Ryan's Random Rant

Currently a stranger in a strange land Melbourne - Australia. Grew up in South Africa. I'd describe myself as a colonial special if I was pressed to do so.
This blog consists of photographs of Melbourne, Street Art, my ramblings, and opinions with little citation.
Who I Follow

The Charred Horizon to the Sea
As Far as I can be
Overcome by impending Doom
The Earth Expects This Call
The Ground Responds, Rising Cold
Under a cloak, Apocalypse On My Heels

Though I’m a Dessert Tonight
Gonna Blaze a Trail
The Feelings Alright
We Escape This End To Another End

More Shadows Enter The Vale
No Longer Here We Remain
Cheating Certain Change, I Feel So Intently
Though I Knew It All The While
Though I Knew It All The Time

Though I’m a Dessert Tonight
Gonna Blaze a Trail
The Feelings Alright
We Escape This End To Another End


These are lyrics from one of the many bands I was a part of in my youth. It seems that there is an occasional decent line in amongst a LOT of angst I was experiencing as a young man.

My part-time is really giving me the shits. As I’m doing software development AND helpdesk at the same time.

I cannot adequately express how FUCKING frustrating trying to troubleshoot connectivity with someone who should have just quit the job market 15 years ago asks me: “Where is the enter key?”

I haven’t the patience for this today.

I love this advertisement. The sly smile the old man has at the end just cracks me up.

That I’m hankering to visit South Africa, it’s nearly a year since I was last there. Another trip to the Drakensberg must be done.

Some obnoxious shitheads are playing with their phones during other people’s presentations. Well they’re not so much presentations but group facilitated learning sessions, so we’re depending on each other for feedback and interaction.

I’m seriously thinking of bringing the biggest set of headphones and sunglasses to maximise the effect of “I’m ignoring you” when it’s the turn of the worst offenders.

…but you’re on opposite sides of the world and it’s certainly not going to develop into anything - like ever. That ship sailed a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away.

Just… why?

Empty Train Carridge

I guess for the otherwise awesome evening I had something had to give. Replacement buses and 40min delay getting home :( But on the bright side no annoying fellow commuters!

So the train driver is filling in.

It’s way more entertaining. This should be a regular thing.

And he squeezed my shoulder! I think I had intense bromance moment. I asked him if the Deftones were playing in South Africa at any point. To which he replied “August”. I hope it pans out for my mates back across the pond!

Asker Anonymous Asks:
But after how long will the infatuation grow until it becomes unbearable and you have to ask her? Remember my advice.

My infatuations by definition are unbearable.

I’ll remember your sagely advice kind stranger :)
