Hoi hoi!
Long time no post. Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year!
So it has been a big 8 months since last post - the wife and I have made a big move into the centre of the city and absolutely loving it. Cafes, pubs, theatres, public transport and shopping all within a heartbeat and its really freeing up life for us both. Its been schweeet!!
My previous obsession with video games has been all but smooshed thanks to life being so accessible where we are. I used to park myself in front of the xbox and zone out for whole days but the world has been my oyster of late. I'm back on the skateboard, playing sport once more and writing more music than I can believe.
Life is very good these days. The holiday period came along at the best time and a trip away to the Peats Ridge Music Festival has really rejuvenated the mind and body. Anyway, I'd love to ramble on further about the latest exploits over the past months but life awaits people!! Go grab a piece!........although I still haven't finished the new Assassins Creed....shall I??
Just messin

I love you but...if procrastination was a religion, you'd be the pope
So I am a self proclaimed procrastinator. I have so many things that I want to get done but when I finally sit down to churn something out I have a sudden urge to study ceilings of my apartment. Either that or I get an overwhelming sense that my itunes album covers need to be updated. Bloody hopeless.
I remember the chapter from "The Road Less Travelled" which focussed on delaying gratification and try to knuckle down but alas, my machine just aint geared that way. A cop out I know but today is just one of those days where the call to watch hours of movie trailers is just too strong, don't ask me why but I HAVE to know what the new colin farrell movie is about.....is the heroine a fish or a mermaid or is this a new darker remake of "splash"?....o no wait its just a shit movie about a lonely fisherman, what's up next? Ooo the "Bring It On" franchise has a new movie out....nope that's shit too.
I like to tell myself that as an early bloomer (intelligence wise of course....I was a short arse till the age of 19) I just got to a stage where I got bored waiting for the divs to catchup so instead of charging ahead with my academic prowess, I kept putting things off with an attitude of "I'll knock through that exam on the fly, I don't need to study like these jokers"....unfortunately after years of working this way I got to a point where studying really was needed and these so-called "divs" and "jokers" where making me look like a royal dunce.
Anyway, I guess I should get back to my course work, ooo wait an encore of "Hoarders" is on! I'll get to that coursework as soon as this episode is over......ah nuts.....i'm doomed!!

I love you but...drawing black and white portraits doesn't necessarily make you an artist
Yeah I know, but my handle on colour composition ain't up to scratch just yet. I thought I'd throw up a few old sketches I'm currently salvaging, they were one of the many that were in my sketch book back when we were flooded twice in 1 week. I'm lucky to have these (depending on how much you rate them of course). Enjoy, or don't....completely up to you.....

I love you but....those shoes do not match that outfit
I should preface this post by stating that this is my first entry so, welcome universe - yaya playa!! ehem....apologies for that, I sometimes slip into gangsta vocab but as a comedian once stated "white guys call me honkey", so sadly my attempt at gangsta speak is quite pathetic really. Anyway, welcome to my blog "I love you but...", I hope you enjoy.
I love you but....those shoes do not match that outfit
I am a 28 year old man who grew up constantly anxious of the fact that my wardrobe was predominately made up of hand-me-downs and items from a goodwill bin. So by the time I was able to choose my own clothing I was very particular about what I wore and how my outfit would be perceived. This shortly coincided with my introduction into the skateboarding scene and I was very proud of my ability to tow the line of being clearly identifiable as a skater while still presenting a fairly smart dress sense.
When I went to uni and started studying drama, I introduced an extra addition to my wardrobe, maintaining my skate foundations and introducing an odd retro jacket or long sleeve collared shirt into the mix every now and then. I was very happy with this little mix.....enter my wife. Now, I wasn't any ladykiller but I like to think the way I presented myself was one of the reasons my wife was drawn to me and vice-versa (the woman knows how to dress).
However much to my surprise, 7 years down the track my wife doesn't trust that I know how to match an outfit.....granted I have several pairs of shoes that standout (red nike high tops, maroon globes, purple and black nike low tops, black vans, grey slip ons, brown julius marlows and a mean pair of grey ugg boots.....but I still maintain that maroon skateshoes with a smart Ben Sherman jacket will blow people away!! That a sweet pair of brown business shoes can go with a grey suit and blue shirt. Or even a red pair of high tops will always look better when worn with shorts so people get the full experience...right?? Maybe not. Possibly my issue is that I use my wardrobe as my last bastion of defence against growing up....let me have that at least I reckon.......ahhh who am I kidding....I'm a 28 year old man who plays video games, loves Lord of the Rings and giggles like a school girl at the possibility of going to see the new Thor movie out now.....I'm sure there'll be plenty of posts about those little gems down the track but for now I'm signing off.....while wearing a great sweatshirt, blue and yellow trackpants and a sweet pair of maroon skateshoes and by Jesus I'm comfy.
