All out of exams & at home got no bikes now - MTB rest in peace? lost at sea? what can do for it? walk back & collect it? Do what at home? can draw books? write on paper? meet friends at night in city? Listen to Bartok?

reviewing instant rambling philosophies of 2008 moleskine (molenski) (no longer interested in spontaneous prose but now religion and enlightenment):

be quiet & reserve your judgement not showing alliance to any preference. so why make believe to the hay & hoi & show out a true lion graph -PRIORITISE:

- stop & rethink your establishment
- conclude what's best to do first
- allow 90 minutes to just breathe
- dont abandon the gratitude of an uninhibited reflex arc
- allowing yourself to complain illustrates some source of delusion of thought
- students working hard get nowhere
- allow plenty of time to do nothing
- if you are doing something you are not doing nothing
- it is now your most important recipe

give up your career as a craftsman. it kicks you out too much. instead look at the sky until the stars appear (backwards)

& forever go home on bicycles

& always sit in empty chairs

& key music on the keyboard

denial bargaining anger depression acceptance

elaborate systems exist everywhere

THE WEEKEND OF ALBERT'S WEDDING:

On Saturday I got up at 5 and packed up some things in my bag. The street corner I waited in dark with cold wind waiting for taxi to pick me up - wearing shirt and pants. Melbourne mom & dad met me drove me home. I did not sleep much the night & was v. tired. I slept at home for a bit then we drove out to where the wedding rehearsal was. It was the weekend of albert's wedding. Albert & Nikki eventually came. Did that then had a long lunch at the luxury man's rich club. When got home I needed to sleep - I did. Albert was there when I woke up. He gave me his film SLR. Ate dinner slept. Sunday went off to fancy lunch with Dan Brisko & Best-man. Another big bean dish on a plate with eight dollar potato ploppers. We then put on our million dollar suits. Went to the wedding ceremony - Blam. Albert got married. All the people came to see.

Walked in the park taking pictures of bride, groom, ate more chocolate cream pies, danced some boogie-woogie. All over suddenly. Albert Nikki leave. Everybody goes home.

The next day I get up early & come to Adelaide here- back home here again.

officially not answering any emails til next monday... unless they're interesting - got a few too much dental teeth machines on my table - need to grind something unregulated - porkchop sandwiches! I nearly set a microwave oven on fire last tuesday. I got one more assignment ever, due in 2 days; I got one more exam ever, due in 4 days. Bastard dental magazine to edit, then not long til I subtract myself from this city. I walked past the bike park today & saw dudes riding. I walked through the city & said hi to tara brown sitting at a venue. Im gonna make my way to library now for completion of tasks then debate eating midnight o connell street delights from the 10pm super market - PEACE YO YEP.

technicalities of LIFE... depression of everyday affairs - stress of daily living... nah not really. go out party every weekend til death do us out or away - or grow

john - where art thou
