Thoughts #1

Sitting here at my computer has pretty much forced me to turn the thinking switch of my brain on, which has gotten me into all sorts of thoughts that have come out. I'm in one of those moods where i really can't be bothered for anything, and listening to slow jams, and soft alternative rock/indie songs.

Bloc Party (and these guys always help me to think a lot)
Phoenix <-- ♥♥♥

I hate the fact that i have to wake up at 9.30ish or something to go to this job seek meeting every monday for an hour. Death!

Meh.

What's on my mind?

Lazy Sundays, quite boring, quite long and all this down time makes me think. So what's on my mind.

Her. alot.
xx

Together we cry.

Stumbled across this band, from the UK i think, or perhaps America, i'm not really sure because their videos look like they are filmed in America but their youtube details say they are signed to Sony BMG (UK) so who knows, but anyways I heard their song on the radio as i was driving home from soccer training, and i was in one of them deep thought moment when im driving home, cause usually i'm always driving a good 20mins alone before i get home, and a lot of things click to me usually in this time, and I realised a few things and heard this song and made me think of what the song is about.

Its a good song, i mean if you're into the whole love ballad, where the guy/girl is heart broken and such, i mean i'm not a big fan of it, i like that kind of music but its good to listen to it once in a while apart from the 130bpm songs i usually listen too.

The band is called The Script and they have already a few songs that hit top 10, even top 20 and they are getting plenty of radio time. Just wanted to share that.. Check them out on youtube.

I never..

Thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in, and knocked me on my face
Feels like in I'm a race
But I already won first place

I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did
You got me thinkin' bout our life our house and kids, yeah
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
'Cause girl you came around and you knocked me down
Knocked me down..

Someone told me..

Keep holding in there, it'll be worth it sooner or later.

Life at the edge.

Last night I had a very weird and surreal dream about myself living a life perhaps in the age of 26 or something and i got news i was going to die because of some disease to do with my breathing or something.

So let me take you through into the dream of what i remember. I was at some sort of party, i think it was either a honey moon (my honey moon of course) or my wedding night/party where all my friends were there and we were doing rehersals and stuff, or it was a birthday party where there was a pool there, but it was nice, around sunset time so what happened was the day was going good, until i got a letter where it said that i had a day or so to live and it kinda came to a shock to know that this disease i got is going to kill me. So anyways knowing i was going to die, i didn't tell anyone and you could tell in the dream that i was going into a state where i was becoming a little concern about the people around me and also myself, but during the dream i was still swimming around, having drinks and talking to friends and i was still have fun. In the quiet times, i remember i was there in a room and i broke down and started to cry to a friend or someone significant in my life, i don't remember who it was but he/she was there and i told them I'm going to die, and they didn't believe me and for me it was quite intense that i was in this state of emotional break down.

So anyways, hours went past and i was happy again, i mean it was weird cause i was up and down with being happy and sad, and then it was just all a blur afterwards, i didn't die yet but i woke up.

Really bizarre.

But anyways, what would you do if you knew you were going to die tomorrow, would you according to my dream not tell anyone or die peacefully without people knowing? I really don't know what to do, i prefer not to think about it but how would you feel if something like that was to happen, i'd feel so sorry and sad for whoever it'd may be.

So i bid you adieu.

Usually when you look at the photo above you think 3 sisters, blue mountains. Well that is where i was trying to get at. After speaking to Ruben today while he bludges at work, we have come to a decision we are going to get away with the group or even a few of us boys and girlfriends if they like to head up to have a nice relaxing holiday. I mean a few of us are going up there for a different reason but we've all been talking and discussing holidays, first it was cancun and that didn't work out to how it was suppose to work out, then it was thailand and thats still in the air but i mean its quite hard for us to save, and all these holiday ideas are still in the air its just the funds are limited. So i was thinking that maybe if we go blue mountains with the whole group its still counted as a holiday, and we can start small and make our way big to international places.

I've been looking on stayz.com at holiday houses in the Blue Mountains and found quite a few i've liked and also showed ruben to see if he liked them. I'm quite pumped for it, i mean a good holiday house with friends should be good. Plus we'll be going to the defqon 1. festival which is being held on the 19th of the september at the regatta centre which to my knowledge its going to be held on an island surrounded by water. Now if you don't know defqon 1. festivals it is orginated in amsterdam where its HUGE! and i'm not talking like field day big here, i'm talking about Glastonbury HUGE but in Amsterdam. It hosts music to the harder styles of electronic music, so Hardstyle, hard trance, trance, techno whatever else i guess. I've been a fan of hardstyle and i'm a newly fan of hard trance and i've heard about this festival since i was in year 10 when we were looking at youtube clips of it and the lasers and lighting production was that good you'd want to just save and go the next day.

Should be fun, anyone in?

Underage Heartbreakers

I've been holding out on this TAFE Application for a few weeks and its coming close to closing time for the application. I don't know what it is, maybe i'm just lazy or maybe i'm scared to even do it perhaps cause I don't know whats going to happen in the next few months, hoping i get a job or some good finances, or am i going to be studying and getting into routine to waking up at a certain time and planning my day out to attend class. I haven't done that for 3 years, where i'd wake up and get ready to go to school/class/college and actually have homework to complete and assignments to do. I mean its quite nerve racking that in a couple of weeks I will be doing that and i really don't know what to expect but i know it'll help my career prospects out a lot but completing this course and perhaps study a bit more and have a good certified resume for the job industry i'd like to work in for the next 30-40-50 years.

Its quite scary now that i think of it that i'll be doing this for the next couple of years then perhaps doing it for the future. I mean i love graphic design, and i love the freedom that it allows to create things from scratch and then seeing the results that it allows you to feel accomplished that a magazine/billboard/company/fans/general public love your work and what you do. I hope its like that for me. Its just scary to know that maybe if i do these course and study for another 3 years to complete the course that i might lose interest in it, i don't think i will but its a possibility for anyone because i've got friends who are in that part of their life where they studied straight after high school and gone close to completing their course and deferred or dropped university all together and chosen a different career path. Its quite strange because as i finished high school, i chose that i will try and enter the workforce, gain as much experience as i can and if i do decide to study again i can because i have the money, experience i needed for the career i tend to do when i'm older, but it's not the case at the moment where i did get some experience but not as much as i wanted or could, oh wells i like the fact that my life isn't planned like some people i know and i'm glad i chose this path because when i see on facebook that there are alot of people complaining and commenting on their status about how fucked an exams is or how hard this uni assignment is.. its quite depressing but maybe now its time for me, and i'm also actually pumped to do all this. Bring it bitches!

I'm 21 in a month and a bit and i guess i no longer can be a kid anymore lol.
The life after 21 should be interesting, a lot of questions flow through my head like, when will i get married? when will i have kids? when will i move out? when will i be able to afford things, will i find 'the one'.. lol

Interesting.

Those are my thoughts at this hour of the night/morning.
Sleep time, going to finish this application tomorrow morning or when i wake up!
Night.

Things were looking a bit better..

Don't you hate it when you send a message to someone, and it was meant for someone else, i'm pretty sure there is a lot of people that have done it, where you send a message to someone thats in the same room, place or even car as you and instead they were suppose to send it to a girlfriend, another friend or whatever but they sent it to you. Common mistake, totally understandable because you think you know your phone so well, you do this and do that its kind of like a routine to send a message but when that message isn't suppose to be for you, its quite awkward and weird.

Well that happened to me tonight, i didn't send the message but a friend did and wow did that message send quakes through to china... Its funny how it sends the room/place/car or whatever quiet and a little "oh shit my bad" laugh or something comes out from that person and it's like you're waiting for that person you 'accidentally' sent it to reads it and you realise what an idiot you just made yourself to be when its something quite harsh and not for your own eyes. What do you do in those moments? I mean, i understand you need to vent to a loved one or another friend or family member because i'm pretty sure we all do that, its that person you can talk to about anything but do you think you could of been a little smarter and make sure you sent it to the right person before you press send if its something important or something you're talking shit about behind that persons back.

Shit, i mean i try and keep it disclose and careful before i send a message to someone incase i think i know my phone so well that it won't do that and then vola, you got yourself a problem with someone that could of been avoided if you would of just came and spoke to that person about the issue you are having. I think its quite cowardly that you don't because if you have an issue, you talk about it rather than bitch about it to someone else but then again, we all do it because perhaps were all afraid to hurt that person.

Oh wells, shit happens and now you have to deal with the fact it changes a lot. Next time be more smarter.

Tonight we dine in hell.

So, lately the trend for girls is like sandals, if i'm wrong please correct me but when i go to festivals, or even out to lunch or whatever, I see alot of girls wearing sandals, like i have no idea what they call them but its like watching the movie 300 in modern times. I don't have anything against them, but its quite funny how the trend became such a fad. Its everywhere and its funny how Nike has jumped on that band wagon and release these sandals (pictured above).

Would you buy them?

The white ones are alright.

And he said..

Steve Aoki, man behind DIM MAK Records and Collections, has given a interview and a tour around his LA home in which is probably rarely stays in, I'm sure that he tours that much, he doesn't even live in as much. Anyways, he has done a lot of things, where he discovered Bloc Party in the U.S and he explains a lot of other stuff in this video.

I adore it.

This may sound a little left field and perhaps weird that a guy is watching Gossip Girl, but i really don't care, cause it's a great show. I mean i have one person to thank for getting my into it, but then again when i first heard about it, i really didn't give it a time or day but then i watched a few episodes and wow was i hooked

Anyways, there is a clip in the last episode for season 2 where i really see the deeper side to chuck's character and how smooth he is when he says what he says.

Short responses like..

I admire it
I adore them
I worship it.

Really makes the scene what it is.

On another note, i was surfing the net, and i added a new link to the blog blog blog lists -->
I found this website where pretty much posts about a lot of things relevant to the whole scene when it comes to fashion, music, arts, culture and whatever else. It's a really good website and i rate it. I found this article about Kitsune bringing out a Winter/Autumn range which is pretty banging, i was quite infatuated with this jacket/coat or whatever you girls want to call it because I find it quite cute..


In words of chuck, "I adore it".

Check it out.

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you.

The new Eminem album that has just recently been released has been getting some good and bad raves about it, personally i think it's a great album for him to come back on. Having some logical and deep conversation with my brother about this album, he has given me an insight about it and i agree with whatever he said.

This album is perfect for Eminem to come back on, if you can go back in time and look at his first EP/LP which was the Slim Shady EP (correct me if i'm wrong, i'm just going on what i remember) that the sound of his alter ego "Slim Shady" is humourous, dark, and playful. I mean this album suits that Slim Shady character alot and its great for him coming back after his recent life issues. I think he has dealt with them perfectly with this album, where he has addressed issues about what has happened, and now that his back, he's going to the top again.

I think he taking the road where he'll release this Relapse album, which is a Slim Shady style album, then if you don't know he is going to release another album close to the end of this year which I think will be an album which will fit his Marshal Mathers LP style and that would be the best album he has produced.

So fingers cross, i mean Relapse is good, especially Beautiful and the others Crack the Bottle, 3am and We Made You and there are others that are respectively good, so go out and buy your copy :)

Eminem - Beautiful.

This song is really powerful.

Supreme with all the toppings.

After seeing these on A-Trak's blog, i've considered i'm going to try track these down and get a pair.

The brown ones to be specific!

Ask Richard

I found this pretty cool website, that is reaching out to the FBi 94.5FM audience to go out and find out a way to get to Richard Branson to donate $1 million dollars to FBi headquarters to help them prosper into the future with the radio station.

Now it is a good idea because FBi 94.5fm is a really good radio station, especially for Australia artists, underground or even mainstream.

Support the station.

My baby don't mess around.

I really like this rendition of Hey Ya by Outcast from Sam Lloyd from the TV show Scrubs.

Adidas Classics

I haven't been blogging only because I run this blog site and I've been concentrating on my friendly friends blog at trashbagskids. So anyways, i'm going to post a few things here and there and try and multi task two blog sites at a time, but this is just my personal blog where i write,rant and vent whatever I please, so no restrictions.

Anyways, i've been looking on cool cats (Ed Bangers crew blogsite) and i came across Fafi's section of the blog and she has posted a sneak(er) (taken from A-Trak's post, haha) peak of her new collection collaboration with Adidas Classics. This is what she said:

Next october, I am having my third collaboration with Adidas originals, this time I am having fun with a winter collection and also one for summer next year, everything has been completed now and I am very proud of it, not only did I managed all the graphics but I also designed all the pieces with the team, inspired by my own Parisian dressing and my trips all around the globe.

One more thing, even though you'll find 5 pairs of sneakers for each collection, the clothes are not exactly what we are used to see at Adidas everyday, get ready!

Fafi is overall a very talented designer/drawer/artist and thumbs up in my books.
