Blarghan!

I've read through my blog and all i can say is what the fuck? It's almost as if my posts involve me having a poll up my ass while writing this shit out. There's no real laid-back nature which i really enjoy, the posts feel forced and just don't really reflect myself at all, perhaps my interests but that's about it.

I'm even more annoyed that my dog finds it necessary to rub up against me it's that time of week again where suddenly everything just heats up all of a sudden. Which isn't due for another day, but whatever.

So, i think that's what the blogs about.

Here's a video of a song I've had in my head all day it's slightly repetitive which probably explains why it's been in my head all day. And yea... I'm a JJJ or FBi junkie when it comes to radio.



I totally just remembered about what i was going to post but then forgot to post. I've drawn a few pretty stupid comics in my spare time and i uploaded two online, they're crap quality because i got sick and tired of trying to do a good job at them and gave up on the perfectionism. I might try to at least straighten up the panels and draw with a better pen. This stuff goes under the name of Dick Lizard.

A Destiny...

I have an outlook to the future. A distinct path to follow.
Which, i'm happy i have. I am a man of direction. If i am given a way to go, i'll follow it.
What am i referring to? Well, I've been accepted into Wesley Institute Christian College.
It's a bit Christian, as the name says, which i am not too keen on but is something i can at least deal with.
But the main point is that i can go here if nothing else comes up for next year and do a Bachelor of Music.
Which i am really surprised i made it this far but i did it.
I was more-so wanting to be a school teacher for Primary or Secondary teacher, but at least doing this can lead into becoming a Secondary Teacher eventually. With less years to complete i think.
But i might not become a teacher by then i might find something else to do...
Or i might get accepted into a different Uni and go there anyways.
But the main focus is that my mind is left a bit more at peace knowing that i will do something next year.

I also noticed my blog is filled with not so much opinions of stuff. So i'll get to fixing that up in future reference when i get some new blogs going. And if you want to email me at captain_obviouso@hotmail.com i just feel it was necessary to post it for some reason.

Watched The Prestige Will Post Opinions Now!

The Prestige is a mystery thriller released in 2006 with big names like Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johanson, Michael Caine and even David freakin' Bowie. And is directed/written by Christopher Nolan most notable for his director/writing works of the new Batman films.

The Prestige is much more than just a film with a string of big name actors.

It follows the storyline of two Magicians with a past together trying to see who is the better magician. But the story really does add more than that to fill the surface. The film involves death of ones family, accidentally messing up an act that could cause an injury and really just the blood thirsty revenge at stake between the two. Without ruining too much more i'll do the white text below and keep out any more spoilers.

This film might as well be the gateway between me and going into more of Christopher Nolan's works, i've already seen Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But the depth of the film is just great, a late 1900/ early 2000 century atmosphere is built, along with the failure and pain involved with a magician. Not always goes to plan as seen in the movie. 

Within the first minutes the characters are introduced. 

Angier has just been killed by Borden during one of his acts, by the underwater escape trick. Involving falling into a water tank then pulling out a metal bar at the top to remove the faulty lock. What we don't know is any back story as to why anything has occurred. How did Borden even kill Angier?

From here we are following the Diary of Angier's constant look for Borden's famous The Transported Man trick. And later in the film it's Angier looking thgough Borden's diary, so the cross here is quite confusing at first to gain the over-all where the movie is at. But once you get the gain, you'll find the movie easy to look through

Then we are taken back to the beginning, the re-occurring theme of underwater escape tricks is present, showing Angier's wife doing the trick with ease.

We are now shown to the opposite, the accident during the act that changes everything.

Robert Angier's (Hugh Jackman) wife is killed by Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) accidentally during a underwater escape trick gone terribly wrong where Borden ties a different knot when he was told not to in a cut-scene earlier.

From there the pair move away and the rivalry between the two grows from there. Angier goes on to make his own Magician show The Great Danton with his mentor Cutter (Michael Caine), Borden makes his own act The Professor. Angier then destroys Borden's act of The Catching Bullet by shooting a real bullet at him. And Borden sabotages Angier's act of the disappearing bird without killing the bird.

Along with Borden's new trick The Transported Man, Angier goes as far to find the secret of the act and in look for revenge.

I'll leave it there. For now. I really am finding it difficult to post more about the movie, i overly enjoyed it but i really can't string a well pieced essay together too well. So take it for what the movie is and expect nothing. Deciphering the clues ruins the movie altogether.

Friendships

I've noticed over the last 2 weeks (co-incidentally 2 weeks since the HSC), that i'm just loosing touch with some of my friends at school. And when the opportunity does arise it's "Hey come to schoolies!", or "We'll go to the pub sometime"

Which that is all fine and dandy but just really doesn't give it a real chance, i can't really just go out to where-ever and just spend like $1000+ just to hang out (house rental, petrol, food, booze, spending, etc), because to put it simply i don't work and my parents really didn't want me to go to schoolies in the first place (not that we were going to QLD anyways). And going to the pub sometime doesn't really do me either, i can't just drive home after slugging down a beer.

The point is, why can't we just hang out normally? Without the need to go and rent out a house for a week or go to the pub and drink. Sure it's a nice excuse to hang out but it just excludes people that aren't 18 and it's a complication to hanging out.

Someone i know will say "Hey why didn't you go to the Beach yesterday?" Because some people in my grade did that yesterday. To put it in simple terms, i just don't really like that a group of what... 20-30 people went to the group, and i barely like most of them anyways. Like they're these "Facebraggers" a term my friend Michael has coined. Where it's just a bunch  of bragging about getting hammered over Facebook and starting fights with each other... Over Facebook.

I just don't understand people's need to have an excuse to hang out anymore. Just hang out seriously. There is no need for a special occasion except it's an excuse to drink or spend.

Just to put this out there.
But i'm not a social isolate, i have been hanging out with some friends since the HSC and it's been fun! I just question the people i have been hanging out with for the last year or two who i know as my friends.

Watched Star Trek Will Post Opinions Now!

The new Star Trek movie released 2009 has to be the BEST Sci-Fi Movie i have ever seen, without spoiling too much the movie is basically based on the creation of their crew following namely James. T. Kirk and Spock. Which, that's just touching the surface i really don't want to ruin anything if you haven't seen it.

So please don't read the text below which should be well hidden. [highlight it]

The movie is a fucking masterpiece of it's time in terms of Science Fiction Movies, i don't think one has been well pulled off without the use of the end of the world and an alien invasion in recent times. The thing that also gained a lot of my interest is the inclusion of time travel and totally fucking up the chain of events that should have occurred, such as the planet Volcon being destructed in the past, and James dad George being killed, which didn't happen at all in the original series, being both new to Trekkie and people just watching the movie. Of course some of them would pick up every detail to some extent, but for us new commers it's just the beginning, really this movie has encouraged me to actually look through the past Star Trek movies before the genre turns into a Soap Opera/Sci-Fi, perhaps i should watch the original series.


So yea, definitely rent it and see it i recommend the movie for sure.
