So here I am again. It's been a while hasn't it. My alto sax initially got a lot of use. Funny isn't it, how a fulltime job takes away all your spare time. Haven't had any time to poi too, apart from Jugglejam on Mondays and the monthly Moonfests. And even then, it somehow seems I tend to play with the stockwhip instead of poi shrug



Another lens has been added to the stable too. A Canon EF-S 10-22 3.5-4.5.. nice and wiide. But it all boils back down to that time issue. Despite having the new lens, I seem to find I'm out taking less pictures.. the folio hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm starting to get the horrible feeling I'm stagnating. Must. Get out of this rut.



If you're my muse and reading this, inspiration needed now. hug



-Edited 14 Dec 2005-



I liken this to opening the fridge to find that jar of misc what's it, several months expired ubblol. Hey how's it going? wave



So what's new! Well.. poi's getting a bit better for one thing. Nice how after poi-ing for a while, you stop hitting yourself senseless. In fact, one might argue how after a certain point, each hit puts more sense into you.. wink Haven't gone skating or rockclimbing in a bit, but that's ok- life's full of wonderful distractions, and really, you can only do a couple at a time.



University's just wrapped up! Yep. A degree in art & visual culture, television & digital media.. Just waiting for a piece of paper at the moment (yay!). And trying to sort out how Australia will let me live here forever and ever biggrin. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is, you so ought to visit *nudge* wink Also been getting out the with photography and stuff- a couple of projects to follow up on, blue skies and puffy clouds as far as I can see.



Updates updates. [insert geek] I've updated my camera gear too.. my 20D, 17-85 4-5.6 IS and 580EX now have a 70-200 2.8L IS to play with.. soon too, riding on getting a particular gig, either a 350D and a 24-105 f4 IS, or another 20D.. -grin- [/end geek]



[edit 14/12/05: Gig didn't go through, and ended up performing at it instead of shooting it ubblol Life has a funny way of messing you about doesn't it.. so no 2nd body for me just yet, or nice 24-105 f4 IS redface]



Been taking lots of photos lately. I think there's something intrinsically beautiful in capturing moments- you know how you look at a photo and it brings you back to where you were that day, who you were with, how the air smelt even.. Maybe one day I'll get to exhibit ubblove.. but yeah.. lots of work to be done meantime.



Hmmmm.. yes the world's beautiful today. It's good to have new toys, new moves, new direction.. old friends hug.. a best friend hug2, and enough distractions not to get bored for too long.



Btw.. favourite words haven't changed.. ubbrollsmile And mm.. I'm still not too close to balletic, and dulcet..



Hmm.. la la la laaa squawk.. footinmouth



[edit 14/12/05: I now have a beautiful alto saxophone- the best use of which I have thus far found, is to attract ducks and other misc waterfowl]



Yep, how about we say still aspiring. biggrin



Hope all's well with everyone- don't be strangers now! hug biggrin

I've been exploring this site a bit lately, and have decided everyone seems like a nice bunch- thought it's about time I said hello. Ryan, 24, born in Singapore, but Brisbane Australia has been home to me for the past 3 years.



I love photography, playing the guitar (if one took a picture of me with my guitar, it looks like I'm playing it- does that count?), getting from point A to B on my trusty mountain bike, inline skating and hockey, occasionally rockclimbing, and just being in good company. I'd also like to add poiing to the list when I stop hitting myself senseless.



Irrelevantly, my two favourite words (I've got heaps if anyone's interested) are 'balletic' and 'dulcet'. 'Balletic', unfortunately, isn't a word I'd use to describe anything I can do, and 'dulcet' is a word I haven't dreamt of aspiring towards yet.



Enough for now, don't be strangers! biggrin

Melbourne's all good thus far!

Also, fingerless gloves (still with individual finger holes) up to near elbow or 3/4 forearm are IMPOSSIBLE to find, even in Melbourne. mad2

Found the Socks Club- the lady insisted they didn't come from her store.. Also checked Sock Shop in Australia on Collins, also checked out Toxic, Off ya tree, & 2 outlets of Dangerfield. I've come to the conclusion that they don't exist other than in my imagination. frown

Hello Ry, how are things?
loving the beanie




Drop-dead tired actually.. just got back from 2 days in assorted buses and trains, not to mention the week of camping in Melbourne winter. About to collapse shortly..

Written by: roarfire


Yes you are quite lovely! smile I hope camping was fun. It was awesome to meet you hug




Lovely?ubblol Hardly, I reckon. But thanks anyway! Camping was great- could have been longer and I wouldn't have complained. Awesome to meet you too biggrin hug

Written by: pineapple pete


hey ry, was mad to meet you last night, your spinning amazed and confused me.





That's quite possibly the best poi compliment I've received! Thanks Petey. Now just to catch up with you on those under leg turns..

Written by: Adya Miriyana


you know what you could do with Ry, an Axolotl. I think they're rather cool actually, i find them a bit intriguing.





Yeah I know axolotls! A friend, Kate, has a few of them.. They're rather odd fellas aren't they! Can't imagine taking one for a walk though..

Written by: DragonFury


I was looking at this in the shops the other day. It was between an axolotl, a turtle or a rat. Lexi and i couldn't make up our minds.




Need a largeish tank though I'd reckon.. No to turtles btw.. they don't smell the best ubblol

Anyway. Hope all's well with everyone!

Then I try....redface sigh.

But i did figure out that another thing that was making it hard (apart from that I am an unco muppet with the learning speed of a tranquilised sloth....) was my crappy cheap socks Got some thicker ones and it started making sense....
