-Updated 31 Aug 2005-



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

Lots of gossip and hugs and bum pats on the Perth board.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Alice: Haven't caught up with Miss Gayle in ages.. How was your lunch? Hmm, looking for a new job? hug

Fi: mm.. I liked Camden for the spectacle of it all, but shopping in the uk's crazy. Damn pounds. People watching's fun though- I remember seeing the coolest trike.. if that's what they're called. Like a Harley, but with 3 wheels, the front one was massive. Had a big grey bearded fella wearing brown leather and a fuzzy eared cap, and a similarly dressed girl on the back.. looked like vikings.. tres cool. cool Might have to visit the Perth boards if only to read your articles!

Gnor: Bumpats? I'll so miss out.. what do you do to the bumless ones? Hugs are cool though hug

Lou: Happy belated Valentine's you hug Since when did we ever stick to chronological dates anyway? Just because the calendar says it's February 15th doesn't mean it's really February 15th wink

hehe I thought the same thing actually. White sand and blue water. I'd probably have some pina colada type drink too. Actually read some review of a book where a lady was on the smallest possible island and gave up a city lifestyle to catch lobsters.. mmm lobsters wink

Mandy: Barbecued chicken is so much better than barbecued kiwi.. tsk! To get rid of excess i just hold the ends and beat the thing on the ground a bit.. Used electric guitar string and it actually works well, though you don't want to keep the hot part of the flame on it too long. Once it's glowing, it loses it's flexibility..

ubblol! And there I was thinking you were buying girly stuff.. cool

Brian: Man.. Your fireorb was pretty hardcore! Actually.. that gives me an idea.. imagine if you could actually connect your poi and orb them about before spinning.. hmm.. probably not extremely practical.. but just an idea..

Sweet? :blush: Well.. I knew that my recently unusually high sugar intake would surely be good for something ubbangel She's a real sweetheart too, and I'm sure you tell her all the time wink hug

Hey, happy birthday btw! beerchug bounce bounce2
