matchbox learning

Today I was out doing internship.
During one tow of the afternoon classes I noticed that Dylan (a small boy who was visiting the office) had left his cars on the table, so I looked at the for a while remembering the good old days of playing with matchbox vars. Eventually just looking wasn’t enough so I picked up one of the cars which was a police “special mission” tarago van. It was shiny and had lights on top. Eventually holding it wasn’t enough either, I found my self driving all over my desk during class and doing reverse parks between the lines of writing on my worksheets. It was so much fun, then the police van got to go and pull over the taxi for speeding and the taxi driver kept getting angry because all the back roads where blocked by text books and pens and my bible. Then my bible became a posh hotel and the taxi came to pick up important guests and the police car would escort the taxi through the streets on my desk. It was ever so much fun.

I’m pretty sure I listened to what was going on in class too.

rant

This morning I went and voted then went to phoebes 1st birthday where I got to play some Frisbee with Deb’s funky Frisbee.

After Phoebe’s party I decided I wanted to have some just Howie time. Something I haven’t really had in a long time. I like hanging out with my self every now and then I’m a good bloke. Anyway the last few months have been quite full on in the community department and I need a bit of space I think. So today I took the initiative and spent the afternoon with just me. I figured if I stayed home I would end up talking to people here and it wouldn’t be the same. So I got my camera and tripod and extra lens and I caught a train to Milsons Point.
I felt like taking photos.
I spent over an hour walking across the harbour bridge just taking arty photos. It was great just me a camera and a beautiful afternoon. I really enjoyed myself, I could go where ever I wanted stop whenever I wanted. Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!!!!!
I think I got some good photos too.
I love the city, I love transport, I love photos. I think that’s a bit of a perfect day for me if I could just spend a whole day on transport and taking photos and looking at buildings. It probably sounds weird but I love it.
I think some of it probably stems from being an only child I really got to enjoy my own company at times and being alone isn’t a boring thing or a negative thing. I would love to go on a holiday by myself for like a week or so. Somewhere where there is grass and a beach and busses and trains and boats.
I’m such a kid I love transport.
Anyway back to my afternoon. Once I had made it across the harbour bridge I walked across the Cahill expressway which goes over the top of Circular quay. That was very cool, tall buildings on one side and the harbour on the other.I took a few more photos and walked back through Circular Quay towards Wynyard. On my was I saw a photo shop still open so I put my film in for developing. Then I just wandered around the city a bit and picked up my film at 7pm. Then it was off to Chatswood for toms coke party.

I felt really sick when I got to toms place. I was feeling really hot then cold then hot. I felt like I was going to throw up big time. But I never did throw up. I decided to go have a sleep. It was probably an hour or so I spent sleeping in a back room. Then I came back out to join the rest of the gang. Still feeling sick now, I really hope its not the intestinal infection coming back to haunt me cause I’m really sick of being sick all the time. The last few weeks I have felt great. I don’t want to go back to feeling like this.

And now I’m home about to go to bed.

this post falls under 4 seperate categories thats fun

What did people fill in time with before mobile phones?
I got to the pub a bit early last night and I was sitting there by myself. And what did I do to fill in time, I pulled out my phone and read messages. What do I do when I’m waiting for anything I pull out my phone. If I’m ever some where in public and I’m alone its important to look like I have friends so I read messages.

But everyone does it.

What did we do in the old days if we where waiting for people ? ? ?

I cant remember my memories don’t seem to date back far enough.

Maybe in the old days we didn’t need to wait, maybe its mobile phones that have caused the waiting in the first place. The only reason we wait for people is because they are held up on their phone somewhere.
So its because of phones that people are late but then its also because of phones that we are able to fill in time.

Another thing I have noticed is that my mobile phone isn’t all that mobile. If someone calls me I am much more likely to stop walking and talk on the phone than I am to just keep walking with my phone on my ear.

Not that any of that is relevant anymore seeing as my phone is dead. When I woke up this morning it was still sitting there turning on and off and on and off and on and off.

things that make you go grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There are not many things in my life that really make me go grrrrrr. But the main thing that does make me go grrrrrrrrrr is wedding videos. some of it is anger at myself for beinsg so stupid for saying yes to doing them in the first place. another part of the grrr is the fact that they are so boring, and so hard to edit, another part of the grr is the fact that i still havent finnished or even started them. Another part of the grrrr is that i really dont want to do them…..They are the one thing in my life that makes me really angry and anoyed at myself and at the world and at video production in general. I often cant sleep at night cause weding videos are on my concious. When ever i hear someone mention wedding videos i cant help but cringe.
I even had a dream a few weeks ago where i commited suicide over the wedding videos and my suicide note said “Bloody wedding videos” and that is all it said.

Its time people.

Here on the world wide web i’m going to commit to to something i dont want to commit to. I am going to be held accountable to the whole damn world.

I am going to have both outstanding wedding videos editied and sent to the couples by the 24th of October.

Man it sucks, its been boiling up in me for months and months, i’m always too busy or too something. I’m scared of the people who got married, i’m scared of it all. Wedding videos suck!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
