I feel disabled by a world that looks down upon you. It's a vicious cycle of destructive criticism. In a funny way it's also something I thrive off.
Like I gotta do shit that goes against the norm. Like I gotta defy the impossible. I've always looked toward the hard road with a defeatist attitude (e.g: tradework). But is that the hard road?
See the hard career paths in life to me are the roads I have chosen: The arts.
I have a passion for the performing arts. Acting and Music primarily, but I also have a curiosity for photography and street art.
Last year I sat and achieved a certificate in sport and recreation. I have a natural ability to pass shit, and it's a bad thing because I tend to only just scrape a pass rate. I found the course very boring, it didn't suit ME, it may suit a person who's interests align with the sport and rec. industry however. But this is my point.
As hard as it is to crack the music/acting/artistic industries, I firmly believe it is something I can achieve. I know I have a thirst for it, I can see my own eyes light up when I see opportunities in the industries. I am going to enroll on a course doing music business and management just to better my chances with the crew to make it big, and make the money at the same time.
Yeah. I dunno what else to say haha.

Walk/drive to the studio.
Talk to the boss for a few minutes.
Head into the booth, record a few things, other band-related/business-related stuff.
Go home/work.
Meanfun. Believe me.

Grips
I've come to terms with the fact that I am a difficult person to be around or get along with. And it's for that very reason that I cherish every friendship I have. Regardless of if I see you every day or once a year, you still know who you are. You are my friend no matter how much you change, no matter what paths you take, I will be here for you. This is my weakness..
People tend to take my friendship for granted. They tend to get to know how I operate and then expect the same every time. Being a friend to some people feels like I need to get experienced with marketing myself sometimes. It shouldn't be this way. I feel that a friendship with someone is not something you expect to get something out of, but more something you wish to achieve with that person. It's hard to explain but I hope that made sense.
My views on life are often very, umm, "strict", if you will. I have my own very strong sense of right and wrong, and yes, just like every other human being on this small planet we call home, I make mistakes. Big ones, small ones, down to the merest typing error. But one thing that I do believe makes me stand out from the crowd is I technically have no false bravado or false image about myself. I do not associate wealth to do with clothing, cars, jewellery etc. I tend to associate wealth with a strong sense of family, friends (not in a popularity way if you know what I mean), and happiness. I know whole heartedly that nothing can buy happiness, no matter how many excuses you make, it can only be earnt I guess.
I made a mistake. I do not wish to disclose it. But I do wish for forgiveness. I am sorry.

Full on burger flavour.
Yeah well I ain't been here in a while. So what? Who reads this shit anyways.
I found a new love for Ukulele, it helps me think. It's sooooooo therapeudic. (If thats how you spell it)
Single now. Probably for a long time. Weird. Feels weird. Like 11 months of my life meant nothing. NO. I'm not depressed. Shit. I have a mandarin sitting on my table that I've been meaning to eat for the last two days. Also got a blue vivd which has helped me to litter my walls with interesting signatures, letters, verses, hooks, choruses, Passages, uplifiting and depressing sayings/slogans. The camera sits right where I recorded the last 5-10 vlogs that are NOT funny. The photo camera has seen alot of use however. And has saved me some valuable memories. I start to appreciate time passed when I can sit and reminisce. an empty cup which i half spilled Lemonade on the wireless with =s Luckily didn't fuck the net up. Stacks of CD's, of which most are useless or fucked. Empty bottles of beer on the floor. Heaps of empty Mountain Dew bottles too. Clean clothes (For once).
I love mixing music. The fact that I can take someone elses creation and sort of make it my own inspires me to do... STUFF! :O
Yeah well.......... Bye.

Eahfarkyuuowskeeuzmeeyay?
If theres no better way to start a blog than with anger, hatred, sadness, or intolerance then I will safely say that this world is coming to an end.
Oops:
Is it weird to feel suspect about being in a relationship where your GF txts her ex all the time cause she hates him so much?
Give me an answer.
On a lighter note: End of year tour AB's selection could be very interesting and seems to be very exciting.
My theory on who may get a shot at the shirt, and a rating on their chances (Out of 10):
Kurt Baker (Naki) 6 [Taylor and this dude seem to combine real well. Be mean to see what he can do with the AB's]
Andre Taylor (Naki) 6 [Flair all over]
Jarred Payne (Nthland) 4-5 [Wildcard. Has been of ultimate form lately. Great link with Ranger in ITM Cup]
Robby Fruean (Cantab) 8
Sonny Bill Williams (Cantab) [Well DUH!] 1,000,000 [Put it this way, the selectors will get murdered by greater NZ if they don't. I still believe he's over-hyped and over-rated]
Julian Savea (WGTN) 7 [Young, Strong, near impossible to stop close to the line. Will be disappointed if he doesn't at least be a benchwarmer.]
Yeah well, hit me up with your comments. Who do you think?
Latez.

Loneliness
I been through this in my life plenty. Right through Primary school, Intermediate, Even High School to some extent. But still I'm either paranoid or lonely. Paranoid that people don't actually care what I'm up to, or lonely 'cause it's true.
Well all the people that truly know me and know what I've been through in my short life will put it straight down to Paranoia, BUT in saying that the people who "Truly" know me are the ones who don't invite me along when the group goes places.
Put it this way: I feel that none of my friends would really care if I wasn't here, NOT SAYING IM SUICIDAL AT ALL, but this is how I feel. And this is where another side of my theory comes in. Depression.
Now I dunno what it is, I just can't seem to get motivated at all. Used to LOVE driving and rugby, used to love hanging out, used to find the world a beautiful place, but so much has brought me into what I'd call a state of depression. No shit, I kid you not when I say this weather gets me down. It's either icy cold or raining, it drys out my skin making it sore to move and shit. There's a constant grey shadow over this shitty fucken town, and the people who walk these streets are either hood rats who hate white guys or snooty fagz who raise themselves to a higher level. Let other people put you on a pedestal man, don't show yourself off.
Sick of the beef, sick of racism, sick of oil spills, sick of nuclear arms, sick of war in the middle east, sick of the 2012 prophecy/theory which I believe to be all shit, sick of feeling like I'm still stuck on the same track 24/7, sick of not being motivated enough to make a vid or track, sick of bowing down to authority when it's blatantly unfair and prejudiced, POLICE not allowing you to wait for a ride outside McDonalds at 1AM in the morning and forcing you to walk down a dark fucken street because they dont want us there. What dumb cunts.
Chow. (Or Ci`ao or however it goes. I'll just spell it like it sounds.)

Dear You.
1.) I'm sick of wondering what you're doing.
This is me being honest, not having a go at you.
We don't txt like we used to.
You don't even wanna call me, or want me to call you.
Don't seem to be interested in me coming and staying.
You're making me feel like I'm missing something, or I'm just deliberately missing something subconsciously?
Or am I just being paranoid? LOL
But seriously, I don't know what the fucks up. You say nothings wrong and that it's all the same.
Maybe that's the problem, it's all the same.
2.) Missed my exam today, fucked me off realllllll bad. However, they offered me a re-sit on Friday and I took it.
3.) Got 92% on the family history assignment I had talked about here for a while.
4.) Me and Rycaneus had a mean talk with a local "gig organizer" who gave us some great advice on how to get in the real music business. It was a great insight and I think we may follow through with what he told us to do. Watch this space..
5.) Been an absolute fiend on the 2nd gen. Pokemon games of late. Like Big time. (OMG and just as I wrote Big Time the song started playing on my itunes I have playing in the background as I write this! LOL) I basically clocked the games Gold, Silver, and Crystal in one day with hyperspeed :)
6.) Off to countdown to get a drink now. Mountain Dew is on. Haven't been out all day. I get really in-secure being home alone cause my mind ticks overtime and I begin to get claustrphobic on Earth. and my worst enemy Paranoia begins to visit in a strange way.
More on that later, peace =]

Howwwwwwwwzeeeet?
Yo!
Long time no talk uh?
Yeah well.. I typed up a 3 hour assignment on my family history and I still gotta Powerpoint to do -.-
Anyways, how yous been?
Chur.
I had a few ideas pop in my head over the past few weeks.
Yes they are video ideas and I know my promises are always empty but I been wanting to do this one for some time.
It's to this song by Owl City called Meteor Shower (In vid below).
I want to do a short "cinematic" (I guess) based on the feeling of being alone. It's gonna be a bit out of character for me because I don't normally do serious shit, I'm more the funny guy to everyone so yeah...
Another one is this other idea which i could most likely actually get in touch with the guy about using his song.
While Tubing dubstep the other week I found this guy from Mount Eden DnB and he made a song called Beautiful Lies. It got my mind going about making a vid too:
I kinda created my new YouTube channel as a more "serious" channel, so if it ain't good enough for my standards then I don't put it up. I have made about 3 vids in the last few mades which have only found their way into my recycle bin.
In Other News:
I been following a Graffiti Legend on Twitter for quite some time and have been reading his blog for quite some time also. It's FUCKEN AMAZING. No shit peepz. It would pretty much cater to anybody artistically as well as in general. It's full of Artworks in the street, contemporary on canvas, small video documentaries about the Graffiti and street scenes and other stuff, Revoks own political views, pictures and videos from his travels etc, links to his clothing store and other items of interest, MUCH MUCH MORE. Definitely worth a check out people, and if you don't even click this link: http://revok1.com/ , then damn... You're missing out.
Latez people, I'm owtiez.

Don't drinka and fly!!
An out of it news report on our local paper today: New Zealand Wood Pigeon apparently get drunk as off guava berries and can't fly properly. 25 of these birds have been admitted to what you could call "Bird Rehab" at the local Bird Shelter and 10 so far have died. Least they died having mean fun uh?
Me, Shay and Jordy had mean fun in town on Monday haha! We practically played tag throughout the streets of the CBD. Jordy mysteriously disappeared later on so me and Shay walked home.
Been researching my family history and found out some interesting shit ae. Hate the fact I descended from England, makes me feel so generic..
Ryan's entering a competition with the Good Morning show and I hope he does well.
the dude has alot of talent and can go far so I really do hope he does.
Our game this week is against Moerewa. Name is kinda fear-filled but fuck it. We'll push them over just like we did to Southern last week. Hope me and the boys can pull off another good victory.
I'm officially addicted to Mountain Dew and I'm actually scared haha! Can't wait t see the Naruto-Pain fight when it comes out friday. My new speakers are mean too. I have a bad habit back of tying knots in my hair. Anyone who knows how to stop this contact me on my Facebook or Twitter cause I'm starting to get bald patches XD.
Love you Liddy! XoX =]

My life memories..
Well my life began in Auckland at 7:36 AM in the morning on the 25th of October 1991.
Nothing significant happened in the first years of my life. My family moved to a little town called Kaiwaka when I was around 6 months old. My mother was 18 when she had me.
I began my schooling at Kaiwaka Primary School in 1996. When I entered the school as a 5 year old I was told I was reading and comprehending as well as a 12 year old could. I put this down to learning to read at around four and my great interest in animals and stuff, reading articles about wolves, foxes, eagles, whales etc. My weak point was my mathematical skills.
From Kaiwaka I then moved to Wellsford Primary in either late '97 or early '98. I know that my Aunt Janine was working at that school at the time. I never really made any friends at these schools apart from the ones I met before school. I vaguely remember playing touch/ripper rugby at Kaiwaka domain on Saturdays and stuff. My mother had been dating my now step-father Wayne and they eventually decided to marry, which they did.
In 1999 my mother and step-father decided they would move to Whangarei due to a lack of work for Wayne in the district. We quickly settled in to the house which we are still in today on Fairburn street in Raumanga. I began school again at Morningside Primary. I also began playing for a soccer-team which Wayne began to coach at FC Whangarei. We were 8th Grade Red and the other team was 8th Grade Blue. They were a bunch of cheating bastards, and one of our games went something like 12 minutes overtime so they could beat us. I never really made many friends at Morningside either. I tagged along with a group but never really was acknowledged. I had one good mate though, Cody, though he moved to Oakleigh and started attending Tauraroa Area School in 2001 I think. I left Morningside Primary in 2002.
At the end of the year 2002 I fell out of a tree and broke both my arms (lol). Which menat I had to begin schooling about 2 months into term time in 2003. I began schooling at Tauraroa Area School and loved it at first. After a while though I began to become a target of bullying. In 2004 I was eventually "forced" to leave that school in a way. I then went to Auckland and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle and my cousins for a good month I believe. I returned home in November or December that year.
In 2005 I began Schooling at Whangarei Boys' High School. I met up with a guy I knew from my Morningside days and we became friends. Anthony Raimona was his name. Through him I met Nathan Cutforth, and Dylan Pou who I already knew from Morningside as well. I then tried my hand at rugby and found I had a passion for it.
I still play there to this day. I met a guy who I knew also from Morningside called Alex Gilbert. He was into music production at the time and was making hip-hop tracks which I was interested in trying out. We met a couple of guys who called themselves VanDam and Young Slanteyez who were amateur music producers out near Parua Bay. I then formed a crew called the Outbreak Empire which originally consisted of Me (Kassah), Anthony (SRX), Alex Gilbert, And Slanteyez. We made a few tracks and chopped and changed MC's but we were never really successful. But once again I came to be a target of bullying, mainly exclusion, and left the school in 2007. The bullying had taken its toll on me and I believe it changed me in a way.
In 2007 I began to chase my other passion for acting. I started at People Potential on their Introduction To Performing Arts course. I knew a guy called Stefan who I used to live next-door to. The Course was tutored by a knowledgeable man named William Davis who had extensive experience in the performing arts industry. I learnt alot about myself during this time. I also began to break the cycle of "paranoia" I guess you could call it, as a sort of pro-longed side effect of my years of bullying during school. One day a guy named Te Ao joined my course and I recognized him from hanging with one of my "enemies" at the time, a guy named Jason whos now a good mate of mine. So I told Jase that he was on course and we became good mates. I met some awesome people on the course and sort of found myself almost drifting away from my old friends. Through Jase I met Shay, his nephew, who I now consider as my best mate.
In 2009 I felt I had done all I could do at PP. I left to go onto Foundation Studies at Northtec. On the foundation studies course was a girl called Kelsie who goes out with Stefan. We became mates and had a few piss-ups and stuff with the likes of Jason and a few other people who were on PP etc. During this time we formed another crew and dropped OutBreak Empire and became Darkstylez Productions. Headed by a rapper called A-Tak. I finished the course and went back to PP for the last 6 months of 2009.
In mid 2009 I auditioned for a local feature film called "Still Small Voice". I got a part as a character called "Will" and met heaps of people. Clayton Petera became a good friend of mine and he is a very talented singer who could go far, and I hope he does. In late 2009 I became interested in the Northtec course for Sport and Outdoor Recreation. And 2009 finished as a really good year, probably my best ever.
In 2010 I had a falling out with A-Tak and dropped the rap career all together.
I began my sport and rec. course at Northtec in February and my main focuses in life are my Course, y beautiful girl Liddy, film making, and Rugby. I joined up with an old mate Ryan on the course and we are looking at putting a band together. I believe that all my past experiences have changed me for the better and made me a better person.

Nothing significant happened in the first years of my life. My family moved to a little town called Kaiwaka when I was around 6 months old. My mother was 18 when she had me.
I began my schooling at Kaiwaka Primary School in 1996. When I entered the school as a 5 year old I was told I was reading and comprehending as well as a 12 year old could. I put this down to learning to read at around four and my great interest in animals and stuff, reading articles about wolves, foxes, eagles, whales etc. My weak point was my mathematical skills.
From Kaiwaka I then moved to Wellsford Primary in either late '97 or early '98. I know that my Aunt Janine was working at that school at the time. I never really made any friends at these schools apart from the ones I met before school. I vaguely remember playing touch/ripper rugby at Kaiwaka domain on Saturdays and stuff. My mother had been dating my now step-father Wayne and they eventually decided to marry, which they did.
In 1999 my mother and step-father decided they would move to Whangarei due to a lack of work for Wayne in the district. We quickly settled in to the house which we are still in today on Fairburn street in Raumanga. I began school again at Morningside Primary. I also began playing for a soccer-team which Wayne began to coach at FC Whangarei. We were 8th Grade Red and the other team was 8th Grade Blue. They were a bunch of cheating bastards, and one of our games went something like 12 minutes overtime so they could beat us. I never really made many friends at Morningside either. I tagged along with a group but never really was acknowledged. I had one good mate though, Cody, though he moved to Oakleigh and started attending Tauraroa Area School in 2001 I think.
