CAN YOU HEAR ME MAJOR TOM?
To be honest, I never did and probably never will know who reads this blog. I suppose I'll keep it going as where I bear my soul to the world as opposed to my livejournal which has a more 'people actually read this and can comment on it at any time' vibe.
Also, here I can bear my soul without a great idea of who will read it. If my mates find it and read it, good for them, they understand my mad mind that little bit better, if they don't it doesn't really matter. On my Live journal the people there don't know me so well and I don't know them so well. It's scary...
If I was a better buddhist, would I bear my soul there as well? Perhaps this is another lesson in 'Right speech', what to say, when, where and to whom. So I was just being over analytical, and trying to decide to end this blog I hardly write on anymore.
I don't think I shall for the reasons explained above. This is where I shall just say what I want and not care if people read it. I guess I don't know if people still read. Anybody and everybody could read. I should just blurt out whatever I'm feeling.
Emily, I still care for you.
There, I said it. Now I shan't delete it. This is my soul on the internet and badda bing badda bang I've bore it. Oh well.
Take care,
Peat.

Of other people's computers and stuff...
I reall should get my own computer, now I'm writing on Bailey's and he's not even here! (Jeez, I'm a real embarressment :( ). I suppose I'm blessed by having mates who put up with me long enough to let me use their computers (or do stuff for them, that's it ya hear me ya lazy bums! Joking! Don't hurt me...)
Stuff:
Went to see 'Spider-man 2' last night, what an awesome film! I think the critics are probably right in saying it's better than the original. But what heartache! Gah, I would have cracked long before he did! The Spider-man franchise has always held something more than other comics for me, the angst about not being able to tell MJ how much he loves her, the 'power and responsibility' hook resonates in real life I find. Being aware of such an important ethic is useful.
ANYWAY
The point is that when I watched Spider-man 2 last night I almost felt like it was me up there (plus Tobey Maguire kinda looks like me, aside from the fact he has blue eyes as opposed to my brown eyes). I really emphasised with the character and not just because he has the same name as me (did ya miss my pretentious side? Its back with avengeance now he he). The point is, despite all the pain and suffering Peter Parker goes though it's all worth it. It has a big pay off at the end. I can only hope the pay-off at the end of my particular journey is so...well you know what I mean.
Yep, still single.
Rock on,
Peat Parker

ZOMBIES!!!
The sound of a shotgun blast, the groan of the shambling zombie, the hurried yells and running, the barricading of doors and the smashing of zombie brains with a cricket bat. Marvellous.
Sorry, just set up another fictional livejournal all about zombies and how me and my two buddies (Stu and Lex) fight and survive a zombie invasion. Could be fun, could be lame and no one writes or reads it.
Take care and stay cool,
Peat.

Took a 'Which roleplay stereotype are you? quiz. Look what came up! (Well, it's better than Hitler...)
Find your Role-PlayingStereotype at mutedfaith.com.
Then found this one on Stu's live journal.
Wow eh? Guess I'm irresistable. Am I blushing? I'm single ladies! Chivalrous, honourable, romantic. All of the above? I'll have to let you decide that one...
Hyuk yuk yuk ;)
In other news, Stu/Shanks has persuaded me to start a Livejournal which will cover the area of my life certain other friends may know about. Or something. Have faith loyal reader, this Blog is still my number one priority (I'll just rip off cool ideas from Stu and post them here like I do with Tom. I mean... nuffin!!!)
Take care,
Peat
(Disclaimer: No I didn't try all different versions of my name to get the one which I liked best. That was my first and only time. Peat.)

Productivity
I am determined this summer is going to be worth me not getting a job. That I would have so many other projects going on that a job would get in the way. Well, I've had my break, now is the time of prolific imaginings!
My screenplays are coming along, I think I'm slowly getting better. I've also requested a brochure for the New York Film acadamy (but would study film making in London). It would be awesome to make films, the course does look very impressive, but I'd have to get another loan or something to pay for it. Difficult.
When I get more regular writing time things will come on in great bounds I think. I think I want to be a writer really, live in a big house in the country where I don't look out the back window and see another house, but fields. I imagine I've gone on about this before, but heck I guess it's integral to my being. I tell stories!

Broken heroes
Due to the nature of my life I'm yet again sitting at someone else's computer writing my blog. It's been a while I'll admit and I can't possibly sum up everything I've done since I last posted.
I suppose the most relevant thing to put would be that I definitely feel that I am 'walking the walk' as well as 'talking the talk'. My disposition is slowly becoming more caring than ever. Not to say I don't get angry or frustrated at times but in general I'm getting there.
My faith in people's sense of adventure took a beating last weekend. Despite strange clues being placed on doorsteps, free chocolate and a treasure hunt being set up, my friends couldn't be arsed to solve the mystery given to them. I didn't get a clue, or chocolate so I couldn't help (against the rules). If only an adventure would be left at my door...
Never mind.
Broken heroes is also the feeling that perhaps 'stuff of epic' heroes like my friends and I are doomed to be rejected, or worse get the girl and lose her. Is our sense of romance and adventure misplaced in the modern world?
As they say in 'American History X', always finish an essay on a quote, because chances are someone has already said it better than you before now.
"People say that romance is dead, that the time of Chivalry is past, but the time of chivalry is never past as long as there are problems undressed in this world."
