2am... ive been drinking... tis is what happens...
Looking up high at the Milky way,
See the stars shining bright as day,
As i stare up at the sky above,
Can't express my night sky love,
And the only words i here myself say,
Is that i wish i could be that far away,
Living my life from hand to mouth,
In this great land down in Africa South,
Got to be a big man in the present tense,
Can't spend my days sitting on the fence,
It's a problem i dare not to face,
Trying to avoid any fall from grace,
So i chase my wildest dreams floating high up there,
Trying to live my life in the only way fair,
Remembering that it only takes time,
To make a reality from the moral of this rhyme.
Yaaaaaay for having your car stolen from outside your house. Got to love it...
So the funniest part is... i get a text from my mate... went something like this
Kyle: "Dude, did you sell your car?"
Me: "No mate, my car was stolen this morning"
Kyle: " Oh Hectic, cause i just saw two black guys driving it down Vanrova Road in Tongaat (town)"
Not a minute later the vehicle tracking comapny calls me and says: "Mr.Scott, we are very sorry but we have not been able to locate your vehicle"
My response: "Have you tried Vanrova Road in Tongaat"
So im not quite sure why i am paying the tracking company 215 bucks a month if when my car gets stolen they cant find it??? T.I.A :This is Africa and Africa aint for sissy's.
So after all the ins and out im hoping to buy something like this...
Although these are becoming pricey as they are ow vintage and collectable. Lets just see what i manage to get out of the insurance people. Probably screw me over too.
Blog blog blog. Bloggity Blog blog Bloggity BAAAAHLOG! ok so im stalling while i sit here and think at how im going to approach writing the going ons of my life. To be honest i don't think there is anything exciting going on in my life worth talking about hahahaha. I just felt the need to say something to someone even if no-one is listening (reading). I find myself talking to myself A LOT! and i don't mean like a line here or there... i mean like a full on conversation... then i catch myself doing it and i look around to see if anyone else heard it cause it was out loud or if it was all just going on in my head. What can i say im a rather peculiar individual. But hey that's part of the package. Yes ladies for just 2.99 you can probably own this lump of strangely lost soul hahahahah WHAT A SALES PITCH! Anyway SG landers...i hope things are a little more exciting and happy as a heffalump with a pot full of honey for you all out there. I think i am just going to stop writing now. PEACE OUT BIATCHES...word.
Ive been playing so much rugby lately and my old veteran frame has taken a bit of a beating. Been playing 1 and a half games a weekend and now have made my city districts representative side and hopefully will again get selected for my provincial (state) team for the September Tour. Anyway i quite like the feeling of having a fatigued body. It makes me feel like i have been active and healthier. For some reason i like to hurt from high impact contact sports. Must be some kind of addiction because ive been playing the damn sport for 20 years. Oh and for those who dont know what rugby is and who might be reading this (Although i doubt i get to many people following this blog), Here is a little taster...
No padding like American football. Now you can understand my whining after 20 years of that hahahaha.
Other than that not much going on. Grandfather turns 80 today... what a good innings so far and after losing my Gran at the end of last year we are going to try our best to give him a great birthday with this being the first one in 60 years without her.
Thursday my Mother moves from South Africa to Cyprus (Greece). Going to be weird not having her 45 minutes away but im glad she is doing her thing and getting out their to better her artist career. Maybe i will get to go visit her sometime.
Um... yeah thats about it really just felt like putting some words down and clearing the mind a bit.
Let me know what you all think about the rugby thing know this isnt really a sport driven community hahahah
Ok so its time to write another blog... Unfortunately things havent really been going that smoothly of late. Works been slow. Moneys been scarce, By the end of the month every single member of my immediate family will be in another country and i will be a lone wolf and on top of all that i hit a pothole driving home from Rugby practice this evening and burst my front tyre.... more to shell out cash for.
But...
To all that.
I'm not going to let it get me down. Onwards and upwards. Every great artist has some kind of turmoil in their lives to deal with. Creativity is bred from the conflicted mind.
Within any artist is a conflicted soul. Tormented by the urge to create yet having constrictions within reality. It is the fire that feeds the mind its ammunition in the war between logic and passion. - Me
Had a thought that ide like to make another vlog but not quite sure what to talk about so rather than sit around and um and aaaagh i was thinking that i would ask whoever reads my puny little blog to give me some questions on what you would like to know about me, where i live, what im about etc etc.... Im an open book. Also thought i might do a small animated sequence to it too but we will see what comes of that.... Might revisit an old character i came up with in college... hmmmm... maybe...
Lastly... Time for a laugh cause i need a laugh...
Awwwww bless you Katy Perry an your wonderful fun pillows....
So i have been teetering on the edge of once again picking up a palette knife and applying sone paint to a canvas... I have been scowering the internet for some much need inspiration and in finding the joys of Pinterest i have managed to latch onto some amazing art that has pushed me to get my act together and to once again create some new artworks on Block mounted Canvas with my oils. Here are some of the tings that have pushed me to gt back into painting and have been inspiring me to get more creative once again... Here is where I am in terms of my current painting skills...
A loooooooong way to go and lets hope i can get this one finished as i have only ever finished 3 or 4 paintings my entire life.... Not one of the perks of being Creatively Bipolar!
Been a hell of a start to 2013... Things have been tough but i get through things with music, laughs and appreciating my home South Africa for the beautiful place it is.
Such as :
Motorhead... Got to love these guys and their no nonsense rock n roll... Lemy is an ICON!
