So, it’s been a while since I posted here but every now and then I get the itch to have my say. And because Adam was silly enough to provide a password and account on which to post on this site I can and I will.

So if you haven’t noticed there’s been some comments left on sciron.org that aren’t relevant much to the post they’re connected to but more of a personal nature towards Adam. You can find the most recent ones here My problem with this (and you have no idea the restraint I’m putting on myself here) is that they lack, hmm what should we call it let’s try, balls.

I’m, as you can probably tell, opinionated, sassy, bitchy and fiercely loyal and protective of Adam. And when someone chooses to essentially kick the boy and run my little maternal instinct for him steps up.

When you have and write in a blog you put yourself, your life, your plans and your thoughts out there for people to read, question or comment on. This can be the coolest thing in the world. However when people in your life read these personal posts, even after you’ve asked them not to, you find yourself censoring what you write.

That’s where Adam is now, people from not only his workplace but personal life who he didn’t and doesn’t want reading this page, mainly beca se they’ve done it behind his back without being honest and upfront and let him know. Or they’re not aware that there are very simple rules to this problem which can be found here.

This sucks. This is Adams personal site which he started to document his life and the events that occur in it. He should be able to write whatever he feels like it. But that’s not how it is and people are still reading it and not always agreeing with what he says.

Essentially if you don’t agree with something Adam says you have two choices,

1) Get over it, choose to write it off as simply another persons’ opinion which you may not agree with. Essentially get a life.

2) Or get your own site and reply on it, leave a comment, start a discussion. That’s the whole reason for the commenting system.

Two very simple choices.

Yet if you want to express your opinion, have your say, contradict something Adam said or just participate in a discussion take responsibility for it. If you believe in what you’re saying be a proper man/woman and put your name to it. Calling him a liar and then offering no evidence to back it up with, like your name and a contact point, is fucking cowardly. If you believe Adam is the biggest arsehole in the world who treated you badly and is an abomination that’s fine. But if you choose to say that on his page own it.

That is all. If you don’t agree with anything I’ve said either leave a comment – with a name or a valid e-mail address, or contact me at my page and we can have a normal conversation that hopefully doesn’t resort to name calling and childish antics. If no name or address is left again I’m not going to waste my time and bother responding. Your choice.

NEWS.com.au | Man marries dog for luck – then dies (February 5, 2004)

From correspondents in Kathmandu

Agence France-Presse

Ok people, what would be your animal of choice to marry?

I’d have to say fish… sure it costs a bit to court them and get you house fitted out as a fish friendly environment, but they are cheap to feed, and have short memories.
Oh and if you ever have to get a divorce from one th property settlement is easy, they get everything that’s covered with water!

Firstly let me just say that if you want to flame me about this one, go right ahead ….

I advise that everyone take themselves from my site and head over here (and read the following post as well) and see pure prejudice at it’s best. (and no, not from the author!)

I have received quite a bit of negative feedback, and had more than the occasional argument over this ‘issue’. The topic of the prejudice we place on others and how we should react when it’s in our sights.

I personally have been on the receiving end of prejudice my entire life. Each and every day I am labeled as being too girly or gay (why that’s a label i’ll never understand) or something equally ‘non-masculine’. My interactions with others are peppered by my own thoughts, beliefs, ideals and prejudice of others based on either truths or (in most cases) speculation derived from non-existent facts.

Within this context I understand that part of accepting people is to remove as many of the prejudices I have against others and keep an open mind to the possibility that x person does not fit the mold. However this is an impossible dream, fundamentally flawed by the simple need of humans to erect boundaries so they can actively filter the types of people they want in their lives.

So I suppose what i’m saying is where do we apply the filters? So racism is not ok, attacking a disabled person is to be abhorred, but choosing to judge a passerby on the street because they are ‘fat’ is not ok??

The flaw here is that you simply cannot know everything about every person …. Guess what: Harry over there could be fat because he eats McDonalds 7-10 times a week, never exercises and drinks beer every night. He also may have a hormonal deficiency, eat incredibly healthy and work out at the gym 6 nights a week. Is it fair to judge that person, definitely not. Is it realistic that you will make a judgement call of the 10,000 people you brush by every week. Definitely.

The people who frighten me most are those that feel they execute no prejudice, but will comfortably slag off x person or y person with no real knowledge of their situation, no desire to understand why they are how they are, just a need to feel validated in their own lives. I see it every day, and I mostly see it from people who claim to have the least prejudice.

You know what, I like my prejudices. I don’t have an issue that I judge people based on certain criteria. Though I try to keep these to a minimal, I need to filter out the people I meet each year, take the time to let a select few in. Does this make me a bad person for wanting to filter out intelligent, laid back, outgoing individuals? No, it makes me pragmatic. Does this justify my actions, no. Is there a realistic alternative to the above, no.

Now (unlike many of the comments i’ve heard) i’m not taking the personal topic on board of ‘fat vs not fat’, but attempting to articulate the reasoning that each and every person has prejudice, we all just see ours in a different light.

Getting personal…

I’ve put on 5-7 kilos. This is due to a)laziness b)drinking too much c)eating unhealthy. Am I responsible for my weight, absolutely. Do I need to accept responsibility for it, definitely.

I’ve started swimming and eating healthy foods. In a couple of months when i’ve trimmed off these 5 kilos, will I look at people with a ‘gut’ and think, ‘they need to get to the gym and eat healthy and they could get rid of that’ … yes I will.

Would I make that judgement if I was somehow able to mysteriously tap their minds and know for certain that their weight was due to something they couldn’t control, of course not.

As soon as you know how to have god-like knowledge of everyone, come see me. I could have a business ventur that you’d be very impressed in!

Adam

p.s – I know people who are ‘fat’ (ie i’m indicating ‘fat’ as a person with BMI 2-3 times the recommended level for a persons sex, height and build) who are perfectly happy. I also know people who are f** who aren’t happy, have low self esteem and judge themselves poorly.

I have to say to these people that I have also suffered low self esteem (for different reasons, but i’ve been informed that low self-esteem is low self-esteem) and work diligently to increase my ‘happy’ levels. Therefore I can’t validate this as an ‘excuse’ because of your situation.*

p.p.s – I’m not a fan of ‘skinny or slender’ girls. I love curves. Give me ‘healthy and fit’ 12-14 any day

* This p.s assumes that you have a non-medical reasoning for your weight issue, and that it can be controlled/regulated with exercise/healthy diet.

1. I just lost my post!
2. I’m losing outgoing e-mail (service provided by my ISP)
3. I’m losing incoming e-mail (service provided by my web host)
4. I’m sure i’m losing my mind…

So, for anyone who is/was sending me e-mail, if I haven’t replied within 24 hours, either my response has been lost or I haven’t seen the original. Please send me your message again!

I also took the liberty to send this beautiful lady an e-mail wishing her well on the anniversary of her 3rd year of marriage. Her site is a great read and I think what she doesn’t share makes it even more enjoyable.

So Michelle sends me some ideas for where my website design might go, and sure enough, web host not responding! … Now I did the obligatory e-mail of ‘it has to be your fault because my PC config is perfect!’ …. damm us arrogant IT support staff

(Ed: As soon as it’s working i’ll check if it’s ok and post the link here for you all to provide [constructive!] feedback)

3 Doors Down – Here Without You

A fantastic track. Aromatic melody driven home by a strong bassline and lyrics which could wake us from dreams.

A hundred days have made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face.
A thousand lies have made me colder
and I don’t think I can look at this the same.
And all these miles that separate
disappear now when I’m dreamin’ of your face.

I’m here without you baby
but you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time.
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still with me in my dreams.
And tonight, it’s only you and me.

These miles just keep rollin’
as the people leave their way to say hello.
I’ve heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go.

I’m here without you baby
but you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time.
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still with me in my dreams.
And tonight girl, it’s only you and me.

And everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love.
And when the last one falls, and when it’s all said and done
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love.

I’m here without you baby
but you’re still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and i dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it’s only you and me

Adam Uncategorized lyrics

Continuing on the path of swimming 4 days a week, I am heading back to torture my body into submission until I am once again buff so I can strut around in Speedos* & **

I remember when I first went to swim laps. I thought I was relatively fit and would have no troubles covering 500-1, 00m in the pool ‘over a few laps’ ……. I was rollerblading 200+ km’s per week, 100 pushups a day and 50 situps….. Getting in that pool showed me how weak the majority of my body was.

1 lap in and I had pain everywhere… 2 and I was crying to my mama…. 3…. ummm.. yeah.. well that was for the week after.

It does take time and commitment, but having a swimmers is worth the commitment… and besides, when you have a swimmers body, you become more attractive to young, (hopefully) impressionable female swimmers…. hmmm

* I’m kidding about the speedos, no matter how good I look I won’t be seen in them
** What i’m *really* afraid of is that I will one day be wearing speedos… shudder…

So I goes to the chemist to pick up some legal drugs and was offered a plush toy worm. It was cute and all, and seeing the ironic side of walking around with plus toy, I said yes, flirted a little with the assistant and went on my merry way.

Upon returning to a full lunch room, someone reads the side of the worm… web address = www.combantrin.com, d’oh!

Note to self: Do not accept gifts which may see you paid out for have wormfighting-agent plush toys.

I’m scared now, if I scratch my ass once in the next week, i’ll be forever known as the worm-boy….

I’m now officially in love with the boys and girls at Thrifty. Their weekend package deal makes life immensely easier than the hassle of awkward pickup/dropoff times as I have experienced too many times before when travelling by car.

So that’s that in place. Valentines weekend booked, Sydney booked… I’m actually committing to something!

That is all

When one is bored and without motivation, work appears to be the only answer.

This has been my life since my return from holidays. Work to avoid boredom, work to pass time and work because it’s the most enjoyable thing I can imagine…… I’m really losing it when work is something that I want to be doing folks.

Subsequently, my employer must love me at this point in time. I am dragging my work colleagues on a one-man festivus of upgrades, minor tweaks and serious overhauls, but the end results are far more beneficial in the long term.

I’m almost happy with how everything is running

The above was written about 12 hours ago, when I should have been posting so you guys get to read more of my useless tripe. However that work thing caused me to be overloaded and here I am now posting to you at 2 in the morning…

Things:

- I have just done a complete overhaul of my wardrobes and chucked out a wheelie-bins contents of crap
- I also found where that mysterious smell in my cupboards was coming from.. i’m not sharing the details
- I now feel considerably lighter, though in 5.5 hours i’m going to feel just like crap …

Would anyone like a (slightly used but never abused) porn collection?

So this is a serious one. What is the traditional method with this stuff. Chuck it in the bin, offer it to the lonely neighbours. Who knows the trouble I could get myself into over this one.
Anyhow, it was bought when I was back in my young, experimental, pre-adsl-internet years…. and it’s just sitting there collecting dust.

First thoughts were to donate it with the other goods at the local St Vincent Depaul, but on second thoughts I don’t want too many of the old tickers going off the charts from either blood clots, or just plain loss of blood.

So, if anyone is seriously gutsy, you can e-mail me and i’ll post them to you (well, you have to pay the postage) … otherwise they’ll probably find themselves on some street corner where a local teenager can have his wildest dreams fulfilled

p.s – unlike in the True Porn Clerk stories I did not leave any disgusting mess on the tapes…. (that’s just gross)

—

And for my next act, i’ll be showing up to work naked.

Well if this rain doesn’t cut out in the next day, i’m all out of the ten (or so) business shirts that I posses. As I am well aware, I’m usually away more weekends than most, so I come with a fully stocked business-attired wardrobe for extended breaks, weekends away or just general laziness.

(as a side note, this was particularly useful when I first broke up with the girl, 2 weeks of not worrying about pesky items like ironing allows plenty of time to feel sorry for ones’ self)

That’s it folks. Other than that there’s even more boring crap like:

- The 200 metre swim that nearly killed me
- Why I didn’t phone Eve back last night
- I need to write something to Jessica for her mention of me on her website

Loving all your work, though not impressed with the hour…

Evanescence – My Immortal

i’m so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
your presence still lingers here
and it won’t leave me alone

these wounds won’t seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there’s just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i’d wipe away all of your tears
when you’d scream i’d fight away all of your fears
and i’ve held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i’m bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

these wounds won’t seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there’s just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i’d wipe away all of your tears
when you’d scream i’d fight away all of your fears
and i’ve held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

i’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
but though you’re still with me
i’ve been alone all along
