Oh you are such a fibber!

Muppet Me
Yeah right Derwent...I am Kermit!

	You are Kermit! Though you're technically the star, you're pretty mellow and don't mind letting others share the spotlight. You are also something of a dreamer.

Bloggers Block

Good Lord, it has been a long time between drinks. For a number of weeks, both Derwent and I have been fairly irregular with updating this site.

I could make up many excuses about work commitments; social commitments and both would be part of the cause of no posts. In reality though, I believe the problem extends to a phenomena I refer to as ‘bloggers block’.

I’m sure all fellow Bloggers out there understand the concept.
You begin a site you think you are somewhat interesting and you believe that people would love flocking to your site to read about your daily adventures…then you go through the stage where you love to post. Every small detail is posted for the world to read, then it gets a bit tiresome…all your best stories are told, it seems hard work to string a sentence together and then well nothing…You stare blankly at your screen, trying to think of something interesting, funny or even worthy and still nothing…

Ah…Bloggers block.

Freaks out there.....

Ok, Ok we all know tehre are feaks out there on the web that rear their ugly heads, check thsi freak, jealous of everything.....What a freak! I bet she is a stalker also.

2 0 S o m e t h i n g D o l l Ah the unmistakable pang of Jealousy. Always tends to rear its ugly head just when you least expect. It has been plaguing me rather maliciously for weeks now -- I find myself jealous of things I have never found in the least bit desirable before; people's shoes, for example. Or somebody's voice I overhear. Or a job, that I know I would probably be terrible at. Yet I am jealous all the same. It has an unmistakable sting, jealousy, not to be confused with Envy, which is by far more benign, and in general less likely to lead to random acts of violence.

So. How to cure oneself of irrational jealousy.
Option 1: Kill everyone who provokes jealousy
Option 2: Attempt to acquire attributes provoking jealousy
Option 3: Attempt to fool self with hippie theories alluding to jealousy as source of negative energy...

London
What is it with working in the UK? I mean really, the place is expensive, people are rude and smell, the weather is crap and there really is not much to do there except except drink beer and eat pies.

Yet, I have about 5 close friends who are working over there at the moment, or planning on living there for a couple of years. Is it me or just something in the water? why leave such a cool country for such a crap on. I can understand a drug fest holiday around Europe, I can understand wanting to travel, but to call the UK home, this just seems maddness!! Just think when you land, you have to find some really crap accomodation, find a good dealer and then maybe find the good clubs. Then in winter, trudge to work in the snow. Yes snow. I know it is something we Aussies know very little about, I mean our ski resorts are more like coke (the drink) slushie resorts.

Good luck you boring fucks, I hope you find all you are after!

Viral Marketing

Last week I took a quick stroll in my brand new, sleek yet very comfortable FILA sneakers, to the Broadway shopping centre. Along the way I passed many interesting stores, and decided to stop to withdraw money from the CBA ATM..where I shamelessly giggled at myself for not remembering to transfer money via CBA's brand new Internet service. It was a warm day and I was most glad that I had applied my non-greasy Banana Boat 30+ sunscreen before leaving the house. The sheer heat and exercise found me requiring refreshment and let me tell you that there is nothing more refreshing than a Sprtiz Natural Mineral Water.......

Blah, blah, blah.
Ever since that stupid 60 Minute report on Viral Marketing - this is the kind of conversation I have been engaged in. Viral marketing is like a wayward mutant pyramid scheme - with no hope of easy escape. Highly infectious, contagious - with no antidote.

I find it interesting that some people have become excitingly more interesting and informative in general conversation. Some however, have transformed into walking billboards, or radio advertisements that can't be turned off. You know it has to stop when your friends start sharing the latest product info on the Nokia phone (it has an MP3 player you know, and comes in several sporty colours, in fact you would look great with one - here feel how light mine is..great hey). Are they really your friends though....or did they sell their soul in the name of viral marketing.?

Now more than ever, conversation has become an art form. A superbly placed product endorsement in a conversation can generate dollars for the corporate empire or SME business you are employed by. The pressure of it, no longer can you enjoy a social gathering...you will be continually kicking yourself for the lost opportunities, or constantly looking for that small window of opportunity to discuss how good Helga's bread really is, as you pull a sample from your Gucci handbag.

We are living in a new age people, and as a society we must evolve. You must start now, if you ever hope to survive the next 2-3 years when VM will be at its peak. Be on your toes, start really listening to the people you come in contact with and ensure you can easily identify which ones are viral marketers and which ones are just really crap at conversation. Be prepared, and you won't be easily fooled by a bunch of new-aged marketing (so called) guru's - who just want to get into your wallet.

This is war people....Let the campaign begin!

Wankers
It always suprises me when you meet those snotty high class hoitey toitey pathetic losers who really think they are the most hip, coolest and greatest people to set foot on the earth.

At a party the last Saturday night, Pip and I meet just these people. After the 35 second introduction, this girl/woman, asked me, my friend and Pip, what we do for a living. This is ok in context but I don't belive should be the first thing to come out of someones mouth at a party. Of course the second thing to come out was, I own two properties, a BMW and some other crap.

hahaha are you serious? Good the fuck on you. I'm so happy that you are so cool that yu need to tell us this. Can't you even hold a conversation without needing to list all your assets for us....You my never to be friend are a WANKER!

Most of the other people at the party seemed to be of a similar calibar, but of course I could be mistaken after so many party favours were devoured by us, maybe it was just that we were scattered.

The world is not nice
You know when you go to one of those night clubs that are full on, you know the ones were it seems everyone is on some sort of drug and the guys have shirts off with tattoos etc. The girls are all skanks in bikinis and they charge $4 for water. Well we happened to be at one such club last Saturday night. I motioned to Pip to have a look at this girl who looked completely scattered, you know eyes rolling everywhere, and really she looked too young to be that smashed. So I sort of lent over and asked if she was ok. the answer was something like yeah...

This story is very long, so to cut it short Pip ended up looking out for her, it seems her friends had left with her wallet and money and just left her the car keys to drive home....some friends. She made it, but we were scared for her. (damn that was crap story)

XBox - XBox - XBox
It seems everyone wants one or already has one. Well I must admit, I have been playing it only a little bit but I like it. When you can play co-operative Halo, the world os all good. I am suprised that people can go out and buy the Box with all the bits spending in excess of $1500. Man I don't think I could justify that amount on a games machine. But wait, is it just a games machine? I think not. The XBox will be the source of MS getting into your house. Will you soon be able to link up you fridge to the XBox and order food online...who knows.
