RANDOM PICS FROM MY PHUNE (AKA PHONE)



monash clayton toilet graffiti. i dont know if you can read it, but its basically a fantastically fervent debate about capitalism vs communism, freedom vs constraint etc. makes for great reading while taking a dump. some of the posts are like 500-700 words long. i dont think i want to know the guy who spends that long at a time writing his opinions on a toilet door...

the wrapping on a couple eclipse mints i recently bought.
so hilariously racist. no idea wtf is going on as the statements have absolutely NO relevance to the product, but sooo funny.

CURRIES, NO WORRIES

hipsters and bitches outside carlton hotel

a couple conversations i had in cbd last night:

random chick: "do you like music?"
me: "sorry, what?"
random chick: "do you like music?"
me: "yeah sure, i guess"
random chick: "oh yeah, me too. what are you into?"
me: "i dunno. weird shit blahblah"
random chick: *shows me cd* "do you wanna listen to this band? they're really cool"
me: "you tell me, what is it?"
random chick: "its my friend's band. like alt-rock. do you like alt-rock?" *makes me listen to cd in cd player and broken headphones*
*sounds like shit*
me: "yea cool, i'll keep them in mind..." *walk away*

random old guy: "i love your jeans!"
me: "hah, thanks"
random old guy: "i love ALL GUYS WHO WEAR JEANS LIKE YOURS! SKINNY!"
random old guy: "AHAH!" *shimmies himself through flinders st station gates with some random bywalker*
me: "wtf"

so, like, you know when you're driving around looking culturally relevant and you see a carcrash. its so horrific in all its gore and blood and you know you should pay your respects and turn away, but you cant? thats terry richardson to me. no matter what you think of his heroine smacked pictures, you have got to give the guy some credit - guy has pizazz when he's behind a lens. id have linked his photos from jimmy choo's s/s 09 ad campaign for you, but im going to assume that youre not a retard and can google.

youre probably going to be judged by others while youre browsing terry's pictures (read: soft porn), but who cares what look that bitchass mum with two kids of each arm and a mocha-latte up her ass gives you - atleast youre still culturally relevant.

the first

ah, the first post of this pointless blog. i have no idea in which direction i will take it; possibly a stream of boring consciousness. might have some music/art/fashion discussion too...who knows...
(i dont).

in any case, this is my blog.

enjoy your stay.
