hairless new entry!

[ listening to cat power - baby doll ]
its been ages! :) thankyou chairman ray for pointing that one out to me. a lot of water has passed under that architecturally designed bridge since the last posting. i travelled to vietnam on a study tour with my university, which turned out to be a truly eye opening experience. i was pushed well and truly out of my comfort zone, experiencing new smell, sights, sounds and tastes.
upon my return (three weeks after) i cut my hair off. i felt after 10 years i needed a change, and after vietnam it seemed more than appropriate considering my view of the world shifted dramatically. a new hair, fresh beginnings. many folk have mentioned that since my return i have been a friendlier person to be around. well too that i shall answer simply it is the hair :)

i'll keep ya posted.

c'mon, you're being very un-dude...

[ listening to kenny rogers and the first edition - what condition my condition was in ]

been doing loads of work lately, having many late nights/early mornings. my mp3's are my saviour. i find that i get extremely incoherent between 11-12, then beyond that i seem to fly. it's a common joke (in parts v true) that my friends and i produce our best work in the deepest darkest hours of the night.

the first design project is v enjoyable however it requires a lot of time to establish and develop a worthy concept. its a great feeling when you get to point where something works, where you know that the ideas are strong enough to pursue them for the remainder of the project.

i love architecture and i look forward to getting paid for what i do one day. :)

curtain,... whoops curtin

[ listening to - the sound of my computer humming ]

i had "o"day at uni today. this means that a new school year begins in less than a week. infact it has already started as we were given a brief to our first design project. i look forward to this year as i see it as posing a great opportunity to expand upon the knowledge i gathered from last year. so i pose to myself this question. what is it shanek that you wish to get out of this year? an interesting question which has been in my mind for the last couple of weeks. i can honestly say that foremost i wish to develop a greater understanding of myself as an individual within the context of my current situation. i also aim to complete the required work to the best of my ability, even if it means sacrificing some things that i enjoy doing eg. relaxing! : ) i can feel myself warming up to a very intense few months, so i wish you all patience and remember that i wont be gone for long!

skip-dee-doo!

[ listening to rtr - drivetime ]

i had to go upto my university this morning. before reaching the campus i decided that i needed to put more freaking petrol into bertha, so i filled her up good. upon entering to pay for this dirty unsustainable resource i witnessed an appauling display from the service station attendant. a woman had entered the service station before myself and was at the counter buying a chocmilk. the service station attendant was utterly rude to this woman and had charged her $4.00 for the chocmilk. before i realised what he had done, the lady had walked from the store. once it had clicked that he had charged her about double the cost of the drink i questioned him as to why he had done this. he gave me a pathetic story that made me want to jump over the counter and shake the living shite out of the dirty f***er.

i have no time for people like this. unfortunately tho i know that these are the people that need to be made aware of what they are doing.



peace and respect.

my hair and the contaminated air

[ listening to rtr - out to lunch ]

i've bin lookin for a new house to live in. it's a bit of shock, everything has happened so fast. basically, a bunch of rich wooly bastards want to develop nearby land that was once a lead smelter and is heavily contaminated with heavy metals. the locals around here dont want this ( www.savesouthbeach.com ) and have created a community group, lead by wonder woman herself, adele carles. anyways, my landlord, whom i share the house with, doesnt know if he is coming or going, which leaves me in a pickle. i ask myself do i wait and see what happens or do i move before uni starts. my greatest concern is that the developers will start work during a school term, and my landlord decides to put the old on the market. i know that this would create even greater stress levels during the semester. i dont think so. so tha deal is either,.. we wait for the results of the court case, hoping that the developers will buckle to the resident concerns, or i move on before uni starts.

jeepers,... lucky i have a friend to keep me company :) pardon my un-shaven-ness.



love ya style!
