The Benefits of Being Single

Although I am in a steady relationship with a guy who I absolutely adore, I sometimes miss the benefits of being a single girl while it's great to have someone who I can cuddle, kiss and spoon with, there is just something about being single which spells freedom to me.

I will now list why sometimes I feel it's better to be single:

Being able to chat to guys/ girls without worrying that your boyfriend or girlfriend is going to be jealous
Perving on that hot hunk/girl on the beach without the guilt
Being able to go out with friends with worrying that your boyfriend or girlfriend is going to ring you

That warm, fuzzy feeling you get when your crush actually smiles at you
You don't have to put up with pressure from his/ her friends to have sex with boyfriend or girlfriend (That is something I hate, it's another form of bullying in my opinion)
You don't have the constant worrying about whether he/she trusts you.
More time to spend with other friends and your family.

I am sure I could go and on about the relative benefits of being single and boy, sometimes I wish I could go back to my school days where I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend because it'd affect my school work (according to my parents) because somehow being a young teenager seemed a lot more fun then being an adult with a boyfriend.

Gimme some of that FREEDOM! LOL!

Has State of Origin lost it's magic?

I sat down to watch and listen to the third State of Origin rugby league match last night and I got to say that while it was a fantastic game, I haven't been captivated by the aura of Origin like I have been when the likes of Harragon, Daley and Ettinghausen took the field for NSW and Meninga (the now Queensland coach) Allan Langer and Gorden Tallis did the same for Queensland, being a massive Blues supporter, there was someone in the Queensland side I hated and wanted the NSW boys to belt but for the last couple of years I haven't felt that way, there was no one in that Queensland side that I really hated all that much, is there anyone else who felt the same way when they watched the game last night.

Also I think maybe some of the magic of State of Origin has disappeared, I used remember singing along, as an Origin coverage began, to Queen's "We will rock you" as footage of previous Origin matches were shown eg: Wally Lewis and Mark Geyer having a bit to say to each other one night and some of the big fights that occurred etc and looking forward to seeing another fight during the game (Admittedly that's what I always watch Origin for...the all in brawls) but in the last couple of years I haven't felt any sort of magic surrounding State of Origin.
Is there anyone else who has watched this year's series and felt the same way, I just want to know I am not the only one who felt a little indifferent toward either NSW or Queensland.

Anyway tata cyaz

Avril's new album probaby The Worst Damn Album I have listened to this year

I spent a lot of last night listening to albums that I have bought and haven't had the chance to listen to or haven't listened to in a while and I have to admit there was one album that really disappointed me in all of the albuma I listened to. I listened to Time On Earth by Crowded House, My December by Kelly Clarkson, The Best Damn Thing by Avril Lavigne, Dream Days at the Hotel Existence by Powderfinger and Won't Be Soon Before Long by Maroon 5.

The new Crowded House album was what I expected it to be, quite dark and strangely beautiful. The track Even A Child is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head, it is extremely catchy. Neil Finn's voice continues to amaze me. I have no doubt that Time On Earth will debut at No 1 on the ARIA charts next week

Powderfinger's new album is a definite contender for Album of the Year at the ARIA Awards later this year. I can't name a memorable song from it because they are all memorable in some way, Dream Days goes a long way to ensuring Powderfinger are remembered as one of the best bands to ever come out of Australia.

Maroon 5's second album is definitely a little better then their first, the second album sprouts a brand new direction from Adam Levine and the band. Won't Be Soon Before Long sees the band take on an eighties electronic rock sound that is very different to the first album, Songs About Jane (which to be honest I thought was a little boring in some ways). It's probably not going to make it to any top 10 album of the year list but there are definitely songs that will stick in your head.

My December is Kelly Clarkson's third album and really could equal as a bit of a disappointment because it is really more of the same as Clarkson's second album Breakaway. The first single Never Again desperately tries to be the third album's Since You've Been Gone but unfortunately it hasn't quite worked. Ultimately I believe there are only one or two songs that really had my hair standing on end

Now out of all the albums I listened to last night, it was Avril Lavigne's latest album which really disappointed me. All the songs seemed to run together and it really seemed that instead of going forward, Avril is going somewhat backward, a lot of the songs are childish, I needed a panadol. The best song on the album would easily have to be the second single When You're Gone with Runaway a distant second. I knbw Avril wanted her third album to be fun but let me tell you, I did not have fun listening to this album at all.

So what albums have you listened so far this year that you have either enjoyed or thought was a bit of a rank disappointment and not what you were expecting it to be.
