The Bestest Journal On tha Web!!!!!

Im currently rocking out to the new Tool album. I've heard mixed reviews from different people about the album. The majority of them however think it's the bomb. I finished my last assignment for the semester today and Australia beat Greece 1-0 so it has shaped to be a nice day all round. I get 6 weeks off after exams FUUUCKK YEEAAHH. I love holidays. I think I might go camping or something.

I just found out that i don't start uni for like another month yet which is cool, i've been jamming a bit these few days since i got my guitar back. Someone broke into Craigs house and rocked up with a 2 car loads of poeple after Steve got the stuff back from a freind of Craigs (this is the extreamly short version of the story). The two cars followed steve about so he called azza and told him to get as many guys down there as possible. So at 3am in the morning azza, Daniel and I picked up Steve and drove over to Craigs place and sure enough one of the cars was still hanging outside his place. We got their number plate and scared them off. So that was one of a number of little adventures i've been on.

Australia day was not to be forgotten easily. It was the best Aussi day i've had; barbie, pool, beers and friends. It felt like one of those golden days that as a memmory inspires you at the start of a weekend, to go seek out fun just like it was at that momment in time....*sigh*. So all around a very good day. I've my dads invoises to log into the computer, then i think i'll play some guitar and then perhaps go for a walk it seems like a nice day not to be wasted indoors.

Quote: In summer, the song sings itself. : William Carlos Williams.

The tomb was dark and rank, walking up to the stone block in the middle of the room proved awkward for the man holding a torch which barely illuminated the moss covered stone environment. The monolithic block of an accient sarcophigus which dominated the center of the room seemed to issue a warning with it's the mere presents of itself. The man reached out to touch the stone seal carved into the front of the block...  Suddenly the bock opened up before him and there from out of the belly of darkness which surrounded him emerged Marcus! WTF!!!!!!

Hi everyone! I havent entried for awhile due to heaps of partying and other such stuff i think my last entry was before the gig. Damn it has been a while. How good was new years, oh yeah! I went on a road trip down to Dunnsberough (im not sure how it's spelt) and Denmark with the Dunny, Nick, Jackson, Darcy, Rob and Al. Fuck it was some serious fun I could do it all over again. The night before new years eve was spent in Dunnsberough at three bears pub. After a massive drive we arrived at the youth hostle attatched to the pub and we got smashed. All i remeber about the night was constantly having a beer in my hand and a huge grin on absolutly everyones face. bliss.
 
The morning after Jackson looked pale as death and just about ready to kill himself we had another 6 hour trip ahead of us thankfully we made it in one piece and Jackson recovered enough to party more. I had my third flipper ever and it was great danced my arse off and just enjoyed myself immensley. When the count down i felt fuckin good although a lot of that could be blamed on the drugs. Damn good time won't be forgotten easily. :D   

Quote: Calenders are for careful people not passionate ones. : Some guy called Chuck?

I've been painting recently, it's the first time since doing art in school i've even touched a canvas, so im not going to expect very much to come through, however getting back into it fills my mind with new images and ideas that i can't wait to try out. Our drummer got back from Sydney yesterday and tommorow we have our final practice before the party. I hope we sound ok we haven't been practiced for almost a week and we have over 15 songs to play without screwing up : /
Im babysitting my brothers tommorow also, until practice of course. Today and monday i worked with my dad i actualy missed work probably because im now getting some income finally.

quote:
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. : James M. Barrie (1860- 1937)

Im pissed off but im also happy, i don't know if thers a mood icon for that. Im happy because today i bought an AMP yay! yay! yay! yay! Oh what an amp it's 350 watts of basey goodness! the guy i bought it off said he got it for $1150 and it's two years old and has been looked after pretty well, so im pretty happy with the purchase. Now, im pissed off because another guy who was selling a 400 watt quad box wasn't bloody home at the time we arranged to meet! Aaaarrgh!!! i could have been playing a quad box by now *sob* through my nice new amp. I'm going to have to make do with my little 60 watt crate for now at band practice, but hopefully not for long.

Quote: I never think of the future it comes soon enough. : Albert Einstein

I feel like crap about writing on the net about Jo. I was annoyed with her. Out of the two of us she's usually right so im going to delete the entry. Comments were appriciated people so don't stop commenting and thanks liska for extending a hand to her i think she needs someone to hang out with/talk to. That aside i had my second last exam today. I've got biomech on friday, then i am killing brain cells to make room for next year at uni. Band, band, band i want to practice with the band. I hope we don't stop learning songs after the party i can think of at least twenty i want to play eventually with captain sunshine and the surf cadets (man i hate that name, i've been assured it's temporary). I've been playing magic the gathering the card game with smidgen and jules. It's such a nerdy game (but so much fun!) i guess it's better than playing computer games. Im going to sell my car after exams so if you know any one who wants a 1989 Honda accord selling at $4000 tell them to give me a ring. 

Quote: Anger is a signal and one worth listening to: Harriet Learner, The Dance of Anger, 1985

Beautiful, im going to a bar in glen forrest tonight that should be interesting. Im listening to Red Jezebels CD for the first time at the moment which im really liking, it seems like a good purchase, "Heart in the sun" im going to have stuck in my head for a long time. Not much to talk about. I really would like to see lots of people at the momment. Rissoles going in less than four weeks, even for someone who seemed to be in the background from where i was, it seems sad (im not just saying this cause your reading). Im feeling a bit empty at the momment. I don't need to feel this way this close to exams. im going to go out and talk with friends i think thats what i need.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. That word is love. :Sophocles
 

I finished my assignement today the last one of the whole fucking year!!!!! well almost finished i just have to tie up a few loose ends. Im entering the most stressful phase of uni along with everyone else, exam time. I've got two days to study for two exams in a row. im screwed. Watch me go crazy:

Im going to draw a picture.....maybe. Im just sitting here blank as a sheet of paper woundering about weekends wtf is the point of a prison society, i felt like i was chained to my work im litteraly caged due to my responsabilities. responsabilities responsabilities thats a long word to type with one finger...... noise

Note:
this is me tired, very fucking tired. i thought it would be interesting to see what i came up with. cya people.

I've got a cold. ther is flem all in my nose and throat and when i sneeze i explode gunk into my tissue filled hands. I feel yuck.
I watched the Hours (the movie not the clock) yesterday while i was bundled up on the couch with a ba-zillion tissues sorounding me. It's very much a dramatic movie but i get all emotional when im sick so it didn't seem to bother me that it was. I acctualy thought it was quite good very well written and a surprising twist towards the end made it well worth watching. For the rest of the day i played grand theft auto San Andreas which was the best veg session i've had in a long time.

Life is a study if you want to be happy study happiness, if you want to be sad study sadness. So heres some personal tips i give myself to cheer me up. If you have problems solve them and don't think you cannot no matter how bad it is, cause if you do that your not helping yourself. Listen to sad music and you will eventualy want to kill yourself. Change your taste in music. The sun rays stimulate anti-depressents within your body. Exercising for 30 minutes will put you in a good mood and make you feel so much better about yourself. So go outside and exercise. If you are depressed don't ever smoke dope, it interfers with your ability to solve complicated matters and equations therefore increasing depression and decreasing selfesteem. DO SOMETHING, don't whatever you do alow yourself to become bored. You think too deep into yourself when you are bored. These things worked for me i share them with you now in the hope that if you ever feel like your world is crumbling you will stand up for yourself and take a smart attitude towards dealing with your emotions.

Quotes about happiness:
Most folks are as happy as they make their minds up to be.: Aberaham Lincoln
Happiness depends upon ourselves: Aristotle
To be stupid selfish and to have good health are three requirements for happiness, however if stupidity is lacking all is lost.: Gaustave Flaubert

I just had a nice chat on the phone. Made me feel good on the inside. Cleared up some stuff. Umm i don't know if im the only one who does this but i have a tendency to expect the worst. It's one of my better qualities, funnilly enough by expecting the worst you can be prepared for anything (like a good scout)Damn. hehehe,  Still, some times it can annoy the heck out of people. Turning thoughts onto a different laneway now, i had a cool chat to my homeboy smidge about the different kinds of perception people have (yes we were pissed as newts) aaaaaaaaannnnnddddd i look sooo drunk in those photos haley took im definitely keeping a copy I had lotsa fun. Don't you think it's ironic that by being completely insane sometimes(i.e getting smashed and being stupid) we keep ourselves sane. Some highlights of that night would have to include myself trying to put my music on with rissole (in her bathers) stopping me (wisely) to wait for the next track which i was sure to like and 9.999 times out of ten i did and then went bouncing off to the dance floor to jive it up some more, James turning up stealing the show with his beetlejuice outfit, everyone hammerd and looking like a freak show, im sure if a kid had come in they would have been scared shittless. In other awsome-wicked news i've got two, count'em, two new friends on lj say (im in a homie G mood)WATUP! to Kate (im so sorry i haven't put you on till now) and Roomy (wicked drummer so im told).

Quote: Insanity in individuals is something rare but in groups, parties, nations and epochs it is the rule. : Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

I wanna get drunk i really really do. i was just looking through liskas pics of one of her saturday nights and it looked like she had a ball. I would love to go to some randoms house with a bunch of friends and have a wicked-cool time. I'm in such a party mood dammit! I've got Jamies b'day dress up thing on 2morow but thats not 2night. Aarrrghh!!!! i would serriously be up for a leavers all over again at this very momment. I wanna see everyone drunk and i wanna be drunk i don't care if im drinking goon 2night im getting hammerd!!!

 Quote: Work, curse of the drinking classes: Oscar Wilde

Yay! what a cool day! I finally got my massive report handed in to do with work experience, which could not have gone better apart from getting a wicked assesment from my karate manager guy i also got a free life time membership to the club and offered a job, which involves me becoming a karate instructor!!!(In like 3 years so don't ask me how to do fly kicks cause i don't know) My Nanas come over from england her names Silvia and shes my last grandparent. I've just finished practising some songs for an upcoming cover band i will be playing bass for, im on top of the fucking world i cannot wait to play in front of an audience again even if it's just five people, i love that feeling when you rock out in front of people. *commences air guitar solo and once again falls back off his chair*. I noticed so many depressing journals in my friends list which propted me to look back on my own sad days recorded on lj..... You guys will feel better.

Three quotes on suffering (i thought it would be appropraite):

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar. : Thich Nhat Hanh

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional. :Unknown

You desire to know the art of living my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering. :Henri Fredrik Amiel

Wow! I did a lot today, work wise anyhow. I got up and there was no hot water in the shower so instead of taking the risk of catching numonia (this is 5:30 in the morning by the way) I decided to skip the shower besides I didn't smell too bad. Did a bucket load of reading on the train watched a presentation in Exercise Rehab witch turned out to be pretty interesting, the lecturer told us that he was experimenting on how nerves are oversensitive to damage in muscle in other words the intensity of pain you have after a work out (delayed muscle strain) is not correlated to the amount of damage you do to your muscle. Current studies sugest its to do with a leakage of calcium inflamating the worked on muscle. He told us about one experiment where they injected someones leg with chilli and that brought on a pain sensation. I wasn't very surprised by that though, if  Nando's hot sauce  can leave a burning sensation in your mouth imagine what would happen injecting extra hot periperi into your leg. Anyways after that i got lots of assinment stuff done and then went off to a lecture and a tut. Got more stuff done after that and then went to my final tut. I went home after that when the only piece of bad in my day popped up. I had lossed my car keys. I had to phone dad to pick me up and now i've got to ring the lock smith tomorror to break into my car. However i got home safely and i've kind of sorted out what i have to do. Bye people and good night im going to bed *yawn*. Sleep well.

Quote: If you can't sleep get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you not the loss of sleep.:Dale Carnegie

Last night was wicked. I went and saw the campus bands' final at the rosemount after drinking two bottles of bubbly, I was bouncing all over the place! After that the lads and I went off to Smidges place and then boogied on over to Carnnigies. I was walking over to it when I heard Nirvana playing and I started to run. ROCK ON!!! I bounced around in there until the place closed, for once they didn't play any RnB which was good, it was rock all the way yay!! So of course after that the party moved over to the Amp and the bouncing comenced once more. Lights, music, alcohol in all sorts of flavors and copious amounts of bouncing.... this led to a chain reaction which ended up setting off a serious craveing for a Kebab (AKA: food of the gods) It was a tremendous taste sensation chicken with salad,cheese, egg and sweet chilli sauce YUM! It was 6am when we got back to Smidges where I passed out. Heres a handy tip for getting over a hangover: obviously drink heaps of water before going to bed, but the next day go for a jog or a run you'll end up sweating out the left over alcohol, it may be hard convincing yourself to go for a run when you feel like you want to curl up and die but trust me on this, once you've done a half hour walk/jog/run you'll feel like you've just woken up from a 100 year sleep. It is the best hang over cure possible garanteed. At the mo. I'm at home and im gonna write up some results and a method for a lab report. Take it easy people I look forward to seeing you guys next weekend and the weekend after and the weekend after that.:D

Quote: Take care of yourselves and one another: Jerry Springer

I tried updating my journal about a week ago but my damn computer crashed on me. Loads has happened since my last entry (which was too fucking long ago) and i can't be bothered listing it all apart from lottsa parties and lottsa uni work and tiny social dramas im sure would have made good reading but i didn't record them so we will never know for sure, nuffsaid.;) Anyways marcos_polos is back and ready to type *ohyeah totally focused*. I just finished yesterday putting together one of those wieghts machine things, it took a whole day all up but im quite proud of it since it works fine and it's probably the biggest thing i've ever assembled, its black instead of white too which is cool. I picked up my guitar again reasently im a bit rusty but after a few hours i got back most of my skill, i've written a few cool riffs and licks too, im looking forward to starting a band soon which should be much better than the last one i was in. I've just done a few hours study. Im feeling really mellow at the momment. I wanna see The Corpse Bride it was directed by Tim Burton who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, I love that weird feel he puts in his work. O.K. ive got to get back on to live journal more, i can't believe i forgot about it and left all you people floating in cyberspace, i think im gonna change my picture, the smiling devil has got to go. Heres a quote for anyone who has ever said anything they regreted in the morning after a heavy night.

It is better to hide ignorance but it is hard to do this when we relax over wine.
:Heraclitus (540BC-480BC)

Damn straight.

I feel so relieved at the momment if you had seen the mood icon at the top of the screen you would have already guessed that. The reason: two assignment due today i had not finished, i was panicking cause i needed an extention otherwise i would lose a bucket load of marks. I then double checked if the assignment were due today and it turns out they are actually due on friday. OH YEAH THANKYOU GOD, JEHOVA, ALLAH, WHOEVER OR WHATEVER THE SUPREME DIVINE RULER OF MY ASSIGNMENT IS.... probably the lecturer but im not going to thank him he's the one who gave me the assignments in the first place. I apologise im high from not haveing the stress of two unfinished assignments on mind anymore. I'll tell you, it's quite a rush. My work ethic is going down the drain at the momment i've got an exam tommorow and im going to get feakenblend at feakenblends place tonight, fuck yeah BBQ+Beer make Marcus a very happy man. Im going to have to be careful not to kill the brain cells holding the biomechanical study info though. I have a feeling Nikki will enjoy her b'day pressie. I love giving Pressies it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Quote: Life is a sexualy transmitted disease.
:R.D. Laing

P.S.What's the best pressi you ever got?

Ive just done an exam. I hadn't even looked at the six weeks of lectures until last night. Im sure i have just occumplished my first failed exam. My sense of self worth has deteriorated to an all time low. As i sit here next to people who are finishing their lab reports which are due in a week while mine have not even been started i am wondering if i am cut out for uni. Im three years through my course and i feel like giving it up. That cannot be good. Ive also got another exam in a week plus i haven't even started my work experience. I don't have time at the momment for anything but doing uni work so that lines up another shithouse weekend filled with essays, study and feeling like im being left out of the most awsome nights of my life. Still im going to go out and get drunk, i think i need it, ive been sober for two weeks in a row, i'll go insane at another week with no devils liquor.

Anyway stay positive right, nikkis got a BBQ on monday which should be fun. Even though it's the night before my exam i think i can still get blend and survive with at least a sixty percent mark easy. Fuck it. Im going to blitz those damn reports i reckon i could do two lab reports in two days yeah, and ill give my supervisor for work experience a buzz and have that sorted in a jiffy, i'll study all day sunday for my exam which should leave me guzzling beer and suasages at the Grays' house monday night and hungover but rearing to get my exam done on Tuesday. How bout that for Organisation. Marcus is on a comeback.
