It’s been a long while since I last posted on here but I’m sick, I’m bored and I feel like writing so here goes.
I can tell you that the last few months have been pretty intense. I guess the beginning of the year is always busy but recently things have just been ridiculous. Now it’s nearing exams and the middle of the year it’s bound for it all to settle down but I’ve just taken a squiz at what’s to come over the next couple months and I’m pretty sure that life’s about to get a whole lot busier. But I guess I’m one of those fast pace people who like being busy, it keeps me on my toes and give me an excuse to not think about the worse things in my life. Being busy is a great distraction for me, keeping busy got me through a lot of hard times in my life and kept me from breaking down. I’ve noticed that when something is on my mind, or when I’m sad I’m one of those people who won’t let anyone know and ‘bottles it up inside’ for one lonely, cold night in which they have a chance to think everything through and realise how much their life sucks. Yeah, that’s me. Because of the type of person I am with my friends and how I am at school, I act completely differently in front of them and most would never picture me having a serious conversation or thinking seriously at all (yes Rachel, this is aimed at you). To suddenly tell them all the complex things on my mind and breakdown all my problems in front of them really don’t seem like it would work. For those that know me and those that are reading this, I think you’d agree. I could tell you that I’m unhappy and that my life is far from perfect but would you be able to picture it in your mind? I doubt it. There are a million reasons to love my life right now but still plenty of reasons I’d rather not exist.
I’m pretty disappointed with myself, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to get my mosh on but I’ve been somewhat ignorant of music for awhile, probably because of all that busyness but from now on I vow to get back into my love of the sound. Last weekend I went down to The Richmond Central Club Hotel with Butters and a couple other friends to see Charlie Red (an old SKC band) play at Bandtasia. First walking in there I was like, crap what have I got us all into but I think Butters would agree, it was a great night. A little different from our normal gig scene, Bandtasia kind of reminded me of some of the stuff I used to listen to way back when and it’s sparked me to go back through a lot of my forgotten loves. I suppose you could say content wise, Bandtasia was a little lacking (mind you, these bands are only up and comers) however, some of the performances were really..i guess you could say.. engaging?

Mechanical Animal.. a far from average performance.
Oh also for lovers of Foals and British India be sure to take a listen to there new albums as I’m told they’re quite good, I’m about to start listening to them myself. Also.. I must say I’m supperrr pumped for the release of Ratatat’s new record :D
*excitement*
Art wise, I’m exploring. I’m into dark and twisted surrealism at the moment and I’m beginning work on a new canvas my dear mother picked up over the weekend so once I’m done I’ll be sure to take a snap and post it up here. Also, I just got my hands on an old sigma telescopic lens so I’ll most likely be using some of my latest snaps soon.
(yeah not like that..i wish)
Well, that’s it from me
Brooke.

Of course i take you seriously brooke, particularly when you ask me about every thought the pops into you mind (a strange strange yet addictive place) and revet to your three year old self during genetics class. haha.

Brooke, thank you for finally bringing the delicious pancakes and orange juice to the Breakfast Table, we were starting to get hungry.
Again, thank you for bringing us an insight into the crazy yet wonderful mind of yours. Just remember that it's not always good for one to keep everything bottled up. I shouldn't be one to talk as I do bottle up my most private things, and I'm not saying you have to tell the whole world, but on occasion it's good to express your feelings to another human being (or cat whatever works) to prevent you having a mental break down (not unlike the one I had last Thursday night).
Also, since you are rediscovering your music, I may need your assistance due to my lack of "taste" beyond the so-called invention of the radio.
Love Cock
