Another Sharp Knife Shattered!!!

Oh man thats been some evil few days before this. Finally got most of my exams out of the way, but feel really irritated that I have to wait another week before I do my last exam. And we all know whats going to happen after that, either I am going to have done alot to things, or need to get eye surgery. I wonder how much our eyes can actually take?? By the way, my exams till date went down well. I just dont feel like studying anymore :P

Golfer Shibs is in the country, and should be paying me a visit sometime soon. I sense some fun times down the road for me, lets see how that goes. But on the flip side, Madamn N is leaving town for a month, so I wont see her for a while. The other and I have a lot of things planned out. And I have a lot of TV shows to get through. Haha actually I have already started watching Smallville. I figure that the other has already seen the season, so I better just get on with it and watch it. At the moment I am having a lot of fun with this episode. One thing I have to say about that show, whoever chose the songs for that show kicks ass, and kudos to him/her.

You know there are somethings that I take for granted, like food on the table. I have been quite spoiled for the last ummm, whole life, where I didnt have to prepair a meal, it just some how works its way up to the table. Unluckily for the next month I am going to have to cook for myself, and isnt that going to be a lot of fun. I think I will experiment with a range of variety!!

ALright, its late, and I need to watch a few more smallville episodes before I call it quits and go to sleep. Hmmm I dont think I will study tommo either, after tommo I will get to studying. Cheers folks!!!

Are those everywhere?!

Being on my own is crazy. I believe I've hit the first stage of paranoia and I'm no longer able to sleep. The other has had his catering stopped for the holidays so now we both have to cook and survive on a freakin' budget! Ahh, those pre-packaged noodles are a godsend I must say. However, it is good to have my parents gone, and after I take care of the truckload of chores that I have tomorrow, I can enjoy it for about one day before I start my week long hardcore study session. I feel great, I've re-started the holiday exercise program and I am totally knackered each afternoon.

I'm also loving the re-runs of Seinfeld in the afternoons. Of course I get up a bit too late to watch them, but that's what my good ol' VCR is for. There are even some eps that I haven't seen more than once, so I am loving them as much as I saw them the first time.

I don't like most Australian music. I'm sorry, but the vast majority of it is pretentious and enjoyable only for the artists and their direct fans. It's actually crap. It's mostly ambiguous and nonsensical and it shouldn't even rate as music. Obscure poetry layed over some weird time signatures and melodies and that's pretty much it. However, good Australian music is among the finest in the world. But what bothers me is that it's so rare to hear a good Australian song.

Been watching a lot of Mythbusters, and yes it is bloody awesome. Added bonus, Scottie the redhead from the build team is a total mega babe! Haha, just thought I'd get that out of the way.

Oh yeah, since folks are gone now, I have to rely on myself for transport. Driving after such a long time is so very strange. My skills have disappeared, but I can drive practically so that's all that's needed for now anyway. First thing I noticed after dropping my folks off at the airport (it was a public holiday) was that there are an awful lot of hot women driving, unfortunately they all seem to be driving in the opposite direction to me all the time! Story of my life, haha! Ahh, hopefully my month long self imposed exile won't result in insanity. Quick side note, the counter staff ladies at Qantas are HOT! Why are all the staff that are employed by Airline companies so ridiculously attractive? I'd like to know the reasoning behind that. Well of course, it's a nice thing to have to look at, but is there any practical purpose? I remember drinking a lot of soft drink on a flight once just so I could be served by the same flight attendant, heehee!

It was Queen's Birthday holiday the other day so of course there were fireworks. WHY ARE THEY NOT OUTLAWED?! I swear, some people have full on freakin' explosives! How are people able to get their hands on them? Police aren't doing enough with the problem. Hopefully with the appointment of a new police commissioner here, hopefully things will finally get done.

Not just that! An Adult Store was selling fireworks too! How the hell did they get a licence to do that?! Fan-bloody-tastic! That means that the idiots will also be breeding new generations of idiots to continue doing idiotic things and in turn also breed!

I apologise for my previous remarks somewhere. I went with the other and Madam N to see Mr & Mrs Smith tonight and it was AWESOME! I actually loved the flick. I thought it was going to be a brainless action romp, but it was cleverly written and peppered with witty dialogue. I'd advise you all to see it (especially if you're married). Not JUST because Miss Jolie and Mr Pitt are in it. Oh regarding my remarks, I apologise as Miss Jolie is HOTTTT, she looked damn sexy in this movie. Like a damn hot sex goddess, make love to me now now now, and we can be kinky and tra la la la, enough of that!

That's enough for tonight. I should watch some backlog of tv. Have a nice day folks.

Eito, not eight hoes!

I have a confession to make. I like dance music. Yep, techno, yep trance. But not the mindless beats which seems to attract so many of today's young. I like music with a feeling and a vibe about it. I'm not a clubber and I'm not a subwoofer blasting idiot cruising your neighbourhood at ungodly hours. Music should make you feel something. And that's why electronic music (for me lately) is so good, it doesn't just stick to conventional instruments. There are noises which are unfamiliar which can ignite feelings and emotions.

I should have mentioned it a few months back but I got a new VCR upstairs. It's actually got a timer so I never miss a bloody show anymore and I don't have to get up early to record stuff anymore! I'm a very happy chappy indeed. But of course it also means that I'm watching a lot more tv. And with the other's plan to watch a gazillion hours of tv these hols, we are bound for certain death.

Damon from Blur made a good point about Live 8 being a farce. The money is to be used to help Africa and it's cause but there are hardly any black acts performing at the concerts!! A little dodgy? You tell me.

Leonardo Da Vinci and Keith Moon. Not so different you know. Both were eccentric geniuses of their field. You know what the common thread is? Da Vinci had a very limited formal education. He only learned how to count on an abacus and that was about as far as his schooling went. Moon never had a single music lesson. However, it was through experience and observation that they came to be at the top of their respective fields. Then this got me thinking. Education in it's current form is holding us back. The current contraints in place stop us from thinking "outside the box", and hence we accomplish nothing new. And the big problem is, that if you don't belong within the existing paradigm of education, you get denounced straight away. There are no good thinkers anymore and that's quite sad. We need to change this so each person can realise their full potential. That's what made those two so great, they didn't know what to actually think. They didn't know what was meant to be right or wrong. Imagine if it didn't turn out that way? Half of science wouldn't exist, no progressive art (no Da Vinci Code either hehe), and The Who would have folded with second rate drumming.

Note to other. Canadian Grand Prix on tonight/tomorrow morning at 2:30am so keep an eye out. Note to self: tape it.

Also another one for the other, I actually heard the full version of the music used in the Garner Fructis ads. It's called Diamonds and Guns by Transplants. Why would the other care, you may ask? Well the Fructis stuff is the preferred hair care product of the other, and I came to know this via hilarious circumstances when he arrived.

I probably can't post tonight as I need to sleep so I can drive my folks to the airport and make it back home alive. So the night after that you shall hear from me again!

Have a nice day folks.

Put yourself between a bullet and a target

Watching Rage at the moment and this amazing song (mentioned above) came on. It's amazing. It's like Everlast, it's that great! It's by Citizen Cope, can't tell if he's Australian or American but either way it's some good stuff. Woo, new Motor Ace clip is on, I shall return.

Hmm I've seen it a few times now and I am a little skeptical. Their last album was perhaps the best Australian album of all time, but this new stuff is just totally experimental. It's a good song, but it lacks heart. But on their site I heard samples of awesome orchestra samples and I'm hoping for a return to the Carry On days.

With nothing to do I decided to watch all the tv I taped when I went interstate last week. Damn, close to 6 hours of tv and I am feeling a little worse for wear. But got to see the end of that Da Vinci Code special and it was amazing. I really must read Holy Blood Holy Grail. BUTTT not before I finish The Fountainhead and Angels And Demons which I shall do soon. (The other is to borrow The Fountainhead).

Damn, I had some intellectual points to make but now I've forgotten all of them!! Haha, see that's what happens when I don't make blog notes! Bad Joaquin, bad Joaquin!!

Also looking to buy a new computer this weekend hopefully. It depends on how my folks feel about a purchase.

Oh dear, I've run out of things to say! Too bad! Have a nice day folks.

Big breasts kill concentration...I think..?

Wow! Two posts in a row, I am on fire! Haha, probably the wrong choice of words after watching Law & Order SVU, where a victim was killed and then set alight. The other has two exams today, the first starting in 8 hours! So I say good luck to the poor lad and I expect distinctions in both classes that you're being examined on today!

I'll try to keep this somewhat succinct because I am aiming to get rid of the entire backlog of blognotes that I have, but there are only a few so let's have at it.

The other made a brilliant point about sanity being totally subjective, and hence not being able to be ascertained objectively. This is quite true. What is the existing paradigm of sanity in the current Western tradition? Every person will have a different answer. So why do we have Psyche institutions, why is insanity a defence at trial? Wow, I sound like a post-modernist, but why should the people who determine what sanity is be able to subject everyone else to that meaning? It's inherently wrong, but that's how these things work.

Truth is like that too. There is no such thing as objective truth. As anything knowledge related is done via language and language is an imperfect tool for communicating notions of truth. What the truth is to me isn't necessarily the truth to you.

But changing the status quo is impossible my friends.

Heard a novel idea in legal theory, concerning John Rawls and his notion of the 'veil of ignorance'. In it people are taught to make decisions concerning rights and what not as if they are not aware of anything - sex, race, age, species etc. It's believed that once this veil is removed, we can achieve true happiness as things will be fair, since the current notion of rights and happiness cannot be separated from those factors which the veil of ignorance hopes to negate.

With the heady stuff out of the way, I think I may get into some trite! There was a guy in some of my comm classes last year who all the females fancied. Typical jock mofo from the looks of him - 6 foot muscly, lacking fashion sense, had surfer/footy boy leanings, aloof! Anyway, one of my friends said she'd eventually get him and when I saw her this year she said she met him at a party and that they swapped numbers and she was hoping to start something. Then another friend laughed and upon further inquiry she divulged that this jock boy was a notorious playboy (well duh) and that one of her other friends was getting hot and heavy with him when he attempted to bend her over and stick his fingers up her rectum. This instantly illicited riotous fits of laughter from yours truly, and a look of shock from the first girl. Strange as it was, I should have mentioned that he was probably unaware of where the female genitals are located (and considering the number of stories that I've heard about this phenomenon, I am actually quite shocked)!

But then it dawned on me. Ridiculously attractive people who are held up on pedestals by the rest of us are somewhat isolated from general society and not treated normally. Of course I want to kick them in the face when they say it's a curse being beautiful and what not. But that's not the point I'm trying to make! My point? All insanely hot people are severely messed up in the head. This could make them dangerous to the rest of us, and we should consider the greatest happiness for the greatest number so we should shoot them. It's the only logical explanation. Then it got me thinking, who the hell would we perve on? Would society re-think beauty paradigms and new people would be received as the beautiful and would eventually become the messed up ones? Who knows?! I don't wanna find out. I like my hot women thank you very much, regardless of mental state!

Have a nice day folks.

It's these things that keep on bringing me back to you

Indeed it does. Or it could be that my assessment is over and I am off until exams (23rd and 24th)! Of course I'll have to start the hardcore studying sometime late next week, but I'll still find time to post even in the middle of my 12 hour a day study sessions. It's good to be back though let me say!

This last month was evil, the other and I have been imprisoned by uni work out of nowhere and we have worked hard to get it all done. So what have I been up to over the last few weeks?

Not a lot really...

I saw Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy and it was just a riot of a film. I haven't read the books so I didn't know what to expect, but it was still great none the less. How awesome is Marvin?! I want to get a little stuffed toy of him, he's so cute!!

Had to visit Sydney the other day for a family thingy and it was nuts. We were meant to go by train but there were mechanical faults so we had to take the bus for a bloody 4 hour drive there AND back the next day! I only took one CD with me! I swear I can play John Mayer's entire catalogue by ear now! Stayed in a 5 star hotel right on Bondi beach and it was fabulous. What is it about Sydney? Everyone is just a hell of a lot better looking! Even the sluts and hoes are a lot better looking than they are here!

I'd just like to say that my uni admin sucks. It's the worst in the world I tell you! One teacher lost my essay so I had to resubmit it and then another teacher wouldn't reply to my e-mails so I had to go and see him in order to do my oral exam! Luckily it was all taken care of in less than 20 mins today.

My father schooled me the other day. After a Wednesday in class we were driving somewhere and he was explaining something about economics and I tuned out cause I don't understand a damn thing about the subject and he asked me if I knew who a famous economist was and I didn't. So I thought I'd nail him and ask him who HLA Hart was...and he knew!!!! Ouch! Haha my mouth was actually wide open in disbelief at being schooled in such a humiliating fashion.

You know what I believe? That 1982 was the year of the hotties (just check out the rate list and see how many of them were born in that year)! And 1984 was the year of the greats. The other and I are prime examples thank you very much! George Orwell knew he was on to a good thing.

In light of that Sydney escapade I had to get a haircut and also cut my nails. My guitar work is fabulous, thank you very much! And I also look presentable to boot. But why does my hair have to look so awesome fresh out of the shower and then go back to being dodgy right after?! My hair is too short to gel or style properly! But out of the shower I look quite delish, if only there was something that could be done.

Dr Who!!! I never watched a single ep and then I saw a promo of the new series and was just totally blown away by Billie Piper! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD! Too bad she leaves after season 2!! That really sucks cause I think the show is awesome, but I don't know if I'll watch it sans Miss Piper. Here's a quick rhyme, Billie Piper Billie Piper, oh how I really like ya. Haha me so lame.

I also bought a new mobile phone in light of my old Nokia's death (RIP buddy). I've switched to an LG of some sort and I am still trying to figure out how to do everything. It's so bloody complicated! Life ain't Good, life is COMPLICATED! I thought I was with it, but kids these days sheesh, I feel like an elderly person every time I try to operate my phone, it's not cool!

I have something to admit. I'm an addict. Nope, not illicit drugs. TINY TEDDYS! The chocolate ones! Damn them to hell. I sometimes eat half a pack out of nowhere for no good reason! Damn I also feel like some right now but I shall hold off.

Parental units are leaving for a month long overseas trip in a few days. My plans are to dance around to 80's Madonna songs (Get Into The Groove is currently the fave), eat a lot, play some games, see a LOT of les femme anomaly, watch a LOT of tv programs and also exercise so I am not a total couch potato.

Not exercising is bad, because you lose some muscle tone and what's left becomes wiry and you get a lil flexible, in fact the other day I was flinging about a soccer ball and I managed to heel myself in the testicles! I didn't know it was possible!

My wisdom teeth are sprouting now and it's not cool! They hurt so much, but they aren't coming in crooked so it's all good.

How good are these Prime shows?! Lost and Desperate Housewives are just the shite I tells you! AND HOW AWESOME WAS IT TO HAVE MARLA SOKOLOFF GUEST STARRING FOR A FEW EPISODES?! OH MAN! Unfortunately she left, but damn she is HOT. Too bad that it didn't live up to expectations, there should have been a threesome with her, Eva Longoria and I! That's where the ratings are my friends.

I always have these problems with essays at university. Luckily I was doing 3 law units this semester and my journo class was a practical one. So I only had to write one essay and the rest were problem solving questions or litigant advice. But damn, plagiarism is a big issue at university and they say you should cite everything. But when you make a statement, you could NOT have possibly gotten to it without citing another book! Therefore in a 2000 word essay, I had 40 separate citations! It's ridiculous. That brings me to my next topic of semester 2's timetable!! IT SUCKS! 2 morning classes in 2 days!! AND A BLOODY 8:30 CLASS AGAIN! I would be so very pissed off if I wasn't being reunited with my old Communications buddies!

There is a college residence on campus that has a reputation for being full of party animals, and in light of recent events, I can say that those claims are factual. Why? The other and I were walking back from our weekly Oportos goodness last week and this girl was getting changed with her bloody window open on STREET level, right next to a public walkway!!! In hindsight I should have just gone up to the window and screamed "what the hell are you doing" or propositioned her! But shite, this world is insane! Well it's going to get more insane with my post for tomorrow, but for now I'm breaking here! Good day folks!

OH OH OH! Boston Legal is on now!! HOW GOOD IS IT TO SEE JAMES SPADER/ALAN SHORE BACK ON OUR SCREENS?! And Monica Potter is also on!! AND SO IS RHONA MITRA! Excuse me while I go and drool..or tape The X-Files. One or the other...hehe!
