Back online!

Greetings to all - I'm back up and posting from being away on holidays!
I'm glad to be back at home catching up on all I need to do. I was out having a great time at Black Stump '06 which was absolutely AWESOME for the first time going there! I got heaps of stuff out of the camp, like getting off ya butt and doing something (Make Poverty History) where they hung underpants on a clothes line just to show off lol. There was also poetry which I loved, I bought Camron Simmon's book - he's a performing artist with a witty collection poems and I also become star-struck (or sun struck in this case!) with the Sundance Kids who did an awesome performance I absolutely loved! There were plenty of other bands playing like Antiskeptic and Angela's Dish which rocked hardcore!

Apart from that amazing weekend @ Black Stump, I had to go straight up to sydney to help my parents clean and finish my old house. There's no comfy furniture or entertainment, it was quite boring. However! Yesterday I peered outside a window on the top floor and so a wolf/dog walking around the pool!! Half scared, half enthrawlled I ran down the stairs to tell Dad, who told me it was a Malbumut - which is like those Huskies that pull heavy sleds in the icy north pole. It was very young and extremely playful so we decided to lock it in so we could send it to RSPCA so they can take him back to his owner. It was such a beautiful dog! I wish i could love it forever but it would cost too much to look after him and take care of it and it would get very bored when we're not there. Awww it was sooo cute!!!

Articles Coming Soon

Hey everyone,
Sorry I've been absent from my blog because of all the work I've been doing. I haven't found much time for extra stuff in my life. But I'll get the rest of the website evaluations and articles in the next couple of days, so new posts will be up soon.

Overworked Healthrisk

One day I will probably pass out from working too much for college.

How do they expect me to have a 8 page script, a short story and a major design work piece finished in 2 weeks?

Sleepy Info

Hey all,

It's 2 am in the morning, visions getting a bit blurry, but I'll type up this info, just for you readers to understand what I'm doing. Just 'cuz I love ya! *dies*

I'm sorry for all those website evaluations I've posted up lately, I don't really have a choice in posting them or not, it's a part of my duty for schoolwork. I'm in a english class which is themed around website publishing, and part of the assessment is to type up these forms checking the efficiency level of 10 websites and to write about technology-related articles. The evaluations may be boring but the websites aren't!

Here are some examples (that are "cyberspace" related):

• Someone with the name Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 on Wikipedia.
• There's also a "Beginner's Guide to the Darkness of Cyberspace" article on Associated Content PLUS a Blogger Explanation Tutorial for n00bs with a woman with a nice voice talking. ;)

GFX Artist Website

PLUS the very famous Save Dickson College song - made mainly by Callum from music.

Image Hosting

I was surfing around after I did my website evaluations and I came across my favourite game on Newgrounds.

It's called "Dad'n'Me" and it was made by Tom Fulp, the founder of Newgrounds. I just find the flash game helarious, even though it violent. The great thing about it is that I don't feel sick from beating up all these defenseless people because the game is just so animated. I laughed several times the first time I played it and it still makes me smile now.

RIP Sammy

Sammy

My cat Sammy, who I have known all my life, has passed away within the past week.

I don't think I could describe how much he meant to me. We loved each other so much. He had a very nice long life for a cat though - lasting for 21 years and 8 months. Sammy was amazing. No matter how much he aged, he was still cute and beautiful to me.

He used to lie in the sun when he wanted to warm up on Saturday mornings. He knew exactly the right times that he wanted his meals. When he was younger he was strong, tall and independent but as he grew older he became accustomed to homely habits like wearing a little red jumper in winter, howling when he wanted attention and sitting on his little cat rug when he wanted to snooze.

I find it so hard to let him go out of my mind. I haven't stopped crying about it for the past two days. I just can't believe he's gone, and I didn't even say a real goodbye to him, or touch his fur and show how much I loved him. It was love that kept him going and there's a part of me regretting not seeing him for the last time before he moved on from this life. At least my mum said that when he was buried, he looked at peace from his hurting body. I'm glad he's found a better place. I will miss him sincerely.

Plagued With Sickness

I haven't been well this whole week.
I've got the flu, like many other people, so we're all suffering at the moment. It started at the left side of my throat, spread to my ear, nose and head one by one. Luckily it didn't get to my chest, which is good. I wanted to do a lot of homework over the weekend, including getting heaps of work done on this blog, but the plague hit me and I was unable to feel comfortable out of my bed until today. I tried going to school yesterday but I felt so terrible when I got home, everything was just too fast and too impersonal. I'm going to try to come tomorrow though, I'm probably optimistic if I get to the first line of maths in the morning though :(.

I'm so behind now. I don't know what I'm going to do.

I'll get some poetry up here soon, right now it's really late and I should be getting to bed. There's heaps I want to write here though, I know I'll never have enough time to fit it in though. We shall see.

Continuing on..

Click the title. It goes to an awesome blog full of interesting sketches. Motivates me to sketch more. I wish life had more time so I could relax and take my time to draw what ever I wanted. A week or two ago I did that on a bus but I only had about 10 minutes so all I drew was the back of someone's head. I'll scan it in for you to see. Maybe some of the people that live around the ACT could guess whereabouts I was sitting on the bus.

I finally figured out some sketched for my design class. I've got a couple of designs for cars and one design for a shoe. They need a lot of working on though. They are just ideas for now. I also need a third item in the area of transport, I was thinking something along the lines of a transport tube, like in Futurama, or maybe a futuristic elevator tube. Honestly I'm not too keen on designing products with no gravity involved. After all, if there was no gravity, we would be dead. Thank God for that!! (No really.. I do thank god for that :P)

I wanted to post up something yesterday but I never got around to it because I collapsed on the couch and slept away the night. After on and off sleep I finally work up and realized I was still in the lounge room at 3:50 in the morning! Maybe it's from all those times of reading past midnight or just mucking around on the computer at night for too long.. or maybe just because of school. At least I can sleep a lot - some of my friends have been sleeping less than 5-6 hours every night. One has been especially sick for some time now :(. At least I got my flu injection this year so I wouldn't get sick this winter. Only one more month until winter is over :D!! I'll be glad because I don't have to suffer the bitter winds that blow constantly where I live.
I'll post a website evaluation before I go, but I'd better do it quickly because it's getting pretty late.
*Yawn*,

-#1-

Well here's my first post.
Am I meant to introduce myself? Call me Flik. I live in Australia. I'm turning 17 soon.
I don't have much to say about myself but I do have much to say about issues and problems that face this world today. So that's what I'll use this blog for.
I'm at school at the moment. This is actually a school project, so I'm going to have heaps of fun with this and make this blog as interesting as I can make it. So I'm going to write about what inspires me, what concerns me and what I find interesting or maybe even funny.
I'm going to go now, next time I'll talk about what inspires me.
Signing off for now,
Flik
