so its been nearly a month since i last updated this
i'm forgetful

shit at JB has been full on
christmas time + retail fucking sucks
but whatever, job is actual easy and fun, just the occasional shithead really

i've been putting off this entry cos i intended it to be just work i've done recently and i've been lazy and putting it off, but it will have some of that plus some other bullshit i feel like writing down

so since the last update i have done this:


for a girls tee


her nightmare tee for the final tour
this might have ended up on a black tee, not sure


for the bt/btbam tour


for the most recent aus tour

there were a few more DN tees and some posters in there but these 4 were my favourites

in 2 weeks i'm heading down to melbourne and to adelaide with Dead Kings on whats now a really broken up and segmented ~tour~ with Shinto. the first lot of dates are the 8th, 9th and 10th and then it doesn't pick up again till the 24th but whatever. it'll be fun.
on the 8th is a show at Next in Melbourne, i've never been and i hear the place is god awful (much like Bang) but i have a soft spot for shitty clubs i can dance in.
I'm mostly siked for these shows because I want people to see Dead Kings. Not just because they're my friends but i honestly get really fucking siked every time i see them and i think they have soo much potential. They've been getting great reactions just from touring bands that come through canberra so it's gonna rule seeing how people like them in other states and shit. I think this is the beginning of a really good thing and I am that fucking siked.

these are the shows except Ire (ex-Mindsnare, Hitlist, Within Blood, Meatlocker etc) are playing the melbourne date on the 10th now and I am so keen to see them.



also recently i've started weights training with Rob and I am so keen. Gonna get massive.

Other than that, today's Christmas and it's been relaxed as fuck. Went to Tupac house and chilled, shot some nerf gun a bit and watched scrubs, ate heaps today and got some cool shit.
Working tomorrow, earning $40 an hour so i'm aight with it even though it's boxing day sales and everyone is gonna be mental.

That's about all
Pretty stoked with life at the moment, whole lot of travelling coming up
good friends
everything rules

also saw The Acacia Strain the other week and they were the heaviest band in existance. All expectations were exceeded.

Peace xo

the past few weeks i've been booking a tour for shinto katana from sydney and dead kings from canberra
this is my first real effort at booking shows outside of canberra and it's been pretty sweet
cam at destroy all lines has been the hugest help and he gives me faith that there are actually some genuinely good people out there
been doing canberra shows for him and DAL for a few months now and any trouble we've hit he's helped us work out solutions and just been generally cool about everything
same goes with booking these tour dates, just been a straight up dude

i'm really excited for these shows

at the moment i'm drawing a picture of a heavily tattooed girl for a deez nuts shirt
it's going to be the girl shirt counterpart to the gonz shirt i did a couple months back
so far i have the girl drawn and a few of her tattoos, tomorrow morning i'm going to finish her arm and all the details and then scan it in and fix it up
i'm real siked on how its going so far

hopefully next week i'll get around to posting some of the work i've done recently
in the meantime, sleep.

rippin

finally i'm the one gettin ripped off hahaha
word is, pilks gave this shirt to all the ghost inside dudes, they went back to the states and have just done a mini tour with death before dishonour
and then this happened..




rulin
hahaha

fortune cookie says

"People will believe most anything that is whispered to another."

Hate

My heart is made up of equal parts family, friends, art and music.
There is no place in my heart for a romantic love.
To let in a single person that is capable of everything that it is to be human is to compromise the rest.
I have no need for love of that kind when i have family.
Though they are capable of all the same things, I forgive them for all the beauty they have provided me.

Love for a few, hatred for the rest.

I'm a walking contradiction.
.


Destroy the morality none have known for so long if ever at all
And I would lay down my life to birth a new generation of a righteous culture.
To a people I could proudly love and cherish.
For that's all I've ever asked for and been deprived of.

these two records have been ruling my head lately..



death is such a horrible thing
my deepest condolences go out to all friends and family
and i hope sam is okay
i'm going to go see him tomorrow

xo
