I'm closing down my life for the next week, I haven't produced a decent piece of artwork in more than six months so here I go. No sex, no drugs, no wine and no women until this piece is done to my satisfaction.

I'm psyched.

why the fuck is it so hard to see that things will get better? i guess it's because there's always the worry they won't.

my family's the only thing that keeps me grounded, i don't want to ruin their christmas.

Love is the drive for all actions – to deny this fact is the core of negativity. Why do we do anything? Regardless of how menial the task is how or seemingly hateful or painful the outcome, love is the force behind all the actions. Take something as disgusting as racism, it stems from a lack of security and regardless of what form it takes it is what you would perceive as a means to achieving security.

People who search for hate (I say search because i don't think it really exists - hate is just an idiotic means to and end) will inevitably be unhappy. Because it’s driven by love and can never truly be achieved. The reason I believe what I’ve said here is because it makes life easier – Accepting that your actions are driven by love in some form or another makes it easier to stay positive. When you stay positive it is only a matter of time before your actions become loving.

It's important to note here that I'm not talking about acts of aggression here, I mean things like school, people, and... Other things. Look for the thing you love about whatever it is you're doing and you'll become happier.

Despite what the emo scene shows us, people do actually enjoy being around happy people, it makes them feel good about being happy. Sounds odd, but if you're around a person who seems depressed all the time, it makes you (or me at least) feel uncomfortable about being happy yourself.

This is an idea on how you could achieve 'the glass is half full' attitude. I dunno how long it'll take, but I've been forcing myself to think like this for about the last 3 months and now it just comes naturally. It has its benefits, the personal descriptions I've been getting from people have changed from 'over-confident jerk-off' to 'high on life' and although I used to think I enjoyed the idea of being this mean spirited character - I much prefer the populace referring to me as nice.

Anyway:


Dear Andrew W.K.

It’s fantastic to finally hear you say everything I’ve been telling people who ask me about your music – I’m sure you have before, but NOW it’s going on my profile!

Anyway, I think to much pressure is being put on people now days, they constantly see images of war, poverty and political un-rest; these are problems in the world they have no hope of changing but are made to feel responsible for. Although the awareness of problems like these is definitely not a bad thing, I think it’s fantastic that you’re doing everything in your power to give people a positive vent for their emotions. Instead of searching for a deeper meaning to the world’s problems you’re giving the people something they need more than anything else - Fun.

I still reminisce about your concert here in Melbourne and bust out the dance moves we all got into during the show. It’s a fantastic feeling that people who just sit in the background and refuse to participate don’t understand; it’s something more addictive than any drug, it’s the hardest thing to start and impossible to stop.

At both of the new years parties I attended I dragged my mates onto the dance floor and tore it up, people gravitated to us and started busting out all kinds of stupid moves. Seeing people throw their inhibitions out the window is a wonderful thing. This is something I really thank you for, I’ve only been a fan for about a year now but before that I was one of the fore-mention people. I was so worried about what other people thought, people I’d never even met and I couldn’t enjoy myself in dance clubs – I turned to alcohol in a big way to try and compensate for my lack of confidence but it didn’t help at all. Now all I need is a couple of beers, friends and some good tunes.

You have a wonderful message and I have so much respect for your enthusiasm, refusing to write off the people who think you’re an idiot and genuinely wanting them to have fun!

Thanks for the message. [refers to his music, not a myspace message]

Dear Demo,

Your words are RIGHT ON THE MONEY! You have a deep and personal understanding of what this all comes down to, and that makes me very, very happy.

Doing what you want, doing what feels good, going out of the comfort zone, and also doing what feels comfortable, are all moves of a master life-liver.

Go all out at every opportunity and realize that I'm always supporting you, like you're supporting me, and this feeling we're both a part of.

PARTY HARD ALL THE WAY and BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY!

Thank you again.

Love,
Andrew W.K.

1. continue smoking: with building pressure from parents, family, girls, friends and financial constraints it's far more difficult to continue smoking then to quit so if I can get through 08 I'll be very pleased with myself.

2. Become uber pro and hax at counterstrike and day of defeat: source. Haven't even baught them yet thanks to mother fucking paypal but when I do I'm gonna bring the thunder.

3. Actually finish a piece of artwork: Sounds oh so simple but with my eratic personality and short attention span even finishing work for uni and my portfolio is a challenge. So if I can finish one piece to the best of my abilities this year I'll be pumped.

4. Help my mummah out as much as possible: easier said than done but i's does love her and now she's moving to my town, were we created all the bass sound.

5. Somekind of long term relationship: My days of sleezy club hooks ups and cliche pick-up lines I never get around to using are over. I'm going to stick by one girl for at least a few months... assuming she sticks by me .

6. Refine my comedic material: I talk to much, I'm going to work on my style, develope it into the less is more kind of sarcasm as opposed the hilarious and perpetual spiel it is at the moment.

7. Get a job: Yeah... end resolution.

8. Accumulate 5 grand by november of this year so that I can take the trip I want over seas that will most likely result in a job in europe somewhere.

9. Get back to the mo'fucken book - 40 pages in and an elaborate plan, I need to finish this shit and well as finish various other essays and what not I'm writing.

10. Watch more movies, read more books, listen to more music: why not?

11. Keep up the party lifestyle.

Most excellent, now i have something to check back on and see what I've accomplished... probably none, except maybe No. 1 and 2.

I will be keeping a diary of my adventures in "the big smoke" which are subject to change/hyperbole/outright lies/cans of solo, at any point. Viewer discretion is advised, adventures are for mature persons only. persons under the age of fifteen should be accompanied by an adult.

Day 1 - monday 23rd : I have arrived in the big city... I went to bed.
Day 2 - tuesday 24th : I enrolled in my university course today... and went to bed.
Day 3 - Wednesday 25th : I went out today and met up with some old mates, after watching a movie I went to someones bed, it smelt strange, so I left again.
Day 4 - Thursday 26th : I walked home today after sleeping in a strange smelling bed and rang a human resource manager... she wasn't in... So I rang back in the afternoon... She wasn't in... It was a public holiday.
Day 5 - Realized Day 4 went very quickly due to Mad Max's presence on free to air TV and thus I started the day by going to bed. I rang back the human resource manager... she went to a meeting... So I bought some more solo... and some chicken... and rang her back... she wanted me to come in for an interview... I was excited... and will no doubt, at some stage go to bed.

Thank you for your time, expect more exciting adventures soon (if you can believe it gets anymore exciting then this). ]]> ~Democat http://Democat.deviantart.com/journal/7366376/ http://Democat.deviantart.com/journal/7366376/ Tue, 20 Dec 2005 17:53:51 PST ~Democat http://Democat.deviantart.com/journal/6977081/ http://Democat.deviantart.com/journal/6977081/ Mon, 07 Nov 2005 01:49:48 PST
Well, I sent a selection of my work off to a university with one of the most regarded design courses in victoria AND I got an interview. I'm not sure whether I'll get a place in the course for next year but at least I'm passed the first round.

My portfolio with all my work in it looks quite nice and after the interviews I'll post it all up here. Although there's a 10 in (what is it now?) sixteen and a quarter million chance of them finding the work in my portfolio I don't want to create in originality issues if it can be avoided.

...Well now I am going to go through the 234 deviant watch thingies I got, thanks for reading. ]]> ~Democat http://Democat.deviantart.com/journal/6293043/ http://Democat.deviantart.com/journal/6293043/ Mon, 22 Aug 2005 00:29:55 PDT
I've been wondering what would happen if my class was shipped off to fight each other on an abandoned island... Hmmm, I know one thing; I don't know ANYONE I could trust 100% despite knowing some really great people at my school.
