First time for everything

I've finally read over my blog entries. I'll be doing a major cleanup and a fresh start.

Be on the lookout for more pics that I'll post up whenever I'm bothered. It'll be mostly about whatever's happenning around Liverpool and the South west Sydney in general. I mean, everyone loves talking about how awesome Newtown, Surry Hills, Glebe or wherever in the Inner West really are but when you mention Liverpool, it's always negative news (yes I admit I'm also responsible for that too). Maybe actually paying more time to whatever's happening around this area will make me feel more positive about being here.

This is also partially inspired by the guitar lessons in the Hub at Miller.

It doesn't make any sense!

What drives me nuts at the moment is work. Mainly cos it's a McJob. But then it's also because of the severe lack of shifts I've been getting. Since the kiddies have gone back to school, I haven't got one shift at all. Though I couldn't be bothered complaining right now considering how busy I am with Peer Network all this week and last week. And I still haven't got my enrolment sorted (it hopefully will by this Tuesday).

As of the last few months I have applied to a number of jobs that friends have got with a similar amount of experience. Didn't get any due to the lack of it. What confuses me is how they want people with more experience. Where do you start? I am sure if the applicant is willing to gain more experience then s/he can be accepted right away. There is always a starting point in life. So there is NO reason why a place like Woolworths or Big W or Coles should reject you for that very reason stated above.

Good thing? Dad's finally home from Vietnam after a month. Mom misses him like hell.

Quote of the week

"If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away."



Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

In other words, just treasure every moment...especially if it involves writing assignments and trying not to plagiarise a textbook!

So...Paddock Blues?

Why that name?

Mostly it's because of how much I love the song performed by the severely underrated Sydney band, Bluebottle Kiss. This is the final song of their third album, 'Patient'. It has this hauningly beautiful yet disturbing feel throughout the sound echoed by the musicians in this track. The thing that gets me most is when the song actually ends, the haunting sound continues till you feel a chill in your body even after the song reaches its final note.

As for the purpose of this blog?
What do you want me to write? Just a post about the latest band in Sydney? Melbourne? Perth? Anywhere in Australia or even the world? Yeah perhaps. When I have the time.

I also find this easier than faceSpace to post up photos around.
Maybe it's just a daily rant that I need to get out.
What do you reckon?
