About Me

I spend my days perpetrating evil in the form of public relations and marketing for an architecture firm, my nights prolonging the inevitable and my weekends waging a constant war between my social dichotomy. It's all about the balance (and the small things).
This is a commemorative milo I made for World Environment Day. You can see the milo representing dirt and the green milk representing plants. Though my intentions were pure, the psychosomatic affect of drinking green milk was unpleasant.

Doing anything for "the sake of it"
When people tell you they know a secret but won't tell you what it is
Queues/traffic jams and any other form of gratuitous waiting (including crossing Nicholson St in peak hour)
Being pre-empted
Dishonesty
Goodbyes
Being misunderstood
Not having any money
Getting dirty
Crowds, particularly on public transport/lifts
The tyranny of distance
Contentment

    MOTHERFUCKING MYSPACE OF THE YEAR
