HA HA. It has been way too long since I last blogged. And yet what is funny is that nothing has really changed. Still working as a doormat for my company... however there may be a light at the end of tunnel. My awesome girl Kelly has been, in her wisdom, sending my jobs in the human service industry that are in management... and I'm taking a serious look at them. Work better get better if they want to keep me around.
I've got myself a new hobbie... PAINTBALL!!! HA HA! It's my new "sporting commitment" as far as work are concerned. It all came about after months of work and doing nothing for myself that was really exciting. My mate called me up to go play paintball cause he was organising heaps of people to go out. I was in just to have an excuse not to go to work. He was telling me that he had actually joined the club and had bought his own set of goggles and everything. After that day on the feilds, I had to join as well. For the first time in months I actually felt good... or releved or something like that... So I joined, bought my goggles and have been hitting the fields ever since... ha ha... and as far as work knows, every couple of weeks I have "sporting commitments" meaning I can't go to work on Saturday morning, or have the Friday night sleepover!! HA HA! Win win... for me!
Anyways as usual... Keep rocking people.

Last blog... JULY 29th! WHOLEY CRAP!!! (Yes I did mean a crap in its complete form.) Time to sum up the last month...
Went to work...
Got home many hours later...
Crashed on my couch...
Got up to go to work...
Wow that is really sad.
I found myself with a free ticket to a concert the other day. I had always heard of these elusive free concert tickets. I have now come to know of 3 people who got free tickets to Metallica when they last toured Australia. ALL IN THE FRONT MOSH PIT! I was pissed cause I had to stand in the back section because they had sold out of the front mosh pit by the time i bought my ticket. (I bought my ticket, 45 minutes after they had been released for sale by the way.) Lucky fuckers.
Since then I have known many who got free tickets to events because one of the friends couldn't go to the event for some verious reason or another. I had always wondered when such a ticket would find its way into my hands. Alas it happened... to Disturbed...
In going to the event I was very much looking forward to getting out of the house, while not really looking forward at all to the music. (I have been a hermit of late. Playstation 3 has taken over too much of my life at the moment.) So there I was, standing in probably one of the softest metal crouds I have ever been in, trying to comprehend what P.O.D were doing up on stage, wondering if free tickets are usually like torture.
I was pleasently surprised however in how much I got into Disturbed when they finially come on stage. It took me back to when I was a young boy, newly discovering Metal while drawing manga when I was still going to high school. At one stage I found myself banging my head to The Game, one of the better songs they have. It was at this stage I hoped no one I knew was at this event... which is a contridiction to what I am doing now, telling all of you. Anyways, at the end of the night, I had a better time then my gf, who's friend bailed on her, hence my free ticket.
Keep Rocking Suicide Girlies!!!

So it has been ages since I have been online last. Let me bring you all up to speed as to why I haven't been able to get online.
For the past 2 months I have been in the process of changing employers as I have come to realise that the place I currently work for, my infact be ripping us employees off buy underpaying us. They also may have fucked us over when it comes to how much tax they have paid to the government on our behalf. This is however unsubstainiated at the moment... so don't tell anyone.
A few weeks back I attented my mates wedding as a groomsman. We all figured he would be the first of us to fall. He's a great guy though... he deserves to be happy. I laughed later on though because I found out that some random girls at the park where the wedding was, thought I was the one getting married. They said they thought this because apparently I was the best looking. They must have had there beer goggles on that day. Here are some happy shots....
The groomsmen... can anyone spot which one is my brother?
Me and my demon girlfriend Kelly...
What is funny about this photo is that Mum was telling us to smile nicely all day. Thanks Mum.
Ladies...
Don't worry I know what you are thinking...
After the wedding, we headed to Melbourne... our first stop after the flight...
Mmmm doughnuts.....
We went to the Game On exibition and played heaps of old school games... I kicked Kelly's arse at Miss Pacman, however for some reason she was freakishly good as fighting games like Virtual Fighter...
A shot of us up the top of the tallest residential building in the southern hemisphere... did someone say base jumping...?
*Drool*
Can you spot the poo on the cake...?
Our next stop was Mt. Buller!!! It was fucking awesome... many falls were had on the skis... mainly by me.
First time I had seen and touched snow.
How dare they give me a blue jacket!!! Don't they know it's not metal!!! Definatly not brutal...
Mini snowman... definatly brutal. The snow was not soft enough to make a large snowman.
Ever since I have been back it has been crazy. Running around trying to get stuff done and organised... such a pain. I will be in touch with you all soon. Till then... Keep rocking!

It has been way too long since I have last posted on this site. A huge sorry to all my friends for not being on the boards or leaving you guys comments. To those of my friends who have just lost a friend, I am truly sorry for your loss and hope you survive the pain you are going through at the moment.
It has been a crazy past couple of weeks. One of the girls decided to quit at work, leaving myself and another to pick up all the slack. It is complete bullshit because as it was, we were both working 45 hour + weeks. So now we have to fill in on top of that. My fellow worker has almost been an inspiration to me as she always seems to give without worry for herself. Today she confided in me that she was feeling really burnt out. My response was "Thank god! I thought I was the only one and you were subhuman!"
For the past 3 Sundays I have been meeting up with some guys who have a metal band. I randomly met their bass player on the train one day when I was working. Looking at the way I dress (typical metalhead even at work), he asked if I was a singer/screamer. After some friendly small talk and my client nudging me in the side, I confessed that I could scream... not that great of a singer by any stretch of the imagination. So I've been heading down there and screaming along with them. I think it is going well... but I've thought that before and it hasn't worked out. Doesn't bother me too much if it doesn't work out. I'll get my Sundays back.
As for the girl... I don't think I could possible do any better... I'm not sure that better even exists. She's amazing in every sense of the word.
Hope this receives you well. To all the Brisbanites, we have to catch up soon!
Keep rocking fellow suicidals!

For the past couple of weeks now I have had to endure this cold/flu/cough thing that just doesn't seem to want to go away. GO AWAY! When I first got it, it was like any other cold, you feel like shit, nose runs, coughing and all that. Then it reduced itself to just a cough... now it is back to being runny nose and feeling tired all the time. Maybe I should go to the doctor... I hate doctors... the last time I went to the doctor, I got the wrong medication. I was misdiagnosed. After I got over my sickness, a massive rash developed all over my body. I looked like The Thing from Fantastic Four. All of this occurred during my uni holidays back when I was still going. I hate doctors.
God this world would be so much better if we didn't get sick... or if we didn't have to sleep! I would love the choice not to sleep if I didn't have to. Maybe I would have enough time to do those things that I really want to do. Although if that were true, our work lives would probably still take over that extra time we have. Instead of having a 8 hour day, we would have like a 14 to 16 hour day... that would suck. I work too much as it is. I would so experience the world if I were able to pay the bills with it. I hate being stuck in the one place all the time. I want to see places I haven't seen before. See things developed from centuries ago. I would love to see the pyramids and the Great Wall. Hell I'll take the now taken down Berlin Wall. I want to speak another language so that when I am driving in another country, I can abuse them with my road rage in there native tongue.
But no doubt I will just stay at home and lick the cats butt.
Keep rocking suicidals!

Things that bring a tear to my eye... my new tv...
Yesterday I found myself just staring at it... not watching anything... it wasn't even turned on... I just couldn't stop staring at it.
Last night was both the most fulfilling and disappointing night of my life. One of my most favourite bands, Chimaira played at Riverstage. During there set I was second row centre the whole time. I was going crazy, I couldn't stop screaming lyrics the whole time they played. Every time someone tried to push me out of my spot I would elbow them in the face... I just didn't care. No one was going to ruin this concert for me! But someone did... well actually they are the headlining band... Korn. Why the fuck did Chimaira support Korn? Why couldn't they do there own individual show! I wanted a full set from Chimaira! Hour and a half of CHIMAIRA!! NOT FUCKING KORN! Chimaira, like in the fashion I would expect, brought all the chaos they could for the time they had. It was pure fucking metal for 40 minutes straight. While all the other bands talked shit in-between songs, Chimaira just kept playing song after song... no bullshit talk. At the end of there set, I felt I had been ripped off, I wanted more. In essence... fuck korn! Chimaira fucking rules.
Keep rocking fellow suicidals!

So I just got back from the Brisbane meet up at Garuva Restaurant. Probably one of the best nights I have had that didn't include Heavy Metal (apart from my iPod, to and from the event) or hooking up with a girl. I think there was about 20 people who went. Unfortunately I didn't get to talk to you all but those of you who I did talk to, your all fucking awesome. It was mind blowing to finally meet up with my Metal sister Lelaina. She's super hot in person and amazing to talk to. Had a blast sitting with SoS, Tez, Goldfish, Dye, Neko and Lex. Also all very super awesome people. Cleverthings dancing was sweet as, totally suited my cap as well. Ghost I have to say, gorgious! Super nice too. Had to sit next to me all night and she didn't complain! She's got a high tolerance for pain I'm sure. Could have used a little more food though for $20! OH and who the fuck didn't pay for there meal??! You owe a big thank you to those of us who chipped in for ya! All in all it was an awesome night and I hope to see you guys all again really soon.
Keep rocking and stay metal!

Keep rocking and stay metal!

Last night... too much rum and coke... not enough sleep... greasy breakfast... sick in the gut... greasy food's fault... why do I do this to myself... oh yeah... good times...
So today I did the Brisbane City Freeze day thingy. It was too funny. For those who don't know what it is, the Freeze day thing is basically heaps of people freezing into one position for 5 minutes in a crowded area just to confuse the hell out of everyone. I almost cracked up laughing only 10 seconds into the freeze when I over heard two Japanese girls say "Oh what is going on? Do we need to stop?" For the rest of the 5 minutes, this is all I could think of. Surprisingly it was actually quite easy to hold in one position for that long.
I was also able to meet my fellow Suicidals, Goldfish, Lexiphanic and Cleverthings. They seemed pretty cool for the 30 seconds that I actually got to talk to them before having to race off on them to catch up to my friend who decided to wheel off without me. Hopefully I will be able to catch up with them in the future... new friends are always awesome. I think I scared them all too much though...
Keep rocking SG!

So I just finished editing my profile. Not much has changed, but there is one major change. Can you spot it? I'll give you a hint...
Awww she's camara shy...
Yes that's right ladies... I am no longer on the meat market. *Passes around a box of tissues* HA HA... maybe in my dreams... Seriously though, we have know each other for a few years now, however I never had the guts to do anything... that and I was with someone else for the majority of the time. Finally I have a girlfriend that is also a Metalhead... it's a dream come true... no longer will I have to drag my gf to metal gigs... she will actually want to go! I hate to admit it, but I'm completely smitten...
On a side note, guitar is going awesomely. I'm trying to learn Cowboys from Hell at the moment... but I'm nowhere near the speed that Dimebag could play at. RIP my metal brother! Maybe I should play songs that I can actually play... I think my guitar needs new strings though...
Oh, this weekend is the first weekend off that I have had in ages so what happens work texts me this morning to see if I can work today excuse me? I JUST WORKED A 50 HOUR WEEK AND YOU WANT ME TO DO MORE! Obviously I said no however I still feel bad about it though not about saying no to my manager saying no to my client but I need the time off. I've noticed myself becoming very agitated at work in the last 2 weeks. Mainly due to the fact that in the last 2 weeks I have had a total of 2 days off.
Keep rocking my fellow suicidals!
