Red Lions

We created our first song on Sunday.
Well my band 'mount' did.
I liked it.
We let out our frustration briefly in the song and ripped the lyrics from an essay Anetta found and collected, the essay was about Chinese politics and Chinese culture.


I really like that song.
We are recording it next week.

Short Bad Haired Man

  • Apr 27, 2008
  • Post a comment

I am sitting at university trying to kill time before my next tutorial,

the weekend was fast and too filled to type it all, it was a long weekend too. 

Where do I start?

Friday was an Anzac Day holiday.
I feel on Anzac day I should spent the day with my father and hang out with him. He wasn't in the war, it just feels right. We were busy all day getting things out the way and me and my dad arranged to do all these things so we could go to the motor show being held in Perth this long weekend. I am not a huge fan of cars but my dad is and it makes him happy so I like to go with him, do something he likes for a change. I want to now more so as he is getting older and I am getting busier. 

We got to the motor show and we had to go in 3 tedious waiting lines
1. to buy a ticket
2. to show the doorman the ticket
3. to walk through the corridors to the convention

I felt like a cow in a race to the abattoir.
I mean for a change I was paying to go to a place to get people to sell me things, I felt like a hypocrite.
There was a moment i enjoyed whilst waiting in the 2nd line.
A slightly bogan man was with his girlfriend and he had a very coarse Australian voice and everyone was getting antsy and he could tell his girlfriend was not impressed so he started talking about one of the booths that sell you things whilst your trying to get into a bigger convention that sells you things, well mainly cars.

He says in a strong trying to sound enthusiastic way
"Oh look at that darl, there got...um... chinese mediation therapy!" 
she wasn't impressed and her face was yelling silently 'I choose where we go next time!'

Me and Dad move forward till we get to the final leg, where everyone has bottlenecked and is stuck, with the cars in subtle touch range too. So there is about 200 of us at this bottleneck trying to get in, no one can tell why its bottlenecked it doesn't matter the people are getting ruthless, everyman for themselves the prams didn't stand a chance. A short man, with bad blonde dyed hair pulls himself through the crowd and his girlfriend attached like a dead weight. He tries to push in between me and dad, right through the center and I guess he thought he could he just pushed trough about 100 people. 
then things got ugly.

Short Bad Haired Man: "Coming through, scuse mate"

Dad: "fuck off mate, so are 200 other people"

At this point, I was astonished someone could be so rude, to be so inconsiderate to everyone else, to be so ruthless.
there is a pause for a minute whilst he is wedged stuck between me and dad, I mean who does this guy think he is.

Short Bad Haired Man: "Cmon mate! let me fucking through"

Dad: "Shut up, mate"

Short Haired Man: "I would if you let me through?"

Dad: "fine, you really want to get through?"

My dad, who isn't a large man at all then picks the guy up and throws him forward.
I then saw he was wearing skate shoes and board shorts and started laughing excessively.

The man ended three people in front of us, as a 6'2, 140kg male got in his path and he had a beard.

I'm proud of my dad though, he stood up to the short bad haired man when everyone was to scared to confront a man thats ego was to big for his small frame.

People afraid of people.

The show was good, I couldn't afford anything not even any of that bad old over priced fast food.
There was many tourists taking pictures of cars with expensive lens, cars they see everyday.

I am currently under the impression I'm fighting with my girlfriend,
thats another story.

Everyone feels alone.
I like that everyone does, even when you have people all around you, sometimes you still feel alone.

You keep your mouth shut upon friends and family but give the key to a complete stranger and it feels so much better.
For some reason everything makes sense with some new eyes every now and again.

Then, like just now, your feelings are in a limbo I guess not in an apathetic way,
just like an overload of them you don't know which one you are.
Tonight I'll blame everything on supermarkets.

I miss my best friend.

I feel I need a new best friend,
I need a new partner in crime.

KAPOW!
KAPOW!

Job Interview

  • Apr 21, 2008
  • Post a comment

Today I woke up knowing I could have a job to fit in with my university schedule, work with some interesting people, make lots more money, sell some cult films and various vinyl records.

So I did some regular things before the interview, I had a shower, wait thats not that unusual from any other day but anyway, I shaved, I pulled on some lucky underwear, I fell into new jeans and sneakers and threw on a reliable jacket.
I got in my little red car and took pursuit to the place.

I pulled up to the back of the place, like I do when I go to volunteer the radio station next to the store. Except there was a large lady with short pink hair and too much metal to make too many features in her face. And the girl next to her had so many tattoos that I'm sure no thought was put behind any, besides 'that looks cool' and her lungs were being exhaled like a furnace. I then wondered if they hosted a show at my radio station and then fixed my hair, which consisted of making it more messy and straightening my shirt. I went inside after this.

I asked the guy at the counter if the manager was ready or not, she wasn't. So I said I would just take a look around, I was attracted to there vinyl section, which wasn't truly large enough to be called a section and appealed to people more that were DJ's at clubs or "homies" with pants to big for there waists. There Rock section was a little disappointing and discarded the classics and new hype bands in general. I ended up flicking through the same records over and over again lacking and new bands I wanted to actually hear, so I acted interested in the store then I normally would be. A hip man approached me with nice thick glasses with scruffy hair and beard and told me that he had to take me up stairs to meet the manager, so I followed.

Whilst I followed him, I found it ironic we had to go down stairs to get to the door, to get to the stairs that go up.
It was very Willy Wonka and I said this to the hip man and we both laughed, he was very polite. I then met the manager, who I knew was a girl, but she was younger then I thought, late 20's I'm guessing. I was a little disappointed that the office space was very bland and boring like most city offices compared to the store itself. I then looked to my left to see the large lady with short pink hair and too much metal in her face that looked older then the manager, actually. I felt bad that she worked there and wondered why she had pink hair, did she want to be different? does she like the colour pink? did she want some connotations to tell everyone she is a lesbian?

I followed the manager into a small conference room with an immaculate view. She offered me an office like leather chair but I was a little taken with the view during the interview rather then the interview itself. I didn't want to ask how her day was, I didn't see the point, it couldn't of been great, she was behind a desk interviewing more acceptable candidates and her skin told me she was tired, so I didn't say anything, I just looked out the window at all the small people finishing work and wandering the streets caught in traffic and I wondered if it would be as heavy when I leave this interview.

She asked basic questions, like what you do in your spare time, when I can work and such, it all seemed really pointless and I didn't know if this young woman was serious or not with these questions and I thought I would rather be in Anetta's living room right now creating some tunes.

In the conversation, I was acting slightly awkard but trying to appear funny and charming also.
The conversation then took a turn for the worse when I got lazy and started telling the truth...

Manager: "so what do you think of when you think of ******?"

Me: "Pretentious"

Manager: "you think of pretentious?"

Me: "Pretentious assholes."

It was all down hill from here, but I knew the traffic wouldn't be as heavy now but it will feel heavy.

She ended the interview, she seemed to take the words to heart.
She had swelled eyes and said not to waste her time,
and she didn't seem to understand how much I cared about playing in Anetta's living room then selling cult films.
She stormed out of the room and I told her to enjoy the rest of the day.
I then walked through the office pass her and the large lady with short pink hair and went back down the stairs to go back up the stairs to get out and I did, I then went to Anetta's and left a card in her mailbox to let her know I came by and then tried to fit a cupboard in my little red car, it didn't fit.
