Time surrounds us in dynamic generation, a cloud which seeps through our human fibers. The last 2 weeks have made me think about how busy my life is, and how effective time management is in creating a life of happiness.
Yr 12 is a year where procrastination attempts to pollute our simple lives. There's a difference between taking a break and spending endless time running around in circles and avoiding the problems at hand. Procrastination leads to apathy which, as a good friend of mine once said, offshoots into nihilism. Nihilism is the source of negative energy and the only way to go forward in life is by living and projecting positive energy.
David Bowie once said: 'Time can change me, but I can't change time'. Having said that, I am so pleased to see people living the fullness of their life. Life is meant to be fun, and even if it casts blows at you, you make life fun. In particular, I would like to mention Jack Mason, because mate, this is a guy who just gives 110% to everything he does. I am so happy I met this vibrant little chap that's so busy, he's like a duracell battery bunny. Jack, if you're reading this, I hope you get better. Shit luck has once again come at your doorstep, but just keep going mate, you're an inspiration.
Music is the documentary of the human soul. The expansion of my soul into other dimensions will be seen in Lunchstock (which I hope is postponed), and later jazz gigs such as Gambier etc. Like Nikki Sixx once said: 'My heart is like an open book for the whole world to read. Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams' Hopefully the over-stimulation of music does not make me too stressed and self-conscious.
Zimele it up readers. If you're interested in participating in Music/Movies trivia night for Zimele, let me know. It's happening next Saturday and I will be playing :)
Tetris time.

so i've got 11 weeks of school ahead of me
What's cracking guys? hope the holidays have brought you moments that you will never remember, and that you've spent them with the people you'll never forget
From one cliche to another, time flies. I can probably sum up my holidays in these few words: boarding, moshing and 24. Both boarding and moshing were quite enjoyable as in both instances I flailed my arms around magnificently. Went to hardcore gig with a few mates on Friday too to see Antagonist A.D and House Vs Hurricane. My oath, they're two hardcore bands that will go a long way in the music business. And as I was in the mosh pit, I could not help but notice a few Asian girls being lost. Sad they didn't approach me.
Oh what is it with me and falling for girls I've only met for the first time? :P
Anywho, I've spent about 24 hours doing hw with no intention of completing the 40 hours required for a yr 12 student.
Life is bloody short, there's 24 hours in a day. Do something different each day that will define your life. I tried boarding these hols and I fell. Miserably :P. But I loved the adrenaline, the feeling that you're unstoppable going down a hill.
It's important that every person takes time to reflect on their lives and realise that every decision they make is within arms reach. Sure it's easy to get stressed, sure it's easy to quit and drown yourself in alcohol and artificial substances. At the end of the day, it's your life, and be proud of everything you do :)
I love life. You should too.
"Those who say 'It can't be done' are often interrupted by those doing it"
I got this in a fortune cookie yesterday. Awesome.
Oh, and I'm organising a Trivia Night (sorta like Rockwiz) with my church for Zimele. Whoever wants to know more mail me, and I'll send you a flyer.
While we are in comfortable socio-economic strata, let's give back to the community :)
+ Have an awesome day +

happy happy joy joy...
Happy Easter everyone! and Happy End of Daylight-Savings for all you nocturnal party animals :P
You may be thinking: 'O no, he's gone and pulled another publicity stunt...' Which is true, to an extent. The whole world revolves around advocating your self interest and to get the world to notice you for who you are.
Anywho...it was upon advice by Jackson Chen that I thought: 'Maybe it's good if I publish my thoughts' So voila!
Many of you know me as having many personas. The fun and friendly guy. The really quiet kid who doesn't say much. The kid with a big mouth. The dnm guy. I hope to expose all these personas and more through frequent blogs.
Today, since my MSN is down, I feel like talking about friendships, because friendships are vital in the hostile world which is VCE. Indeed VCE is a Very Crappy Experience, and I reckon VCE is comprised of two battles:
1) battle to get a high ATAR
2) battle against the monotony of work work work, or as i like to call it, the ocean of apathy
It is during battle 2 that friendships are vital. Nobody wants to be left alone; however, nobody should feel like they have to be a psychologist for all of their friend's problems (unless they're in a intimate relationship , which I'll get to)
Friendships can nourish your life in so many ways, but it can also be poison that sucks the living daylight out of you (watch out, Robert Pattinson). The key to a good friendship, i think, is this:
1) Friends need to have fun :) That's what attracts one person to another, when they have something in common that is reinvigorating in their life, for eg: My first band not only provided me with the joy of music, but also with the joy of community and the presence of 3 other guys doing stupid shit, such as hitting the cowbells on our heads, and singing to Taylor Dayne.
2) Friends help each other through any viscous adversity whatsoever. There's nothing like that feeling when you know somebody's watching your back and lifting you up from crumbling ashes.
3) On that note as well, it's important to give your friend some space. One thing I've realised over the years is that unless you're in a really close relationship like a bf/gf relationship, bromance or whatnot, you need to give the frienship time to breathe. There's nothing worse than an exhausted relationship with no avenue of conversation and interest. With intimate relationships like the aforementioned, you just need to talk through with the other person and balance the social scales so you're both happy.
4) Communication is key. It sucks when communication falls through, and suddenly you end up with your friend hating you, or you having to break up with your partner because you don't trust each other anymore. Never underestimate a person's ability to listen. Everyone needs a crying shoulder.
I'm sure there's many other things I could tackle, but it's nearing midnight and i should clock my 7th hour of guitar practice for the hols. I hope I didn't sound too didactic and know-all.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday; I hope to post one/two more entries before the holidays finish.
+God bless+ :)
