Life is for Salsa Dancing, not for blogging.

Tuesday, July 22, 2003
 
Life is for living, not for blogging.

...............................

I just had to change the first line of my last blogging post. Because as we know from past examples (Nick "I had a very productive day today" Walsh among others), the first line of your last posting sticks in peoples minds. I think "damn it i was going to post something that romy said...." is a bit long winded and has no oomph. It is a little bit like when they say "any last words?" to ppl they are about to send to jail for 50 years, you want it to be a hard hitting statement about how you are innocent or that god is the true judge of mens deeds or some such, you dont want it to be some personal adtecdote which people either dont understand or dont give a shit about.

There, have i justified my return to blogging well enough??

Tuesday, July 15, 2003
 
damn it i was going to post something that romy said to me in a msn conversation, it was very funny, but now i cant even fucking remember what it is.

DO you konw, life is for living, not for blogging. i think my blogging odyseey is finally comming to a close. with not one, but TWO m's. shit hey.

i guess this is goodbye.

no posts for 4 days.,.....que pasa?!??!? been busy i guess...........too much partying!!!

MUST STOP GOING OUT EVERY NITE....its bad for the wallet, bad for my job hunting, bad for....well, that is all it is bad for really. Its good for the soul...

Monday nite went to dancing class then just to Toms house.
Tuesday nite meant to go to salsa but something happened...cant remember what, and just as i got into bed Sal decides we are going out, so had to raise myself again and we went to Evelyn, they had a pretty cool funk/hip hop band, i think they were called Red Eyes or something? Then afterwards, sal and I went to Nova to play chess and drink hot chocolate. THat is our new thing, man it is so fun.
Wednesday had lunch at Bimbo ($3 Pizza...and gourmet ones too!! am going there today because they are SOOO good!!), then that nite went to Lotus bar with Gabriella and Ana Maria, sooo cool. THey knew all these latinos so we danced and danced. I danced with this little Colombian guy, Andy, he was up to like my shoulders, but was such a good dancer....AND!! AND guess what the fuck else!!!! I saw this black guy, young only my age, from Nigeria (Ana asked him) who could dance salsa!!!!!! sure, evertime i saw him he had another blonde bimbo hanging off his side, but man, he was so cute. next week im gonna ask him to dance, because none of those blonde plastic bimbo girls could dance. was, AM so excited.
Then last nite i just had a presenters meeting for SYN FM then brazilian dancing class. man i love that class. is so fun.

There, that is wrap up of my week. Included absolutely NO job hunting, NO cleaning of room (now is DESPERATE stage, has not been done for about 2 months....we are entering very dangerous territory there).....

BUT, tomorrow is my last priceline shift ever!! yes, i quit!!! YAY. after romy left, it was all downhilll. no reason to stay there. sick of the ppl. sick of the work.....

so i will be poor but happy. want to work in a bookshop or something. or a music store. hey...that would be cool!! must get to work on that. someday.

AND EVERYONE< MONDAY MORNING IS MY FIRST RADIO SHOW EVER!!! please tune in...

90.7 SYN FM
Monday
9am - 10.30am

hello everyone,
thanks for all the birthday wishes and to everyone that came to dinner and drinks last nite.

I lost my phone on Saturday nite, and then we didnt even eat where we planned, but at another place on Brunswick st, so anyone that was trying to catch up with me on the nite, im really really sorry!! We ate at Planet Cafe, because there were too many ppl for the Veggie Bar, and then we went to Cape Lounge afterwards. The very cool barman bought me shots and hayley and others bought me a cocktail...Rom gave me a little penis inside a glass casing with "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY PLEASE BREAK GLASS" in red letters on the outside. so cool. I was pretty drunk i guess, 2 cocktails, 6 beers and a shot. for me that is fucking heaps. im suprised i could walk. After Cape Lounge, Felix, the only one still sticking around, came with me to Evelyn. Yess that Italian guy was behind the bar and yes he said hello. They had this aussie hip hip on...felix hated it, but i thought it rocked...then he walked me home.


SEC WELCOME NIGHT SEMESTER 2

cheap drinks & free food!

Thursday 10 th July.
7:00 pm 'til late
The Mercat Cross Hotel
456 Queens Street
Melbourne

Sounds good, i guess. a chance to check out the black salsa dancing talent.

OMG i just remembered this dream I had!! I hardly ever remember my dreams, but i do remember a little scene from this one. I was walking past this crowded room full of computers and I noticed that these two strangers, a girl and a guy i think, were looking at my blog on their computer! But my blog was orange and yellow coloured ....how weird is that!

Was meant to be going to Laundry to see some hip hop with tom tonite, but have been drunk for 5 nites out of the past 6, so maybe not such good idea. Also the boys are at Embassy, that would be fun but it does also mean a shit load of beers.

Will maybe save myself for the SEC Welcoming Party...
shit i have dancing in about 25 minutes....fuck have to go.....

who has been searchin for "kl sexy chinese girls photo".........? You will find everything you need to know about sexy photos of chinese girls in KL on this blog, i promise you.

And you, yes, you....seraching for "female circumsision pictures" (I was number three...ahhhh SHIT)...what are you?!?! fucking perverted fucked up sadistic wanker. go fucking some where else for mutilated women.

This last one is for everyone....for who in their life hasn't wanted a good old vegie fuck.....c'mon admit it! its good for the body, mind AND soul!!




 
oye...dice que...

start to an Orishas song. anyway. am a little bit drunk. Have been at hi-fi bar watching the Helsinki Architects and Lucksmiths...they were rock but they were ok...im sure leigh and Pete and the swedish beauty therapist and her boyfriend are still partying on =)

-----------------------------------------------
LUCIE"s 22nd BIRTHDAY
This Sunday, 6th July
DINNER: the Veggie Bar, Brunswick St, 7pm (NOTE: they have made a slight variation to their menu, surprise surprise!!)
DRINKS: Cape Lounge or Bar Open...which ever has better music! Actually now that I think of it, Bar Open has cheaper drinks so maybe we should have drinks there. that would make more sense. as long as they dont have more bad sucky rock like last saturday nite.

come one, come all. its holidays, so no excuses will be tolerated!
-------------------------------------------

How is everything else you ask? everything is a-ok i guess. actually everything is pretty shit. want to travel again, right now, tomorrow. i have the money, maybe i should just go? shit man, shit. get away from everything, ahh that is the fuckin life. Im tripple booked on sat nite, fuck i fucking hate that. how the fuck do you decide?!? What you planned first? What you want to do most? This is a fucked up message. im a bit tipsy and have a headache and im just fucking winging. boring.
nobody wants to listen to that.
i think maybe im giving myself a headache by winging about it so much.
shut the fuck up lucie.
go to bed.
ok.
nite.
xxxxx

yesterday was titled 'THE STRESSFUL DAY THAT NEVER ENDS' By Lucie Abbott.

a poem once appeared here
but leigh and i agreed it was stupid

so the poem is no more.

fuck i love de la soul.


 
My favorite quote, from the telstra lady....

"I'm sorry, I did not hear you."

fucking stressful fucking day. where is it going to end? am i promising things i can fulfil? should i be certain before i answer back. fucking fucking hell. i want to. i fucking do. but who on earth will get hurt? who is more fragile? the answer is not me. the answer is in a mathematical formular. the infinite is the beginning and the beginning never ends and I will always be with you. what the fuck is that? words? formulars? sublime ramblings? what can i trust? what can i believe in? i know the fucking answer to that. i can believe in me. i can trust my heart.

woooo. back in melbourne. a wirlwind couple of days in sydney.

Was so good to see everyone...AND no major arguments which was AMAZING. Spent heaps of time in Bondi at the famous markets, in Glebe at the coffee shops, in Narrabeen at the surf shops, at the International Airport welcoming and waving everybody in and out, sitting around the temple in Loftus street deciding what to do, skating on the ramp *HAHAHA*, taking 1,000 photos, breakfasting in Avalon, walking along the beach, AND SHOPPING at bondi beach, martin place, manly mall and woolworths.

We stayed with Oska and Dashenka of Dope Comics fame. An amazing $1.4m house in Narrabeen, with their artwork everywhere. Ozzie is an amazing surfer sponsored by Volcom, and also an artist. Dashenka is his wife, she is from Switzerland and is also an artist. Their back yard is one big skateboard ramp. it was so cool. (Max, take note, they are coming to Melbourne next week for the WORLD PREMIER of a new surfing video they made...you and anyone else surf-obsessed should come! My bro will also be here yay).
It was weird to get into that world again...that surfing world. You dont get any of it here in melbourne.

Im inspired. as soon as i fucking call finito on these 4 mother fucking assignments, im quitting priceline and becomming an artist. you bettter fucking believe it.

HWAH.

yay. just had a brazilian dancing class tonite. i finally know the steps to the samba! i have wanted to learn that for sooo long. Get ur dancin shoes on Nick! hehe. i have to get into more dancing. also watched Save the Last Dance, one of my favorite movies ever (because of all the sexy black people, the good hip hop music AND the amazing dancing) and i remembered how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE dancing. Why the fuck haven't I been doing any this year?? I guess I did an Indian dance in Malaysia, but what happened to salsa, luce?? Think i also want to start ballet. am i to old to start ballet? Also might start Capoeira with Tom. I went to one capoeira class when i was about 17, but we lived out in the sticks then (horrible boring Kew, haha leigh) and i had to travel 2 trams and it too like an hour and a half to get there and it was dark...but now that we live in classy crisp crimson clit comic colourful cussing calrton, i will be able to get their easy peasy japanese-ee. and if tom does it as well, it would be fun. Have to get up at 4.30 to go to the airport! I have been going to bed at 3am every nite for 2 weeks. ahhh! im going to be wrecked.

--------------------------------------------------------------
More crazy ppl who have arrived at my blog through looking up weird ass things on the net.........

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAA
someone from HONG KONG used Google to search for 'Sexy Australians' and my blog was number 5 ..........WOW. THAT IS SO SO SO COOL. I think it has more to do with the blogs owner being sexy, not the content of my blogreaders so dont get ur hopes up....HAHAHAHAH. joking. ;)

Someone searched for 'satellite phone KDU'...yoshi?? my blog was number 19. so so weird.

It gets better. Someone from com.il (italy? Iceland?) searched for weboard gay boys......
THEN 20 minutes afterwards, someone searched for Iranian blogs gay and got me!!!

THEN someone from sydney searched for Gday Sunshine Blog and i was, wait for it...NUMBER ONE!!! man, this is getting weirder and weirder. blogwise came in at number 3. Yoshifumi aka bacardi breezer - the drinking machine was number 5. Buenos Tiempos Para Las Vacas Flacas was number 7. If this blog hunter wasn't from sydney, i would think it was me being vein. but not geographically possible as I am still in Melbourne.
----------------------------------------------------

Am just chatting to dave, ex-SEC member, now working at ANZ...and he has reminded me of Beths party on sat nite.......so nick you going?

for only the second time in 13 years my whole family is going to be in the same country. neh, the same city....together!!!!

well, not my whole family - not my dad and not my two little sisters (and my evil step mum) but all the important ones will be there: my mum, my older sisters jacqui and susie, my brother sam (and his wife), me and my little sister sally. We will all be in Sydney this weekend. it will be a sad occasion. a death. isnt it funny how tragedy brings people together. but i can't help but be excited by this momentus occasion.

The first time was about 6 years ago. we all spent a week in sydney for christmas. It was the first time in 7 years that most of us had even seen one of our sisters, Susie, who left for a one year around-the-world trip after she finished school. I was only 9 at the time. one year sounded like a long time. but then she never came back. one year became 3 years, then 5 years....i almost forgot i had a sister lost somewhere on the other side of the world. but at the 7 year marks she came back. for two weeks.

Not sure quite how my family came to be dispursed so strangely across the world. Susie was the first to go, on that fateful around the world trip. Sam was next, but with his surfing 40 countries every years wasn't that strange. Even when he married a frenchgirl and settled down in Hossegor, he still gets to at least 20 a year. then Jacqui, the eldest, got a job in Cuba...fell in love with a Frenchman she met at a salsa lesson (neither of them can dance still!!) and they moved to Afghanistan, then France, then Liberia, then Congo, and now Laos. they are getting married there next month.

But now everyone will be home. for a few short days.
