THINK POSITIVE

I found this, it's has inspired me to think positive.

Around 1990, when Jim Carrey was a struggling young Canadian comic trying to make his way in Los Angeles, he drove his old Toyota up to Mulholland Drive. While sitting there looking at the city below & dreaming of his future, he wrote himself a check for $10 million, dated it Thanksgiving 1995, added the notation “for acting services rendered”, & carried it in his wallet from that day forth. The rest, as they say, is history. Carrye’s optimism & tenacity eventually paid off, & by 1995, after the huge box office success of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask & Dumb & Dumber, his asking price had risen to $20 million per picture. When Carrey’s father died in 1994, he placed the $10 million check into his father’s coffin as a tribute to the man who had both started & nurtured his dreams of being a star.

THINK POSITIVE.

Lostprophets

Just watched the music video for the new(ish) Lostprophets single "It's Not the End of the World But I Can See it from Here" and it's good. Better than anything they've made before. I can't wait until their new album.

the lead singer, Ian Watkins, has got to have the sexiest hair ever. I have this poster of him, and god his hair is sexy. And his welsh accent isn't that bad either =D

I think it's time for a Lostprophets picspam.

now tell me he doesn't have sexy hair.

Decoration Inspiration

Going though all my old Polyvore sets and I found some Interior Decoration ones.

What do you think? I prefer bedrooms to anything. I like to make the rooms to have lots of interesting things to look at. For example. Check out Mikas' "room" in the We Are Golden music video.

Creative Space - Urban Homes of Artists and Innovators

I found this book at Dymocks.
It's called Creative Space - Urban Homes of Artists and Innovators by Francesca Gavin and it's amazing.
It's inspired me even more. I want to gut my room and start from scratch =D but instead (because I don't have enough money or space to live) I'm going to wait until my little sisters room is gutted and then decorate her room. I'm excited. I've already started thinking about it, and collecting ideas.

Movies To See in Twenty10

Daybreakers - As much as I currently depise Vampire movies (thanks alot TWILIGHT) I really want to see this one.



Legion - Instead of Vampires I love Angels. and Paul Bettany =) Can't wait for this movie.


another movie I can't wait to see is Priest (okay fine, so it's a Vampire movie) It stars Paul Bettany as The Priest, and KARL URBAN as Black Hat. No trailers yet, but I read in an interview with Karl Urban that he gets to wear Vampire teeth, and there may be some Karl Urban nudity. *squee*

obviously I want to see Alice In Wonderland, Clash of the Titans and Prince Of Persia, and I'm sure there will be lots of other movies to watch in Twenty10.

Christmas Loot

The loot. Staedtler Pens, in lots of pretty colours (from mum) Coraline on Blu-ray (from mum) a super awesome Batman tee (from my Secret Santa.... who ended up being my sister Alex) Little batman figure (also from Alex) a Death (family guy) figure from Kaitlin and Absolut Vodka Rock Edition (from me =D) not shown is the box of yummies (because there isn't any left) and Razorblade Necklace from Alex.... because it's worth it's own photo.

It was good Christmas. Now I can't wait to start the new year (and new decade) I think it maybe time to recreate myself =D

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
And don't get to drunk on New Years Eve =P
Love you all.
