FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER

You toss them out or they toss you. That's how it goes. Emotions aside - when it comes down to it, the reality really is that simple.

MIND LOST

Went out on Saturday night, assembly, started off being good, ended up being better than great. I'm happy right now. very very happy. Sunday (after waking up with a smile and one massive hangover) I left with some friends to Newlands forest. Lay and fermented in the sun for hours, eating junk food and thinking about the weekend. Dylan bought a dagger plant.

oh and i have a tumblr. check it here

THIS WONT HURT

Shot on 400ISO film. Semi broken shutter.

The pic is where I want to be even though I can't forgive. Shot christmas '08. Going to the Newlands forest this weekend with some friends. Taking my camera along. Excited.

Going on four days now with less than about two hours of decent sleep on a good night. I'm considering getting a nocturnal animal as a pet.

YOU KNOW IT'S REAL

I always thought this was going to take time, but it's taking so much more time than I ever thought it would. Nor am I sleeping much due to my room smelling like wet paint. The electrician also hung my new light way to low, so every time I walk under it I get concussed. In other news I FINALLY finished the roll thats in my camera. well done to me. so this weekend I intend to drop it off and get it developed. Fingers crossed that this time all my photo's will come out and not just some random ones in between. never can trust old things all that well. Which means that at some stage next week I will be posting some pics for the last couple of months.

As a replacement for daises, I decided to buy two bottles of wine, these two bottles, along with some snacks, will be going with me to Herman, and we are going to sit on the floor, drink from mugs, sing false to whatever itunes plays us, and even boogy if it gets to that point. Oh and snacks will be eaten from old army tin plates and cans. I found them, I want to use them.

Off to have coffee with Horn. Caffeine bitch.

DO WHAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULDN'T

THE ROOMS

It's funny how things work out. When you think you got let down, something comes right along or in my case you get spiked and end up with it while minimal and bass is making my head explode with beats and I can feel the blood in every inch of my body slow down, and my vision goes and comes back. Also, I managed to build a website, with the help of a friend and his skills, and ofc lots of ciders and beers, but it's done. success. The last couple of weeks and the past weekend has better than I could have asked for.

Found these photo's. The Rooms.

PEAK

So I heard on Friday that some of my work got into the Loerie finals - fuck YES. Been working my ass off, and it seems it's all paying off.

So to celebrate I went out last night. I didn't plan on having such a party, but like always, it ended up being one with some intense needed convo with a dear friend. Woke up this morning (somewhat later than I thought) made my way to the heated flooring, and there I sat while my sibling made me coffee, as far as life working on this campaign goes, I'm counting down the seconds till it's over and in the past. It's getting on my nerves way to much. Along with all the other shit happening right now. I'm just craving a holiday.

I have a shitload of work to do before Monday hits. Porti must be done, visiting the design studio I'm keen to intern at in the morning so that is number one right now. Got to get this shit done. But, yet again I'm dreading Monday, or this coming week for that matter. Not due to college work, but personal stuff. It might be a great week, but it might be one that I'll just want to forget. I'll let you know how it goes.

For now, here is a sneak peak photo from the shoot I directed for the campaign- shot by Cameron McDonald (Brilliant photographer). Model - Patricia Laloyo from Fusion Models (She was great to shoot) Please note it hasn't been fully retouched.

I'M THE KID IN THE BACK THINKING "PICK ME"

keeping the chin up

MINDED

Whats on my mind. Ink. party. campaign. poker.

Meeting and a casting to do tomorrow. - I'm actually looking forward to Terrible Tuesday for once.

RED APPLE

I woke up this morning unable to really swallow. ( Probably the cause of minimal sleep due to the workload looming overhead. ) So I sat down and counted my cents, went to the clicks around the corner and got myself some advil and corenza. This really took the last couple coins I have on my name. Well that I want to spend that is. A girl needs money for going out you know. well, some money, generally drinks sort themselves out.

Im typing this from college btw. I got capped last night. - And since I'm currently flat broke buying more is simply not an option. Last night I had a (ONE) bagel with butter for dinner. And the fact that I even had that bagel is surprising. But who needs food when you have coffee, smokes hub and good music? Other news: I have turned my Marlboro's into Red Apple cigarettes, Saturday night I will become Mia Wallace. All the way. Down to a t. Minus the O.D. I think. I haven't been partying in Obz in a while.- Apart from drinking copious amounts of wine at the friends place. Looking forward to show Obz what I'm made of. Or what Mia Wallace is made of.

The Shoot went well. Really fun, had a couple of laughs, poll-danced around a street sign / park sign - the location had no wind, which was great. Looking forward to seeing the photo's. The two or three that I did peep at looked good.

I plan on visiting fort knox this weekend, they have steak. well somebody stole the steak.- three guys in one flat, steak in the fridge - I can see how that would happen. But I'll be swinging by. They also have good coffee. and I love sitting on the semi warn out couch in between the million gig posters that cover all the walls while listing to some great music. Then I'll be heading back home to work. That will be my break. And a great break it will be.

WEEK(ENDED)

one weekend of "no I'm not going to be going out much" turned into - out on every night. but it was great. headaches, pills to stop them, 21st, fashion label launch. free patron - can't complain. - a world where buttons gets you booze is a world that I want to live in.

tomorrow I'll be dropping off more frames, and in the afternoon I have a shoot. No idea what I'l be wearing but I'm amped, should be a good one. then my week will become a worked packed one, no sleep and copious amounts of coffee that will give a lesser human a heart attack.
