What is going on in the world today?
So many people are doing things that really you can not help but just shake your head at and wonder what the hell is going on.
Two instances in the past week alone spring to mind instantly.
The father (and maybe mother) who after being sacked from his job and being told he "should of blown his brains out" - going home and doing just that but also killing his family in the process and this week in Melbourne, a father has thrown his 4 year old daughter off a bridge, she died.
I am lost for words. I really am. When I first thought about writing this blog I thought well I'll have loads to say on it but writing it now words are failing me. Trying to understand why or how you could do this I just don't know. I guess we will never know. Unless you are driven to that point of utter desperation that will drive you to kill your family or murder a child. I don't know what thoughts must of been going through either of these men's heads.
Here are some phone numbers of places who can help if you feel you have no where to go:
Salvation Army - 13 72 58 (Australia)
Lifeline Australia - 13 11 14
Financial Counseling - 1800 808 488
Talk to friends, talk to anyone.
A family is dead another broken.
The biggest asset we have as human beings are our ears, it's amazing what help you can do just by listening.
Thank you for reading.
There is a light, somewhere
I found this on the Daily Telegraph (from The Daily Mail (UK) ) and I had my whole office pi**in' themselves laughing today...
"HERE are the top 50 dumb blonde jokes cracked by Hollywood's hottest actors and socialites, complied by The Sun newspaper in London.
1) Paris Hilton talking to press about the US chain store: "Wal-Mart... do they like make walls there?"
Paris
2) Jessica Simpson on NewleyWeds: “Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken by the Sea.'
3) Alicia Silverstone on her role in Clueless: "I think that the film was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."
4) Chantelle Houghton when Big Brother said she had changed since becoming a celebrity: “I've changed? What do you mean... I've changed my clothes?"
5) Jodie Marsh in a recent interview: "Eskimos are uncivilised because they don't have any shops."
6) Paris Hilton on her technique on the red carpet: "I don't really think, I just walk."
7) Jessica Simpson on her first day at high school: "A teacher asked us if anybody knew the names of the continents. I was sooo excited. I was like, Damn it! It's my first day of 7th grade, I'm in junior high and I know this answer. So I raised my hand, I was the first one, and I said A-E-I-O-U!"
Jessica
8) Goldie Horn on her favourite types of films: "Comedy is funny".
9) Sam Fox on fitness clothes: "I’ve got 10 pairs of training shoes - one for every day of the week."
10) Britney Spears on her taste in clothes: "So many people have asked me how I could possibly be a role model and dress like a tramp and get implants... all I have to say is that self-esteem is how you look at yourself and I feel good enough about myself so wear that kind of clothing... the breast implant issue has nothing to do with that..."
11) BB's Helen Adam’s on education: "The worst thing is when the press call me a dizzy blonde - I got a B in Drama, a D in English, I did a hairdressing course and a beauty certificate."
12) Lady Victoria Hervey on the homeless: "It's so bad being homeless in winter. They should go somewhere warm like the Caribbean where they can eat fresh fish all day."
13) Britney on Japan "I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don't like eating fish. And I know that's very popular out there in Africa."
14) Jessica Simpson when offered buffalo wings: "Sorry I don't eat buffalo."

22) Alicia Douvall on motherhood: "I think a 16-year-old with a nice, sexy figure will do really well as a model as long as she's managed well. That's why I'm happy for Georgia to have a boob job because it will give her a career."
23) Chantelle Houghton on hearing George Galloway was an MP: "Does that mean you work in that big room with the green seats?"
24) Britney on capital punishment: "I am for the death penalty. Who commits terrible acts must get a fitting punishment. That way he learns the lesson for the next time."
25) BB2's Helen Adams on pulses: "How much chicken is there in chick peas?"
26) Chanelle Hayes on her Posh spice obsession: “I like what she (Victoria Beckham) wears. That's what magazines are all about - there's always a picture of a celebrity and where to buy a replica of what they're wearing. It's not as if I'm doing anything weird.”

My top 10 songs of all time!
Now we all have those songs of the moment. This list isn't one of those. This list is of those songs that you listen to are you just can not get enough. The songs that you know if you listened to it in 20 years time you will love it just as much as you did the first time you heard it. There are some obscure ones in here though, but they are the kinds of songs that I can put on repeat for a whole 2 hour driving trip and still love it at the end.
Not in any order:
1. City of Angels - The Distillers. I just love how this song sounds, Brody Dalle's (then Armstrong) voice, the guitars and the chorus. It's a short song, or if you compare it to most Distillers songs it is actually quite long.
2. Spanish Bombs - The Clash. I love The Clash. Almost every song off of London Calling is great. But this one is just so catchy! I love how it has the Spanish in it to.
3. Who's gonna save us? - The Living End. To me this is a good summery driving song. Good to sing along to but then all Living End songs are!
4. Famous Last Words - My Chemical Romance. Yes I have an "EMO" song on my list! This is a very under-rated song in my eyes. With a chorus of "I am not afraid to keep on living" how can you not like this song. Good song.
5. What I've Done - Linkin Park. I love Linkin Park. Have right from the start but this song for me is something different. Chester doesn't scream in it instead he sings. I want to get part of the lyrics tattooed to. Everything on the song just works for me. The lyrics, the music everything.
6. Bridge over troubled water - Simon and Garfunkel. A slow song. A classic. A bloody good song.
7. How far we've come - Matchbox 20. This one is a relevant song I think. To this day and age. As humans we have evolved so much but how far have we really come. Just the title on its own is enough to open debates!
8. Liv it up - Mental as Anything. Whenever I feel slightly down I always listen to this song.
9. Crystal Ball - Pink. The newest one to the list but there is just something about this song. It's so simple. Not in a dumb sense but in a there is only her and a guitar and the words just all work so well together.
10. The Longest Time - Billy Joel. Again this is a classic. No instruments. Just Billy Joel and backing singers. Brilliant. They don't make song like this anymore.
I was reading the paper and saw this story:
"A DIMWIT copped her fair share of cross words when she called the German equivalent of triple-0 - to ask for the answer to five down.

I drive to work every day, Monday to Friday (sometimes Saturday) and have done for the past 3 years. In those three years the level of driving ability and respect for other drivers has decreased to a point now where I've noticed the following:

I will start this by saying I am not a fan of this show. I tried to watch it once and then, like Desperate Housewives, I gave it a second go and still came to the conclusion. I don't understand why people love this show!
I found nothing appealing about watching 4 middle aged women drinking coffee and having sex then bragging about it to each other. In terms of fashion etc I can kind of understand it. I did try to give it a go. Most of my friends love this show and were so excited about the DVD Box set when it came out in the shoe box. Clever idea that though.

Having watched channel nine all day I felt I needed to say something.
I know Breast Cancer is a horrible horrible disease and I feel for anyone who is experiencing or has a loved one going through having breast cancer

There are lists like this everywhere, who are the hottest guys on the planet? The hot list of 2008 etc etc... Bah! Everyone has their own views on who is "hot" in their eyes. Here are mine!
1) Richard Armitage - Yes, I am infatuated with Richard Armitage. Star of North and South (Mr Thornton.. mmmmmmm), Robin Hood and the new agent in Spooks series 7. He is just yummy, with such a smooth voice, sly grin. Hot
