One Day

I wrote this piece a few weeks ago on the way home from class. I don't know why I didn't post it earlier... I supposed it's because certain things happened between then and now that had me switching my mind and deciding not to post it at all. But something interesting happened on Friday and so I went and looked for it and well... here it is. I guess it's true when people say that 'certain things happen when you least expect it'.

There are times when I see you
And I want to say Hi
But often you give me a look
That simply says Goodbye
A look that seems you're looking right through me
I know I've given off mixed vibes
But it's because of what you disclosed to he
Lately I've been dealing with personal shit
I kinda wish you knew...
Coz you were there when things first took its toll
I know now I can't trust many, only a few
A wise woman once told me,
'You should be able to count your true friends on one hand...'
You used to be there
But now you've slipped through like (tiny) grains of sand

You may not believe it
But I do hope we talk again one day
Until that moment,
I don't know what else I can say...

Peace yo.

Hoping

The bout of confidence I was looking for yesterday
Has seemed to disappear within 24 hours

I finished work early today and thought:
'Fuck it - I'm just gonna walk in there and see what happens'.

So I did but the wrong person approached me...
But I stayed conversing anyway...

Hoping
Hoping he would glance over and recognise my smile, my voice
Hoping something would trigger his memory from 'that' night

But I guess nothing did
Coz he didn't walk over

But then again, when the conversation was over,
I felt someone watching me...
... and when I looked up,
He looked away...

What now?

Curious,

Why Can't I Be That Girl?

I wanna find that confidence within me that I had when I was in Melbourne.

I was mysterious

'The girl was in action'

A lot of times I wonder why I cant be that girl in Sydney.

Actually i know why...

I know the answer to my own question but it's stupid:

I'm scared.
Scared of rejection
Scared of conversation
Scared of those awkward silences
Scared of the fact that i know I'll clam up even when no words have been spoken

Anyhow,
Time to drag my sad self to bed now.

Night,

Where The Wild Things Are x Girl Skateboards

Hands up who can't wait for 'Where The Wild Things Are' to hit our screens?? :)

For those who don't know, Where The Wild Things Are is a 1963 children's picture book by American writer Maurice Sendak and was originally published by Harper & Row. The book has recently been adapted into a live-action feature film directed by Spike Jonze.

The film has already been released in the U.S [in mid-October] and won the weekend box office, taking in US$32.5 million. Many critics have noted that the adaptation of the popular's children book is rather dark and may be too scary for children, but older fans of the story will still love the story and concept of the movie.

Unfortunately the movie won't be hitting our Aussie screens until December 3rd and with the release of the movie, you can no doubt expect plenty of merchandise from shirts, hats, posters, the movie soundtrack (fronted by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and her friends), toys, games and plenty of accessories we probably won't need but will still want.

Until we are able to physically watch 'Where The Wild Things Are' at the movies, Girl Skateboards has gained inspiration from the movie and have designed these dope skateboard decks. So for anyone who likes to jump on a skateboard and land some tricks or travel their way into the distance, why not grab yourself one of these?

Damn, it makes me want to learn how to skate!

Be the first to grab your tickets to THE Summer festival of 2010 at http://www.gvf.com.au/ !!

Cudi will be playing the Sydney show on Feb 13 but I am tossing up whether I should watch him play a 20-30min set at this festival or should I wait for announcement of his sideshows and go watch him play all his hit music, and I'm not just talking about music from his debut album.

Although I wouldn't mind going to both... :)

Decisions, decisions.

If anyone hears of his sideshows before I do, please please please hit me up on the comments and let me know!!

Check out his freestyles yo!!

Best news ever,
