for those about to rock

this is for those handfull of people still checking my blog, i drank yesterday on australia day, and was wearing thongs at the brewery and had to get katrina to sneak lachlans shoes downstairs to me waiting in the pokie room, so i could go up, it lasted about 20 minutes before the bouncers found me, anyway i wasn't going to drink today but my olds just bought home 32 bottles of wine. which is 3 cases, th deal was you buy 2 cases and get a third free. God doesnt want me to stop. lol. like when the poats were playing and i told my old man to bring me a tiny jim beam bottle home, because i know i cant stop spirits when i start, and he brings home two big cougars, because it was buy one get one free. and i drank 'em both!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLLuQkovnRk check this link out, its morris skating on the homemade skate ramp we build at my place. I couldn't stop laughing!!!! now its there for the whole world to see it!

it always happens with my tattoos, people say what does it mean? thats what i get 100% of the time when i show someone my tattoos, and the deal is, i have no fucking idea what that bit of scribble on my arm means, just as i dont know why people are dying from hunger, and i dont know what the fuck i am doing in my life-and i dont mean just getting a job and knowing what im doing as a career, i mean as a person-who do i want to be as a person and what do i want to believe in.
And when i see a girl wear a pair of earrings i dont ask what is the significance of the
pattern of the star shape in the metal that she has adorned on her lobe. No and you know why?because it seems like a temporary display, yet tattoos seem permanent--as permanent as we can get in our fleeting lives that come to an end in the blink of an eye, to quote meet joe black where anthony hopkins at his b-day speech says '65years, don't they go by in a flash,' So we like to hold onto things, and people say well how about when your 60 and you wont want the tattoos, i have two responses to that. the first is
that i love it now, and if im worrying about what im going to look like when im 65 then its safe to say im not at all living in the moment, and secondly im going to have about a million other health related issues by that age which will keep me preoccupied. I think peeing 8 times a night and shitting in a bag will be more important than worrying about a tattoo-which i had 40 good years with,

i have not once-ever regretted getting inked i love everytime i look at it. But onto the grander point about the human condition as realizing that we are fallible but
still thinking in schemas mentally that try to put a permanance on the present moment. I think once you realize that the bus can hit you tomorrow, not just know it consciously but truly realize that you can die at any moment, then you can fully embrace it. And this isn't just some pop psychology bullshit(carpe diem and seize the day and all that shit), this is about not ever fucking appreciating what you have right this very second and always looking to tomorrow. Why not look at what you have today and feel at peace, then plan for tomorrow. Because i agree you do need some planning otherwise you'll end up like chris farley who drank and boozed and partied and died at 33, but even
then he had one motherfucking time while he was alive! amen. Personally i dont like a whole heap of tats, i think it looks like someone has spilt ink on someones arm, i like a few without being crowded. Its all personal, and to me it reiterates the temporary nature of life.

anyway, i found the rocky quote that i loved. I found out too we havent got it in australia yet, i watched it about 2 months ago in the grand old USA!! and it comes out next month here, but this quote was my fav part of the movie, where sly is talking
to his son who is ashamed of him for trying to keep going, fucking brilliant. I love how he brings hobbes into it,--the world--- its a very mean and nasty place, and when sly delivers it, what a great movie.
The world is one hard motherfucker of a place, and we are all tryign to find our place, and some of us die and some try to succeed but we're all just fucking restricted to getting food, water and air. You get knocked down, and you have to keep moving forward, just like rocky says. And his son was blaming him, but rocky is like, dont blame me, i know your strong stand up and be it, or you might aswell die.

Quote from rocky

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.
How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
