Bedside vigil #2 within 2 years…fuck cancer
So a mate of mine Salta is gearing up to skate across the Nullarbor soon, all in the name of depression awareness.
As someone who has been diagnosed with the disease and is making steps towards getting things back on track, I’m behind this cause 100%.
For a lot of people, admitting that you’re not just having a shitty couple of weeks or months, but that you need some real help, can be a bloody hard thing to do. I’m pretty open and up front about the fact that for a long time I was shifting further and further away from the person I used to be. I shut myself off from a hell of a lot of people, hell it almost cost me my relationship. The worst part is that you have to come to the realisation yourself and when you’ve got this grey cloud over your head it can be damn near impossible to come to that realisation.
Help Salta out by reblogging this. It’ll take you 3-5 seconds of your life, but it may help greatly improve someone elses…
Los Angeles, 1.03am…time to go home
A: What is your life ambition?
When I was younger it was to be a rockstar, however it’s looking fairly unrealistic at this point. I would love to be able to open a live music venue in Melbourne, a place where bands are treated properly, friends congregate, and talent is nurtured…similar I guess to what The Arthouse was. I would be very happy if I could give something back to a scene that has done so much for me as a person…and to work for myself on something that I believe in would be a satisfying way to live my life I think. Unfortunately, maintaining a venue in our great city is becoming a much more difficult task…so who knows what could happen.
D: Are you afraid of death?
Yes and no. There are plenty of things I still want to do with my life before my time is up…and also I get bummed out at the thought of my family and friends being upset when I die. However, having witnessed several loved ones pass within the last year or so after battling long illnesses, I definitely wouldn’t want things to drag too long once my quality of life was gone.
H: What’s the most heroic thing you’ve ever done?
There are two things that come to mind. I don’t know how “heroic” they are, but I guess you can decide that for yourself.
1. Spending the night with a friend who was having such a bad time they were suicidal. It was the most scary thing I’ve ever witnessed. I like to think that my presence helped them out in some way. They are still here so I guess something I said helped.
2. Last year I watched my Grandmother take her last breath and pass away after battling Cancer for a number of years. Watching somebody die is horrible, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I had said everything that I wanted to say to her, when she was still lucid, smiling and the person I loved. The only reason I was in the room when she passed was to support my Grandfather, along with the rest of my family. I guess saying that I didn’t want to be there sounds pretty terrible, but I just didn’t want that to be my last memory of her.
Not really heroic, but I think our support and presence was appreciated.

meet Oogy, Oogy was about ten weeks old and weighed 20 pounds he was tied to a stake and used as bait for a Pit Bull. The left side of his face including most of his ear was torn off. He was bitten so hard a piece of his lower jaw was crushed. Afterward, he was thrown into a cage and left to bleed to death.
if you have time to reblog pointless hipster photos, you’ll have time to reblog this, respect for Oogy .
