Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

- I'm convinced God has set me up to meet with the coolest people on Earth, so, I figured, let's make full use of that...I mean, what an amazing time, what a family, it's fantastic, really, especially when you're befriending people that you admire and respect and finding out that they even like what you do. It’s like, “Oh my gosh.” Just meeting Claudia Devlin and knowing that she likes what I'm doing is like the coolest award that you can even win. The “Claudia Devlin Has Seen It And Likes It Award.” So cool.
And..I have a lot more things to post from my trip...this is just a quick kudos to Claudia showing me 'New Slang' & the bridge that got totaled in pt. 1 of the deathly hallows..no way to articulate how great that was, so check back....all my best!

Tied to a brick
Sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days were long.
Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
When our kite lines first crossed
We tied them into knots
And to finally fly apart
We had to cut them off.
lyrics from Pink Bullets - The Shins
I'm tired of trying really hard to get that surreal, eerie look in my photos.
I feel as though these simpler photos look better anyway. And, as simple as they are, have just as much meaning.
I went on a walk to day with my friend, Mikey. When we were half way to the spot i was planning on taking pictures at i was like, "DAMMIT!" I had forgotten the piece that i screw my camera in to connect it to my tripod in my car. So, technically i didn't take this, Mikey did.
I think backs are one of the most attractive aspects of the human body.
yes... i saw The Shins. and was THIS CLOSE.
i have adored this band with every fiber in my body since i was 12... and they, of course, were flawless. even BETTER live. how is that possible? i have no idea. and he was drinking apple juice to keep himself hydrated. LIKE HOW CUTE CAN YOU GET?!
sooo, yeah... check that one off the bucket list...
my life is that much closer to being complete.
also, the band that opened for them, Garden and Villas...? honestly, they were perfect. i was blown away at how phenomenal they were. and i got to meet them all afterward, and they were THEE coolest people ever!
About this camera:
This is my summer project. I got this as a birthday present from my grandma two years ago, but I’ve been putting off fixing it. The light seals in the back need replacing and I’ve already purchased the replacement foam off of ebay. :)
So excited to get out and actually use this!

I liked how he did 10 currently favorite songs instead of 10 random personal facts, so:
1) Up Against the Wall - Peter Bjorn and John
2) Esta Soledad - Carla Morrison
3) Basic Space - The XX
4) Excuses - The Morning Benders
5) Sound and Vision - David Bowie & the Franz Ferdinand cover version
6) Let's Dance - M. Ward (also a David Bowie cover)
7) Here On My Own - U.N.P.O.C.
8) Kissing the Lipless - The Shins
9) The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room) - Flight of the Conchords
10) Change of Heart - El Perro del Mar
there are many more, but this list should be cut short.

today was a special day. my best friend and i had planned a birthday lunch for two of our close friends. in their birthday cards we surprised them with tickets to the harry potter exhibition for later that day! my goodness it was so wonderful.
harry potter made up my early teenage years. i was encompassed in this world jk rowling created and i had no regrets. and getting to visit the exhibition and to be in the presence of the objects and costumes i had read about - it was kind of humbling.
it was a beautiful day that reminded me that i really do treasure my friends
time to put the earphones on…
you!
born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
all you want’s one more saturday.
but look here, until then
they’re gonna buy your nice time
so keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
to the day.
you come in doing cartwheels
we all go out by ourselves
and your shape on the dance floor
will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes.
you’d be damned to be one of us girl
faced with a dodo’s conundrum
ah, i felt like i could just fly
but nothing’ll happen everytime i try.
a dual tone under wall
selfish fool and hoped you’d save us all
never dreamt of such sterile hands,
you keep them folded in your lap,
and raise them up to beg for scraps,
you know, he's holding you down,
with the tips of his fingers just the same,
you'll be pulled from the ocean,
but just a minute too late,
or changed by a potion,
we’ll find a handsome young mate,
for you to love.
you'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
you know you'll change your life for any ordinary Joe,
and though your night will go on,
your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.
been in love since you were twenty-one,
you haven't laughed since january,
you try and make this up this is so much fun,
but we know it to be quite contrary.
dare to be one of us, girl,
facing the andrum's conundrum,
ah, i feel like i should just cry,
but nothing happens every time i take one on the chin,
you’re humoring your cote,
you don't know how long I've been,
watching the lantern dim,
starved of oxygen,
so give me your hand,
and let's jump out the window.

Feeling a little frozen, and it's 24-40 degrees c here in Australia...
Oh well. Today I sat at my computer... applying job, after job, after job, every so often watching Youtube videos (today mainly TheAmazingPhil. Hopefully this week will be lucky.
I'm going to make a video tomorrow. I'm so stoked by all the favourites off 'Me In The Room'. Thank you!
Also happy birthday to a fellow friend and flickr buddy: D.
"Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Undeneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason "

Born to multiply
Born to gaze into night skies
All you want’s one more Saturday
Well look here until then
They gonna buy your life's time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
'Till the day we come in doing cartwheels
We all crawl out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes
You’d be damned to be one of us girl
Faced with a dodo’s conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happend every time I tried

It's the New Slang of the times.
For some reason this strikes me as a Garden State moment.
It's scenes like this that give me hope.
