life two point zero

so things are changing.  the house i live at in richmond is being knocked down so everyone is currently moving out.  i never thought i’d miss la roux pumping throughout the house on repeat as much as i do right now.

if all goes to plan, marty, adam and i will be moving out to a warehouse somewhere in melbourne, and doing some wild shit while we’re at it.  it’s so exciting to think of what might happen next.

i’ve been contemplating quitting my job.  i hate it, and i want to do something different.  so i will probably be giving my notice next week and moving on from two years of steady employment.  life two point zero requires a certain respect and loyalty, and most of all, commitment.  leave the things that don’t matter, haven’t mattered, or won’t ever matter, and grow the fuck up.  life’s too short to be stuck feeling like you’re going nowhere with no-one positive around you.  here and now, things will change.  for the better.  i’m just trying not to be left behind..

peace duke street.  it’s not the cracked and falling down walls, leaking roof, broken bathroom door, cold draft or shitty internet i’ll miss, but the people who made this place what it is.  I feel so lucky to have known and made friends with everyone who has passed through these walls.  i will never forget this house.

long live the fucking ghetto.

fixed or repaired daily

the past 2 weeks have been filled with hot weather, good news and hard work.   my full time job negotiations went well, and i’m now going to be there for at least another 6 months, while also still working at the cafe in flinders whenever they need me.  this keeps me very busy, and takes my mind off a lot of things that have been bothering me of late.  which is always good.

my little sister is turning 21 next month, and i’m kind of feeling a bit old.. she has a university degree, and thinks she is better than me.. i guess she is now?

ugly child right?

i got to spoil my favourite sydney sider again as well, which is always fun.  she’s ace.

the blackest black of all blacks, black0utxxx ventured over from Japan to make a long awaited return visit to duke.  he went on the boys of summer tour with carpathian and then came back to duke street and kept me up until all hours doing this:

DFAXXX.

the heat has been fun.  i don’t mind it, but i don’t like it.  i’d rather cold weather any day.  my car is freaking out a bit, but being the master mechanic i am.. i am considering these number plates for the beast

F.O.R.D.

FOE lets me know it’s hot outside..

so all my friends are in Japan for a tour there.  they all deserve everything that they get and everywhere they get to go.  they work really hard at making the band a success, and are all extremely dedicated.  i wish them the best success this year with breaking into america and touring places they want to go.  i just wish they were home more..
