the usual
My xbox red ringed on friday, fucking sucks. Have to send if off tomorrow, this is my reminder.
Works sweet at the moment, get to hang out in a little cabin by myself, play music, play guitar, write shit and internet as much as i want. Every now and again a truck driver rocks up and I help him out and thats it. I caught a truck driver looking at really awkward porn while i processed him..
I got like half an hour left here then im fucking off, so pumped to play my new amp.
i was siked.
to go out tonight.
fuckckckckckc.
WELCOME TO THE GOOD LIFE.
I feel awesome as fuck today. Went uni, talked my way into only being there an hour, ate tons of mongolian chicken and red sauce beef thing and then came to work where I am going to sit for the next eight hours moshing in a small cabin like thing to shipwreck. i’d be jealous too. Hows the weather too, fuckin rules having sunroof down and singing loud.
I can’t stop listening to Kanye again, hence the title. Seriously Hey Mama is probs one of three songs that have legit made me cry haha. The Cool, Songs To Scream at the Sun and Rewind, Repeat are getting some heavy rotation lately too. How good is the first riff in Bostons, can’t get my head around it. Also been vibing Apatow filmsĀ a lot lately, it’s good to get silly and laugh tons before you sleep, feels good man. Last night was Knocked Up and I seriously laughed so hard… It’s probably a film I kinda shun a lot more than other Apatow films just cos it was so sucessful but theres so many reasons it was such a big success, awesome movie.
50 Lions tonight.. trying to find someone to hang out with in the city beforehand so if anyone wants to catch up call me or whatever, I finish here at like 8..
sanguinary
between the lines of dead language tongues.
before the dawn, our hearts they shall hunt.
the smell of death excites the nostrils.
at first cut, the sanguinary worship of,
red spraying punctures a sight so divine.
clutching her carcass, face frozen in time.
a distorted dialect for the draining of veins.
to the flooding of bedsheets,
with sick crimson rain.
i’m sure it wasn’t a total waste of time.
Wrote some new stuff in my political uni blog about Sarah Palin.Fuck I hate that bitch, shes like everything that isn’t me rolled into one. I don’t understand America’s fascination with being ruled by the ‘average American’. FUCK THAT, I want some cunt who is nothing like the mindless idiots i’m surrounded by.
Need to do like five or six more posts so we’ll see how it goes.
Anyways, I finished my exploitation film/george romero assignment and it turned out real good, im thinking of posting it up here or something because I was real into it. If you haven’t seen Night of the Living Dead, go download it for free from archive.org, it fucking rules. then come read it when i post it haha. will probably do it as my final zombie post complete with zombie images from the weekend which my computer is being a superfuck with. I think its a chapter of my life I need to close before it gets even more obsessive hahaha. I’m currently reading 4 zombie books and have 4 zombie films on high rotation (night,dawn v.2, land & evil dead) haha.
Looks like my deadlines are pretty well dispersed for the first time ever in uni life, makes things tons easier and
ughghghg.
fuckkk.
just realised i could have slept in four hours.
todays tutorial is not compulsory.
fuck my life.
exploit
Weekend was mental, saturday day was a sick day, went work, got home and helped out for the party a little bit. Party was sweet, I was a zombie. Sunday had band practice and its seriously getting so good.
It’s actually something I’d really enjoy listening to that hasn’t really been done to death in music. Not saying its new or anything, but a lot of the influences and ideas are really left of centre, really keen to get the demo recorded, theres tons of cool ideas that have been coming up.
Still haven’t done my zombie assignment, but its getting there, im about 3/4 through planning and its going good. I do my writing in like an hour and spend weeks on plans, works better and you get a better logical progression of argument and research. I’ll post it up here when I’m done.
I gotta go hit up shops and unlock a dvd, buy new pillows and buy a new cd or two maybe. Possibly even a game.. I had a weird dream a few days ago I was playing a pokemon game and it was sick, i’d be siked if there was a ps3 pokemon game haha.
photos from zombie town will be up later today.
later.
when its time to party we will zombie hard
Got some sweetttttt ideas for my zombie costume. Basically going corporate, white shirt, black slacks, loose tie, fucked up sleeves and pants, covered in dirt, blood down the front as if i’d just feasted and some fucked up face blood. soooo excited hahaha, might even look into contacts and get the whole 28 days shit going. going to use makeup and do a more night of the living dead kind of thing though, go natural.
I got like ten minutes left at work and the breeze is ruling and the sun is shining and im fuckin smiling, can’t wait to get home and choose someone to come buy makeup for me haha.. had a good and very busy and productive day, feels good to get out of the house. Tonight I’ll be staying in after going shopping and working on my romero assignment, which sucks because i would have loved to see the broderick. They get me so angry and I mosh in my head.
UUUUm, so I’ve come to the conclusion I’m still sick, now im coughing up solid stuff haha, its so gross. But I guess it means the infection has begun breaking up and i’ll start feeling better soon. Hope I’m sweet for tomorrow haha. When I saw the doctor she asked me how much I drank, I was super confused haha. I go for a check up about my chest and shes like, so how much do you drink and gave me a lecture on what happens to my liver. I’m like three weeks without alcohol and I’m feeling good. Have actually dropped like five kilos in the past month, which is kinda impressive. Some of my old jeans fit me haha. Means more cutoffs for summer.
I’ll be throwing some zombie photos up tomorrow, its going to be sick cos most of the time male zombies have like short or buzzed hair haha, will be super metal.
Anyways I got a call and then I’m out, LATER!
i kind of miss this place
I went back to work today, kinda rules, missed working here a lot. It’s kind of like a constant super tech puzzle wrapped in an enigma. It’s fun trying to fix though haha. Theres like three of us in the office today, dudes are off sick, quit or covering dudes in the gates shifts so im here til like 4pm, kinda rules because its easy but I really want to hit up highpoint and get zombie shopping haha.
Last night I watched a 9/11 documentary. Usually I can look at shit like that and just not feel, pretend its a movie or something but the one i watched yesterday was way too mental. It was about two brothers who were filming a documentary in nyc when the towers got hit. They get seperated with different firefighting battalions, one went to the tower, the other walked the streets and searched for him and documented the horror on the streets. It was a real eye opener to experience the emotional level of two brothers both thinking they had lost each other, which is sort of something I had escaped when it hit.
I still remember that morning, I think everyone does. I woke up in the morning we were driving to queensland, so not siked for the 2 day drive and mum tells me somethings happened and people are dead. We jump in the car and every radio station is flipping out over it.. When we finally got to the seedy motel we were staying at overnight, we caught the video on the news. It felt like a movie, I did not realise the magnitude of what had happened, and I guess I kind of missed the fallout of that too because I was on holidays hey.
I don’t know, but I stayed up way too late, read Empire and all about Watchmen which I am so fucking excited about. The movie looks amazing, I’m a huge fan of the super stylised way Zack Snyder portrays the worlds in his films, hyper saturated, intense colours and stark contrasts. His visual style seriously rules and the fact he did Dawn so well and followed it up with a solid adaptation of 300 gets me hopeful about his adaptation of Watchmen. Is what he does bordering on plagiarism though? Sure he does his own thing with it, but he has never established his own content in his movies, kind of need to question his skills if he is constantly running from fresh material.
Waking up this morning was a huuuuge drag, surprised i woke up so good and in happy moods considering i only slept like three hours. Smashed a rockstar, burnt some toast and ate it anyways, said bye to people and left. Theres always something calming about driving by yourself at 5am. I didn’t turn my heater on cos it makes me fall asleep and sometimes cold feels good man.
I’ll shoot another one of these through later, got some work to do haha.
fuck you technology
I used to be super good at technology, so good in fact, i have both my a+ certs in op systems and hardware and a cert IV in IT. I reckon i’m alright so i dont really use any virus protection haha.
Last night i clicked on some shit to close it and get it out of the way whilst watching a video and fuck blue screen of death. Kind of sucks because I have an assignment due tuesday about zombies. (I’ll let you know about it later haha) Anyways the shits up and running but im going to reformat and get some thing on my pc checked out by the asus dudes, fucked up fans and sound card hardware issues. Quality build my ass you fucks. Backed all my shit up, found some awesome stuff like Batman Forever and From Hell that I forgot I had dvd rips of, and now im just waiting for some smaller shit like my music to get backed up and shit, so gutted cos I just installed iTunes 8.0 (It fucking rules. Get it NOWZ)
Anyways, so yeah I’m doing an essay about exploitation film and its progression into mainstream cinema via an analysis of George A. Romero’s work in Night of the Living Dead. It’s actually pretty cool, I found all these books in my schools library about Zombie culture, the work of Romero and exploitation film in general which totally rules. Due Monday and I’m starting to freak because I already have a massive extension due to being sick and still haven’t started haha, lifes seriously against me on this one. First I need an extension because the dates were fucked and we wouldn’t study NotLD until the week the assignment was due, then I got super sick and coughed up half my lung capacity, and now my fucking computer steals a day by deciding to die. fuckckckckckckckck.

I still love you even though your a zombie now.
It’s all good though. Been listening to The Getaway Plans new release again, it’s alright.. Not as good as all the attention they’re getting, it’s seriously mental. I ate some sick food this morning, got bread for my dad and got some hedgehog slices, ate them. Had pepper and oregano noodles with a rockstar. Lifes rulin. Also finished Entourage Season 4 last night, kind of dissapointed. Season was very short and had more to do with the support cast (Billy Walsh, Dana Gordon, Ari’s Wife) than the actual Entourage which kind of sucked, as fucking hilarious as walsh is.
Anyways I’m going to go finish this backup, take my brother to work and hit up some shopping. Maybe try and find a copy of Army of Darkness or something early Coppola. Laterrr.
