Team Meeting

I was sitting in my team meeting today and I completely blanked out for the majority of the entire period of time.

It's wierd but it felt like I was on crack or high or something even though I don't do drugs but it just felt like I wasn't there.

My body was there but my mind was elsewhere... daydreaming and floating off into the clouds somewhere...

In that moment, I knew that I was in the wrong role.

I really shouldn't be here.
I really don't want to be here.

I have no interest in the work I do anymore.

It's been two years.
It's about damn time I moved on.

What else do I have going for me?

I gotta get outta here.
I gotta escape.

Peace.

Funny Observation

It's funny that when the manager turns her back, everyone talks a mile a minute. None of it work related of course but as soon as the manager walks back into the building, even when it's only a small break from her own training, silence washes over each and every one of us.

It's all about power yo...

The Countdown Continues

So close yet so far... Seriously can't wait for this one. I'm hearing all good review. Can't wait to hold it and hear it with my own ears. None of this leaked bullshit



//Update: The date shown above is for the US release date. Australian release date is September 18! Go out and grab it!! A few extra days of patience...

Father's Day

Just wanted to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day although I know he'll never come across this blog but at least everyone else will know how I feel about him.

I love him. Simply put.
Despite all the shit that we've gone through, especially in the past year... my love for him will always sbe there. I try not to take the time we have together for granted. And I know when I ask for something and he says 'no', he's just doing what he thinks is best for me.
So I'm glad to have someone in my life who is still 'protective' of me no matter how much I complain about not having any freedom hehe

I wrote a piece about him on one of my old blogs (the site no longer exists -- sorry!).. appropriately titled 'Father'. It was a bit negative, but after writing it, things started getting better between us so I'm glad I got my thoughts out and wrote it at the time that I did.

And although he may not know it... when my parents get invited to a wedding and my mum can't make it, I'll volunteer to go with him because I want to. Getting dressed up is only the small part about it. I never know the couple getting married but I like just spending that daddy-daughter time with him. We joke around and talk about stuff that I would never usually talk to him about - even at home when the rest of the family is present. Kinda wierd but that's the way it's always been.

I've never been close to my family.
On the outside, it's all a facade.
Inside the house, there are so many layers that no-one knows about.

Give your dad a hug today and tell him you love him yo! :)

Peace.

Acclaim Magazine Launch

The magazine of Melbourne's urban culture - Acclaim - will be launching its 17th issue at Fresh In in Darlinghurst this Friday night.

[Fresh In is located at: 17A Langley Street, Darlinghurst, NSW 2010]

If you're free on the night after work at about 6pm then come on down.

This is the event where I can finally say, 'come one come all', coz this is one event that you don't want to miss out on.

As a special treat, two of my mates from Uni - KC & Prince - will be spinning tracks on the night, as well as regular DJ for Fresh In events, Senyo.

For those who drink, there will be free alcohol, and for those who don't, there will be free Red Bull, so we all can get our buzz on and rage! :)

Check it out:

Peace out,
