Parklife 7

Parklife 7 has been one of the best Fuzzy events I've been to - nice crowd, great place, and good music! I remember saying to someone that wouldn't it be nice if the world was like this- lots of young happy people, random things such as people walking on stilts and playing handball, a nice lake to chill out at, and good music plus cool lights! Was disappointed that there weren't jumping castles though like at Field Day. My favourite acts of the day were Ugly Duckling, the Drumattic Twins, Roots Manuva, and Kid Kenobi & MC Shureshock.

I was a bit upset at first which I won't write about in my blog but amongst the thousands of people there, it was fate that I bumped into Terry (the bartender). We didn't really know each other because whenever I see him, he's always working but he looked a bit lost so I said I would look after him. I ended up spending the rest of Parklife and then afterwards with him and it was lucky I found him because he took all my blues away (also thanks to Baba who performed magic coin tricks to make me feel happier). It was actually him who ended up looking after me haha. One of the BEST EXPERIENCES was sitting on Chris.M's shoulders when Roots Manuva were playing. It was UNREAL!!! I looked around and all I saw was a sea of people all around me swaying, dancing, with their arms reached out and being above everyone else I could see them playing- it was so good!

But he's the sweetest guy and we've bonded a great friendship based on looking out for each other and improving each others lives. It's hard to believe but because of me Terry is waking up earlier, not taking stuff anymore, has halved the number of cigarettes he smokes, and plans to do more daytime stuff which I will introduce him to! He was planning to change someday anyways but with the help of a bit of nagging from me, he is going to turn away from what a lot of people in that industry spend time doing.

We talked about our past and our hopes and dreams under a beautiful clear sky on a rock overlooking a lake (not that we could see it- it was too dark!) and I felt so comfortable around Terry that I was able to talk to him when I nodded off to sleep! Don't remember what I was saying though... it was mixed up with my dreams. I then realised it was time to sleep so went to bed and had a good sleep.

I feel like life has taken another turning point and from experience, I've realised that the turning points for me are usually people rather than places or things that happen. I'm gonna slow down on the going out/partying, maybe that's because I'm sick right now or maybe it's because of Terry and we are going to do this together (we have great plans! First stop is the fishmarkets this sunday hahaha) or maybe it's because of church or maybe its because of the gay party I went to on Saturday with guys dressed in drag.
