What I really fucking hate… insomnia…
I hate it when I am dead fucking tired, and pissed out of my brain but I still cant get to fucking sleep…
Thats the big thing that I really really fucking hate… especially when I know that I am waking up at 6am and I have to be up at 7 to start getting ready for work.
Fuck insomnia sucks massive big dogs balls…
Spammers are constantly trying to sign up on here so that they can spam my blog with bullshit comments about viagra and crap.

I am now running linux on my home computer… quite successfully as well I must say… but there is just one small problem I have discovered.
Linux recognises the dual monitor setup… and might even recognise the triple monitor setup, but getting it to work so that each display is it’s own display is a right royal pain.
Ohhh well… looks like in the near future, I will go back to a dual head setup and get in a couple of 24″ monitors and another Geforce 9800 video card… just coz I can 
I was discussing the topic of maturity in singers today with one of my work colleagues.
We started off discussing Madonna… and how she is working hard at trying to maintain the sort of body that she had back when she was at the true height of her career… the 1980’s. She is first and foremost, in my mind, a dancer… and she is trying hard to maintain her body to be at the same level as when she was young and fit back in the early 80’s.
Then we started talking about Deborah Harry… better known as the face of Blondie. And she is, for her age, maturing a lot better than Madonna. At 64 years old, Deborah Harry has a maturity to herself and to her voice that Madonna will never have.
Harry, I first listened to in the late 70’s when she still looked like the playboy bunny she was, has a voice that matured and has grown with her and is still as awesome now as it was back in the 70’s and 80’s when she was at the height of her youth and power.
Deborah Harry still has the sort of voice that mesmerises
Harry is backed by a band… she moves to the music of the song she is singing… and she has the talent to make it seem that she is only singing to you and you alone.
Madonna is still trying to maintain the image that she had when she was a 20 year old dance who could sing a bit… she doesnt have a lot of talent, but she had a body that a lot of people could dream about and she has played up to it for most of the last 30 years… but her talent hasnt matured with her age and she is trying to compensate by trying to maintain the sort of body she had 30 years ago…
Blondie… Deborah Harry has matured… she knows she isnt young anymore and but she also knows that she still has talent. Her song ‘Maria’ is a show case… her voice sells the song and her voice is better now than it was back in 1980. It has a maturity that is timeless. It has talent behind it from a pure vocalist and… while I am showing my age now… she still gets me hard with just her voice which is something that Madonna just cant do.
When it all comes down to it… Madonna is trying to hard to maintain her talent… while Deborah Harry is still just cruising along and hasnt changed a thing…
Blondie… talent…
Madonna… try hard…
Long live Blondie… as it always will be 
It’s really funny being in the UK for yet another Australia day knowing that back at home in Oz, all my friends will be out watching the fireworks down on the Swan River as I am sitting here in work. It’s even more fun going to the Australian theme pubs here in the UK and drinking aussie beers, eating aussie foods (I hope) and signing aussie songs with a few fellow Australian’s and an even bigger crowd of poms who are just there because it’s a cheap night out with the aussies.Tonight, I am off into the centre of Manchester to go to the Walkabout Inn (an aussie theme pub) and hopefully meet up with a bunch of my fellow antipodeans and get hammered… in true Australian fashion.To all the aussies back home… it’s our day so Go Hard and Go home have a good one
Sunday 20th December 2009… Rock and Roll struck back against the years of mediocre sterile media pop musik forced on us by shows like x-factor and pop-idol and rockstar.
Thanks to a groundswell by grass roots fans on Facebook and Twitter, Simon Cowell and his x-factor manufactured pop stars no longer have the monopoly on the xmas #1 song. 950,000 people on Facebook voiced their dis-satisfaction with the usual state of play in the music world and voted with their wallets by making Rage Against The Machine’s song ‘Killing In The Name Of’ the 2009 Christmas number 1.
Joe whatever his name is still sold a respectable number of singles in the week leading up to the 20th but the Facebook groundswell took Killing In The Name Of to over 500,000 singles sold.
It was an awesome display of people power and was supported by a large number of celebrities world wide, including it turns out a previous winner of x-factor.
Some people are probably going around cursing our names (if they knew us all) for denying Joe a #1 debut single… but hey… he can be happy with a #2 for xmas.
Now we need to get behind the ground swell to remove these tv reality show blights from our screens so we can get back to normal service.
This year is something special…
It’s a war…
Real music versus bullshit music…
At the moment the race is being won by Real Music in the form of Rage against the Machine’s track ‘Killing in the Name’. It’s a strange war but it is being waged against the bullshit crap from xfactor and all the other bullshit shows which are just there to make money for Simon Cowell.
It’s an insult to our intelligence that these pretty kids, that Simon finds and puts out in front of a dumb arsed public who believe that these stupid dicks have talent, will have a music career that is measured in terms of a year or two or until the next x-factor show comes to your television and the latest and greatest talentless freak gets put out as the next musical saviour.
Fuck that… get off your arses and support real music and real artists who have done the hard work and are really making it big out there in the world of music.
Don’t buy ‘The Climb’ by that latest little twerp who won ex-factor… buy some real music and support the real music industry.
having problems getting to sleep… going through the 2 bottles of wine mark soon, and I am slightly tired and somewhat drunk…
The biatch of it is that I have to be up for work in about 4-5 hours…
Ohhh well… hangover tomorrow afternoon after I have sober’d up…
And before you start thinking sexually frustrated, I’m not…
I broke my arm on the 3rd of November and I dont have it in a cast and they just put it into a sling and told me to take it easy and not to do any heavy lifting or anything like that. The lifting part is a definite no no as I have an aversion to lots of pain and as soon as I pick up something too heavy, my arm tells me about through the use of a lot of pain… so I dont do that any more. And I dont have to wear the sling all the time or at least until the arm starts aching, which it does a lot for some reason…maybe it’s broken or something stupid like that.
What is also frustrating me the most is the fact that I sleep on my side… with my hands tucked up near my head and it involves a bent elbow… which in the long run causes a lot of pain. So I wake up in the morning in agony with my arm telling me that it’s in a whole world of trouble and that I should do something about it… which causes more pain as I work out the kinks in it.
Then there is the whole shower thing. Drying your back with a broken arm that isnt in a cast is sheer agony… so I try and get it done asap. Still hurts a fair bit though.
Now you know why I am frustrated…
Heya,
I have moved my hosting provider now and this is on the new site. The guys at homepageuniverse have been excellent in getting my sites up and running. But now I am on my own trying to get things happening.
I am still trying to work out how to import all my old comments into here so that I have all my old stuff. If that doesnt happen, then it wont be a huge loss really as it was time to start again from scratch.
If you are an old visitor, then glad to have you back and if you are a new visitor, have a good day checking me out.
