the conflict between patience and yearning.

This holiday house rules so hard. If I had a dollar for every flip I did into this pool today I would have about 25 bucks. Nice house, sweet pool, amazing people. Let’s all move to Byron.

this is my “bad things happen to good people” post 

i’ve been thinking about people that inspire / intrigue me - ‘heroes’ for lack of a better word. it’s been obvious to me for awhile that i tend to romanticise about tragedy in the lives of people who are truly amazing at what they do. would these kinds of people stand out to us if there wasn’t something that prevented them from living a full life?

or, in stephen hawking’s case, would he have accomplished more or less without his illness? 

would jeff buckley have sold out to the soul-crushing artist-fucking mtv industry? (the same one that tried so hard to ruin michael jackson’s life) 

if he were still alive, would he have put out a record that i didn’t like? 

sometimes i wish for more drama in my life, but i know that these people didn’t have a choice. 

the following quote from bill hicks never fails to give me shivers -

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly colored, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, “Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, “Hey, don’t worry; don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.”

And we … kill those people. “Shut him up! I’ve got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.” It’s just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn’t matter, because it’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.

Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”

One of may favourite parts about building stuff is raw metal straight off the tool.

Oh damn, that’s right. The man cave has a fully functional 6 square handball court.

So I am now the administrator of the raddest man cave in Brisbane. It is a place to jam, play sega master system and just generally bro down. It’s like in the movies where the cool guy has the abandoned warehouse to hang out in. Well me and my 10 band comrades are now that guy. Party on.

Braid - A Dozen Roses

I remember when my mate Carl called out to Bob Nanna at his Kill The Music in-store, “A Dozen Roses!” Bob looked over and said “Sure, since we’re such good friends and all,” and played an awesome solo version of this.

Thanks for saying what we were all thinking, Carl.

Printed! Noice.
