She Ripped My Heart Out - Part VI: Time Out

In the end I kind of figured I needed some time out, some time away to cleanse my soul (and my liver). The beach has always had a cathartic effect on me, growing up and spending endless summers at the beach had set a pattern to my life. It was my escape and right now it was just what I needed...


The sound of the surf, the feeling of the water as it swirled around me and the sand between my toes, it all started to make sense. I knew what I had to do.

Today Steam is wearing:
Hat/hair - Dream dsg: Base cap Skull
Sunglasses - Kumaki Glasses Style: Virgo
Tattoo - Para Designs: Pirate, medium
Shorts - Connors: Half cargo camo dark

After

When I was young, a kid, people often talked about the end. "The world is going downhill,fast" , my old man used to say, "And there's no way to stop it." Of course, I didn't fully understand that then, but I could still feel, and see the poverty and misery we lived in. By the time I was born, the world was slowly falling in disarray. Wars being fought at every step, water reserves diminishing, inflation. Then, the nuclear war started. We never knew who launched the first missiles.



But that doesn't even matter now, the Mechs came next. Some say they were created by the Steamers but no one knows for sure. They were human once, but not any more. Now they just hunt and kill, leaving only devastation in their wake.

She Ripped my Heart Out - Part V: Life As A Blur

It seems sometime between then and now, one night after a few sherbets it was decided for me it was time for some ink! It's not a decision process I recall with a whole lot of clarity, although the result seems clear enough now...


I do remember waking up the next day with my self medication surrounding me and a fair amount of tingling discomfort wondering what, why, how and then finally... WTF!!

The night before must have been awesome.... that's right isn't it?

Tattoo - Para Designs: Pirate, medium
Shorts - Eminence: RockSmith army camo

the Joker

I recently finished the Zombie Popcorn hunt and one of the gifts was a Joker mask, reminiscent of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight - it didn't take me long to think of how I could use it and below is my humble attempt at honouring an actor taken long before his time and a bloke from my own home town, literally just down the road.

Steam's style:
Shape - Peer: Mustang
Skin - Verve: Christian blush
Hair - [Shag]: slow hands blonde
Facial tattoo layer - Quarantine: Joker face mask
Outfit - Campalicious: Nurse white

So until next time...

She Ripped My Heart Out - Part IV: Boy's Night Out

Sporting my two black eyes, I headed out on Saturday night with the boys, not sure where I'd end up or where I'd actually go. The memory of her touch, her warmth, her smile was burned into my soul and the feeling of being perpetually out of sync, like a spectator to my own life circled always around the edges.

A few beers later the boys thought I needed some distraction.....


Who was I to complain?

She Ripped My Heart Out - Part III: In the Ring

With all this time I now found myself with I took up all kinds of new pursuits, I decided to find my old form inside the ring so as soon as I found time I was off to Grechys Pound 4 Pound for some good wholesome heavy bag work. Problem was, I too often found myself in the ring sparing.

Too easy, this one doesn't hit back
Two black eyes later...

She Ripped My Heart Out - Part II: F*#k It

After she left and the pain had turned to red hot anger (it was her fault after all), I did what every red blooded Australian male does, I rang some mates, we went to the nearest pub and we drank and we drank and we drank some more until the pain went just away...


Really.... it was all her fault.. honest!

She Ripped My Heart Out

And with that she turned and walked out my door. There were some hard words said, the kind you always regret later. It felt like she had ripped my beating heart from my chest and left me to try and shove it back in. It wasn't a good day.

Steams style:
Pants - Trapt: Casual black pants
Ripped open chest - Death Row Designs: ripped gore chest
