My Pet Peeve.....

I've come to the realisation that drivers who do not have the courtesy to give you a wave, a thank you for letting them in front of you is one of my pet peeves, if not the thing that pisses me off the most. I mean, it doesn't take much to say thank you but it appears the word or even a thank you gesture alludes the majority of the human race. I work in a customer service industry and I encounter many people every day and I would hazard a guess that about 90% of these people do not say thankyou. They do not even smile and give you a pleasant welcome. What is happening? Is everybody in such a rush that they simply do not have the time to utter these words? Is everybody so fucked off that they want to bring those of us that aren't down with them? Well to all those people out there who fall into the category of the "no thank you's" I give you this.....

Please make the Sunset.....

I am sitting on my couch, it's raining and I'm being tortured by that yucky twosome.....Mel and Kochy.....

God they are like watching a train wreck, or worst still, seeing the top of workmans bum crack. You force yourself to look away, but peer out the corner of your eye just to cop another look.....(actually, I'll compare them to the crack of something huge!!)

I cannot stand them!!! She is so false, so fake, so pathetic and he is just a plain embarrassment. I used to prefer Sunrise over Today, but now i just want that sun to set....

Australia.....I Love It!! (the movie that is)

Before I really get into this post, I would like to say how annoyed I am with the world on their treatment of Nicole Kidman. Why does everybody seem to dislike her so much? I mean, it's not like she has done anything so terrible. Has she? (well, except for maybe Bewitched, The Stepford Wives and that god forsaken Fur). Ok, her forehead doesn't move but is that reason enough to dislike here? Her acting is good, I mean she is an Oscar winner and a Golden Globe winner plus been nominated again for both so her acting does have some merit. It's the typical Aussie thing. Let's bash a success story......Anyway, that's my rant on that subject, now let me tell you about Australia.

IT'S FRICKING FANTASTIC!!! I'm sure there will be some people who will comment on this negatively, but can I just say (without sounding like a big bloody girl) that i was sobbing at the end of the movie. Sobbing so much that I overheard my friend say to his bf "we can't leave the cinema until Scott's got himself together." I will admit that the first 15 minutes were a little too slapstick for me but after that initial time, the movie just found its feet and off it went. i was hooked, mesmerized and glued to my seat for the next 2hrs and 20 mins. Mrs Kidman-Urban's acting is great. Her comedic moments had me in stitches and if there is one "bad" thing I could say about Hugh Jackman, it would be that he should have been naked throughout the entire film. My God!!! that man IS the sexiest man alive.
Overall, the movie, to me, is almost a cinematic masterpiece. Yes there are cliches aplenty, but its meant to be cliched. The acting is top notch, visually it is stunning and it is such an emotional ride that I was literally exhausted on leaving the cinema. It is obviously influenced my movies from a different era and if anybody does not get a tear in their eye atleast 3 times during the course of the film, then they are just too hard for words. This movie will not win, or likely be nominated for any awards as every critic out there is panning it purely because it is directed by a man with an over inflated ego and acted by a woman who cannot seem to move her face from the eyebrows up, but I love her! and this movie! (oh, I love Hugh Jackman to!)

A Photo Shoot.....

I don't mean for my blog to be an "exhibition" for my photography, but as I have nothing interesting to contribute to the blogging world today, I thought I would post a few of my favourite photos that I have taken on my travels around Europe. Hope you like them.....

It's A Small World After All.....

I broke up with "M" about 5 weeks ago and yes, I'm completely over it now. That I know for sure. So anyway, like probably 90% of gay men, (well, gay men I know) I thought I'm going to go on the website that we love so much. (You know the one. The soul destroying one with the profiles that say they are after masculine, muscular, non asian blokes for a beer or possibly a ltr and attached is a pic of their genitals). After being on it for a few days, a lovely chap messages me. We chat and he seems like quite a lovely guy. There is no flirting on my part (ok, maybe just a tiny bit) when all of a sudden I have what is almost this feeling of deja vu. Have I met this guy before? I can see myself being introduced to him or dancing with him somewhere and low and behold he's a friend of "M's". Out of over 1000 guys on this bloody site, a friend of my ex has to chat to me.  I guess I won't be catching up for a beer with this one. Or maybe I will. I mean, I'm not interested in meeting anybody for anything other than a beer (or maybe a shag). Oh god, that merry go round they call single life is now well and truly swinging.....

Gloomy Pics on a Gloomy Day.....

Its 16 degrees outside, it's 1 week til summer, the winds are gale force and I'm tired and cranky. Can't think of much to talk about today so I've decided to add some B & W photos I've taken of Sydney. 

Unsure if it sells, but sure it is beautiful.....

This is one of the advertisements that Baz Luhrman created for Tourism Australia. I'm not too certain that it promotes Australia but I do think it is beautiful to watch.
