February won.

Happy Febrauary people. Cloudy, gloomy with a touch of Winter. Definately not the summer to remember as many clothing companies had put it in late October. One month without substances, not substance, just substances. I have saved a whopping one thousand smackers for my tattoo which is booked in on 11 Feb. I love ink, it’s just the fact that I can never afford to get more. One month off the drink and shmiggies and I have that much to get drawn on. Feeling stoked on that. This month is also going to be the smash my body into submission month, going to train until I vom. I am weeding out the shit from previous years. Listening to many a genre’s of music of late, not sure what I am into any more. Be it, breaks, HXC, Dub, Nu Disco, Acoustic love affair, great to be listening to so much though. Soundwave coming up, amped outta my mind on this one, cannot wait to see Thursday, another bucket list tick. been surfing a plenty, plans on a new custom board are in the works also, retro mini simmons as one blogger put it the hipster indie kids answer to making surfing more hipster and cool. I don’t mind that, I am looking more at how these board manouver themselves on any type of wave. I have one of my favorite shirts which has not fit me for years being glassed into this little puppy also. A legrope glass arch on the top, little woodens or black fins so laid back it would seem the board would rather chill in a boho chic store than be ripping slabs. I am so pumped for this board to eventuate. I even thought of getting a thruster, raugh out roud, that moment passed as quick as it came. Why keep up with these paddle pop stick boards, unless you are on the circuit you cannot utilise these boards as they are to be utilised.

Some points I learnt in January.

  • Not drinking in the month of party can make you positively cashed up.
  • You don’t hang with your mates as much, bit of a downer.
  • You get to hit the waves prior to your pissant mates who are still out to it.
  • You realise that we only get two days off a week, why would you waste it in bed, alone, wanting to vom.
  • You realise that you might only drink when you want to from now on, not just when everyone else is drinking.
  • You become happy when you hear that alcohol and ciggies are going up again in what is being called a sin tax. Sin tax, really?
  • You have better thinking patterns and can get better results and resolutions.
  • You focus more on the things of years past, you don’t think your so artsy and different and alternative just because you get mucked up and mushy every weekend.
  • You  get stoked on life, stoked on the fact that you have cash, stoked that your surfing more, stoked on being stoked.
  • You realise that drunk peoples understanding of issues is ridiculous.
  • You realise that the central coast is not as bad as everyone believes it to be, make your own fun.
  • You realise that night clubs are for wankers, cliche women and people that were picked on way too much in early teen years.
  • You realise that food tastes better without the overbearing smoke flavour, unless said food is smoked by means of cooking.

Enough for now. Have a great week, month. It is a leap year we get one more day, pumped for that one. Now just to be able to sleep before my tattoo in two weeks, before I go to the shaper re: my board, before lovey dovey day, before my training till vom.

Listen to hardcore it makes you do things faster and better than normal. Like coffee, mmmm coffee, love that shit way more these days also. P.S. if you aren’t cool with my new little ideas, then I don’t care, you do what you do week to week, enjoy it. But not drinking for only one month has brought me to many resolutions that would not of been though of prior. Try it, even just for one month, four weeks, your pocket will thank you thats for true.

Meaningless rants of recent

And the best is yet to come, no, well not really. I just haven’t had that inner indulgence to write about what is stirring me lately. So I started this blog a few years ago, I jumped back to it when shit was going sour in late 2010, I still couldn’t write much then cause of the circumstances surrounding me. The name is perfect, The best name for this blog I feel, mindless garbage, that is what comes out of me, mainly. Sometimes I will write something even I feel inspired by. Sometimes. Anyway here is another installment:

Is it possible for people to change? really possible to change? I mean for sure you cannot tell someone to change and they just do it, for you. doesn’t happen like that, it needs to be a personal decision. A decision which has been thought about night after night, whilst listening to certain songs, whilst reading certain books. People cannot make you change it needs to be a personal choice.

Monster Children: A magazine I’m sure many of my readers (if any) are aware of. Yet again another perfect name and was once, written and edited by an intelligent bloke. Obviously no longer, Social media, I feel is becoming the death of this once reputable magazine. The editor is a dick waiting for an explosion. Obviously like many other people in Australian employment, he is too young and too inexperienced for his position. Taking drugs, smoking, drinking to excess, partying as if your last day - following the fucking crowd. Get your own direction. Tweens these days not only dress as 20+ somethings but also act like it. I remember when I was a tween, well 13-17 wearing all red outfits, red cap, red shirt, red shorts, red shoes. You know why? Not because it was in a fucking magazine of what some famous dick was wearing but because apparently I liked red. Now it is about whatever these ill informed editors are writing about that the masses will complete, General Pants are making a fucking killing out of skinny jeans and muscle tees, “it was in this months issue of follow”

Unfamous and infamous - Since I got foxtel (which is disappearing next week, thank christ) I have heard of more ‘famous’ people than I would care to. These people who live mundane existances, but ‘all’ of us tune in just to see how they are “keeping up” - What have we become? why is our society becoming so ill informed of what to do and when to do it.

Moral to this story is get your own fucking life, choose your own fucking existance, wear what you want, do what you want. Don’t worry about judgement, in the end it is only you that can make you happy, remember that.

Your a fool!

you know what sucks? Vacuums, but you know what else sucks?

Depression, and one major cause of depression is being overwieght, out of shape and a general distaste of where you are and what you have done. 2012, the year I have planned to fix my shit up. My personal shit, last year was as you will be aware a rollercoaster of everything. A soup of good and bad stuff mixed in, kind of like Australia’s assimilation standards.

I will stick to this goal and plan with the support of my very closest, my nearest and dearest. You know, personally I have had an up and down battle with mood, emotions, lethargy and the likes, eating healthy, having a great relationship, doing more physical activities, not smoking, not drinking, good sleep, more surf, more creativity, better employment outcomes are giving me the strength and power to move through, towards a better, stronger, fitter, more in shape me. I have set myself a target goal of raising a mere $100.00 for Beyond Blue, a charity that supports depression within Australia, 1 in 5 are believed to suffer from depression, you definately have close friends that would be in this category, without naming names I can think of a few of mine.

Whenever your next pay packet is, how about donating $5.00 to a worthwhile charity? that is one coffee, one beer,  two cheezeburgerz. That is strong support for a great charity. This donation page will be open until mid April, I will be not drinking until March, how about if I don’t drink until the end of March, then you tip in $10.00 or less, or better still more.

Have we got a bet? Do we? Because I know there are doubters out there that think I cannot go three whole months without a drop.

So sharks are the news recently. Boring, funny though that the image of Tony getting out of his swim, he had a dry shirt on. Never have I seen a shark attack a person who is on land, dry. Journalism in Australia has a lot to answer for.
