Drunkards

As many of you would be aware, I do enjoy the occasional drink with my friends. This particular night had... quite a number of these occasions. My mate Rob, who is the most hilarious drunk, attempted to play Halo 3 (and by attempted I mean demanded that someone play against him). Hilarity ensues.




Note that at 0:46, rob does in fact get a kill, making the score 15-1.





My other mate, Taylor, was attempting sleep in this room with little success, so at the end of this video convinces Rob to give him the controller with the score at 22-1. Note that despite considerable levels of alcohol, Taylor manages to finish with the score at 25-23 in his favour.

AWESOME!

Mute math mania

I t old you Mute Math mania was coming. Their new album, aside from being one of the only 2 albums ive given a full 5-star rating tot (the other being Sound Awake), 5 of the songs have made it to my top 25 most played. To put this in multiple perspectives, not only have i listened to the album primarily in the car (that is, not counted on the top 25 most played), but from the day i got it (tuesday) to the following monday, I hadn't listened to anything but songs from the album (and possibly a few radio songs while in a shopping centre, forgive me lord darren).



Darren King --> please make babies with me. Or at least let me drink your blood.

final fantasy: VII:2 Bird style

drunk texting

I love sending/receiving drunk texts and drunk phone calls. They are so entertaining to do, and entertaining to read the morning after. Apparently "I" (I wasn't in 100% control of my phone at this stage) told my ex-girlfriend we should sleep together again before she goes oversees. I also managed to send 8 texts to the same person, consisting largely of "kjdgkdfgdfg"

I received some great ones too! For example, when I asked my friend to move to melbourne with me, her response was ""imso there hts hnsne. R karnhuool plaxing thdre but?". Same girl sent "Neg. Lnve u alj jbt 2 drunj 2 goanywhere. Xo" to me last night. Wonderful.

Texting is bearable.... it's when you drunk facebook/twitter/blog when you get into trouble. Digital footprints stick with ya...

bored

I am bored. And i haven't posted a proper blog update in a while.

I have been playing Final Fantasy 7 recently. You know why? Cause it's freakin awesome!!! Sweetest game EVER!

It has such an intricate and well wound plot. There is character association, but because it predated pre-recorded speech, it isn't full on. Nor are you annoyed by the lack of dramatic timing cause it leaves it up to the imagination. It's great the 2nd time around cause I know a lot of what to do and am playing with a lot more strategy.

mute math mania is looming, with the release of their new album.....

coast

So I'm on the sunshine coast and my back is REALLY SORE!!!

I think I fucked it studying for exams badly... Uni always finds a way to fuck me.

The weather is poo but we have a lot of alcohol.

Looking forward to Mexican night. Woo!

PS. Also wishing iBlogger could add images

I'll marry here. I will. Just watch me.

Nointeyn

So I'm almost 19.... wow...

Kind of crept up on me, but i've been in existence for quite a long time. It's been rather interesting...

Uni is creeping up on me now. I figure if I watch 1 online lecture per day (and occasionally 2 on a weekend), I'll be caught up by SWOTVAC. Probably not as good a plan as me going to classes... but i'm working on that.

So it's my last day at Dell tomorrow, too *sniff*. As much as I loved the job and loved the friends i made, i think it's a good thing. I need to cut back. I need more time to study/relax. I'm way to sleep deprived and never have enough time to relax. Plus, it means i can put more time in to Semper. Stay tuned for the 3rd issue, it's gonna ROCK!

Anyway, I've been ignoring the lecture going on in the background of me typing this... but he's in fast forward and is still talking slower than normal people.

But I have been playing 'The Last Remnant" a lot, and the game ROCKS! Kicks the shit out of crappy Lost Odessy, but still doesn't come close to FFVII... and nothing ever will. But the image is 'Torgal' and he is a freakin BADASS!

Kittehz!

Love this video. So Cute!

Gatz n life n shit

So after watching a 7.5 play then coming home to wrap myself up in  quilt and listen to coldplay.... I have become very self-reflective.

At first I thought about my life in general: I have very little direction. I know what I want, I know what I'm aiming for and I know what I'll become and they are all very different things. I'm afraid the life I wont will not provide the life I want to live, so I'm aiming for something that will, but piss my life away so badly that I'll probably lose all of it.

I know, all things considered, that Brisbane isn't the place for me. I just don't know whether I can give up what is here and move interstate (ie. Melbourne). I fluctuate with my feelings on this subject, but I do have some amazing friends and will find it very hard to leave them (we may stay in touch, but it wont EVER be the same). I think it would be quite difficult to pick up a new life...

Then there's my romantic life... or lack there of. I'm not too sure of what it could be: fear of rejection, self-loathing, hidden homosexuality or a combination... but I've been pretty lonely in this facet of my life. Certainly more lonely than I could have been (given the opportunities that have presented themselves). I attribute this partly to things in my past, but I second-guess myself with questions of it being an excuse...

Anyway, it's late and I'm tired...

PS. Gatz is an absolutly incredible piece of work and if it ever comes back I strongly recommend you go see it. In the mean time, go read the book (The Great Gatsby).

Poe Poe

I just wanted to say Poe Poe cause I laugh everytime the stereotypical black dude says it in GTA 4...

But, on that subject, I got RBTd today... And only had one P Plate on. They didnt notice. Dont you love how the do their big speel about what to do. I dont think it is possible for them to put any less effort into that...

Anyway... My body clock is completly messed up... still. Went to bed at 3:30 on friday night, 4 on saturday and 3 on sunday. I should really try and fix it, it's not too healthy. I woke up at 2 today...

And IT'S COLD! YAY!!! I like the cold :) so much better than the heat. At least you can warm up easily...

So... that's it, really. I dont have much to blog about these days. Check back in a while ;)

GJ

This was on seek.com:

Suitable applicants must posses the following criteria:

 

 *   Must own there own vehicle

Your grammatical prowess make me incredibly eager to apply...

dipshits...

What? This totally counts as Statistics study...

Why do I have a gift from someone I hate on my desk? I only just noticed this.

So Debussy is back on, which means only one this: Kiran's half-arsed attempt to study!!! Yay!!! But hopefully I'll be able to kick myself into a routine... I really need to step up my game if I wanna... you know... survive life and stuff.

And it's that stage of the year where I get all emo and self-reflective and stuff. Amazingly it's not too bad this year. Woo hoo! I just need to cycle through the priorities in my life... as usual. Maybe this year I'll actually change. Fingers crossed, aye?

Another news, apparently I get a car if I do well this semester. Not just any car, but the Mazda 3 that I have made mine and grown incredibly attached to over the past year. I love the little thing. It can out-rice V6s (until you hit 80...) and takes corners superbly. Doesn't like speed bumps, though...

Anyway, i really should do some more study before sleep... and then a full day shift! Let's hope it'll be better than today: I spoke to 6 people on a 7 hour shift...

Karnivool

LONG LIVE THE VOOL!

Hi 5, Intel

I mentioned before the speed of the Core i7... check this out:

Windows Live Writer…win?

Ok, so I’m gonna give Windows Live Writer a try… So far, I already hate it for it’s lack of auto-correct, and the fact that it does weird stuff when I press enter. Maybe I’m being too technical for it’s poor little brain…

On the subject of Windows Live, had fun yesterday trying to make a movie in Windows Movie Maker and have it freeze multiple times. Expected, maybe… but I was making a movie of a Demo of Movie Maker, which is kind of the definition…

Also, last night was the first time I’ve been in the valley on a Friday night… sober. It was an odd sensation. But I ate at KOH-YAAAAAA!!! It’s a pretty rad place, especially when the SCREAM every time someone walks in the door, and have the uncanny ability of knowing whether someone is leaving or not. I sucked it up and ate all this weird food like ox tongue…

Then we got Red Bull Gelato which is AMAZING!!!

Anyway, I’m posting a blog post for the sake of posting a blog post. I’ll have something more interesting later. In the mean time, have some marshmallows.

Happy Birthday Lucas William Chapman

Happy Birthday Puke Scrapman

BTW, his middle name isnt William (to my knowledge). I just thought it sounded cool. I also thought pink was appropriately manly for his name.

IT'S DOMO KUN!!!

Fuck the pirate rule, Domo gets AUTO shotgun...

FUCK the pirate rule, Domo gets AUTO shotugn in my car.

Emo Music and YOU!

So I seem to be in a big 'emo music' phase right now.... Not sure why (perhaps something to do with the previous post.... *tugs collar*) but meh, I'm enjoying it.

It's not the depressing lyrics that do it for me (hilarious, they may be) but I love the beats and rhythms of it all. It's so syncopated and complexly interwound... it rocks!

Ashes Divide, Paramore, Karnivool (not really emo, just heavy prog), Kasabian (also prog), Flyleaf (in moderation) Jose Gonzalez, Sufjan Stevens, Cog,  (both more depressinng than emo) etc etc. I'll update this when im at home...

Irrational, emotional, angsty, corny rant (with emo picture to boot)

NB: This was posted at 3am after a night out, so probably not the most sane blog post in the world...

So I'm sick of it. Sick of being lied to, sick of being betrayed, sick of feeling insecure, sick of being messed around. I'm over it.

I went through 5 years of hell in school. Sure, there were good bits, i dont deny that. But it was mostly hell for me, and it screwed me up emotionally. For the better part of my life I have tried to be kind, caring, empathic and affectionate to those close to me and to those around me. I had faith in humanity that one day, somehow, I might get treated the same way.

I always tried to do everything for my friends. To be there for them, to help them with their issues, to cheer them up when they were down, to share laughs and share tears, to have moments and memories to look back on. Corny as fuck (important to note, in this rant), I know, but that's who I am. I did everything I could, even if it meant harm to me. I didn't care, because I knew what it was like. I knew what it felt like to be hurt, to be in pain and have no way to stop it. I knew that they needed me.

So it perplexes me when nothing ever goes my way. This may seem like a usual, teenage, angsty rant, but it doesnt change the way i feel. I finally think things are going my way and then shit hits the fan.

But what is even worse is when I finally let my guard down, when I finally get the courage and fortitude to let myself become vulnerable, I get stabbed in the back. Not just the back, but in the face, heart and lungs.

I'm sick, and I'm tired. I'm sick of caring, sick of optimism. Tired of being let down time after time after time. Sick of defending people not worth defending. Tired of looking past the multitude of bad to the insignificant amount of good in someone. Sick of being afraid to take a risk. I'm tired of being afraid of who I am.

The people who this is directed at: I'm fairly sure you're too self-absorbed to think this relates to you, or even bother to read it. Unfortunetly, there's a part of me that knows this will have no effect on you even if you did read it...

So that's it. I'm out. I'm done.

Hedomisn

So as I sit here on my Studio XPS desktop with 2 X 240WFP screens, looking at an email from Catch of the Day.... I realise.... I am a hedonistic wanker.

I cant stop buying crap I dont need! I cant stop spending money on stuff! I have 2 really good jobs that pay me, and I spend nearly all the money I earn! I have a gym that syphons money out of my account for nothing, I eat crappy food when I'm at work and uni, and I have a recording studio downstairs that I can't even use...

So tell me your hedonism stories. I'd really like to feel better about myself knowing I'm not alone!

i7s and YOU!

God i love the stupidness of computers.

I experienced the awesomeness of my computer today (Dell Studio XPS Desktop) when I imported ALL the music i have (ipod, hard drive, sisters ipod, etc) into itunes at the same time. According to iTunes, it's 60gb of music... and it imported in about 8 mins... that's about 22 songs per second.

HOWEVER... when it comes to a much more challenging task such as un-minimising itunes.... the computer has a spack and I have to end explorer.exe...

Gotta love it...

Anyway, back to installing Halo 2

el Ranto

Ok, so i have tempoarally pulled my rant from my page due to it being a teensy bit abusive towards my employer...

Updatez0rs

While i have 8% of battery life left and probably about 10mb of mobile broadband usage, i thought id post a blog update.

Im in Sydney. WOOO! Visiting my sis for her 21st. The party was awesome, Dad paid for the tab...so WIN!!!

Went to World Bar after that, and I can say, after 4 pots (they serve cocktails in tea-pots), i can sucessfully say 'World Bar' >>> GP-Hoe.

Anyway, I have a giant black spot in my memory after that, but this photo appeared on my iPhone, so it looks like i was prowling the cross...

Ok, battery dying. Update when i get back to brissie on tuesday.

NB. The staff at Dell Boni Junction are idiots.

So I just met Dylan Moran

You heard me. He came to the kiosk and asked me where a shoe store was. I stared at him, dumbfounded... and said 'Sorry... what?'. He spelt it out for me, looking uninterested and unamused. I told him i didnt know, sorry. He walked away and i blurted out 'I didnt know you were in brisbane'. He turned around, looking slightly satisfied that someone recognised him and said 'Well,  yes I am'. And took his kids down the hallway. 

On the way back, I offered him a westfield directory and he said "No, thank you I found the place" so i said "ok. thanks. and good luck, Dylan". He waved and walked away.

Yeah, I know the photo sucks, but I didnt want to seem like a TOTAL stalker.

This, without a doubt, counts as a WIN!

'Cleaning' my Room

So in the interest of cleaning my room, i took all the clothes I own and put them on my bed. Took me about 40 mins to find my work uniform this morning...

But now i have room on my table for my new computer and 2 screens!

Didn't end up finding my keys, though.... Which is a bit awkward.

Given the state of my bed, i think i have to count this as a fail.

Mute Math

For those of you who I haven't introduced into the religion of Mute Math, watch the link below. Make note of exactly what is going on, then contemplate the logistics of such a thing...

UQ Parking

So I was at uni, and i realised i'd just spent the last of my shrapnel on a red bull... so i searched around the car and found $3 in change. unfortunetly, the machines dont take 5c coins.... so I put this on the dash, hoping at least they would commend my hilarity and let me off.

They gave me a warning! I count that as a WIN.

I love Antoine Dufour

Meet Charli

My bird :) Her name is Charli. Ernie (short for ernestine... conveniently changed after we found out the sex) is currently AWOL and difficult to catch because...she's insane, basically.

So im gonna use this now

Hello all. I have a blog now :) 

So I went to computer alliance today and bought a new inkjet and a video converter hub. I get to make a video for my sisters 21st.... yay. I get to listen to my 26 year old sister come up with stupid ideas and then try and make me make it into a video... And Luke, do not ask me if they are hot.

My hatred for VHS players has risen again... I have to stream them onto the comptuer and the player doesnt work... freakin typical. 

So as you can see I'm in a pretty foul mood. I just want to get out of this damn house.

On a lighter note, my recording 'studio' is pretty much done. I just need to get some mic cables, reformat my macbook pro and learn how to use my mixer! HUZZAH! But I do have my drum kit back in my house.

Anywayz, imma watch some stupid movie that Luke (you got 2 mentions, feel special) gave me.

coast!

yo yo, faithful followers (so... debbie, basically)

so ive been at the coast this week. it's been... alright. as good as a holiday with the family can be, i suppose.

We had 'fake christmas' today. Meera (the younger of my 2 older sisters) made a really big deal out of it. We had some wine and cooked a nice lunch. The usual aggrivated discussion ensuded with Meera and anyone who would listen. It's getting incredingly difficult to surpress every one of my thoughts around my family. I cant express anything around them because the are all so opinionated, judgemental, left-wing, snobs. They dont even realise it.

Anyway, apparently we have access to a place on the gold coast. its on the 27th floor of the southport towers. its gorgeous, has a view of the entire gold coast. the only problem is the location. its not really in walking distance of the beach. its directly behind australia fair, so its really good for food/shopping, but beach-wise, you'd have to drive or bus.

well i kind of lost my thought now... i really just want to sleep. waiting for stevie wonder to sing on sentient overload obama innauguration...

adios!

about me... apparently

so..... i have a blog.

i dont really know why... but i do.

hurray!!!

well. im kiran. if you dont know me... then fuck off, you shouldnt be here.

A bit about me? sure, why not. 

i am 18 years old, i live in gaywood (springwood), brisbane, Australia with my family (who are awesomly irritating). i have some great friends, some ok friends and some not so great friends.

I currently (only just) study commerce. Given  that i went to Brisbane Grammar School, the necessity to study wasnt exactly drilled into me, so i kinda fucked up my first year of uni by.... not going to anything. Hopefully this will change in 2009.

I also work for Dell Computers. I'm senior kiosk manager (and at the moment, acting Kiosk manager) for the Dell Garden City Kiosk. Its strange... there is a lot of down time, but when you need to engage customers, it's quite tricky to start fresh with every customer, no matter how you feel at the time or how they act. but i love talking to people, dealing with people, reading their emotions / reactions etc. It's quite a fun job. It also helps that dell is the market leader and has a massive competitive advantage over other companies.

And I also am the editor of the University of Queensland Student Magazine called 'Semper Floreat'. The thing is a piece of turd right now, but hopefully myself and john can pull it up to scratch and make it respectable. Again, a fair bit of work,  but the reward should be amazing if we get it right...

Well that's pretty much me in a nutshell. Well, the physical me. I'll probably get around to updating the emotional/mental me some day (i hope) but its 2:30am and i think i have to be up at 9.... probably not the best plan.

anyway, if anyone actually read this... kudos.

imma sleep nao
