It's been a while.

Deciding whether or not to return to the world of blogging...expect more things to come, but don't be disappointed if they don't hahaha

I just had the sudden urge to listen to Coldplay, something that's never happened before (to my memory) and I stumbled across "Twisted Logic" from the album "X&Y". The first time I ever heard this song was a few weeks back at the young adults retreat, around a bonfire with new friends. Good times with good people.

So...

Due to a co-efficient mixture of lazyness and busyness I've been posting very minimally. I also realize that it's largely because the luster of blogging has worn off, the initial buzz and glimmer that was so undeniable in the beginning is now lost in the sea of familiarity. It's just how it is.

Now the challenge is persisting through this time when days blur together the bright light home is burnt out and dark *shameless Matt Corby reference*. I'll just have to stick to it, feel free to make fun of me if I don't.

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!
