the internet is connected again. much love. i never have enough time for LJ anymore what with facebook and twitter.

i just got my geek . i worked out that my internet provider has free internet radio stations which i promptly added to a playlist in itunes - which then in turn can be played on the Tivo in the lounge room.

how awesome for parties. dance dance dance radio. in the lounge room!

I just had to call 000 (Australias equivalent to 911 for non-australians)

This heroine junkie just overdosed on the street outside our building and his crackhead friends were trying to revive him to no avail. I called the ambulance they took like 20 mins to get there. I thought for sure the dude was dead.

They got there, gave him a shot of that stuff they give to heroine addicts and then miraculously he got up and walked off with his crackhead friends.

like dude seriously WTF??????

he pissed himself too. lol and to make maters worse people were just walking past pretending it wasnt there issue and even a pizza delivery dude stepped almost over him to get into t he building he was dying in front of.

So I finally got Tivo HD. Tivo is Love. My work colleagues were at first confused as to what Tivo even was and then now they are even more confused as I talk about it like its a person.

My lower back has been sore for about 2 weeks now which sucks because just as i was getting into the gym it seems injury strikes. I am not loosing the motivation just getting angry at my body. I am praying its a muscle issue but if its not better by Friday i may need to go to a doctor or chiropractor or something. You know your getting old when yout back gives in. I am only 25 an all.

P.S I just saw someone I know on a porn website. Well shameful. haha

I went on  a date tonight with a guy that is funny, hot, cool and just plain great. the date went well.

he is an ex reality tv star and published author. it helps that i didnt watch the show he was on. he has done some follow up to the date with texts. swoon.

being able to google your date is an interesting concept. i havent been stalking i promise.

im now on twitter - fromthedale

does anyone else use it? add me.

So the boy situation seems to be coming to its natural conclusion. I again end up with no one. lol

No its all good. Ben can't find work here in sydney so is gonna travel for a bit before going back to work. Graeme also can't find work here but may have secured a job in brisbane. at least he is a cheap jestar flight away if that plays out like that.

something a little less self centered. my heart goes out to the people of victoria. My employer Allianz has announced to us by email today that they will be donating $100,000.00 and that all staff are elligible to donate money through payroll and all monies donated by staff will be matched dollar for dollar. its encouraging when i hear things like that from my employer. we are not an evil insurance company like some may think when i say i work in insurance.

after a bit of a false start due to christmas i have been going to the gym reguarly again. i am feeling fantastic and think i am maybe a little lighter. i really need to buy some scales so i can know how much i am loosing. but yeah for the last 3 weeks i have been going to at least 2-3 clases a week and 4 classes last week. ive set myself the goal to attend 2 body attack classes, and 2 bodypump classes a week. i think 4 hours a week is not much to commit and think i should see results if i eat right.

So Livejournal seems to have died in the arse since facebook at al.

Hmmm I have no mortgage or house devaluing as we speak.

I have a stable job with almost 0% chance of being layed off anytime soon.

The cost is living is deflating.

The govt is giving us cash handouts to stimulate the economy

Its all looking pretty sweet right now. haha.

So i saw Milk on Friday evening. Awesome movie, makes you kinda feel like you wanna get out there and do something to change the world. Found it inspirational but now my general apathy has set back in. haha.

The dates with both boys went excellent. I've never really been in this position before cause usually there is either one boy or no boys as the more usual state of my love life. But as i met them both around the same time i presumed that one would fizzle or one would become clearer that its probably more for me and it hasn't really worked out that way i guess. Oh well we will see.

Went to the beach yesterday and had a lovely swim, summer is so nice and pleasent.

So i have not one but two boys on the go at the moment. Which is good in theory. lol.

one is english and irish and both new to australia. its hard to remember what conversations i have already had cause they are similar in that respect.

the english one i have met on 3 occasions with but not slept with. the irish one i have slept with but only met once. but for some reason i kinda feel the irish one is "winning". not because of the shag either. but i think we fit better. the english guy is a bit all over the shop and i cant read, wheras the irish is a bit more straight forward.

i have a dinner date tomorrow with the english boy before he goes to melbourne for pride or whatever gay thing they have for the weekend and then on friday i am going to the movies with the irish boy to see milk. he doesnt seem keen on the movie but i think it looks brilliant and have heard good things. so hopefully im right and he likes it.

wish me luck that my pots on the stove dont boil over.

Went to James birthday last night was awesome. got so drunk. haha.

Then today we went to clovelly beach and had a great day escaping the 40 degree summer heat.

just sipping a champagne with phil and Jarrod is quite nice. on account of the storm thats brewing we are giving symphony in the domain a miss.

as battyboy  put so ellgantly once, my little gay posts are back.

yes my peeps, i have a new computer  (imac - so pretty and shiny) and so that means reliable consistent internet. which means my random gay posts are back.

i am refusing to catch up on previous posts, but i am gonna read my friends list reguarly from now on.

so yeah im still alive.

My profound thought and why i needed to update is this...

There is a very big difference from being able to have sex with someone and wanting to have sex with someone.

As Pink said, i am not dead yet!!!

No boyfriend anymore as of last weekend. whatever.

Loving my single self.

Loves my job.

Music = everything.

drinking numbs it all.

my computer died like a bitch in the arse. ugh. i expect to have a new computer by the end of the year. i know know long time, but i wants an iMac and gonna save for that shiz rather than an $500 crapbox.

Tracy Ulman is fricking funny. This is her sketch routine of Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mother. Cannot wait to see the show when it airs here.

I have just become an Uncle for the first time. My sister just had her first child, little Ellie who came in at just 7 pounds 5 ounces. So tiny, so precious.

Uncle Ben. That sounds so fucking weird when i say it but seems so right. Cannot wait to see her for myself, will be in a few months time until i can get away.

So my  boy has gone to Thailand for a much deserved break before he starts his new job (recent promotion) and my other friends have gone to New Zealand or Darwin so I find myself home alone on Friday night. It's not so bad really, but im kinda in the mood to be social. I am so dependant on my friends and boyfriend for company these days i find myself kinda bored when by myself.

The Amazing CRAZY Celine Dion


In honur of my good friend philbert83 who is committed to the cause that is Celine.
