Right. Lets try this again.
It's been fucking ages since i've actually written a post here, so in an effort to distract myself from broken hearts, breast cancer, death and poor friendships; I'm going to attempt to write a post once a day. And its going to to be one of those inane list things that has 107 of the fucking suggestions. Hopefully i'll get back onto my Plinky posts as well. Sadly (thankfully) the word association posts have taken a back seat. I was pretty lazy with them anyway.
Nothing much has happened lately either. Lots of working, having my time wasted by dumb cunts and having a few hangovers (so at least that part is normal). I'm sure i'll mention something in the following posts that will fill you on all the good shit thats been happening.
Slightly Inebriated Airport Blog: My Female Companion (Perth)
I think i read about this somewhere else recently. Plane friends, those friends you meet who you have a totally fulfilling yet at times slightly awkward friendship for an entire three hours.
These are people you meet on an airplane who are either drunk (I must raise my hand here), or just genuinely chatty enough to keep you interested in what ever they have to say. They're kind, friendly usually about 30-40 years of age and in all of my experiences; mostly female.
Today I flew to Perth for work (Work stuff begins Tuesday, But I paid for the flight change to get here for the weekend). My plane friend for the day was a woman for whom's name i can not recall at all; i don't think it even came up. She was probably middle aged but had really well maintained skin and complexion; i put this down to the fact she works for a large skin care company; the name I can not recall. She has a husband & daughter; her daughter lives in the US & her husband and her live here after moving from Zimbabwe after loosing their farm to the government (a situation i'm aware of, but not at all qualified to understand or comprehend).
Our conversation topics covered a seemingly broad range of topics of which i annoyed the antisocial (left out) fellow next to us. Drink Driving, Employment, Film, Music, Chocolate, Beer & Wine, Skin Care & Gadgets; All topics for what any traveller is probably well versed in, topics you can hold a firm and steady opinion about without upsetting or offending other people. Entirely trivial and open to personal taste.
We found we both enjoyed Judi Dench & Merryl Streep, we both enjoy drinking too much red wine & waiting until there rest of the aircraft as emptied out till we can remove our baggage form the overhead compartment before leaving the aircraft.
You can feel the friendship coming to its logical conclusion; the aircraft emptying out (not unlike the reserves of conversation topics), the anticipatory glances behind you (me) checking how many people are left until you rise out of your seat; prompting me to rise from my seat and get the ball going
Then it comes….the farewell.
You exchange pleasantries & say your farewells as you walk up the air bridge to the terminal; before you politely ignore or avoid each other at the baggage carrousel.
To my nameless lady compantion on my Adelaide - Perth QANTAS flight today, You were a delight; I hope you like your daughters next boyfriend. If we ever see each other again, lets begin afresh & keep this memory wholesome.
What was the last thing you got really excited about?
Theres probably been a few things recently that have sparked my excitement. I've had a few opportunies to hang out with great friends, I've seen one of my favourite live acts play in one of the best pubs in my city, I've seen HENRY ROLLINS, and I've got hang out with a mate who had a tough couple of years.
But I thought out of all those the excitement applies to anything to do with my friends. Hanging out with them is always a treat, I never know what I'm in for in some cases!
I had an absolute blinder of a night a few weeks ago, which just came totally out of the blue. It was brilliant; Awesome day watching one of my friends perform in a competition, then relaxing beers. Shortly after that we'd ordered pizza, began drinking beautiful wine, slowly moving to any booze we could find before we stumbled into the CBD to a friends birthday party( (at which we fucking owned the dance floor) after which we someone dragged ourselves to the local gay bar before once again owning the dance floor too.
I hurt for 3 days after. It was so painful. I get excite for hanging out with friends. Really really excited.
How Often I Travel; Not Enough
Not often enough it would seem. I've got a little bit of credit card debt which sucks up a lot of my money as I'm trying to throw the majority of my income at it to get it out of my life.
The downside of this is that i'm mostly unable to actually afford a holiday or trip when I have the time to take one. I've got so much annual leave up my sleeve it's actually ridiculous. This will come in handy over the next few months though; I plan on taking a couple of trips interstate (Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane) and hopefully a little later I'll be heading overseas to see my mate.
This means I have now got to be even more stingy in the way I spend my money; I've cut down my drinking, I'm not buying expensive things from work & I'm trying to not spend so much money during lunch break on food stuffs.
5 Things I’m Looking Forward to This Week
This week is a little packed, Lets see how we go narrowing it down to my favourite things this week!
Australia Day
I’m so keen for Australia Day its kind of silly, as this years Australia Day party simply will not be the same without my two mates mates who are floating about overseas. DEVASTATED! But as usual there will be drinking, music, friends & maybe a slip & slide! So excited about it!
Eggless
I’ll be going to eggless on Wednesday night with a couple of friends who I unforunately no longer have the privilege to work with. I’ve never been to Eggless, so I’m a little excited about this!
Day Off - Tuesday
Tuesday is my day off this week, so I have a couple of things to organize on that day, Like a beer bong for Thursday, maybe a date for the weekend and I may even organize a date for the weekend; lets see how I go. Oh, and Im also going out to dinner with a mate during the evening, But i’m not going to drink alcohol and I may even try going to the gym on the way home.
The Gym
Late I’ve made a much better effort at returning to the gym and I’m feeling better for it. I’m (attempting) to eat healthier and I’m drinking less booze then I would normally which is MEGA BONUS! This week will hopefully be the week that I get myself in the habit of waking up early and go to the gym before work.
Poofcast
Hopefully there will be a new poofcast released, this is practically the highlight of my week.
Beginning 2012
Really, I have NO IDEA how I can answer this question because not everything is within my realm of influence
This year I will not let myself become to emotionally invested in men that have no idea what they want, I will not be lead down the garden path only to get to the front door and be turned away. I also will attempt not to do the same; I love affection and sometimes for me I unfortunately get blinded by that and sadly waste the other persons time.
I will also attempt not to drink so much this year, no drinking during the weekdays. I give myself only a few weeks before I fuck that up.
I'm going to read more. I need to read more.

Culture Love – 4 Things.
Culture is an odd word (in my view at least) here in Australia. We have our indigenous culture, our white culture & then cultures of those of have migrated or immigrated in; So that all has to be taken into account for this post I guess, but lets see if I can manage that.
The first one is Beer; seriously what is there not to love about beer. Admittedly we weren't exactly pioneers of this WONDERFUL WONDERFUL beverage but it still plays a massive part of our culture. I think.
Pubs; Very closely linked to the first one. I'm definitely a fan of the pub; as my waist line shows. They're socially inviting, relaxed atmospheres where yo can drink and have fun with your mates; not loud horrible nightclubs filled with drunk slags and jersey shore wannabe cock knockers.
Beach; Sun, Sand & Waves. Also normally my beach visits include Beer.
Triple J Hottest 100 Australia Day Parties; My absolute favourite thing about summer, drinking and singing along to music that I've probably heard a few too many times. We normally who head to my mates place, shelter under a big orange tree, and make use of a make-shift slip and slide. Love it
