the king has left the building.

I remember my childhood days when I felt like listening or dancing or singing one afternoon, I'd open up Michael Jackson's Dangerous (1991) and put it on the cassette player. It was good times. Singing to 'Remember the Time' was the best; and seeing it on a music video channel was better. One of the songs in the album, 'Heal the World' eventually became my prep class' graduation song for some reason. I wanted to do the famous 'Moonwalk' but I can't, but I wasn't that disappointed. Watching him do it was far better anyway and was more entertaining.

Many years passed and my taste for music has eventually evolved. You know, when everyone went through that MJ stage to Britney Spears and N*SYNC days to Foo Fighters and to hardcore the next. But when news broke out that Michael Jackson was found dead, it felt like someone close to you passed away. Sure, you may not know him personally, but I'm sure he was looked up to. He was the icon of so many things. Not just musically but also charity. He maybe be headline on the news because of his wrong doings but damage has been done and there was nothing that other people can do. Right now, what matters most is his genius when it comes to his music, how great he was and how much he gave of himself to help other causes.

Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009) wherever you are, thank you for the music.
You are a legend. You are an inspiration.

add bacon.





Alright, I'm gonna be an absolute dickhead.
Cos I only uploaded a couple of photos here cos I can't be bothered, I'm soooo tired. BUT, go check them out on my MySpace (and maybe Facebook for those 'Facebook-users') and then you'll find the other photos there.
Last night was a VERY SICK night even though the band I'm supporting didn't get through. But that's cool, it's exposure for them I guess and they'll learn from their weaknesses; but personally, I loved it. It was intense (BRUTAL! @ Ross). I congratulate VIXIA (their vocalist used to go to school with me) for getting through the first heat.
But yeah, go check em out. I'm not gonna elaborate even more on this post cos I'm soooo fucking tired, I can't even type properly tonight. And I had lots of alcohol too. Haha

Catch you guys on the flipside. :)

so like, yeah...

It's only 2 more days till Battle of the Bands, and I'm actually pretty siked about it. I haven't been to a gig/show lately so I guess this is another first. My best friend Justin, put me on the guestlist so I should be able to get in for free which is absolutely sweet and Matt & Chloe get in for free cos John's using Matt's guitar since his is broken (or something like that...) and cos Justin's paying for their passes.

I have been on holidays for almost a week. So it's 1 down and 3 weeks to go. I need to go back to TAFE to get my other shit, otherwise if I don't pick them up by the 19th, they're gonna throw it away which will suck since I put a lot of effort into it. I've been working lately and that's about it, I was meant to work tonight, but I fucked my back for some reason and it sort of feels paralyzed at the moment. So yeah, I'm no use with a sore back so I got someone else to cover my shift. And I feel a little bit crook after last night. Haha, I got overly stoned so I chucked in front of a friend's house. Gahhh, nasty shit. But yeah, I learned to stay away from double chambers. LOL and I don't think my bestie was impressed with that. Uh-oh.

Anyways, I've just checked my results for my 1st semester and I'd say I did really well. I got 4 HDs (High Distinction) out of 6 subjects, and the rest were Ds (Distinction...or something like that). So yeah, awesome!:D I seriously thought I was gonna fail photography, but obviously not. :)

I gotta scoot kiddos, probs another post later on tonight when I can be bothered :D

disco stick.

Hello bunny!


This is my cool new bag which I got from the Sunday Market down @ Bentleigh. I got it for $25 from this lady who actually makes these bags out of old blankets and whatnot. They're pretty cool for everyday use. I personally wouldn't put heavy stuff in it just in case it breaks. She sells alot of owl stuff (which really appealed to me) and froggies as well :) They're really cute and they come in different sizes. Oh yeah and she told me she sells them on eBay too :)

I went to Bentleigh so I could get gesso stuff for my MDF board so I could start doing some random painting, but like, I haven't even got my idea for it yet, so I'll just leave it till I got my idea. Speaking of drawing/painting, I should get a move on for Justin's band's shirt artwork. The concept's about pirates and death. Oooohh...That should be pretty sick and I should really start sketching ideas :) Went to Ash's today for a bbq get together. Scott, Ben, Jack, Tim, Sarah and Tom were there too so it was pretty sick. We ended up playing with Brayden and Phoenix (yes, that's his actual name) instead. I think Sarah and Jack had the workout out of all of us. Then I went home and chilled.

And now, I'm also planning for my 21st which is in 3 months and counting...it should be a sick night :) I'm excited for photos though!:D They're gonna be insane. Anyways, I'm off. I'm gonna watch CSI: Miami cos I'm really bored and I'm also looking forward to sleepytime :) That dude who plays Arthur in the TV series Merlin is pretty hot. Might dream of him later...*drools*

@ TAFE on Thursday

So yeah, I'm like, really bored today so I decided to play around with my digital camera - the non-professional one. HAHA Took a photo of my bedroom - well, technically a part of my bedroom and then decided to play around with the flash as well and I got the results above. They're cool. Haven't really experimented with cameras just yet.

I'm really psyched about Battle of the Bands next Friday. Hope it's gonna be intense and yeah, I'll try and take heaps of photos. I wanna go to Southland tomorrow cos I wanna get some of the photos printed up. They were my Mum's photos from last time she went home to the Philippines. I need to get rid of them in the memory stick cos I'm gonna be using it for Photography next sem since we're doing digital photography next. It's gonna be cool:D

Tomorrow should be pretty chilled since I'm hanging out with my homies Ash and Scott. Might pick up Scott from Bentleigh station and maybe get heaps of pens and maybe gesso. I wanna do wood paintings and shit like that. Dunno whereabouts I could get them from the shops though...Damn. Might have to look pretty hard tomorrow. :D Yeah, then we'll go back to my place cos Scott hasn't seen my new house yet and then go to Ash's and maybe get Charcoal Chicken for lunch. :) Owwyeah!:D I don't even have to worry about getting home late and such cos I'm on a month holiday and it started yesterday! HA! Psyched hardcore.

Anyways, catch yas all later!:D And you never know, I might have another post tonight. Or maybe tomorrow with photos and whatnot :D

Cheers

it's next friday.


MOSH!

this was today.





He's been bugging me for not wearing our 'loyalty bands' which were spiky leather bands. His were black and apparently he's lost 8 spikes from it. Mine's pink, but honestly, I've never really worn them. I should probs wear it for their gig. And then start moshing and hitting someone in the face with it...See how many spikes I can get rid of in one night :D

shine.

It's the first day of winter (well, second, technically cos it's the 2nd of June now) and it doesn't even feel like it. But I guess it'll be colder soon enough.

I just finished work about an hour ago and it was pretty chilled. Now I'm on MSN talking to Tammy and Ross and I'm pretty much whingeing about being hungry and shit, when really, I can just get up and get something to eat. It's not that hard. LOL I'm going to TAFE tomorrow (yes, I really am) and hand in my other shit to Sue so it can be assessed on Tuesday (Queen's birthday on the 8th so it's a public holiday - NO TAFE) and hopefully finish glazing my ceramics stuff - I'm gonna be done by tomorrow...I can just feel it. :) Anyway, not much happened today other than having lunch with Tammy at Southland, meeting some of her relatives/friends and then me going to work. Such a chilled day. And I'm pretty sure it'll be the same tomorrow since I don't have work. Intense...

I gotta scoot kiddos. Hopefully an eventful day tomorrow and another blogpost. Have a lovely day, whatever you do :)

Cheers
