I recently met Sean Ward. He writes a blog, draws cartoons, raps and is one cool ass dude.
After we met he checked out my blog and left a few comments.
That sparked his idea about the etiquette behind blog commenting. Especially when you just met the person or aren’t part of that blog’s community. We shared some thoughts over Facebook this week about our feelings on the topic.
The conversation can be found on Sean’s awesome blog at seanward.net.
It’s always something. You think everything is fine and then something shows up to the party and ruins your day. It’s sunny outside and I wore a cute outfit but I can’t help but feel grey. I don’t like feeling this way. I should be happy, it’s the weekend and it’s warm out. I found this old eight-track tape in Mum’s basement a little while ago.
I wish I had a player to play it. 
I sorted through a huge pile of business cards. There’s lots of cool people in that pile. I think the cards look neat when wrapped and stacked. I feel like this is the slowest day ever. It’s one of those day’s i’d watch Closer and listen to Damien Rice I think. There’s heaps cool things in Mum’s basement. Lots of our old stuff. The movie Yes Man is really funny. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen. No link to that one, imbarassed to say I even watched the whole thing. I hope it’s nice out tomorrow. I could use a vacation day.
Earlier this week I wrote about the many relationships I’ve had with hardware, computers that is. The track record of breakage expands further than computers, it includes phones and cameras too. I can’t even begin to think about all the units I’ve been though over the last few years.
I look forward to getting to work now that I’ve got a new desktop that stays there. It’s safe from the wreckage that I cause every time a laptop touches my fingers. As I was leaving for the office this morning, I noticed the balcony door open and casually grabbed for the screen door to avoid any bugs coming inside. There’s lots up high in condo-life.
I attempted to close the door when my blackberry jumped out of my hand. He must have wanted to go. I tried to stop him, but there was no way. He was full of spite and skid across the concrete heading straight for the edge. I screamed as if I was being pushed to the very edge myself. It was loud and full of fear. I tried to say ‘don’t do it’ but he jumped, he just jumped. He went right off the edge as if he was at Taupo doing a bungy. Thought flushed my mind thinking, what have I done, what have I not done to make you want to end it all? I watched the whole thing happen. I saw him falling over 20 stories to what became a very tragic death. 
I scurried to the elevator, it seemed to be taking a lifetime. I could not get to the ground fast enough. I saw a resident walk past him, his parts were scattered across the pavement. I wiped a tear and said ‘WHAT AM I GOING TO WITHOUT YOU?” in an angry yet very sad voice. I picked him up and he seemed to still have some life left. ..I got all the pieces and held him close. There was no hope, he was not going to make it. Not after a fall like that. 
Emptiness filled my stomach as thoughts raced through my head. Another breakup to add to the rest. It’s been a tough week, I lost two very special friends, laptop and blackberry. I hope the relationship in this beautiful photo lasts longer than the ones I have with gadgets.
It must be time to switch to iphone…
Great afternoon yesterday with the work mates. I’m not very sporty nor do I enjoy playing anything with flying balls or kicking.
I made an attempt to be a team player…
I put on my ankle support and I played Human Fooseball. Sabrina told me she was watching it happen and thinking ‘oh no, this is a bad idea’. I was standing right across from the shoes in the photo below.
She kicked, I kicked, she won. I got heel right in the top of my foot. I’m currently getting the SAME foot looked at for a heel that went right into it about 3 years ago. Epic fail.
I spent the rest of the afternoon drinking and sitting in the sun. I also went for a relaxing trek around the island on a boat. I liked it. The city looks so pretty from the lake.
Kelly and I were uploading pix to Twitpic the whole time. It was pretty funny because everyone that we were huge dorks and I love that feeling. This photo of us is great, love the tower in the back.
The other day I found a little notebook in my desk. The noted were all made in April 2008. This is the first time I’ve typed them out and now I’m sharing with you. I hope you like them. The photos are from the warehouse the other day. It’s a creative space I adore.
sunny outlook, brand new, fresh book
sun shining outside, take the bike out for a ride
feel the sun shine on your face, biking fast, win your own race
light a cig, turn up the tunes
nothing like the sun in the afternoon
free spirit flowing lyrics, let it out, scream & shout!
don’t be shy let the words fly,
across the page like sprinkled sage
like you lost your age!
define yourself in this life
open your mind, let the words suffice
you are the director, a mind reflector
direct your movie
let your lyrics move me
