What not to Google, Part 1

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Look at this gem my brother found on the Internet, “Colostomy Porn.”

Please don’t ask me why the fuck my brother thought this would be a good thing to look up.

Hump Da Bump, Chili Peppers Suck!

Friday, April 27th, 2007

This bloody song has been stuck in my head for the past 5 days. Please kill me. The moment the Red Hot Chili Peppers wrote these lyrics they should have thought to themselves, “Okay, we’re over. This band is finished.” But no, obviously they were having a fit of ego driven denial at the time. They probably think that it’s a good song, one of their best – bastards.

Apparently their gigs have really gone downhill as well. I have a few friends that went to their Melbourne show. He came on late, left early and said five words – none of which made sense – do I need to say more?

As they say, only the good die young – will the Chili Peppers ever die?

Lazy Bastard

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

From the lack of activity on this blog you probably know that I am a lazy bastard. Well it gets worse. I’ve always been a bit lazy, but it was not until I was introduced to World of Warcraft almost three years ago that my laziness has started to fuck up my life. I am studying professional writing and editing I should be doing a lot of reading, but I don’t – I play Warcraft instead. Sometimes I remember that I have an assignment due, but I will not have the willpower to stop playing and actually do something constructive.

I have become really good at making up excuses, I am sick, or I had a meeting, I need time to for me to go over it in my head or I have writers block – I never actually have writers block. I believe because I am in a wheelchair people are far less likely to question me. And come on – it is really low for me to use people’s ignorance of disability to my advantage in this way. Laziness affects my business as well: I make websites with my brother, well I should make websites, but generally I don’t do much.

I really feel my laziness is getting worse and it manifests in my addiction to Warcraft. Everyone tells me I am a good writer, but I never write anything. This has to stop and the only way is if I come clean. I actually tried to come clean the other day, I told my tutor that I hadn’t done my assignment because I was lazy – she laughed.

My rules are now: no Warcraft until 5pm on weekdays. I don’t believe I should give it up cold turkey because I know that just would not happen. If I give myself ridiculously strict rules I will rebel and a few days later it will be business as usual.

The Minister of Nothing

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

I finally received a response from the minister about the plight four intellectually disabled women. I was pleased to receive a “personal” letter from the minister Gavin Jennings, but as I read I was disturbed to discover the letter doesn’t actually say anything. I am no closer to finding out if the women will be able to live together. Read the letter for yourself.
