Why hello there readers. I've decided to take a new approach to give me more ideas to play with so now I've decided to do a photo journal kind of thing. I post it on deviant art but for the more interesting ones I will post up here. Enjoy

How? by ~TheHungryRock on deviantART
This is a quick snap of the amazing architecture of Melbourne Central Station building. It never ceases to amaze me how they could ever do such a thing. I would continually ask my self in my head rhetorical questions such as "How did they even get up there?", but I would automatically answer my self "Probably a crane or a really tall ladder", so to stop ruining the moment of simple amazement I tilt my head and ignore the voices in my mind and ask "How?".

Make a Change
Gotta make a change,
For once in my life,
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference,
Gonna make it right.
As I turned up the collar on,
My favorite winter coat,
This wind is blowin' my mind,
I see the kids in the street,
With not enough to eat,
Who am I to be blind,Pretending not to see their needs.
A summer's disregard,
A broken bottle top,
And a one man's soul,
They follow each other,
On the wind ya' know,
'Cause they got nowhere to go,
That's why I want you to know.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
I'm asking him to change his ways
,And no message could have been any clearer,
If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make a change.
This is the first 2 verses and chorus of Micheal Jackson's amazing song "Man in the Mirror". If this isn't powerful stuff I really don't know what is. Infact we come to realise even further the allegations were true, that really this man is the "King of Pop". Once again RIP Micheal.
For those who want to have a small experience of this powerful song here is the link to a performance of the song:

Too soon?
If you have noticed anything within the media within the past week, You may have realised that the The king of pop is dead. It's a tragic event that many didn't expect, but with it brings up another issues. Once upon a time Micheal Jackson was a world renowned pop star talented in singing, had extraordinary dancing ability and created music that revolutionised the industry. But within the last few years its fair to say that the "king of pops" reputation has been destroyed by the media. If anyone had done a little research then you'd soon find out that Micheal Jackson wasn't the tyrant that the media had made him. In fact he holds the record for giving donations to charities. But when the death of the King happens all so suddenly the media in effect realises that maybe he wasn't so bad as everyone made him out to be.
The first issue I would like to shed light about is the fact that everyone makes mistakes in this world. Some of them are major which can cause damage to others and some affect no one. It's within human nature to make mistakes which comes packaged with the amazing gift of free will. So naturally we all have to take consequences for our actions. The sad thing is more often than not it doesn't end there. The destructive power of rumor will destroy the person. In fact rumor is so destructive even if a person had done nothing but rumor spread it will still have the same effect. Using the example of MJ we can see what it has done to his career and reputation. Truth be told 90% of what the media has to say is untrue or ridiculously over exaggerated.
Death is a grim thing. During funerals we tend to remember the good and happy moments of ones life. The thing that really annoys me is that it took Micheal's death for everyone to realise how much he has contributed. The media ever so frequently pushing him down and now it seems as though they care about him. It shouldn't take a death of someone to be noticed for the good things they have done or their talent.
Within everyone we have the capability to do amazing things and to achieve success. Whether you define success as making a million dollars, completing an assignment or even just finding that special someone just go with it following your heart, and make sure that you'll be remembered for what good you've done. Worst thing is to go through life and achieve nothing.
RIP Micheal Jackson

Perfection.
Searching for something you want is like trying to draw a perfect circle. You are ever satisfied with the result, only finding more flaws the more we look at our trials. The failure here is to realise that it we dont appreciate the uniqueness of flaws. And until we understand that perfection can never be found.

Hi, goodnight.
It's that time again as the two hours the past midnight fades away, the boy tired from the troubles of his day begins to reminisce the events of the daylight hours.
“Today was good”
Slowly drifting from the wake hours, he holds his heart up high quietly receiving the goodness that the clever mind crafts. Hopes and aspirations sprawl while imagination runs wild, as he pose’s to his heart an inspiration in the uncontrollable events of headspace at night. With his head bowed he converses the articulation of his mind.
“Let me find the joy of being and having with adventure and mystery, to know and be sure of self with purpose, to understand and be reassured of the tasks.”
The boy pauses as the thought of her grows within the forest of complexities of his own understandings. To falter at this point would only break his own heart. Quickly he begins to idealise these thoughts.
“Will the search be over tonight?”
Unsure as the unknown is sought, the boy holds onto the excitement of finally knowing. Comforted by the warmth of climactic thoughts, the eyes fall and the walls of consciousness plunge to the ground.
“Amen”
Sleep well, my friend sleep well.
“Good night” – Consciousness
Peter.

From Heart to Rock.
Awake, it happens again,
The night calling out as the patterns of routine crawl around the empty life.
"Friend where are you?"
He strolls along the same path but finds something new,
An open door.
Interested but hesitant he contemplates.
“The door is open walk go” the heart yells,
Yet the mind whispers “you’re already disappointed, don’t”.
With the glimpse of hope on the line he looks straight into the heart and reads,
"Acceptance is a risk, yet without risk you will find nothing"
Quickly he calculates and finds failure to be presumed,
The heart bellows "trust me".
So he walks through expecting nothing but disappointment.
He looks through with his tired eyes,
And finds something special, invigorating and amazing,
A smile.
The smallest ounce of happiness dripped into the heart,
The seed of friendship sprouted.
Unspoken joy arises from within,
And all he has to say is “thank you heart.”
To end it there would be abrupt,
But to see the implication would be unattainable.
Few would assume it was “The one”,
Others will not find meaning.
To understand, would simply be “to be”,
Only you know who you are.
“Happy Birthday” – Heart

English SAC: Oral Presentation "Arson or Murder?"
This is my script for my oral presentation, sorry if there is minor grammar mistakes, wrote it at 130 am. Enough said time for bed. Enjoy
--
Over the last few months rural Victoria have experienced the worst bushfires ever. More commonly known as “Black Saturday” this natural disaster has brought about many controversies and issues. One of which is the topic of whether arsonist are murderers.
The definition of arson is “the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property”. Common logic would question, who on earth would do that for any good reason? Because clearly there isn’t. It is simply evil costly and causes no one any good ever. Now we when look at this in retrospect these arsonists are the cause of the loss of communities and homes, laying nothing but destruction.
Yes this is arson, but the fact is this foolish act has caused the death of peoples lives; over 200 people in fact along with hundreds of others injured physically and scarred psychologically all because of the heartless acts of arson. The moment that father died what was considered arson has just become the criminal act of murder.
The definition of murder is the “unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another”. As I’ve said in the definition of murder it is “premeditated”, and sure the arsonist may have never intended the death of so many people. But saying that “oh I didn’t know this wasn’t going to happen” is clearly not a good enough reason to justify these actions. If these ignorant human beings are going to argue that you didn’t intend that for people to die, then go tell that to those who have lost their families in these devastating blaze.
These criminals should be dealt with even harsher than they would in a murder case, considering the damaged caused to the community, properties, peoples psychological wellbeing and ultimately the death of Australians.
Sure they can argue that it was going to happen whether they lit that fire or not. And yes this may very well be true, but like any organised crime it’s not just the Mastermind that gets caught but everyone who contributed in some way. In the same way their actions may not have been substantial to the cause of the horrifying blaze, but in the end people are dead, and they have that on them for the rest of their lives with no one to blame but themselves
I believe that the Australian people have a right to know who these arsonists are. The identities of these people have been hidden to protect them from any harm. This idea has its merits, but considering the destruction they have caused, the word “rights” has been destroyed. They pretty much drew their own targets on their backs the moment that fire was lit. Some would argue that they are human beings, true but consider this no rational human being would ever do this and no one is so ignorant to not see the before and after of their actions.
After factoring in all these evil doings, it is clear to say that arsonist’s are murders the moment a person dies in those blazes. And if not a person they have killed the communities because of their actions. Considering things further we can conclude that in fact arson is worse than murder. Now lets all go home to our families, oh wait some don’t have that pleasure anymore, why? Because of those malignant arsonist.
