pictures in an exhibition

” I think you caught me on the downslide, downturn
I was busy writing with a pen and paper thin dream
And all your plastic people with plastic hearts and smiles
They had the worst intentions all along after all, all, all , all “

Hey guys, if this blog was ever to become an episodal (is that a word?) vlog of some sort with an intro theme and all i think today’s song would be pictures in an exhibition by death cab for cutie. Its got a bit of everything in there… emo (I think you caught me on the downslide…), kind of an metaphor thing to blog writing (i was busy writing with a pen and paper…) and lastly a bit about the people who bag me out though the comments in my blogs (they had the worst intentions all along after all…)

Umm bit of a musical theme today for my blog lol and i think ill start with soundwave.

Soo… soundwave… where to start… well ill start of by saying that i completely regret not going to this years… ALL the bands that i have missed and will maybe never have the chance to see again… and comparing this year’s line up to next years… this years was defiantly better…

But i better stop myself complaining about the past there and start complaining about the future.

So… WHY OH WHY do they have to make FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS and HELLOGOODBYE clash in the timetable… ( i can’t be bothered to explain whats going on here, so if you don’t really know… im sorry… )

It just isnt fair… and to prove to you just how much this clash has been bothering me i will try and recreate for you my whimsical attempt to change my future and take a hold of my destiny, future, fate.

Me (on the soundwave forums):

heyo

quick question

is there any reason why forever the sickest kids have to clash with hellogoodbye in sydney?

A reply from a stranger:

because that’s how they roll

Me:

damn…

why do they have to roll so gay…

And that was it LOL two posts with only one person actually acknowledging my comment.

I guess beggars can’t be choosers… (or maybe everything happens for a reason)

Congratulations Death Cab for Cutie Ticket Winner

Hey guys,

So much has happened over the last 48 or something hours… i dont really know where to start… But i guess i should start typing something or else i will continue to just sit here procrastinating…

So… as you can see (or more like i hope that you have noticed) the what im wearing page is up and running! and thats kinda cool except i was meant to do the what im wearing thing at least every second day but since i was in a horrible mood when i got home last night i didnt take a picture of myself and it looks like this might turn into a once a week thing rather then a every second day thing… but neither the less i hope you enjoy it.

Umm…. oh ok… i realized after writing my previous blog that i dont really like the direction that my blog is heading like this whole “im talking about nothing business…” so just as a public notice announcement kind of think i want to tell you guys that i am going to try and steer away from blogs like that and try to write ones that are more relevant? i dunno…

On a completely different topic, one of my friends, Lenny, has recently recorded a vlog (video blog)… and uhh… what can i say… its beautiful. Not once whilst watching did i think “wow this is boring” the whole time i was captivated by his ability to drive and talk at the same time (something that i am incapable of doing) but yeah i know what youre thinking “so what about Lenny’s blog or vlog this is your blog Tim talk about your own stuff” and yeah your right i should be talking about my own stuff so what i was going to talk about was whether if i should make my own vlog tomorrow…

The reason i am asking you this is because in Lenny’s vlog there was a part about me, one on how he catagorized me as scene and his explanation of why he did it… this brought the thought/idea of making a video response, maybe a similar driving video blog…

Recently ive been playing a whole lot of Brawl. This is mainly due to the absolute humiliation that Ricky put me through on Melee earlier this week. But not only did i lose to Ricky (who i consider an actual pro) i lost to Ivan and Billy as well… so with this new found determination i have been hard at work training myself on brawl so that when that day comes, the day where we are playing Brawl not Melee, i will be prepared, readied and poised to defeat my adversaries.

Now to the main topic of discussion. Umm… i dont know if you guys remember… but i think about 2 posts ago i mentioned my participation in a competition to win tickets to see (one of my favourite bands) death cab for cutie LIVE and intimate at a myspace secret show. And so… if you do recall this entry you might remember me saying that i hated myself for my stupid response.

WELL IVE GOT GOOD NEWS!

I WON.

Yep thats right with my crappy response, somehow, i won… this being the first ever thing that i have ever won (on this caliber) in my life i think that i deserved it. With this i basically have an action packed week a head of me… firstly ive got the death cab for cutie concert at the enmore that i am going to where me and my friends just managed to get row v seats for… for this ill have to figure out a way to bring a change of clothes to work and also find a way to leave work early so i can get to the enmore in time…

Then on tuesday ill have the myspace secret show! where ill again have to find a way to leave work early… well actually im planning to work half a day on tuesday then working another half day on thursday after uni to make up for it. Also on tueday i am planning to bring my acoustic guitar to the secret show to see if i can get ben gibbard to sign it!!!

well its 3:41am and im staying up because of stupid reasons that im not going to explain to you… so i think ill just leave it here for today… or tomorrow… or whatever it is…
