There are pulleys and wheels and sprockets and rotors and chain motors and chains and nuts and bolts and steamrollers and operated pressers and hydraulic pressers and alternating pressers and drill pressers and moulding pressers and hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic fuses and hydraulic hammers and pumps and pipes and exhaust fans and compactors and ( Read more... )

The situation is driving me crazy.  It’s shit week followed by shit week followed by shit week.  It’s an uphill battle and I’m always losing = existential crisis.  I am exhausted and poor.  I need to get off this alcohol and cigarette diet.  Who am I kidding? I need so much more.  And I ask you: when’s gonna be my time?
 

Because this cold weather forces me to bed at 6.30pm with a warm doona and old photos spread around me, with jazz playing in the background and a cup of tea.  There goes all the time I put aside for my assignment, and suddenly all the dreams I used to dream about, all the things I wanted to achieve, all the things I’ve done come, rushing back ( Read more... )

There is a metaphorical bubble in which we all live in.  A bubble which comprises of our work, family, friends, local pubs, home, office and familiar yet completely anonymous faces - the same faces which catch the same train every working day, the same faces which buy coffee from the same vendor everyday around the same time.  But there are the ( Read more... )

Have you ever sung a duet alone?
This is perhaps the greatest crime in history: Why can’t [B] just like [A] in return and leave [C] to his own devices? Why does [C] have to enter the equation at all? Why does there have to be a trail of broken hearts, disappointments, guilt and injustice? It’s just so unnecessary.  Why can’t these things just work ( Read more... )

[A] likes [B].

Naturally, [B] doesn’t like [A] but in fact, likes [C].

[C] is clueless.

Hmm, so the question is: What does [B] do?

 I really don’t know much about anything.  I know that a green light at a set of traffic lights means go, and I know that the sun rises in the east.  I really don’t know much about science, or engineering, or how planes manage to stay in the air.  But I do know that the window of opportunity is only open for so long.  And when it shuts, it doesn’t ( Read more... )

It’s hard because I don’t want to be like this.  I don’t want to be envious and I don’t want more than what I have, because what I have is all I want.  Except sometimes, when I finish school late, and I’m walking home after a drink at the pub, and it’s close to midnight and the moon is high and the breeze is soft… I sometimes just wish I could walk ( Read more... )

So yesterday you think to yourself I really shouldn’t get out of bed today.  And you can’t place you’re finger on it, but you just get this feeling that something is amiss.  You really can’t be this on top of things, surely you’ve missed something, and surely you’ve overlooked something.  You just can’t be two days ahead - that would mean you were ( Read more... )

You got a random message at 1am yesterday morning.  You love the random messages.  You love being pleasantly surprised in the morning - it makes getting up so much more easier.  You love how they make you feel so great throughout the whole day.  You love how there’s shitheads all around and speaking stupid things but it really doesn’t matter cos  ( Read more... )
