Dream Journal #1

It started at a house, in the lounge. There were a few people there, the people i remembered were Sandy, Hamish and Julien. A Xmas tree was situated at the front of the lounge and there was an LG model t.v beside it. Chairs were arranged in a circle facing inwards.

This led me to believe that we were celebrating Xmas, and that we were about to give out presents.

A huge rat was scuttling around the room. It's tail as thick as a sausage. It scared the shit out of me. But someone told me to put my hand up as if i wanted a high five.

I did so, and the rat jumped on it's hind legs and extended it's front paw and high fived me. Very smoothly might i add. It didn't interest me.

It does now, but it didn't in my dream.

We tidied up the house a bit prepared to leave. During this i could hear the owner of the house forming his opinion on why apprenticeships were so bad. I couldn't find the person who was talking. I just heard the voice.

We walk out the door and i give Julien a man hug as we leave. He laughs the way Julien laughs. People who know him will know what i mean.

Ran down Elmslie Road. Why that road, i do not know. Seems strange. Take a shortcut through the school to mine. Run past a group of five people. none of them look up. I get home and my parents were doing some plastering in the kitchen. Two builders were also there. They were complaining about something and i recall them not wanting to use a certain kind of power tool. Not the brand. But the actual tool.

I'm in a mall all of a sudden. It's very large. We are in a group. There are cops chasing us. I do not know the reason but they are very determined to catch us. I was holding a Glock, maybe that had something to do with it...

We ran around the whole mall, trying to get them off our tail. We got to a car park through a door and ran up and down the stairwells. Climbed down a ladder and reached another door leading into the mall. We couldn't get out.

EVERYBODY in the mall looked gangster. They all had bling of some sort and sported baggy pants and XXL T-shirts. Was strange indeed. There were only 3 of us left and we tried to run up an escalator. It was a multi lane escalator. 4 or 5 lanes. Not too sure. But the cops came from above and below. We were trapped.

We slid backwards down the hand rail and knocked some of the police over. Flew off the end of the handrail and into one of those advertisement signs that they have sitting in the middle of the shopping mall where you walk. I must've knocked myself unconscious in the dream or something as i don't remember anything after that. I only remember waking up.

Cirque Du Freak

I'm not sure how many of you have read the series, or anything by Darren Shan for that matter, but hear is some news fresh as of 5min ago.

“Cirque du Freak” by Darren Shan – Movie Announcement

The “Cirque du Freak” series of bestselling children’s novels by Irish author Darren Shan has been acquired by Universal Pictures and will be adapted for a motion picture of the same name. The film is due to begin shooting in February 2008 in New Orleans under the direction of Paul Weitz (About A Boy, In Good Company), and will star John C. Reilly (Gangs of New York, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) as Larten Crepsley; Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia) as Steve Leonard; and newcomer Chris Kelly as Darren Shan. Weitz is adapting some of the storylines from the novels for the screen. He and Lauren Shuler Donner (X-Men) will produce for their production companies, Depth of Field and The Donner's Company.

Should be good. Hopefully they don't screw it up. It has the potential to be awesome.

Premature. Just Like Somebody Else I Know...

That was worthy of its own post.

Something Different

Hmm so i've been thinking of doing something different.

Seeing as i've been having a few crazy dreams lately i've decided that i'm going to be blogging the dreams that i've had.

I dream much easier when i have a fan blowing in my room as the air stimulates my face when i sleep and i seem to dream easier. I also have a unruled notepad that i write my experiences on immediately after i have awoken from my dream. Doing this makes it easier for me to recall what has happened without getting the order mixed up and forgetting certain events etc.

I think it could be amusing. The dream i had last night was pretty weird. No way near my weirdest but was still strange.

I'll call this - My Dream Journal.

Will post about the dream i had last night a but later on. For now though...

School is over and i only have exams to look forward too. Once they are done i am free to do as i want. Really need a job. But now that it's holidays i really just want to be lazy and relax.

Learnt Supermassive Black Hole and Starlight on bass last night. It's funny cause' i don't have a fuzz pedal but because my amp is so shit, when i turn it up full and play it fuzz's anyway. Sounds very similar which is pretty good.

BUT CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!

Fuck Me...

So the Gamespot Crysis review has been released.

9.5/10

THIS is the motivation behind me now finding a job. I WILL find one and i shall make money!

This quote sums it up. "Crysis is easily one of the best shooters ever made."

Watch the video to understand.



In other social news...

Nothing really, school and such has been all that i have been involved in lately.

Installed Ubuntu the other day. But upon installation, GRUB, which i believe is the program used to boot Ubuntu, installed over the Windows XP Master Boot Record. So i faced a dilemma. I could not boot XP any longer. Fuck.

So i thought it would be an easy fix of obtaining the install disk off Sascha and then running the recovery console and typing 'fixmbr' to restore the MBR. However that did not work.

So i just did a fresh install. Which i was gonna do anyway in a few weeks...

But now for some reason i cannot install Photoshop. The setup runs then says the system is "not modified to run the installation".

Fuck you, yes it is. So i gave up and downloaded CS3. That did not work either. Mother fucker.

Oh well i'll figure it out sometime when i can actually be bothered.

I want to overclock my CPU again sometime. I've been doing a bit more research and found that i can get my e6400 to almost 3.2ghz on stock cooling. Although i would be happy with a 2.8ghz overclock.

Shall be something to do in the holidays methinks. As well as getting an 8800GT, Crysis and some ethernet cable... Mmmm dreams.

RANT

I thought it was time i ranted about something, as i have not in quite awhile.

Why do teachers allow people who obviously do not give a shit about school to stay in class? They are merely slowing down the learning process for the people that want to learn and are dumbing us with their retarded and worthless thoughts.

Do you think it is cool to speak against the teacher? Do you think it's cool to disrupt the class? You fucking douche' tard. STFU and sit down and learn some shit, maybe then will you respect other peoples right to an education.

Also, why is it that quite a few people give a shit about body modification? It's your body, i couldn't give a fuck what you want to do with it. If i like the mod then i will agree with it and send approval your way. If i do not like it however, i will not make it my goal to tell you that it is a stupid decision. It's not my decision what you do and do not do to yourself, therefore i do not show disrespect.

I will however, find it amusing what you have done. As i see it, body mods that i don't like that people have done to themselves, have been done to amuse me. Nothing more.

Let me do what i want with my body, without your negativity.

/Rant

School is over on Friday. Thank god. Although i will be attending computing on Monday next week to finish off a programming internal i didn't quite finish. Need programming or else i wont really be able to pursue it as a career later on. Lol.

Don't think i shall attend on Friday, as we have a prizegiving. I am not receiving a prize. I am glad. I don't have to sit in a hall for 2 hours, falling in and out of consciousness.

My bandwidth has all been used. I have just under 2 weeks till new month. This is getting ridiculous, i need to upgrade.

Fuck, i had one last thing to mention but i have forgotton... Grrr. Ah Well, may remember tomorrow, or edit this post...

Later Dawg!

CoD4

Oh how i want this game!

Oh how i want an 8800GT!

Oh how i want Xmas to come faster!

I would talk about the game, but i think he does a good job of summing everything up.

Only 5 hours long? Oh well, at least it's not a fucking cliche' game where everything turns out fine. Fuck that shit.

Epic Post XIV

This starts on Friday.

2/11 - Tonight was an unplanned night. Define an unplanned night you ask? Well it is a night where we are not staying at Saschas house, which is the default house for Friday/Weekends. However, this is not a drawback as you may think, because our backup night plans are always %100 radical, period.

So as you can imagine we were confident our night was going to be hella' cool. We trekked to Stream and went to the Mc Donalds Family restaurant situated in Silverstream itself. A few of us decided to share the fare and purchase a Sundown Special. Needless to say, it was delectable.

Upon departure we were gazed upon by beady eyes crossing the road and into the St Pats Stream South entrance. Racial slurs were muttered to oneself and the phrase "White boy!" was clearly heard by the two boys of african decent. We thought this would be all that was going to happen, but i was mistaken. Seems 2 onto 6 isn't a crazy proposition after all. They followed us back over the train tracks and towards New World. A split occurred between the group which we should've taken more notice of, but we were to confident the followers were going to do anything. This left Brody, Jono and I walking past New World and Sandy, Hamish and TJ paying the ATM a quick visit.

As we passed NW and headed past the Dairy the two followers started to jog. We ignored them and crossed the road to go to the park. I step over the fence with one leg and then hear one of them calling out to me. I stop and face them. He mutters something in gibberish i cannot understand. I reply "What?" multiple times, but he does not sort out his speech enough for me to catch what he's saying. Then he says "You pulled signs at us". I say we didn't do shit and that they were overreacting. The guy then comes up to me and grabs me. I grab him. We argue for about 30 seconds. Then he tries to push me over the little fence and show his strength. I over power him and push him onto the road. I then turn him around and we get back to the footpath. He tries to pull his arm away from me so i quickly jab him in the side of the head.

What ensues is a pretty average fight. I got some good hits in at the start and he got me in the stomach and back of the head a few times but nothing worthy of drawing blood. I then grab his neck and swing himself and I to the ground. I then start strangling him. By this time 3 cars have pulled over and the adults have gotten out and started to yell at me to let go. I don't because i know he will hit me if i do. They keep yelling so i let go and sure enough, he hits me. So i start strangling him again on the ground.

TJ, Hamish and Sandy had begun to jog over when they saw i was being pushed around by somebody. TJ finished the fight by grabbing the guys arms from behind and pulling him up. It would've been all good if he had not made a cheap kick to my face while i was down. I was letting him go and not going to fight him anymore yet he kicks me in the face anyway. I stand up and am pumping with adrenaline. Couldn't stop shaking.

This lady tries to bring in the question of weather this was a racially driven fight. I argue with her about being stereotypical and tell her to STFU. The other adults think we started it but somebody we knows mother came over and told them she had seen the 2 boys running up to us from behind. This shut them up. The 2 boys left, everybody else left.

We went to New World, got something, exited. I realised i had lost my plug when i was on the ground fighting. We went to look for it in the grass, but by that time it was too dark and could not be found.

We decided to head back to my house. Stopping off at the box. Continuing our ritual and continuing to mine. We get back and camp in my room. Not a lot happens, just funny conversation and some CS.

3/11 - In the morning we wake and go to Stream. Get some food. I go home. Play CS. Everyone's at Saschas, except Jordan, Me and Sascha himself. I didn't want to go to Sebastians party, wanted to see him, but not attend the party. Plan was for Jordan and I to go to Stream and meet the others down there and walk to Ethans house for a Spa. Ethan went up to Saschas though and ruined it for everyone.

So we went up there and i didn't drink. That made it 2 weeks sober. Straight edge FTW.

Pie mission was in order so we all busted a move to Mobil. Brody was off his face and started getting aggressive. I started laughing, mosat others started laughing. Some worried. Some bitched. I did not care, because it was clearly funny.

During his rage he punched multiple walls and ended up breaking some knuckes and fracturing his wrist. So now he is in a cast. LAWL.

I don't really want to go into too much detail of what happened at the park but the main stuff was TJ chased Brody and threw him into a fence and cracked him a few times. Hamish got egged via drive-by and lots of abuse was hurled verbally from cars passing by.

Tim came back to mine to crash. I wanted to play some CS so i joined a server with some of my fellow #OpS clan members in it. That was fun. Tim fell asleep on my bed and i CBF waking him up, oh i mean, he fell asleep on my bed and being the good friend i am, i let him stay there.

4/11 - I slept on the couch at 3am. Awoke at 7am. Went to my room, Tim was asleep, i gamed. He awoke. Much rejoicing.

We drank coke, he left, i gamed.

My dad said he would buy me a tunnel for my ear. I was happy, because i didn't have a tunnel before, just a plug. So we jitted to Lower Hutt and i went to buy the tunnel in the mall. 12mm Screw On Silver Tunnel for $20. Not too bad. Went to Evans' to buy some fabric for my sister.

The chick at the counter was hot lulz. The fabric we were buying unknowingly had a price tag of $65 odd per meter. WTF.

So we got half a meter instead. That's fucking whack. Who the fuck buys fabric anyway?

I helped my Dad move some shit. Then went back home.

Started stretching my ear up to 12mm with a paintbrush handle. Hurt a little, was a nice reminder of when i first started stretching, but no way near as painful.

Left that in while i watched some Tenac and played some CS. Took it out and put the tunnel in. It's coooool. Now i need to continue stretching my right ear, looks uneven. Will have to get the 8mm off my sister when i buy her another plug.

I gamed some more and then went to sleep.

5/11 - Attended school. Was same as usual. Got home and remembered i was going into town with Hamish to go see the fireworks.

We went in and went to the place where the function was being held. It was along the waterfront by the boat docks. Good view. They had 2 bouncy castles inside. Was mean. We dominated them. Zandy and I deflated one. Was funny.

Hamish went on a glowstick mission of epic proportions. Ending up with roughly 12 in his possession.

Food was great. Mmmm Ham.

Hamish and i walked to Fran kitts. It was packed. We were the only people with glowsticks. We met up with Futter and some others. We then proceeded back to the venue. We get a txt saying we were missing out on orgasmic cake.

Fuck.

We hurry back, just making it as the fireworks display starts. We quickly take a slash, we find there is still cake to eat. So we grab some and jit out to the deck. We watch. Awesome view. The sound of them is what i enjoy the most.

After that, Hamish, Zandy and I inhale the helium out of the leftover balloons and say funny stuff like "Counter-terrorists Win" and "Hello there Mr Frodo".

Loads of laughter.

We walked back to the car and started to drive home. Hamish and i raving in the back when going past other cars.

I get home and game till 2am. This is because i had missed out on a whole evenings worth of CS. At least the fireworks were enjoyable though. Was well worth it.

6/11 - Today we tried to initiate a plan with something. It did not work, so it has been postponed until tomorrow night.

I shall talk about it tomorrow if it all goes well. Fingers crossed.

In other news, Holy FUCK.

V is for Vagina

Downloaded the full Discography of Puscifer tonight, Maynards side project. Was waiting for the new album "V Is For Vagina" to be leaked before downloading and someone amazingly got the full album with 320kbps bitrate uploaded days before the official release. Which was today.

I could've been listening to this stuff on Monday!

Ahh well, he kindly made a torrent with the previous album "Cuntry Boner" and the EP "Don't Shoot The Messenger". All with high bitrates.

Sounds so good. Have been waiting for this release for months.

Finally got my Design board finished. Due in tomorrow at 8:30am. I'll be glad to finally get it off my hands. It's been interfering with my CS time for this past week.

1:31am and i have school in the morning. This is one of the earliest times i've posted on a school night. Pretty cool i guess. I have English last anyway which is my sleep period. Sweet.

Not sure what's going to go on this evening. Sascha's going to Kristies apparantly so we'll try figure out something to do. I'm most likely going to continue my sobriety for another week. Trying to go straight edge for awhile. Didn't drink last weekend. Will most likely only drink this weekend if offered Vodka, i mean, who wouldn't say no to Vodka.

My wireless signal has been epic lately. On full signal more often than on just good signal. Fucking oats. Telstra Clear is upgrading their shit methinks. Modems all around the house randomly go down every couple of hours for about 10-45min then reset... Hopefully they're gonna be adding new channels to Saturn. Maybe even sort out some added internet speed.

Anyway... Goal for this month...

3:1 KDR in CS

If you know what i'm talking about, then congratulations. You are a gamer.

Also, this could be my next router project. Would be much better than having that fucking pie dish stuck to it atm.
