The Oh See

Can somebody please tell me what the hell is going on here?

Would you believe that there is a force out there, so great that it makes GROWN men weaken to the point where they actually start tp schedule outings around it? A force so great that it makes these same 'GROWN men' cry? Yes CRY!!


I personally never imagined suchan influence could ever exist, but alas my friends, i give you the O.C. - Orange County as it is lesser known. I mean come on! What the hell is so good about this rich kid fantasy land that makes it so appealing? I guess describing it as a rich kid fantasy land sorta answers that question, but still, the show has NO moral fibre & is totally sugar coated! The worst thing that happens, almost on a weekly basis is a stiff-moving, stick-insect cross chihuahua-reincarnate creature named Marissa, goes walkies & everyone in town looks for her sorry ass.

Im sorry guys, i just dont find this amusing.

We have Ryan, the Luke Perry (aka 'Dillain') rip-off, oh yeah, hes the bad-boy, the deviate with the tainted past, nobody messes with him. There's a sexed up plastic-looking 'MILF' (aka Marissa's mum), an old man who marries her and then theres Seth. Seth I can handle, me and him get along fine, I admit, he dresses well at times, but still the guy can be freakin annoying. And what kind of a name is 'Summer' anyway? Isn't that a porn-star alias? She acts almost as well as they do, they should have just named her 'Bang-Bang-Betty' - it would have been a tad more believable.


As per my friends' advice, I have tried to watch this show numerous times, each time I end up with the same sentiment, 'I would much rather be sticking skewers up between my toenails' - it would be much less excruciating!

American soapies suck. The closest comparison to this atrocity is Passions - even THAT is more believable than the O.C. I know people are going to sit there and scrutinise what I have said, but let me just put it like this: If you watch the O.C., I'm glad you have something to relate to the next time you're thikning about organising a wedding for your mum & her unbelievably rich, blackmailing father - If you're a guy & you watch the O.C. you should start contemplating a manicure, a facial mask also would not go astray.

Oh and before I finish up - What the hell is up with 'The O.C. Reloaded' - GIVE ME A BREAK! Im sorry channel 10, but you're going to have to wait till the next season is aired before you start repeating 'old' episodes that were new up until barely a week ago! This isn't a frikkin hired video that you just press 'repeat' on! Give us a break & bring back the old skool comedies - Married With Children is a much better 'Larf'.

Long story short - The O.C. is a pathetic attempt for blokes to try and latch onto their 'feminine side', the show sucks & you really need to find better things to do with your time. I can't think of a worse show, I mean, seriously, I would much rather be watching Beverly Hills 90210 re-runs than this crap, at least they had an excuse for being so damn rich!

Thats all.

Pumping iron

To gym or not to gym?

This is the question plaguing many aspiring chick magnets out there. Just one of society's ever so desired social norms - 'The physique of the Gods'. Those sculpted washboard abs, those perky pecs & bulky biceps - what a specimen of true perfection. For some it's genetic, for others it's hard work & for a select few its merely synthetic. Which ever way you look at it, girls cant get enough of it & guys obsess over it.



Look, I can see why guys jump on the roids - its simple, yet again they are responding to the social norm which shouts out that 'bigger is better & the more like Arnie you look the more appealing you become to those of the opposite extraction'. I reckon it's simply a case of penis envy! Compensating for size in that other department fellas? Or is it the fact that they are trying to cover up their other insecurities? I mean if it were for the sake of health, I wouldnt make a mention, but there are so many 'Top Heavy' blokes out there, it just proves that 90% of time spent in the gym is devoted to the good ole' arms, back & shoulders routine.

So much effort, so much cash, so much determination - I say bring back the 60's or the 70's, the days of hairy chests, flabby stomachs, handlebar moustaches & Tom Selleck! A guy could get any chick he wanted with minimal effort & he was rated according the amount of hair he had stuffed under his shirt. Why should hair necessarily be viewed as a bad thing? I mean c'mon ladies, think of it as a cushion, or a playground even, where you could lose yourselves & sleep for hours. Think of the comfort!? No one likes a hard pillow do they?



Again, I digress - long story short, guys are doing everything in their power to achieve the 'ultimate physique', hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars per year on gym memberships, health supplements, beautician appointments (and even roids)! I mean we've all heard of the notorious back, sack & crack wax havent we? Hasn't the male body been de-man-ified enough? I mean im all for metrosexuality, but where do we draw the line? Boy George?!?!



Down with waxing, down with roids - bring on the hair & bring on the physique man was sposed to have!

Thats all.

FCUKEN GET OVER IT!

"FCUK FASHION"

"FCUKIN ANGEL"

"TOO BUSY TO FCUK"

Ah, the statement Tee. How I long to see another! I mean they're so clever! Who could've guessed that 2 of the 4 letters of a preverbial could change a statement from being rude to just being darn clever!

Havent we been tortured enough? I mean French Connection UK has been living off these statement Tees for far too long. Walk into any FCUK shop and you will find where they have focused their efforts for the past 2 years. I think they fired anyone with an eye for fashion or style and just replaced them with people who are good at coming up with catch phrases! Are they just using the virgin blue marketing team? Richard Branson - get onto it!
Its obvious, the french people who live in the United Kingdom have no idea about whats going on in the fashion savvy of Paris, but gee do they know how to make up cheeky statements! WOW!

People, get over this whole phase, the sooner you do that, the sooner people will actually use the word FUCK on t-shirts rather than beating around the bush with stupid puns.

Who is going to tell FCUK that the joke is over, move the FCUK on!

Thats all.

My friend the pirate

In this age of information abundance, everyone is a criminal. We all hunger for information & the fact that it is so easily accessible makes it so much easier to get 'full' (although many people have a hunger that is insatiable). Lets approach a question of ethics - Is it wrong to download music? Heres my theory....

Big or small, stealing is stealing.

If you got a year for every song you've downloaded I'd probably do a ballpark figure of around about 76.29 life sentences. A friend of mine would probably serve over 300 life sentences... But lets be serious for a moment, a song can't possibly equate to a year in prison (or can it).

The question on everyone's mind has to be is downloading a song stealing? Well lets see, an artist slaves over the pad and a pen for days, weeks, months or years to rat out a rhyme. Then comes the instrumental, then the promotion & so on until the CD hits the shelf (or BitTorrent).

Shouldn't these artists be commended for their efforts? Shouldn't they be rewarded for their contribution to society's mental integrity? My answer is complex, yet, hopefully intriguing.

Centuries ago, kings & queens ruled the world, anyone who spoke their mind would've met the chopping board or the noose. Now who has the power? President Bush & entertainers. Bush aside, entertainers are paid higher than any other occupation on the face of this planet! If you ask me, they have been rewarded way too much for their 'contribution' to society in the first place. Artists should get off their horses & realise that what they do isn't worth the amount they are paid. What about esteemed scholars? What about those MENSA worthy candidates who probably get a miniscule wage for their impact on the people they teach or those who they inspire?! Ultimately, these are the people who need to be rewarded. What ever happened to relativity? Shouldnt what you do be relative to how much you are paid? I guess not.

Its all about supply & demand. People no longer have a thirst for knowledge, but rather something to fill their minds with, so they no longer have to contemplate the real issues they face in life. I mean, ignorance is bliss! I would love to sit in front of a TV screen or be blocked off to the world by headphones for days on end, without facing responisibilities or the world in general! i mean who wouldnt?!


I have probably digressed from the topic line a little too much, however, i would like bring back the notion that downloading music is not wrong (at least not in my eyes). Entertainers are paid far too much for the corruption they bring to society, sure they make us happy, but if we relied solely on them for knowledge, I dont think we would ever progress as a race of human beings who supposedly have 'free will'. I say download what you want when you want it and satisfy your hunger! To hell with stealing, it was their fault for expecting so much for their efforts in the first place! They should be happy they are getting paid regardless of how much. Its time that pay become relative to your impact on a generation.

I know many people will argue that artists present their own view of the world - but the fact is, i dont give a shit! They can sing about '40s, bitches & blunts' all they like, but it aint makin my life any better!

So music piracy is ok in my books! Garrrr!

Thats all.

Relationships: Girls & Games

Heres a follow on from my very good friend, William On's Blog....

They say relationships are all a game.Why cant girls (note the use of the word 'girls') just realise when games have expired and when its time to turn in the dice & start acting truthfully about how they feel. They keep on playing this game of, im going to show you a little bit of me then draw back, then send you confused signals etc etc

Us guys just cant get enough of the games that girls play with us, i mean who wouldnt love the feeling of not knowing where you stand? who wouldnt love the feeling of not being able to tell a girl how u feel without fear of them drawing back because you dont even know how she feels!?I'll tell you one thing, if these girls continue to play their games they wont end up with a nice guy, only a guy who knows how to play. Remember that, the next time you act with only ur self-interests at heart (girls).

In the end where will they end up? I'll tell you where, underneath the hearts she has shattered & the minds she has warped. She will be trapped in a relationship with someone she ultimately never wanted in the first place.If guys are nice in the beginning - its not because of some bizzare circumstance - think about it, its because they are showing you who they truly are. Trust in your own judgement & dont approach every relationship as if it were a game. Coz if you play, expect to lose.


Thats all.
