My Medieval one is Lord Peasentsbane, given to me by Lord Wenchdrought (I made that up 'cause it's been awhile...)

Anyway! Here I am again, after like, six weeks? Who's counting? Come on, put your hands up.

In a few weeks I will hopefully be upgrading like... everything. From dial up to something more wireless. Might even buy myself one of those subscriptions... But probably wont.

Can't stay, I have films to shoot and storys to film. The studio ist MEIN until the 19 or something lame like that.

On a totally unrelated note, can anyone help me move hot TV equipment in a hurry? BYO Truck. Cash only.

Well... As you were.

In the past six months I have:

Filmed over 150 music videos.
Interviewed approximately 300 people - 95% of which were live on national TV.
Made dozens of short films and pieces.
Made my first short film for cinema - which will be screened for the first time this Friday.

All of this done outside of school and Uni and all for free.

Exploit me.

But there's nothing you can do about it, you can't rock on over to Life's house and kick its ass. You just have to make life better.

If I were to rob someone and they knew it were me, they would get me back for it. But life is the one thing that lives outside that rule.

So here I go, making life better because I have no other option.
Life's great? Well it will be when I'm done with it!



For her.

So what did I do? I turned it down. Like I had a choice, if I'm spending $7,000 a year to study, I can't spend a 5th of that time somewhere else.

Uni's looking better by the day...

Its still better than Auckland University though.

L.S.D anyone?

1. Laura Tagged me.
2. I dislike being tagged.
3. This is my second time I have been tagged on dA.
4. I still dislike being tagged.
5. Laura is gonna get it, for tagging me.
6. Tagging is a waste of time.
7. So I wont put any effort into it.
8. Tag end.

I'm a nice person, I'm not tagging anyone... Yet.

Think about it. "Horns and thorns."
Yeah, real peachy.

We see the humble Unicorn as an image of tranquility.
It is a physical, manifestation of pure peace. Right?

Wrong! Its a horse. Now what do people use horses for? Full frontal cavalry charges and most importantly, (my favourite pass time) Jousting. Yeah ok, so lets stick a pike on its head - thus making a violent animal more peaceful.

What else has a bayonet on its cranium?
The german WW1 uniform had a spike on the helmet. Yeah, peachy.
The Narwhale, I don't see anyone wanting to ride that thing.
The Minotaur. Twice the horn, double the tranquility?

The bull, the goat, the devil, the entire Cervidae family.

And finally, the Rhino.
Have you ever seen one of them in a good mood?

-Johnny Out!

So since none of you care about my work, I'm going to bombard you with pictures of Holly in a wide angle lense. Or maybe just a regular lense.

Whatever, pictures of the dog are coming.

Enjoy (something).

Enjoy.

Oliver turned up and filmed it.
Also, V came to the party. They gave us 360 cans of their hypo-stimulant serum. I never wanna see another can of V in my life. This is the day after and I'm still on a caffeine high. Naturally, since its saturday today, they tried force feeding us some more V in the studio.
I think my nervous system is more shot than a mouse at a Trivium concert with bombs going off, in the middle of the sun. The sun is on P too.

Not to worry, at least I'm awake... like I was all night.

The best thing is that it was free and the gig broke even!
So what have we learnt? Nothing! Lets do it again!

So anyway, the only words of wisdom that have actually helped were from some guy I only caught a glance of and will most likely never see again. It was back in the days when I was literally days away from being able to sit my learners licence (which I should book sometime soon...). My mate got a new scooter, it was yellow and I called it a "Fagio". Awesome. So I'm on this monument of embarrisment, never driven anything before, and I look at the speedo. It's in Mph. It's also at 60. Now how did that yellow 2 stroke (with less power than a push lawn mower) get to 60 with me on it? Apparently I eat lead for breakfast, so that doesnt help. By the way I was standing up on it, not sitting on its widdle seat and its wobbling all over the road. I lost control several times.

As I get to an intersection I remember there are certain road rules about intersections. I don't know if there was a "Give way" sign or what, I was too busy trying to stay alive. A white van, packed with god knows what and the above mentioned man come up the hill to meet me at the intersection. I'm pretty sure I had the right of way but because what I was doing was only very illegal, I decided just to sit tight. - If youre looking for a fatal accident, I should have warned you earlier that I am still alive. - As he drove past he yelled out the window "Get your confidence up!" I guess I must have looked terrified.

Maybe thoes words stuck with me because the whole situation had me shaken up, because he was the only person out there with me while I was killing myself. Or maybe it was because it actually is worth taking note of. (This is where you say "Well duh!") Since then I have noticed how well things work when you show a bit of confidence (Well duh!). If I'm right about this and I keep doing what I'm doing. I might be able to prove it. Wait and see.

As for the scooter, we sold it on behalf of my friend. I have never been on one since and I feel much more confident behind the wheel of a 4WD even if I'm crashing into 3 pine trees (long story).

Johnny out!!!!

Now I'm not too flash at networking, so you probably wont see many fav's here. And I will only check my account to add to it to be honest. So don't cry if I don't reply to your coments.

I'll give it a shot, we'll just have to see how I do, yeah?

Oh and if for some reason you are kind enough to fav one of my works. I'll thank you in advance just incase I don't notice for a few months...

All good?
