Due to no longer getting hangovers from my frequent beer-drinking marathons Ive decided to put my mind & body on a 2 week hiatus from alcohol. Full stop. A reward for this monstrosity of an action, other than the ability to think clearer more often, save $ and gain motivation to learn german to not just read their beer labels is this colourful (well it's black & white actually) piece by the French artist mcbess. The downside is a complete realisation that I've been sitting around enjoying myself too much & need to knuckle down into some study again - which means im going to be drinking cheap beer again unfortunately. Plus all my mates havent stopped giving me shit about it either. Its downright silly that I chose to do it during the cricket season as well but that's just how it happened. Ive only got 4 more days to go so not too much longer luckily. The problem is that in my infinite wisdom, I thought it would be a good idea to see just how long I could hold out for - Australia day... ah that's just an extra week, no biggie. Feb 13, Aus v NZ day/night cricket game at The Gabba in Brisbane - at least it'll be a special occasion. Buggers me to be quite honest (does anyone actually read this stuff yada yada yada) but im looking forward to collecting my first piece of art (that wasn't a Christmas present/space neutraliser from my ceramist brother).
As Miss Judd says in Heat, "It's like risk versus reward, baby".

ReplyDeletena mate, dunno if i could handle being a journo :P im working in hospitality at the moment and just realised (last night actually) that i hate my job :D
ReplyDeleteit's not good, really :D
ReplyDeletebut u enjoy writing?
just poetry really. I dont have the attention span for anything that requires constant/multiple sittings - poems can be written anywhere at any time & started/finished in just one go - its much harder to lie in a poem as well ;)
ReplyDeleteMy English really sucks big time and I prefer drama writing and prose, but I've written two pieces for my class a month ago. If you want to, I can publish them on my blog. :-)
