Is maturity old age? Why is that one day you are playing footy, binge drinking, moshing and dismantling police cars often in the same hour and then one day everything changes. Footy becomes something associated with your remote control flatron television,(God forbid you get your shirt dirty) moshing is something that protesters do on prime time news (God forbid that you get your shirt torn) and the only thing you have dismantled in the day is a broken tap handle (oh shit I got grease on my shirt).
Its funny how your tastes change when you get older. You go from having twisties for breakfast (this is what children eat apparently, as i saw a mother give this to a child one morning and say so - what is this country's problem with food. I'm sorry but counter lunches are not 'going out' in my language and who gives a toss about baked dinners its a cheap lump of pot roast and a bunch of things from a box. This country has never learnt to eat. No wonder McDonalds is called a 'resteraunt' and 80% of the population is either Calista Flockhart or a Sumo Wrestler).
Anyway, back to tastes. Snorky's mother taught me that as you get older you get more critical and you raise your standards for your quality of life. Time is precious and you are less able to tolerate junk in your life. Junky people, junky entertainment, junky experiences. Of course she was right, which was unfortunate because I am a critical person to begin with.
Once Coke™ was it. Sugar was sweet and so were you. Now, coke is an oral acid bat, sugar is calories and you are an ignorant self centred heartless worthless excuse for a human being. Or at least i'm told.
Remeber the first time you tasted beer? That bitter sedimentary fluid grating down the back of your thorax? Or how about wine? That sour arid blanket of barb. For those that have matured these tastes are increasingly handsome. Maturity is a polarity. A growth. For example sweetness is stupid. It's a sensation brought from the front of your tongue. Its simple and requires no appreciation. However to enjoy a somewhat more bitter experience one must enhance their method and accumulate the understanding of taste. This sensation is at the back of the tongue and requires a more experienced palette. But unfortunately as we find the finer things we also lose something. We begin to watch life rather than experience it.
Instead of feeling the wind tearing past your face at full cry and the virile high of recieving a body blow to the gut as you come crashing down to the clay earth field. You find yourself bored because nobody can make a break so you turn it over to lifestyle instead.
I guess maturity is a great thing. It is important to grasp the finer things as it adds to your life. But its also important to let a pack of 300 lb bogans stomp on your back while you are trying to get up. In other words you should keep the excitement of life that only immaturity can give you.
Now where the hell did I put that remote control........

For anyone who wants to keep updated on Australian political issues from the Prime Minister himself browse to John Howards Personal Blog.
Yet another talented blogger. I think this needs to on my recommended list.
Enjoy!

I'm fucking crying.... tears of joy they are.... go here.... and cry with me..!
Don't be too concerned.. it's all crap. Same as the Ninja website (www.realultimatepower.net). It's all completely fabricated. Don't believe the website owners are serious for a second. They are just racking up the hits. Just sit back and enjoy the humor. I wouldn't be supprised if they are writing their own hate mail.... classics!
Those guys are genuises.
[wipes tear from eye]
Ciao for now.

Found a cool online comic called Her!. Not too shabby at all. Check it out.
Oh and I forgot to tell everyone that I picked up some bargain action figures at my local EB last weekend. Got two characters from the anime "Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files":
Yusuke
Kurama
They were AU$10 each. Yipee! Top quality too!
The images above may stop working in the future because they are linked to an external site, so don't think less of me if they end up broken :)

Apart from me arguing with myself on my brand spankers message board, i've been doing some more exploring.
For most of this morning i've been here. Her name is Eden and i'm starting to dig her. Mainly for that fact that she doesn't use pink on her site. But also because she has some shit to say (mostly in her older blogs). I just thought she deserved a mention since i'm about to rack some shtuff from her blog:
<--- Begin Stolen Text ---->
Andy Richter, the former co-host of Late Night With Conan O'Brien, has gone on to act in countless movies and TV shows.
The Onion: Is there a God?
Andy Richter: I don't think so. I don't know. I don't think about it much, because I figure, what's the point? I don't know if it's agnosticism. There are things that are beyond our comprehension, so why bother? That's sort of my spiritual feelings. I feel like there might be some design. You can't think, like, "Well, how did everything get here?" I don't know. That's how it is. "I don't know, next, now what's for lunch?" When you pray, I don't think anyone's listening. Besides other people, I don't think anyone cares if you murder people or masturbate or shove things up your butt. I don't think there's anybody sitting in the sky watching you. You're on your own. All you have is other people around you, and how you treat them. I actually think that not having a focus on God would make life better, because there would be more of an imperative to be nice to each other. There would be no more brand-name wars over stuff, and pointless arguments over east side/west side, go-fight-win. But I don't know. People have got to worry about something, and there's obviously some kind of anthropological, almost zoological need. This particular animal does this particular thing. Instead of constructing a hive out of paper that they chew up, they create a God. It's just something that they do.

Until this summer, Bill Maher was host of the ABC late-night talk show Politically Incorrect.
The Onion: Is there a God?
Bill Maher: I think there is. We did a show last night about God and religion with Dave Foley, who I love, and we were arguing against this one woman who had a book called I Like Being Catholic. Someone said, "Oh, boy, a lot of atheists on this panel." I said, "I'm not an atheist. There's a really big difference between an atheist and someone who just doesn't believe in religion. Religion to me is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need. But I'm not an atheist, no." I believe there's some force. If you want to call it God... I don't believe God is a single parent who writes books. I think that the people who think God wrote a book called The Bible are just childish. Religion is so childish. What they're fighting about in the Middle East, it's so childish. These myths, these silly little stories that they believe in fundamentally, that they take over this little space in Jerusalem where one guy flew up to heaven—no, no, this guy performed a sacrifice here a thousand million years ago. It's like, "Who cares? What does that have to do with spirituality, where you're really trying to get, as a human being and as a soul moving in the universe?" But I do believe in a God, yes.
--
Eden: Very interesting. At least I think so. I have to go with Andy on this one though, I think.
<--- End Stolen Text ---->
(original source: The Onion)
So what have I got to say, well I agree with Eden agreeing with Andy because I also tend to agree with Andy.
If Eden keeps the goods coming she may earn herself a permanent link on my recommended list.

As you do when you are crusing around on the Internet, I stumbled across another blogger. Not hard to do these days I know considering there is a new blog published nearly every second. However, the blogger I found embodies what it is to be a blogger. Something which i'll never achieve because i'm a leech that can only live, through other peoples successes. Well that and my poor grasp of the english language. Enough.. get to the point.. ok here's the place z00t.
So, why do I bring this up? Well like him I like to give credit where credit is due and today I bestow that honor upon him. I credit him with this quiz he posted on his site, "What sign of affection are you?". Well who wouldn't want to know that! I just love doing these personality quizzes (is that how you spell it? eh). I actually think they are going to tell me something about myself. If anything they cause me more grief as all of the sudden I have a standard I have to live up to. Well my friends, below is my standard:
I'll try my best. I usually feel that what ever people tell me about myself is diametrically opposed to what I think of myself just because i'd like to think i'm a little unpredictable. Regardless, I tend to be how people see me. But, I must say, the result above leaves a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside me. If someone could've predicted that, then more power to you. Strangely enough, the guy from z00t.org got the same result. I've found that I have some things in common with him so i've decided to give him a permanent link on my recommended list.

I saw "The Transporter" on the weekend. I was going to go with Orazzio, but he was a slacker and wouldn't answer his phone. So the divorce papers are in the mail!
Anyway, I now know that I need three things to live a happy life. A black BMW, black leather driving gloves and a beautiful asian that can cook. What can I say, I enjoyed the movie. It's kind of like Ransom meets XXX with a dash of Ronan. I really dig the chick in it, Shu Qi. But if you are thinking of doing a search for her on Google you may want to try Hsu Chi (or Shu Kei). Not sure why she has so many names but I find it quite common with asian actor trying to break it in the western world. Either way, anyone out there from an asian nation that hasn't banned porn may remember seeing her completely naked somewhere. Well this is, strangely enough, because she used to pose nude for various asian mens magazines. I first saw her in Jackie Chan's movie "Georgeous", and she was. Even more, now that i've seen her naked. There's just something beautiful about the female form and that is why I like to look. Besides, she has a great body.
Lately, i've had this thing for asian women. They are so smooth, great skin, intelligent and age well. What's not to like! Eh... I remember discussing this topic with Orazzio once and I think we both agreed that asian women were good, indian women were good, black women were good and we can't forget about the skandinavians. To summerise, the best woman in the world would be black-asian with indian and skandinavian heritage. Oooh yeah.
Does that make me sound like a typical male? I hope not. If so, then that's just how it has to be. I only speak the truth on how I feel and everyone knows i'm right. But essentially Orazzio and myself concluded that most women are great except for the ones in our direct community.
You see, we repect a woman that thinks and likes to think yet doesn't let that rule her or define who she is. A woman that is secure enough to do things by herself and not feel the need to be with her significant other but also want to be with that same person as you would a best friend. Someone who you can share an implicit trust with and most importantly, laugh with. I believe humor, for me, is the glue that holds relationships together. Seriously, if you can't laugh together then why bother.
Of cause, what I ask for is extremely rare and probably not something that most women would expect from me. The search is on, I shall report the fruits of my labour to this blog.
I hope some of this made sense. I've got a killer headache and i'm starving but can't be bothered making dinner.. I should make dinner... Yeah I think I'll attempt it now.
Wish me luck.
