SO THIS IS THIRTY...

Having recently turned 30 I have been putting some thought into what that means to me.
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly of my life at 30.
I can
now condescendingly address people in their twenties and younger as "You
Kids" and "The Youth of
Today".
I
finally get to start using the phrase "I'm too old for this shit".
Hangovers
now last three days if they don't kill you.
Indigestion
is no longer just something you hear about on a Gaviscon advert.
All
my favourite music now makes up the top ten on Classic FM.
I
have friends who are divorced.
Friendships
that are 20+ years old.
The
clothes from my twenties now make me look like you I'm trying too hard.
I prioritize
the things that truly matter to me.
All
my favourite foods are now REALLY bad for me.
I own property.
I’m no
longer afraid of making mistakes.
I
live in the present, try to learn from the past and let the future take care of
itself.
I no
longer feel the need to compete with everyone else around me and have set my
own measures for success.
My job is now a
career.
I
spend less time explaining myself.
I spend more time
being myself.
I’m
learning to stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t.
Being
accountable and taking responsibly.
Grey hairs are appearing.
Seriously, I’m 30. This is bullshit.
It could be worse. I
could be 40.
People take me more
seriously. I like that.
Stop
trying to be everything to everyone.
Everything
cool is being marketed to people younger than me now.
It’s
called "The Dirty Thirties". That’s a plus.
Not
everyone is going to like me. Tough.
Honesty
is profoundly important.
I’m
still trying to figure it all out.
I
still use the phrase "When I grow up".
30
feels no different to 20.

It’s been
five years since Australian electro-dance duo Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore of
Empire of the Sun released their
debut album ‘Walking on a Dream’ and
at long last the sequel to that masterpiece has arrived.
‘Ice on the Dune’ is the follow-up album that has recently been released,
and as expected, it delivers all the goods. Although the album bares their
distinct brand of feel good funk and is comfortingly familiar, it does have a
fresher more mature sound to it and the production values are fantastic!

The Wheel House is a live street performance
by two acrobatic entertainers who move a circular stage around public spaces
entertaining audiences with their highly technical and masterfully skilled
performances.
The interior of the wheel is designed to look like a house, with
doors, windows, curtains and a small kitchen. The characters, dressed as hobos,
carry out daily household tasks whilst moving the wheel along a road to nowhere.
The performance is scored by the creaking wheel and accompanied by an audio
soundtrack.
Acrojou Circus Theatre describes the piece as, "Theatrical
acrobatics, comedy, and breathtaking moments of risk, all housed within an
exquisite, hand-built structure."

Dane Stops is a Durban Street Art
heavyweight and (in my humble opinion) the best 3D artist in the city.
His influences include Stefan Sagmeister, How & Nosm, Ces, Daim, FX crew, Esk and Phek.
In 2012 Dane took top honors in a Sprite competition which saw him win a trip to America which heightened his profile.

His use of light and shadow skillfully
accentuate perspective and the relationship between the 2D surface and 3D
representation. Dane is fascinated by ‘realistic’ representations of form using
various objects to take the form of letters. My favorite of these being his
octopi G letters which are simply mind blowing!
His influences include Stefan Sagmeister, How & Nosm, Ces, Daim, FX crew, Esk and Phek.
In 2012 Dane took top honors in a Sprite competition which saw him win a trip to America which heightened his profile.
You can connect with Dane via his
blog or on Twitter and if you would like to commission a piece you can email
him directly.
