My blog said that there was nothing here. I didn't like that, so I put something here.

Hong Kong

I have always thought of Hong Kong as part of China. I was somewhat surprised to hear that people in Hong Kong, however, do not consider themselves as such. Later, I also discovered that while this is true, many of them do consider themselves to be Chinese. This distinction between whether Hong Kong is part of China or not is so great that it has led to one of the most common examples of the Mandela Effect. For anyone unfamiliar, the Mandela Effect is a phenomenon of collective false memories, named for many people believing that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, even though he went on to become the President of South Africa a decade later and only died five years ago. It is common for people to believe beyond doubt that Hong Kong is a separate country, becoming independent in 1997 when in actual fact sovereignty was handed over from the United Kingdom back to China. In light of the fact that the people who live there do not consider themselves as part of China, I suppose thi...

Short Biography

I'm Josh Peterken, a twenty-one-year-old student, studying creative writing at RMIT. 2018 is the second year of my course, with my first year being completed in 2016. I took a year off from my studies in 2017 due to personal reasons. I particularly like to write fiction, especially popular fiction. While I have never had my work published, I am reaching the finishing stages of a fantasy novel which I will seek to publish in 2019. I have always loved popular fiction for its ability to send the reader to another world, and its ability to tell powerful stories in unexpected ways. Because of this, my two literary heroes are Stephen King and Brandon Sanderson. The most surprising fact about me is that I got married to my partner of four years in February of 2018. We are both students and live over an hour away from our universities, but are enjoying life just as it is, no matter what challenges come our way.

Appiah Reflection

It's the first week of September 2017. Melbourne is alive with excitement. Melbourne's little brother, Adelaide, a ten hour drive away, buzzes with their own two-team rivalry. It's four weeks until the AFL Grand Final and the future is filled with possibilities. There are 36 possible combinations for that last week of glory, and everybody holds their breath. To the outsider, it seems barbaric. Most outside of Australia have never even heard of the Australian Football League, and those who do struggle to comprehend the size of it. Even many people in Australia don't understand it. How can one gain so much joy from a ball being kicked between two big sticks? Week one comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Just like that, two of the eight teams are eliminated. Essendon and Port Adelaide fans prepare for the long summer ahead. Many of them go through a grieving process, for a year that has been wasted. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. They console each o...
