Defining Normal as a Music Hog

I was just having lazy yarn with a friend who used to be just like me with music.
A hog.
A music hog.

Its funny because when i discover a new band (and usually every song i hear of theirs i fall in love with) I get so excited! and therefore it goes on repeat.

I dunno what it is but when i really like a song, like really reaally like a song, i get so into it i never want it to end. I cant even describe how good it makes me feel.

The only thing that comes close (and i always think it) that i will marry either the song or the artist, or the artists creativity.

obviously if you marry it you own all rights to the amazingness of the song. Thats just standard.

I only share it to a few knowing that most people probably wouldnt like it which i dont understand.
But as soon as a band i like goes mainstream, theyre cut.

I dont know what it is, Lachs like "you only hate mainstream cause youre trying to be all different n stuff"
But its not even like that, i just really dont like whats out there at the moment.
But then when i do...i hate that other people like it.
Its like a band is my little baby and as soon as lame people hear it, it goes rotten.

Its hard to explain.
Im a contradictor :)

Embracn' it

p.s im totaly winning the above fight, must be all that Muay Thai ;p

Fashiontage

Ive been collecting looks i like :)

Not so cool

Our store had a mini makeover...and it was filmed

We primarily sell alot of fitness supplements and other health supplements in our store and our skin care range was lacking in the sales department, so the owner decided to swap the skincare stuff over to the side for customers to view easily.

He also decided it would be a great idea to film the process as a fun dvd for ALL Health 2000 stores.
This included a training session in skincare which i was selected to participate in

I hate cameras
I go wierd and usually stare blankly into them smiling awkwardly.

I was also chosen to have my skin analysed on camera too, so yeah

Its pretty awesome to know that the whole of New Zealand knows that i get breakouts exc
-____-

She used the word 'pimple' to refer to me on camera wayy too many times for my liking :(

Seeing the final product will be the death of me.

I should have lived in the 80s

Addicted to Twin Shadow

DIY

Yesterday was great. I spent my 45minutes walking on the tredmill
and thoughts devoured my concentration.
What awesome clothes am i going to DIY once ive finished uni?!

Which could be this week i might add :)

At the top of my list is this embellished boustier.
It would make such a cool competing bikini, id have to ask Tarren if it would be allowed.
Im sure it'd make me stand out from the crowd

Non-Smokers Die Everyday

Fitness Inspiration

Jennifer Nicole Lee can i just BE you?

Like i said, I went to see Tarren to see how i was going and according to her i have lost 3% bodyfat.

Stink thing is, i cant reeaallyy tell.

Im really impatient though, i want to look like the above right now and get on stage asap for shape.

I read alot of articles and get confused about what im doing cause things contradict. Like some diets say no artificial sugar some say have protein bars.

Makes me freak out a bit cause i dont know if what im doing will get me better results than some other plan.

The girls at the gym have their first show tomorrow which i miss out on watching cause im working.

Hearing them get excitied about everything and organising everything makes me so excited too but i have to wait untill im ready.

Trying to remember slow and steady wins the race like my recent post. 

But, in the back of my mind im like "2 months till bikini time" :s


p.s. totally have those gloves ;p

New Love

I have just properly discovered Royksopp and have fallen in love
Bassy instrumentals mmmmm
back to youtube convert to mp3 for me :)

Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold. - Maurice Setter

How many times are we blind to the good in front of us because we're looking past it for something better? 


It's like watching the railroad track your entire life, waiting for a train to come in and never realizing that you're sitting smack in the middle of the splendid Grand Central Station. 


Take a second look at your goals. Are they building on the good already in your life? 


Are you taking full advantage of the strengths you already have? 
Is it worth giving up what you have for what you might have?


 In many cases, the answer is yes. To that we say "Go for it!" with all the enthusiasm we can muster. 
Those are the meaningful goals. 


If the answer is no, try reworking your goals to include ones that complement your present life rather than substitute for it. 


Whatever the answer is for you, we could all use a little more appreciation for the pieces of silver in our lives.

"For my final post I created a wee slideshow for my photography this semester. Inspired by an interview I did earlier on in the year with a lonely character called Murray, recieving good feedback I thought I would take a few more personal shots of him and home life. All in all was a super interesting day where I really started to appreciate where I am in life, family I have, Friends I have made and experiences thus far in life as others don't have it all so easy." - Kyle

Beautiful work dude, perfect soundtrack also
