So far spending this week with my dad has been great. I thought I'd throw out what my days been like, since I really feel like talking to someone.
Today I've pruned/trimed/cut about 45 wheelbarrows worth of plants from the gardens here, added a heap of crap to the burning pile - which has been burning since yesterday, and hopefully will continue to burn all week - moved about 3 tonne worth of large bush rocks with said wheelbarrow and am now hoping to sit and watch some tv and pretend that I'm at home for a little bit.
I have been playing with petrol though which has been great fun. I love the WHOOSH as you throw it on a fire, and the way it russles bamboo with its rather nice fireball. I do still smell of petrol though, which could be good or could be bad.
I'm very very sore and bruised. Even though I'm loving it here with my dad, I kinda want to go home and have a hug.
I still haven't managed to cut firewood since I've been here so no fire in fireplace, rather chilly inside.
Tomorrow plan is mowing, painting, cutting a few more trees down and replacing a large post that helps hold up the verandah.
My muscles don't like me at the moment.

Throwing It Out Into The Interwebs
Monday night and I find myself drinking alone. Is that as sad and depressing as it sounds? I have learned one thing, Googeling old friends when your already feeling a bit down is not productive. They will invariably be successful and good looking and that will make you feel like a putz for even wanting to know what they were up to.
Other things that seem like they will help but don't really:
1. Vodka - this seemingly joy-making liquid will only enhance your bad mood.
2. Radiohead - they may speak to your soul when you feel low, but the depressing chord progressions are just that, depressing.
3. Cats - no, not the musical but the fuzzy kind. They may seem furry and deliciously comforting but when you are busy being self deprecating they are only shitfull, fat distractions.
Despite these three insightful points I shall continue to drink and listen to Radiohead and I won't bake the cats in a pie just yet.

I've been away too long.
I used to spend so much of my time here. I loved having a spot to vent, act superior and in general, post up whatever I wanted. I guess it was the closest thing to a home I would expect on-line. I keep telling myself that I'll get back to it soon, but so far, I've not been very successful. I'm not stupid enough to say that with this single post, all of that is about to change. Blasting out a bunch of linguistic tricks to satisfy my own narcissism was once a way of life for me, but that was when I had jobs that I cared little about or were so easy that I could spend a large portion of my day on-line doing as I pleased.
Still, the shortcut has never left my browser and here I am. Back after more than a year and feeling something half way between nostalgia and hope. Time to have some fun and the best way to do that here is to plumb the depths of my cynicism.
I'll be starting that process as I sleep and hopefully tomorrow will yield some interesting results.

I want more time to be scathing to others.

Rant!!!
Two years ago on my first day back at work I posted with the same above title.
My rant was simply that I was incredibly bored.
Two years have passed and it seems somethings remain constant. Again it is my first day back at work, while it is a different job the result is still the same. I am bored.
At least there is the silver lining that this year is going to be different. In ten days I will finally find out just how different exactly today will be.
this pleases me.
kahn out.

But What About The Coconuts?
Jonathan Corum has far to much time on his hands (come to think of it, so do I...) but for this I commend him. For was it not for his abundance of time, we might never have truly known The Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow

well well well, will ya looky here...
Hey, Crumples - back on the blog, been a while, hu?
I don't work now, so, you know, I don't have to fill my days with interwebs and small sculptures made out of paper clips.
I am fortunate enough to be ill. And I timed it nicely with Salems week off! So he and I have been eating corn fritters, smoking, and generally shooting the shit. That is when i'm not lying down in tiny agony from my freaking kidneys, this is when he trys to kill the robot, and guess what? he finally did it! Bravo Salem, bravo. Well, i think by the pain in my back, up time is over, i'm gonna go lie down with Snow Crash, probably fall asleep after 3 pages (damn it!) and wait till the beloved Kahn gets home and hugs me. YAY! Infact Frejak should hug me too. Not too low. Not. Too. Low.

First Annual Award for Cigarette Packaging Excellence
So here we are again for the first time at the First Annual Award for Cigarette Packaging Excellence. Give it up for the awesomeness that is the advertising genius of the death dealing cigarette companies!
First off, an honourable mention goes to... Skydancer Menthol's!
Not only do they taste like a cool mountain stream, they have one pictured right there on the front of the box! Way to go guys.
Kamel Reds came in at the bottom of the pack (get it? Pack... like a cigarette pack... ok shut up now). They have a wonderfully... eye catching redness about them. Yes... very good.
Moving right along, the lovely Sandia. They come in red, blue, green, light blue, light green... they just come in a fuck load of colours ok? They do have some nice mountains on them though, so they have that going for them.
Seneca... how the fuck do you say that? I don't know, do you? Who cares, they have more pretty mountains done in silver foil and that's really what we care about.
Desert Sun has the next pack of coolness. We like the cactus in the setting desert sun. Enough said.
The next is an old favorite in joke circles I'm sure, you know the name... Smokin' Joes! They have the most garish packaging we've ever seen and boy! Don't the kids just love 'em!
Tucson have a very nice look to them. Very Texas Ranger if you know what I mean (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Confused? Well that's ok. I don't get it either.
This is a little disappointing as Salem brand cigarettes didn't quite make it to first place. Still it does show that I'm not playing favorites here, they really do just have an awesome pack. Let's see what a pack of Crumples looks like huh? Yeah, that's right, Salems are the almost winner!
And the winner is.... Nat Shermans! Sure is lucky we didn't judge by name I suppose. Either way, they have the best pack around and the cigarettes that are held within are just as classy. Black with a gold foil filter! How good is that? Pretty fuckin' good is at least how good that is. I'm going to get some.
Ok, we do have one last treat for you. The "Most likely to kill you with just a single one of their unspeakable death sticks!" award. We found these hiding away in the back and at a massive 20.5mg per cigarette, they're sure to knock the air out of you. Not sure which end though. May just bust a hole right in the side of your rib cage. So you know, these are about twice the strength of our sponsored Davidoff classics. Hard hitting, you bet your peace-pipe smoking indians they are!
I hope you have all enjoyed this glimps into the wonderful world of cigarette packaging. Take care folks!
-Salem
How about we take a 5 minute break... smoke if you got 'em.

My thought for the day
Its 11:12pm, everyone else has gone to bed, the wonderful bundle of teething - still cute, i've just had a lovely j and looking at the view.
Anyone whos knows my parents place will know exactly where I'm talking about. Looking out my window I can see across the day bed. With the moon becoming fuller and a magical clear night, the night itself is lit with moonlight almost as clear as day. Due to the still freezing temperature and night moisture there is the most amazing mist bank in the valley.
To give a good idea of just how huge this mist bank is. If you're sitting on the day bed and look down the bottom of the cleared area at the tree line just down from the rise. That tree line is where the mist is starting.
It is so thick and heavy that it appears in the light that you could walk on it. Ever since I could remember I always believed that you could walk on it and it would take you to where ever you wanted to go. Its not hard to see there I read alot of fantasy when I was young. I only ever tried once, hurt alot .........and thats something completely different and not what I'm talking about right now.
So, theres the view I have at the moment. Absolutly gorgeous and I've loved it all my life.
Got me thinking how much I love my view of the city from the balcony at home. I'm truely fascinated by it and could sit for hours just looking at it.
Both views are very cool in their own way, yet I sit here wanting to be looking at the other.
Don't get me wrong, I've had fun and its been great to be with my folks. But I'd like to come home now.

Opa and Oma
Well today I found myself thinking of my departed grandparents. For obvious reasons actually as I saw them peaking out at me from a corner of the house.
Admittedly it was a little odd when I realised that my grandparents were hiding in a pillowcase next to the fireplace but hey, where else are they going to be I guess.
So for everyone else I'd like you to meet my Opa and Oma in their current home - the pillowcase.

Its damn cold
Sometimes I wonder at my own intelligence.
I have a week off work and where do i decide to spend it? In Coramba at my folks place where this morning it had an inch of frost and its now 6 damn degrees outside.
Random thoughts of perhaps Frejak you could have spent this at home where you can chill out in less than 3 layers of clothes and then at night instead of having to have so many blankets that you can't actually move in bed you could curl up with warm boyfriend? But no I have to go to somewhere nice and chilly.
However there is a good side. The fires on, my dad and myself picked a bucket of macadamias off the tree and have been sitting in front the smashing the nuts open, eating them and then throwing the shells into the fire. Watching my tiny little newphew have a stare off comp with the fish, its an oscar and the last of three. I think it ate the others. Still no clear winner on that one yet. I'm not quite certain what my mum and sister have been doing, they've been doing something but whatever it doesn't make sense to me.
Mainly I've been sleeping in front of the fire.
Oh yeah and I made my newphew cry. How you ask? On the drive down this morning, he woke up when we got the the gold coast and heard me mumbling along to Static X. He must have recognised my voice cause hes looked over at me with eyes wide and a smile. Stopped, looked at me and burst into tears.
Real nice at 8am. Evidently he doesn't know me with orange hair. Doesn't know me ???? He's 4 months old. He doesn't really know anyone yet.
So theres my excitment for the day and now at least my fingers are kinda warm from typing so thats a good thing. And that as far as I'm concerned is worth it.

The Dude Action Figure
"What's the one thing that's been missing from your life? Please, take a moment to think about it. Really spend a couple minutes dissecting what you've been doing with the last five years of your time on this Earth and figure out it what it is that preventing you from reaching total fulfillment."
You know you want it.
You know you want it.

Spiderman tattoos and why they're awesome...
Well, I'm a Spiderman fan. Not so much of the movies (although I did enjoy the first one), but the comics have always entertained me. I've even got a few classic collectible ones. I think the most fan-boy-esque Spiderman possession is a very cool Spiderman baseball jersey. With all that though, there is no way I could ever beat this guy. His tattoos are a statement of love that I could never hope to match. Take a look:
Now that is a hardcore fan right there, let me tell you! If you want more info, take a look here.

I've finally down-graded from fan-boy to fan. Thank god for tattoo freak!

Vodka & Pepsi
I really wish that's what I had in my Pepsi bottle but I don't. All I have in there is Pepsi. Pepsi and my own distilled rage. Turns out that I hate my new boss (let's call him 'The Mumbler') and I want him dead. I'm kind of hoping that I can hate him to death, but I have a back up plan in case that doesn't work out.
I'd like to encourage all our readers to send in any spare parts from your dooms-day devices, world destroying lasers or spare chemical-warfare toxins to me so that I can try and cobble together some kind of contraption that would end this soul-crushing agony. Seriously, I'd be forever in your debt.
This morning I came in feeling optimistic, after a great weekend, I thought today would be good. Of course I was deluding myself. I can't even get a simple "Good Morning" out of The Mumbler before he starts pissing me off. I'm starting to no longer care which one of us dies as long as it stops the pain.
