So, yeah, Warped was fucking amazing.

It wasn't all roses, the weather was brutally hot and I got sunburned as shit, plus the second stage ran about 20 minutes late the entire day so I only got to see about 4 or 5 songs of Hatebreed and Parkway Drive and the sound on that stage was a bit ordinary so the heavy bands kept distorting...

Holy fuckballs yesterday was awesome fun.

By the end of the night I was so fucking wankered I couldn't even sit up.

Started drinking at 9am and didn't stop until about 3am this morning. How I'm even awake right now is beyond me.

It's fucking Friday!

Okay so technically it's only Thursday but I have tomorrow off and I'm off to the Ashes so fuck it, it's Friday.

Having a three day work week this week was the absolute tits.

Kinda steaming though. Our team leader took another management position within the company and the first thing we hear of it is a generic companywide email congratulating him...

Today is just one of those days where everything just plain sucks and I want everyone to die.

Work is shit.

And to top things off the Queensland vs New South Wales Super Rugby game in Sydney I was planning to go to next year is the same day as I'm in Adelaide for Soundwave. Out of 20-odd rounds it has to be THAT weekend....

Had some of my work featured in a writer's festival yesterday, so that's pretty cool.

It's probably not as glamorous as that makes it sound, it was only a student union type thing, but still, a university in another state that I've never been too had a writers festival that featured some of my work.

That really gave me a bit of a boost, I've...

There are so very many things in my life I’d love to be able to go back and do differently…

Not necessarily that it’d make my life better, just so I don’t have all these cunting ‘what if’ moments banging around in my head all the damn time…

So it's not quite been as frequently that I've been updating things around here that I was intending. It's been a pretty hectic few weeks lately.

Work has been nightmarish the past few weeks, people leaving people taking time off and moronic new processes being put in place that serve no identifiable purpose beyond making our jobs harder. Gotta love Bureaucracy.

Football (soccer) season has...

I need to have a quick whinge:

I have to wake up at 4:30 every weekday for the next 6 months for work thanks to the fucking moronic concept that is daylight savings.

Seriously, what is the point?

I've been to Sydney and Melbourne during summer, numerous times, and it's light out until anywhere up to 9pm! If you're going to try to save daylight...

Sounds like good times. side bar I'm going to steal  "going home with some bird." just rolls of the tongue nicely

Haha! I blame the fact I spend so much time around mates of mine that are ex-pat englishmen, I've just more or less soaked up their slang over the past few years. Still though, probably better than sounding like some wanker bogan.

I wrote this for the blog I mentioned in my last post, but I want to post it here too so people realize just what a stain of a human being this woman is:

Making news this morning was alleged comedian Jennifer Saunders star of TV comedy Absolutely Fabulous making the extraordinary claim that cancer survivors wear their suffering as a badge and revel in...
