Some punk loser rants on about life in general (not the MxPx album).

 
I'm sitting at my desk right now designing a new men's bag (for clothing) and the size specs are based on that urban attitude bag that andrew hoyne did. It's so tacky , but I'm thinking maybe it was designed awhile ago, so it's not so bad. I just really dont like that font. I have a thing about fonts, you can make the best piece of art in the world, but if the font is wrong, it is going to look crap, no matter what. I dont like the pattern in the background either... but I liked those little postcards they had awhile ago. I dont know if they were designed by the same place though.

I think a lot of the people I've seen at AGIdeas haven't been as good as they thought they were. Dom Bartolo has gone down a lot in my eyes since the whole sorry day thing on australian infront. I dont think it was the right place to bring in something so political and contravercial (I can, tell, looling at that that i spelt it wrong, controversial? ummm, dont have a spell checker on me, soo). People are being judged for their opinions on that site and I think it's damaging friendships a bit... it looks like it, anyway (im just a lurker, so I probably dont know much about it, anyway). But yeah, I think it was a silly thing to do.

My first ever practise has been moved to tomorrow night, cause I have the flu, but hopefully it'll be better by friday. I'm so excited, it's gonna be so fun. I think this pay I'll buy a few pedals, I also want an electronic tuner. I was bidding on a cool guitar strap on eba, but it has gone up to 20.50 us, whish is way too much to pay for a guitar strap. It was a black and white check dickies one. I won an auction for a 7inch vinyl of Rapid Hope Loss this morning. It's gonna be cool when it comes. I also bought the new version of mmbs last week so it should arrive sometime next week, the one with the REM dvd. I hope the dvd works here, otherwise I'll just buy the aussie version and have two copies! I want the japanese copy that has teenage dirtbag on it. That would be so cool.

Theres all this stuff on the radio about depression at the moment cuase of that footy player. What I dont get is, how could a football player get depressed? They get heaps of money, they are allowed to break the law (even rape people!) without any consequences, everyone treats them like heros, and they never have to work a day of their lives. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but there doesn't seem to be much to be sad about. I always get angry the way the media cares more about famous people being sick than 'real' people. There are so many people with depression, and with the delta thing, so many people with cancer, but because they're not famous, no one gives a stuff. Like this happening wouldnt make the depressed people even more depressed? "oh, you have to be famous for people to care". I can tell why they are doing it, though. Male suicide is really really high. So it's probably like a role model thing so jocks wont kill themselves or something. I never really understand depression, though. I mean, no matter how bad you feel, there is always someone worse off, so it's pretty selfish. But I guess it's an illness so they cant help it.
