Banquet - Bloc Party

2007-05-12T22:40:00.000+10:00

I feel kinda crap and cannot sleep so I am writing a blog entry. Is that the right thing to say?

Anyway.

In primary school children learn to think the same; in high school young adults learn to think and act the same; at university adults they put all of what they have learned into practice. When they graduate university they all live they same lives.

I would like to see a world were paintings in a gallery can be hung crooked (Instead of parallel and perpendicular). I would like to see people act and think for themselves. I would like to see the grass being green every were you look. I would like to see people being praised for standing out in a crowd( the square peg in the round hole). I would like to see being different a badge of honour you wear with pride. I imagine this world I would like to see is what hell looks like. I imagine this world I would like to see is full of choices( not just one option from which to choose).

Well I am done.

Thought I would try something new. I will post my shopping list.

Here goes.

-onion
-capsicum
-premix salad
-ice-cream
-smarties
-lube(important)
-box to post 360
-dried yeast
-cake/dessert
-scotch
-cheese

I thought this would satisfy the voyeur in everyone of use. People are fascinating and where are they more fascinating than when shopping. Whether it is buying clothes, books, computer games or in this case groceries.

I am a fan of Richard Dawkins (look him up). Though I do not consider myself to be an atheist. I consider myself to be agnostic. I like to question things so that is my diagnosis. Though I am open to criticism. I do not enjoy arguing about God. Or if exists.

I enjoy smelly things, shinny things, popular things (I am shallow), colourful things, movies, tv and of course air. I love breathing it is my favourite thing in the world.

I have to stop procrastinating. I need to spend less time on the computer. I need a of of things.

Mr. Braddock: Ben, what are you doing?
Benjamin: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool.
Mr. Braddock: Why?
Benjamin: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.
Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school?
Benjamin: No.
Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin: You got me.

That quote is from the Graduate. A great movie if you have not seen it you should. It reflects how I feel right now. I am comfortable just to drift. Not push and boundaries just drift. It is very scary. Like I have lost my nerve.

Ice cream is here to save the day.

When ever I write I need I need space.

Easter has been and was. I worked at target on Saturday. Wow was that an eye opener. People really get invested in these hallmark holidays. I had someone spend $859.69 on Easter eggs and other present. i think people just need something to celebrate. They read in the tabloids and see on the news how terrible their lives are suppose to be. They do not realise how good they have it. having the freedom to say what ever you like. do as you wish, support any parasitical idea - also known as politics. It so close as to be invisible. It is right in front of their eyes. They just cannot see it so they believe what they are told. So instead of being happy they believe that they are sad.

Well my quest for learning skills took me on a 17 day journey. But it was nothing like the band journey because it was good. I finished my first law assessment. Ate lots of chocolate, got drunk, got my open car driving licence. Discovered how much more now I want to go to Japan. I could list all day but I will save me the trouble.

Daylight saving end. Woo Whoo. I really want to educate people that time is not part of nature. Man invented base 12 and we applied that to change to get Time. Simple birds do not know time. Dogs do not know time. Spring is also a man invention. Do you think that dogs sniff each others asses then say how nice the weather is? I thought so.

Gosh! I really need to found a way to learn. I mean I need to learn how to learn. Passing a test is easy. Learn is hard. Anyone could pass a test. Look at me I have done that.

Poetry rocks. I just need to stop writing horrible poetry.

I will leave you on one final thought. You can not own anything. Think about it.

Boobies.

2007-03-06T20:24:00.000+11:00

Today I will talk about the seabirds of the booby family. Specifically the blue footed booby. This bird i the most cool bird in the world. It has blue feet. That is cool. Humans wear blue shoes to look like the have blue feet. Blue footed boobies belong to the sulidae family. Average weight is 1.5kg. females are slightly heaver. They live in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America. That means if you go to the Galapagos Islands not only will you be a victim of Pirates but also might have a chance to see a blue footed booby.

Words Form the Wise.

That is right I am the WISE ONE.

-Smiling will get to Ladies.
-Dancing however terrible is more fun than watching from the Grand Stand.
-If you go shopping and you have no money put your hands in your pockets. This does two things makes you look awesome like me and stops you from picking things up off of the shelf's. Thus purchasing them.
-Drinking in moderation makes you THA MAN.
-Sometimes taking a plunge and seeing what the world provides is thrilling. Take that leap of faith.

That is it for today's lesson if you have more question consult your nearest badger.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the greatest movie ever. I hope one day I will have the confidence to be half as charismatic as Ferris Bueller. And that car. Drool.

The rain sucks but watching movies is fun.

I love region free games. All distributors should distribute only region free game. Much better for the consumer. But hey what does the consumer matter anyway. It is only about the money.

Sea Legs - The Shins

2007-02-06T16:49:00.000+11:00

The Shins new album is way cool. Wincing the Night Away is one of those albums you just have to listen too. And it is not to hard to do. You do not need to invest to much of anything to "get it". It is fun, deep, diverse, lose, just plain rocks.

Operation Credit Card Freedom.

Today was the day that OCCF was puled off. A little background info to begin. I need a credit card to buy things for my holiday. Today I got a credit card. well not so much got as got the details. See it is my dads. I covertly copied the number using many skills I learnt from TV. Like Stealing, Graffiti, Murder, Public Nuisance, Swearing. And some I learnt from movies. Skateboarding, Sweet Jumps on my Mountain-bike, Selling Drugs, Hugging people for far to Long, Pirating. So anyway I got what I wanted. Much fun to be had.

Were to begin . . . Heroes was awesome on Wednesday night. So awesome in fact I went and found the first 4 episodes. The wild is fun. Confusing sometimes but way cool.

I chopped my finger with a axe. Got six stitches as a result. The stitches are out now. The doctor had my in Stitches for seven days. This guy is hilarious. But not seven days hilarious.

I am just a modern guy I get a little carried away.

I like OXS because it is friendly.

I love my new phone.

I hate the "Friend Zone". I always fall into the friend zone. I need to be more aggressive in my pursuit of relationship. Speak me mind. Tell them what I want. I wish I had more fans than the average man. This year I will change.

I think I will get the 70L Eagle Creek Maiden Voyage. It is designed to fit women. Ask my brother and he would tell you I am a women. Therefore, I can use this backpack. Plus who would know. Only train-spotting wankers that is who. It $299.95. I think it will be worth it. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Eagle Creek is a strong brand. And I like the colours it comes in. Just don't tell my dad. He would say in his passive aggressive way "Why did you do that".

My phone came today. SE K800i. This is me getting angry on the phone.

Found out that I can not get the Eagle Creek backpack I wanted. D'oh!.

And today was most likely my last shift at Target. YES!. Awesome I think. I hated working in that place.

Today I looked at Black Wolf backpacks. They seamed to be good for there price. They were much cheaper than the Eagle Creek and High Sierra packs.

I also got a Snorkel and Air Bed. They are not for my trip to Japan. They are for Australia Day. My family and i are going camping yeah.

Will look at medical kits tomorrow and hopefully here back about getting the Eagle Creek pack I inquired about.

Never knew how hard it would be to find a decent travel pack.

Have narrowed my search to two different packs. The Eagle Creek Voyage 65L.

Or the High Sierra AT3 SIERRA-LITE

Both different. Need to workout what I need more. Be able to use the bag as a backpack or wheel the bag.

Also need to acquire a medical kit.

Things to do for Monday:

Medical kit
Snorkel gear (for Australia Day)
Bank Money
Findout who has a passport among my friends.

I Should start by introducing myself.

Hi. My name is Jarred Flynn. I am not an alcoholic. I am 21. I lust for travel. This is why i started this blog. To track my Saving and Spending. My goal is Japan in January 2008.

How will I name my posts - The band and song i am currently listening to.

I live 5 minutes walk from the beach yet don't surf. I go to college. I am studying Business. I hope to major in Accounting. Why am i writing short sentences? A lecture told me to do this. Why? it makes the work easier to comprehend. And it works for me.
