jellybean.

Oooookay, so this is another post cos I'm so bored and can't sleep yet. I guess I'm excited for tomorrow cos we actually don't have any classes in TAFE, but we get to go on an excursion to our substitute teacher's studio - which by the way is pretty intense, since he's known around Australia (and maybe worldwide). Me and Nicole are taking the bus together which is pretty cool cos I don't know how to get toWindsor (I've only heard of it on Wednesday for the first time EVER) and we talked about getting there a bit earlier so we could chill and whatnot. We decided to take our digital cameras as well for happy snaps which is quite essential since we like to take random photos. :)

PHOTOS! Anyways, apparently I was being a grumpy bear today and I don't know why, I probs just woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning but all was saved when my bestie Justin decided to send me photos of him being a douchebag at uni. When you see the photos, you'll understand why...

The first one's with the jellybeans and the second one was with eyeliner. I can tell he was so bored :)

Also, I took the train home with Dorian and Nicole today. And as usual, they were both being retarded to each other cos Nicole wouldn't stop staring at Dorian and she kept saying that she 'rules the universe' (I don't even get that...). Dorian on the otherhand was being anti-social and decided to shut both me and Nicole out of his world by plugging in his earphones and listen to Parkway Drive's Dead Man's Chest (he likes the riff in that song) and suddenly blurts out that it is indeed Winston McCall doing the clean vocals and not some dude named Oscar (I'm not quite familiar with the whole hardcore scene, but I like them bands :)).

So that's Dorian and Nicole.

Anyhoo, I gotsa go kiddos! I shall take lots of photos from tomorrow, and hopefully I could be bothered enough to put them all up here. Or if not, check em out on my Myspace and shiz. It'll be easier. :)

blurry.

So yeah, here are some of the photos I promised you. I apologise for the delay cos this stupid Macbook wouldn't respond sometimes. Or maybe cos I don't have the latest version of Java. Who cares anyway. Moving on, I'll try to summarise whatever else happened earlier this week. I'm pretty sure I'll post more photos soon :)

This is a Chocolate and Hazelnut pudding I had at World Bar for Scott's birthday dinner. I shared it with Lisa and she told me to demolish it since she couldn't finish it anymore. I obliged happily :) It was amazing!!!

This is my latest painting. It's not that good, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. Sue reckons it's good too and my classmates like it as well. So yeah...It's my green monster. HAHA!

And this my friends, is Nicole. The top photo I took of her was from ages ago, while we were waiting for Tony to call us one by one to do our artist presentation. I like the photo and I showed it to her and she missed her long hair :( Sadddd. The bottom photo meanwhile was from sometime this week when we were waiting for our train ride home :) She's blurry :)

Yeah, so that's my promise to you guys for tonight...and I'm continuing this blog in about a sec cos the photos I'm gonna place in the new post are the photos I took today and I got some sent in as well by my bestie :)

psyched.

So here I am again typing along onto my blog.

It was a fairly alright day yesterday. Was fairly happy but kind of confused as well, but hey, that's just me...Had a Mother and stuff, it was pretty amazing cos it helped me go hyper and awake during my drawing and painting classes with Sue and the crew (hey, that rhymed!). So yeah, enjoyed the classes cos I love them and I actually finished my painting. It's pretty swell.

Thennn, after TAFE I took the bus with Rosie to Mentone station cos Matt, Chloe and Justin were gonna pick me up so we could all hang out and stuff. Chloe bought an avocado and a cucumber and Justin started the whole, 'cockroaches don't like cucumbers'; it's true cos I found that out this morning when that Trivial Pursuit family ad came on. Then went to Safeway to get stuff cos Justin was craving chocolates and he got a big bottle of drink too. Growing boys need that stuff. :) I got myself a mini pavlova cos I was starving, peach iced tea and a small packet of the uber amazing French Fries :) Then Matt drove us all to my house to do stupid stuff on the wooden thingies in front of my house and apparently they were gladiators. And this whole thing about horses and giddy-ups started. And we kept teasing Chloe cos her last name's Horsburgh. :P

So yeah, was a pretty good day, the only downside was me having to work a close shift from 8 till 11.30 and that I got confused with Justin cos he didn't seem like himself today. I, as the bestie would know that. But hey, it might be cos of a different reason. I always got his back anyways :)

Anyways, you guys have a lovely Tuesday cos I know I will. I don't mind going in to my least favourite subjects, cos I know I'm not working after TAFE anyway, so that's all good. Looking forward to Friday and Saturday though cos i'm gonna get smashed and working the next night. I'll see how I go. OH YEAH, before I forget, I'm moving houses on Thursday! Soooo psyched! :)

G'day y'all! :P

x

PS: Can't upload some of the photos cos my computer or Blogger's being retarded and stuff. BUT I promise to post some new photos that I've taken over the week or so :)

love.

This week has been SPECTACULAR.

I loved it. Hope there would be more weeks like this to come. :)

epic.

So, here are some photos that I stole off Justin from today. I had to wait for him cos he had uni and shiz. Then we hung out at Southland and bumped into Matt & Chloe :) It's funny cos me and him were talking about them and then KAZAM! 'Hello!' LOL. We made him try on pink girls jeans and it actually suits him ;) If you're his friend on Myspace, better check em out and give him some comments LOL. Theeeen, had dinner at TGIS and decided to stare at each other without laughing, but I failed. SO MUCH. Then Adam (his brother) picked us up and we went to the 'stupidmarket' as Adam would say and ate Cornettos and see who could get the frozen MP3 player in it. Haha, epic night :) :) :)

*SIGH*

So now, I'm off to bed cos I have TAFE tomorrow. But it's okay, cos it's Friday which means we go at 3.30 OH WAIT! 4pm tomorrow. Eww. WHYYYY!?! Oh well, at least we've got good subjects tomorrow :)

Check out more epic photos on Justin's and my Myspace :)

x

happy days are here again.

I am sooo psyched about tomorrow cos I get to sleep in tomorrow, then hang out with my bestest friend Justin in the afternoon after he finishes uni. :):):) Amaaazing.

UGH. I have to pay my phone bill tomorrow, but I don't really mind, it's not that bad. Thenn, I gotsa go home and start packing up shit cos as I've told you guys before, I am moving houses and shiz. :) I'll start with my closet cos that's where most of my shit is found anyways and probs the books as well. I'm really excited cos I'll finally get my own room and I can put whatever I want in it. Can't paint it though cos it's rented so I can't really make any adjustments whatsoever (well, unless the roof's leaking then I guess I better tell them...). Umm, what else? Oh yeah, I have to finish that homework Sue's given us. I only have to draw the last one out of 4 anyways, so I guess it shouldn't be that bad.

That's me being a douche in Sculpture class. Nicole took the photos.

We had sculpture and art history today and we had William Eicholtz. He's an amazing and well-known sculptor and he's replacing Tony for the mean time. He's a cool guy and he's got a website if you want to check out his works. We watched a DVD about him and how he works in his studio and I'd say it's pretty intense :) We get to go on an excursion to his studio next Wednesday, so I'm pretty psyched about going out of TAFE :) We've got Chaco Kato for Develop Self as an Artist and Marcus Bunyan for Photography on Friday so yeah...looking forward to that one too.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have an awesome week ahead since I'm not working on Thursday till Sunday and it should be sweet. I'm gonna be working on Monday though, but I'm not really complaining, HAHA! :) That means I get to chill with my family & friends and yeah...chill (To Nicole: 'I'm a chilla!') LOL.

Have a lovely week ahead!

PS: There's this sweet leather hoodie/jacket I found in Blindside-Chaddy. I WANT IT BAD.

molly's chambers' gonna change your mind.

I have actually come to realise how much I love Kings of Leon. I'm soo sorry, but I really just have to put it out there. It's just too bad I wasn't able to see them live this year. Last year was still memorable. Had the chance to go to Sound Relief as well, but I was just too poor to buy myself a ticket. *SIGH* I'm so disappointed in myself. *SIGH* Oh well, I'm pretty sure there'll be a next time. And when there's a next time I sure am first in line. :)

Right now, I have also come to realise how bad it's gonna be tomorrow. I've got OH&S tomorrow morning, then Ceramics in the afternoon. Colour theory isn't that bad; hopefully Sue's gonna be in tomorrow. To top it all of, I've got a two hour shift at work tomorrow night with the worst manager ever. And I absolutely hate him because he sits in the office doing absolute jackshit. It enrages me. GRRR. ROOOOARRR. I officially HATE Tuesdays from now on. I really, really do.

Oh yeah, I won't be seeing 'Dad' (meaning Tony) for a month cos he's gone to the US to see his real daughter and then we've got school holidays for two weeks so I'm pretty sure he'll be back after that.

Molly's Chambers is playing. Love.

Good morning everyone! :) Hope you guys have a lovely Tuesday! :)

PS: Add me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/blackbeartooth. My email add for that one is: orange_jello696@yahoo.com. Cheers!

twitter.

OMG, so i decided to join the Twitter bandwagon, and honestly, it's quite exciting. LOL, I'm following Jared and Nathan Followill from Kings of Leon, and some other random celebrities like Nicole Richie, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Ashton Kutcher and Karl Lagerfield. LOL And this random UK band decided to follow me as well, they're called Linchpin (I think) and I reckon they're like a hardcore band or something. Haven't heard of them, but I tried looking at their Myspace and see if they're any good.

Anyways, no school tomorrow, but hopefully I'll meet up with Nicole to do some Photography homework together. LOL, why oh why did it have to be tomorrow, it could've been Tuesday instead when we have ceramics HAHA! :P

Hope you guys have a lovely week in whatever you do!

PS: Footy season's back everyone! :)

Afternoon everyone! I had a pretty slack day today sooo I decided to go to Borders just in case I finally see the book of my dreams. LOL. And I found it! Yay! It's called Concrete To Canvas: Skateboarders' Art by Jo Waterhouse and David Penhallow. It's pretty cool cos the artists shown in this book were featured in Monster Children as well, so I pretty much know of them. :) So, since I'm easy to be inspired, I decided to draw on my 'whatever' sketchbook. I particularly liked Andrew Pommier's drawings so I thought I'd do something kind of similar to him and I've also added a couple of works I've done in this sketchbook.

Anyway, a slack start again tomorrow. LOL, we don't have art history in the morning so we'll go to sculpture in the afternoon instead. Which is ok, since I need to sleep in cos I'm working tonight. Eww.

saturday!

Morning! (Yeah, once again, it's midnight: 12.07 AM)

I've been away for almost the whole day cos I hung out with Wiki and Tammy from work. It was weird cos I thought either Wiki or Tammy was gonna cancel because of the shit weather earlier today. But it died down so we actually went out, plus, it's not like we're gonna go out in the rain anyways, since we went to Southland to do a little bit of shopping and looking around and watched a movie. We saw Confessions of A Shopaholic and it was average. The story line was typical but it was funny in some bits. :) I got a pretty cute Rusty beanie and it looks good on my head cos now, you can't really tell that my head's smaller since I had a haircut. I also got Triple J's Hottest 100 CD cos I was looking for this song I like, but don't know who sang it and what the title was until I saw the ad on TV that the song was in the CD. So I bought it today and I found out that it was from Ladyhawke; it's called 'My Delirium'. It's a pretty catchy song and it's funny cos I thought it was sung by a guy :P

After that, I hung out a little bit longer with Tammy at her house and we decided to watch Sound Relief. Unfortunately, we missed Kings of Leon, but that's alright cos I watched MTV and they showed the Kings live in some concert and it went on for like an hour or so. It's funny cos I was singing along to their songs while siting down on the sofa. It felt like I was in the concert as well, but just got better seats. LOL We watched Midnight Oil, Jet, Barry Gibb & Olivia Newton-John, Jet, a little bit of Wolfmother as well. And I think that's about it.

Gahh, I'll have to do my homework for drawing tomorrow. I need to draw the last corner of my room and I bought myself a couple of things for TAFE, like another visual diary since mine's almost finished (I think Tony reckons I'm cheating because I don't use the opposite page..:P 'It's not cheating Tony, I'm just not comfortable drawing on the other side'), torchons and finally, ceramics tools in a kit. I couldn't find it in Melbourne Artists'.

Anyways, I gotta scoot people. Hopefully you have a good weekend and stay safe in whatever you do!:)

Bear.

v, mother, coke and crunch bar don't mix.

So, it's 1.09 AM, and I can't sleep cos I slept awhile ago. Like, around 6.30 and woke up at 8.30, so now I'm kinda awake. And I think it's cos of the V, Mother and Coke I had for the whole day. Oh yeah, plus that Crunch bar and peach iced tea I had just awhile ago. Fuck, too much sugar in my system now...tsk, tsk, tsk.

I haven't had the chance to post some of the new stuff in here, but hopefully tomorrow or on Sunday I should be able to. Did some stuff in my visual diary and did it in Photoshop just cos I can and I like to experiment most of the time. TAFE was alright today. Did my artist presentation and I chose FRENCH, he's awesome. Then made paper. And photography in the afternoon. Went home at about 2.30 instead of 3.30 so I thought today was slack. Absolute slack. Oh well. :)

Tomorrow I'm gonna be away cos I'm hanging out with my homies from work. Especially Wiki since I haven't worked with her in so long...Shame, shame, shame. Probs seeing other people who we used to work with and then probs movies after that.

Anyhoo kiddos, I gotta scoot and I'll try and drift off to sleep. I probably will cos my eyes are already tired and shiz. And my mum would probs crack it at me for not waking up early tomorrow and just leave the house when I want to and not do anything helpful first. *Phew*

By the way, check out Danielle Todd's blog: http://www.danitat.blogspot.com. She's cool and she's one of my good friends studying in Box Hill, doing something with music; something she really loves doing :)

To infinity and beyond kiddos! :)
Nighty-night

TAFE

Morning!

I'm off to TAFE today and I'm soo annoyed. Why does it have to start on a Tuesday when we have OH&S in the morning?!? Eek! I bet ya there's gonna be 3-4 of us there who's gonna rock up early. The others rock up late so they could miss the first boring bits of that class. Such slackers. :)

To top it all off, I've got ceramics as well. GAHHHH. O.M.G. I don't think this day is gonna get any better. Oh yeah, and I'm working tonight as well. But I guess that's fine, since I've got Laura managing and John working till close. This might mean something...

Anyways ladies and gents, I should probs go. My dad gets annoyed at me when I don't dress up quickly enough, hencewhy I miss the bus sometimes :P

Enjoy your day and have fun!

bad hair day.

O.M.G.
I can be really stubborn at times and very indecisive too. And I guess today, it reached it's peak.
I told my mum about two days ago that I wanted a haircut. But I only said that I wanted my fringe shortened a little bit - that's all. So today, she booked an appointment to her dresser who lives in Clayton so I could get a haircut from her after she gets her toes and nails done.
I told the dresser that I wanted to shorten my fringe and maybe give my hair a little bit of a trim - but to my shock, after 5 minutes of cutting, spraying and combing, I look like a friggen Japanese anime character. I thought that what the dresser suggested was the same image in my head. But I was wrong. So now, my hair is now shorter, thinner and my emo fringe is GONE. It's been replaced with a short, one-length layered fringe. And I reckon it's the worst haircut I ever got in my whole entire life.
I was ready to burst into tears in the shop, but I held it back and instead, complained to my mum about it. Of course being a mum, she'd comfort me and assure me that it looks fine. Me, being stubborn, reasoned out that it doesn't look good whichever angle I'd look at myself.
So, it's gonna be another couple of months before my hair grows longer again, and I basically told my mum that to save me from humiliation, I'd cover up my head in a hood till my hair grows back exactly the same length as it was before I got the dreadful haircut.

I vowed myself never to go back there even if my mum insisted to save us the travel time. What a horrible, HORRIBLE day. Curse you Labour Day. :P

Alex.

This kid is the most amazing kid ever. I love him to bits.
Apparently he looks like a vampire, but everyone says that after they've read Twilight. Everyone seems to think every guy they meet looks like Edward Cullen. But then again Alex, you do have fangs...
Although I haven't heard him play yet, I reckon he's an amazing muso. Check out his band, The Bad Mammals on MySpace. They're an interesting lot. :)

photos 2

As promised, here are the photos I took to Southland today. Some of them aren't that good, but some of them are. I guess it's not bad for a first time film user. We're all so used to the digital ones nowadays and it's they're so typical. You can see them everywhere, Friendster, Facebook and MySpace. But I'm not gonna be a hypocrite and judge them. I have some photos like that myself. The point is, I like these photos taken with film because there's something about them that's so pure and there are marks there that can't be reproduced.

*SIGH* - so deep in thought.

AM

Morning everyone!

I got woken up by my mum telling me that it's almost 12pm. So I went outside and had a look and it was friggen 11.30am still. I wanted to sleep in! Grr!

Anyways, I'm off to Southland to get the photos printed in a contact sheet. I'm excited as to how they look like. And probs get the developed as well while we're at it. I'll have to show Alex the photos cos there's one of him and the two of us :) Oh yeah, as well as Craig and Tiffany eating chicken HAHA! :P

Alrighty, leave me some love (hopefully) and I'll get back to you as soon as I get the photos done! (Scan & Post!) :) For the mean time, I need a shower!

monday off!

Howdy-do!

Anyways, I'm so bored right now and feeling so awake it's not funny. It's kinda amazing since I haven't drank any sort of energy drink like V or Red Bull, or haven't eaten chocolates and anything sugary. HAHA.

I was managing work tonight at "KAFERS" and it was pretty average, nothing special - well, apart from the people who I was working with. They were cool kids, but I know for a fact it could've been better. Everyone sort of pushed me away from the fryers just in case I drop the register keys in there again and burn my hand again. The bandages and the burn cream was so uncomfortable the night before it made me sooo itchy. But yeah, I had difficult, bitchy, annoying and stupid customers (they can never go away) and it just wasn't helping all of us. BUT since we work in a fastfood store, hospitality is expected. *SIGH*

Unfortunately, no artworks for this post today (YEAH, today! 1:21 AM!) since I just finished half a movie - 'Body of Lies' starring Leonardo DiCaprio (sooo talented) - and had a super late dinner and I'm just officially buggered. But if I have time to scan the photos tomorrow, I'll put them up here. Of course I'd only show you the really good ones ;)

Goodnight/Goodmorning everyone! Enjoy the long weekend! (Labour Day on Monday - REMEMBER!)

Bear.

photos.

So here are some of my early works. They're photos and I took them using only my old Nokia 6288. Yeah, they were Photoshopped but only cos I wanted to do the borders, the photo itself isn't touched. So yeah, just borders and my name on the corner of the photo.

I'm studying Photography this year alongside other artsy stuff like painting, drawing, etc. Heck, we even have OH&S there too. I've got amazing teachers and as well as classmates; it's cool. Nicole Goodwin is one of them - she's one hell of a young photographer. Check out her band pics and random photos at http://nicolegoodwin.blogspot.com

Till here, I'm working today. Eww, sucks.

first post.

Howdy-do!

First blog post for the new up and running blog. In this blog, I'll hopefully post some of my artworks and you guys be the judge.

Laters!
