Thursday 8:45 AM and counting

Last Day for 2 weeks!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
At 3pm we go to the pub for free beer!!
Why do I dislike shopping centres? What is it that attracts thousands of people to squeeze into a building and spend so much time together in discomfort? I ask you.
Anyway, looking forward to consuming copious amounts of beer...

IDEA!

Maybe I can get them to deliver a big box of donuts to me???

A donut a day...

I hereby dedicate the rest of my days to becoming morbidly obese. Not through eating just anything though...no, this plan will be executed through the mass consumption of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (that's how they spell it). Sunday 19th December 2004. The time was around 6pm. I open the fridge and remove box and with a quivering hand remove the top. An audience of twelve delicious donuts stare back at me, their eyes wide with terror as I...hang on! donuts don't have eyes...
Oh well, I proceeded to taste each one taking a bite and savouring the delicious flavour that is KK. I ate 8 donuts in that sitting. I think my stomach gave up but my tastebuds were yelling for more.
There is a sad element to all this joyous munching. There is no KK in the state I live in, the closest being a short 2000km drive away. The sadness that engulfs me when I realise that eating more of these delicious little lard parcels is but a dream. Oh well, I'm sure my heart will thank me. Below is the proposed before and after.

Monday 2:07 PM

Hello.

A weekend that turned out to be too short. Three days would be more appropriate. I had the wonderful opportunity to taste Krispy Kreme donuts yesterday, a whole box!
I am lost for words at how much I enjoyed them. I will post something tomorrow about this new vice in my life.
Until then...A request from Jenn (as you can tell I recycled a pic...I'm lazy)

6 days to go...

6 days and I go on holidays. I hope to have my computer going by then so I can keep all my readers (Jenn) up to date with any late breaking news!
Other than that, I'm trying to think of a subject that I can draw. My brain seems to be on standby today. Nearly lunchtime, and today we have a succulent assortment of ham sandwiches...
On Sunday, my dear sister-in-law is delivering a box of Krispy Kreme donuts all the way from Sydney. I can't wait to dig my fangs into those delicious donuts. Mmmmmmmmmm
it's also my darling wife's birthday on Sunday. She's the big 30. We are all so old...

Tomorrow Caitlin is 19 months old. She is the most wonderful thing I have ever laid my eyes on.
Anyhoo, Here's a quick comic about the Beelzebub on a bike...

7 days and counting...

This time next week I will be 7 hours away from a 2 week holiday!! I'm trying not to get too excited but spending two weeks with my wonderful family will be awesome.
Thankyou

Will Wayward Wednesday Wilt Wonderfully?

I had the day off yesterday. I was sick :P
My computer is still not working and I am starting to believe that maybe it is the ghost I called a bastard. So, My friendly ghost, you're looking extremely well today if not a little pale. What a great ghost you are and as you're reading this over my shoulder as I type it, I was wondering if you could find it in your heart to fix my computer? I also promise that none of the many respondents to my posts (Jenn) will defame you in any way.
:)

Tuesday will be cancelled

Crud.
My computer has died. An evil electricity spike has made short work of my hard drive and motherboard...
I now need to spend a fortune on a new system. crud.
Other than that, work is giving me a headache and I'm tired.
Oh well, back to it.

Monday 11:44 AM

The day seems to have slowed. Is it me or are there now 80 minutes in every hour? This is bollocks. I have so much work to do, so I decided to stop and confide in my blog. This place sucks.
My daughter can now count to three. She will be 19 months old in five days.
Time only seems to slow down during working hours. As soon as I get home everything speeds up until I walk through the doors and start all over again. Maybe I'm just going insane. Anyway, I'd better get back to it.
Damn ghost is watching the screen as I type...Rude bastard!

Monday is never fun...

And so it begins. Monday morning and typing on a keyboard in a place I wish I didn't know. I wait and hold my breath for the days events.
Should be interesting...

Here's photo I manipulated with the original in the top right corner.

AWOL

What a dastardly surprise! It's been 1 month since I've updated.(Sorry Jenn)
I must be the slackest person on the face of the earth. Work has been hell to deal with. Most of the people who have been annoying me and causing me grief have been sacked! This is good news, the only problem being that they haven't been replaced thus I'm having to do three times the work. I suppose this is my excuse for not updating my blog.
This doesn't mean I haven't been reading blogs though. On the contrary, I have been keeping up to date with all that is interesting and ever changing especially rockst...I mean Jenn's blog.:)
Anyway, Hopefully things will get back to normal now. In the meantime I need to find another job because I'm sick of this one. I also want more money as I just bought an airconditioner for my daughters room. Not cheap but she is comfortable which is all that matters. Until tomorrow (Hopefully :)) have a wonderful day filled with amazing sights and sounds and maybe some little green aliens too.


Here's a self portrait of when I'm angry.

Slack

Oops. I have been extremely slack.
Actually my computer broke down for 3 days but seeing i work in front of a computer all day that should be no excuse.
In 6 days my daughter will be 18 months old. I can't believe she is turning 2 in 6 months!!!
Life travels too fast.

have a nice day
:)

Wednesday Evening

Hello one and all. I am extremely angry at a group of moronic placebos that I work with. Not only do they frustrate me with their lack of skills and undisciplined rhetoric but they feel they have these larger than life personas that they have to maintain on a daily basis. To you I say...Go to hell. simple.

My daughter has started feeding her baby doll and giving her hugs. She is wonderful. All children are.

Good night.

The Dance of the Stands (reprise)

This is part two. The hat stand has left the building. Unfortunately it's not permanent.

Friday 9:11 AM

Here is another entry exactly 12 hours after the last...weird.
I want today to be but a fleeting memory. In another words...hurry up and get it over with already. Here's a pic I did for my daughters bedroom wall.

Thursday Night 9:11 PM

I've spent the last two night doing my taxes online. I thought I would give it a go and save some money on an accountant. Yeah right. I just went to upload it and it's been refused because I was late last year... The system really sucks sometimes. When frustrating shit like this happens, I've noticed that if I quietly sneak into my daughters room and watch her sleep, everything becomes good again, if not brilliant. She is so beautiful and perfect sometimes I wonder if it's all a beautiful dream. If it is then I don't want to wake. I've drawn a picture for her of a plane. She loves planes and I know they would make an appearance in her dreams so I'll hang it over her bed. Anyhoo, till tomorrow may nights be dark and days bright.

Unpleasant Wednesday

I've had the unpleasant misfortune of running into a person that I dislike immensely. Not only did she try and hide her own incompetence by putting everyone around her down but she put her hand on my back in a pseudo friendly gesture. So, I dedicated my break to drawing a portrait of her.

Friday update for Jenn

Here it is. The Update...
update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update update whew! that was hard work.

Wednesday

Another day: Welcome to the past. Some things you take and carry with you, others wither and fade like a dying flower.

Tuesday is today...

Another fellow staff member. Make yourself at home.

Thursday and all's well

4 hours of writing reports...I'm a photographer for christsakes! Anyway, here's a donut I did during my break. Just like the real thing only flavourless...

Wednesday I think...

My GOD! How can I be this lazy? All I have to do is write a little entry but NO. I have to sit back for OVER A WEEK and not update once.
Here's a pic of my daughter.

Friday at last...

I have been slack. I haven't updated much this week. I wish it were friday afternoon and not morning. I suppose I should do some work now.
:(

Tuesday part II

Here is a cat I did for my daughter today. I'm going to hang some of these drawings up on her wall for her to kiss goodnight before she goes to bed.

Tuesday comes but once a week

Hello.
The most important things first. The Election...only kidding. My Daughter is 16 months old now. Her hair is becoming very curly and new teeth are appearing all the time. She has started making the sound of a Rooster, which she is very proud of.

Like the US election, the Australian election is also coming to a resolution. All the monotony and drudgery of political rhetoric will end. At least for a while.


VSS (Very Short Story): The was this guy who found himself in this fantastic job. This was the job of a life time. He was making really good money and the prestige associated with his position gave him access to areas he never would have dreamt possible. Life was good. There was a small problem though, only a really small one that caused a niggling feeling in the back of his mind at about 2am every morning. He had no idea as to what he was doing. He had fooled all those around him but realised there would be a time when that would stop. He would be found out. That time is at hand. To Be Continued...

Monday's Reality

He hides behind a facade to fool us and himself.

Saturated Saturday

The art theme for this weekend revolves around a fellow work colleague. Here it is...

Friday Follies

My daughter is saying "Hello" and "Up" now. She loves to make monkey noises as well. This is a monkey I did for her recently. She also likes lady beetles.
2 hours to go and I get to go home...

Thursday Addendum

Crawling through crevices and dirty holes to conceal the reality. You can only fool those around you for so long. I hate to think what damage is being done as you wield your ignorance around you. This is the artwork I created for yesterdays anomaly.

Thursday is better than Monday

Hello,
I have decided to vent my frustrations from yesterdays anomaly through my art. I am currently working on a piece that I will post here when it's done.
Other than that, the weekend is one day closer and my daughter woke me up this morning with a kiss on the cheek and a finger up my nose. Life is good.

Wednesday Addendum

Bitch Session No. 396: I have had the unfortunate experience of chatting to a fellow employee who was gracious enough to comment on some of my semiotic analysis I do for an artist. Her comment was "What a load of shit, you must have been really stoned to write such crap". To this I say: I am sorry that my writings didn't compensate for your trivial and miniscule mind. I would have thought that someone with your 'creative flair' in writing would have appreciated words with three or more syllables.
Anyway, my boiling blood has subsided to a mild simmer. Maybe I should do an artwork on her.
Good Night.

Wednesday is my friend

Hello.
There is a ghost in my studio. For the past few months, the door to my studio has been slamming shut for no reason at all. There is no wind and the hinges on the door are not as freely moving as you would expect. In another words, it takes quite a bit of force to close the door. Yet it still slams shut with quite a force.
Having said all this, I have to be the most cynical and unbelieving person on this earth. I have tried putting up pieces of sail cloth to see if there was a gust of wind (which would be extremely unusual in itself as my studio has no windows). The other weird thing is that it usually slams shut at around 2pm everyday, not all the time but most days. Seeing this is a photographic studio that I work in, I should set up the camera with a motion sensor and photograph the door slamming, though I would probably need to do this with infra red or ultraviolet to pick up any unexplained things.
If I capture anything I will post it on this site. Till then I will be as skeptical as ever and blame it on....something.

Tuesday's Half Price

Sometimes I feel that I am taking 3 steps forward and 8 back. I can see a huge amount of mistakes being made around me, yet I say nothing because it would make me come across as being arrogant or out of my depth. So instead I play the role and stick to my lines in this comedy of errors.
I had the chance to see Super Size Me on the weekend. Whilst it was critical of the food industry as a whole, I think it simply highlights the fact that you have to be ever vigilant of what you eat. Multinationals will not and never have had your best interests at heart. So with that in mind...beware.
Thats me after an allnighter at maccas

It will stop

Here is the sadness that will afflict us all at time or another. The day our heart stops beating.
I am continually amazed at the way people treat their bodies. The most prized possession without which we don't exist is bombarded with chemicals, fat and physical abuse. I created this artwork in response to a person who is going out of their way to end their life in a socially acceptable way. I see it as a slow suicide.

In the beginning

Hello and welcome...
Here it is, the rant you have all been waiting for. Maybe not.
Being my first post I suppose I should say something profound or enlightening...
Don't cross the road with your eyes closed.

There you have it.
till next time...
