where its at

Well these last few months have been from one extreme to the other. I have taken on so many projects its hard to keep up. Im a man of copious ambitions, with a great inability to see the job finished before Im on with the next. Its surprising. Im an ideas man. A thinker, not a do-er? Errr, let me tell you about them.
Firstly I have tried to leave my job twice. First time I told the boss I was leaving eventually to go back to school. The response I got was, well....why dont you fuck off now? (not in those words) Being cocky I thought it was sweet so I get get on with finding another job and find the right course I want. My plan B`s quickly failed and I found myself nearing my last day of work. Not only last day of work but no company car, no money to fall back on and not enough food to last a week. Jasmine was not liking the sound of this, actually she called me a dickhead more times that week than any other and that is saying alot! On the 11th hour as someone else was lined up to take over my job the boss had a minor freakout and promised a merger with another company if I stayed on. That for me was as good as a new job. So I pretended like it was a good business idea whilst silently removing the shit stains from potential unemployment. That scares me. I have worked since before I was 16 and have done almost ever since. I applied for centrelink once, and once only. They put me through so much horse shit I found it easier to get an actual job.
Actually, ignore most of that. Some monumental things have happened, here they are in shorthand.

1; Tried to leave work = didnt happen = long story but for now its all good
2; Started a Documentary on Maurice Frawley - still working on it
3; Olly and I now lease a warehouse in Black st, Brunswick
Its pretty fucking choice and in an awesome spot. Heaps of shit really close. We are in the middle of soundproofing it for studio/rehearsal room type deal. Good things coming. Parties, recordings, film clips, you name it. So far it will be called Brunswick stew or Vegetable Stewdio
4; booked oneway tickets for Jasmine and I to Singapore. March 2011.
The plan is to take the train up through Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and into Vietnam. Im pretty keen to get into Vietnam to get my Pho soup on, and faux suit on. I want to go for months and hopefully into China and Tibet but Jasmine isnt so keen. We will see how the cash flow is at the time.

So take my advice. Eat delicious food and travel the world doing it. Those things you always thought of doing, just start doing them, even if you dont finish them.
Ciao for now.

Things that are shitting me as of late:
Some beiber kid I know nothing about
Glee - Ive never actually seen this show but saw a billboard once and have hated it ever since.
Winters lurking coldness- fuck I hate you
Toilet troubles - not me personally but living in a house with plumbing that constantly shits itself  (pun absolutely intended)
Waiting for this holiday - I only booked it a few days ago but just cant wait.
Throwing away old food from the fridge - It just makes me feel to wasteful but then when you leave it things just get worse. 
Matt Preston - no explanation needed.
Season 8 of Shameless wont be out until next year.
Typing this blog when I feel I have none much interesting to say.
