What Ya Doing At The Weekend?

So, it's the weekend what are you up to?
I will tell you what i am doing.
That's where i am going tonight, a talk by Gail Dines and i'm so excited.

I just think this woman is amazing. You can check out one of her websites here. I watched a couple of her youtube videos and she's pretty awesome. If you are interested in this this is another great website www.antipornography.org, its got heaps of resources on it.

Last weekend i checked out the Handmade Show in Oakleigh, Melbourne, to see what my friends were up to there. Pretty cozy venue with a little stage and velvet curtains. I also got to take a picture of this ..rabbit. First i thought it had little boobs but we got corrected pretty quickly by the little artist herself. Those are paws of courz! Didn't you hate that when you were a kid and people didn't know what they were talking about? I sure did.

Cute!

Ok, a picture of my friend Kerri of Vintage Sew And So. I'm afraid she is gonna bite my head off when she sees it, coz she looks a bit angry in it. But she is really a nice lady. She brought her teenage daughter along too. Lucky for her her daughter is really sweet, at that age some girls are lying in a drug induced coma in the street gutter. I won't name any names..
Anyways, that's Kerri and her stall..(my camera is pretty crap with indoor lighting, so this is the only half decent picture).

Love those polka dotted buntings..

Yeah, normally i just loiter around the streets of Melbourne on my weekends.. Last time i ran into this guy.. Dunno, maybe that's what these Melbournians consider to be art/culture? It's fuckin scary!

 

So what you doing? Are there any things you'd like to see or try?

 

Just a little bit disturbing or is it not?

Got a couple of videos i found on my journey on Youtube last night.

First one is about Swansea Junkies, Swansea as in Wales. I always forget about Wales. Or that it is part of the U.K. I remember Ireland and Scotland of being somewhere around there. And i've even been there, to Cardiff to be exact, i liked it, probably coz i visited some of my friends there. No junkies, just a whole bunch of Queers.



Next one is NOT for the faint hearted! There are some GRAPHIC IMAGES in there, so please if you are sensitive to such matters don't watch the video.
It's about the Body Farm, an anthropological research facility of the University of Tennessee. Basically they got a whole bunch of donated(by the people who died) bodies lying around there under all sorts of different conditions, so they can measure the decay.. well you get the picture..
I found it watching some German videos, but the only English one i could find was quite graphic, i still think it is really interesting.



I love the next trailer, it's from a German movie called "Zeit zu gehen"which means "Time To Go"(there are no words in the trailer). I haven't watched the movie, but it it shot in a hospice, which is basically a place where people go to die.

The film is made by Anita Natmeßnig who is a physiotherapist and coach and her website is quite appropriately titled "Time to live -now".
Which i completely agree with, we definitely should appreciate life more and accept death as a part of it.
I think the trailer is so extraordinarily sweet and touching. I think everyone should have to opportunity to die in peace and with people around who care.



Talking about junkies this one is just plain funny. Love that Little Britain character, not my favourite part of it, but nevertheless funny!



And this one is just a random clip about geeks and it is PRETTY AMAZING!!
Love it when people get really good at (random) shit!



Ok, that's it for today, if you got some crazy shit video leave it in the comments. Hope you enjoyed the post.

Random Rant

Always good.



Why do some people jizz their pants over finding a microbe on mars, but have no respect for indigenous tribes they find in some rainforest.

We are always looking out in space for someone to give us the answer. But really if they are weaker then us we just gonna fuck them over, invade their planet and exploit their resources. That’s what we do on our own planet so why should we have respect for anyone elses?!

And if they are more intelligent then us, i almost, but not really, wish they would fuck us over, like the West has done it so many times with other cultures and countries.



Watch this film about the storage of nuclear waste. It's really good, kind of philosophical. I'm totally against nuclear energy it's unnecessary, corrupt and totally unevolved.

(EDIT: Just wanted to say that this film is really cool, one question it asks is how can we communicate to future generations in 1000's of years time how dangerous nuclear waste is and that it's disposal sites shud be left untouched. I can't find the whole feature in one youtube clip, but you can watch it in 5 parts here.)



This clip is very interesting, 2 weeks old, but ongoing issues. It's scary what so called democratic governments are up to.

Human beings think they are so smart and superior to anything else on the planet, but really we are the most self destructive and destructive in general, thus the most stupidest, because we got the resources and could be living the good life, but chose not to.

Too Many Mutha Uckers Ucking With My Shi-

Finally i got my computer back, after 2 weeks!!!
Jeezus, well, im not saying its Apple's fault, but im definitely glad to have it back.

Its weird to not have your computer for 2 weeks, i used my man's, but thats not the same, all my links and shit is on my own. On the other hand it was a nice change, coz it made me wanna be even less on the internet and the man's computer is also uncluttered from my own shit, so i got a bit of a breather.

UHM, COMPUTER AND MY NEW FAVOURITE MUSIC CLIPS AND STUFF

Hey guys, i hope everybody is well!:)

My computer nearly died a couple of days ago, now im very sad.:(

Coz i cant use it and have to sneak on my man's laptop whenever he leaves the house and i will prob have to buy a new one.

And my car played up again this week, but i got a pretty good mechanic and it wasnt Too expensive. What i also like about that guy is that he always tries to explain to me whats wrong and shows me the faulty parts, to me, who has no understanding of cars whatsoever apart from that u have to put water and petrol into them.

But im not stupid and things start making sense to me! ha ha

Anyways, computer issues in what form so ever shud be pretty familiar to all of us. Coz we rely a big deal on them. And i never *cough* do any backups or such things.

Thats why i wanna use my blog more for backups of my favourite youtube clips.

Nobody really seems to like my clip posts(apart from Alanna), which i cant really understand coz i LOVE funny/interesting/cool videos. But whatever, normally i bookmark them, but i cant bookmark anything on my man's computer or my head is going to explode from the messiness!

I came across some really nice new music lately by accident(dont we all love that), its all kindof modern folky, the first one is a bit punky too(And its my favourite; 'Low'(Monkey), this band is is so cool and they get a 100% for looking cool and a great video too)

Then we have Fleet Foxes(White Winter Hymnal) i think they are pretty popular right now, i watched a lot of clips of their tv appearances; and i think they are sweet, u dont get a lot of sweet bands anymore. So well done on them. Lovely video too, reminds of the stuff i used to watch as a kid.

Then we got 'Iron and Wine'(Boy with a Coin) i really like the sound of this one and i like the dancing, but not of the red lady, whats with that big skirt being in the way?:P

And then my alltime favourites in crazy stupidity 'Flight of the Conchords'(Ladies of the World) a kiwi band who is just funny.

Dont u just think that video is HOT?!:D

BLOODY INTERNET + FUNNY WOMEN

Ok, i have to say its all Amy's fault, she has to take the blame!

To show me one of the funniest female comedians i have seen in.., well im not even sure WHEN ive seen one the last time!

Unfortunately, she showed us(our team) that clip in the morning and there was no going back to my "normal" "routine" after that; i had to click thru more then half of that women's videos.

Now, i put some funny videos of guys on this blog before(people never really seem to like videos on blogs; i got no ideas why, coz i freakin love them), but there dont seem to be many funny women out there, especially not many i know off that actually take the piss out of stupid gender stereotypes, in a very clever and entertaining way.

If u know any PLEASE LET ME KNOW, i got very low expectations, just try.

Alrighty, have a nice evening and day everyone!:)

THE STORY OF STUFF

Hi!
So i was talking to a couple of people and posted in the etsy forums about business ethics and over-consumption and i got quite interesting responses from people.
Quite a few of them send me a link of a little video clip called "The Story Of Stuff" and they seem to rather like it, i watched it and i think its quite informative and gives an overview of the consumption situation in todays society.
SO, i thought i put it on my blog!

Here it is, enjoy!

a bit of fry and jay z

This is just so bloody hilarious, you have to check it out!

Creepy Weird!

i found her in the abyss of youtube

they are amongst us!

hey, what about this guy?

TECHNO VIKING
Give it some time he is really worth watching! i watched it like 12 times and i totally crack up everytime!!!

Pink Floyd

I love Pink Floyd, i know they are old 70's rockers, but hey, they made good music and their lyrics are acctual really good and quite critical, like 'The Wall', i mean what band writes a song about how crap and traumatising the school system is?!!
i hated school, 12 years down the fuckin drain! and what do i get for it?! those idiots cud have tought me how to fucking read and write and some basic maths in bloody 3 years!!
i wud have rather learned something productive, like how to deal with difficult people, how to run a business and how to find the fucking meaning of life!
Well, im on my own now. Well, almost:)
okay,
i absolutely terribly love this one! when i was 16 years old i bought myself some guitars and tried to learn it. it fucking didnt work out! its so difficult, i think i figured out the feeling of the song better then the technique.. and i had the worst fucking guitar teacher ever, who really got stuck with me on this one..
and i still love it!


this one is lovely too,
i like the lyrics of so many of there songs!


this one is nice too,
look at the setting! its awesome, out of this world!


hey i tried to upload o playlist here, how wud i do that??
its part one of 4 they are all awesome, ive got them running in the backround while im working!!
