Reboot

Had to download this shitty iphone app cos blogger is on gmail and so is my work email so I can't have the email I use for this and work one running at the same time. The gay selfie of me is meant to be up here but it's down at the bottom. That's me about an hour or two ago.

Don't know how many times I've tried to reboot this, but here goes.

YO!

Tumblr sucks and I wanna have a bit more freedom when posting, including bitching heaps, more photos in one post, what I'm reading, music, etc. (Please bear with me while I figure out the best way to get images on here.)

So what's up?
I'm Pete Street. I'm 23. Aries (satanic ram).

If ANYONE happens to be reading this and doesn't actually know me that well, this is what's up.

I started an apprenticeship in graphic pre press at the start of this year, so basically I work at a newspaper designing ads and laying out pages to go to print.
It's cool. It's not what I want to do forever, but it's a sweet job, everyone is nice, I can listen to music and
eat junk food at my desk and I get a day off every week (plus the weekend).

Almost two years post-liver transplant. I can’t drink. I don’t like to party and go out to clubs.

I’m sure I’ll tell y’all more in the future.

What now?

I’m currently reading The Tao of Wu by The RZA of Wu-Tang Clan.
I know what you’re already thinking, but it seems to be okay for everyone to go out and get a Wu-Tang honeycomb mash-up tattoo without a second thought, so I figure I’m allowed to read this book.

A while back I bought The Wu-Tang Manual, the first book RZA wrote about them. It was pretty cool, explained a lot of the meaning and philosophy behind their music, a little bio on each member and some explanations of their lyrics.

I was watching Repo Men a when it first came out, it’s like a futuristic organ transplant kinda deal (which is fitting) with Jude Law and Forrest Whittaker. Jude Law has to go to this dude’s house and repossess and organ, and it turns out to be RZA, obviously playing another character, but he was super cool. He was this musician/producer guy who was doing cocaine (I assume) but he was so chilled out and seemed like the coolest motherfucker of all time. I dunno, it was really intriguing.

While reading The Wu-Tang Manual, I always thought the religious side of it was cool. I’m not really that religious, but I mean shit like the bible, whether you believe it’s true or not, is a fucking cool story. So when I got The Tao of Wu, I was super excited cos he just focuses on himself, his beliefs, how he got to where he is, the history of the clan and of course, the death of Ol’ Dirty Bastard. He doesn’t go on about it for ages, but I dunno, the last time he saw ODB was kind of heavy, you gotta read it.

So, I’m hoping I finish that today. I’ve been waiting on Corey Taylor’s book to come in the mail (singer of Slipknot) and I dunno if it’s been lost or something, but yeah that’ll be next.

And apart from that I’ve been drawing, hanging with Benny at the tattoo shop, watching Top Shot, making new friends and always seeing the old ones.

This is just the shitty intro post, hopefully it’ll get better.
I just ate a king-size Butterfinger at my desk, so things are pretty good right now.

Soiya.
