Hello

Today was a day of disappointments… or well today is a day of disappointments… this is mainly cause i didnt run the city 2 surf… which was a dream of mine… but i think i dont really have anyone else to blame but myself for this… the reason why i didnt run the marathon was because i refused to do it alone… and so i have come to the conclusion that i have no one else to blame but myself for not inviting others to come… or even if i did invite people, i didnt do it properly…

I could go on about how i never end up accomplishing my dreams and etc but that would only put me in a worse mood so i guess ill just talk about some other things that will help me see the brighter side of things…

Umm… what to talk about… oh ok… Recently, maybe a few days ago i noticed that i like girls who wear skirts with pockets. HAHA yes… i know it sounds strange but i dont know its something quirky about these skirts that attracts me to them

On a completely different topic… I realized umm i think on last Monday that im kind of strange… during my lunch break at work i found myself drawing out a storyboard for a film clip for a song.  I feel that the current clip or well the like actual film clip does an injustice to the song… I feel it doesnt really relate to what the song is about. But i may be wrong… anywho ill try and find my sketch of my storyboard from work and scan or take a picture of it and upload it on here so you guys can make the decision…

OH and this reminds me that i was meant to talk about those songs… haha well before i do i just want to say that if you havnt listen to Mayday Parade, PLEASE DO they are really cool pop punk/emo band. Im kind of afraid to link the video of the song because sometimes what the members in the bands look like or how they dress can influence if you like them or not… so… i dont know…

But getting back onto what i was going to talk about…

Tick of Time by The Kooks – There is something about this song… i think its the feeling you get from the lyrics… like the line “Its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you” and “What did i do to deserve her love” that appeal to me… maybe it is because at some point in my life i could relate to them or maybe its just the English accents…

Salty Eyes by The Matches – Hmmm i guess this is another sad song… i feel that now that im actually writing about these songs i have nothing to say… again i think its the lyrics in this song that attracted me to it and the concept of you being the main character of this sad song… Also the title of the song is something that i find smart and quirky.

Whistle For The Choir by The Fratellis – This song goes along with the whole emo/sad song theme/mood im in i guess. The first time i heard this song something inside me clicked imidiatly and i thought that this song would make the best track to play in the background of a certain time in my life. Which is probably the reason why i like it so much…

Anyways… i feel that this entry was kind of a let down… hopefully when i upload that sketch of the storyboards it will brighten things up.

FRIDAY!

What can i say? ALOT has happened over the last 2 days… and OHhhhhhh boy…. you guys, girls, internet folk and cyber trotters (that ones a bit gay…) dont know what i have instore for you today! anywho… ive got a feeling that i have alot to cover in this one blog post, so i think i better get started.

I think firstly, i should start off where i left off on Wednesday… After being called/categorized as a “Scene boy”, this idea of scene has been on my mind alot… and after asking everyone “what makes me so scene?” Ive narrowed it down to two things… apparently there are two things that make me scene.

  1. The way I dress…
  2. My hair…

And i dont understand… i always thought that i dressed nicely, colorfully and hopefully/possibly fashionably… but apparently i dont… and apparently, even though it isnt so apparent to me, i dress like a scene person… maybe its just gotten to my head… and its nothing… but it has just been on my mind alot lately and i thought i would share this with you.

Umm the next thing i wanted to talk about, the next topic on the agenda is… probably a little about today. I guess ill start off by reminding you that today is the 8th of the 8th month of the year 2008 and when this is put into the short hand date format it looks a little like this: 08/08/08, not that this has to do with anything i was going to talk about, but today was the day that the Olympic ceremony was held and the Beijing Olympic games officially started.  But again this has little to do with what i really want to talk about.

So getting back on to the topic… today me and my colleagues, the eight of us, had lunch together. After what i thought would be an never ending brainstorm/arguement on where to eat, we decided to go to McDonalds where we all bought pounders and embarked/took part in a race, a race to see which one of us could finish these heartstopping burgers first…

A race to find out which one of us would come last and have to bare the shame of not being able to finish the POUNDER… Luckily i came 7th out of the 8 and was spared from the ridicule and constant heckling, the two things, that made Jason (the last one to finish) spit/cough out his pounder all over the table.

On a different and final subject (only becuase its already 1am and im falling asleep)… i feel this weekend will hold interesting aspects… this is mainly because this Sunday, the 10th of August 2008, is the Sun Herald City 2 Surf, a 14km marathon, in which i have enrolled in… why did i do this? Because it has always been my dream to run a marathon… however this time things are a little strange… usually when i am close to or have acomplished a dream of mine i would be excited, but today… i am worried… worried because i will be running this marathon by myself… alone… flying solo… i dont really know how this will work out but all i do know is that i am going to need a hell of alot of music to see me through…

Well, i better end it here for today before my blog entry ends up turning into some kind of “…” filled blurb.
