I feel so deviant. Only took like 3.5 years... That's an average of one every 12.7 days!

In other news, I'm building a website, the purpose of which is to map the location of all scone retailers on Google Maps, so that, whenever you want a scone, you just tell it your current location and it finds you scones. Will even do reviews and so on...

Also, survived first semester of new uni degree. So far so good...

1. I am rather tall. 195cm / 6'5"

2. One day I hope to get my Private Pilot's License

3. I like Abba, and I'm sick of having to defend why they're a good band.

4. Oranges are probably my favourite fruit

5. Meg is the most talented artist I know

6. I used to be addicted to World of Warcraft

7. I don't know what I should major in at uni, and I'm running out of time to decide.

8. I often appear to be confident when I'm actually not.

8. People I'm tagging, though I don't expect any of them to reply

You can't throw terms like that around!

Damn it people, stop diluting the already watered down significance of the one thing that has any God-damn serious meaning in my life.

As far as the artworks I love? I mean really love? There is one. Drowning Girl by Roy Lichtenstein. Like any love, there are many reasons for it, none of which would make sense to anyone other than me.

I'm not really a photographer. I'm a web designer. I just have a nice camera, and like to snap away. Oh the humanity! But it's true.

I don't put my web prototypes on dA as a general rule because when I sign off on a site the design becomes property of the client. Well I guess this is also a plug for me, I know there are many people out there aspiring to enrich their web skills, and being the nice person I am I'm happy to help them out. I see a lot of MySpace layouts out there that look terrible, and MySpace + CSS I think is where many people first encounter web design. It's disappointing to see people sacrifice integrity of design to attempt to get to an unreachable end-result. I'm sure many of the people on MySpace with badly styled layouts had a much prettier picture in their head, but lacked the ability to execute it.

So feel free to ask me questions about web design, HTML, CSS, or even JavaScript, VBScript.

Sorry, my journal entries are never really about... stuff. But more, things. Things are better than stuff anyway.

Well to conclude, eat kebabs, drink beer, be happy. To quote Lazlo, "It's better to burn out than to fade away."

Your friend and mine,
James

So now I'm here (or there, depending on where you're sitting), bored out of my brain, minding the house. Rest of the family saw fit to scatter themselves about the continent. Yep... pretty bored. Maybe I can still swing by the bakery...

Well Christmas was fun, and I'd like to wish you all an even more belated Merry Christmas, and if you object to me wishing you a Merry Christmas on the grounds of political correctness, take this token, it's good for one screening of the new smash hit film "Go Fuck Yourself". If you object for more philosophical reasons, please, I mean no offence other than to wish you a period of prosperity and happiness, and your disapproval of my general wellwishing is noted.

In other news I've decided that most of the stuff that's going to appear on my dA account in future will be photography. This is because a) Most of my design work is done for clients and it would be unethical for me to offer it for free and under my own copyright on this page, and b) I upgraded from my old Sony DSC-P72 3.2mp camera to the fantastic, sexy, and all-in-all orgasmic Olympus E-500 Digital SLR (8.0 mp - now featured in my avatar!). How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Here's a story I wrote for no particular reason. It alludes to no thruths about myself nor anyone. It's fiction.

Untitled

By James Ducker

Dedicated to Andrew, 'cos if you weren't away from MSN i would never have written this!

"Hey."

he said, weary of the illness that had overcome him.

His skies were darkest on glorious summer days, memories of times gone by spent basking in the sun embittered by his wretched shortcomings.

"James" a voice whispered from afar.

Ahh that voice, sweet as honey, soft as a cloud, yet always clear and crisp

"James!" the voice repeated

I awoke to find myself in a room, lifetimes away from those sunny daffidol spotted meadows

Bed, drip, and her

she was here

Why I did not know. Memories of vicious arguments and threats came flooding back

what fool would ever do what I had done to her. The dunce, the joker, the petty theif. These were my only kin now

Yet she was there

"Why?" My voice was weak and raspy, yet the word- that word uttered so often by so many, sprang forth thriumphantly.

She looked down upon me

I could feel the warmth of her body radiating through the bed sheets. She was sitting now.

"James," she began "I love you, and it will take more than an argument to change that."

A glimmer of light found it's way to my eyes. Surely she would see the sparkle and know that I loved her too.

As defeated as I may be, her love gave me strength enough to sit up. My eyes to hers, we began to converse. Slowly. For that was all my shaken mind could handle for now. Soon the time would come for retribution, but until that time comes it is said that nothing could ever break your heart

Like a warrior fallen in battle, I felt the last few rays of irridescent light strike my body. The light soon faded.

I awoke some time later to an empty room. She was gone. My heart began its long plunge into infinite darkness, but was caught by that soft hand that had run its fingers through my hair countless times.

A note was placed next to my bed.

With my strength steadily increasing I was able to take it from it's resting spot and pry it open.

"Mr. Ducker, I write you to inform you that we are in possession of your greatest treasure. We will contact you shortly, but until that time it would be unwise to contact anyone regarding this matter.

Sincerely,
T."

The time for retribution had come.

fin.
(fin is cliche but film noirish, innit)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Well enough of that, back to my life. Yeah so well Semester II of uni has started, sweet timetable: Thursday and Friday off! Mainly because I failed maths *is both happy and annoyed but more happy*

And uhh, still with my girlfriend that's almost 7 months now, and still going strong, even though sometimes I'm a dick and don't stop playing computer games when she calls! She's so understanding, sigh. . .

Uhh, other than that, been good, got a bit of a cold. And am building a hot new computer so games and photoshop finally don't laaaaaaag!

Anyway, here I am, back again.

...That was a lie to get you hyped, I'll be most likely dormant for another month or so until semester or something finishes. I got a lot of stuff from design classes but can't be bothered/don't have time to scan and post it all (and anyway some of it is HUGE! How can I scan A0 with my lil A4 scanner eh eh??? NO THATS RIGHT I DONT THINK SO!

Yeah so I saw Henry Rollins Live the other night. Here's the gist of why he claims it would be dangerous to let him lead any country (including Australia)...

Hello? Yeah...get me the leader of Indonesia...
Hey, what are you, president or something? Yeah hey, yeah thats right I'm John Howard...shut the fuck up and listen a second. You know that Corby chick? Yeah that one, here's what you're going to do. You are going to put her on the next flight to Australi- NO I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF SHES ON TRIAL. YOU PUT HER ON THAT PLANE, OR THE SAS WILL BE DELIVERING YOUR HEAD TO ME THIS TIME TOMORROW. I'M NOT GONNA COME AFTER ANYONE, NOT YOUR POLITICIANS, I'M NOT GOING TO CAMPAIGN, I'M JUST GOING TO KILL YOU.

...I'm glad I persuaded you to see things my way. Good day dickhead. ]]> ~jamesinc http://jamesinc.deviantart.com/journal/5116238/ http://jamesinc.deviantart.com/journal/5116238/ Sun, 17 Apr 2005 22:12:12 PDT

Well, I haven't posted anything lately (got some nice landscape photos coming up though - read on for details) as I've been busy what with Uni starting. I'm doing a Bachelor of Industrial Design @ UNSW (www.unsw.edu.au), which involves a lot of constructing things like wooden yo-yos and hammers (wood and metal modules for workshop safety course), engineering drawings (I <3 this course - Design/Communication), COMPUTER BASICS (hahahaha we all know who is going to top this course of 130 students ...ME!), and thats about it I think. Also joined the PIRATE SOCIETY, the ULTIMATE FRISBEE CLUB, AIESOC (Australian International Student Exchange or some such thing) and the ROWING CLUB (NB: Joined AIESOC and Rowing Club for the free beer. I stopped rowing when I was 15 and I intend to keep it that way. Student exchange? Maybe.
Well anyway I might put said photos online now. Until next time this is James "McJ" Ducker signing off - catch me on STUDIOJ RADIO Fridays from 8-10pm AEST (GMT +1100 (+1000 when DST ends) ).

PS: Sorry for making you read a useless Journal entry ]]> ~jamesinc http://jamesinc.deviantart.com/journal/4426741/ http://jamesinc.deviantart.com/journal/4426741/ Thu, 27 Jan 2005 08:00:57 PST Updates of my life:
1. I got a new printer after my 9 year old HP finally died (RIP, I still love you)
so I bought a cool new Canon and it prints CDs and Photos and was well worth the $200 i spent on it, except that you can only DirectPrint from Canon DSCs (the BASTARDS!)

2. I got accepted into a B Industrial Design at the University of New South Wales (OMGOMGOMOGMOMG) which is good, and whats more I got a HECS place (for those of you outside Austrialia/NSW HECS = Government pays something like 80% of your fees and the rest you pay back out of your taxable income when you get a job). I start Uni on February 28, so this time next year I may well be submitting lots of stuff I've made, but I promise not to abandon my Graphic Design roots, I love it too much

3. I might still go to Design School after Uni, cos I don't want to give up on Graphic Design, and I think Industrial and Graphic Design would go together well

4. New girlfriend, Georgia: very sweet, very perfect, very...*sigh* just perfect. Maybe I'll post a snap of us here if she lets me

5. I'm thinking of buying an 8MP DSC - any photographers out there, give me your recommendations! I might go for less than 8, but the lower cameras tend not to have such advanced image adjustment and capture technology (sigh, I still like my SLR the best, good old pentax, never let me down!!)

6. hmm what else....I finally made a new flash intro for my website, it features music by the Strokes and the music from the Apple "Switch" commercials. See it here

Well that's it from me, I'll let you know how things are after I start uni, not that you care anyway

2. No, I'm not American, so I'm not likely to shoot anyone by accident.
3. There has never been a casualty on an Australian Rifle Range
4. I shoot 300m, 500m, 600m, 800m. No, I don't use a scope, just line up the black dot in the middle of the circle.
5. I have gained preselection for the 1st rifle squad (i.e. top squad)
6. Unlike other school sports where you verse a different team each weekend, shooting consists purely of training which surmounts to the GPS tournament held next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (yay I miss 2 days of school!)
7. Rifle camp goes from today (Monday) until Saturday, from 0830-1630 each day.
8. I found my yo-yo from 5th grade! ...oh wait, that's irrelevant...
9. It's an easy sport, once you get your shooting position right...
10. blah blah blah blah blah mindless crap etc etc etc

Ok, so, day 1 (this is the third rifle camp I've been to in 3 years). I spent the morning marking targets (someone shoots, you pull them down into the little bunker you sit in, put a merker through the hole, push it back up, call the score with a big lollipop thing). BORING! Tomorrow I'm bringing a boombox! So, I missed out on shooting at 300m. Then we weren't allowed to drive to the Malabar Bakery for lunch I missed out on lunch as a result. In the afternoon I shot 45/50 with one bullseye. I might post some photos tomorrow.... Anyway...Mr. Mason (head of shooting) didn't like our laid-back inefficiency, so I found myself running 600m to the 800m range flagpole and back, along with the other shooters (DAMNIT I HAD JUST GOT THE PERFECT POSITION FOR SHOOTING WHEN HE SAID THAT & %#$@%$^$#!!!!!!$%^$#!#&*$^#%@!$%^*&
SO! That happened twice, then at 4.30pm myself and 2 friends went and had Oporto burgers (yummy) for lunch/dinner, and I went home.
