Risk - It is a scary thing. Regardless of the size of the risk. What's it mean you ask?
Risk - hazard: a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune.
That makes is sound shit scary.
1. It's a hazard. That makes it sound like a nuclear hazard, well scary.
2. A source of danger. DANGGGEERRRR
3. A possibility of incurring loss or misfortune. I don't want to incur loss or misfortune.
So right about now, I think I've made risks sound a lot more scarier for you. That is not my intention at all, I promise you. Risk's are good. Risk taking makes life more interesting and a little less boring. In my last post I touched on going to china spontaneously. Risk? Yes. Payed off? No.
But that's why it's a risk. You win or you lose.
You throw the dice.
You flip a coin.
You try the pokies.
And does it always pay off? No. But when you take a risk and it pays off, you've never been more glad you did something. You are confronted by risks everyday. Small risks and big risks.
Small risk? Swearing at the teacher once their back is turned.
Big risk? Jumping out of a plane at 30, 000 ft.
At this point in my life I have only undertaken 1 of those risks and seeing as how i'm such an angel, it must be number 2 right? I kid, I kid.
Risk it or don't? There is too many different situations that are risky for me really to offer you an 80% solid answer. If your going to live and not have any major life impacting issues, go for it. If you will be greatly affected and never the same, steer clear yeh?
So, risk. Is it as scary as you think? That's the ultimate question to ask yourself.
Risk - hazard: a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune.
Wrong.
Risk - The opportunity to dive into something unknown or different with both good and bad possible as an outcome.
Correcto.

Opportunity.
Opportunity. It affects you every day. Every single day.
Opportunity - a possibility due to a favorable combination of circumstances.
Ahhh lot's of big words right? Pretty much what I take away from that is an Opportunity is something life throws at you and you do or you don't. There is no in between. You either seize the day and you make something of it or you let the opportunity pass you and continue to live your life unaffected.
"Carpe Diem" Seize the day. Buy the t-shirt. Get the bumper sticker.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Really? That's ingenious.
Or do you go by Forgetting Sarah Marshall,
"When life gives you lemons, just say "Fuck the lemons" and bail."
But really use what your given, to make the most of what you've got. When you get an opportunity offered your way, use it. Don't abandon it. Someone says to you,"Hey, I'm going on a road trip to China, keen?"
What do you say? You've been offered the opportunity of a lifetime. Do you turn it down? Do you continue your studies? Do you continue your apprenticeship? Do you continue your job?
Or maybe, you bail. You go to China. You have a terrible time, everything sucks. It takes you too long to get there, you have to sleep on the streets, you come home sad, angry and embarrassed. People don't understand you for going, people laugh at you, they think your a moron. But you had an experience unlike no other. An experience you will never forget. For now, yes, you may be pissed off and angry for going but if you can look back and laugh about the whole situation then wasn't it worth it? You traveled, you went somewhere, you DID something.
When you turn down an opportunity, you never know exactly what you could be missing out on. Transformers quote: "10 years from now don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?" You turn down the slightest opportunity could have you missing out on a great adventure, a great story and in general a great time.

Ambition and Aspiration.
(First of all this blog is dedicated to Mr. Chad West. Absolute champ.)
Ambition I feel needs to be accompanied by Aspiration.
Ambition - a cherished desire
Aspiration - a will to succeed
If you have a cherished desire, then must have a will to succeed to make your desire a reality. Righto? So step to it soldier. Get your priorities right and get moving. If you really want something, like reeeally want it, then go get it. You have no restraints other than the ones you make for yourself.
Really, that's bullshit. People say that so you feel like you can do anything, when in reality there is a lot that cannot be achieved. For example,
I will never give birth.
I will never look like a badger.
and most important,
I will never, never get to own a real life Transformer. Despite all my wishes.
But, you should still always aspire to achieve greatness. Strive to greatness yeh? You can't always come first but hey whats wrong with 2nd? 3rd? Anything else?
There's nothing wrong with being last really. It's a place, you tried. You didn't come out on top but you gave it a go and that's the main thing right. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
Correct?
I pose questions at you mainly because I have my thoughts and comments on the matters I blog on but ultimately it's your decision. I can only share my thoughts and you may or may not take something away from it. I would like to think you are perhaps a little wiser?
But really, what do I know, blind leading the blind really.
Anyway, little bit off topic. Ambition and Aspiration. What is your ambition? Think about it. Obviously you have more than one ambition, if you don't your a very boring person. What are your ambitions in life? Think of them. How have you worked to accomplish these ambitions? Have you at all? Have you even partially? I know, trust me I know sometimes you think of an ambition and you think,"Is it really worth it? Really?" Well your the judge, it's your ambition. Is it worth pursuing? Personally, regardless of your ambition, I think it is. If it is an ambition of yours then it's damn well worth pursuing.
What do you aspire to? Do you aspire to be a straight A student? Do you aspire to be a nurse? Do you aspire to anything? Think about it, if you don't aspire to be something then your a nobody. A pointless.
Every day you wake up think of something, ANYTHING that is worth getting up for. Then aspire to do it, to meet it, to talk to it, to ask it out. Whatever the hell is worth getting up for in the mornings is damn worth aspiring too and is a damn fine ambition. Get out of the crevasse you've been living in and go and live your freaking life.
Honestly, who knows what happens after death? So use the one chance you've got, don't waste it.
Do whatever YOU want to do.
Be who YOU want to be.
Talk to who YOU want to talk to.
Date who YOU want to date.
Be exceptional, be amazing, be intriguing, be fun, be creative, be crazy, be awesome, be the best, be the king and never..
..ever
..ever
..ever
lose your inner child.
Your inner child should control you in respective situations. Why grow up? Do the adult things but be a child at heart. Have fun! Have a laugh!
Four things you must remember to revive your inner child,
1. Cartoons will always be cool, no matter what everyone else says.
2. Making up imaginary games with your mates and looking like dickheads, is buckets of fun.
3. Ignore what everyone else thinks, jealousy is just humane.
4. The word 'Penis' is hilarious, in every situation. Regardless. It's hilarious.
This blog has gone slightly astray from it's original topic so let's rectify.
Ambition - a cherished desire
Aspiration - a will to succeed
Unfortunately, they're spot on. You cannot perfect those definitions, they are exceptional.
My final piece of 'advice' to you is to live your life the way you want to, not how any one else does and you are great,
you are amazing,
you are you.
And that's why I love you people :)

Control.
Not the one for the telly, you fat wench.
Control as in being in power of something.
The power you may or may not possess over someone or something. For example,
You do control your computer, you make it your bitch. Except when you mistreat it an it freaks out and kills itself. That's always fun.
Same with the microwave, you keep that shit in line.
Anywhoooo back to Control.
Definition - "The power to direct or determine"
All I see in that is Power, To, Direct. And I love it. Who doesn't love being in control? Everyone finds it hard to step back and let someone else take control of something. Unless of course they are completely useless and have no idea what they are doing, so they are quite happy for you to take over. But other than that, it's hard.
If you don't want to be in control of something a lot of the time someone else will take over. Situations suck when no-one wants to be in control and someone has to balls up and do it or else it doesn't get done. A personal example from my own life is the other day me and my mates killed a man because he looked at us funny, then no-one wanted to bury the body. Those situations totally suck.
Who is the most in-control person?
Balack Obama. (That's not a typo, I just think it's hilarious.Control's pretty much the world. Anything he decides to do, can and has the power to affect the entire world. Now that's awesome.
I do think though that one of the most annoying things of all time is when someone takes control over something you are trying to do/organize. And everyone is like yep cool they are organizing that, no worries. Then some bastard has to do it their way or else they don't want to do it and they want to be at stubborn as all hell. How do you deal with such people? Especially when other people decide then also that they too, now have a problem with your control. Clearly, you have become Hitler and should stop killing people to gain back your followers.
Sheep. Everyone says they hate people who are sheeps. But secretley everyone loves them, they fall like bowling pins.
Person A: Hey man! Your not doing anything tonight? No? Excelelnt, then let's go on a murderous rampage and kill people roaming the streets.
Sheep: Oh, ok alright. If that's what you want to do.
But really that is bad and you shouldn't exploite sheep like that.
You should exploite them like this :)
Person A: Let's go to McDonald's on the way home.
Sheep: But Person B doesn't want to? They want hungry's.
Person A: Come on sheep, you want Maccas. If we both say we do then Person B will have to!
Sheep: Ok, bah.
Person B: Let's get going to hungry's!
Sheep: We want to go to Macca's now.
Person B: Ok, fine.
But, be careful how you exploite sheep.
Don't sheer them too often.
Bah bitches.

Confusion
Confusion.
It is an emotion felt by everyone, at some point everyday. Whether it be over some complex wording or whether it be over another person's emotions. Quite often people refer to Confusion as the second meaning. Confusion over how another person feels about one's self.
Define Confusion? "A disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably."
But who wants to behave predictably? Behaving predictably is one of the worst ideas ever. Spontaneity is the fruit of life. Mix things up, go crazy, do wild shit you crazy child you.
Re-Define Confusion? "Disturbed orientation in regard to time, place, person or thing"
Disturbed orientation, is possible one of the best 2 word collection I've ever heard.
"I'm sorry, have I confused you?"
"No, you've just completely disturbed my orientation. Thanks"
Relationship confusion.
Possible the most frustrating kind of confusion. Really, until you ask someone exactly what they think of you you never really can be 100% sure. Even then it's still not certain, people will often lie so they don't hurt your feelings. How does that make any sense?
A: Far out I hate B, oh shit here he comes.
B: Hi A!
A: Oh hey B. How's it going bud?
If you hate someone, grow a pair and say it straight up to them. Don't bullshit liking them enough so they stop annoying you.
A: Far out I hate B, oh shit here he comes.
B: Hi A!
A: B piss off.
B: With pleasure, every moment I talk to you it feels like someone is nailing into my ear drums. So long.
Then everyone's happy? No, not happy. Satisfied. Satisfied that they have no fake friends, all of their friends are true and loyal. They may not hate person A, but they don't have to hate. They can come to a mutual feeling of dislike. I share it with many people and in certain circumstances are able to work with these people still.
Love Confusion.
The most common kind of confusion I'd say. You might say differently, but hey.
Love Confusion is caused by 'mixed signals' from either party. One person may give off the vibe that they like the other person then from there are three different things that may happen...
1. The person is a slut. A massive massive slut. They will flirt with anyone and anything. This leads to the person being dissapointed and rejected because hey, they only know how to spell 'sex' not 'relationship'. Anything over three letters is confusing for them.
2. Massively Mixed Signals. While you may think the other person is indeed interested in you and you may think perhaps a relationship is forming, it is not unfortunately. The other person has not realised you felt that way and now that you have expressed it partially they no longer talk to you like they used to, or at all.
3. Love. When you most admirably express your feelings, they too express their feelings for you also. And then, well you know the rest. First comes loves, then comes marriage,then comes the baby in the golden carriage, right?
Confusion really only occurs in the first two, but in order to succeed and find a number three you must first endure a series of ones and two's and most likely a whole bunch of other shit. Agreed? Yes, good.
Confusion.
Re-define confusion?
When you don't know what else to feel, when you're lost, when you're unaware.

The Awkwardness of So.
So,
is a terrible word. Oly due to the fact people use it. "So" can be a window to a whole new world or conversational possibilities. Often people indulge in "So" when a conversation may have turned awkward or died all together. The conversation follows as such,
Person A: Aahh...mm... So?
Person B: So..
Person B has now trapped person A. If person A were to retort "So" then only then would they not be making conversation. Person B now has the right to get mad at person A for not thinking of something to say, when in reality person B should have thought of a conversational topic and thus started talking about it.
Why is it that each person is allowed to say "So" once but the second they say it more than once they have over stepped the boundaries of "So". I guess my advice is to use the power of "So" wisely. If caught in a conversation with someone who says "So" simply turn left, then sprint 100 yards, turn back to your Person A and yell,"SO WHAT DICK" then continue to run.
