holy shit

i try not to curse often
but oh my gosh, i feel special

there are some moments in life that cannot be repeated. these unbelievable moments are what we live for, as we purge our anxieties and past life, and step forward to the future with a clean slate, and a composed, tranquil and peaceful state of mind.

thank you to everyone who attended ROCKOFF yesterday! I feel so grateful to have a community of friends who are so generous and optimistic in their support.
Kalaharis, thank you for making us feel good! Your professionalism serves as an inspiration to any aspiring musician.
MK Delta, thank you for a gung-ho set, the PA, and the audio engineering you provided on the night!
I wish the above bands all the best for the future as they have a lot to offer in the rock arena. They're both very generous, and all round bonza individuals :)

Before I forget, I must thank B X TRA. Now many people might have noticed an Asian guy playing piano/violin whilst you were coming in. This man (real name bingxue) got back to me within one day of invitations. Commitment and talent right there. Hats off to you!

And who could forget my fellow cover musicians. You guys have coped with so much schedule-moving and a very erratic Justin. Thank you so much for performing with me!

A tremendous group operation guys! couldn't have done it without you :)

We have raised over $200, people! This is going to flood affected individuals in Queensland. If I can get around to it, I might do some screen printing, print Will Exton's image onto T-Shirts, and they'll go on sale for $10, all proceeds to Queensland again. If you're interested, let me know :) it's a good reminder of the night.

i am indebted to everyone who came. thanks for the love :)
feel good, stay safe, have fun this year!
Justin

something need doin?

oh my
what a weekend! learned so much these last few days, it's not funny.
1) mates are important in life. bros before hos; HOWEVER, it is always good to have a balance of both.
2) living in the moment is fun, just don't let alcohol alter your behaviour too much
3) business cards are a great way of meeting people :)
4) nice guys finish last. girls don't like push-overs for a hookup or bf.
5) if you're insecure, stroke the furry wall :P nah, if you're insecure, drinking more alcohol does not help.
6) i'll sleep anywhere, so long as it gives me a good night's sleep.
7) started working at a chinese restaurant as a waiter, and officially stuffed up 4 orders today. regardless of how much customers and workers yell at you, keep composed, and don't be too hard on yourself.
8) if you're stressed, don't beat yourself up about it. talking to friends is a lot more therapeutic.
9) self esteem is the esteem of your freaking self! find ways of making yourself feel important.

yeh busy at this end. ROCKOFF! soon too...along with b'day in a few days. i'm taking life one day at a time.

hope all is well with everyone :)
