mail man brings MORE good news

Horrible quality once again.
<--I received a notice in the mail to go pick up a package at the post office. Little did I know it would contain such a surprise!
WE LOVE SOUNDS 2010!





Once I arrived home I saw a large envelope peaking through the letter box. I was greeted with this lovely little treat from my friends at Frankie! The model on this months issue is absolutely gorgeous! --->




Sydney Swans vs. West Coast Eagles starts in a short hour or so, hence the scarf. But my excitement is more directed towards the ANZAC day match between Magpies and Bombers tomorrow afternoon. I hope with all my might that it can some how top last years match intensity.

hypocritical

I think your behaviour as of late warrants a hoard of obscene language. But moreover, it brings to light many unsettled feelings of hypocrisy on your behalf.

You know that feeling of insignificance and irrelevance? Yeah, it sucks.

CPR

My AFL Dream Team this year needs a MAJOR revival. Averaging scores of 1600 is not on, especially since head to head rounds have just begun. Doesn't take a genius to work out I got absolutely annihilated in both my leagues this week! Damn my poor captain choosing skills!
P.S. to the incompetent wanker working at the studio, here's a bright idea .. FILE THE PAPER WORK PROPERLY SO I DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS! >=/

splendid

Splendour in the Grass, THE winter indie music festival to be seen at. Usually held in Byron Bay NSW, but due to overwhelming demand, it is going to be held up in QLD for 2010. I must admit, this line up is probably the most solid since the festival first began in 2001. Artists such as The Strokes, Mumford and Sons, Florence + the Machine, The Temper Trap, Pixies, Goldfrapp, The Vines, British India, Passion Pit, Lisa Mitchell, Tame Impala (and the list goes on), will be making an appearance in the notorious three day festival which provide camping grounds for a majority of the patrons.
My love for Splendour just grew 10 fold, but it's a shame I can't go. My heart broke when I realised it was over the weekend of one of my close girlfriends 21st, two of my boys' 22nd birthdays and an AFL game which we all have tickets for already.
Maybe next year. Fingers crossed the line up is as solid. (Please bring back Bloc Party!)

On the topic of all things festivals, I need to make a HUGE shoutout to Anna and AJ from UA for giving Felicia and I their free tickets to Creamfields. Both of them received two free tickets each and Felly and I were the lucky ones to make use of these free tickets! My excitement levels are about to burst through the ceiling with festival after gig after festival after gig lined up over the next 3-4 months.

Now moving onto something completely irrelevant to music, the Sydney Swans won their 3rd game in a row yesterday afternoon! An amazing performance by Dan 'the man' Hannebery in the second half (total of 28 possessions), major props to Goodesy as per usual. And of course, Jesse White for that mark on Lachie Hanson which was pivotal to the entire game.

Speaking of AFL, I best get back to finishing my readings before the Melbourne/Richmond game is televised!

broken bones

In amongst all the frenzy of University and work, Nathan managed to practically break his entire arm.
I remember my first broken bone. It was in Year 2 when the fattest kid in the class sat on it. The pain was excrutiating. So when I heard that poor Nath tore ligaments and fractured such and such, it hurt me too.
I hope you heal up supersuper fast Nath! Eight more weeks until you can swing your arms around like a crazy animal again!

photoexplosion

A crazy weekend spent with the girls again! Pub Crawl was well spent this time, the three pittstop rule was enforced and was very successful! Started off cheap at Pavillion where we gathered as a small group, then headed to the VERY classy Hilton Hotel for Marble Bar and finished off down the road at Brooklyn Hotel.
After all the frenzy of getting tickled, winning scissors paper rock TWICE in a row ;), falling out of bar stools and screaming obscenities out the car window, we crashed at Felicia's house at a solid 5AM
After all the nutty drinking, parasailing was on the agenda with the bestie at Manly. By far the best adrenaline experience I've ever had! Weather was perfect as were wind conditions. But we all froze after getting out of the water!
With the ladies at Pavillion
A very drunk Felicia raping yours truly at Marble Bar.

Reunited with the Stereosonic buddy, Andy!


Wreaking havoc in Felicia's kitchen again!

All strapped up and ready for some high flying!

Getting buckled in!

And offff weeee goooo..

Getting dunked.

On the way back down to the safe boat.

mail man brings good news


Poor image quality with my trusty inbuilt webcam on my laptop, but I think it captures the excitement I felt when I ripped open the mail today.

my sunset.

Sometimes it's easier to say you don't care, than to explain all the reasons why you do.

you try to make me go to rehab..

I am very well aware that my blogging is probably on par with an unchanged diaper but the I guess the thought that I am blogging now is all that counts. Right?

Needless to say it has been a frantic year thus far.
I've started my new degree and have since decided my major, sub major and effectively, my potential career.
I've been in and out of rehabilitation and therapy for my severely damaged ankle resulting in a far too long a holiday from the dance scene.
And apparently, I am becoming wiser. Oh, yes. The dreaded wisdom teeth are coming through leaving me unable to eat for 3 days.
Somewhere in all of that I've found the time to celebrate a few birthdays, get drunk on a few occasions, go to the Sydney Swans' season opener for 2010 and save for the greatest winter festival, We Love Sounds. To add to my long list of upcoming events I must had THE TEMPER TRAP's gig on the 27th July. My excitement levels are reaching full capacity despite it being well over 100 days away.

But all in all, I think the best thing to come out of this year is the realisation that my friends are the strongest people alive, given all the adversity my groups faced since the turn of the decade.
