The Music's alter egos?
Alrighty got woken up at about frikin 7:30am cos work called about three times and I managed to avoid them until Javed (aka dum bro) answered the phone and GAVE IT TO ME! After sum awkward moments and a crappy excuse I managed to get out of a shift tonight and I await tomorrow's wake up mayhem. Hmmm let's see went wandering in the city today hey everyone there's like a weird sale goin on in Market City go check that out, if your looking for hello kitty cushions and weird squishy toys this is the sale for ya!

Went to the darling of harbours and had the maddest burger ever whilst listening to Jaca and Grant's conversation via mobile (nuthin too exciting there). We then got back to the local shopping centre to avoid my mother from buying a dodgy tv + dvd/vcr/cd/mp3/whatever the hell else you can stuff into one appliance and she tricked me into buying her food and cosmetics (motherly talents). She also picked up my Incubus ticket wahay! Argh lead singer from Sevendust cut off his dreads! Why god why!

Picked up the Drum from HMV there's sumtin for everyone this month on the music front including some recent trend with artists goin off and doing their own thing under an alter ego (we know it's you!).

Dave Grohl Lead singer of the Foo Fighters has released his own album Probot which has a whole heap of other artists(doesn't mean it'll be any good!) note Max Cavalera from Soulfly/Sepultra is on it.

Moby has released an album called baby monkey under is alter ego Voodoo Child the more dancey part of himself so watch out for that.

For all you idol freaks Levi will be performing at The Embassy in Double Bay next Saturday the 27th.

Pink's having a presale for her tour for all non ticketek members, become one it's free for christ sake! Starting on Tuesday 24th Feb finishes thursday tickets on public sale friday and Pete Murray is on sale now along with the Cat Empire.

Theres a dance party called Utopia which will be hosted by powerhouse for you techno, dancey, party ppl which will include Dj Pee Wee Ferris, Bexta. Matrix, MC Losty, Weaver, Nik Fish and Nervous, on sale now.

Last but not least the annual blues and roots festival, Bluesfest will be kicking off at Red Devil Park Byron Bay From April the 8th, that'll include The Cat Empire (who are doin some solo shows around sydney) the John Butler Trio, The Waifs and Micheal Franti and the Spearheads oh and Legend James Brown (also doing solo shows).

Note: Ticketek has been kicked to the curb by Sydney Ent Centre, ticketmaster7 deal with all their events now so if your worried about why your fav act doesn't seem to be performing here I suggest u go check out ticketmaster's website. Events at the hordern and enmore etc are still through ticketek tho.

If anyone needs me tomoz I'm out with Jinny all day then down to souths for drinks n pool seeya!

Javeds Bday/ The Sega Revolution
Well its my brothers birthday today and he's taken all my money and dragged my ass around the shopping centre buying stuff. I was at Big W when I found Sonic Heroes, Sonic the hedgehogs debut onto the Playstation 2 platform! Never thought I'd see that, we then ran into my good friend buddha who works at Eb Games and were told that Sonic Heroes is now available on Dreamcast, X-Box and PS2. Looks like Sega's collapse has led us into a Sonic Revolution, no more using sonic as an asset to owning a sega system! If only they could do the same for good ole wonderboy!

The whole Sega collapse was then explained: apparently those who create the games for the console are isolated from those who actually build the consoles and when those that built the Dreamcast announced that they are no longer making the mega drives, the people that make the games had actually made 50 or so games for the console, Ouch! No wonder there was an uproar, at least Sonic emerged unharmed.

Anyways latest news, I didn't get the job with CBA which is alright it seemed a little depressing. The only thing that gets to me is the fact that the Interviewer PH didn't inform me nor did DG. The only one who told me was Nat. I dunno about you but I do believe thats discourteous and unprofessional especially since I was told I'd get a call before or on wednesday and they knew my work was on standby in case I got the job. If I don't get a call by 5pm today an angry email will be sent. Congrats to rickie for getting the position go rickie! go rickie!

I'm thinking bout my bday I wouldn't mind a G-Con2 gun for the PS2 it comes with Time Crisis 3 for just $129.95 hint hint. By the way not a good idea to go into a games store and ask to buy a gun without specifying what for, just try to avoid arrest kids!

If anyone wants to know where the hell I am tonight I'll be at Gourmet King stuffing myself on ribs and pizza, octopus salad oh yeh!

Weird African Conga Man
Alrighty here's a story for ya from sat night. I got dragged down to the Regent Hotel in Kingsford with the promise of some fantastic $4 Nachos and a round of pool. Our little group consisted of me, jaca and her sister lela. Anyways we get there and I shout the round of drinks and we're sitting there talking about Jaca's valentine date with a person I shall state as Ooder.

This guy comes up to us and asks if we want to play pool and he'd be happy to teach us if we dunno how to play (how thoughtful :p), we quickly send him away in the politest way we know. Then another guy comes up to us, he's south african he has bongos under one arm (bongos-african drums) and is wearing a british police mans hat with badges stuck all over it. His hair is braided with threads all through it and he's wearing a really colourful shirt.

Anyways he sits down with us and offers the bongos around (real chick magnet those things) and invites his friends over, we're like uh oh and this white reggae looking fella and this african dread locked guy come over and we decide alright we'll talk to em. So we do they're nice guys, they go to uni, one's a drummer etc we play some pool then go to leave, this is where it gets interesting.

We go to the ladies toilets and start talking about them. Jaca and I are goin on about how cute the white guy is (Alisdair) cept he has a girl and jaca said some stupid things about how my eyes sparkle when I talk to ppl I like, which lead to comments on shiny objects "sparkle!" and how freaky conga man is.Suddenly we hear a loud cough outside the bathroom door, the dialogue is as follows:

"Oh shit! That sounds like that conga dude!"
"Omg have they been listening the whole time? What do we do!"
"Omg I'll call steve to come save us!" (Lela's boyf)
"Yes and what shall we tell him hey steve come save us from the Regent Hotel bathroom?"
"Maybe we can go up through the air vent, u think they're still outside?"
"K we'll go out on the count of four and run for it, check for a clear coast"
"Is that before four or after three?"
"What!ROFL After three ready? One two three!"

Jaca opens the door and SCREAMS so loudly cos conga man AND his friends are just standing there looking at us! We just turned ran for the exit LOL, Lela stopped long enough for Conga man to hand her his number oh lala, dun tell steve lol.That was so embarassing I think they heard everything,and I got Alisdair's number too, I'm supposed to contact him about Tabla Lessons, maybe in a coupla years....

Still waiting for the dreaded phone call about the interview I went for, my only consolation the fact that at least one of the two people who interviewed me seemed to like me :( The guy that runs the place we shall name him PH seems a little too much like Dicko whilst the other guy whom I'll be teaming up with DG seems a lot like Marcia LOL. I think I did ok but I wouldn't hold my breath PH asked a lot of tricky, irrelevant questions and seemed really smug and condescending. DG on the other hand was very kind and understanding I feel sorry that he has to work under such a man.

Well I got my ass up at 8:30am on Friday morning to anxiously book my Incubus tickets I'm in the mosh yay! I also nicked mum's credit card to book my Sevendust ticket (the bro and I are goin) that mosh will be a killer crush for sure! Jaca (my best friend) dragged me to a Thrice concert which I thought was crap including the support acts Hot Water Special, The Nation Blue and Alkaline Trio. My list of injuries from that day include:

A gash on my arm from the wire fence on the way to the bus stop

Trodden on feet

Kicked in the head twice by crowd surfers

Punched in the back by psychotic moshers

I also got my leg humped by some stoned fella (thats another story...)

And I think my gash got infected by the sweat rolling off everyone else, mmmm salty :P

Jaca was a bit pissed off by the fact that they CHANGED THE LEAD SINGER OF THE BAND! Either that or he got bald and huge real quick, so I didn't even have anything to perve on damn them, these punk rock guys are so old! 34yr olds playing to 18yr olds! Hello! What the hell is goin on with that!

New Site!
Hey guys welcome to my new site! It's pretty crappy cos I couldn't be bothered getting a domain name or doin the programming. I'll be putting heaps of stuff up here like games and poetry and music (space willing) and you'll be able to read whats goin on wit me cos I know we all got busy lives. Post me some comments so I know whats goin on with you guys too. Well I got an interview with the CBA yay! Many thanx goes out to Nat for giving me this opportunity fingers crossed all goes well. I've started a band we got a couple of songs underway if they get anywhere you'll be able to download them from here. I'll try and keep the site updated as much as possible but no guarantees!
