if i had one chance to freeze time and stand still and soak in everything, i'd choose right now. and if i had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything, i'd choose right now

my song spamwich
So I've recently discovered a few great songs that deserve a post! Strangely enough, I discovered these songs through videos that were linked to one another. Praise you Youtube :-)
Anyway here they are!
I discovered this band through watching a few skate videos that had their music playing in the background. They're an American folk type group that started out in 2004 I think. There's not much info on these guys since they're kind of 'underground'.
This song was linked to an Angus and Julia Stone video I was watching. To me it was one of those songs that I just loved instantly, and didn't have to listen over a few times to like (most songs on radio nowdays ha!). He's from Pennsylvania and grew up playing the piano, trombone, banjo, melodica, ukulele, guitar and mandolin. Another random fact, he worked as a mental health therapist which I thought was interesting :-) He too is kind of unknown, but has had a few songs played on tv dramas such as Grey's Anatomy (puke!).
Funny enough, I was watching a video on dogs which played this song in the background. I have to say, this is probably one of the most mellow songs I've ever listened to. Kind of 'takes me to that special place' ha.
These guys are based in Amsterdam, and once again wiki hasn't got any info on these guys boo :-(
Anyway, my coffee break is done!
BYE!

My *New* guitars and some happy snaps from vietnam!
I was woken up this morning by the postman guy at the door, and no this is not some intro to some corny porno... Anyway, my guitar had finally come! It is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard.
le package
I skipped uni to make the last minute bid! Well it was only just one lecture.
Here is my 2nd newest guitar which I bought from Vietnam, and as you can see it still has the price sticker on the bridge of the guitar because when I took half of it off there was that bloody sticky resin... How much did i get it for considering it was from Vietnam? 5,200,000 dong, i'll let you figure that out yourself if you can be bothered, if not tough luck my friend.
Here's an acoustic I also got from Vietnam, and was my temporary guitar for a week since I got really bored a lot of the times over there. Feeling a little charitable, I decided to give it to my cousin who lives there. The price of this sweet baby was 250,000 dong, and again I'll let you smart smart people figure that out for yourselves.
Some fighting cocks/roosters at the local market!
Do you see anything interesting in this photo?
HOW ABOUT NOW! Its a natural rock formation of what seems to be a woman with a baby on her back. Oooo chills. The locals say that it was naturally occurring, but find it hard to believe.
COWS! There are lots of cows in Vietnam.
My cousin's and I did the unthinkable... yes that's right we watched Eclipse! How was the movie? Shit. That's all you need to know. Another observation, Vietnamese people tend to be extremely loud in the cinemas there... >: 9
Rain that came out of nowhere.
Mum really liked this hat we got from Ha Long Bay, so I took a photo!
Dearest grandmother! 90 and still going strong!
Cousin's wedding reception, she's taller than him ahah.
VIETNAMESE TERRORISTS! Nah jokes, we'd make bad terrorists anyway. Just look at their getaway car!
Some illegal driving. Flipping the bird has now become a popular form of body language on the streets!
Result of illegal driving.
Cousin Jen
And to finish off, the Scrubs soundtrack!

Things I'm looking forward to:
- Visiting Dr. Acular with Emily to finally give blood after exams!
- Trip to Vietnam
- MUSE!!! SDHFKJDSKDSLFLDS;ML;SDMFLKSDJKFDMSNLK MUSEEE!!!! Thanks Michelle for the awesome tickets!:- )

and Land Down Under by Men at Work came close!
After countless mentions of dogs in my conversations over the past few weeks, I thought I might post some photos of my dog Milly! She's a Jack Russell cross with some other dog, Maltese maybe? Who knows...

My life thus far
To those people who are excited about finishing year 12 to move onto uni and experience that feeling of freedom, don't be. Sorry to burst yo bubble, but its just the truth. Why spend 13 years of stressful schooling, just to get a good enough score in order to spend another 3 - 5 years of extra mind numbing work? It just doesn't make any sense... S'cuse me while i jump off this bridge. Is what someone would say who hates their uni/tafe course! But nah, uni is great despite all the bloody assignments and exams... Good news is that i've got clinical placements next semester! My first placements are going to be in aged care, and I cannot wait! Finally i get to be a somebody! A somebody who gives sponge bathes to the elderly... BUT YEAH, should be super fun working with the older generation!
Anyway, for my group's upcomming assignment we are required to come up with a case scenario involving a man aged >65 suffering medical conditions and blah blah. Heres what my group and I came up with...
- Antonio Gavanga, aged 68
- has a daughter living independantly with 3 grandchildren aged 10
- carpenter
- is of Italian background (moved from Italy 30 years ago)
- wife passed away 2 years ago from breast cancer
- a stroke victim, and only has partial motor skills on the left side of his body
- is easily irritated
- shows signs of depression
- suffers from arthritis
- has an addiction to pain killers, as he is dependent on it to relieve the pain in his joints
Poor Antonio has it tough...
Goot-bai! :-)
PS: "eff" you to the drugged up lady who spilled coke on my jeans on the train today.
