>>> I wished...

... upon a falling star.

I really did. Saw a fiery streak cross the clear night sky on the way back from the station around midnight. The sight of such clear sky is truly amazing, and absolutely gorgeous to behold. *dreamy sigh* The child within keeps chanting "I saw a shooting star, I saw a shooting star!" over and over again. Now, please keep in mind that I have NEVER seen one before in my life and that I've only read about them, therefore dismissing any thought of one to the darkest realms of myth and jaded disbelief; so, thus my sheer delight in seeing one. Hopefully it also signifies that my run of luck will get better. I hope.

Yet, then again, it's a thing that flies across the heavens, possibly either burning out, crashing to the surface of some remote planet or flaming out in the atmospheric entry of a planetoid, so why do we annotate a change of luck or the granting of wishes to such a phenomenon? Superstitions so ingrained into our psyches that even when faced with the cold, hard, banal facts, we hope for the even the most remote flights of fantasy to be true or believe to be true. *shrug* How hopeless is humanity? How hopelessly optimistic? Or are we just unrealistic, hoping that everything works out for the best?

Going back to the subject of stars, I think and believe that I'll always have stars incorporated into my tattooes. And yet, I've not dreamed of being an astronaut, not even once. I guess that I'm just in awe of them, and maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep down inside my spiritual self, I still believe the old myths and stories about the stars.

And I really need to find out where I can watch the movie Stardust here, and soon. Before it ends its run here, that is. Hopefully I can rope some people into watching it with me when I find it.

Wish me luck...

... especially when you see a shooting star.

>>> It's Summer...

... so why is it so freaking cold!?

Bleah. It's been raining off and on for the last few days, and will continue to do so until the end of the week. Which basically means that I've been pretty much cooped up at home in Quakers Hill for AGES! Ok, well, not really for ages, but you kinda get the picture.

And it doesn't help in the entertainment department that the comp at home here is on the fethin' fritz: BSOD at the oddest times for starters! Not to mention the recurrence of Firefox Failure [F3] which pretty much screws up my entire surfing pleasures. Cripes. But it's all good, I have other things to do, too.

Like what, you may ask? Well, if you mosey down to my dA Site, you'll see that I've been rather productive in the art field. LOL. For example, have a look at what I did to my one of my best buds' headphones which he loaned me, which is also displayed in my dA gallery. *grin* [Yes, yes, shameless self-plugging, no matter how wrong that sounds!]

Speaking of art, how's about some body art? Namely tattooes! Yes, I've been watching way too many episodes of Miami Ink on cable [Discovery Travel!?], and I now really want to get a tattoo to commemorate my SOLO trip to Sydney [Australia]. But I have no idea what to get done, especially with my limited budget. However, I do know where I might like to get it done: either my right lower forearm on the underside OR on on the left side of my left lower leg. Decisions, decisions. *sigh* Any suggestions, mes ami? Oh, and I finally got a picture of my first tattoo [before the Über fade!], let me put it up here...



... Maybe I should use the fan/gift art of the Smoking Girl that my friend Marjak had sketched up for me as a tattoo on my left lower leg. With perhaps the addition of the Silent Strider glyph as a bottom/base and maybe the southern cross arrangement of stars trailing downwards from the glyph's underside? *chuckles* Seems like I already have the idea, now to find out how much it will cost me! I think I'm going to have to ask LOIDZ, who works down at Manly in a tattoo parlour. I can but hope and pray that he can help me out. *prays fervently*

Thank god for cable television! Thanks to it, I've watched more movies in the last few weeks than I've ever watched in the last THREE years! Seriously. I've even watched movies that I wasn't able to watch in the theaters or on disc or off downloads. Movies like The Siege, Up Periscope, Night Watch and so many more that it's almost like a blur. Wow~...

And Christine Akka is so nice and everything, it really does feel like we've known each other for ages even though I met her for the very first time in my life. And to explain, she's my mother's "adopted" daughter. Who doesn't want a fun-loving, willing-to-spoil-and-indulge-the-younger-brother elder sister, huh? I mean, seriously, who wouldn't? Ok, mebbe I'm the only one, but after being the older brother for so long... well, it's nice to be the younger one for once. *happy sigh* And she lets me hang out at her house, allowing me almost free rein. Not to mention that there's a skate park pretty close by, so it's all good! I LOVE MY SISTER!!! *grin* And not in an incestuous way, get your minds outta the gutters, dammit!

And speaking of sisters... I'm finally chatting with Caity again. *another happy sigh* I've missed her terribly, she's one of my favourite younger sisters. And also a tattoo nutter like myself... we love 'em! Unfortunately for me, she has more tatts than me at the moment. Something I hope to rectify sooner or later. HAHA!!

I have no idea how right this is, but I kinda just did it for fun after nicking it off of Shaun's blog...

>>> Karma can be such a bitch...

... and like that nut JT said: "What goes around goes around, comes around."

Speaking of Karma, it's like the wheel of time turning and catching you on its steel toe end as it revolves back to get in the arse. Case in point: my blood Twitch got this eartip piercing and it was somehow infected and swelled. Same thing happened to his eyebrow piercing. OWCH! Getting back to the point of karma tho'; I happened to sya that he wasn't built for piercings and the next thing I know, I'm discovering that my eartip piercing was also infected and not healing while hurting like the bloody dickens. But to be noted: this was a couple of weeks later. Sad, what a waste of good piercings. But it also relatively illustrates the idea or concept of Karma and, damn, can She be a bitch. I think that if I did get married, I'll name one of my children Karma. I think I should have a few friends going "OMGWTFBBQ, KAZE, R U OUT OF YOUR MIND!?". Lol. But, seriously, I think Karma would be a really nice name for a girl. I mean, I knew A TEMPERANCE when I was in high school and she was quite hot, y'know!

And, oh my god, it's been ages since I last logged an update. Amazing how much work absorbs your very being and spits you out exhausted, wrung out and socially dead. Purely amazing. Not that I don't enjoy my job, it just, well, takes a lot out of a body. At least my manager supports my external ventures into art, zen and motorcycle maintenance. Hahaha!

So much stuff has been happening of late. I've reconnected with some old friends [RACHEL, DINIE, ESTHER, DJ EZ-KILL! & LYNX among others], my sis FLA is in town for three months, met this pretty cute chick from Mumbai [Bombay, for those who don't know], hooked up with a small rap venture [KZ1, SAVVIOR & J-REEDS/EZ-KILL], grabbed an opportunity for a graffiti production from Alexandra Fire Station, have sheer loads of sketches to do up with have a bunch of ideas and concepts running around in my head at the speed of sound [sorry, MACH2, I know that you usually silent kill at the speed of sound LOL] and while having to work at Spinelli @ Harbourfront. And some other stuff which should NOT be mentioned unless I get permission first. *evil snickering* I know things that you don't know, but do you really want to know?

Anyways, I have to get going eventually as one of my bloods is coming over to borrow a set of my old army technician coveralls to use as a costume for the resurrected Werewolf: the Apocalypse LARP [Live Action Role-Play] that a friend decided to run. And I must say that it's pretty interesting, so far. If anyone is interested, just drop me a line, aiight? *shameless plugging!* C'mon, it'd be fun! 'Sides, I need more smoking khakis [ie. smoking buddies] and friends to kick back with after a session. *grin*

On a last to final note, my first tattoo will be etched upon my wonderfully dusky epidermis at the end of the month, whoohoo! FUCKING FINALLY!!! And this time, mates, I'm NOT just full of air and really am getting it. Check this link and try to figure out which part of the design is going to end up as my very first tatt :: [ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51896590/ ]. After all, I have to catch up to my li'l sister, Caity! She has like five now, and they're like almost everywhere on her body. Okay not really everywhere, but close enough. CAITLIN, PUT DOWN THE DECK, DO NOT HIT ME WITH THAT!!! *sound of a skateboard making a very violent connection with a human skull* Urk~...

LOL. Much love to my li'l sister Caitlin who's all the way over in Canada! *hugz* http://violence-22.deviantart.com
