Phantom Blisstickers

So I got a new job pasting for Phantom, it's pretty badass, I get to drive around town and paste. I start work at 5am {that's the only catch} but working early means finishing early, I really appreciate my afternoons now.

I like my job!

Our vans aren't quite as cool as the one pictured {i.e. no mag wheels} but they are still pretty rad. I've always wanted a Suzuki Carry.

[in other news I went to camp in the weekend and had the best time ever, I'll post about that later {when I get hold of a photo of our chip party}.]

The Night Before

So leaving for camp tomorrow, I'm pretty exited. I made some porridge mix for breakfast so all I have to do is boil water to make porridge. Dove and I are sitting together on our flight up to Wellington, we're sitting right at the back.

I've been practising lots, my set will be full of mistakes I guess that's what people will be expecting though. I wrote a new song which I will, try to, play at camp, it's very romantic.

This weekend is going to be awesome.

Titus Andronicus - Monitor (2010)

So on the PIX board was talk of this amazing band call Titus Andronicus, I had a listen to the album "The Monitor" and was pretty amazed. They're really good with lots of sing alongs and off key vocals, how about you watch the video then have a listen to the album {link below}.

They can be your favourite band and every time you listen to them you'll think of me, unless you play it to the girl of your dreams and she falls madly in love with you, then 2 years down the track you realise she's actually the girl of your nightmares. You then say to yourself "I truly was mad" {mad as a synonym to insane}

"You will always be a loser"

Working in the heat

I spent the day postering for Phantom, it was so hot, I ran out of water and was left sucking the juice from the cucumber I brought for lunch. Later I locked my keys in the car, felt like such an idiot. When I get thirsty I become very absent minded, more so than my normal self. I don't know why I get like that, normally it's pretty rad, my life feels like a dream, but when I do stuff like lock my keys away it annoys me.

Can't wait for the weekend again!

Diablero 7"

So I found this band on Chuglife. Great hardcore! When I first got into hardcore music this was the style I liked the most.

The album art work is a little "metal", I don't fancy it much but the record is great, worth a listen if you like loud music.

Lovely and nostalgic.

¡Dios mío!

So last night I went and saw Coasting and The Sneaks, they were both pretty neat. Later we went home and made tortillas and falafel, both were delicious. We played dice, with only four die which changed the game-play quite a lot, it was lots of fun. Things got a little silly regarding an Australian 10$ note.

¡Dios mío!

I'm watching her drip away

I turn up the heat, make her evaporate

Everyday it gets a little better

Because I know she's got less of a hold

I write for the therapy

Makes my job seem a little less dull

I write for the therapy

Make sure people know I'm doing O.K

I deleted every photo, I tossed out every note

I cleaned my room (a little)

I think I'll do some more

Too many 'I'-s in this poem

Too many girls in this town

Too many girls in this town

Too many girls

I think I'll take my time

But time I'll never get back.
