The photo-a-day experiment!

This morning while I was roaming around flickr.com I noticed a few people have started putting an interesting spin on their photoblogging experience by starting a “photo a day” collection.

“Bonus,” I exclaim as a tiny speck of coffee hits my monitor. Don’t worry, it’s a work computer. “I’ve got a digital camera and two phones, all capable of taking photo thingymabobs, I’m gonna do that!”

So, as of today begins the photo-a-day experiment. 365 photos over 365 days, beginning today. The photo-a-day experiment will be a flickr.com photoset, a tumblr blog and a weekly digest posted to bananas on toast (to save clutter).

There will be photos of me, coffee cups, the occasional small person and some kielbasa sausage. There will be photos of people, places, somethings and nothings. So keep checkin’!

As a Going Away™ present, my good friend look made this painting for me, had it printed and framed. It’s a copy of the original Legends Bar painting, but I don’t know much about the origins of the original apart from the fact it’s pretty famous and I’ve seen it in a lot of Australian Pubs.

The painting Luke made is the most fantastic thing I think I have ever seen and it really got me rather emotional at my fairwell. Thanks a bunch Luke, this will always hang in my home!

My silhouette, walking to work after my lunchbreak, through the carpark. Notice the bulk of my headphones and crumpler bag, I take them both everywhere with me these days. I originally took the photo on my Nokia N70 to send to Claire, but it never got sent.

I haven’t blogged a photo in a while so I thought it was time to do so. This is a shot I took with Claires camera of her when I visited in Sydney. She has amazing blue eyes and I always tell her so, but they looked particularly awesome in this lucky shot I snapped of her a while ago.

So I went a bit nuts over at flickr earlier and uploaded a LOT of photos, including exclusive shots of the 7 six-packs my mother bought me, RAWK! Check them out, post some comments and most of all remember how much I love you all.

I just loved this photo so much that I needed to put it on here. This is Mark, myself and Matt Q hanging out having a beer. These are two of the guys who are going to be sharing a house with me soon enough, so they are practically like brothers to me.

The Houseparty!

So I had the house to myself for just over a week and what better way to finish it off than with a house party? 2 kegs, about 20 people and 3 bottles of tequila proved more than enough to get everyone having a good time. My house ended up trashed, it took around 8 hours to clean and I had to mop the floors about 5 times. All in all it was a blast, but neither the cleaning or the hangovers were worth it.

For the complete flickr photo set, click here.

The top 5 highlights:
1. Rob and I drinking 3 quarters of a bottle of tequila in around 10 minutes
2. Me passing out as a consequence,
3. Beer bong anyone? I out-chugged the entire party, as per usual,
4. Loddy singing like Madonna with my mothers phone headset, and;
5. The boys not leaving my house for almost 48 hours in refusal to return a half-empty keg.

New Haircut, originally uploaded by bananasontoast on flickr.com.

I went to my hair dresser today and did the normal routine. We joked around for a while about how I am always making her open late because I work long hours, we joked about how I was finally sober when she was seeing me and I sat in the chair ready for my usual haircut.

Now, I normally say, “clippers up the side, a bit of length on the top, but not too much so I can spike it a little.”

Today I said, “okay Lisa, give me what you got! My hair is yours, do what you will!”

Now, the look in her eye should have told me to be careful. Or maybe it was the way she used the clippers and scissors. One way or anything, I ended up with possibly the worlds craziest haircut and I honestly love it! She zigged, she zagged and she carved out a masterpiece.

According to Melpo, I am a GQ playa. For those who are lame (like me) and have no idea what this means, check this shit out…

UrbanDictionary.com defins GQ as; “Used to describe a guy who is dressed nicely, very sleek, or very sexy to the ladies. The term comes form the men’s fashion magazine named GQ. Example: Damn nigga, you all GQued up 2nite, huh?”

…that’s right peoples, how fine am I?! TOO FINE! Hahahaha.

Hahaha, Dessy must have joined the flickr team! My friend Dessy loves to say, “hoi”.

“Hoi man, wanna get some dinner?”

“Hoi Ryan, I’m sick of you asking me to burn Dave Chapelle for you!”

“Hoi fuck off, you’ve had yours!”

I finally made a cool flickr badge like all the other flickr geeks! It’s kind of like when people put those lame Oakley stickers on the back of their cars to look cool. Yeah, just like that.

Make Yours and upload it to flickr!!!

Side note: I notice that as soon as I am obnoxious that everyone starts to comment, do I need to start picking on Delta Goodrum for having cancer or maybe flame Michael Jackson to get some if you to comment? ;)

Aprilia Glory

For those who don’t know, after I tell them I own an Aprilia racing bike their response is usually something like, “is that a Suzuki?” For those who do know, they usually drool. I’ve always wanted to get my bike license and have the freedom to just jump on a bike and go riding, but only recently have I ever made it happen. It all started from a conversation with my good mate Rob…

*queue the blurry fade-out and crazy music as we travel back 4 or 5 weeks*

Mitch: Dude, I should totally get my bike license so I can go riding with you.
Rob: So do it!
Mitch: Yeah man, I think I will!
Rob: Dude, it’s your day off today, when will you get another chance to do it?!
Mitch: Yeah, true.
Rob: So…?
Mitch: I dunno…?
Rob: Get out and go get your license. Now!

*queue the blurry fade-in and crazy music as we travel back to present time*

Needless to say that I got my license that afternoon. Within a week and a half I purchased Rob’s old bike off him, since he was thinking of upgrading to a 1000cc bike and was already planning on selling it. So now I own a 2003 Aprilia RS125, Rob owns a 2004 Aprilia RSV 1000 and Dave owns an 2000 Aprlia RSV1000 Mille (picture to come) - some of the sexiest bikes I’ve ever seen.

Well if you monitor my photoblog at flickr at all, you would know that I have already been unfortunate enough to have an accident. I jumped the clutch, panicked, hit the brakes and then hit the deck. The damage to me was the last thing on my mind and was pretty minimal, but my beautiful bike was scarred. I’ve spent the last two weeks fixing my darling and her makeover is complete. My 2003 model bike now has the latest 2005 stickering, along with a lot of ideas from myself, Dave and Rob. Dave, a signwriter by trade, was able to create all the stickering for me and get it all done perfect.

Admire my bike and fear my riding skills!

My Hair Products, originally uploaded by bananasontoast on flickr.com.

There is seriously something wrong with me. Today I got my hair cut and bought around $25 worth of hair products and placed them on the shelf with all my other stuff. Different gels, waxes, clays, mouses and I suddenly realise that if I was someone else I’d probably be questioning my sexuality. I think the scariest part is that they all have different uses, I know when to use what product and I actually keep them in an order I understand. It’s quite scary and definately worth a journal entry.

Note: Be sure to give the picture a click and check it out, I’ve documented all my products.
