Well first off, why not?

It’ sunny they have kangaroos, koalas and all sorts of cool shit there. Ok so the real reason then…

I recently went on a trip around the world (booking coming soon) and was fortunate to spend 30 + days in the AU. What I found was that it was an environment that excited me. I was born in Los Angeles, raised in Los Angeles and surrounding desserts. Recently, on a trip through 35 states of the USA I have come to the conclusion that I have been stuck in Los Angeles.

The monotony of life has caught up with me and I feel that a change is needed.

GR 1. My first 90 or so videos I lived in a basement apartment in Portland, Oregon. I was going out everynight doing the stand up mic thing, tring out lots of different jokes on live people. Most of my first videos were jokes that I adapted to vlog form. I had 30 videos and 25 subscribers but it didn’t matter cause I was excited about the work.

GR2. I moved around a bit and landed back in LA with family friends, Because Malibu is far as shit from everything I couldn’t get out and try new shit. I slipped into a internet consumed world with flashes of beach going and tennis and other distractions I call a well rounded life. I visited family in NY and had a great summer bringing you guy’s along with me, then came the “round the world trip” and two months of silence. When I got back I needed to get money and such a Job. Enter several videos about resumes and getting a job. Then having a job I decided I hated work, enter “how to quite your job. Eventually I paid off the credit cards and worked my way out of needing in job.

The Ford thing happened and I took the opportunity to quite I. I thus had to also try to start making money at the hobby. In doing this I lost the reason I love the GR to begin with. The diary failed, lots of things failed. The work became a slow decline of my ranking from 60th most subscribed to 75th. The frustration killed the creative, so I stopped caring. So enter shows about not caring about numbers and non-new year resolutions. I started liking the work again, but I need people. I need a city to feed energy off of.  The space I was working in, the people, the bridges I burn with awkward glances, I just feel that I need to get out of the country out of all that I know, and feel comfortable with, the vacuous space in LA.

I need a change, a city, a different voice talking to me.

GR3. Sydney, Australia. I know that whatever demons I have inside me will follow me where every I go. I have also learned that sometimes the battle field we choose can have an advantage on the demons we can overcome. It might take me a minute to get settled but I think Australia will replenish the soul I feel I’ve lost in creative stagnation. It will force me to meet new people, to be uncomfortable, to have new experiences. And best of all to share them with you guys.

So why Australia…?  Why not?

Translation to the Serbian Banana Song.

Banana Rap song thing

This is a song with two bananas
When you see that I have two bananas
You will think: stupidity with a bananas
This lunatic has two bananas
What is he going to do with those two bananas
Ill show now with the two bananas
I’m going to the street with these two bananas
I shoot a gun with these two bananas
Looking for a girl friends with these two bananas
I lock my bike with bike lock
I’m not an idiot im not going to let someone steel my bananas if I leave them on my bike.
What are you thinking, really, if you don’t have a brain one day you will never have two banans

(Really slow)
I will give you my banana only to smoke on
When it explodes you just swallow

You have to be smart with your two bananas
You have to watch out for your two bananas

If you waste your bananas you will catch a rabbit
The rabbit will sex you all over the world

Its not a penis and its not money
Its not for eating and its not a banana

I’m talking about life what type of bananas
All that’s life cocks bananas only your life is bananas

I will wake you up with bananas

Is he polite, does he have manners, I never said I would have them.

Ill give you a banana only to see only to see
I’ll give you a banana in your butt
Bye I’ll see you later cock

I will give you my banana only to smoke on
When it explodes you just swallow.

Well it has finally happened. I had to erase my computer and start anew. Every now and then tecnology in one area in our life spills over into other areas and requires us to update everything in order for the new thing to do what it is supposed to.

I’ve got the Iphone 3Gs because I use the video function quite a bit. and with the diarycoming back online witha  video everyday I use it more then most.

The idea is I shoot a video about everything I do that day cut it all together and post a in the life of Danny type thing sponsored by whomever… The sponsors have all lined up only thing is I can’t edit the videos because my computer is runing Ilife4. I need ilife8 or newer to recognize video files. Currently I only see the .jpeg files.

So I update ($108, and 30minutes)  I install the patches and updates  (80 minutes and 6 restarts). and what do I get.  Nothing, I also have to update my Operating software. Apparently I’m running tiger and I need Leopard,  Actually Snow Leopard would be ideal but my computer is so old it wont be able to handle the “snow Leopard.” Fucking Cat fetish asshole programmer.

So another $100 or so dollars if my friend Alex didn’t already have it and I didn’t get it for free, take that technology, he gets to put it on 5 computers and I talked him into letting me have it for a beer.  Because that was about what its worth to me.

So I install Leopard, a little way in it tells me it’s going to erase my computer and start over. I didn’t back up this book I’ve been writing so I try to get out of the startup and back up the book. There is no back up button only a keep going button. So I go to the file page and request the computer to restart from the HD and not the Disk.

this causes the computer to flash at me make a noise and turn off. Then it wouldn’t turn on. The geniuse bar is only as good as being able to erase and start over. There one size fits all solution is erase and start over. So that’s what happened.

I lost the book, about 160 pages of garbage I should have rewritten anyway… and my editing program. Final cut express.

I might need to buy it again if i can’t find it somewhere.

So to be able to  edit the video files on my phone, I traded my way to edit them and a book that I was writing, but have the latest Leopard back ground.

I would have lost more, but I backup pictures, and videos daily…

so what did we learn,

Anytime you do anything new, with old technology, it erases all that you have learned.
