Late, wet and wedgied

I'm late, it's raining, i'm wet, I'm in a packed train and have an atomic wedgie... I detest wet weather traffic, driving safe doesn't mean driving stupid... Sucks how the traffic conditions worsen exponentially when pitted against increasing rain levels. Why do they not switch on the aircon in trains on wet days? They know we're damp and muggy... Faggotism I guess. Oh man I hate these jeans, they promote wedgies... I hate wedgies... Couple that with a packed damp train, I think I'm going to turn the tables and smile and laugh... Haha epic fail days for the loss... Finance has been tainted by some sort if faggotism as well... Ended last month less than 2k in debt, ended this month in 2.6k... THAT is faggotism haha...alas, I am far from throwing in any kind of towel, just having a rant is all... Did you know that last time it rained I openly swore at the weather?! Haha and it was topbof my lungs kinda thing, might have written about it
actually. Right shoulder and back is going spazzo as well... Damn I'm late... Haha let's see if I can smile and at least sum1 elses day just that little bit more pleasant...

Comics, films, and AWD drift

Hello and good morning! What a thoroughly enjoyable weekend! Had such an epic meeting on Saturday with Dane in producing the graphic novel! So we moved into storyboarding, oh man we got some killer slide for the novel at the moment... Too bad it was cut short coz he had to go do stuff... But we met later on in the day to catch Watchmen... FAROUT!!! That movie kicked so much arse that even Colonel Guile would be struggling to keep up! I knew that Critics either highly rated that movie or highly floored it... I was kinda worried going in to see it as I hadn't been such a follower of the original graphic novel, but I payed due diligence in reading up on it and doing research on it a while ago before the movie was released... WELL payed off! That was by far one of the most full, layered and thoughtful movies I've seen in a long long time! Superb! For those of you who plan to watch it, I recommend you do some background reading on the watchmen story and characters, all can be found on wikipedia.

Sunday, I spooled out to Oran Park raceway in another production assist role at superlap... A drool-worthy contest of Australia's fastest time attack cars (meaning that they're Jap!!!). Heaps of photo's can be caught HERE! Oh man I got to sit shotgun in an R34 GTR!!! That light blue one GTR088... It belonged to Dom and it was QUICK as a sting!! That thing had no problem lighting up all 4 wheels (GTR's are AWD)... He was telling me there's 4 levels of hecticness they tune the car to, and that on that day it was set to level 2... Enough to break loose but still be in control... Oh man it was EPIC!!! I got to rub shoulders with owner, mechanics, drivers and workshoppers who build australia's fastest street and time attack cars. I even chased and R35 GTR and caught up to it on foot! Hahaha it was driving away with one of Andrews camera's... 400kw in these legs man! So epic day, thoroughly enjoyed, am looking forward to getting trained so I can be more involved with camera setting up and running (which also means getting payed).

I got to ride shotgun in this thing!

And I caught up to this thing on foot!
This thing was WEAPON

Tilton Interiors Evolution was off the hook!

This goes out to Brent

Hahahaha so Brent and I have been talking on SMS and email since Monday... We were supposed to have lunch with Biggie, Che, Eugene and Peter at Vanessa's workplace (she works at the food level of the GPO)... Anyways we obviously talk about cars lots seeying he's rebuilding his car AKA the Gypsie coz of the curse that follows it! It's blown 5 motors and has been running for 18 months of the years that Brent has owned it hahaha. With the stuff going into his car I've told him that it's more beast than machine now hahaha How funny because the thing pretty much contains his blood seeing how much it cuts him everytime he puts his hands to it...

Odd isn't it, how our car's become like our own... Made up metaphorically and to a degree, literally with our own blood, sweat and tears... It's not dissimilar to the dragon from Beowulf... Half man... Half Angelina Jolie (grins)... They certainly are entities of the Netherwold... Succubii who drain us of our blood, wild beasts who prey on our flesh, oh how many a knuckle skin I have lost to the preying of my Netherworld mistress... The Gypsie must be satisfied by constant blood offerings, vampires by the trickling of our blood, beasts by the quiver of our flesh... My beast demands my sick love and affection, my undivided attention, sadistic and twisted, much like Akito Sohma... They suck our life essence and eat us out of house, home and sanity leaving us a writhing mess of defeated men... Alas, we'll always come crawling back to this place... For want of such a wild and seductive world...

Fruits Basket is warming up!

Haven't posted so must most... Hahaha Fruits Basket just got really interesting! Volume 17 and some BIG secrets have been let out about the Sohma family... Woohoo, can't wait to go training today so I can read! Hahaha I have a good 10 minute walk from the station to my dojo so I just read the whole way, I look up once in a while to make sure I'm not lost! I wanna say so much about it, but to then I don't wanna be a wet blanket! And check this out, I've never been able to keep up with series, not even a single season of Heroes! And Here I am on volume 17 of a comic!

I'm gonna be grading tomorrow, Double grading for the win! I hope I have the stamina to keep up... Oorah... So from green, I'm skipping blue and onto purple... I'm kinda looking forward to the sparring, I think I've been adding a bit of edge to sparring lately, non-contact sparring is as homosexual as aids (taken straight out of the forums hahaha), but I been making it intersting by blocking my opponents attacks and countering with freakishly close blows instead of just hopping and flopping my legs about like a doll... Hahaha last time when I was sparring against 3 opponets, I even grappled at them, threw them at one another and grappled one oppenent and brought him to the ground... Wanna keep this interesting, gay martial arts ftl...

I been modelling a 180sx in Maya during work hours... I need to get a portfolio happening, but I'm soo lazy... Even at work I just forum trawl all day... How on Earth do I become a Saiyan in this area?

I'm gonna be going to Superlap at Oran Park on Sunday to help Andrew out with more media stuff... Hahaha I just got a phone call from Anf Bilic saying hi... Will be hanging out with him on Sunday

Feeling emo

Hahaha I started writing a post on boredom... But gave up... Too emo to continue... I think I'm PMS'ing this month lol...

Let's go to America

EDIT

I'm a lazy SOB... I'm a talented crazy cat in many things I do, but I have no heart, I don't know hard work, I don't know discipline... I'm good by birth, not by work... It's horrible... I don't know how to get heart... How does one gain heart? It's almost like a given quality, u either have it, or you don't... I'm a good fighter coz I have an uncanny ability beat ppl up, not because I want to win... Metaphorically translates into so many other areas... Who can help me? God is silent...

Following on with my finance

Hello again, I thought that this event deserves it's own post. I'm really excited this month. I mean, really, really excited...(!!!)... So a few posts back I had a post called no such thing as my money ... Well this is like a continuation of that showing what's happened between the start of this quest and now... Disclaimer is that all glory goes to God for Jesus is working in my life in answer to a prayer for wisdom and breakthrough in the area of my finance and the way I see and therefore handle it. What I present here is an astoundingly stark contrast in behaviour in comparison to the last three years of my earning life.

So the background is I am in a credit card debt, and am payed by work monthly, I usually blow my cash on the most unbeknownst things. You would think such a liberal spender would be in possession of nice things and be quite comfortable... No... My reality is very different from that picture. You see, without Jesus taking the blame for my evil, I am a horrific spender, I have a very unhealthy attitude towards finance... After push had come to shove (I stongly advise you read no such thing as my money) I finally gave up and sought God for a solution. It's funny how we only seem to seek God in the 11th hour.

So on the 27th of February, 7 days after getting payed... I'm down to $200.82... Where did my money go? My tithe, some bills, some debt, to my parents, some food here and there, and then I notice I'm down to the last $200... 1 week after getting payed... With an another 3 weeks to go before getting payed. With this $200, I'm expected to pay $36 a week for train fare, $70 a fortnight for fuel in the car, food for whenever I may need it, and any other general expenses including a triple birthday party taking place this past Saturday. Things weren't looking good. And to kick start that week off, I met with a friend for dinner to discuss some important issues... But nevertheless, I purposefully and faithfully trusted in God, committing to all the things that I had said I would, and trying to be as best a steward as one could ever ask to be... So I want you to take a guess... Take a guess on how much yout think I currently have left in my account today... Two and a half weeks on from being on my last $200... Guessed yet? Really... Take a guess... After you have... Read on



So moving on, this last two and a half weeks, do you know what's happened with the finances God has left me in charge with? Like with the good stewards in Mark 25 the parable of the talents... They multiplied! Don't believe me? I'll show you a statement! Of course I had to get to work on my finances, but considering I'm not to be payed until this Friday, I think this is fantastic! And praise to the Lord our God!
So the numbers are there... From $200.82... to $802.95! Thank you Jesus! So how did it happen you may ask? Well it was simply this... I stuck to my convictions and my foundations, knowing that although God wanted to bless me with finance, I needed to say and do something for that to happen, so I went about cashing in on things like petty cash on the 3rd, selling my foglights on the 4th, selling my camber arms on the 10th, selling my blowoff valve on the 13th, and depositing all the coins I could find in my bedroom on the 16th... I payed my train fare last week also through some coins I had found throughout my bedroom and filled up only with what I needed on the 16th to last me until tonight so that I have reduced petrol prices for it being Tuesday. Remembering also that I paid upfront $237 from my CC for Eug, Pete and Ray's birthday gifts so that will be coming out of my savings pretty soon. I've also cashed in on my E-toll rebate statement but that hasn't yet come through. THIS is why I'm excited this month. My account statement has never showed this kind of behaviour before.

I pray and believe that this attitude keeps up and that my mind becomes renewed to the world of finance and takes on the form and shape that God intended for me to live by. I really hope that this pleases God and can't wait to see what the next month holds. Looks like Japan is getting closer and closer withing reach after every dollar!

This goes out to Jesus.

Fantabular meeting with my teachers!

Hi blog!
So I took a day of leave from work yesterday and headed into TAFE to visit Vincent my old 3D teacher, hahaha man was it good seeing him or what! Also got to see Eric Knight, my old graphics and flash animation teacher, and David Perez, the old tech guy... Was amazing to see em all after more than 4 years! It's funny what I remembered while walking through those halls, ahhaa the ground still squeaks on that little ramp on the floor heading towards D101 (The 3D animation classroom). The smells of that corridoor, ahhh... Memories easily forgotten, but not easily unrecognised. What a great catch-up it was, talking about our experiences and observations on TB and the 3D animation industry... In short, it was as I was leading to believe... TB is crap, the place treats it's employees badly, it burns young prospective artists and is full of itself. It's time to forget past offences, and not hold the offence to the current industry... I got dealt a rotten egg, it doesn't mean the whole hatchery is rotten. Hai... sou desu ne... SO! I've got to work on another reel! I will attempt to get in contact with recruitment agents (maybe Khang's one who understands how shibba TB is!). Names I must remember are The lab, Ambience, flying Bark, Animalogic, Plastic Wax... Stick with the big names Eric says!

Was fun having lunch with the guys too, we got to talking geek talk hahaha, about memory allocation code, the whims of Microsoft, and about old school original programmers who used to program off punch card systems hahaha!! Old school programmers who diss out anyone who calls themselves a programmer today ftw! So programmers are born, not made aye? Vince and Dave are most definitely the coolest geeks I know... David's into boxing, and Vince is a 3D artist/compositor/teacher! Hahahaha...




So we have 1. The corridor leading up to D101 The 3d room 2. The corridor off D101 3. The cafeteria 4. The 3d animation staff room 5. D101

Actually, in pic 1. Where I'm standing is pretty much the position where the floor squeaks as u walk past hahahaha.... Man that place brings back alot of memories, I can't believe its been so many years... It's eerie.
