Spiderman tattoos and why they're awesome...

Well, I'm a Spiderman fan. Not so much of the movies (although I did enjoy the first one), but the comics have always entertained me. I've even got a few classic collectible ones. I think the most fan-boy-esque Spiderman possession is a very cool Spiderman baseball jersey. With all that though, there is no way I could ever beat this guy. His tattoos are a statement of love that I could never hope to match. Take a look:

Now that is a hardcore fan right there, let me tell you! If you want more info, take a look here.

I've finally down-graded from fan-boy to fan. Thank god for tattoo freak!

Sling Shots

Now I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "God... here we go again, he's going to ramble on about a damn slingshot and some kind of Zombie Apocalypse." and normally you'd be right. I do love my Zombie Plans but on this occasion I have something else in mind. Coming up in the very near future we have Frejak's birthday and we will be heading out to one of Brisbane's premier night spots, the fabulous Sling Lounge. I've loved this place since I first turned up. Let me tell you the story of why.

Back in the day, the Lychee Lounge was pretty much my favourite place to go out to in Brissy. The reason was that while the location and atmosphere were great, the drinks were just off the charts. While most of the staff there were pretty good, when I first went, I went with a good friend of mine that had worked at the Lychee Lounge and as a consequence, all our drinks were made by the best guy in the joint, Dustin Davis. Davis is a whiz behind the bar and so every time I went back, he was the one that we had making our drinks. I never got to know Davis super well, but he's the kind of guy that is smart enough to know that I will rave about him to anyone that wants to listen so he treats me well. When he left the Lychee Lounge to start up his own place with 2 other accomplished colleagues, I was more than happy to follow, thus I ended up at Sling. The more I go back, the more I get to say hi and see what he's doing with the place and truthfully, I just love being able to say we know the guy, he's just awesome.

If you haven't been yet, you should and you don't have to take my word for it either as there are a few others that are just as happy to rave about the place. It's not hard to find and it's very easy to want to stay there. The food is great, the cocktail list is seemingly endless and the place has such an awesome quality to it that you will not want to leave. Some people like bar hopping, but me, I'll stay planted at Sling and soak it up. I'm looking forward to Frejak's birthday, should be a great time with some great people. I just hope they remember to get back to her soon so we know how many to book for!

Best place for alcohol abuse ever!

Dear god, why?

Well, it's close enough to 2am and I can't sleep. Brilliant. I have to get up at 6:30am to get ready for work (yes, I'm working through my second Saturday in a row) and I don't like my chances. Since I have time, a laptop and nothing better to do, I thought I'd throw something up.

On November 3rd myself, JZ, Frejak and possibly Kahn (if he's interested) will be going to The Black Crusade. Arch Enemy are opening (good for them), Machine Head are headlining (w00t! Probably the last time we'll get the chance to see them here in Australia) and the best part... Tivium are filling the middle slot on the bill. This is good news for me since Demoniak got me interested in Trivum a little while ago and I've since become quite a fan. In case you were wondering why, this little clip of Matt and Cory playing the solo from 'In The Fire' should answer any questions you may have.



How freakin' sweet are Matt's 'tasty licks'? It's like his fingers are made of some kind of lightning and they're greased with maple syrup! That's how sweet it is! Anyhow, I'm looking forward to it. Should be a lot of fun.

If only I had some kind of musical talent... or in fact any kind of talent.

I'm not planning on putting up too many vids, but this one is pretty damn good. If I could do this sort of thing, the world would be a much better place. Check it out.

Worship at the alter of precision!

Rock Concert Movement #237:

Taking the audience on a Jungian journey into the collective unconscious, using the shadow as a metaphor for the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and also by using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to represent both the depths of the psyche and the dungeon-like isolation of our increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from finding satisfying work or meaningful connections with others.

Just a quick reminder

Thought you should all know:

I ROCK, you got that? I fuckin' ROCK!

Sweet. I feel much better knowing that you know that.
