So oh yes what did I go and do again last night.. I bought ANOTHER pair of shoes. This is my 3rd shoe purchase This Month! I tell you what, there is no logical reason for my owning so many shoes.
I have a shoe fetish. I love shoes, shoes are the best part of an "outfit" if you will. They make or break an ensemble. I don't need so many pairs of shoes, but I can't help myself when I see a nice pair of kicks. I feel compelled to make them mine. Last night I bought a pair of Black "Kustom" skate shoes. When I walked into the store, they immediately grabbed my attention. They whispered gently in my ear, come closer...closer...closer, hold me, gaze upon my sturdy leather upper and perfectly placed structure. Try me on, you can't resist me. I love them. and they were only $90AUD too which is a bargain, kinda. Anyway, check out this picture I took last night off all my shoes, there are 3 pairs that are not shown in this picture aswell.

I received my MindDrive today all the way from the US of A. I bought it off of ebay.
I have not been able to use it yet because the power plug is USA voltage and so I cant power it. I borrowed an adapter from my friend Phil but that did'nt work cos it was running different voltages. When I plugged it in I noticed a funny smell so turned it off straight away and disconnected from the power socket. I blew my power thingy... AARRRRHHHHHH... Im so impulsive i knew it was different voltages but did it anyway.. Anyway I just hope I didnt blow the actual circuitry of the console itself. :( I am going to get an australian equivalent power source from tandy's or somewhere tommorrow and so I will find out then I suppose. I just wanna use and master this thing Ive wanted for ages now. How does one stop themselves from being so impulsive? Any people out there recovering impulsivites?? let me know how you stopped this hiddeous mind encopassing beast? is there a patch i can wear? Peace im out to go stress over my MindDrive.
I have just finished watching what Is now my new favourite movie. Adaptation. This movie is amazing, go see it. The main message which comes through is "You are what you love, not what loves you". This simple quote in the context of the film blew me away. When I look at the happiest times in my life I realise that It was when I was pursuing things which I love, when in the context of people, it wouldnt even matter if they liked me back. I owned that liking/love, it was my feeling, I did not tailor my feelings to what I thought others thought of me. For some reason I have forgotten this simple truth and fallen to the ways of anticipating say If a person would even want to do something with me instead of feeling and being amped on wanting to do something with another person. I knew when I saw the trailor to this movie that I HAD to see it and now I know why. This is why I love movies. They can change you by showing you things in a different perspective.
Just downloaded the film clip "Ashley Simpson - La la". Not really a fan of Ashley's but this video is so damn spot on its scary. I want to know who created/directed it, because I know I would most probably love anything they have done. The idea with the bright lights in every scene is very innovative. The only thing which I found unbelievable was the group of girls in a bedroom playing tony hawks pro skater...
However, whoever made this video knew exactly to the slightest detail who its intended audience was. Its times like this i wish i could articulate my thoughts and feeling better. The clothes are so NOW, the shoes everything..
Some people get excited about cars, some excited about making things out of popcicle sticks.. spot on video's done this well is what excites me. The song itself sucks, "you can dress me up in diamonds, you can dress me up in dirt"??? The lyrics make no sense, they are mindless dribble. But all is forgiven when you watch the video. I hope one day Im this good at making movies. Go download it NOW!!!
On a side note, while I was searching for the director of this video i came across this pretty kool site of the director "Joseph Kahn", director of the movie "Torque" and music videos of the likes of Britney Spears - Toxic... RAD!!! Its a kool site and well worth a visit.

My BENQ 17" lcd computer monitor arrived today. See pic below. I was expecting it to come with a webcam but it turns out that the webcam was "optional" so Im going to have to buy that seperately. Its pretty nice, I now need to buy a new video card which supports dual monitors so I can use my old monitor and this new one at the same time.
One of my ebay items arrived today. See pic below. It was my Moldavite pendant. It's kool I love it, tied it to a piece of black string to make a necklace type thing. So this stuff is supposed to be good luck and do all this kool stuff like help you think clearer etc. So far Im not sure I can tell if It's doing anything or not. I sorta felt hot around the chest area where it was hanging buts thats about it so far. hehe. meh its a kool necklace type thing nontheless.
Went to see spazzy's last night at Enigma, they were pretty kool, better than i expected them to be.. so Ramones.. boppy, catchy.. wicked drums so yeah. thumbs up. Then went to mojo, then to the best club ever, Shotz. Music was pretty rad, my faves of the night were when they played The Faint - I disappear and Duran Duran - planet earth.. so good.
I hate it tho when im out with people and like i have nothing much to say and so feel disconnected, that bums me out quite a bit. Like I will want to be all happy and fun but just have nothing to say at the time, and I always feel as thought these days I am not picking up new social skills. Its as if my ability to pick up new social skills has stopped, ive reached the cutoff and can learn no more, which is scary because I really need to improve my social skills. I really like people and hanging out and having fun and get energized by connecting and stuff, and I am genuinely interested in what everyones got to say but then I cannot communicate what I want to at the time. Like I will notice someone that I don't know well is feeling uncomfortable and I will want to make them feel more comfortable but just don't really know at the time how to do it. Thats why I need to improve my social skills so I can connect my feelings with the ability to communicate them strongly and effectively. And sometimes I also let my nervousness get the best of me so gotta get around that somehow.
If you are from Adelaide you should know of a local icon by the name of Johnny. Johnny is an eccentric, tall, aboriginal man who's outfits include spandex tights and big white boots.
Anyway so last night I was walking along Hindley street, back to the Enigma bar after withdrawing $50 from my bank account. A moment after I passed 108's strip club I see Johnny standing on the sidewalk, twirling a hoola hoop around his waste. Awesome I think to myself in my head, this would be the best opportunity to get a sweet photo for my moblog. So i walk up to him, smiling, say Hi Johnny hows it going? Hey do you think I could get a photo with you?. No answer, not even a look in my direction. So i repeat again, this time somewhat timidly, hey Johnny do u think I could get a photo with you dude? Still no answer, he didn't even acknowledge my standing there trying to talk to him. Im thinking, man.. did I approach him wrong? Is he trying to tell me something by ignoring me.. so I walked off. I used to think this dude was kool, like he was secretly really smart inside and got off on this shit but then I realised, no this dude's not smart. He's a loser. screw you Johnny your a fag, a snob and I have lost all respect for you, you can't say hi?, Im never gonna smile when I hear or see you again, but instead I'll probably want to throw shit at u. Rejection sucks :(
I have nothing to say today. Its Saturday, going to play tennis with Phil soon which will be kool. I need to excersize more cos Im getting a fat gut. Thats what happens when you sit on your fat ass all day I guess. Phils bringing a portable hard drive with 60Gb of mp3's he got off a guy from his work. Can't wait.
The Michael Jackson trial is on E! at the moment. Bought the Skateboard MAG today.. this mag rules.. I was gonna buy Thrasher but I don't like the newspaper thinness and texture of the pages. I really really wanted to drive around today and go to the city and take photos with my parents Nikon D70 today but Dad has gone to Canberra and taken it with him. I want to get into photography more.. its rad.. I think It will help me when i make movies too because it will help me get better at framing and angles and when u think about it.. a movie is basically just a moving photo. And that's pretty much It. I will post again when I have something to talk about.
