I don’t know if you all experience it like I do, but when you stop declaring ‘fan mail’ as ‘fan mail’ and start declaring it as ’spam’ - that’s when you realise you’ve lost the passion. It’s no longer about the people but more so about the money and the fame, and it’s not what I wanted to become. So I’ve decided to make a comeback. I’ve stopped living the life of a star and have come back to my roots… And this is where it starts, my first blog in a year and a bit.

Now, after all this time of neglect and abandonment, are you, my people, the fans, even still out there? If I can just reach one of you perhaps that will be just enough for that one person to spread the word that I’m back. A wise-man once said “Post, and they will come.” - I don’t remember who it was but I’m sure he was old and wise. I imagine him in a robe of sorts, holding a staff, and he says it to me with a hand on my shoulder. He also has a long white beard, which I’m tempted to pull to see if it’s real… oh crap… it is…

So… people of the interwebs… I am back! Go, spread the word. May you enlighten people of possibly one of the best comebacks of all time. Me! And don’t worry, I am dedicated to bringing you more of what I used to bring you. Whatever that was. News? I dunno, whatever…

So at Tafe I am currently working on my Final Project, which is a Management Project where we can do pretty much anything we want (God I hate open briefs!). For my project I have chosen to create a “Choose your own adventure website” with a twist. With 2 twists actually…

The first twist is who writes the story… You! That’s right, you can write your own part in the story… This is where I need your help! Please go to the submissions page and submit your own part of the story! Feel free to submit as many stories as you wish, and just maybe your story will be chosen!

The second twist is… For each part or page that is chosen, I will create a piece of art that will represent the part or page of that story… If that makes sense… Well, that’s the plan anyway…

So please, go to the submissions page and help a fella out!
It would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

I’ve also been working on my main project for Tafe this semester… In which is such a broad option of a project it’s the hardest one so far. As in, I can do absolutely anything I want… this makes it quite difficult. I would much rather a theme to work upon or some guidelines to work off, that would be much easier. All I’ve come up with so far is an idea to work around the choose your own adventure books, but to make a website and/or DVD. For example, the website would have a written story, with media of different stories that depict the story, like on one page, a photo, on the next, a video. I would then also put the same story onto DVD but instead of a written story it would be a narrated story with sound effects and music as well.

So that’s my idea for how, but I have no idea on what sort of story I could make up. It’s kinda limited because I’d like to do a fantasy type story, but wanting to put video in it kind of makes it hard because I don’t have the resources that say, Peter Jackson had on Lord of the Rings. Anyways, if you happen to have any ideas I’m very willing to accept any sort of suggestions! I might even go as far to say I’m desperate! Seriously!

Anyways, for those who haven’t seen any work I’ve created to far, I’ve uploaded a couple of assignments onto youtube, here they are…

This one was a project where I had to include a number of elements which could include video, 3D, photography, text or vector graphics. So in this one i chose Video with some 3D space using after effects for the title, and yes, we had to use a voice over so that is my voice. So here it is…

This is another one I did earlier in the semester where again we had to include 3D and video. For this I created the scene in 3D using Cinema 4D and embedded my friend into the 3D space using rotoscoping. If I had more time this would be alot better, but it’s not bad for 3 weeks production work.

Well, I think that’s enough for today. Hopefully this post will tide you over for some time. I will post again soon I promise.

Cheers.

So now I’m happy to say that I’ve found a couple of decent songs I’m really getting into. After I had ‘obtained’ these songs I decided I’ve been missing out, so I’ve been going crazy getting lots of funky tunes thanks to Egor and projectw. If you don’t know what projectw is google it. I can’t be held liable to send you there! Don’t worry, it is safe for work.

So here are a couple of tunes that I’m really into at the moment. Not sure why, they’re just really funky and easy to groove along too. Managed to find the video clips so you can listen to the song and watch the clip too! Here you go…

Wait a Minute Feat Timbaland - Pussycat Dolls

Glamorous - Fergie

Hope you like them.

Some Albums that you should look into if you get the chance…

Ministry of Sound…
Euphoric Dance Breakdown

So yeah, look into those too. As for what I’m up to these days, I’m just studying like crazy and working on my assignments. Once they’re finished I’ll upload them so you can take a look. I should have one ready for you all by Thursday, coz that’s when it’s due
Arghh! So busy!

Ah well, off to bed… see yaz!

So here I am safe and sound, after quite an adventerous weekend. Very adventerous! Actually, my Saturday was a pretty quiet Saturday, which was lucky because I don’t think I would have been able to handle two big days like Sunday! Let me explain why…

For my birthday my beloved Emma bought me a few hot laps around Calder Raceway in a V8 Supercar. We headed off at about 12pm to arrive there just before 1:30pm. Had a sausage and watched the cars go round the track for a bit. After a bite, I suited up and headed to the briefing room. The professionals introduced themselves and gave us instructions and what to expect on the track. We then headed over.

It was fantastic just to stand so close to these vicous machines, with the rumble of a mean V8 engine and the smell of burning rubber… it doesn’t get much better than that. Until of course, you’re allowed to drive one! This was crazy. It did take me a few laps to really get comfortable and put the foot down, but the whole drive was fantastic! Going hard around corners and 160-180km/h down the straight!

This is me…

The next bit was the hot laps with the professional driving and OH MY GOODNESS… After i had checked my pants for soilment, I had the ride of my life. So cliche but there’s no other way to put it! These guys truly are nuts, taking every corner as fast as physically possible and somehow pulling out still on the road. Going down straights at 180km/h plus, only to slam on the brakes with only 25-40 meters before the corner. Ridiculous! And the cars handle it so well, like, unbelievably well and it’s still a smooth ride all the way. It was just so much fun and I am forever grateful to my beloved for it. So Thank You Emma, and next time you will be the one driving!

As for after the race track, was a whole new adventure! Imagine driving down a major highway in a little daewoo lanos, being in the middle lane travelling approx. 100km/h, in gale force winds, when your bonnet (hood) un-hooks and flies up into your windscreen! This was probably the point where my heart was pumping the fastest for the whole day! I was very lucky to be able to pull over into the emergency lane without too much trouble, but the windscreen cracked and there was glass everywhere. We had to pull the bonnet back down and bend it into shape. We were then very lucky to find a rope on the side of the road to tie down the bonnet so we could travel very slowly back to my house. And we made it! But shit did that scare us!

All in all it was a very eventful weekend and I just had to share it with you all. I’ve put some photos up in the gallery for you to view so check them out. I will upload a photo of Emma’s car to show you the damage! It’s pretty crazy.

Well, that’s all I’ve got to say at the moment. But I would love to hear your comments on the photos and our wonderful experience!
Thanks for reading…

Yes that’s right, the wonderful Sara and Jelena have completed the WordPress plugin Ask Me. It has been long awaited by many, especially myself (sorry for bugging you heaps Sara ). But the wait is finally over and now we get to enjoy it to our hearts content!

So what is Ask Me? I hear you ask. Well Ask Me is a small little WordPress plugin that allows visitors of my site to ask me those questions they have just been busting to ask me. The questions that only I could know, whether I tell you the answer or not is a completely different story! If and when I do answer your question both question and answer will be posted on my Ask Me Page.

So now is your chance, head over to my very own Ask Me Page and ask me anything you’d like. Your question will be delivered to my inbox and answered as soon as possible! Only appropriate questions will be answered (sorry Doc), but if you’re desperate I’ll just email you the answer.

Hope to hear some interesting question from you soon!

I have created three characters on two different servers. I have a level 49 57 70 Night Elf Hunter, a level 45 Dranei Mage and a level 17 19 39 Human Priest on one server and a level 17 Undead Mage on another. I have played this game for countless hours on end and by far and not sick of it and I still have a long way to go. I’m even still learning all the lingo! So that’s what has been taking up a lot of my time in between clients and such. You may even be wondering why on earth I am free to post this entry? Well Blizzard are applying the final path to WoW before the burning crusade is released, so the servers are down and no one is able to play at the moment.

But yes, I have been doing work for clients! Along with working on my portfolio and applying for higher education courses i’ve been doing odd jobs here and there for a couple of my main clients. I have been applying for Uni and TAFE courses to “broaden my horizons” as they say so I can eventually end up getting a degree and teaching what I know. This is the plan anyway. All along the way I will still have clients on the side to keep me going.

So that’s what I’ve been up to as of late. I just thought I should drop a line to let you all know I’m still alive and kicking (horde ass). I have a few topics that I’d like to discuss with you soon but they are somewhat controversial and wish to do some research before I do.

Take note! Please notice that there is no “driving around the city for 20 minutes” amongst these factors. If this were the case, Melbourne would not have scored as well as it did. Why? Because no one in this bloody city can drive. And I for one am sick of it, it’s getting ridiculous and I’m going to do something about it. I don’t know what yet, but I am.

I was driving along a main road this evening, going the speed limit through an intersection, and as I’m going through I see a car coming from the left turning left to travel the same direction as me… if that makes sense. I thought this car was going a bit fast, but I thought, surely it’s going to slow down and give way to me like it should… But no, it cuts out right in front of me! Luckily I was prepared for this and knew there wasn’t a car beside me and was able to change lanes VERY quickly.

I then proceeded to hold my 3 tone horn down for about 15 seconds next to this, as it turns out, woman. I found this as I drove past her driver’s side… seeing her on her bloody mobile phone! I couldn’t believe it! This goes to show people that mobile phones do cause accidents. I won’t tell you that I then jumped in front of her and slammed on the anchors, which she then changed lanes and turned right very quickly. I then proceeded to do a 180 and try to follow so I could kick her door in, but alas I lost her.

Kick her door in? Did I say that?! Well, I did say I’m sick of these drivers and am going to do something about it. So there you go, cut me off and I’ll kick your door in.
