Of all the things to televise...
I was randomly flipping through the four channels I get on my next to useless (but still appreciated!) TV last night, and I discovered something...interesting. I wasn't sure if I should laugh...or vomit. The channel is 31, and it's like the community events channel (read: crap) and it looks like on Saturday nights they play what they call 'Club axes' which translates on the screen into televised raves from nightclubs.
Now okay, speaking as a wannabe child of the scene, that might sound like a good (okay it would never sound like a good idea, but I think 'in theory' it could be cool) idea, but from the looks of the execution...eeeeeshhhh.
It's like they grouped all the 'we can't dance' people together for the camera, when it was actually on the floor at all, while all the real party kids were...well probably at another party in the basement of a rugby club or a skatepark, very far away from the prying eyes of the five people who watch prerecorded televised raves. (okay, so I am one of those people now too, but only as long as it took me to realize that 'oh, so all you're gonna do is show lazers...people kinda hopping up and down...and then the DJ's for like twenty minutes? By the way, these were two of the dullest DJ's I have ever seen. Imagine those old guys who try to pick up girls at nightclubs being DJ's.)
"This is indeed a disturbing universe."
Looking like I've got a job. It'll kinda be like working at a really tiny Winners with no managment and much better pay. Sounds okay to me. I'll do (next to) anything if it pays $16 and hour. This country may not know how to pronounce 'debut' (it's day-byoo not day-boo you freaks!) but they sure now how to pay their employees! That means back onto the drink buying bandwagon for me (as soon as the job starts, as long as I ain't counting my Kokaburaa's before they hatch X fingers crossed)
Someone very intelligent has pointed out to me that the decisions you make at this point in your life are probably more vital than in any time previous. This is feeling to me like that pivotal kind of time, the time that dictates whether or not you can really go on and chase after those pipe dreams of yours or relegate yourself to a life of retail fueled drudgery. Everybody I know out here AND back home still has all the chances in the world to make thier lives into what they want them to be, as long as you don't have crazy life commitements already like Kids or something else. As long as you are still free in your life, you can make that difference and 'turn it all around' like I've been saying. (I think this wild uplifting hard core music is getting to me just now, it always sends me back into those crazy E highs when if you wanted to fly yourself and all your closest friends to the moon, it didn't seem like that daunting a task.) It's just kinda scary to think that after this 'time' (whatever the duration on that period is) things become more settled and more...I dunno...more difficult to change what comes next. I've started making plans for a future, and I don't even know what that future is but I have the chance to start making it what I want it to be. I don't think I've ever really realised that before, That my future really is up to me and what I want to do with it (okay, this is TOTALLY E fueled. I feel like I should start feeling up my pants and stroking everyone's hair. Although I wonder how Jen the girl next to me would take to that?) So okay. I'm gonna go and make movies. (films, sorry) I'm go out there and film shit and have people sit down and see the world the way I see it, however that is. I'm gonna go and tell stories pulled from my life and the lives of my friends, tell stories about my life and my friends, and tell stories about shit that I totally made up but sounds cool anyways. Cause if it all works, HOLY SHIT! I got to do exactly what I wanted, make movies and tell stories. And if it doesn't then it doesn't, but that wouldn't be any different from right now would it? So I guess the best option is to go out there and give it a fucking try anyways? If you do what you love the rest will fall into place, so someone who is very dear to me told me once.
I gotta go find a dance floor and lose the fucking plot. I'll catch up with everybody soon. (by the way, please start posting again people, Jimmy1369 just isn't as interesting as...well anyone else I know.)
Woo! safe as fuck!
