Liam aka LittleRadge

After I wrote a blog ages ago re going back in time to talk to your younger self (See entry called: Eight year old self) I wrote an e-mail to a YouTube user I’d been checking out from time to time called Littleradge. I’d stumbled across his blog long before I discovered he was a superstar on youtube. Anyway I e-mailed him asking if he’d be interested in doing a video re going back and giving your younger self some advice. Liam did this video yesterday and in his little blurb mentioned my user name on you tube. Over night the video views for my channel increased by 1,000 hits!



This young man is an extremely talented individual and from my brief correspondence with him he’s polite also. A quality essential to not only move forward, but to be respected in society today.

So I’d like to say thanks to Liam (Littleradge) for listening to a suggestion from a total stranger who doesn’t have a following at all on YouTube (which isn’t really that important) Taking that suggestion and making something out of it. Which by the look of the hits / comments on his YouTube site and also his blog is turning out to be quite a phenomenon.

That’s all I’ve got

Edited entry

I started to write a entry about my relationship with Mr X (See entry called Not Happy Jan) in this entry I wrote about how our relationship has changed since those now infamous words.

When I re-read over it... I hit Crtl A then Delete.

Basically I miss him and his friendship and I hope in time he will be at a place where he can see that whilst I love him, I'm not in love with him - He still means the world to me though.

That's all I've got

Back away from the Vegemite! *Updated*

It would seem that some over paid politician in Canberra has decided to try and remove Vegemite from our shelves as it’s too salty! For fuck sake… Vegemite is an Australian icon – even if it’s manufactured in the US. When international visitors come to Australia they want to see Sydney harbour’s landmarks – the bridge, the opera house etc. If they are lucky they hauled arse on the ferry to Taronga Zoo so they could see Kangaroo’s and Koalas. Whilst they visit Australia they will no doubt try Vegemite, generally put far too much onto their toast / bread / sao and think it taste like shit which it does if you put too much on!

For some politician however to try and ‘remove it’ from the shelves because it contains too much salt – fuck off and get a life! Go out and find something else to berate like cigarettes or fucking fireworks! Or better still put your time and effort into supporting something like the much needed revamp of the health system in Australia, or sorting out some housing for the homeless, put a system in place to help with the astronomical rent prices that are causing the ‘youth’ of Australia to stay in their parental homes longer as they can’t afford to move out into a share house with 12 of their mates sleeping 4 to a room cause they can’t afford to pay the $1,500 a week in RENT!

Taking away Vegemite would be like taking Haggis from the Scottish, Hotdogs from the Americans or Maple Syrup from the Canadians! I mean it’s fucking not on!

I say back the fuck up and step away from the Vegemite you political fuckers. Go shine your seat at my tax paying expense and sort out something a little more important with your time, like better pay for Nurses than ‘too much salt’ in Vegemite

**NB I punched this out in under a minute so Meh to the typos, shitty grammar and fucked punctuation.

***UPDATE***
I wrote a comment about Vegemite on a user called robofillet's youtube site. He then incorporated that comment I made into a video about Vegemite Click here to see the video. Which I think is awesome! (Thanks Rohan) However it highlighted my pathetic spelling ability that is now out there for millions to see :P Clearly I just love the letter S quite alot it flows so well onto the end of the word remove to make it removes!! *lol* Thank god my 'real name' isn't anywhere near this site or youtube!

That’s all I’ve got

Oooo look what I found

I want to buy this shirt!



I just randomly found this site and I found this one and a few others highly amusing. I want to wear it to any one of the three writing classes I have this semester. I'll defiantly wear it to Moya's class after she confused the hell out of me in 1st semester about how my prose was confused with nouns, adverbs, adjectives and some other confusing words. I think I depressed her when I told her that I don't know the difference between adjectives, nouns or adverbs! They are just words to me that flow out of my mind into my fingers and onto the keyboard. I never stop to think ohh does this pronoun complement this adjective!?! Because I don't have a clue what they are!

I can still see her face. One of shock and disbelief. What can I say - it's all just words to me.

That's all I've got :)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Yeah four days late what can I say… I've no excuses. I do however have a total new respect for Britney Spears… Seriously!! Or maybe it’s just that her song “Circus” is what gets *all* the girls up on the dance floor and allows for random snogging :) I’m going with the abundance of tongue action for my new found respect for Britney :P

So new years has come and gone. I managed to dance with various women whom I have no clue what their names are and three random snogs. So overall a good nite. :) Though the city does open you up for more opportunity for a win on I have to say. I miss Brisbane and well I'll move back there as soon as I finish Uni and get a job.

The big news buzzing around the net today is one Mr Matt Smith. The new Doctor Who though we won’t see him in the role until 2010 so I’m still not sure why they revealed him so early – maybe so the BBC had the say on when he was announced instead of it leaking in the press. I think he looks quite nice. Got Tennant’s hair which is a plus and well it isn’t Rhys Ifans! *Thank fuck* I’m sorry but when I heard that Rhys was a possible contender for the role of the 11th incarnation of The Doctor I was just *groan* Rhys played a great role in Notting hill as Hugh Grants dodgy flatmate – I found his performance fit the role well. However as The Doctor I just think he would have been shithouse and I went as far to make the statement on a Facebook group I’m in to say if Rhys was to get the part I’d not watch it as I couldn’t face watching the bloke massacre the role – I’d be waiting for him to jump out of the door with his ‘blood’ t-shirt on!


On a totally different note – a very good friend of mine has been put onto life support after an operation he had last week – Early indications seem to be he’s got septicaemia (Blood poisoning) Because I’m not family I can’t visit. His mum is keeping me updated. I just hope he pulls through this as he’s far to young to die.

So as the internet goes into Matt Smith hysteria.

That’s all I’ve got.

Christmas and a rant

So Christmas has come and gone - it was non eventful as we celebrated it early whilst my brother and his family were home so the 'day' was spent just lazing about escaping the heat.

However I received some great gifts 'early'

Season 4 of Doctor Who on DVD
Season 1 & 2 of Skins
Some books :

Scheisshaus Luck - Pierre Berg
Reading the Holocaust - Inga Clendinnen
The Writers Tale - Russell T Davies and Ben Cook

Plus the usual clothes :)

My rant though is about text speak. Ok - Text speak R U there will b L8 etc etc is designed for an SMS text messaging service over a mobile / cell phone network to enable to you relay your message in the quickest amount of time with the least amount of characters. What SHITS me is when people comment on blogs, youtube channels etc using the aforementioned text speak.

Nothing screams 'uneducated moron' or 'lazy' more than when I see people leaving comments on other peoples site in text talk when the little comment box is enabled to allow the person to write complete words! I'm not fussy on the punctuation. I mean I'm the last person to comment on others punctuation and or spelling ability! However is it that hard to write a full word out like

I think your video is great instead of I tnk ur vid is gr8t

Urg!!! Maybe it's a sign I'm either
a) Getting old or
b) I am OLD!

The English language is a wonderful tool that enable us to communicate and express ourselves. Why waste it by shortening it and murdering it when it's not on a mobile phone!?!

Rant over
That's all I've got :)

Poxy eye

I often wonder how you can go to sleep and the next morning wake up with an ailment of some sorts, almost like the ‘ailment police’ got your number whilst you were sleeping and decided to cash in on it. I’ve woken up this morning with a poxy eye. I’ve got conjunctivitis or ‘pink eye’ depending on where you are in the world. It sucks a lot. It’s currently only in my left eye – however this stuff spreads – so it will be in both before to long. I’m struggling to see out of it, discovered whilst out that I really shouldn’t drive! As my vision is impaired – even typing this I’m struggling to see what I’ve written on the screen.. The chemist gave me some drops for it well not ‘gave me ‘ I had to pay for them. The drops sting when putting them in – if the conjunctivitis doesn’t affect my vision the acid drops I’m using to cure them will.

So thanks to the ailment police (A relative of the Karma police) I’ve got conjunctivitis for Christmas which is contagious- WOOOHOOO no extended family (i.e the cousins on my mum’s side whom I can’t stand) to annoy me as they will steer clear of me in case they may get infected :)

Looks like Christmas just picked up for me – poxy eye and all!

That’s all I’ve got

Happy Christmas
