Medium Hot Bottom Five

Today I'm listing the worst things about FaceBook. Why five, you ask? I know you've seen me whinge about this site enough while continuing to use it, surely I can do more than that.
Of course I can, don't doubt me! I only happen to have five fingers I can count on, because I don't like typing with my stripey socks.

#5

Groups.

Yay, groups! Who doesn't love joining groups? No one. So, FaceBook made a new feature that makes you join groups whether you want to or not. It's true. Your friends can use yesterday's 'suggest group to friends' button or they can just make their own group, chuck you in it and let you receive a bazillion updates on things you don't care about, and you won't understand why you're getting them.

Planking Plonkers

Okay, so there's a lot of hype about planking at the moment. I know my ears perked up when I heard about it! Only I thought we were going to be pushing people off planks with swords, like pirates do in movies. Again my dreams were dashed, because planking, for those who have no idea (...somehow.. ) is basically taking a picture of yourself lying facedown somewhere.. for some reason.

Songs in 30 Days Or Less

Oh no, I won't condemn you into the 30 Day Facebook Song Challenge. Let's do it in one fell swoop, me hearties. Arrrr.

Day 01 – Your favourite song
'Stars' - Simply Red


Also one of my favourite bands. This song has been popular in my family for ages, and it will always hold a place in my heart.

Day 02 – Your least favourite song
'Nasty Girl' - Nitty

(I'm not linking this crap, you think I want to turn away potential readers?!)

Actually, I'm flattering it by calling a song. I hate samples. I enjoy some samples, but overall I hate them because little pieces of trash like Nitty here butcher and skankify beloved songs like 'Sugar, Sugar' by the Archies. It was big at the time but thankfully I seem to be the only person who remembers this loser. Be grateful I don't know where you live, Nitty.

Day 03 – A song that makes you happy
'Move Your Feet' - Junior Senior


Don't stop (don't stop) don't stop the beat!
Can't stop (can't stop) can't stop the beat!
I Won't stop (won't stop) won't stop the beat, and go!

How can you not feel happy with a song like this?? I also love the clip, a brilliant little destructive squirrel animated thing with references to Star Wars, it's so suggestive yet still innocent.

Aw, hell-diddly-ding-dong-crap!

I'm all about the retro. I miss having a tape player in my car, although Cd's are nice too. The other day while I was cleaning up, I found an old radio station's (I believe it may have been the original Switch FM) C+C and the Music Factory's 'Gonna make you sweat' mixed in with quotes from the Simpsons.
Namely 'Simpson Tide' and 'Homer's Phobia' but possibly a few other tidbits.
I laughed out loud, I tell you. It was great.



(Humming along to 'Shoop') 'Do do dooo do do, do do do.. Come on boy. Today we're gonna..AHH!!'
'I can make music..'
'You can??'
'You bet I can! Listen!'

EVERYBODY EVERYBODY EVERYBODY DANCE NOW

Sign Up To FaceKook

Yeah, we've all got those kooky friends on FaceBook.

The ones that turn your status into their life story no matter what you wrote.
The one that writes personal messages as their status because they can't tell the difference from your wall and the news feed.
That guy who keeps posting ten thousand links from the same website.
The status repeater - either they forgot they wrote it last week already or it was five minutes ago with a typo and they apparently don't have a delete button.
THE ONE THAT WRITES IN CAPS LOCK.
The one that just got married and everything has to end with 'my fantastic husband' or 'the love of my life' or else the world will implode.
The one who preaches tolerance, acceptance, non-judgemental way of life and peace but then posts something like 'So and So's a faggot' or 'You're a mute, Ariel, obviously the only reason the prince liked you was because you're hot!'
The one who can't spell, we can forgive. Mostly. The ones who spell like they're trying to be black, white, hip and on drugs at the same time can go to hell.
There's one who pity-posts... everything is so tragic, then her friends come and boost her up until the next attention seeking post comes out.
Those idiots that keep posting those 'it's mother's week!' copy and paste status updates when someone else on your list keeps posting 'it's brother's week!' ones, get your schedule right!
The ones that actually click on those 'OMG Dad walks in on daughter's first time' videos/links and then it gets spammed around.
The one that can only address problems by telling someone off..... on their FaceBook page. In anon code.
The one that just copies old jokes and gets all the likes for some reason.

A little more detail on this one - the controversial poster. One of my friends posted a pretty good thought train - haven't got time for excercise? Do you have time for illness then? and it got some mixed reactions.
I wanted to say a lot about that. Mostly negative. I work casually, but it can be full on and very physical. I often start and finish at stupid hours. The last thing I want to do is go to the gym, most times. With these work times I can't really join a sports team, and it's hard to get to the gym class I do a lot. I have access to a gym, I have a lot of sex and sometimes we take the dog for a walk. By no means do I have a concrete schedule.

As well as that, I'm still battling depression and as well as finding the time, it can be really hard to get motivated. It's fine for this girl, she's a stick figure who works in exercise physiology. I'm not saying that what she's saying is wrong, definately exercise is for the better. It's the way she came across in the comments, that stop making excuses war general kind of speech. One of her friends got a bit offended, saying that when you have a baby in your life it gets harder as well. My friend was like, make the baby part of your routine, they can be a weight in sit ups and you can push the pram around, like, a lot and stuff.

Really, you can tell she doesn't have kids. Hell, even I know that babies aren't going to sit still and act as an exercise prop. More than likely they'll pull your hair, throw up or drool on you or fall off you and start crying. How many reps do you think this lady can do with a distraction like that? As for the prams, yeah good suggestion. Only you have to think of the kid as well. It's gotta fit in with their naptime, make sure the sunscreen keeps going on, pre-make bottles. It's a lot to organise. Then I'm guessing this woman has to come back home and make dinner for her family, wash up and clean after them.. she'll be exhausted.

Sometimes it just isn't that easy. Very much like the highly paid who complain in their updates that the barista/waitstaff/storeperson they just abused should get a real job.
Yes. It's just that easy.

The one I hate most is the kind that post about killing their children on FaceBook and...wait, what?
Oh, holy shit.

Herald Sun

A CRUEL father who posted a message "Bout 2 kill ma kid'' on Facebook before stabbing his two-year-old daughter to death formally pleaded guilty today.

A previous court hearing was told that after kidnapping Yazmina outside her Hallam home, a pitiless Acar gave her mum Rachelle D'Argent updates on his plan to murder their daughter as she desperately tried to persuade him to bring her home.

He used Facebook, SMS and phone calls to taunt Ms D'Argent and the murder was in revenge for her ending their relationship.

Here's another one who thinks kids are just objects. What sick people do that to their kids, to get back at their partner? You can see why she dumped the bastard. RIP Yazmina.

I'll stop complaining now.

Sharia Law, soon to be Shazza's Law?

I think the biggest problem Muslim people must have is the outspoken rotten apples that get under everyone's skin, very much like the Bible-basher's that Christianity has.
It's hard to understand their culture because there are so many sides to consider. Reports of sexism, and cruelty to women on one hand will be refuted with another, and then someone else butts in that that's only sometimes the case and it depends where you live.

Australia seems to be getting even more multiculti-friendly though, Halal is everywhere it seems, everyone knows that terrorist doesn't equal Muslim and there's more trustworthy information out there.

This story from the Australian bugs me though.

ISLAMIC preacher Ibrahim Siddiq-Conlon points heavenwards to emphasise his message for the governments of Australia -- there is no God but Allah and only his laws should be obeyed.

"My attack is on the Prime Minister of Australia," he said yesterday. "I hate the parliament in Canberra. I want to go straight for the jugular vein and advise the parliament that they have no right to legislate. They should immediately step down and let the Muslims take over."

"One day Australia will live under sharia; it's inevitable," he said. "If they (Australians) don't accept it, that's not our problem. We hope, and our objective is to have a peaceful transition, but when you look at history that has never been the case. There's always been a fight. It is inevitable that one day there will be a struggle for Islam in Australia."

Siddiq-Conlon shrugs off concerns his campaign will damage the moderate Muslim community. "If it causes a backlash against the Muslims, I can't help that. This is a necessary debate."

LOL what a dick. This is what I believe, who cares if anyone else pays for it? Niiiiice. I would have said something like, if you hate the government so much, why stick around? Go somewhere else. This guy is Australian born so that makes it difficult. Although, you see how he turns it into a 'them' (Australians) VS 'us' (the... uh.. other Australian).
Seriously though, if you hate it so much, improve it or bugger off.

Now, this guy's idea of improving it is introducing the slicing and dicing of hands for crimes, stoning and the destruction of democracy. Which makes it hard for someone like me to say 'well, golly gee, we should totally give this a try.' Even when the other more reasonable voice tells us that Sharia law doesn't have to be hard line blood and guts.

From Adelaide Now:

THE nation's peak Muslim group is using the Gillard government's re-embracing of multiculturalism to push for the introduction of sharia in Australia, but it says it would be a more moderate variety of Islamic law that fits with Australian values.
In the submission, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils acknowledges some Muslims believe Islamic law is immutable, regardless of history, time, culture and location.  The AFIC argues this is not the case and sharia can be applied in a way that fits in to Australia and is not extreme.

A hard line reading of sharia confers unilateral divorce rights on men, while women who initiate divorce are stripped of their property and financial entitlements.

A more moderate interpretation and common practice in Islamic countries is to recognise divorce by mutual consent.

In the interview, Mr Patel said: "I'm saying that instead of letting the extremists within Islam take over the agenda, we are saying there is a path whereby it will work for all the communities in a moderate way.

"It is important for someone who is Muslim or a practising Jew that aspects of our religion which can be incorporated within the greater legal system are introduced.  This is about personal issues about family, and won't affect any other Australian," he said.

See, that's much better. Only who do you believe? Governments can't do anything right anyway, what's to say that later on the reasonable voice here won't be drowned out by Mr. Let's Stone Stuff, Guys!

Australia is famous for multiculturalism but a lot of it's people seem to be getting annoyed with it. Not because of the cultures living inside it, but because in this case we know that this would never happen in Muslim countries. They fight for Islamic schools to be build here, a Catholic one would never get past the paperwork there. They can wear what they like over here, chances are you're going to have to burqa up if you go for a social call there. Some Nando's and butchers in the local area won't sell bacon, and they won't sell it over there no matter what religion you are.

Why is that? We have to respect their culture without getting anything in return? Which is the key issue. Why on earth should we allow some violent nut job to walk in and declare that the government is crap, only Muslim law should be obeyed, and that they'll fight us for it? If someone tried to over throw Sharia law in a Muslim country.. well, you can imagine that wouldn't go down too well.

Daily Telegraph:

In calling for religious freedom to be respected, the Pope appealed for reciprocity - full rights for Christians in Islamic states where laws ban them from practising their faith openly. Such a call does not sound unreasonable. No Christian state bans the practising of Islam, but the 3.5 million Christians of all denominations who live in the Gulf Arab region, the birthplace of Islam, are barely tolerated and any form of non-Muslim worship takes place in private.

Afghanistan is not alone. Islamic nations which regularly issue calls for the West to respect Islam and show tolerance for its traditions, rarely practise what they preach.

A 200-page study of religious freedom reveals that Christianity is under siege in the Islamic world and that the dwindling number of Christians still living in Islamic nations remain among the most oppressed.

In Afghanistan, courts apply Islamic Sharia law to the interpretation and judging of individual cases concerning, for example, blasphemy or apostasy - crimes which are not covered by the penal code.

Under Islamic law, the death penalty applies for these crimes.The same applies in Bangladesh, where Christians and Hindus suffer extreme violence and persecution.

Even if arrested on the basis of accusations from only one witness, the unfortunate person risks violence and torture inflicted by the police. Under pressure from crowds incited by local mullahs, a number of judges have imposed the death sentence even in the absence of any evidence against the accused.

The report says the penal law, based on the Koran, punishes with floggings and stoning all behaviour incompatible with Islamic law, such as adultery, gambling or drinking alcohol. This law on blasphemy provides an example of one of the most sectarian and extremist forms of legislation, in addition to paving the way for a radical Islam- isation of the country.

The problem with Sharia law is that it can be interpreted, much like any other religious ruling. These interpreters are human and are therefore likely to err. It doesn't have a good track record either.

Adelaide Now:

TWO police officers were jailed today for gang raping a young woman in custody in Indonesia.
Mohammed Nazir, 29, and Feri Agus, 28, were found guilty of raping a 20-year-old student in a police station in January after she was arrested with her boyfriend under local laws designed to enforce Islamic morals.

Indonesia's Muslims are mostly moderate, but Aceh has special autonomy, and one of the ways it differentiates itself is through implementation of sharia law, enforced by special Islamic police.

Rights activists called for the Islamic force to be disbanded after the incident, saying it did nothing but harass women about their clothes and humiliate young unmarried couples.

They also said the sharia police were not empowered to detain anyone, and could only issue warnings.

Also from Adelaide Now:

A MUSLIM cleric has been arrested in Bangladesh following the death of a woman who was publicly caned for adultery, police have said.

Sufia Begum, thought to have been in her forties, was accused of having an affair with her 36-year-old stepson and was sentenced to 40 lashes last month by an Islamist court that included the imam of the local mosque, Afsar Ali.

The Bangladesh High Court outlawed punishments handed down by religious edict, or fatwa, in July, but Begum’s death, in the Rajshahi district of northwestern Bangladesh, suggests that such brutal punishments are still handed down in religiously conservative rural areas of the country.

In one of the most notorious cases, a 16-year-old girl who was raped was given 101 lashes in January for conceiving during the assault.

The girl’s father was also fined and was told that the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay. The 20-year-old rapist was pardoned.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has vowed to eradicate Islamic militancy, has warned of “zero tolerance” for Sharia punishments.


See, to me this just sounds like vigilante 'justice' and kangaroo courts. Punishments like caning and stoning apparently outlawed but still ongoing? While I do wish for more severe punishments for our criminals (say, a repeat rapist should get his organs cut off - and enough time in jail to think about it) I don't think that bloodthirsty repercussions like public whippings and crowds that are encouraged to throw stones and KILL someone would be any good. That's just a dangerous slippery slope.

There have been so many cases of Amnesty International appealing for women about to be stoned to be saved and the saddest thing about these cases is that in many, they've already been punished or lashed and that whether or not they are actually guilty of anything is so ambiguous.
It seems like no matter what these women do, they're screwed. Just like a Salem witch hunt. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don't want anything like this to come into our country. It should have been stamped out years ago, decades, centuries ago! The Crusades are soo yesterday guys, pay attention! Is is so hard to understand that driving into another society like a battering ram filled with anger and forceful religion is kind of a bad idea?
No one should be forced into religion. Except at Christmas. Okay, if you want presents and a holiday to celebrate, ho-ho-hop to it and convert. No one likes a sad little athiest crossing out 'Merry Christmas' and scrawling 'Happy Generic Holiday' underneath so they can join the party. Seriously, you don't believe in it? It's too commercial? Then stop it. Please. I would like my Christmas a little less insane.

Yes, that was a joke. Honestly though, it is a little silly to celebrate another religion's occasions when you spend all your time telling us how stupid we are. Hahaha.
Society makes you join in though, right? Right?


Adelaide Now:

Liberal Victorian senator Mitch Fifield yesterday also said immigrants needed to integrate with the community.

"Australians revel in diversity and embrace different cultures," he said, "but they expect people who come to Australia to sign up to mainstream values. You have to muck in with the rest of the community and not develop a sort of separate society.

"We need to heed the lessons of the UK where you have whole suburbs which are basically separate entities to the rest of the community.

"There are some interpretations of Islam which aren't healthy and aren't compatible with Australian values, such as sharia law."

That basically sums it up. I don't see the need for Sharia law in Australia. One law for all of us should be fine, and hopefully it'll be a law that won't let democracy die or let religion be forced on us. Sharia for the most part seems to be confusing and conflicting and it would only get ten times worse in the government's hands.

Fix the problems in your own backyard first before tackling your neighbour's garden.

Sunday, Lazy Sunday!

That's right. I have wasted my day off. Well, it was relaxing and I earned it but I would have much rather gone out and done something. Of course, schedule fail meant everyone else in the universe was out doing anything and everything else. (<-- proven fact. Really.)

I guess I'm kinda bummed about it. It's just so much radio silence. Am I the only survivor in this apocalyptic rave party? Well, if that was the case, I would hope so. I don't want no radioactive zombie gate-crashers. They are incredibly rude.

It's probably just me being over sensitive but I do find it annoying when people don't get back to you. Especially when it's on Facebook and you see that they've been on there playing games, and ignoring everyone. What's so hard about replying? If you don't know at the time, just say 'I'll get back to you' or 'Hells, I don't know' - what's so hard about that?

The way I was taught, when I was growing up is that you get back to someone ASAP. Maybe people don't have the same opinions as I do and in today's world I'm sure Facebook isn't exactly the cream of politey-ness. If you don't reply to me, or talk to me for ages, I will delete your dead space ass. Be sure of that.

Although it's funny, I deleted about ten people the other day, thinking none would notice or care and by the end of the day nearly half had tried to add me again. Why? So you can just sit back and watch me from the shadows? Had a dude who liked to think he was my boyfriend do that once, from every angle and social network. It's really not that good, and was kinda pathetic. (Kinda still means totally, right?)

The peace and quiet is, definately. I'm not looking to be the centre of attention, I don't care if nobody likes me status update. What I do care about is being heard when I'm trying to talk to you. You don't acknowledge it? You're rude, forgetful, or both. Either way, you've probably just lost a friend.

Sucks to be you.

Edit(ing )Mis-Chief

You know what bugged me most about the time that I was job searching? The massive incompetance owned by people with full time jobs. Why? I would despair. Why did you hire them, and not me?? I would actually look like I was enjoying the work, if not do it better!

Seriously, there is nothing worse than worrying about where the money's going to come from next and then at the shops or on the phone you get smacked in the face with someone who just couldn't care less about their job or customer service. Everything you've ever been told in your previous roles - don't chew gum, don't say 'whatevah' or 'is that it?', don't have outrageous hairdo's/tattoo's/piercings, wear the right uniform, don't text your boyfriend under... alright, or over the counter - they just didn't apply.

Then I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Someone also told me to stop playing on the train tracks of over used puns and cliches, but HEY obviously he didn't get anywhere by staying there and telling me that so here we go.

I COULD BE A WOMEN'S MAGAZINE EDITOR!!!

Now, don't scoff. We've come along way from the sexist stereotypes and stupid products and.. and.. bad advice... and it appears we've come full circle! That's a codeword for 'progress', kiddies.
I have mentioned that I will devour any reading material if it gets to close. Heck, I read *Twilight*. *TWILIGHT*. Why?! Well, I was kind of forced to do it, and I suppose deep down I just hoped it would get better. (Spoiler: it didn't. Holy crap, it was a train wreck I could have stopped by just shutting the book and walking away but I... just thought that maybe.. maybe the 'author' would realise the mistakes she was making and put them right..) ((Double spoiler: she didn't. She just negotiated movie contracts and filmed the train crashing.)) (((Wow, I'm still going with the train thing? I thought that ended a paragraph ago.)))

So at work in lunchtime, I might flick through one of these accursed women's magazine. Sometimes you can find interesting health facts or a good website, perhaps a movie review or a coupon of some description. Not really, that's false hope as those rags get patted down better than the cops.

The culprit: NW April 25th 2011
The crime: Making teh no sense.

Here's a hint. If you are going to devote an issue to facelifts and other surgical procedures, try and get your subject at the same angle both times. Yes, this involves pre-planning and potential time travel but it's worth it.
Don't just argue point blank that so and so's had another nose job when you give me one profile shot and one picture of the back of her head.

The next tip is something that could cancel out some of the body snark you encourage. You, madam, have given me three pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow. Above it, you have written 'The many faces of Gwyn' but below it I see a snap of her with dyed hair, some sort of candid shock photo and one smiling face at a premiere or something. What bothers me is that you are trying to tell me that she's had something done because of the differences. A blind person could have done a better job than you. Want to guess why? You're trying to compare a 'surprise face' photo with a relaxed smiling face one. Go on. Take some pictures of yourself looking the same way. Now, which one has more lines? Yeah, that's what I thought you frickin' idiot.

More on the body snark - why do you have to put a glamor photo next to a candid one and then tell us the star's hit the skids. Noo... she just doesn't live in make up and six inch heels and you're trying to make her feel bad for it. Same as those little candid snaps of a celebrity lost in thought that suddenly appear with huge words next to them screaming out 'depression!!'

All these insiders you find.. do they come from an agency? No, you don't fool anyone. Yes, there are lowlives that will dish dirt on people if they think they're going to pay them. People will hurl in famous people's closets if they think something good will come of it. Someone you meet on the street who doesn't even know who you're talking about can suddenly become an insider for financial gain. Or they could just be you, hiding your gossipy lies behind the cardboard cut out of the insider.

So yeah, this would be an ideal career if the celebrities stopped trying to sue you for the damages spread by your lies. It's hilarious though when you read the letters, your readers obviously take your crap for gospel.. which is actually kind of scary.

I don't understand why people read this trash on a regular basis. I don't care if someone's wearing a baggy shirt to cover a pregnancy or because they feel like a baggy shirt that day. It's pathetic and out of date in a week anyway. More people should read magazines that make sense, like MAD. Then maybe they would understand my sense of humour.

One can dream.

Screwed Review

Life for me at the moment is a quite.. can I say, comfortable mix of good and could-be-improved-a-lot. I'm not really one to complain. I can though, if you give me a chance. Certainly, I have my share of mental beef. Just sort of sifting through it at the moment, it's so much clearer to see after bits and dabs like, misplacing someone you thought cared about you.

All the time I tell myself, don't do (this) for (that person), they'll never do the same for you. But I can't stop myself, I want to be good, I want to keep those around me happy. So, yeah, it kinda makes me sad when you realise that someone who kept telling you that they were there to help, that they wanted the best for you, that they would do anything for you.... just wouldn't.

I still thought I would miss their company, I mean, I told them I would but to be honest, it's like they've fell off the face of the earth. This is my world, you just don't exist in it. Maybe someone thought you up once, but it was put in the bad ideas pile and never thought of again. I like it this way. I should have killed them off so much earlier.

Looking back on my life as a whole, I've always been kind of... out of it. Like I'm watching my story though someone else's life. I don't feel most of it. Now I'm wondering if that's actually just me, or if I'm actually going through depression, a bipolar phase or some sort of identity disorder.

I was told to look at some information about those, and at first glance these things seem to express the way I feel but I guess I'll need to look into it much deeper. Maybe face my fear of people and get help. I don't know. But I'm pretty good at coping, and I know I'll be fine.

When I'm with my Panda.. these things don't bother me.

Happy Bomber and the prisoner of Terrorban

I work some strange hours so sometimes news does escape me. Not that I'd want to be glued to the news channel or anything. So, last Friday was the Royal Wedding. That's cool... the random wedding parties and tiara bashes were a bit weird. I mean, if Wills and Kate aren't going to have a party when YOU get married, why do it for them? Yes, I know that's an unreasonable argument... Don't ya just love it?

Anyway I didn't watch it but I've heard from witnesses that it started at 4pm and eventually, when they realised it was still going strong at 10pm they dismantled their televisions. Or they could have just turned it off, I wasn't really paying attention. Of course everyone is milking it, but I didn't think it would be that massive. Probably got more screen time than disaster reports.

Everybody hates Ricky Nixon. I don't even know who he is, I refuse to follow any sport that only promotes men, encourages drunkeness, dominates my TV time and lets people who ordinarily shun fancy dress run around in stupid face paint. *breathes* Yeah, not a fan. I have heard of him though, imposible not to with the whole St. Kilda schoolgirl fiasco.

I just really have a hard time understanding what these people have problems with. Most of them are married, with kids, I'm assuming. They know there are cameras up their bums 24/7 on the offchance something they crap out might have something fascinating to tell the world. They probably have security following them around and aides, or whatever. So how do they all keep getting into these situations that makes the headlines scream rape, assault, drugs, underage, hotel room?

These are GROWN MEN. They should know better! What is this slap on the wrist bugger all nonsense about? Naughty, naughty boy! You're implicated in a crime! .......Stay off the field for a season or two. WTF?? If I pulled any of these shenanigans, it would, and SHOULD affect my work. Oh wait, I'm not in the sports industry! That's where I went wrong. My bad.

It bothers me because the fans of these people always favour the blokes. The victims/accusers are always made out to be skanks, groupies, vengeful cows of hate and prostitution only after the money. I don't know anything about it, for all I know they have got some false accusations - this is the kind of situation those things thrive in - but someone's side of the story shouldn't be tossed aside all the time because it couldn't possibly happen to your favourite sports star.

Anyway, what I was trying to get at was that this chump gave a confusing and strange interview about how he doesn't know how he got in that hotel without underwear, if there was drugs involved, he says certainly no sex involved, but there was phone communication and they have a lack of evidence apparently. You know, besides the video, photos, text messaging...
It just seems he's kinda digging himself a hole. Well, even more than before.

Osama bin Laden has forcibly kicked the bucket. I'm not really sure when this happened, I had a day or two of no internet, then I casually check my FaceBook and all anyone (and their mums) are posting is bin Laden jokes/comments. I'm like... OoooOOOOOoooookaaaaAAAAAaaaaayyyy......
Twitter is doing the same thing and I'm like 'Honey....I think something may have happened...' and the news confirms it. He's gone.

Articles and updates are breeding like rabbits. I found one or two interesting. One was a biography of the man himself, I hadn't known much about him, especially that he was from a rich and educated background before falling into the extremists camp. How come none of these came into much light before now? I suppose no one wanted to read it, it's easier to think of him as some villian in a cave, plotting, growing beards and making explosives because he can't comprehend how awesome we all are.

It must be great for the September 11 families to get some kind of closure, but like many are saying now to watch out for retaliation attacks and he's only been made into a martyr. The important thing to remember is that it's not just Muslims over there in whateveristan, anyone can be dangerous when they get that involved in their beliefs. I've read some horrible things that Christians write and I really don't get how anyone could believe, even think that their God would be that much happier with them if they killed some Westerners, homosexuals,  blacks, other religions. It's pathetic.

Speaking of pathetic, everyone's going on about the Logies. Whooo... the logies... Everyone else gets rate rises, tax increases, everything but the wage increase, and here's a bunch of 'celebrities' hamming it up in a new expensive outfit, eating like royalty, and getting statues that no one will even remember they got in a year's time.

All I can hear is Chrissie Swan! Karl Stefanovic! American musical acts, not an Australian one to be seen! Some comment about butts! Boring MC!

Yay? Who gives a rats!!
