Work, Love and other Catastrophes
Here we are at Thursday. How I got here I’m not exactly sure.

Work is floating past nicely; I have surprised myself on how productive I have been the last few days, I think it was more out of necessity to ensure the days go quickly than my complete dedication towards the position.

Love is floating along nicely; I have been surprised by how wonderful the little things are. A morning greeting or a e-card from your lover can really make you smile and remember how fine it is to be in love.

Catastrophes, I have managed to escape any catastrophes and now I’m just waiting for the weekend.

There have been a signifigant lack of updates from Pip and I because we have just been partying too hard. Things are just too hard at the moment. Stayed tuned, we will be back in form, once the drugs ware off!

Shameful pimping of other webloggers, funny how we suddenly become neighbours without actually knowing...

Jish asked me to say HI! to my webloggers webring neighbours.
» to the left of me: Umm Dunno.
» to the right of me: Glass Wings.

Bums
We have all seen them moving slowly along the pavement, or sleeping in the local park. Not many of us can say we have actually stopped for a conversation with a bum. We all have our different reasons, out of mind out of sight, the smell is just too much or perhaps you feel it is rude to wake them during a deep sleep.

The Bumhunt.com website gets up close to Bums.

Live your own life
I find it somewhat ridiculous when I come across people who seem to live their lives through their partners. These people seem to lack either the confidence or flair to find a hobby or interest of their own so they just become a parasite, clinging to their host-like partner.

The host of the relationship probably finds this an attractive characteristic of their parasite, to find a girl/guy who shares the same interests…and of course that is true. I do think you can take it too far though.

Take for example a girl I work with.
Her better half rides a motorbike she does not. But if you were to ask her about motorbikes she would repeat verbatim everything she has heard from the boyfriend in seven-part harmony. None of what she says is based on personal experience – as she has never ridden a motorbike – but you ask her and she will tell you she knows it all.

Get involved in and share the hobbies of your partner and friends. Just don’t become an authority on a subject – just because someone you know does it. In my opinion, it makes you seem desperate for a life.

New Order
To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much. After reading a couple of bad reviews about New Order live - I went in expecting the worst. Man, was I surprised!!!!! New Order went off - like a frog in a sock. Derwent and I were dancing away in our own little worlds...it was all good.

David Byrne
The guy is a guru, what an awesome concert. He got three standing ovations. Apart from the fact that my mother wanted o go and see him and most of the people there were olderthan my mother. HE ROCKED!

Who put the dot in dot com
Who cares really. It was a great adaventure that Pip and I did last weekend, makes it very hard to get back into the swing of things, with Monday and Tuesday now rolling extremly slowly, leading up to a huge week of musical events. Today we start with the old David Byrne in concert, Tomorrow New Order, (these two acts do start to show our age) Saturday sees us at the Big Day Out make sure you say hi if you see us. Even if you don't know what we look like just say hi to any guy and girl you see, you will meet heaps more people that way. Sunday we finish with Vibes on a Summers day, again, if you see us, say hello. Monday will be relaxation time, at this stage I will be holding a pool party at my place and you are all invited.

Dapper fashion is back for men
After years of grunge, it seems that the well dressed are back in fashion, or are they?

This season real men maybe wearing, a three-piece suit, with a pair of high-soled multi coloured joggers or a plaid sports jacket with the sleeves reversed (to show the lining) or even a velvet lounge jacket with…the ‘comeback’ skivvy.

Call me uncivilised, but for a fella you really can’t go past a pair of Levis, a T-shirt and fine cologne.

Love Your Disease
Have you ever come across a person that just loves to be sick? They find out they have some rare strain of tropical fungus and just can’t wait to tell you all about it (in full detail). It seems this kind of person is happy to have this busted-arse disease and is even inclined to promote the fact.

I have one of these people at my office. Couldn’t wait to tell me this morning how lucky she is to have contracted the seventh rarest form of tinea. Only found in 4 countries and so far only 15,000 people worldwide actually have it – she happens to be one of them.

There was even an offer to remove the shoe and sock to give me the opportunity to see this national treasure up close and personal. I think I disappointed her when I told her I really didn’t have the time now – but maybe later. I really don’t want to see tinea, even if it is rare.

Fair suck of the sav.
Fair enough love your disease, but don’t spread it around – that is what starts an epidemic.

Adventure
Two friends, two motorbikes and approx. 700Kms of road – and we have adventure.

Last weekend Derwent and I headed off on a new adventure and went north for some R&R. After month(s) of parties, work and stress – we took the opportunity of a beautiful sunny weekend to get away.

We headed off two hours later than planned (mainly due to my lack of organization), finally to the disgust of Derwent we set off around 7.00amish. What a beautiful morning it was.

Destination Foster
Besides a couple of beaches there really isn’t much to Foster. There is however, some beautiful National Parks around Foster and miles of secluded/unpatrolled beaches.

After a 3 hour ride we arrived at Foster, and headed to the beach for a paddle and sunbake – where we both promptly fell asleep and managed to get really horribly burnt…….all bad.

Sunday morning we set off for the return trip. We took advantage of the beautifully warm day to see some more of the mid-north coast. Taking a dirt road to Myall Lakes and then a punt trip to Mungo Brush – before speeding along a back-road to Hawke’s Nest where we stopped at the beach.

Making our way back through Newcastle and the Central Coast before tackling the Old Pacific Hwy. The Old Pacific Hwy, is all but deserted - it is also a much loved bit of road for most motorbike riders. It has long sweeping S-Bends and really puts man (girls as well) and machine to the test. VRRROOOOOOMMMMMMMM.

I can tell you after the 9-hour ride home, I was pretty happy to get off the bike and rest my legs and butt!!!!

I Loooooooove Lollies
If you are anything like me (which you probably are not – I doubt you really would want to be either – I have been told I’m a little crazy, but in a good way?), then you enjoy the odd lolly.

If you were to ask me which lolly is my favourite, I would easily say the Redskin. It is difficult to explain why this lolly is my favourite, as it is difficult to eat, can be sticky and well doesn’t even taste that terrific – it is just one of things…I love them.

I also enjoy Magic Gum, Gummi Bears and of who could forget Runts.

Virgin Spears
If you are part of the revolutionised free world you have probably heard of Britney Spears. This young lady is a rock, in a society that is basically perverted, promiscuous and down right dirty. (If she were to walk past King Arthur’s statue he would drop his sword – so to speak). Her body is her temple and she is saving herself for marriage. You go girl!

All I can say is, have you seen her video clips.
You can’t tell me that a girl who is basically having an orgy, or flashes a bit of camel toe is pure. The sensual glow alone is a dead give away.

The trouble with teenagers…..
Prince Harry is a party about to happen. You have to feel sorry for the royal lad. He skulls a few pints, pulls a few cones and is heading off to rehab and lectured by the future King. You have to admit that most teenagers dabble in under-age drinking and even the odd reefer – when the average teenager gets busted they don’t end up on the front page of The Sun.

It all seems a bit steep to me. Like J.J.Cale said: Let it all hang out.

Stalkers
Why is it that some people that you just want to go away, seem to linger around you like a bad smell. You’ve indicated that you don’t want to be their friend, lover or have any contact with them at all and yet they still seem to want to be apart of whatever it is you are doing.

It all starts to get a bit strange when this ‘Stalker’ appears at places where you just happen to be. You are dining with some friends, and there he/she is. “Fancy, meeting you here” the Stalker comments. Then a couple of days later you are on a train and you hear the voice, “Fancy, meeting you here”.

Is it that stalkers are desperate for friends that once you show any sign of approval they latch on like a leech and are impossible to shake? Or is it that these people really have no idea on how annoying they really are – in fact they think they are doing you a favour by being your friend.

To me, there are many levels of stalkers: same-gender Stalkers, opposite-gender Stalkers, lust Stalkers, and freaky/Dangerous Stalkers. All being equally annoying, some are more dangerous than the others.

More and more people are being cyber-stalked. Strange e-mails appearing in your inbox, from people that you don’t think you know, but you actually may. It is so simple to create a whole new identity on-line. With the right amount of care and without spending a cent - you can create an email address, build photo albums for this alter-personality, a personal homepage, and even make a network of friends without even leaving your computer. It is kind of scary really.

Ultimately it comes down to this – you are a Stalker, a Stalkee or a Bi-Stalker (you like it both ways). Go forth and meet people on-line, but always ask for at least 6 forms of identification before inviting them back to your home.

What are your thoughts on Stalkers Derwent (if that is your real name)?

Well the mini rocket launch was a success with both the small rocket and the slightly bigger one launching to perfection. All who came along for the launching were pleased. As was Pip and myself because we really don't have a clue what we are doing. I think next time we should maybe not launch in such a densly populated area.

Has anyone ever had the problem of logging into their Yahoo email account and finding that they can't. This morning i tried and it tells me my password is wrong. I don't think so, I have used that password and email account for the last...god knows how long. It serves me right using my first name as a password I guess. If you get an email from me then, umm it wasn't me...

It's Friday today, so everyone have a great weekend and...

Rockets
Today will be the first launching of Scorpion 4000. This is the latest rocket in the Derwent-Pippy Rocket Collection.

This little baby is pure power, it can launch into space (well almost into space, well not quiet space, no-where near space in actual fact). Hand engineered by Derwent himself (I read the directions though), its launch will set us apart from the hobbyist Rocket Launcher and bring us into the realm of hard-core Rocketeers.

Ok, I’m kidding.
We are planning on launching our busted-arsed Rocket this afternoon – and although a power little baby – it will be lucky if thing gets of the ground. Stupidly (it was my pure excitement), I have invited a 6 or so people to witness the event.

Today I share just some of the crap from my Inbox with you.

Have you ever dreamed of staying home, spending more time with your loved ones, and becoming financially free all at the same time? Then here's your chance!

If you have the desire and willingness to earn more income each month and have the ability to follow some simple instructions, you too can become oneof the thousands of people who are achieving financial freedom every day - simply and easily!

What to do at lunch time?
Suprisingly enough, this thought always comes to me at about lunch time. what do you do in that one hour, or less as the case may be? Do you always go to the same store to buy your food? Do you always go to the gym? Or maybe you always stroll through the shops or just sit at your desk and surf that internet thing.

Well have I got some suggestions for you. You can diagnose a bacterial infection or maybe, whiten those teeth or take a tour of a planetarium, develop photos, duck down a dark/quiet alley for a quickie with your girl or that cute chick from accounting, watch one hour of girl power from the spice girls, bake some bread, strip some paint, or maybe just have that lunchtime combo after all. Please note these are just some suggestions, not recommendations. For recommendations, well, get to the pub and have the liquid lunch, makes your offices mates lauch at your drunked antics all afternoon and the day go quicker for you. Have fun!

Well whilst praising the great job the firies were/are doing on the NSW fires, it seems water was to be my biggest enemy. I awoke the other morning at about 5:30 to the sound of running water. No wonder I needed to pee real bad. I look out my window and see water absolutely pissing around the side of the house.

It seems a water main had burst and gushed through the lower level of my house. Excellent a foot and a half of water over everything, including my computers, stero, tv, documents, video tapes, ah heck you name it. So you would be correct in assuming that I'm none to cheery at the moment.

Horrible Monday
I just don’t want to be at work today. I don’t want to be looking at a computer screen for a good eight hours, and I don’t want to be sitting inside at a desk.

I need a holiday.

Fire-setting
I was surprised to read that it was mainly teenagers who were responsible for lighting many of the fires that are blazing across NSW. Don’t think I’m preaching, I was by no means the perfect teenager – however, I can honestly say that I was not responsible for causing anything of such malice destruction.

Fire Fire Fire
If you are reading this site from another country ie not Australia, then you may not be aware of the fires that are raging through the state of NSW. I'd like to send a HUGE GOOD JOB to all the fireies out there who have worked through Christmas and the New Year to help those people whose houses are under threat or have been destroyed by the fire. To those 20 or more low life scum who have been busted for arson over this period, I hope to hell you get burned, come over here and say hello....F#$%#% SCUM!

Durex Global Sex Survey

For Nate
The statistics show that 1 in 5 people have sex on the first night. Whether this is completed in the car, home, park or toilet I’m not too sure.

Shaggin’ Wagon, F%&k Truck or Root Boot are all names for the Vehicular Love Den. The VLD has long been a favourite of teenagers, two-timing and sexuality adventurous lovers. I don’t see why having first time sex in the car could be considered tacky by your new love interest. Obviously, she was up for a bit of slap and tickle if she was willing to jump your bones in the car.

My advice.
You seem like a decent kind of guy, so just be yourself.

I think the key, if you like this girl and you want to take it further, is to romance her. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. Why not send her a card filled with cut-out love hearts or kisses (X), or you could meet for a picnic lunch and just spend some time talking.

If you don’t want to take it further with her, but want her to know that you aren’t the kind of person that does this often – then have the courtesy to meet with her for coffee and drop it into the conversation, and don’t promise to call her if you know you won’t. Set the right expectations.

My warning.
Be careful. I can’t really comment on the dance/disco/club scene in the US. In Australia though, there is a growing number of Disco Skanks. These girls are wretched vermin that appear flashy in their skimpy jeans and tight tops – they are very shallow and do the rounds. Make sure you aren’t the one being bamboozled.

Good luck, and let us know how you go!

Oh Man.
Hello, it has been a while.

Christmas 2001
Everyone is probably over it by now, but Merry Christmas from me to you. If like me you still have half a leg of ham in the fridge, you are more than likely sick of ham – ham for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think I will write a cookbook 101 ways to eat, cook and enjoy ham. My favourite at the moment is ham, avocado, Swiss cheese and tomato toasted sandwich. But even that is getting a bit tiring.

NYE 2002 – That was f%&cking great!
Fireworks.
Once again Sydney officials have out done themselves. A 17.5-minute visual feast was enjoyed by 1000’s of people crowded along the harbour foreshore. My opinion on the fiery display – it was pretty much the same as last year. Not to put a downer on the whole thing, but maybe we should go for something with a bit more crowd participation. Tokyo citizens had the right idea; everyone let go of balloons that floated around the city at mid-night.

My night.
A party about to happen, a party that happened, and then they swept up the streamers.
It was all good.
And to think next year can only get better!

Derwent’s night (as interpreted by Pip).
Boy can this boy hurl.
I have never seen anyone vomit like Derwent. It is like something out of a horror movie, a loud squealing noise followed by a gush of liquid that travels at the speed of light. I must say Derwent; you have the most interesting vomit of anyone I know.

Your night.
So what did everyone else get up to?
