cars are trucks. Streets are dual-carriage ways. Corner shops are shopping centers. Everything is super-size, including the people - which isn’t surprising to be cliché.
Got back to my hostel about 1.30pm ish and am now writing my blog entry on the public computers in the hostel. My feet are a bit sore as I walked this morning (for about 4 hours) in my standard shoes with no socks - ouch. So this afternoon I’m going to rest, do some assignment work and chill to music. My plan for tomorrow is to go to the zoo. I don’t usually like Zoos but the Alaskan Zoo looks alright, plus it’s cheap and it’s south Anchorage which I haven’t explored yet. I’m still deciding whether or not to go horse riding when I get back to Anchorage in a couple of weeks. I say ‘deciding’ as it is $100 which I don’t really have spare - but it would be an experience!
Going to be social this evening and stay downstairs in the social area and hopefully I’ll talk to someone and not just sit there with my headphones in like I would usually do. #Nervous
Ciao for now!

"I Miss You"
Friday, 24 June 2011
"Everything"
Do you feel anything at all?
Do you have any emotion
In your concrete heart?
You're always so secretive.
Don't know why I trusted you.
I used to think it was mystery.
But now it hurts me.
Laid everything out on the table
You had every card to play with.
You're a numbers man who's able,
To win any heart you lay with.
(chorus)
And I gave everything.
But got nothing.
Yet still I gave everything.
Even though I got nothing.
Once was a time where we,
Were able to talk to each other.
And once was a time where,
No one else knew.
But Mr attention seeker,
Aligns with his female counterpart.
You're so alike in your facial disguise.
Playing those around you in your games.
It burns me to question
Why I gave so much to you?
And can I risk doing the same now
For somebody else new?
- chorus -

"It Wouldn't Be Me"
Sometimes I cry so loud that people worry about me.
Sometimes I fall so far that I become unidentified.
I'm in a place that's undefined.
(chorus)
I'm reminded all the time that this wasn't all my fault.
Even though I took the blame you had your fair assault.
Somebody would miss you if you were to go.
But who that would be, I don't know.
Because it wouldn't be me, no.
It wouldn't be me
Sometimes I'm so damaged that I just can't be repaired.
Sometimes I get that feeling that you never cared.
And sometimes I hate myself and I become alone.
And sometimes hell is my home.
- chorus -

"Details"
Click on the link above to hear mine and Arran's cover of a beautiful song by Jason Mraz and James Morrison.
The song holds a lot of memories of a difficult past time. The lyrics are moving and inspirational.
Everyone should always know their name.

"With You"
You make my little heart hurt,
By being so beautiful.
And I can't believe you're mine.
When you say those three little words,
You make my smile start to burst,
By making me so happy.
I can't believe you're with me.
Everything I need I find in you.
And everything you want you find in me too.
You make me laugh like only a loved one can do.
And I'll say out loud with pride I sincerely love you.
(chorus)
How could I ask for anything more,
When you're all that I asked for?
And when you stand under that street light like you do,
I'll hold you in my arms and watch the world go by with you.
When you kiss me on my forehead,
You justify the words you said.
Oh you're so beautiful.
I can't believe that this is true.
And when you lie here in my bed,
And you paint me pretty red,
You make me beautiful,
Just by lying with you.
Everything I need I find in you.
And everything you want you find in me too.
You make me laugh like only a loved one can do.
And I'll say out loud with pride I sincerely love you.
- chorus -
Everything I need I find in you.
And everything you want you find in me too.
You make me laugh like only a loved one can do.
And I'll say out loud with pride I sincerely love you.
