(My brother is listening to it, I can hear it in my room)

Okay so, I think Shannyn may have given up on this... I SHOULD go harrass her about this, but I really can't be bothered. Regardless of how bored I may be at the moment...

Meh.

I'm gonna go watch some more Eureka. WATCH IT YO!

Ciao.

Never Wanted To Dance - Mindless Self Indulgence

So, on Saturday night, I went to this thing at the Town Hall Ruins. This totally awesome comedy night. Where the winner gets flown down to Canberra to compete, and possibly win $2500, so that's cool.

Anyway, it was pretty awesome. Josh Thomas hosted it, that was funny. He was heckled by this middle aged lady named Jacinta for pretty much the whole night. He kinda mocked me and Jackie-boy though... Oh well, it's funnier looking back on it....

But yeah. There were some pretty awesome acts. Separated At Birth were AWESOME, and they won. Um... Ben Davies (I think that was his name...) he was pretty damn funny too. The awesome ginger hippy was good too, good musician... Um... Bronson Ingham was pretty good, needs a little work the lovely Mr Ingham does, but yeah, I'm impressed with my former classmate.

But yeahhhh...

I'ma go Convert some Vegetarians now.

Musical music, of the noisy variety.

End of the Road - Eddie Vedder

So then, I've recently been listening to the Into The Wild soundtrack (it's a wonderful movie too by the way, and I'm assuming it's a good book), and I've decided that I very much adore it.

All done by Eddie Vedder, you know, from Pearl Jam, which is pretty epic... Or not... Whatever, it's cool.

But yeah, check it out.

I'ma go now, and I'm gonna see whether Shannyn can update this at some point... Because she hasn't been. :(

Just - Radiohead.

So, I like Just by Radiohead, but Eddy likes Just by Mark Ronson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZng4Kd0Am4 - Radiohead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXHMfe7xDw8 - Mark Ronson.

What about you?

What do you reckon?

Radiohead just sounds much more mellow... And it's THEIR song... So it sounds... I dunno... Better...

That's just my opinion though...

Why do my friends insist on adapting my msn names?

2009-07-19T17:50:00.000+09:30

So, TODAY, my friend Reegan adapted my current msn name, which is Two Weeks In Hawaii - Hellogoodbye.

"I hope this makes you vile. And you might stay that way for a while. 'Cause you deserve evil grins that you get" - Reegan.

Seriously, why?

Slide - The Goo Goo Dolls

Just got back from watching The Reader.

It. Is. Amazing.

Seriously, go and watch it.

It's about Germany, and two people, during and before the Nurembourg Trials.

But yeah.

Absolutely stunning performances from Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes, and David Kross.

Oh, silly Brittany

You could never put me off Chocolate.

So here's a song.

Kudos.

Also I fucking love www.etsy.com
Support indie and handmade products!
Because they make lovely lovely faux berets that make my heart sing.

Chocolate anybody?

2009-07-09T12:35:00.003+09:30

Gasoline - Audioslave

It appears that chocolate could possibly have some new, undesirable ingredients now... Such as human blood.

Yesterday (8th of July), a man in New Jersey, USA, fell into a two-and-a-half-metre deep mixing vat, filled with melted chocolate.

It is reported that co-workers attempted to fish the man out of the boiling mixture, and shut off the machine, but unfortunately, he was hit by the "agitator" that is used to stir the chocolate, and was fatally wounded by it.

The 29-year-old was a temporary employee at Cocoa Services Inc plant, Cocoa Services hire another company, Lyons And Sons, to do the mixing.

Wow, that's put me off chocolate... It's also made it so that I never want to work with chocolate, ever.

Anyway, now that I've said that, and likely put people off of chocolate, I'm off!

Have fun.

Under The Milkyway - The Church

Soooooooo, I was browsing the news on ninemsn.com earlier today and came across this... Delightful (?) article.

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/833539/teacher-gives-sex-tape-to-students

Apparently, a Year 5 teacher accidentally added videos of her own sexual exploits, to a DVD created about the class and their activities, which she then distributed to her class.

The mistake was discovered when a young boy and his father watched the DVD together.

The aforementioned father alerted the teacher, and they rang all parents to get the DVD back.

Harmless mistake, but SO DAMN FUNNY! I mean, come on, anyone who can't see the humour in that is WAY too uptight. So maybe it's a little bad, well, pretty bad, that her students saw her "having a good time" on the couch, but it's funny...

Maybe I'm just a little mean.

Either way.

That's my news.

I was going to post a video...

2009-07-04T17:29:00.002+09:30

But it's 5:30PM and I know that's a fucking cop-out. I just woke up.
I feel like crawling into a very small hole and setting up shop.

FML. lolololololol.

I really fucking wish people would shut up about MJ.

The Duke Spirit (yes, still, you smug bastard)

We get it. He's dead.
Yes, he was a big bundle of controversy, he was off the deep end and pretty freakin' plastic. He didn't father his children, he may or may not have had romantic feelings for children, and further, he may or may not have even molested children.
He was acquitted.
Plenty of people have children by surrogate parents.

Just leave it alone already. It's ridiculous.

Warning Sign - Coldplay

I really like this song at the moment. :D

Darn Frenchy, supposed to come to ballroom yesterday, but no. Now more plans must be made to further 'international relations', as it may be referred to in good company... Remember, this is for the lulz.

Watched Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark last night.

It's a pretty awesome movie (I am an Indy fan, deal with it), but a general rule has been developed: If there is any form of logic that prevents Indiana Jones from accomplishing something, throw that logic out the window, because it doesn't apply to him.

Also, supposedly the Nazis in Indiana Jones are weak because it required four of them to lift the Ark, while it only took Indy and his mate.

Just saying.

Au revoir ma cheries.

I swear I will post something of consequence eventually.

Some good movies.

2009-06-30T00:05:00.003+09:30

Takeoffs and Landing - The Ataris....

Anyway, here is a list of some good movies. Not necessarily the dodgy Hollywood-cliched blockbusters.

American History X - About the effects of neo-nazism in modern America/modern American families and societies.

Ben X - About an autistic boy who is bullied into committing suicide to prove a point.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - About a skeleton who is dissatisfied with Halloween, thinking it is lacking something.

V For Vendetta - About totalitarianism, rebellion, and the revenge of one man who had been wronged by the system.

Sweeney Todd - About a murderous barber in his quest for revenge, and the woman who helps him.

A few of them might be a LITTLE heavy... I like them all though... This is all I can think of at the moment...

Let it be known I love this album, by the way.

As you can see, our team has expanded, and I'm joined by Biccy, a lass with attitude and admin priviliges.
She can actually speak French. >_>

In other news!

In yet more disgusting Jackson controversy, his ex-wife and mother of his two children has spoken out and admitted he is not their biological father and their marriage was an absolute sham.
Can anyone really say they're surprised?
Also, how fucking awesome is this?
A bear broke into a fridge and ate a shitload of chocolate. Muahahaha.
Apparently we've also found a saint, and science agrees? Or corroborates, or was bought out. The arms of the Catholic Church reach far. Though, what would they have to gain?
It's ridiculous.

Now, I have to express my sadface at something that happened to me recently. I love ferrets. I think they are wonderful and lovely little bundles of vicious joy and fuzz. They are illegal in the NT and QLD, the former of which happens to be where I live and seem to be stuck. After research of ownership, communities, and doing "d'awwwwwww!" over google images, I wrote a letter of appeal to the council for any exceptions to the legislation banning domesticated ferrets.

To whom it may concern,

I am a young Territory citizen enquiring about any possible exceptions to the legislation banning domesticated ferrets in the Northern Territory.

To the best of my knowledge, the current legislation is in place to prevent the breeding and ensuing pest problem.

I understand this is a serious issue, and the potential repercussions of granting this loaded request, were it to go awry, are far from preferable. With full knowledge of that, I, with all due respect, must ask how far I can push the envelope here. I am very passionate about ferrets, but have been in Darwin for most of my life.

That said, I know the precautions I would have to take to ensure my ferret was well confined and desexed, as well as the lengths I would have to go through to import a desexed kit from interstate, and the no doubt extensive process of registering it.

I would gladly accept liability for my ferret’s care and consequences of its presence. This is an earnest appeal from a Territorian for some correspondence, and hopefully, permission and a permit. I do understand if you remain immovable on the subject, but would appreciate your reasoning, and if I may, to attempt to further plead my case and clear up any misnomers.

Thank you for your time.

Yours sincerely,

That said, after waiting a day or so and being forwarded around departments, I got a PDF
FULL OF BULLSHIT
which, suffice to say, was rather upsetting.
Graham Phelps, the executive director of Parks and Wildlife, can suck my fucking cock.
There was in excess of a page offering completely irrelevant examples of feral rodents, and okay I know I'm just going to sound like a dick if I continue this rant, I know it's not his fault, and his stance is valid, but come on. Fucking robots. At least he doesn't sound as backwards as most of our politicians. But he's my scapegoat for now. I just wish I hadn't had to read through all the bullshit and formal nonsense (in place to quash any chance for a retaliation maybe. No holes to exploit, no argument to be had. That said, it wasn't exactly a sound piece, but it's the thought that counts) and took the last paragraph to say "oh no exceptions GTFO"

Motherfucker. >_>

Bat For Lashes
The Duke Spirit

As I read in a neat little article here (http://www.thelocal.se/20232/20090623/) a Swedish couple are refusing to reveal whether their toddler is a boy or girl.

It’s a neat idea, really, but come on. Good in theory, admirable motives, and to a less extreme extent, should be recommended to many parents.

It’s all well and good to let “Pop” decide what “Pop” wants to wear, be, do, etc, but I don’t know. I’m not saying forcing gender roles on a child is good, but some people can’t forge an identity for themselves in the absence of society’s guiding hand. It might suck, but if Pop can’t find a niche for itself, Pop will be incredibly gender confused, possibly damagingly so.

I can understand wanting to ease a child into whatever role they choose, but Pop is alone in it’s upbringing, surrounded by children in conventional gender roles. It could be potentially damaging to feel outcasted, different and Pop may find difficulty socialising. Whilst Pop might be comfortable in a genderless identity, other children just beginning school have the ingrained preconceptions their parents have passed onto them, and also think the opposite gender is icky. Where does Pop fit in?

Bitch, if you don’t know what it is, how do you know if it has cooties?

Not to mention highschool, assuming Pop hasn’t defined itself a gender by then, concepts of sexuality will be skewed. Plus, ya’know, public bathrooms will be just weird.

Inherently, their motives are in the right place, but they’re not going about this the right way, and you can’t expect so much change all at once, let alone for a single child.

It’s their offspring. Not a guinea pig.

Interpol

Wire

As of now, I’m sure EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PERSON ON EARTH knows that Michael Jackson is dead, so there’s no need to dwell on that.

What I find most disconcerting is the media’s and ensuing public reactions.

On LiveWire, people are going off their nuts, some even saying that because of the alleged (and acquitted) charges against him (which were all obviously true right?) his passing should not be mourned, especially not by the mere fan. What bullshit. I mean, I’ll concede I think they’ve gone a little overboard, but he was an icon. He shaped and revolutionised so many aspects of musical culture, dance and was a humanitarian. No one can deny that. He was the King of Pop. That title should not be disputed.

One of his accusers apparently admitted yesterday that the allegations were false.

The way the media has handled the whole situation is appalling. Everyone is just cashing in on his death. It’s ridiculous. Their portrayal of him as just done a 180. he has gone from “Wacko Jacko” to a fallen hero. They focus now, retrospectively, on his humanitarian work, musical legacy and influence, whereas in the past decade and a half, it was his actions, court case, scandals, bizarre behaviour and expenditure that got all the screen time. Fuck that. I mean, I had no delusions about how two-faced the media was, but shit.

These celebrities all over the world, mostly America, expressing their grief. It’s insane. All of his advocates are trying to feed this attitude as much as they can, especially if there is a profit to be made. Ex-publicists-turned-authors, managers, lawyers, friends and even family that maintained his innocence are painting this picture of a frail, victimised man, with a stolen childhood and mental instability. Whether there’s any merit to it or not is irrelevant. Everyone is taking advantage of his passing. His songs are back in the charts, his albums and memorabilia are experiencing record sales. Gotta ask yourselves why. Out of genuine fanaticism, or “he’s been martyred and as we’ve seen from previous generations, this will be worth a small fortune eventually.”

The very nature of our greed as humans frightens me sometimes.

But hey, we need all the economic stimulus we can get.
