I am the apotheosis of malleable uncertainty
I no longer want to be a malcontent
Ineffable feelings of love, lust & longing
The juxtaposition of compunction and alacrity
Carrying a burning burden, I wait in silent agony;
Rapture, simulated and artificial
Waiting; Implacable
Delusions of grandeur, concealing my tainted soul
Soon I will be free
On Firday I was help up at gunpoint. I was tied up with my own shoelaces. My phone, wallet, car and all its contents were stolen. My camera was in my car, along with my brand new 50mm f/1.4 usm lens. I hadn’t even used it yet. 200 dvds. My clothes. My LIFE.
No more pictures. Nice knowing you.
Fuck it. The world can fuck itself.
Life’s a mess. dA has been put on the backburner, as there are far more important issues dominating my life at the moment. Those of you who know me will understand this.
Go look at =stevenjm. A fantastic fractal artist, and more importantly, a wonderful friend. Thank you for the subscription Steven. I’d probably have lost all motivation to submit anything new if not for you.
Later.
So, I’d like to start by saying that I’ve been away for a while. I’m aware that I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, and that there’s a great many things I promised a great many people that I’d do. If you’re one of these people, I’m sorry. I’ll make an effort in the next while to rectify things.
Things have been getting a little out of hand here at work recently, and I desperately need to spend some time getting back on track. dA has taken a bit of a back seat due to this fact. As soon as things settle down here, I promise to update with some more work.
Until then, your patience is very much appreciated.

Hello
I’ve been absent for roughly the past week. On Saturday the 15th Jan at roughly 9:30 in the morning I was dragged out of my bed by paramedics. I had had a fit/seizure of sorts, and had bitten my tongue open rather badly. When the paramedics tested my blood sugar levels it was 1.2. A non-diabetic usually has a blood sugar level of about 5.
So I was rushed off to hospital, where they decided to keep me until yesterday. I was tested for epilepsy, and various other brain abnormalities. Luckily that all checked out alright. They kept me longer to observe my fluctuating sugar levels, though I must admit I’m not entirely sure they knew what they were doing. My muscles are pretty sore, and still feel quite tense. I’m on a bunch of antibiotics and painkillers now, so life feels quite different (read: woozy!).
Anyway.
Oh yeah, my PC specs are as follows:
—————————————- —-
Pentium 4 3.4 (775LGA)
4 x 200GB Seagate SATA 150 HDD’s
1GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia 6600GT PCI Express (128MB)
16x DVD/RW
WLan card
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Winfast TV2000XP Expert
—————————————- —-
I’ll try get some more artwork up soon-ish.

It’s here, it’s here! I got my new kit yesterday! It’s SO fantastic. The kit includes:
Canon EOS 300D Body (Limited black edition)
18-55 Lens (USM)
Vertical battery grip
Spare battery
Cokin UV filter
Polarising filter
Lowepro carry bag
I’ve taken a few shots this morning, and results are GOOD. Compared to my G6, this camera is in another league altogether. Firstly, manual focusing rocks! The auto focus is VERY quick. The lens is pretty versatile (to start off with). I still need to get used to doing things the ‘manual’ way, but WOW, oh WOW, I’m gonna have some fun with this!
Tomorrow, I’ll be heading off on holiday for a week. I’ll be sure to take hundreds of pics, so expect some new work when I get back!

I got a tablet for my birthday yesterday. It’s gonna be cool for photo touch ups, etc. Here’s a quick scetch: -> [link] . I guess I just need to learn how to draw now!
I am so stuffed. We went out last night to celebrate my birthday. Needless to say a steady supply of alcohol was forced upon me! Good thing today was a public holiday, and I’m not working tomorrow either.
I need coffee.
kthxbaai!
My camera has been stolen.
I will no longer be taking photographs.
I cannot afford a new camera. I had to save for months to purchase my last one.
I no longer wish to live here.
Pity.
I was enjoying myself.
So, I sold my camera yesterday.
Rather, I sold my second hand Canon G6 for more that what I purchased it for brand new. *beam*. I plan on getting myself the 300D now (Some may bash it, and advise me otherwise, but the fact of the matter is that I’ve already purchased a spare BP-511 battery pack, as well as memory cards, etc. To move to another brand would be a bit of a waste). Feeling quite excited about it now!
It’s my brother’s birthday tomorrow, and I still have no idea what to get for him.
Work is shit.

Well, I just finished watching “50 First Dates” & “Along came Polly”. My mom’s requests. We’ll leave it at that.
So, moving right along, I also just purchased my first subscription to DA. That probably explains why I’m writing this arb journal entry - I had to try out all the nifty new features!
Also, today I got told that I’m in the wrong profession - that I should stop being a geek and take up photography. I took that as quite a compliment. (If only she knew how little I actually know!). I also finally go my car back, after a week and a half. I hate relying on other people for transport. Eck. What else? Oh yeah, take a look at [link] for some FANTASTIC wallpapers.
It’s my brothers birthday on Saturday, and mine next Wednesday. If anyone knows some magical method of doubling up money really quickly, let me know, mmkay?!
Right. Bedtime.
Baaai!
