Curtain Call
....anddddd it's finally over. A new chapter, a fresh slate. Whatever you want to call it. At the dawn of the new year, and at the brink of the current, shit has come to an end.

Our new home.
Shit has been mad sweet xanga. Many nights were spent meticulously crafting my messages to this world. But it's all been done and milked.
A new angle and a new crowd. SHIT IS FINISHED!
peace.

Goodbye 2009
This is the post that ends all posts for the year 2009. 2010 holds many promises and golden opportunities waiting to be seized. Looking back, this past year has brought about several changes within me and around me.
To start off with, I do admit that I am the biggest closet emo in Melbourne and can only channel these feelings via this blog. Truth. Secondly though, I can safely say that those emo days are no more. Instead, as I have always reiterated countlessly through my previous posts, this 'emo' which you all label, is in fact, not emo. Can't a nigga just vibe on the emotions inside him? Yes, label me as the epitamy of all things dark and disillusioned, but frankly, I believe that everyone feels somewhat empty inside and looks towards my posts to resonate. But meh, I've been playing this game for the past 4 years, and the juice is still freshly squeezed.
As the final post of the year, it is tradition here at somedaysomenights.com to highlight the year's important events and to look foward into our bleak future and make some sort of promise that will inevitably be broken. Or perhaps in 2010, this will be different, as I have always said. lol.
Nonetheless, here are my new years resolutions served up on a silver platter. I'm mad serious about achieving these goals.
1. Achieve $10,000 in 6 months. $25,000 in 12 months. This means no more excessive dollars being spent on random bullshit. Visvim aint no longer affordable.
2. Go cold turkey on a few dirty habits, namely cigarettes and gambling. I'm being serious about these two as well as they are fucking poison to my finances and body.
3. Routine. Sleep early, wake up early.
4. Eat conciously. No more overdosing at JCafe or McDonalds.
5. Lose at least 5 kg. This ties in with the first resolution. At 80kg, I can fit into my dad's clothing lawl.
6. Be more optimistic. Life aint such a drag.
7. Make babies with a certain newbie
These are my resolutions and I'm getting a headstart on them tonight. As a uni graduate (will be in less than 2 months) I aint got no job lined up, no stable income. All I got is a brain and 2 hands to achieve something in this lifetime. I'm not talking about sipping chandon next to pdiddy in the bahamas no more. I'm talking about someshit great. Epic. On a Mt. Everest scale. But yeah, a ferrari and apartments in each capital city around the globe sounds great as well. So does a private jet. Or perhaps my future lies in some hole in the wall chinese takeaway joint that is reknowned for it's hainese chicken. Or whatever.
Whatever lies out there, better watch out. It's pretty funny. Like, I don't even know wtf is going to be happening next year, but I'm happy about that. I'm passionate about the whole concept of nothingness. I guess that's all we need to succeed in life though. Passion. And a black Amex card.
With these thoughts held high at the dawn of 2010, I know some shit is going to go down.
As a final note, this is going to be the final post from xanga. Someday is moving houses to either wordpress or independent hosting.
Cold turkey MOTHER FUCKERS!!!

The Festive Season
My 3rd day off since my final exam finished. Christmas day. This exact time last year I was homeless, living out the back of my car boot. I had less than three pairs of underwear. In the span of one year so many things have changed. It's that time of the year when we look back and analyze each situation and our future aspects. I've come to realize that we are no longer dreaming, only living. We used to think of the big picture, that pimp penthouse on top of Southbank looking at the cityscape, jazz playing in the background and the silouhette of a beautiful lady getting changed as you finish you butt out your cigarette and reach for that 1970 Penfolds Grange bullshit. Instead, we still be slumming. (well, not really lol).
I'm living out my dream somewhat. Well, it is word for word. But that's the concept of a dream - something unachievable, something surreal which drives us forward. When we 'achieve' that dream, then where shall we go? What other doors have opened? It's no longer that simple. Like in yr 12 - get a mad enter and ball it up in uni. I think I stopped listening after that part, which was perhaps the most important. True, a top VCE score meant the world 6 years ago, but nowadays it's a totally different game.
As one of the final posts of 2009, I leave you all with this: where will we be next year? 5 years from now? 10 years from now? Life is a never ending game. There is no level 20 max out. In the span of one year, I moved out and instead of counting the days I work a week, I count the days I get off every month. It ain't a big number at all.

Growing Up
We were all once babies. Held tightly by our parents like little bundles of joy. As our feet grew larger and larger, we became aware of our surroundings. Our childhood memories and observations were locked up, those replays saved for rainy days. But today, we are no longer children, adolescents, or even young adults. This is THAT post. The post where I attempt to shed my boyhood dreams and aspirations and proceed to get rammed up the ass by the giant black man known as 'life.' Each thrust brings about pain, but with pain comes learning. We learn the ropes through the school of hard knocks, not through textbooks.
I am a strong believer and preacher of living by one's decisions and the entailing responsibilities. However, preaching is different from practicing. I talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. But with all things in life, this is slowly changing, evolving rather. They say nothing in this world is certain, except that for one thing. Change is inevitable.
Looking back I used to follow my parents to the shop each weekend. A tiny little hole in the wall located in the Grand Hyatt. There was a little ramp with railings which I would run up and down whilst holding that metal bar. However, each weekend, that bar became more and more reachable and eventually there were no more weekends at the shop. Instead it became weekends at home in front of the TV. Fast forward a couple more years and the shop was no more. There was no more looking amicably at my parents in the backroom sealing deals and counting cash. No more father son sessions at the local pool.
Instead, today I realized, without realizing (if that is possible), that we are no longer the ones observing. Rather, we are the ones being observed. Their shoes became our shoes and this is that scary fact which gives me goosebumps. For these are those memories that were locked away, and only revealed to us like a rotting treasure chest with multiple combinations.
It has begun. Everyone around us is feeling the same. Friends have gone to greener pastures. Deaths have occurred in the family. Yet the world still spins. Nothing can stop this. All aboard or stay stuck at the station waiting for that next train which will never come. Opportunities are endless, yet how do we realize them? We can't wait for them anymore. We must make them.

Get Rich or Die Tryin'
Poker @ Cremorne has reached an all time high with 3 consecutive nights resulting in me being a net of zero dollars overall in the stats and money owing in the pot. Peep xanga.com/pokerhacks for further information regarding who is up, and who is down. However, each time I pick up those two (or four) cards, I am reminded of the parallels between poker and life in general.
Whenever I have a big stack, I have this fear of losing it all. It's like they say, the higher you are, the steeper the fall. However, there are times when one must ignore this fear and gamble. All in on three five suited. One of my favourite cards because they are like a big fat juicy chicken to some people. Imagine carving a freshly roasted chicken. The herbal aromas waft through the air and the first bite is like a carnival of tastes exploding in your mouth. A few bites later and the thighs and breasts have dissapearred. But lo and behold, there lies a fat cockroack festering within the carcass. Big blind special mother fucker.
Life is similar to this in the way that we are all dealt random cards. Some people are dealt pocket rockets, whilst others are dealt three five. We play the players not the game. Perhaps this is the dangerous yet fascinating point about life. If we all played the game, then we'd be reduced to nothing more than walking calculators. As I quote from the biggest loser on pokerhacks - 'sometimes you have to make something out of nothing.'
One can't predict the future. Nothing is certain pre-flop. However, once we are dealt in, we all have a choice. Fold, or perservere. You could be drawing dead to pocket rockets versus your three five offsuit, but something compels us to call, or even go all in, guns blazing like in the wild west. Sometimes though, we get lucky. But against pocket rockets pre-flop, there is undoubtedly a price to pay. Whether we choose to pay or not is irrelevant for three five is our favourite hand, one that is deserving of an emotional all in.
We all live under the same blue sky but our choices are all different. Price is all subjective but there are options that we must exercise. Folding isn't as easy when you know the odds are stacked against you but that attachment to your favourite cards dictates a meaningless death.
This whole post is full of riddles. I'ts not very focused but I wonder if anyone can actually decipher what I'm trying to get at.
Till further ado...

Jigsaw Puzzles
Life is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. We are left with one thousand random pieces and it is up to us to put it together. Accordingly, at the end of our lives we are left with a perfect picture.
That's how I've been living recently. Lots of unfinished projects and dreams.
I took the first step today to attempt to piece it together.
Stage one is underway:
It's amazing how much one can do in one day off work:
FUJI TRACK COMP - shimano brakes and rosselli 17T added today. Doesn't feel like a bulldozer no more.

At the End of the World
Humans used to think that the world was a flat surface and that it was possible to fall into the abyss if one crossed the border. How ignorant they were.
It's like this. I knew I was going to fail the moment I stepped out of that exam hall. And it finally happened. 5 years of living on the edge. Flipping the coin. Shit just got out of hand this time, but it was inevitable.
I'm looking at the landscape surrounding me. Changes are everywhere. It's time for someday to finally move. To a better future? Perhaps. Or maybe I'll fall into that abyss and sleep eternally.
This is the last post. 4 years of my life have been recorded here. But this is not the end. Merely the finishing of a chapter. I'm sure I will reflect upon this blog in the near future when I am at again, another crossroad. Another decision which will reflect upon the rest of my life.
Until further ado, I bid you loyal readers goodbye. A new platform is being launched. All aboard mother fuckers.

Page 42
He played with the idea, and grew wilful; tossed it into the air and transformed it; let it escape and recaptured it; made it iridescent with fancy, and winged it with paradox. The praise of folly, as he went on, soared into a philosophy, and Philosophy herself became young, and catching the mad music of Pleasure, wearing, one might fancy, her wine-stained robe and wreath of ivy, danced like a Bacchante over the hills of life, and mocked the slow Silenus for being sober.
