Mysterious = some gimmicky thing to do with a web domain, countdown clock, random things posted around Darwin and other... stuff cause that's all I got for now (the tent should be at the vates again, sure we can work something out) Awesome = one week in the cook islands, all it takes is like $2,500 not including flights to Brisbane or spending money!

You say “Fuck Kmart.” but you don't declare any unhappiness working for them, just some incident involving someone who wanted you fired. Perhaps I misread. Anyway, 2009 is a fresh year, lots of time to do whatever you want. I don't think you went through any plans you had, have you thought about going anywhere or doing anything in particular? PS: Nice round-up of some of the galleries you've taken at the bottom. I take it they were your favourites of each? PPS: Here's to one more year of cyber-friendship! ;* I was pretty confused 1/2 was through your post when you state you were in NSW until I realised you were going through your posts through the year, heh.

I’m just not the whore-writer I used to be. I remember the nights I spent (avoiding homework) writing these posts until the wee hours of the morning, putting it on my site and the next day or so have people come up to me all gushy about my new post (can’t ignore those posts I wrote and password protected them now can we :-)) Now-a-days, I get all gushy when I write something because well, I wrote something. It seems this time last year was the time Nick was back up, although this year wasn’t as festive as last year was. I’ve seen him a few times over the past month, but not much. I think that just about applies to everyone that I hung around with back in the day. Actually, reading through this old post, last Christmas was a mirror image for this year aswell. Around this time last year I had started to take photos in Discovery (New Years was the first time), and I’m still there doing just that. Over the past 12 months I’ve changed my style of photos and the layout of my site, and I’m at the point where I’m pretty happy with both. My photos turn out awesomely, and my site (and the gallery) works like a charm.

There’s nothing wrong with Kmart, it’s just not exciting anymore. I’ve just gotta get out of retail before it eats me alive.

Take a no-commitment flat somewhere, monthly rent, no contract. Then you do exactly what you've been doing in Darwin. You had to find your own jobs, if I'm not mistaken. You need to stick to one thing and fucking own that thing. If it's photography, then you need to go out there and find your own jobs, call people, take photos of shit for people regardless, etc. There's nothing wrong with working at Kmart, it pays the bills and keeps you alive.

Generally if something ever happens or people want me to do stuff, it's always at the same time. Without fail, it's always the same damn time. I find myself only really looking at myself in a negative manner if I'm incredibly bored and it's easier to critique myself harder when I've got nothing occupying my head. If anything, I've found out it's easier to be pessimistic about a situation than it is to be optimistic. Oh, and yeah, still 'working' at Kmart, I just have to get off my ass and go find a new job. I was talking to someone the other day about leaving Darwin and going interstate and doing the same down there (taking photos), but I wouldn't know where to start.

I don't mean that in a negative way, it's just you're always idling on IRC and seem busy most of the time. I guess that's because of the timezone differences and you working at Kmart (do you still work there? there was no mention of still working). You get money for your photography right? You're pretty good from what I've seen, and you seem to be putting a downer on yourself. You state you always seem to write posts that follow this trend, but that's really your own doing. I mean, you're looking at things in a negative light, therefore your posts and outlook will be negative. Flip that shit, you find enjoyment in the smaller things, talk about them, you don't need to feel amazing and have done amazing things like heal a thousand lepers. Work on moanlog if you want :) (take that as a joke or a serious offer) Also I lolled at the Thunderbird sound thing.

But I just have to say that I swapped to the 215TW from a CRT monitor and noticed no difference in my games as far as ghosting or lag. In fact, the only difference I have noticed is that I have a nice BEAUTIFUL widescreen view in front of me. :D I have had zero problems with this monitor and I will continue to use it for a long, long time to come.
