A friend of mine posted this on the Facebooks today and I just had to share it.
I'm not usually that into electronic music that isn't Jackson Jackson, but the music and the animation in this video are absolutely fantastic.
Another thing I learnt today is the name of the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I always thought it was weird that it didn't have a name, and was happy to find out that it did. For those playing at home it's called Holy Saturday or Black Saturday. Growing up ...

I had a lovely day today; it's good to be back in Australia and back at school. It was also good to miss the heatwave we had while I was away. The only down thing about today is that it's Mick's birthday and once again we're separated by the ocean.
I'm obviously feeling happier than I have been, because I've started doing some poetry and I'm blogging. Note to the three people subscribed here, when I blog I'm happy and confident :D. Anywho, the poem I've started looks like it will be a nice son... Continue reading...
What's goin' orn? Mick's concert is on in a couple weeks. The 19th of September to be exact. If you went to the home page before this here blog you would have seen this:
Very exciting stuff. Everything is going along swimmingly. If you come along you'll even get to see ol' Danjanon sing a couple songs. How about that 'ey?
The club I'm involved in on facebook 'The Random Club' had their first not so anual photography competition. Congratulations to all the winners! You w... Continue reading...

So, at the moment in my life I feel like on more occasions than usual, the word 'sorry' would make things easier. When I was younger my parents instilled in me the importance of apologising. Here is a regular situation involving my brother, my mum and myself.
Mum: Dan, did you hit Matt? Spoken quietly while avoiding eye contact Dan: Yes Mum

Hey you!
As you may or may not know, I had my eyes checked last week by an optometrist. Turns out I need glasses, which I wasn't expecting which was stupid because I knew I couldn't see as well as I used to.I picked up my glasses and started wearing them straight away. The eye doctor said it may look a bit weird and a little disconcerting to start with, but even having heard that I wasn't prepared. Apparently, what happens, is that your brain is still correcting the bad eyesight that the glass... Continue reading...

Greetings & Salutations,
Today was generally a good day. Did well at work and got something done for Mick's concert which should be a major help. The launch date keeps creeping closer and closer. Before we know it, it'll be be September the 19th and 'Sincere Journey' by Michael Cook will be available to buy. He was in the local newspaper this week too. You can find the article on their website at

Hello everyone,
I know that there are millions of people all over the world reading my blog weekly for important updates of my life and the world around me. So when this happened a little while ago I found that it was important enough for me to talk about. This is something that I feel has effected pretty much everyone around the world in some way or another. Whether they felt it touched them personally or not at the very least they would be hearing people talk about it non stop. It's in the m...

So, when I put all the links up on my link page I realised it'd be the polite thing to ask some of the more official type websites (eg ones that aren't youtube accounts and sites for people I don't personally know) for permission to link to their site. I got onto the people at Questionable content, icanhascheezburger, Least I can Do and Cyanide and Happiness. XKCD has something on their FAQ giving people permission as long as you give them credit. I had a couple of prompt replies and I'm stil... Continue reading...

I've been enjoying playing around with this little site of mine and as you can probably tell I'm still working out some of the kinks. One thing that's puzzled me since its creation had been irking me. My counter on my front page has been showing a handful of people visiting the site, but it seemed that no one thought any of my stories or blogs were interesting enough to comment on. It made me a little sad, ya know? A couple of days ago I thought to myself "maybe comments aren't automatically ... Continue reading...

Hello to everyone out there on the internets who read my blog, (Seriously, it would have been quicker to have said "Hi Tabaneske and Mysticskeptic!"
I'm of two minds regarding this here blog. On the one hand I don't want to go around telling people about it, cos I kinda feel that it's a little like shameless self promoting. On the other hand I know I'd like it if I saw the counter on the front page go higher than 5. The funny thing is, the reason that it's a 5 is that I've viewed my own site o... Continue reading...
Very exciting stuff.
