Can Pete turn her???

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,22775276-5012980,00.html?from=mostpop

The second I saw this article, I didn’t immediately think “Pete’s not going to like this”, but rather: “I wonder how Pete’s going to fix this.”  Go to it buddy, she can still be yours if you show her how much you care.  It’ll be tough at first, you’ll have to convince her that deep throating you is a better alternative than getting softly caressed my another moisty, but I know you have it in you.  

Any suggestions about how Pete can turn her??  I suggest you wine and dine her, play little mood grabbing acoustic guitar, then drop one of your famed money shots all over her boyish looking features.  If that doesn’t convince her to come back from the darkside, I’m afriad nothing will.

Photos??  Yes please.  Setup a facebook group and invite all of us. 

I don’t know

I haven’t been on the blog for a while. Not for any particular reason I don’t think. I don’t really have time to get onto it during the day at work and then when I get home I don’t really get on the computer that much. So there’s my obligatory explanation of absence however insignificant it may be but I thought I’d jump on and look over what’s been happening and post something.

Unfortunately I have now been sitting in front of a blank screen that is slowly being filled by a meaningless scribe. No direction, no meaning, just filling in space until I have something interesting to say/type. The problem is that i don’t really know where that is going to come from. I hate being around people when I’m trying to think something up because I usually find them a hinderence to unique thought and a beacon of stupidity but at the same time how can you expand thought in a confined space inside one person’s head without the stimulation of different perspectives? So you would think by that logic that the internet would be the perfect environment becuase I’m sitting here alone with no-one to bother me with access to millions of individual thoughts. In fact i’m finding it quite the opposite, it’s not very often that I find anything on the internet that is actually challenging. Very few opinions or points of few that I actually find interesting. Even fewer where people are creating something that stretches the mind.

I’m sure they are out there but they don’t get the same exposure as torrent sites or porn. Shouldn’t the net be used for a greater expression? I guess i’m just bored.

In the spirit of things, here is a line of thought that went through my head the other day -

I was walking across the bridge from South Bank to the City the other day. I always get a weird feeling walking across any bridge at height. I often look over the edge and wonder what it would be like to jump. All of a sudden my feet feel light, my stomach tenses and my head begins to float. My legs start to twitch to the point where I have to slap myself back to reality and bring my leg back over. Now I have no desire to kill myself. I’m not depressed, I don’t believe that things could get that bad that cutting the power would be the only option. But for some reason on a bridge that always goes through my mind. I get the same feeling holding a big knife. What if? What happens next? What does it mean to think like that? It’s just a curiosity, one i’m sure a lot of people have, but I don’t see a lot of discussion about what people think about.

Is there anything you think about that you find strange, wondering why you think it? I suspect you all have deeper thoughts that you don’t verbalise, however disturbing they may be.

Anyone have some to share? Maybe you would prefer not, maybe that guy anonymous can do it for you.

Just thought it would be more interesting than discussing that Google is releasing a phone (someone elase can start that thread).

pc-mac

does anyone know if I can network a mac to a pc to transfer music files?

If so how?

Laptops

One for all you gaebons out there. 

 Background:  Am in the process of deciding what laptop I’d like to buy, but have reached a wall.  Have been searching for a while now, am in a position to buy but I can’t settle myself down enough to make a choice and stick to it.  In the past month or so I have decided and re-decided on which make and model I’d like to buy, and I can’t seem to give myself any closure over the right choice.  At various times I’ve entertained a Dell (most serious), Sony and more recently, an Asus.  Am stuck, honestly can’t tell what the difference is in the specs, what the inherent benefits of each are (the stuff you DON’T read about) and ultimately, what the best model is for my purpose. 

Purpose/objective of model:  Mobility (will be a uni tool mainly).  Use will include home stuff and the like (cough*porn*cough), but I’d like it to be small enough to carry around no worries but large enough that u’d be able to comfortably spreadsheet with ease – am thinking a 14″1 or 13″3 inch screen.  Am not too worried aboout a number pad, but it would be nice (contradiction here, wide keyboard versus small and mobile – how do I reconcile??)   Could probably just get a wireless keyboard and mouse, but do you tech heads have any alternatives or suggestions???  Want it to be fast, but its performance will be limited to multiple spreadhseets and or web browsers open at any one time, meaning 2GB RAM would be well sufficient, but tell me if you think otherwise.  Want it to be quick, but it doesn’t need to be warcraft 3/itunes/online poker all going at once quick.

 Price:  Up to 2000, but willing to go a little higher if needs be.   

Aesthetics:  Minor detail, but if it could be pimpin, then I’ll be chimpin

Whatever youy guys want to suggest, I’ll listen to.  In the spirit of the blog, you could use this post to spark a wider discussion on laptops and IT in general.   Craig/Amon/Dave, on your marks, get set, go….   Pete – feel free to make jokes and tell me about your dell  

Banking

I have a really simple and yet complex question. Why if the banks are making record profits all over the world doesn’t some guy who is filthy rich but not as gready as those fuckers under cut them and charge less for the service like in most other industries??

This may be really odvious to some of you but I am interested. Maybe The Bank of Ontweeb?

Head

Gentlemen I am after some honest options from you on a not so delicate issue. After Enjoying the good life for many years, as Al I am sure will explain, I am in an unfortunate position. The last three girls that I have graced with my manly presence have not swallowed the sausage, so to speak. This run is starting to disturb me a little and I am wondering if people believe there is a karma for sex and that my blow-job credits are now all out??? Or is this simply how life is and I have been lucky to this point?

When terrorism gets easy….

Between the chaser and this:

“The Story of a Bent Spear”
A B-52H bomber flew across the country with 12 cruise missiles, six of which were armed with nuclear warheads. It took the Air Force 36 hours to realize that the warheads were outside their secure bunker”

…terrorism has never been easier. Seriously though, if Sydney’s $300 million security network was breached by a sort of official looking motorcade without much else (indeed, for those of you who saw it the evidence it was fraudulent was obvious), and if nuclear weapons are as accessible as this washington post article would have you believe, the would-be terrorists wouldn’t have to look far for an arsenal.

Having said that, we don’t see mushroom clouds (at least the scary, face melting variety) and we don’t see APEC (or its it OPEC?) leaders in mortal danger. This could be saying alot about other preventative measures (such as border control, immigration) etc, but for me the balance of probabilities seems to indicate that the actual threat doesn’t match the hype. Are we really in a significant amount of danger?? Never thoguht it, and I’m not saying incidents like this prove it, but they certainly don’t contradict it.

Thoughts?? Perhaps our worldy brothers (in arms?) could enlighten us as to their own sesne of fears in this extremist age we live in.

Ref bashing…

Below is the unedited version of Darko Milicic’s post match interview at the current European Championships.

We’ve all had our moments ref wise (I’m looking at you Woulfe), but this surpasses anything any of us are capable of.

Think Darko had a few too mnay blondes before the game – he definitely was high on himself if nothing else.  Enjoy

Reporter: Darko, first impressions?
Darko: All right, but let’s do it over there…
R: Darko Milicic, congratulations despite the loss. First impressions?
D: Nothing, these three big shitheads, these two..three pussies have cheated us, that’s what happened. This pussy, these three shitheads think they are something. I will go and fuck their mothers’ pussy — all three of them, that’s what I’m gonna (????)…pussies all three of them, I’m gonna fuck his italian mother in her pussy, man, that’s what I want to say…
R: Darko, calm down a little bit, your impressions of the game?
D: He’s a shithead, he should suck my dick, go on..write that, man…all three of them, the first one and the second one and the third one…I don’t give a damn about this, that’s what I want to say
R: ???
D: Pussies..they don’t call anything…he shit in his pants…I will fuck his mother in the mouth, man…if he has a daughter, I will also fuck his daughter
R: ???
D: ???….we are fighting here, I died…I need an infusion, do you understand…and they cheat us like shit…

JPOD

I just finished reading this book by douglass coupland. It was really good. Very different read, black humour with a dash of techno bable. I esp recomend this to Craig as it is about some techno gebons (that is in fact a compliment).

Wasn’t Amon at the Notting Hill Festival Too?
