Ice Creams [A Taste Of Summer]

•December 27, 2010 • 2 Comments

Yup, nothing beats a good old ice-cream or block in the summer – too bad rest of the world, but here in New Zealand, may I suggest you try the ‘Mint Trumpet’ or/and the tasty ‘Memphis-Meltdown-Raspberry-Marshmallow-Rocky-Road’ *drooooolz*

Memphis Meltdown Rocky Road is a chocolate ice cream rippled with raspberry jelly, dipped in pink marshmallow, and smothered in choc, nuts and coconut – on a stick!

Tip Top produced what is believed to be the world’s first novelty ice cream wrapped in marshmallow! And it tastes great. Reminds me of a Jelly Tip only it’s not… It’s better!

Actually, I might kick it old skool next time and get a scoop in a cone. …I’m off to get more milk now ‘hint hint’ 😉

X-Marks The Spot

So cool I want to touch it and get a photo taken and maybe lick one of them… maybe…

I want to believe.

Ok I believe. Somewhere in Ottawa, Canada. Would have been extra awesome if this was in Maryland. I just remembered that my friend’s mother is in the ninth season of X-Files. Isn’t that great? If I recall, she played a supersoldier with non-human abilities. Yup.

More X-Files related incidents momentarily folks, I just have to debug the place first; ‘they’ are listening.

Self-consciousness or a Philosophical State of Self-awareness? [F]

•December 26, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I originally started blogging on MySpace with theories and rants about the big picture and philosophical thoughts in relation to human interaction. Some good discussions were had, even if they were only ever between three people.

Have you ever stepped back and looked at yourself for a moment and seen the type of person you are, or rather, the life you’re living, and seeing this makes you smile because you realize you’re standing on the right stepping stone to be potentially awesome?! But at the same time, the person you are seen as to your friends and others, isn’t the type of person you want to be known as, or want to be?

That’s a thought that has been running through my mind lately. Thinking you’re a good person but knowing you’re not the best you can be. I was going to ask if this was normal, but I know for a fact it is. What I would like to know, is whether part of our personality is something we have ultimate control over and can change on our own in our own time, or whether there is an outsourced factor, like other people and the company we keep and life experiences, that is what shapes us?

Depression and sadness isn’t the mood I want at all by writing this by the way; I’m feeling super great but I do tend to write my headcase-thoughts out of me from time to time. Feel free to comment or just muse over yourself.

…Maybe this is what feeling old feels like?

Grace Jones sings “Little Drummer Boy” to Pee Wee Herman

All you kids today lapping up the uniqueness of soul-sellers like Lady Gaga and the like, have no idea about who and how awesome Grace Jones is! I’d sing to her. Grace makes Gaga look like Hayley Westenra.

Ah Bless Paul Reubens for having the most awesomely weird kid’s show ever to hit the small screen:

Grace Jones is the only woman I consider to be really cool, surprisingly surreal and just a little bit scary all at the same time. I like her. She dances like the Diva from the Fifth Element… or is it the other way around? HA!

Boxing Day Roundabouts [F]

•December 26, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I’m a good patient driver, but man, I found myself on the brink of flipping-out when waiting for an opening at an Albany roundabout. Stupid drivers doing stupid things on the road just for a parking space, sheesh, some people have no idea how ridiculous and dangerous their driving can be. All it takes is one fatal news story. Oh well, it’s a miracle there were no accidents; I guess everyone was just hyper alert today than normal.

Being the 26th of December, also called St. Stephen’s Day (bet you didn’t know that) I went looking for one of those VHS/DVD players (yeah, I dig VHS, puto)  but they were all well over the stated prices in the mailed pamphlets sent before Christmas. So I held onto my mooney.

Today’s sales excess is a sugar-coated LIE! Sh*t! There are no more leftovers in the fridge! WHAT! And I want alcohol but I’m on medication! FUNK! …I’m going for a drive.

HAVE A GOOD ONE!

’75 Bands’ Challenge

•December 23, 2010 • 1 Comment

I just received and e-mail from my friend Jess with a picture attachment. Apparently there are 75 band names in this and to be honest, I didn’t get it, at first glance. But I get it noww and I’ve managed to name a few bands based on these random pictures alone. How many can you name? Your time starts, now!

I see Sex Pistols, Alice in Chains, Matchbox 20, Smashing Pumpkins, Scissor Sisters, Guns n Roses, Rollin Stones, Gorillaz, Flight of the Concords (are recognised as a band?), Led Zeppelin, White Snake, Eels, Hollywood Undead, etc, etc.

Jack Bauer’s brutal interrogation techniques, though effective, unfortunately only get him a place on Santa’s naughty list:
