hi everyone again

i havent written a journal in a while or really posted anything new, as such dev art is getting a little dull
this year ive been doing a tafe course in building design and bumming around at home, nothing really very interesting.
hardly go out with friends or do anything special, but i have been to quite a few concerts including alexisonfire, saosin, fall out boy and sparta
sparta and alexisonfire were really something special, ive been waiting too see those bands for a long time
i no longer do martial arts, we couldnt support the club anymore so im going to look somewhere else, my dad keeps telling me to continue with tae kwon do and get my black belt which should only take 2 years tops, i want to try out a new martial art now tho compare it to tae kwon do and get fit again but i havent been very proactive in my search for a new club.

my need to go out and photograph has disappeared this year, im still at a loss as to why i no longer want to photograph compared to last year when i couldnt go a week without doing so. i used to look around and continuously try and find any opportunity to take a good photo, these days i hardly ever think about it. i guess i can account this loss to a few things that have changed this year, i no longer have a photography class as i did in high school which was a real push for me to take photos and share with my class and teacher and this course isnt really pushing my creative limits as would happen in high school, theres too much theory and monotonous drawing and little design.

so im sorry i havent posted any new art and i hope some change in my current monotonous and creatively dull lifestyle will invoke a new desire to photograph or do any kind of art

i was listening to this song and it made me want to write that, i have been wanting to for ages now anyway

i think its appropriate

happy endings - something for kate

this town makes my mind slow down
lines in my face like highways now
chasing breezes, kicking boulders
and all of the while just getting older

i leave pieces of paper
pieces of myself along the way
out the window, out the window
and i tell myself that

i'll come back for them before i go
and then i won't sing this song tomorrow

reason calls i'm never listening
there's always something more distracting
and you take everything so seriously
then you leave and burn up on re-entry

for happy endings
all these little victories
gathered up and hung on the wall like trophys
i tell myself that

i've been down this road before
so i won't sing this song anymore

i've been down this road before
so i won't sing this song anymore
i've been down on myself enough before
so i won't sing this song anymore
