GHOST-CODING



After years of geo-coding a person can develop a map induced psychosis called mapamatosis…. Mapamatosis is a mentally debilitating condition where one patient could map so much that they resort to mapping invisible landmarks and non-existent sites, this physical display of the condition is commonly known as ‘Ghost-Coding’……………..

bored again....


I put my money on the floor, then you pick it up and slap me with it….



I Arrived at the Beenleigh locomotive stop this morning in my usual fashion; late, trying to juggle coins for the self service ticket machine whilst sucking the butt out of my cigarette for that last little hit before embarking on the 45 minute expresso journey into the dirty dirty Fortitude Valley.
As I ascended to the top of the ramp I realised that my usual friendly machine was out of service, checked the line at the ticket office which looked like the banks of the Amazon, and decided to apply my normal method of the ticketless train-ride followed by the flash of a receipt or the like, at the more than usually busy ticket-faggets at the other end of my voyage….
Today the law outsmarted me.
I was already in an excellent mood due to the new Fortitude Valley Station (formerly known as Brunswick St (You can change the name of the station but everybody knows the valley is still a place for the homeless prostitutes and heroin dealing beings of Brisbane city)) being recently opened. If you haven’t seen the new station you should totally get down there its awesome….not… It looks like what I imagine the inside of the beat nightclub to look like…..fucking shiny & fruity….
Upon pulling into the station I hit the legs and stumble up the brand-new escalators… BANG, 6 or 7 Transit pigs staring down the barrel of the less than impressive group of people spilling out onto the mezzanine level of the refurbished station, somehow I knew that the receipt trick wasn’t going to work this time round.
I’m sick of this story so the rest is as the title states.
$150 fine vs my normal $5.20 fare. Let’s see if I can catch the train for 28 days to put that $150 back in my pocket; or I could just get destructive but we’ll leave that up to me……
you cunts…..

Mandiis occupation....



As im crouching down, focused on what im doing, I hold the base of the instrument I am all too familiar with.
As I take a deep breath, the fumes of the paint fill my nostrils n makes me feel a little light headed.
Up down up down n side to side. Always the same.
The sound of truths takes me 10000 miles from reality.
I close my eyes n the wall is gone. I am taken to where I wish I was.
I am now sitting on the beach with my boi sipping on margaritas.
Suddenly I am brought back to reality by the squeal of a pig.
I look behind me and pat is standing there.
A hideious expresion on his face...
he is here for one thing...
To annoy the shit out of me..
The life of a painter truely sucks..............

Exerpt fro NWAnews.com...

For a growing number of avid cyclists, the fixie is in.
“Fixies” are fixed-gear bicycles. One gear. No freewheel to allow coasting. You pedal, the bike moves. You stop, it stops. Some don’t even have brakes.
While such a machine might seem to have limited appeal, the popularity of fixed-gear bikes has expanded beyond the bigcity messenger subculture that spawned them somewhere during the past decade.
Although many bikes can be easily converted to a fixed-gear for about $ 100, sales of new ones are among the fastest-growing segments of the industry.
Jon Swanson of Specialized, a Northern California-based company that released a halfdozen styles of fixed-gear bikes this year, says sales of such bikes have tripled the past few years. “They’re going through the roof,” Swanson says.
Why ? Stephanie Gonzales of Fresno, Calif., who rides a fixie, points to simplicity.
“It’s more of an intuitive style of riding,” says Gonzales, 24, who’s been riding with a fixed gear for only a few weeks but loves it. “There’s more of a connection to your bike and to the ground. I like that aspect of it.” The hipness of urban bike messengers, who deliver packages and letters in big cities, is another lure. For them, a fixedgear bike is a necessity, because they often have their hands full and stopping can be accomplished with only the legs (if they’re strong enough ).
Thomas Hinkle, a historian for the Bicycle Museum of America in Ohio, believes the popularity of spinning classes has fueled the trend. Those machines also require constant pedaling.
But there’s also something about a fixed-gear bike that’s ultimately traditional.
“Maybe it’s going back to our roots, before you got into all the new technology stuff we have today,” Hinkle says.
Or as Gonzales puts it, “When you’re a kid, most kid bikes, most tricycles and things like that, are fixed. It’s how you start out really.” Ben Kloos, a mechanic at Trisport in Fresno, has commuted primarily on one of two fixed-gear bikes the past two years.
“The bicycle in general is the most efficient form of transportation,” he says. “If you can get that package in the least number of parts, it’s conceptually something that’s intriguing to me.” There are other advantages. Because they have fewer parts, fixies weigh a few pounds less and require little maintenance. They’re durable. Less of the energy riders put into pedaling goes anywhere but to the rear wheel.
Jeff Macdonald, the operations manager of Shuttlebugz pedicab service of Fresno, has ridden a fixed-gear bike since April and says they’re easier to ride into a headwind.
“The sheer momentum forces you to continue pedaling,” he says. “When you ride through a light turning yellow, the getup-and-go on a fixed-gear bike is something else.” Jordan Webster of Steven’s Bike Shop in Clovis, Calif., says the bikes are quieter, too: “You don’t have all the pulley noise. The chain’s tight, so it’s not banging around.” Because they cannot coast on a fixed-gear bike, racers like them for training purposes. “You’re actually using leg muscles to slow yourself down, pick yourself up, and there are no breaks in between,” Webster, 25, says. “You don’t have weird hiccups in your pedal stroke. It’s constantly moving in a fluid motion.” Fixed-gear bikes also are cheaper. No bike on Specialized’s new line costs more than $ 1, 000. A similar grade of road bike could easily cost more than $ 5, 000. Converting a bike into a fixie is even less expensive. Gonzales, who rehabilitates old bikes with her husband, Jason, says it cost about $ 10 for them to give hers a fixed gear. Conversions typically cost more than that, between $ 100 and $ 200. Webster built the fixed-gear bike he uses to commute daily for about $ 150. “You don’t want a bike that’s going to get stolen,” he says. “You don’t want a bike that’s expensive.” He and his friends even joke about leaving their fixies unlocked in front of a liquor store. “We always hope someone jumps on it to steal it, because the first corner they come up to coast, they’re going to be launched off the bike,” he says.
NOT FOR NEWBIES Which means there are some things to consider before you go out and make or buy yourself a fixie. It usually takes more than a few miles before your legs understand what your brain is telling it: no coasting. Turns are tricky, because the pedals have to be positioned just so. Specialized’s Swanson says, “Everyone when they’re learning, they fall over at least once.” Webster says novices should avoid a fixie. “You need to be on your game the whole time you’re riding,” he says. “If a car pulls in front of you, you can’t just brake and coast. You have to keep pedaling when you’re moving. It makes those situations a little scarier.” There are other drawbacks. Kloos says speed bumps, railroad tracks, potholes and curbs are obstacles that pose different challenges when you’re not on a regular bike.
“You know how it is when you ride over something bumpy, you lift your butt off the saddle,” he says. “You can’t do that.” Macdonald of Shuttlebugz points out that you can’t stop at a traffic signal and backspin to reposition the pedals for a quick start. Many fixie riders instead come to a stop while still balanced on the pedals, which is called a track stand. Talented tricksters can stay that way for minutes, much like skilled unicyclists. Some can even ride backward.
But few people, if any, take fixed-gear bikes on rides of 25 miles or more. Kloos says hills pose tough pedaling situations for riders, both going up and down.
“Your legs would be flailing going down a hill,” he says. “That’s not to say that you couldn’t do it. I’m probably just not the man to do it.” Few people, too, ride a fixedgear without hand brakes. Stopping using only your legs is fine most of the time, but traffic provides too many surprises for most people to go without at least one brake in case of an emergency.

Fuck me!! Home Doctors!!!



So anyway, I dont get sick that much. And if i do end up bed ridden, I'm rarely in a state where I would have to drag my coughing ass to go see a doctor, well thats what I thought untill I found out that !! THERE IS A CALL OUT DOCTOR SERVICE !! Thats right you probably already knew that but fuck you its new to me so let me be excited for a bit. I think I actually pissed myself a little bit (maybe I should call a doctor that will come to my house to determine whether I pissed myself due to a weak bladder or pure excitement)... Just so we dont get our wires crossed, dont you be tripping thinking that I have fallen for using my free home doctor service just yet. My girlfriend is horrid at the moment bouting with a vommiting bug (washes hands), as it is after hours she picks up the phone. long & behold about 30 minutes after a quick call a lovely little asian lady appears at the front door wielding a stethoscope and a notepad. she proceeded to do all those normal doctorly things, pumped my girl with a shot to stop the spewing and she was gone again like it never happened..... maybe im ignorant to the public service, maybe im dumb, maybe im just from beenleigh and we arent privy to the luxury of home doctors but next time im feeling Ill on a tuesday night im gona pick up the phone and call someone who cares.....


p.s. my girlfriend just informed me that she has called out her doctor 8 times in the past 2 years... fucking lazy gold coast yuppies and their mobile care givers!!!
