erky squerky

Posted by maria on May 13, 2008

Blogging. You could say that I am sick of it. Yeah, I know it doesn’t make sense because I don’t do enough it. I’m not down with the current hip batch of bloggers, so I wouldn’t be able to differentiate my Scobles from my Kottkes. You could say that it’s all very erky squerky. Kind of like my life right now.

Work is like my personality. Ruddy bipolar. There are days when being there makes me feel higher than smoking da ‘erb (not that I personally condone people partaking in the consumption of illegal substances… *loud cough*). Other days, it’s a case of “Get me the fuck out of here before I go postal on your arse with your shitty database system that always crashes”. My old mate, Cynicism (not an online nick) has come to visit me once again and with him, he’s brought the gatecrashing Indifference, Indecisiveness, Annoyance and Apathy. Put them all together, combine with a bottle of your finest Smirnoff beverage and you have one woman that doesn’t give a shit anymore.

A word of advice from NotDrPhil. Don’t get into a relationship crisis when the ol’ Black Dog starts nipping at your ankles either. Don’t get into a relationship crisis with someone who has a Black Dog nipping at their ankles as well. In the end, it causes nothing but hurt. For some reason, the lead up to winter over here in .au has always messed with my head.

I’m tired of fake, two-face snobby people. You know, the kinds you think you can trust but when you turn your back they’re either making fun of you when talking to other people, they think they are too good to say hi to you or they just plain think that because they earn three dollars more than you an hour that they can treat you like a pile of inferior garbage.

I’m sick of so-called partners that get their knickers into such a twist over little things such as talking to or hanging out with people of the opposite sex. Mr so-called partner decides to go emotionally postal. Here! Would you like a medal for that? Go awaaaaay!

I’m thankful for the little things in life though. True friends who will take the time to listen and give appropriate shoves in the right direction. Intellectual conversation that doesn’t revolve around the same four boring “safe topics”. Feeling useful. Not feeling like I’m being treated like a ‘tard because I have a lazy eye (I heart my gimpy eye!). Waking up in the morning and feeling that yes, you have some minute purpose in life. It’s little things like that that make life tolerable.

This is why I hate blogging. Every damn post turns into a personal diary entry that belongs in a Livejournal, Xanga or some other random girly type journal gubbins.

the old SUB FM mixing deskI miss the gorgeous girl to the left of screen. We used to spend one day a week together being intimate with each other. She used to love it when I played with her faders and she made the most amazing sounds when I gently adjusted the EQs.

The last time I saw her was back in 2004, during my final radio show. Who would’ve thought that we would part on such sad terms.

It was a fun seven years (and three mixing desks) of hosting a radio show at SUB FM.

Sadly, the radio station ceased to exist due to the former Liberal Government being a pack of wankers by wielding the Voluntary Student Union axe and making mince meat of everything that was “fun” at uni.

The old radio show host side of my personality hasn’t died. I’m in the midsts of putting together a podcast site with a DJ Mix posted every so often. It’s not good ol’ SUB FM but it’s the next best thing.

Some things are best left unsaid…

busy much?

Pinch punch, second of the month. No returns. Ok, ok, so I am a day late. March kinda slapped me in the face yesterday and with that then end of the calm before the storm. It’s been nothing but zoom, zoom, zoom…..AAARGH in the life of Maria. I’ve always bitched about there not being enough time in the day to get things done. I never realised how busy life can get once you score a small promotion at work for simply knuckling down and not faffing about.

I’m now a Sales Coach at work. All the bouncing around like a lunatic, drawing up strategies to get results and being extremely vocal at my desk has paid off. I now have an excuse to bounce around and be annoying. If it gets results, it keeps the powers that be happy and if the powers that be are happy, I can ruddy well pay the bills and buy food.

Yay for capitalism!!!

It hasn’t all been work, work, work though. I recently discovered the aural and visual cocaine that is Audiosurf. It’s the trippiest puzzle game this side of Sudoku. You control a little spaceship that rides along a highway that is constructed and controlled by the type of music that’s playing. I highly recommend this game if you love games that are musical and pretty. You can purchase Audiosurf from Steam.

If I could describe last month in a youtube video, this would be it.

happy vd, bitches
