this is just cool...

this photo of johnny cash doesn't really need anything written about it... it's like if you looked in the dictionary for the definition of cool then this is what you would find... cool photo... cool person... cool guitar... and cool half a guy in a suit in the mirror...

you're a tall c@#t aren't you?

so this guy comes up to me... and it has to be said, he's quite short... and he says "you're a tall c@#t aren't you?"... not sure how you respond to that... i guess i am, at least, tall... he then he goes on to to ask me if i play sport... when i said no he said "it really fucks me off when tall c#@ts like you don't play sport"... i was like "dude, i'm half blind and i can't fucking catch a ball to save my life"... and then i went on to tell him stories about my failed attempts to be a true new zealander, as i tried but failed to play both rugby and cricket, nearly killing and maiming myself in the process... i got cracked ribs playing both... it's not my fault i'm tall and i can't play sport and to be honest i don't really care that i can't play sport because i never really enjoyed playing it anyway... the guy walked away looking puzzled... possibly wondering how someone so tall could care so less about using his tallness to score points against an opposing team... possibly wondering how god could get it so wrong, by giving me the gift of height but not the power to catch run or jump... possibly wondering why he was so short changed in life... the way he looked at me as he walked away, it was like i had stolen something from him...

have a nice day

me and me mate... up for days working on a magazine... 60 pages in 4 nights... we needed a centre spread... he had some great ideas... he went to sleep... i managed to stay awake... this is what i came up with... never actually drawn a rainbow before this and it was actually quite a nice day after all all that...

betty lou's site for guitar underdogs

now betty lou's site for guitar underdogs is one of the coolest websites i've found with very easy to follow and very easy to play chords for heaps of great songs... i am not a 'musician' as such so a non-tech site like this is perfect for somebody like me... i am the ultimate guitar underdog... and theres no tablature in sight... the reason it's so easy is because betty lou is a ummmm ahhhh, okay, shes a dog... i love this site and the design is just brilliant...

the smasing pumpkins covering the beatles

this song kinda sums it all up really doesn't it?

i don't like kids with guns

i hate to see kids playing with pretend guns... it's one of my pet hates... even though i did it when it was a child and even when it seems like every boy over two years old seems to know how to pick up a stick and pretend to shoot with it... it's weird... but when i came across this image it made me smile... because there's another parent out there who likes to draw fake beards and moustaches and put sunglasses on their kids... i love doing that... not sure if i would have gone as far as to give him such a realistic looking gun to play with, as they have here, but hey i'll forgive them for the sake of such a great picture...

weird disease of the week

okay so this guy has gone to the smurf village and done something he shouldn't have with one of the smurfs and now he's paying for the consequences of his actions... he'd have to go home now and admit to his lover that he's had an affair with a smurf... i'm not sure if any relationship could last after such a betrayal...

either that or the evil sorcerer gargamel has used this guy as a test subject to try out this new potion he's invented that's meant to change you into a smurf... hoping that once he's changed himself into a smurf he can then infiltrate the village and turn all the smurfs against each other... so lucky for him he tried it on somebody else before he tried it on himself because it obviously ain't workin'...

i once came runner-up in a smurf story writing competition when they used to sell smurfs at the BP petrol stations in the 80's... i used to have quite the smurf collection i'll have you know...
