self service by carey ciuro
Woolworths no longer allow you to exchange items if you change your mind or make a mistake which is ridiculous so this is a reminder that it's okay to commit theft from Woolworths.

Because I had forgotten the reason you don't wear shorts on a motorbike, and because I have recently sold my car, I burnt my ankle this afternoon on my motorcycles exhaust. I was on my way to the sauna, a perfect example of how accustomed to motorbiking I have become.
When the first layer of burnt skin peels, its kinda like when you roll glue together and it rolls into a little ball.
It wasn't bad, but enough to head straight to the chemist. Embarrassed as I entered, I asked the young man stacking shelves 'Could I talk to someone about to do for burns?'. When he turned to face me, I was confronted by a man quite clearly a burn victim. He wasn't horrifying, at all, but the horror my misstep almost struck me down on the spot.
I tried, clumsily to explain, 'this is why you don't wear shorts on a motorcycle' but I couldn't tell if he smiled or was consumed by his own dread. I hope he wasn't as mortified as me.
I really need a car.
An update (2022)
Hey guys,
How we doing? I hope we're all fine. I am. Thankfully. Somehow. Miraculously really. If you aren't doing fine then I hope 2023 brings you many joyful moments of solitude and peace.
If you're wondering what I've been up too. Here's the cliff notes:
I'm studying my Masters in International Relations at The University of Melbourne. I'm entering my final year next year and I can't believe it... I'm getting Honours. Also miraculous.
I work a boring IT job at the moment but I get paid pretty well. I quit Aesop after it drove me off a cliff and I had a panic attack. My first ever. I'm good at my job. I manage a small team. Not miraculous for them cause I'm kinda winging it but doing pretty well.
I live in Melbourne and I can't stand it. My family is here and for that I am grateful but this city breathes poison. Something about it is disfigured and I haven't quite been ever able to explain why. Here's the extremely brief answer: It's too busy.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is because next year I am going to post more photographs. I utterly and completely miss shooting. It's a part of me that has been behind a curtain for the last five years but I'm ready to show it off again. I'm ready to show off what I've learnt and what I've forgotten in the last five years.
I'll do more talking too.
Trust. - C

Lately I've been thinking about my kids. It's probably just hanging around with kids so much, but whenever I see them clumsily running with legs so small they look abnormal or grinning so wide they can't form sentence I can't help but get clucky.
The pure innocence is pure beauty.
I wonder what my kids will be like.
There's only one person I can see myself having children with. If things don't work out with Yoshimi I don't think I'll ever recover. Growing old with her doesn't seem like a chore. Something I'd like to do.
Then again it's probably because these Japanese kids are so fucking cute.
