I have moved to another blog.. which allows me to customise it completely and have more control on how it runs. But I will keep I Cannot Smell.. just incase you want to read a poem or post I previously have written. I just won’t be posting on here anymore.. but leave a comment if you wish as I will still read them 
So update your bookmarks.. and change them to http://grant.kicks-ass.net
Have fun, thank you & take care.. see you on the new blog all!
What a eventful week the world had.. the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.. however in the amidst of all this.. on the same day, there were rumors that Jeff Goldblum died.. and I was more concerned about that then the other two passings I mentioned.. weird.
Anyway, I have been looking at DSLR cameras and after reading numerous reviews on different cameras at my price range.. it’s a toss up between a Cannon 500D and Pentax K7.. I’m leaning towards the Cannon 500D though.. mainly just able to use like the lens with other Cannon cameras in the future. Kinda excited but indecisive.. this will be my first big purchase in the Photography world, yikes.
Okay.. they’re scientists who are breeding cows that burp less..WTF!
I understand that it’s to do with reducing emissions and the global warming and so on. But really? If i ever became a scientist.. I would imagine like most scientists would, I would have big, grand ideas.. cure a disease, create a hovercar, a new space suit, able to bring animals back from extinction or just an mega weapon of destruction… but not cows that burp less. I even I wander how it even started.. I’m pretty sure they didn’t go.. ‘Eureka! That’s it! We’re going breed cows that burp less’. I’m guessing they’re partially using some of Canadian government’s money (since they’re doing this in Canada) for funding the research. Ha ha, trying to imagine how they would pitch it to the board or whomever they get the money from at the start.. ‘Umm.. we would to see if we can.. breed cows that burp less.’ The board members looking at each other awkwardly, lol. But I guess, at least they are some of the few people trying to change & save the world in their lil’ way.
Take care and have fun all.
You know, I am kinda disappointed that there’s not a big following of EBM, Industrial, Aggrotech, Terror EBM, Dark Electro, Harsh EBM, Darkwave etc.. in Australia. I don’t know why? we seem to embrace the other electronic music genres plus we have a big following of all sort of Metal and Punk music fans in this country. Hell, I only been introduced to it only just over the last 6 months only because from a friend in Sweden.. I was skeptical at first.. thinking it was some weird European music.. but I feel in love with it after hearing ‘Parasitic’ by Psyclon Nine.
Or maybe you want.. something a bit less harsh & violent? I would recommend Unter Null’s alternative project.. Stray. The link provided will take you to her MySpace page. Which has several of her great songs for you to listen to. And.. the songs are just simply… beautiful!
When someone even decides to go and have a listen to a couple songs.. they will go and have a look at what the fans are like.. errr.. and they will find that the culture that lies predominately attracted to the music & they will find it’s mostly the Goth fraternity that listens to the music mostly. I wouldn’t say I am Goth, just someone who has some minor Goth tendencies, lol. Don’t let the culture be a deterrent.. it’s all about the music! If your into any electronic form of music.. go check some of the incredible artists out there producing this incredible, amazing music. I recommend going to Last.fm, which is one of the best places to hear some examples of EBM and so on.
Oh… and I hope one day in the future.. EBM & Industrial will become big & successful in this country… as we already have some home grown & internationally recognised EBM & Industrial artists.. like Empty, Noir du’Soleil, The Crystalline Effect, Angelspit, Angel Theory, Intrasonic (download their free EP off their site!) and plus there are lots of more that I cannot name at the moment, lol.
Just please go, check out the music and explore the bands out there.
Have fun and take care all.
P.S. Nearly forgot.. I updated my 
ortfolio the other day and uploaded my ‘Macabre Collection’ that I have mentioned a few times on here. So check them out.. be greatly appreciated if you let me know what you think.
Revolution: a sudden, complete or marked change in something.
I have decided to go and revolutionise myself… not a total wipe out of myself, just the things that I wanted to change in myself. You know.. like bad habits I have developed over the years, some personality traits like being less tense in some situations, dwell on stuff from the past, over analysing everything and the one I’m not to fond of the most.. always able to see the negative in things more clearly than the good. But also want to eat healthy (my current diet is a shocker, lol) and become a bit more fit.. which has benefits in many areas of life (wink, wink). Learn new things and skills.. by eating healthy it would improve my cooking as I go along.. which is what I’m looking forward to. And the trip that I’m in the early stages of planning as mentioned in previous posts is also part of this revolution. I’m doing this also.. by being more active.. I will spend less time on the computer and that’s a good thing, lol.
Today was the first day of this revolution. First I did some crunches and some jogging.. followed by playing with the dog. Then later on, I meditated.. which I haven’t done in a long time… but I really loved it, I stopped when I moved back to the NT.. dunno why though, hmmm. And..I ate some apples today, my first fruit for ages, lol. I’ll keep you posted how I’m doing every now & then… not all the time.. don’t want to turn this into some type diet diary blog.. bleugh!
Oooh, I also put up two new poems up, check them out on The Not-so-good Poems page.
Have fun and take care all.
Have you ever had a person or maybe a few people that you have met during your life, that now & then play in the back of your mind… that you regret of not saying something or you simply want to know.. where are they? what are they doing? are they okay? I have some.
I had a dream last night, it involved with someone whom I haven’t spoken to for a long time. So I messaged them today, just if see they all right and how they are. And got a reply.. they are engaged and gonna get married soon. My first reaction was.. disappointment, I’ll say… because there was a period when I was confused how I felt for them while being friends.. but quickly after that had a feeling of relief.. they were alright, happy and nothing terrible has happened to them. Then there was.. sadness, the most overwhelming of them all… sad for the fact that I miss our conversations, bantering, sharing all sort of ideas, being silly and.. talking football, lol. I just simply miss the friendship.
But you know what? I’m so glad they are truly happy, content and hope they continue to be happy for eternity… they truly deserve to be happy.
As for me.. people as life does.. move on. Plus.. planning to go overseas soon, lol.
Take care and have fun all.
P.S. I’ll posting some new poems and will update my photo portfolio in the next following days.
I got my passport application form today… I want to go overseas, dunno where exactly.. most likely Europe.. possibly the America/Canada since I have a few friends there. And take a good camera and take shots anything & everything.
I’ve always wanted to go on a big adventure, it may help me.. umm.. grow up in a sense and discover myself in a way never thought imaginable. But I want the most out of it, is to come out of my shell and gain a plenty full of confidence in myself.
As more I think as I’m writing this, the more I become convinced this is a good idea.. personally and spiritually.. not so much for the hip pocket though.. cost a lot of money but I have some saved up, lol. However, I was planning to go and study next year.. which was the money I have saved up was originally for. So it’s life experience versus practical experience.
But I can argue..since I want to study is Photography, I would be gaining experience and learning it while travelling.. plus could always get help from the government, grants and all that stuff.. if I want to study afterwards.
Hmmm.. I should be looking for a new SLR camera by the way I’m talking, lol.
Oh and put a new poem up, which is kinda sad/angry type. So check it out and hope it evokes something in you.
Take care and have fun all.
I’m at the point in my life where I’m ready to move on from my existing, somewhat really dull and boring existence that I call my life. I believe my first step in order to make the change would be to leave utter remoteness that I am situated in and move to somewhere that has at least a McDonalds and don’t have to order simple luxuries via internet. Hopefully, they’re will be at least some people whom are like minded to make friends and socialise with.. especially in the nerdy and also creative people. I got to admit, I have been talking about this matter of subject for a very long time with some of those that know me pretty well. I kinda want to leave pretty soon, but I can be a pretty indecisive person when it comes to making a relativity a big decision, however when I make it, I stick to it 100%, lol. My conundrum is… What am I going to do? Travel overseas… but I don’t really want to go on my own (never travelled overseas before) or should I move outta town and reinvent myself to a degree or should I say find ‘myself’ and become a man of the world. I don’t have much of any qualifications on paper or life experiences, so finding a job especially in this job market right now can be difficult (you know, because of the whole finance recession we’re having).
However, there is light.. I am.. or was planning to go to do a Photography course that would start next year, I was thinking of maybe going to Brisbane or even maybe back to Perth to do it. ..(currently thinking at the moment)… Hmm, maybe now is good to go overseas.. go for a couple months til end of the year or so.. hmm, an interesting thought… however doubtful of any conceivable fruition will come out of it, lol. But if anyone wants to try to convince me or even wants to go overseas with me, let me know!
Note: Crap, that overseas idea is now firmly stuck in my head now, going to be thinking & pondering about it for a very long time now , lol.
I should mention ‘WoW’ has sucked up a lot of my time although not bad as before but still.. a lot of time. When I could been used in more productive ways.. I got admit being slack on my writing, photography & of course, the blog. However, I’m going to make a conscious effort to not get so sucked in by the void of that is known as ‘WoW’ and fulfil my creative urges. Should mention, I posted a new poem… it’s my first foray into the ‘dark & possibly creepy’ side of poetry. Let me know what you think
What else… personal life isn’t so great.. work, meh.. being single, meh.. living location, meh. And that’s all for now, folks.
Take care and have fun all.
It’s a long weekend here in my part of Oz and mostly being kept quiet.. reading and watching movies among some creativity indulgences that I satisfied.
I was one of the few people in the western world who hasn’t seen Twilight, til this weekend. Okay for start, I work with huge Twilight fan and constantly hear how she loves the books, the film and Edward… and I should mention she is a mother of three in her late twenties. Anyway, so I watched it… the film was okay, nothing special. However, I was so captivated by Kristen Stewart (the actress who played Bella in the film)… I think I may have developed a celebrity crush on her, I’ve never really had one before til now. It’s a quite odd behaviour… I don’t know her at all nor know what she is like in her everyday life.. for I know she could have a serious hygiene problem.. or a gets off on abusing everyone.. I don’t know, that’s my point. But she is what I call the pinnacle of the looks in my ideal girl. And my mind just assumes she is just funny, witty, kind and just simply cool. I’m curious why does the mind do this… make us.. want or get us attracted to things in life what are almost unachievable to get or have? Maybe a form of.. escapism.. even hope or possibly a form of motivation? Hmmm…
Oh and speaking of Twilight, months ago I brought a book at a airport where I was waiting for couple hours which was written by the same author of the Twilight series called The Host. But it’s only now that I have started to read it… it’s been a while since I’ve read a novel of some sort… I more like reading factual books or books that are broken up into bits.. not continuous theme to them.. like Philosophy books, Poetry books.. or even magazines. So far the book has kept me interested although I’m not that far in.. only like 100 pages in.
I also have dedicated this weekend to some serious gaming especially to Fallout 3 on the 360. I love it although it’s so hard not being evil in it, lol. Also I love VATS in the game… especially when you shoot at the head and it comes off clean, got to love video game violence don’t ya? lol.
And should mention, the blog has just surpassed it’s 1000th unfortunate visitor.. Woot! Although kinda wish that carried onto my twitter, lol. Although it’s good for the blog, it gives the blog a form of daily updates for it.
Take care and have fun all.
P.S. For those who haven’t read my poems lately, there’s another funny, slightly gross one plus this one doesn’t contain poo in it this time.
Howdy all,
I’ve just added two new poems to the Not-so-good Poems, even another attempt at another funny one.. it has an surprise ending, lol. Let me know what you think of them. Errr… what else, ooh.. updated the 
ortfolio with one or two photos.
I have been.. somewhat not myself lately I dunno why? Maybe it’s just some chemical imbalance that’s going on in my mind or just feeling more bored than usual.. meh. Although lately.. I have been having the urge to write, nothing particular.. I just want to write something, anything. I always want to write a book of some sort and I have attempted to write something. I just don’t have the stamina nor the focus to keep it on.. track, I guess and not go everywhere… I’m indecisive. And I tend think of an Idea, which maybe good for a chapter but not a whole book. I’m pretty sure everyone at sometime has a thought of writing a book, however this was what separates us from the writers and authors. Maybe I’ll write an ‘Evil Ideas and Plans’ book.
And Aussie Television stations… seriously, if you’re going to show Infomercials.. at least show different ones instead of the same old, boring ones.. Victoria’s Secret, Proactive, the AbKing Pro and that damn Vacuum one. Variety! TV Channels!.. seen it once, don’t need to see it everyday, it just makes the customer more detested at it. Geez, Channels! … Sorry, that damn AbKing Pro ad is on TV at the moment.
Take care and fun all.
Have you ever had a dream that was so surreal but yet, plausible and felt so real?.. (warning: a nerdy reference ahead).. it was kinda like being in ‘The Matrix’ or.. could it be spooky premonition of my future?.
I had this dream the other night which was so weird, just the whole context and the subject matter of it. The dream was me in my late twenties or early thirties in Venezuela, speaking between Spanish and English, owning & running a cacao tree farm far from any modern day civilisation. I wore consistently a straw battered hat, a dirty white singlet, jeans and a pair of dirty brown boots. I did have a beautiful, Latin wife whom I loved very much in the dream (wink, wink, lol). But what I mainly did in the dream was managing, working on the farm with some labourers and having fun with the locals and of course.. my wife (in the dream, not married in this existence of what we call ‘real life’, lol).
I have been thinking.. hmm, maybe analysing about this dream for a day or so… and what I liked most about the dream was the lifestyle.. the simplicity, minimal amount of stress and the minimalistic amount of materialism it portrayed.. just only had objects/things I need to improve on the the basic things in life… but also some small amount of stuff just for enjoyment of them. In short, the simple life.
First, it strucks me odd though.. why Venezuela? I never really had interest in the country or South America, although one of my favourite movies ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’, where before Ernesto "Che" Guevara became famous as for being one of the world’s best known revolutionaries. He went on a road trip with his mate around Latin South America on a motorcycle. Still doesn’t explain why Venezuela though, lol.
Second, cacao trees? Where did I even get that in my head in the first place? Anyway, it’s the tree that grows (and it does grow in Venezuela among other places, I don’t know here i got that info from either, lol).. it grows the cocoa bean which you need in order to make chocolate.
Third, why so remote and different from anything I have experienced especially the culture. I don’t really have an answer for that except maybe I really want a big change in my life.
So for the conclusion, I don’t know what it meant or it even meant anything but the conclusion is… I really liked the dream and you never know what’s going to happen in life.. so watch this space in 10 years or so in time and see if I become a Cacao tree farmer in Venezuela, lol.
Howdy all, I'm Grant and this is my blog.
