Born to Bornhoffen?

I'm writing this with haste, as my lift to leave for "Rush-Summer Vibe" should be here very soon. From my understanding it's the annual young adults retreat and it should be fantastic. Not only is the location splendidly picturesque, but the content of the retreat should be equally as life enriching.

Will post results soon!

Playful post its

These people make me so happy, their so fun and quirky! I'm looking forward to busting this out at a library soon, ohh the fun that will be had...

There is so much that is right about this song. First of all, Paul Dempsey is a lyrical genius! "Those average angels, the drunken saints with heavy heads, They can keep dreaming, dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed; But nobody's ever gonna break your heart again". Not to mention the line "shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide".

Secondly, the art direction of the film clip is simply wonderful. My research indicates the work of  Sydney duo, Sonny Day and Biddy Maroney from "We Buy Your Kids".They've worked with other bands such as The Drums, Best Coast, Jen Cloher and Jordie Lane, Birds of Tokyo and many more. If you have any interest in graphic design or things that look nice then I recommend you check them out post haste.

Thirdly, Paul's voice is delicious. It's all deep and dreamy...I mean manly...but seriously that man can sing...I'm just going to stop.

On a valentine's day.

What a spectacular day! Not in a Valentine's sort of way but in a general good day sort of way. Even though my super romantic Valentine's day plan failed at checkpoint 1 I moved on and enjoyed the city.

I do like the idea of Valentine's day, even as a single male, it gives me something to aspire to for the future. I sat for ages a few weeks back thinking about all the ways I could surprise someone on Vday. First thought was to appear on the front door and serenade, then there was random notes throughout the day, then maybe some more quirky things like dressing up as a delivery boy with a heart shaped haloumi pizza.But then I decided on a plan that was designed with fail points at pretty much every avenue, even the very initiation of the plan, which meant that it never really even started. You may say it's a terrible plan, and I'd actually agree, but this girl is so amazing that I can't think straight around her (and by around her I also mean in my head, so you see she renders me incapable of rational thought by the very idea of her) so as plans go for her this is above average.

Perhaps it's not too late to make her my Valentine, when it comes down to it does the date really matter? Isn't the emotion and heart behind it what makes the day special. I reckon I could raise everyday to the standard of Valentine's days, and then raise the 14th of Feb to something absolutely spectacular. I've been blessed with a romantic mind, I just need her to use it on!

Let your light shine down.

Makes me happy.

Possibly my favourite comic ever, mainly because it uses the word oxytocin...I do so love oxytocin.

So i'm a little behind.

I'm still trying to catch up on "A Challenge. 2", and feel it would be wrong to give you challenges before completing the ones I've set. Plan is to deliver my letter tomorrow morning and post results once I get home.

In other news, I'm also expecting my first paycheck to go through tomorrow. Seeing as I've been a bit lazy getting my bank details to the boss I'll be getting 2 weeks worth of pay in one delicious hit. I know it's terrible but in my head the money is already spent (even though I don't know how much I'm getting). Guitars, amps, pedals, car, clothes, FOOOOOOD...good thing I'm getting another job. I'm hoping that I'll be working too much to spend my money...but someone I don't see that happening...

Flip this song is good. Definitely my favourite version. I nearly explode at 4:23, such powerful worship...and it sounds soooooo cool hahaha.

Thanks are due.

I realized something pretty special just this week, I've got some amazing people backing me. I look back at some of the crucial points of my life and look at the people who have been there. Right now I really have to thank Corban, for believing in my ability and pushing me higher than I thought possible. 

This Sunday I'm playing at the 6pm service at BCC Bowen Hills, along with group of younger cohort of musicians. I want to stress that this does not happen at Bowen Hills, Its rare to have a teenager up, let alone someone who's under 18. Thank you Corban for believing in the group, I know that there is a lot riding on this performance and we will not let you down!

I'm back, sort of.

I'm actually really happy to have my laptop usable again, i feel more complete now haha. I'm looking forward to blogging everything that's been happening, which unfortunately I won't be able to do until...soon (hopefully). But that'll just mean better content, in theorey...

In other news, for my first month I had 1515 hits on here, which I am totally astounded by. You guys are seriously the best people ever, especially those of you who have been following from the first post and promoted me. I never expected so much interest, and thank you all for your support!
