New Tony Font Show Poster


Tonight Lee and Matt came over and we designed the new Tony Font Show poster for their cd launch this September the 16th. It turned out pretty cool. I am pleased to announce that Jam Jar makes an appearance. See this poster in various locations around Adelaide from this weekend onwards.

Most Satisfying Meals


Whilst trying to find a good picture of some black Nike Air Paul Rodriguez shoes (too add to my wishlist) I came across a blog post of mine and thought man, my previous blog posts are so much better than the crap I write these days. So that is why I'm writing this second blog post tonight as if it will somehow compensate for lack of quality with quantity.

Here is a compiled list of the most satisfying meals one can enjoy. We're talking total satisfaction here, the feeling of oneness with the world, the feeling of every cell in your body thanking you for taking it into pleasure country.

1. Taco's
After a meal of taco's (which i have not had in ages since i now do my own cooking) I feel totally 100% satisfied, such a simple meal, cook the mince meat with lots of sauce. Heat taco shell, add a good quality grated cheese, tomato chunks, grated lettus, squeeze of sauce. Far out im salivating now even thinking about this. When is Adelaide going to get Taco Bell dammit!!! Does anywhere else in Australia have a TB?



2. Lamb Yiros
Also high up there in the total satisfaction scale of meals. So filling, the greasy lamb chunks (not too chunky) the garlic sauce...mmmmm... Must be wrapped in a good bread, very important.



3. Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding
The sweetness of the warm chocolate, the different textures, the contrast of hot liquidy chocolate with the fluffy pudding choc is unbelievable. Topped with some ice cream... mmmmmmm.



4. Hot Chips from either KFC, Rags, Burger IT
The key to good hot chips is the thickness and salt content. KFC thickness is the max a chip should be, macdonalds is too thin, its basically just oil. After eating hot chips you should crave a soft drink, if not the salt content is crap. They should be really, really salty, but not smothered in salt.


Thankyou


These things give so much and put a smile on my long face.

* The Internet
* Friends & Family (especially Sara xoxo)
* The Knife
* Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate
* Last.fm
* Sneakers
* Comedy
* Technology
* Pizza
* Lamb Yiros's
* The Law of Attraction
* Chip Sammiches (Sammich has been in my head all day)
* Skateboarding Culture
* Weirdo's
* Talkback Radio
* Mobile Phone Camera
* Sennheiser Headphones
* Berri Orange Juice
* Gibbs Crumpets
* Trey Parker & Matt Stone
* Any Object which increases organisation
* Alcohol + Dancing to good music
* Cartoons and Illustration
* Comfortable Clothes/Fashion
* Smrt ppl who share their insights (DEH)
* Satire
* Good RSS Feeds

It appears my enjoyments can be summarised thus:
1. Internet
2. Friends/Family
3. Food
4. Feeling Creators (Music, Movies)

My First Video Blog Post


Have been inspired to do my own video blog lately, i made one, uploaded it to youtube then deleted it because it was stupid. It was not even in sync, it was the equivalent of eating so much junk food that you vomit and then after you vomit you are hungry again. I don't know. I would like to make some cool videos and upload them to my youtube page but I need to get a proper video camera for that. If i ever do another video i don't think i'll do a "video blog" no no. Id like to do a spoof show or something that would be funner, but me talking about nothing, going ummm and nervously trying to think of things to say does not make for good viewing.

Two Amazing Websites


Today I came across 2 great websites that you have to check out. My writing and explanations suck today, more than usual, please dismiss this fact and enjoy the links.

The first website my friend Philip told me about, he sent the link in an email to me http://www.tard-blog.com/



Tard Blog is great. It's written by a special education teacher, Riti Sped, who is now retired from teaching. Tard blog covers many of Riti's daily happenings, funny stories of what a certain tard said or did during the day. Heres an excerpt from Tard Blog.

This morning, as all the kids were unpacking their things, I notice the old new kid was just sitting there, doing nothing. I said to him, "You need to unpack your backpack."

His response to me- "You need to unpack your butt."


and

32: Tom gets upset:

Tim refuses to accept the fact that we only use a capital letter at the beginning of our name. He wants to just throw in random capital letters. I will not allow this.

One day he kept making capital letters and arguing with me about it, so I took away his writing journal and his pencil. Needless to say, he got violently angry. He threw shit all over the place while calling me a "crack head bitch."


Enjoy

The Second Website I found through a Something Awful feed - read the full article here: http://www.somethingawful.com/index.php?a=4006

Steve Sutton

Oooh i just checked out his journal and he had this to say about the above article:

Ugh
I'm on the front page of somethingawful.com, which is an extremely popular site. It also seems to be a bit too elitist for my taste. I've e-mailed the webmaster and asked him to remove the article, because of the unwanted publicity, plus it makes unflattering, inaccurate assumptions about me. Hopefully, he will.


Steve Sutton is awesome! He has a video blog, where he posts video blogs to youtube in which he talks about his day to day activities.
He likes science fiction, video editing and SOUTH PARK.. major points for liking south park. His website is great, check out his journals and opinions on various topics. He has created a sci-fi show called "The Portal" which is really good.
I suck at describing things so just check out the website and see for yourself the genius that is Steve Sutton.

Here is a youtube video post of his:

Restaurant Idea


Bachelor

A restuarant which serves 2-minute noodles, canned food items, bread and butter, maybe if your feeling posh a continental packet meal. All food items would be real cheap to buy, preferably home brand and everything would be served on paper plates and plastic cuttlery as they can be throw out once the meal has been finished. The prices will be real high as what you are paying for is the experience, not simply the food. Tables will have sticky cordial patches, biscuit crumbs, placemats are old newspapers. Chefs through to waiting staff should be aged 18-30, uniforms should consist of tracky dacks/novelty tee (something along the lines of big cock with the picture of a rooster on it). The novelty tee should have at least 1 food related stain on it. Drinks should be cordial, beer, half filled bottles of wine, coke. 34cm tv's should attached to the table. Lets make it happen.

When people forward me emails and leave in all the forward crap at the start of the email so i have to scroll down for 5 minutes before I can actually read what 97% of the time is a dumb, unfunny email to start off with.
Some people should not be allowed to forward emails.
There should be questions you have to answer when you sign up for an email account which judge if you are infact retarded, if you are, you do not get the forward button.

Let me dispell some email myths right now:
- It's impossible to track an email as it's forwarded.
- You are not going to find the love of your life, lose weight or benefit in ANY way by forwarding on dumb emails. You will not have bad luck if you do not forward them on.
