After re-reading my previous post(a href="http://tommythebeat.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-fuck-did-i-get-here.html") about my life right now I feel I have to clear things up. Not for myself, but to all the people that I completely disregarded when writing it. I know myself better then most and I have to say I sounded like a complete Jack-ass when I said "I've basically done it all on my own".
Clearing things up.
I would not have got as far as I have if I had not been granted the support I had through certain friends and family.
Although I didn't word it correctly I MEANT to say that it was such an amazing experience to fly myself to a place where I had no friends or family(Cheree the exception of course) to help me and try to make it on my own. I'm forever gratefull for having Cheree with me for the first month because to this day I don't know how I would have done that on my own. The whole time I think I was in denial about the fact that it could/would be over three months before I was see the people that meant the most to me.
What I was trying to be happy about, was the fact that I left for somewhere I've always wnated to go to, with no financial aid or general guidence from anyone. I'm proud of myself for that, for getting away from my regular routine and things I thought I needed to get by.
My parents were probably more supportive of me then ever towards the end(before I got employed at Hamilton Island) when I was running out of money(and courage) and If it wasn't for them and the inspiration of Brigitte, My Antie Kate ect, I don't know what path I'd be on right now.
So now when I ask the question How the Fuck did I get here?
I actually have an answer for myself.

You did it. You envisaged what you want and you carried it out. Help is a small thing that is of no use to someone sitting in their comfy home thinking about it.(like I am :-) ) You have courage and I am proud of you my wonderful son.
