movin' out... and other stuff

I moved out, again.

2011-01-29T23:15:00.000-08:00

Can't be bothered articulating the events that have occurred within the last week, more or less, what to say is, that I have moved into a new place. Here is some Iphoto's (photo's taken with my IPhone)

Something New

2011-01-19T19:52:00.000-08:00

Well, I have a few photo's of random stuff and a few from new years back in Perth, but this is a blog, not facebook... plus I cannot be bothered uploading :) (a colon and a right bracket denotes a smiley face - Craig).

Alrighty then I have new things to update on, to those that do not know me well enough to know the happening's of my life by talking to me.

1. I am now working full time as a cleaner :( (switch the bracket around and you got a sad face - Me again)

2. I paid an exorbitant amount of money to fly back to Perth to spend new years with family and friends, needless to say, I was so drunk I missed new years completely and was out by 10. (damn you pool drinking at 1 in the arvo).

3. Got a haircut. (thankfully not as bad as the super short and bad haircut I had before I left to Canberra which will now be remembered as "disaster cut 2010")

That's about it, oh i also got a room in a share house which I'm exited for, seems an awesome place, update on later, for now here is a photo of me, Robert and Mikey with a bunch of American army dudes in Oktoberfest :P (with a P instead of a bracket, it looks like a face with tongue out to the side - One last time)

Drunk times

Meat, Staples, Flood, Chinese and Cleaning.

2010-12-13T16:34:00.000-08:00

Meat sandwich, booya.

Staples were used to fix my glasses, cheap.

Flood that enveloped half the area, good times.

Chiiiineeeese food is good.

Oh, I'm a cleaner (for the 3rd time in my life)

Cleanliness is next to godliness

2010-12-06T00:18:00.000-08:00

Okay I got the cleaning job, fulltime, 5-9 monday to Friday in the arvo. So I still have the hearth of the day, so I might look into doing tafe day time, or another job during the day.

Anywhosawhatsa, I need a car, selling my old car back in Perth and now need an good automatic. I be needin' a motor ve'hicle to gets me 'round tha' town.

Many Faces

2010-11-29T01:24:00.000-08:00

Craig - Boost Craig - Yo-yo Craig - Prime

Well, these three photo's occurred within a week, my short lived career in the juice industry, my love for yo-yo's, my profiency to dual wield them, and my self absorbed love of taking photos of myself whilst wearing something representing my love for star wars. Goddamnit that silver surfer shirt is pimp.

Art connoisseur

2010-11-22T19:35:00.000-08:00

It is known that I am a bit of a collector when it comes to all things geeky. When I saw this amazingly well painted close up of Captain America, I couldn't resist, now the issue of when I move and have to lug this around with me.

Bobsled

2010-11-22T19:15:00.000-08:00

So yeah, that was fun, I couldn't get the iPhone in a good position to really make it stable to not fly out on the intense speeds I reached on my sleigh. but it was a grand ol' time.

Iphone

2010-11-17T21:50:00.000-08:00

I gots me an Iphone

Craig: 1. Everyone else: 0.

Something stupid

2010-11-17T01:30:00.000-08:00

South park is one of the greatest shows ever, ever. I just watched episode 200 and 201 (episode numbers and title), it was some of the best south park I have seen in a while, including some final closure on old, old, old plot.

Then I watched the three part episode a few episodes later about cartman being "the coon" again and it was insanely great, albeit it being about comics/cthulu, anyone not knowing about cthulu, I direct to the works of h.p. Lovecraft.

Anywhosit, south park is awesome, haven't watched it in a while, spent the day just catching up... oh update on my life, I'm technically jobless, buuuuut I will talk about that later... goddammit, my mouse just broke, i can click and right click, but i can't move the mouse around... annoyed.

car or no car?

2010-11-09T02:43:00.000-08:00

ok, getting a car is currently my plan, even though it is possible to do without, it is also possible to eat cereal with chopsticks. I have been contemplating doing this job i was offered, 5pm to 9pm, Monday to Friday, I was called and said i would call back in a day or two, whether or not I would do it.

pros

Full-time constant reliable pay
Not some job where I'm surrounded by... peppy teens.
I rock the balls at cleaning (inquire of past works)

cons

Its possibly in multiple locations
I don't have a car currently, so bussing and lifts is what I gotta do
As i said Monday-Friday cleaning, that cuts out me Wednesday night dnd.

Admittedly that last one is a luxury. The cons can be pretty much be moot by owning a car (cept dnd, sad-face). What to do, what to do.

Worries

2010-11-01T16:33:00.000-07:00

Holy crap finding an apartment is hard. Well I mean finding the right apartment, and by apartment, I mean share room. So I set up an ad at a website, I got about 6 emails pertaining about accommodation. Only about one of them was written in a form of english that was legible, example of a bad on: Hai tehre hve plcae for yous. 650 months , loking frowrad ro lving whit yous.

Oh I also did my first shift a boost, nice people, ok place (it's one of those that are in the middle of a shopping mall) and ok pay. But I have a creeping fear after I went online and did a little induction course for the job. My non-existent god, the literal rule of the job is to always smile, get people into the boost experience and, wait for it, love to live life! I know being antisocial and weirdly off-putting to people is my natural state, I can be...peppy ... but I am afraid that after a while of being... peppy... that I might crack and drown myself in mango juice, quite possibly the most delicious death ever.

We can all turn on that happy social nice-to-see-you person, but when I do it, I feel bad because I am lying to myself and the to the people around me. I just wish for once I had that boring job people bitch about where they just sit there, instead of being forced that damned corporate culture crap of complete superfluous nonsense. I don't know what I just wrote is sad, true, or both.

Booooooooost!

2010-10-27T17:17:00.001-07:00

Not much to some, but I got a job at boost, huzzah!

Desolate Career Choice's

2010-10-23T01:34:00.000-07:00

Soooo it's the 23rd and i still have no job... shite. It has only been 6 days since i applied to a multitude of places, but still. I know I will get one eventually, but the feeling of trying to get a job is just like getting to a flight to me. I get to the airport, walk all over the damn place to find the right terminal, then check-in, shit myself over the fact my bag is little bit over the weight limit. After paying an extra $20 to get my bag checked (max 23kg, my bag =23.5kg), I then continue to feel my stomach digest itself whilst going through security, always setting off the mettle detectors, sodomised by security, then sit and wait at the wrong gate and then get called over the pa by security that I'm holding up the plane (this occurred in Singapore so it was incoherent babble, then my name quickly said), get there aaaaaand then once I sit down in an inadequately small seet for my tall ass, finally get so nervous over the fact that my luggage may not be there when i get to the destination I can't eat the food given to me on the plane.

And that's what getting a job is like for me, feeling like shit the whole time, ending up with less than what I started with and getting sodomised... ooh, I almost went in a share apartment the other day, but due to lacking a job, juuuuust wasn't a good idea, so I bailed.

I might try getting a government job, it is Canberra, they got some government stuff here right? (lol)

Job Search

2010-10-19T01:23:00.000-07:00

Job searching sucks. Using seek and other job search websites, I become completely lost like a 5 year old in a mall lost by a mother too busy focusing on some new piece of clothing or talking to a friend from more salad days.

I have been gone an embarrassingly short amount of time from Perth and it feels like weeks have gone by, not days. I guess when you have so much more to plan, time becomes very dragged out due to the amount of effort you put into each second.

A car, a car, my kingdom for a car... public transport in Canberra isn't the highest of qualities.

Canberra... Bitches

2010-10-17T04:14:00.000-07:00

I'm in Canberra right now, really tired.

I'm currently staying at my aunt and uncle's place, which is beautifull and the bed is comfy.
Now to establish a to do list, to be completed in order.

1. Get a job (I feel my fathers anguish echoing in the back of my head)

2. Get an apartment (I am not looking forward to the cluster-fuck that is searching for and then proving I'm not some poor daro in finding a place)

3. Education (I still don't know exactly what education, tafe, uni, night class, or even internet educations)

4. Level up (those first 3 thing must have given me lots of xp)

5. Be awesome

Then I win life.

Fashion Sense

2010-10-15T19:23:00.000-07:00

This was taken in Munich at Oktoberfest in September, it was good. I usually don't look so jackassey but i think this photo best describes my fashion sense, which isn't existent.

movement of life

2010-10-15T19:19:00.000-07:00

Hello Internet my name is Craig and I exist, huzzah. Today I'm moving from Perth Western Australia to Canberra New South Wales.

1. yes i know, Canberra.

2. I don't care if you have a friend who lived there and thought it was boring as hell..

3. I'm only taking a laptop and clothing. all my stuff e.g. comics, games and collectibles (yes I'm a geek), are all staying back at my old home.

I know the date of this post is displayed at the top anyway, but I'd like to say that it is 16/10/2010. now if i manage to keep this going for a while, you actually might see change. now let us begin a journey of the cyclical 20 year old bachelor living a very geeky life. I like to call what I'm doing an "Ash Ketchum" Cause every damn time he started in a new region he would always only take his goddamn Pikachu. but yeah that's what I'm doing. I out.
