It's Nearly Time

Well not long now. In just over a month I'll be on my way to my next big adventure, namely Canada.

I haven't been getting nervous or over excited yet, as I still need to concentrate on working to get my funds up. Every so often though I like to sit back and relax an let my mind wander to the countless possibilities and adventure that is waiting for me over there.

When I hear this song I'm in awe every listen, even though I've heard it a million times. 

This is my travel song, and now I'd like to share it with you :)

A Letter To Producers Of Australian TV Shows

Dear Australian television industry,

As much as enjoy some of random nuggets of watchable material on the ABC and SBS (mainly documentaries and news programs) I am having an issue with the other 95% of  'entertainment' you are allowing to be programmed to the masses.

Now I understand that the Australian dollar is quite high at the moment (thanks mining industry for taking all our profits offshore) but I beg you, no more shows being shot on location overseas for no reason.
Apart from all being absolute dross, the worst part is all these presenters do the same thing......

• Walk around famous landmarks and places where the masses congregate.
• Approach locals and crap on about Australia and tell them about "how much you guys love our accent"
• Generally just be ignorant, arrogant fucks and bang on about how "one of our dollars could buy half your country lol"

Seriously, we do not need to see Hamish and Andy cracking onto American girls armed with just their accent and some shitty stories about drop bears and how they ride emus to work.

PLEASE STOP

We have enough bogan, ignorant, arrogant wankers flying the Aussie flag abroad without you dickheads giving them a big wad of cash to flash around and generally embarrass us all.

Yours sincerely,

To The Australia Day Hypocrite

Don't You Just Hate That???

Drinking. Sure it seems all cute and innocent, but it sneaks up on you. The line between extreme merriment, quick humour and wit and rambling, slurring and making a dick of yourself is usually pretty thin.

As is the case with an all day drinking session (and a heart breaking extra time grand final loss) the line of douchedom is usually stumbled over in the short span of one or two drinks and a piss break. 

It amazes me how one drink can tip you over the edge of self control and be the difference between having a hang over full of good memories or apologies.

The ability to know when to call it quits is still something I'm yet to master...

In the meantime though, here's an innocuous graph.........

DnB

Damn the man that got me into Drum and Bass

It's a whole other world, one where I can spend hours (usually late at night after a night out) listening to tunes, following the creators, listening to a dozen mixes of the same song to see what the DJ has done with it, and love every minute of it. Hook line and sinker..........

Also, why are chicks at drum and bass shows so hot????????????

A few of my current faves (will change in a few weeks I'm sure) :
