Sadness and the modern betrayal

Another year.. another new blog it seems!

It seems like I only start a new blog when something big happens... or if I have time..

So, here it goes again, life is travelling rather strangely with my best friend going away and another friend becoming a nuisance.

One best friend is leaving the big smoke and living their dream - that's great - I'm happy for them: they'll be up the highway, but it's sad that I know that I will see her a lot less.

The other friend becoming a nuisance, well he is one that likes to provoke people.

First he brings up sleeping with a crush (like that kind of bullshit is something that you bring up during dinner) and then he likes to put you down while you're feeling down.


[Top of the list on Facebook's Likeness quiz for "thing you would do for a friend" is Lay off friend's crush. Obviously this person didn't take the quiz!]

So my question is, is the act of mateship dead? When does it become okay for one friend to sleep with another friend's crush (without you knowing) and then bring it up later and it's all meant to be alright?


[Any guy near that girl will get a strapping... the girl too!]

Surely we've learned from that Troy movie, other than all Greek people having six packs, that if you sleep with a chick that someone has feelings for that's how wars get started.

Not that I'm thinking of a war or anything - but what kind of compensation do you get for that?

Sure they can say, "well she's all yours now" - but do you really want to go there after your friend has been there?

Don't cry over spilt water!

[What? My favourite band isn't Wet Wet Wet! ]


Love is all around and so the feeling shows. But when it comes to Tom Cruise his feeling blows.
Tom Cruise is all narky about being sprayed in the face with water from
a fake microphone at the War Of The Worlds premiere in Britain from two
prankster "journalists".

So, what's the problem here?

Other people have played pranks before but nothing has come of it. Not one bitchy scientologist in sight.

Yet here Mr Cruise thinks he's God's gift to women (or at least women
young enough to be his daughter). Yes - Katie Holmes is young enough to
be his daughter, just. Or if it were one of those backwater Tasmanian
things..

[Nothing like a map of Tasmania! ]


Here's one prank that got out of hand:

[I'm so hungry I could eat a horse! ]

In ancient Greek times there were two city-states and they were at war
and yada yada yada. One of the states thought "Hey let's give them a
statue which they will love and then kill the hell out of them while
they sleep."

Moral to the story there - best pranks happen when people are asleep.

[Want to see me turn on my siren? ]

Recently on Neighbours, Stuart (above) had his goatie shaved off - while he slept. He still got the chick though.

A prank that I actually did was for April Fools' Day this year. I sent around an sms telling everyone that I was gay.

Although it wasn't just like that it was like "Well for a while now
people have been talking behind my backs and I know I can't get a
girlfriend and I now know why. I am gay"

It worked (is that a good thing or a bad thing?) and people believed it.

Well some did, anyways I am not gay I loves me women!

Or leaving the words to someone a bit more knowledgable on the subject:

[I love boobies! ]

Fully sick!

[The Outsiders are just toooo sweet!]

Men are the strongest species on the Earth.

We build skyscrapers, think up huge recipes for food, for bombs. We tackle, punch, lift, stretch, we do it all.

There's nothing that a man can't do or take. We're strong, powerful...

[E gads! He's got a cold *and* he's turned into a dummy!]

Until we get a cold.

Then we become coughing wheezing snotty little children laying in our beds or lounges rugged up like we're heading to Antarctica.

[Nice horsey!]

Nothing hurts a man more than a cold. If Achilles hadn't been hurt in his heel, he would've been hurt by the Achilles sniffles.

So why am I talking about colds? Well, you'd never guess but myself and Rabbit both have one.

The only reason why I know he had one is because we both went to see Dr K today.

But other than seeing Dr K today I spent the day sleeping and drinking water and sleeping and playing Monopoly Tycoon (and failing miserably) and sleeping.

Will I get to work tomorrow? Most likely - my sick leave has run out.

[Welcome to Company XYZ! *coughs*]

So all those people who want their problems fixed tomorrow if you hear a sick and wheezy bloke on the phone - that should be me!
