aaaaaaaah the serenity…..not a sound…..

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

it’s raining in Melbourne. Gonna rain for the next 2 or 3 days…and i’m going camping…..

It’s blowing a cold southerly.

It’s supposed to be summer.

And i don’t fucking care if it rains all week…coz i’m NOT in the office, NOT dealing with the processes and procedures that goes with working for a LARGE bank.
I know that there’s fine weather coming and it will get nice n hot later in the week, so that will be typical of that part of the world!

And we’re going to Point Hicks, the first part of Australia discovered by Captain Cook on the good ship Endeavour in 1770.

I’ve been going there since 1983………so it’s been 25 very very interesting years, changes, tall stories and good memories.

I’ll be on a beach where i’ll be the only person for 800kms…except for my two mates (friends) of 30 years….lounging, surfing, swimming, eating, drinking and relaxing.

Aaaaaaah the serenity….not a sound……

Your job sucks.

My job oozes.

The Best Things in Life…

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

aren’t always free.

And you can’t give them to the birds and bees…coz they’ve got no thumbs.

Just remember, your best intentions and generosity mean nothing if your “charity”  is bollocks from the start.

Investigate any charity before you give your generosity away.

Delectable Collectibles

Friday, February 1st, 2008

i acquired two gems in the last few weeks from Missing Link Records….man i can’t believe how long i’ve been shopping there.

The first one is The Brit Box and the second is Punk 1977 – 2007.

The Brit Box is a little cheezy in that it has a switch on the back and it lights up these LEDs at the top of a red phone box. Nice!. And you won’t be disappointed by the collection on the 4 CDs that comprise this selection.

The Punk release is 3 CDs which has early releases, classics and rarities.

Both compilations are worth the effort in finding and are good additions to any collectors’ compilations.
