Greg Pritchard: A Very Surprising Talent

February 6th 2010 06:10
Greg Pritchard was a contestant on Britain's got talent that blew everyone away and produced a performance so left field it shocked everyone that someone that looked and acted like he did could come out and sing male soprano.

Greg Pritchard, Britain's Got Talent



By no means perfect but brilliant none the less Greg managed a standing ovation from the entire audience and has now reached his goal of being an international performer thanks to his standout performance and the success of YouTube. And anyone who can shock and confuse Simon Cowell deserves some international attention .

Big thanks to Raylee for sending me this and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Stupid Mac is Pi**ing Me Off

February 4th 2010 08:57
I have been waiting now to get my super new uber cool 27" Mac computer. This thing is astounding to look at and use and is revolutionising the desktop. My only issue is I have been waiting for over two months now for it.

27 Mac


Apple is in dire trouble with their 27" computers and thanks to the expert marketing of the company and CEO have managed to cover up their huge issue by releasing a crappy Ipad that is also encumbered with many issues.


In my opinion the release of the Ipad was a marketing/ public relations genius stroke in the fact that the majority of the world went gaga over a new IToy - they are thinking of the good while ignoring the bad.

Firstly the dramas with the Ipad:
* It does not have a USB port - are you mental, Mac? How on earth are you supposed to transfer and share files - of course (insert lightbulb here), you are supposed to get EVERYTHING from Itunes or off the web. Or connect it to your 27" Mac that is dead in the water (more on this later in the article). You can also connect it with Wifi, or Wifi 3G
* The lack of Flash support is a major issue; the iPad's big screen is designed to make the best of multimedia content and the full-screen browsing experience, but the sight of little blue squares dotted around web pages where embedded video should have been just makes you feel like you're being short-changed. This lack of Flash support has literally commenced an open hostility between Adobe and Apple CEO - Steve Jobs.
* It cannot multi task - so forget writing emails while chatting to friends online - or forget writing articles for your Orble site in WORD while researching on a web page - one or the other

I am sure there are many glamorous ideal positive things about the IPad but these lack of functions will be its demise and the IPad will soon become the dead IFad of 2010.

But the IPad was released to shine a positive light on the lack of 27" Macs on the market - Apple has stopped production due to the major issues with this piece of fine tech (in theory and ignoring the major dramas of present).

27 Inch Mac Document


Citing an anonymous source, Hardmac reported Monday that Apple has allegedly stopped assembling lines for the desktop. Supplies of the 27-inch iMac have been restricted for months as reports of screen flickering have persisted. While some have speculated the lack of availability has been due to those issues, there has been no confirmation from Apple.

All stock in Mac stores in Sydney have been recalled, and noone knows when these will be available again. Mac websites claim three week wait - but can they explain my 2 month wait?

When it launched in October, the newly redesigned iMac was the best-selling desktop machine in the U.S., with the 21.5-inch model taking the top spot. The big-screen 27-inch model came in third in overall sales. This is phenomenal - and now a lot of them are dead in the water and only working with a color change on the screen.

I spoke to a Mac repairer today who mentioned there is a color card/ screen inside the actual monitor towards the back that has a lot to do with the image control - it is quite large (my technical knowledge and explanation is probably really shite ). These are being shifted during shipment and are losing allignment. They can be repaired but Apple is halting production until a third party can be found to manufacture this item so it does not lose allignment.

I am yet to see a computer that looks as good and I will keep waiting but will have to set a deadline on this company as I need a new computer before this one dies. But seriously Mr Jobs - get your shit together because I am wanting to give you money and all you seem to want to do is show off more IToys!!

My Moobs are Becoming Pecs and I am Over One Belt Size Smaller :)

January 27th 2010 09:56
I have kind of being keeping this secret as I have a tendancy to go through fads quicker than I can a Big Mac but I am also one of the most addictive people I have ever known and my new addiction is health and fitness. I have been exercising daily since January the 2nd and am now at the stage where I get the poohs if I do not exercise every single day.

Pecs are coming


Moobs, for the uneducated, are man boobs - moobs - and mine have gone and become pecs in the last few weeks. My exercise regime and eating plan has revolutionised the way I look and live at life. I no longer wake up tired, eat a bowl of cereal, and then head into work. I now wake up 3hrs before work, drive straight to the beach and then swim 700m's in the pool. I then come home, make a big breakfast of one egg on toast, mushrooms on another slice of toast, coffee with skim milk and check my emails. I then get to work with more energy I have had in years.

When I come home every afternoon I no longer have a nanna nap on the couch for an hour or two then cook something fatty or head to KFC. I now come home, strap on the joggers and a towel in a backpack with a bottle of water and run 1.3k's to Queenscliff Pool, swim another 700m's then power walk the 3k's of entire length of Manly Beach followed by the return home, also a power walk. On every second Sunday I have now also joined a competition sailing team in Pittwater and we are kicking butt, and I am also trying to play a game of tennis every fortnight. This is sucking big time for my websites as I just want to be outdoors but it is much healthier for me and it's Jason time.

Zac Efron, Exercise Inspiration


I like my food and I like my red wine and over the years I have continued to love these things without any real exercise to properly allow myself this enjoyment. Because of my exercise I can now cook yummy meals at home while considering fat content and as opposed to a bottle of red every few nights I now have a glass of red wine while cooking my dinner.

My meals at night are now consisting of something protien. For example I am now cooking a piece of perch (fish) and having a salad of spinach leaves, baby beets, capsicum and cheese as my side. And I LOVE this food. My lunches of work used to consist of at least 3 takeaway meals every single week and make my own the other 3 days. My lunch meals are now either a wrap I make or sandwich (wholegrain) containing either tuna or chicken breast, cheese, capsicum, mushrooms and sometimes tomato. I have also gone from two sandwiches to one deleicious one. Not only is this helping me lose weight but it is saving me a fortune!

Exercise Inspiration


The good news is I am now no longer a size 34" pants - I am now back into my 32" pants and am comfortably wearing medium shirts again and feeling great about my body. My belts are all now having a previously unreachable notch as the place to buckle into. It is amazing and something I never felt possible. It is also so good for the ego and soul to have people saying to you that you look so much thinner "we can tell, you can see it in your face", "how are you doing it" etc make you feel much better than you would think. This and the exercise and some Vit D from the sun and the feelings of sand below your toes every day while walking in the salt air with hot people around is priceless.

I have certain inspiration and assistance. Firstly big thanks go to Sammy, one of my best mates who is much younger and much hotter than me who is a fitness fanatic who plays every sport imaginable and loses weight by thinking about it. He is my verbal trainer and discusses things with me when I see him. This week he is trying to get me to start clap push ups - by throwing a clap with both hands in when I reach the top of the push up. Sometimes I just think he is trying to kill me But I know he is pushing me to get the most out of me that I can. The other person is Carrie, another of my besties who is also occasionally my partner in crime and exercise partner (although she definately does not need to exercise to lose weight). She is doing similar exercises as myself and offers me much ego and soul boosting. Love you guys both so much!!

Speedo Guy - Exercise Inspiration


My other inspiration is what I see, and occasionally lust after , while exercising on the beach. There are similar photos of these people throughout this article. These are the tight bodied young people I see exercising their butts off on the beach and doing it all so naturally and looking so amazing. I see these people when doing my laps at 6am every morning or my arvo routine every afternoon and they are my goal. To look like them, fit into their community and to be as buff enough to date one of them

There is one other aspect that is very cool about all this exercise - there is an entirely different community of people out there that look after themselves physically and also mentally and challenge themselves daily. These people reap the rewards for their efforts and recently I have started getting their secret wink and welcome to this new lfestyle.

Please Swim Between the Flags - Beach Safety Awareness

January 25th 2010 09:33
There has been so much tragedy on the beach of late and it just saddens me that this can be avoided if people follow basic instructions. Swim on patrolled beaches and between the flags. It's that simple - if you are on holidays with your family or friends drive the extra 2 or 3k's to the patrolled beach or swim in a pool, a creek, a lake or whatever.

If there are no safe beaches then use common sense and stay where you can stand or better still don't swim. Have a short hose fight in the backyard or track down the local pool

Divorce Cakes

January 19th 2010 10:25
A good friend of mine is going through the hideous process of divorce, however, has managed to maintain her sense of humor and has asked a group of us to help her choose the divorce cake for her.

It does make a psychological sense that a cake be included to end the ritual that is coming to an end as the cake is used to celebrate the beggining of the union

Last Minutes with Oden: A VERY SAD Short Film

January 19th 2010 10:15
Emo friend Max (Rob Patz look alike and star of the workplace thanks to 16yr old girls all lusting after him ), sent me this short film to watch. Unlike myself, Max hardly ever cries and said this made him ball his eyes out. Well I pretty much had to shower after it and change my clothes because I was swimming in tears - it is so touching it will nearly rip your heart out.

If you have ever had to put an animal down or currently have a pet this is touching, sad and absolutely beautiful. I do recommend Kleenex but it is well worth the viewing

Angel the 18 month old dog saves her young Master - DOGS RULE

January 5th 2010 08:47
My cat hates me for this article but I thought it was very cool and first found out about it thanks to Alison - who posted a link on Facebook. This brings back memories of a Kelpie saving me from a Red Bellied Black Snake when I was younger. I was walking through very mild bushland on the way to a lake when our neighbors dog, who had been coming with us starting barking at us in front, we thought he was nuts and kept going so the dog turned around and attacked the snake - no-one except the snake got hurt and chances are one of us would have walked right ontop of it if it wasn't for that hero dog.

One of the BEST Artistry I have ever seen. MUST WATCH

January 4th 2010 08:26
Firstly a HUGE thanks to Mum (and her friend Helen) who sent me this. It was totally beautiful and divine to watch. It was so moving and powerful and the magnitude of it made me shed a tear. Astounding - people NEED to see this artist. Her art is beyond beauty and she herself could also be modelling. Amazing.

Jeff Dunham and Walter - VIDS Included

December 27th 2009 06:16
I received an email the other week showing this video of the funniest puppet and ventriloquist I have ever seen. I laughed my head off. Then I forwarded to it to the folks and then they have forwarded it onto all their friends on The South Coast which is becoming a mini phenomenon. Since then I have You Tubed numerous puppets that Jeff Dunham uses and they are all hysterical. But nothing comes close to the hilarity that comes out of Walter's mouth. This guy has me laughing non stop and I will be buying his DVD's for myself and the folks and while most of you probably already know who he is you HAVE to watch these vids. Search You Tube for more of them if you want. We watched a half an hour special on him Boxing Day morning all on You Tube.

Jeff Dunham, Walter

I will no longer be offended when people describe things as GAY

December 8th 2009 01:50
Most of my friends are of the unfortunate upbringing to be consdiered heterosexual. Shame shame shame But also a lot of my friends and work colleagues are considerably younger than myself - also a damn shame shame shame.

From their school education and socialising, upbringing and other school friends whenever something is not kosher to them it is considered "GAY". I used this myself sometimes when at school. I thought if I bagged out the GAYS then people wouldn't notice I was GAY and desperate to be with them
