Saw this on the back of a toilet door the other day. Impressive. Rumour has it that Steve jobs wrote it – but others suggest it was a good old copywriter.

And the reasoning behind this is this:

”When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step.  Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.

Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves.  Microorganisms are at work.  Molecules are rearranging themselves.  So death isn’t to be found anywhere.  There is only the metamorphosis of life forms.  What can you learn from this?”

I know this should be a picture of a leafy forest. But this seams right at the moment.

So. Like. If you didn’t know two mates and I have just finished making a girls surfing movie. First Love. And it rocks. We’ve received a lot of feedback from the screenings but the main comment was – ‘awesome tunes, where did you find them all?’  ‘Triple J and their Unearthed Website. It’s totally radnuts.’ We replied.

Thanks to the brains trust at Triple J we’ve put together the wickedest, all Australian surf film soundtrack ever, trevor. It’s madness. It took a while, and Clare and I listened to a lot of uuurrr not-so-amazingness, but we put our head down and soon came across some gems.  Bands we included from the website are Major Chord, Tom Richardson, Big Scary, Justin Carter, The Smoke, The Melodics, SolarStares and the amazing Tim and Jean. The soundtrack also features Triple J faves – Seth Sentry, MPhazes, The Beautiful Girls, Dardanelles and Goons of Doom along pop-queens Dash and Will, Nick Batterham, Matt Walters and new comers Kiri O’Connor and Liz Cogger.  If you want to listen to the soundtrack – you’ll have to come to the film. As we’re not sure if we’ll be able to release it on CD. It’s screening at The Australian Centre for Moving Image, Fed Square, Melbourne next Tuesday the 27th of April at 7.30pm. You can get tickets here but DO IT NOW. Cos they will sell out. Or you can check out the full song list here. Yet again, Triple J achieves their goal – promoting and exposing young Australian artists.

No matter how old you get your brother’s still an asshole. I’m 26 and I just bit my 21 one yr old, 6 ft, built like a brick shit house brother because he kicked me out of my old art studio (which he’s now taken over – still with all my art stuff in it). All I wanted to fix this pastel galaxy I’ve been experimenting with. I’ve only been gone a year. Turd burger.  Up yours Davo. This means war.

It’s my Bro’s 21st tomorrow night and I’m thinking about a finger wave. No, not what those weird old men do to you in pubs, a proper 1920′s finger wave. The theme is flappers and gangsters (how surprising – seems to be everyone’s fave these days). So I’m thinking a cross between Ange & Drew. But in my research I came upon an old fave. The Great Gatsby. Oh Robert Redford. I wasn’t even alive when you looked this young.
