Sunsets and Starshine and Stunning Blondes




What more could you want :) ?

2.4k in 10 minutes

Well close to, 10 minutes 20 seconds, the last k was hell, absolute hell, but you are bigger than your body, by will alone i pushed the dial over to 2.4k, i just knew i could do it, i blocked out the pain, my exploding chest, my butter legs, the pounding headache, i just focussed and did it, the human spirit is a remarkable thing, in fact writing this blog is going to get me off my ass to go to the gym, as i planned to do three hours ago when i left work, but i ended up having lunch with adam, who has an awesome 67 camaro in his garage. Adam is quite cool, he's 28 and has an apartment in hampton st and an awesome job, we're headin out on saturday night to socialise and hopefully find some women, for him that is, i'm happy with what i have, very very happy, it should be good though to go out and just enjoy myself.

Sunset (few months old but still, a reminder of being able to go down to the beach and not get blown away)

MMMMMMmmmm

I love swimming, i love the rain, i love the ocean, i love water. We come from water, we're made of water, where there is water there is life. Diving into the pool each day and feeling it envelop me never loses it's awesomeness, i swim twenty or so laps but i also kick about like a little kid for about twenty minutes up and down my lane while the other people at the gym look at me strange. Front flips, back flips, silly walks i do it all, being in the water is some spiritual and emotional cleanse for me, i have my greatest thoughts and my best ideas when i'm shooting through under the water much like the birds fly above. It is my meditation and my relaxation, and completely worth the black eyes my goggles give me and the pale skin the chlorine leaves me with.

I wish i wrote this.

Ben Lee. His songs are melded visions of strict
autobiography and megalomaniacal revolutionary escapism.
Weaving fragile lines between melodic story telling, sharp
songwriting and a developing self awareness, his tunes are
portraits of ideas and emotions that often transcend the
boundaries of their creator. Ben's songs exist in the world
where a commitment to adventure and reckless ambition are
the only recognizable landmarks, as he sings about his
personal observations on Life, Love and the Universe.

i am really enjoying

dashboard confessional, soo many good tunes, dude has an amazing voice too

best songs so far

vindicated
hands down
stolen
the brilliant dance

the legion of doom remix with sage francis is fkn insane, one of the best songs i've ever heard

15 minutes

This morning i ran 2.4k in 15 minutes. I don't know how athletic this is but for me it's a huge step forward in where i want to be, most importantly after jogging out one k i wasn't puffed or tired in the slightest, i can easily say i'm the fittest i've been in five years. Now i just need to not be the poorest i've been in five years and i'll be sweet.

this is how i feel




Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So, mesmerizing, so hypnotizing,
I am captivated, I am

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

night out

Not in the best of moods tonight, had a really bad conversation with a friend i hadn't seen in a few weeks, said some stupid stupid things accidently because i was tired and stressed and got angry because i wanted to see her and couldn't. Wasn't her fault but i still lashed out jokingly but it was bitter, and it's not who i want to be.

I put it towards the back of my head and went out with jason, vanessa bless her kept my spirits up with her love and her words via phone and myspace and i had a great night and met some really cool people, i should give some kudos to zanna for his pep talk as well, oh and nadine just for being nadine, i really can't complain with the cavalcade of amazing intelligent and caring friends i have. Anything on top of that is a bonus, so if i lose this new one over one tired mistake of a conversation, i'll be sad, but i won't get stuck on it.

Also, i met up with therese, who i predicted i would get on with like a house on fire, and we did, there's a spark i've only ever felt with one other person, and that's my best friend sister from another mother vanessa, and if she turns out anything like the friend vanessa has been over the years, that would just be wow, to find one kindred spirit is one thing, but to find two, i guess i'm just blessed, and i am thankful for it, every day.

thank you johnny howard liberal voting scumbags

With the work choices system now in place both american and australian film and television productions can throw out safety requirements, fair working conditions, reward rates for overtimes and public holidays and proper payment for hard work.

Simply put, jobs that used to pay $40 an hour because of the complexity of them can now be paid $15, in fact, everybody can be paid $15, pay can be whatever the production wants, and screw working conditions, fairness, worker safety or caring about the people who work for you at all.

This is funny because i work in both the film industry and the hospitality industry and people are getting screwed at both ends, at the pub i USED to work at they forced everyone on to AWA's, i've since been removed from that place of employment, for what i'm not sure, they don't have to give a reason, or extra wages for working on sundays, or past midnight, or in dangerous times and locations. A good friend who used her weekend bonus's to pass rent had to quit to work in a factory for twice as many hours to now pay the rent. Along with about ten other people who have had to quit, I was shafted, we were all shafted, and it's not isolated incidents, it's everywhere and every one. So basically if you voted liberal you basically shafted one or more of your mates, so to all liberal voters

F**K YOU.

http://www.subkamran.com/sa/sa%20-%20bruiser.pdf

this is a story about bruiser, a street sweeper. i have not had so many emotions go through me reading somethiung, its 120 pages and well worth the read

it's a story...or more rather it's stories written by bruiser, a street sweeper. i have not had so many emotions go through me reading something, it takes about an hour to read but it is one of the most amazing tales i have ever read. It's a bit of a boy's read as in a lot of the humour is a bloke's sorta wit, still some parts will hit you at every emotional level, just make sure you read it till the end.
