How cute are these Otters that were Australia Zoo on the weekend… Wish I had some more videos! There were very playful and were constantly darting around and making little chrips…

DAFT PUNK was the most amazing concert I have ever been too, and probably ever will go to… Big call I know, but those who were there would agree.. and for those who weren’t you just wouldn’t understand! Hahaha.. Check out the photos!

Pretty sure I’m excited as hell right now… Last week there was a DAFT PUNK tour announced, their first tour of Australia. And as if their not enough backing them up is The Presets, SebastiAn and Kavinsky and more….

But the reason why I’m excited is on a select couple of mailing lists last night and early this morning there was a ‘subscribers only’ pre-sale of tickets announced for 12:00 pm today.. with the official release of tickets next week on the 13th.

So I was there just before 12:00 pm on the Ticket Master site refreshing it like a mad man until they were available… Both myself and my mate got through a snatched up a few tickets each! Moments before the site crashed I might add… and its still down at the moment… along with the ITM website which was also selling them but I don’t think it was ever working!?

Pretty sure this is the first time in my life I’ve ever waited out to buy tickets as soon as they’re released!

Wallowing in the shadow of a past life, as a future I’d imagined crumbles down around me. The world seems less familiar, less hospitable, less bearable without her. A dull pain slowly seeps through my veins all too familiar and gnawing at my core. I thought I was tougher than this, that everything could be blocked out, that things wouldn’t affect me, that experience would make life easier…

Memories once the bearer of silent smile and an inner warmth that made life a better place, now serve only as a reminder of my loss. Such empathy she had, which healed those upsetting moments so swiftly, with just a few silly words and a cheeky grin, keeping my world in balance and bringing meaning back to life. Reading me like a book when sometimes even I lack my own clarity to understand. A smile that could brighten any face, and a figure that could make any eyes wander in its direction.

Such excitement and passion for life that one can’t help but get involved and easily get lost in her moment. With a rare playful personality too perfect for mere words which couldn’t do it justice. Once lavished with such cherished attention and complete acceptance it would only be found in a film. Or just curled up on my lap asleep watched closely with a gaze of admiration wondering how I was so lucky to ever make it here.

She was and meant all these things to me, but little did she know… but likely neither I until now, when it seems so long ago…

Some advice in a ‘reply’ to a mate on love after he was mysteriously ditched by his girlfriend of 3 or so years… A couple whose relationship I had once hope to aspired to…

Dude you needn’t tell me love sucks… I’ve been a devout advocate supporter of that campaign for quite sometime! It seems to be one of those evil emotions put on earth just so god, or for some global scale candid camera show (perhaps orchestrate by aliens? Hehe)… can have a laugh at our expense!!…

For far back as I can remember every chick I’ve loved hasn’t in return, or have just been unsure, noncommittal, or changes their mind (could be worse, some of them thought monogamy meant getting as much wood as possible…? maybe the dumb #@$% have just been confusing it with mahogany? Haha!)…

But to make this evil emotion even more suitable for prime time comedy hour it gets better! Hehe.. No, wait for it.. Hehe.. (picture crazy laughter from some failed comedian).. For those girls whom I genuinely believed loved me I couldn’t bring myself to love them in return..

I swear on some chemical or scientific level love is like magnetic north and south poles… Never seem to wanna be attracted to each other :( Anyways enough useless rambling…!

And although this saying won’t help… Or its least its never helped me, despite to the numerous instances where I’ve been up shit creek, without the canoe, and wanted to believe in this saying so badly at the time… “Life’s to important to take seriously”

Need anything, its yours!

My weekend was so-so… I spent about $80 on cleaning product for my car, then spent like 7.5 hours cleaning it! From 2:00 pm until 9:30 pm… I guess that’s what happens when you service your car more frequently than you wash it… Haha! Yeerp, I think its about coming up to its 100 000 kilometre wash! Haha… I don’t know, the things boys go out of their way to do to impress girls… LOL

But get this I stayed at home on the weekend and cleaned my car, partly because I quit smoking… Because if I had gone out drinking I would have been too tempted to smoke as well… So anyway, I’m cleaning all of the rubbish out of my car and I come across a packet of smokes with 3 left!!

My immediate reaction was to tip them out in to the bag of rubbish, but one tempting little bugger stayed in the packet… So for the next 5 mins (or what seemed like perhaps longer) I sat there, just staring at this cigarette… I ended up deciding to let fate/chance decide for me so it was the best out of 3 flips of a coins…

First flip I called Heads, and it landed on Heads
Second flip I called Tails, and it landed on Heads
Third flip, the decider, I called Heads, and it landed on Tails.

Fate was against me having the cigarette.. so I smoked it anyway! Haha… But I’m back on a righteous path now, praise the lord.. I said praise the lord… Can I get an amen!?! ;)

Everyone has a fetish for black leather on at least some level right? Well mine has recently from extended to include these hot couches!!

Last friday I had to have the entire day off work so they could be delivered.. Not just the morning, or the afternoon…  But the whole day!! I was just told they would be there ‘sometime‘… In my typical run of good luck they turned up at 4:30 in the afternoon… The last delivery of the day!! Haha

Although I’m not complaining I’ve only had them on order for 9 weeks, whats a few extra hours? Also as mentioned in my prior post I was out till all hours on the Thursday night… So I slept until about 2:00pm anyway.

Thursday night just gone I decided to go out clubbing, mainly just because I could, but also because a friend Heidi has been trying to set me up with one of her girlfriends. Whom aside from being attractive, petite, and having the flexibility you’d expect of a dancer, I didn’t know from a bar of soap…

Most of the night I actually spent catching up with Heidi who’s leaving Brisbane soon, so I didn’t really get a chance to get to know this girl anyway.. Plus when a few of the boys turned up the night just turned in to running a muck instead.

But none of this has been the point to this post, so thanks for bearing with me for a few minutes.. Hehe

The ugly lights come on, the clubs closing, and they’re playing a few of those dodgy old one hit wonders you can’t resist but grab the ‘air microphone’ and sing too… Then I realise I’m not the only weirdo doing this, so is a tall blonde with an a perfect hourglass figure and a face 2 centuries worth of sculptors could only dream of creating.. Perhaps a better analogy would have been something straight out of a Victoria’s Secret catalogue, perhaps even the cover?

Anyway she’s getting the same bewildered looks from the swarm of guys that were surrounding her, that some of my friends were giving me (well those sober enough to notice).. Come to analyse (or stereotype) it, the guys have probably been hovering around her all night like vultures hoping for some scraps of attention…

Where was I.. Ohh yes.. Closing time. Anyway the music had stopped and I’m hovering around my circle of friends waiting for the drunks to realise it was time to go… Strange it seems that bright lights and no music at this time of the night aren’t much a hint.

It was about this point Victoria’s Secret steps in front of me and says “We’re going to the Pancake Cafe, would you like to come?”… After much deliberation and biding farewell some friends quickly we were on a merry way..

In the space of the 30 minutes or so while sitting down to eat, Victoria’s Secret managed to irritate me that much, that after leaving the building, without bothering to exchange numbers or any waste time with lengthy goodbyes I just said “Catch ya around..” and walked in the opposite direction. Despite the earlier first impression I was later left with, more suitable phrases/words such as “High maintenance, pompous, pretentious, self absorbed, unempathetic, inconsiderate…”

Hence this posts subject.. Either I’ve evolved as a human completely disregarding her perfect physical form, or perhaps the troubling personality just far out weighed this! But the more likely self analysis is I’m just too old to put up with SHIT like this…

Stay tunned for Black leather, Seizures, Handstands, and broken TAG watches… Hehe.. No serrious I have stories for each!

Okay so its been awhile but some of us have lives that are lived offline, or so I’ve heard.

About that quit smoking resolution.. well, it didn’t last but I’ll have another attempt at it sooner or later.

The other weekend was the birthday of the young lass I mentioned I was seeing in an earlier post. Leading up to this I was preparing to really spoil her, just because I could… After all what good is working so hard for your money if you can’t share a bit of this with someone who at that point meant something special (yes past tense, but I’ll get to that).

The most random thing happened though.. We’ll wind back the clock to a day the week before hand her birthday weekend. I was in a Ultra Suite a some designer boutique in the Valley. I knew she had been eyeing off a dress in there so I went in armed with only a very vague description, the words “size 6″ and a fat credit card limit (thankfully considering those prices!).

After attempting to describe something I’d never seen and trying to source a better description from her friends, I was led around the store by the “Sales Team”… Frequently receiving comments like “Ohh these are very popular at the moment”, “Ohh she would absolutely adore something like this”, “Oh My God, you have to buy her this!”… Despite their efforts I wasn’t swayed from my task.. nothing I saw I was particular confident about meeting the description..

At about the time same time I was giving up in dismay, using my phone to take photo’s of potential dresses to see what the friends thought. Guess who’s voice I hear on the lower level of the store! It was like seeing a ghost (or hearing).. The very girl I was shopping for… Just happens to walk in to the same shop, at the same time. I was in an area she couldn’t see at that point and just mouthed to one of the Sales Team “THAT’S HER”.

I was quickly hurried in to a nearby change room in case she came up. Shortly after one of the Sales Team grabbed me out and ask for my number saying she’d call after she left… She was downstairs in another room trying stuff on… Close call.. Crisis averted..

I message her friend who was ‘suppose’ to stop her from shopping until the weekend.. As I’d planned to give the gift before then.. He calls and tells her to stop shopping, but better yet says it was ME who spotted her! ARGH!! She messaged asking to catch up since I was in the area. My cover up.. “Sorry was just driving through and saw u. I didn’t think u heard me beep”.

Soo anyways I hear back from her telling me about this dress she’s put on hold in a different store.. And that I should come check it out cause its soo HOT… Does it get any easier? I now knew the store and that it was on hold!! With her heading off to work for the remainder of the day I knew she couldn’t pick up… I rang the store told them I’d get it tomorrow morning and that if she called to say she couldn’t hold it over night. After picking it up the following morning I also asked they give a cover story saying some other girl purchased it earlier…

You should have heard the names she was calling this imaginary girl when she found out… Haha! She was soo disappoint that I gave in on the phone and told her that I had picked it up… Anyways 30mins later she was still in disbelief, but starting to come to terms with it … Not without continuing to say “I don’t believe you” every so often though.. :P

So the total birthday surprises consisted of:

• A corset top and matching skirt by some ‘apparently’ famous Perth designer
• A pair of heels to replace her favourite pair which were lost recently when loaned to a friend
• 2 tickets to the Moonlight Cinema
• A dinner for 2 at Jade Buddha which coincidently was her favourite restaurant
• 2 stretch limousines the night of her birthday
• a large novelty sized sherry glass filled with chewing gum and chuppa chupps (she’s a serious addiction to both)

But we’re not seeing each other anymore… So why spend soo much on money on someone you’re unsure you have a future with? Mainly because I enjoy seeing gifts received that obviously had a lot of thought/effort put in to them… (don’t just any of you expect this kind of effort from me though! hehe)

Ohh and at the end of a life time which birthday do you think will stand out? ;)

Okay so I don’t know who really won Miss Indy 2005… But I saw the finalists… all I had to say was meh ;)

The most beautiful woman that I saw throughout all four days of Indy 2005 was this girl (on the right, my left). OMG still speachless I don’t know which part of the heavens she fell from! Gooooo ACER!

See the gallery for more photos from Indy! :D
