Diving in...

I'm not sure what possessed me to do this, but i thought i'd start a blog. I don't know, so maybe one day i can look back at my ramblings and have a laugh.

My name is Luke. Some people may know me as Lukey V, though i'm getting a little over that. At this moment in time i am 25 years old, living south of the river in Perth, WA. I like this city. It's not amazing, but i like it here. My favourite colours are blue and green. Clearly with another colour in between. One time in the '90s i lost my batman forever soundtrack at a rollerskating party, true story.

My favourite things are music, food, and watching great tv shows and movies. My favourite seasons are spring and autumn.

My favourite song ever is paranoid android by radiohead. But i mostly listen to metal, hardcore and the occassional clever indie rock band - though they're hard to come by. My favourite food is mexican, anybody who knows me would say that is pretty damn obvious.

In this last 6 months, my life has undergone some pretty drastic change. I owe it all to a change in mentality. I finally realised, i was letting life happen to me. I was accepting my situation and wishing for change, instead of making it happen.

I've moved house. Sorted out my life, got a car and licence. I applied for uni. I'm not even sure how that will go but at least im making the change and trying something different. I started running. I started practicing my ass off at guitar. Fuck, i'm even thinking of taking up singing lessons and learning french again. Not sure why, but what the hell.

I really opened my eyes.

There were ideas, opportunities and people right in front of me that i didn't recognise for what they truly were. I'm looking forward to what happens over the next few months.

Although, i'm sure part of my cynicism will stay with me. After all, the universe has it's way of tapping me on the shoulder and reminding me not to get too far ahead of myself. A little bit of a 'hey dude... i see you're having a good time... how about THIS!"... Last night i let myself be distracted, and backed my car into a wall. Right there, in front of someone i'd rather not do stupid things in front of. How. Embarrassing. Haha ahhh life, it's pretty funny right?

Anyway, this content-free rambling was pretty much a way to get me started.

I'll catch you around...
