Music My Mum Mortified Me With as a Kid But Which I’m Now Growing Into #1

As a kid, for years and years, the running joke between my parents was that according to my mum, Tom Jones was God’s gift to women, whilst my dad figured Tom was God’s gift to men who happened to be that way inclined.

As a 3 year old, this was a very early lesson in the sexual [...]

It’s About the Journey, Man

I initially fell into blogging when I had a blogger account to comment on the blogs of friends I had in “real life”.
When said friends would harass me to write my own blog, I would say “Get oooouuuuutttt. I’m not a writer. I’m visual. I paint. And create ‘n’ stuff… I could never explain myself in [...]

Random Conversation #50

In the context of discussing the controversy around the Dwarf Jockey Race at the Cranbourne Cup.
She: It always annoyed me how people call midgets “dwarves” and vice versa. There’s a clear distinction between the two. A midget is nothing like a dwarf.
He: Dwarves have regular trunks, whereas midgets are just little people.
She: Exactly.
He: They’re sposed [...]

Cake Porn #2

I dunno why but a whole stack of people are reaching this blog doing a google search for “cake porn”.  The mind just boggles as to what it is they are actually looking for.
They then immediately appear to leave on noticing it’s not choc full of coconut covered rum balls or custard oozing cannoli’s or buttered [...]

My Partner is Determined to Turn My Child Into a Geek

My partner txted me this image today while he was out with my daughter having one of their Daddy/Daughter days. 

I can see her thought processes in action:
“Who is this blue woman? Why is her head smaller than mine? I think she’s gonna eat me. Daddy, are you seriously gonna take a photo of her eating me? [...]

Mea Culpa

We’re all human. We’re all fallible. And sometimes we commit wrongs we just can’t right - not for a lack of trying.
To those who read (and yes, I know you do) I apologise publicly, as I have privately and I can only wish brighter days ahead for us all.

I Vant To Be Alone

I was out seeing Inglorious Basterds quite late last night. Really enjoyed the film but it finished around 1am and with a detour to KFC that involved some roadworks and an insane traffic jam over the Westgate Bridge, I eventually arrived home and skulked in the door at about 2.30am.
As I settled my weary head into the pillow [...]

Happy Birthday Mum

My mum would have been 63 today.
Strangely it’s a harder day for me to deal with compared to Mother’s Day since she passed in January this year.
A few days ago a girlfriend just randomly started talking about her Dolly Parton CD of 40 or more “Essential Hits” and I asked her if “Coat of Many [...]

Songs That Stop You From Gettin’ It On

What song have you just not been able to get down and dirty with?
I was laughing over at the Diva who had posted a pisstake version of Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Exclipse of the Heart.” 
It reminded me of a horizontal moment with a guy from my past and at the crucial moment when you’re hovering just below the mountain tops [...]
