Well folks, the time has come.
After much deliberation, consideration, consternation defenestration, discombobulation, and of course, a touch of constipation - I shall be hopping on a plane and disappearing off the grid for a while. This does not mean this blog shall vanish, by all means no! For all those masochists, you can feel all nostalgic and vomitous at the same time!
To be vaguely aesoteric, I've decided to go north and find myself. That's right, I'm becoming a stinking hippy - no phone, no interweb. "But what has brought this on, did we displease you..?" I hear as a cry in the darkness. Ignoring the fact that it was meant for someone else, I shall proceed nonetheless.
A long long time ago, when I can still remember how I had to sleep on the couch, something in me clicked. It poked me, prodded me, kicked me in the cerebellum (which by the way, I wouldn't recommend) and farted in my general direction. Finally this year, after a temultuous household of artists and crazyness and intrigues, I was convinced that I needed to drop everything and get back to basics. And I mean REAL basics, like when I spent time growing up with my cousins in country Victoria. It was an epiphenous moment. And now the time has come.
But as with all great plans, just before you're about to take the trip, everything happens at once. You'd think that they all had this time to let me deal with them, but no! Now with less than three days left, I feel like I can't go - but the commitment has been made. The flight booked.
Firstly, I met this lass. Those who've read my blog know that I'm hopeless when it comes to selecting partners, but I tells ya folks, this one's a keeper! So what's the down side, I hear you ask? I met her less than a month ago. I tells ya kids, it's all in the timing. She's smart, funny, intelligent, DOWN TO EARTH, RELAXED, caring, kind, sexy - you know, a keeper :) I'd go on, but for two reasons: this post will become all about her, and I don't want people to vomit on their keyboards!
Ok, next biggie, a friend who I haven't spoken to since Canberra days called me out of the blue the week just passed and we chatted ad nauseum for a while. And then she admitted she was depressed and had had suicidal thoughts. And lives in Melbourne now. Well I've contacted friends down there to hopefully give her a support group, and told her she could call my mother any time she wanted... *shakes head* timing...
Finally, things for this animated short a friend and I were working on suddenly shifted up a gear without warning, but thankfully he understands my need to do this. He's truly a good friend and I wish him well. Unless he goes on with the film without me, in which case I hope it bombs.
Stay beautiful people, give hugs with reckless abandon and brush your teeth!
Peace out :)
