A quick drink said Will...

...me, Will and Erica arrived in a taxi outside my flat at 3am covered in kebab and burger sauce. A fun night was had, drinking, flirting and just having a great time with great friends. I am now much more knowledgable about Argentina than I was this time yesterday due to both Erica and Will having travelled extensively there.

I met a very wonderful lady who gave me food for thought, we both come from working class backgrounds but she is humble about her wants and desires whereas I am more extragavent with what I choose to do. Am I a sell out? Am I mocking what my family has worked hard to achieve? I am so proud to be from my family and I love them all and in turn their love for me has guided me to where I am. My Dad always used to say he didn't want to see me climbing up and down ladders all my life. I have worked hard to get through university and to get a job. I am the first Stevenson to get a degree, a fact I am very proud of, though I know for a fact my Mum and Dad could both have done degree's and done them well given the opportunity.

You only get one life...so as Red in Shawshank Redemption said...well what the writer told him to say anyway...


Get busy living or get busy dying
