Everytime I log onto facebook I lose 10 iq points. Or, I just shake my head at all the stupid inane status's I am reading, wondering "What sort of reaction did they want, and what is the emotion behind that status?". Ones that sound like they should make sense, but they have no reasoning behind them at all. Often I want to refute them in one fail swoop, but even though I am right they probably won't get it (otherwise why did they right it to begin with) and think I am just picking and choosing for the sake of my ego. Really it's to remind people as a SOCIETY to think about what they are saying and make an example of what NOT to do.
I only do this because from my perspective, I'd rather be insulted for one minute than go around being a douche bag for my whole adult life and never knowing why I'm always single and have no friends. But most people don't see it that way. So I'm doing it behind their sorry backs.
Sometimes I imagine if I was hanging out with the person and they said the exact quote to me, how would I respond? Does anyone else fantasize about what they wish they could say if people weren't so touchy?
Here are some on my page right now:
hate zoning out on the train only to realise I've jus listen to the entire Lady gaga album stupid iPhone By a Dude.
if you're embarrassed... why post the comment in the first place..?? To be embarrassed as to blame the Iphone, just avoid the situation all together and don't post anything. Why not avoid excuses all together and just listen to lady gaga without posting it on facebook? Unless this is a ploy to engage whether or not it's acceptable amongst your peers.
too many girls with red hair these days... reminds me of the platinum blonde hair epidemic By a Redhead.
1. What "Epidemic"? It's called a trend. Plus, it's a hair color. We have roughly 4 choices.
2. You don't own it.
3. There is way more variations to a person other than hair color, so don't freak out too much that you're going to "Blend in".
4. I would be more concerned with the common trait you have with other girls that "Other girls can't wear my outfits, have my phone cover, or have my hair-do", a lot more than the hair color similarity. Guys tend to notice your personality more.
5. Apart from all of that, I wouldn't say that Platinum Blonde is exactly everywhere right now. I think brunettes are much more prevalent.
6. You're not exactly going to have a case of mistaken identity are you? If you are, you need to stop being so superficial... it's a fucking hair colour! It's not who you ARE.
7. The trend will pass, then you can make another status update claiming the "Throne" of redheads because you stuck with your red hair and everyone will know who the true redhead really is and give you the praise you deserve.
I wish a boy would ask me out to a movie and a retro diner" followed by "I am so lonely...why are all the decent ones taken?"
etc etc.
farrkk,you need to ask? stop before you hurt yourself. Secondly, don't imply to all your coupled-up pals that you wish you were with their boyfriend. The decent ones are not all taken, and if they are taken it's probably by girls who don't make posts like
that.
We do what we need to. plus more by some random part time DJ.
Who? what? when? We don't care and aren't going to stress over you're subtlety's as though you're famous. Get over yourself.
who are you. who cares.
My thoughts exactly, about you. Weird how it applies for other but not you..
working hard. Working hard. New things. New things.
Yeah obviously... you're on face book instead of doing shit. Get on with it and shutup. Why do you ask for our input on everything?
You're not consistent. We are.
Plain. Simple.
Big things. Big ideas.
I don't know who he keeps talking to... some unknown rival DJ crew? I don't know, but I feel like he thinks he lives in Step Up 3D. Yeah big ideas man, your perspective is so big it extends all the way through the Perth DJ scene which basically runs the city doesn't it? If you become King DJ you will become King of Perth, and then maybe even the world ! Who knows how high you will fly.
my poos have been so stinky lately? probs because i have been sticking so many things up there :/
Doctor doctor get this DJ guy OFF THE MEDS they are not working to his benefit. I never knew that constant, sober, uninhibited anxiety actually existed. The most inane, stupid yet serious, awkward and irrelevant updates are from this person. I don't know when he's joking and when he's for real.. but I think he may be a little off. Ok this post has just targeted people so socially retarded that I feel bad for them, and with that the point is made !

Too Easy - A Guide to Clubs
Perth is a small capital city. The population is so small that we don't have 24 hour shopping, we don't even have a Starbucks.
The nightlife operates on the same small scale, mainly because business sucks. In order to make money, the nightlife caters to the target demographic, which also happens to be the majority.
You won't find anything unique or new, but if you wanna get your bits wet you won't have to go very far.
Besides, having fun is what life should be about! Just make sure you also keep your wits about you, because these days with the internet and all you never know who is watching. People like me, who blog stuff.
Be grateful I am a fellow Gen-Y and not your grandma, boss or girlfriend's dad. Could be awkward.
...Easy there tiger, I know there's a camera there but maybe the photographer enjoyed this a little too much.
Getting There:
If you want to get laid, try to plan ahead, find out where the action is happening and even be-friend some easy looking people on face book, that's always a good place to start.
Browse the promotional material and see where all the attention seekers lurk.
At the Club:
To really get into the thick of things, keep some drugs on you to pass around when things aren't moving fast enough.
Be careful of camera's, because you can look like a slut after 14th photo of you creeping over a multitude of different bodies in the space of two hours. I don't know if the photographer was masturbating in the club and following you, or if you were playing sexual musical chairs, but it doesn't look good either way.
Of course if you want this to be your "thing" and get the word out on the street that you enjoy the creepshow, then go for it.
Just remember the internet. Photos are public property.
One or two naughty ones of you chewing your face off is ok amongst the rest, but do you really want to start a pattern here? It could really haunt you later. Or your dad. Or your family. Or employers. Or future in-laws. You know.. just be careful.
Just because they work at a club, doesn't mean they aren't predators. Basic common sense for preventing date rape shouldn't fly out the door the minute you get your hand stamped
technology can be your friend, or your foe. To make it your friend, be-friend common sense. Ask yourselves such questions as "How many people have the internet?" future in-laws and prosecutors should all be considered before you select Upload.
Unfortunately once things are out there, they stay out there.

Summer by Perth's Coastline, WA
So it's finally September, and the anticipation of Summer has already hit Perth.
That penetrative blanket of dry heat makes you feel more relaxed, the days get longer, we wear less clothing, the skies are clearer and brighter, and more dehydration happens, but generally everyone is happier because we all get holidays and more parties to attend!
Living right on the coastline of the city I have never had a bad summer in WA, it gets a 5 star review every time, but summer can bite your ass if you aren't careful.
We might be supple, young and healthy but we are NOT invincible. Especially if you are white like me.
- Avoid Dehydration! Especially at festivals, and during the day, and when you are drinking/drugged out. Having your muscles ache and you brain shrinking in your head fucking hurts! I'm serious, it can really ruin a great day and you won't even know why you are dizzy or moody.
- Wear lots of SPF. Heat feels good but UV rays are bad. If you are hispanic or olive skinned you are not black and the rule still applies! You will still look like a leather handbag later.
Have you seen the skin color of Native Aussies? That is how we are supposed to be. If you have that much melanin, then you should be okay, otherwise our genes aren't ready for it and you need to protect yourself from the sunlight fires. You are not black if you are Latino, Spain's weather is no where near as dangerous as the heat in Australia.
- Moisturize! This is not as important and SPF, but at nighttime try to use a rich moisturizer especially on your face. The air is very dry in Australia, more so than most countries. It's great for keeping hairstyles and makeup in place (You will have a rude Back-to-Basics awakening in Tropical Climates) but you need to condition your hair a shit load (leave it on your hair) because salt and wind snaps it off. Unless you want to be frizzy haired and red-faced you need to have some rehab time replace the oils in your hair and replace the oils in your skin. Shea butter, coconut oil, avocado, whatever the hell you can find to make a wash-off mask out of. There is NO excuse.
- Get enough sleep. Coffee dehydrates you also so don't compensate! Swap coffee for water & something hydrating like green tea. Green tea works wonders for hydration and doesn't give you ''comedowns'' (If you have sleeping/energy problems, get some meds from a doctor or trusted friend to help you out).
- Have down-time. Your social timetable will probably be packed with things to do, however try to limit yourself. Drinking and exhaustion will catch up with you, and you will be a frazzled broken mess. Before you try to please everyone else by saying yes to every invite, quit being so anxious and please YOURSELF. Stay in at least 3 days a week or something. Eat well, go to the gym to burn of the alcohol, de-clutter your head and get a hobby or do something educational so you have more going on in your head than partying. You will be more interesting to talk to and much more chill. Being the Constant Drunkard doesn't always equal Social Butterfly.
SORT YOURSELF OUT>>
SKIN:
Look at your skin, eyes and general pigment.
Australia is generally a white population. English, East-Europeans, Asians, Latinos be warned too, we are all white! You might be Spanish, but I promise you that Spain is no where near as harsh a climate as the desert island that is Australia, have respect for the climate and your skin.
If your human body evolved in the Northern Hemisphere for thousands of years before your family migrated to a desert, your skin is going to take a few hundred generations to adapt. It's just common sense. You might live here but your body isn't actually right for the climate, and you want to stay young looking for as long as you can!
Fake tans, hair dye and other decorations shouldn't make you forget your TRUE pigment levels. People do get spray tans and forget to wear SPF. Even if you are actually tanned (from white), that is a sign of skin damage.
Most of us including myself, are naturally fair despite whatever makeup or hair dye we might use. Makeup doesn't protect your body from UV rays. DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND. NOW? Load up on SPF.
CLOTHING:
Minimal clothing, but keep it tasteful. Try to cover up your upper body when you can, like if you are sitting in the sun for long periods of time. Your neck, face and arms are targets for UV rays. Use breathable fabrics obviously, and stuff that is easy to move in (tight= suffocated pores). Same goes for shoes. Girls are lucky because we have lots of choices with shoes. Then again guys are lucky because their legs seem to always look really good in shorts even if they don't work out or diet.
As for parties (and clubs) girls still need to remain very careful of short hemlines and tops that might fall down. If you want to relax and be merry you don't wanna be worried about your outfit all night.
The key thing about little clothing is that a fit body looks good in everything, and so you'll waste less time deciding what to wear. More time at the gym, less time wasting money on clothes because you feel anxious.
Exercise also makes you feel really good because it gets new blood flowing quickly around the body and into the organs, releases feel-good brain chemicals, reduces stress and anxiety by wearing you out, increases general energy and endurance levels, can actually cure depression and gets rid of pollutants and toxins through the skin.
TECHNOLOGY:
Cultivate technology! Imagine what it would of been like a hundred years ago working on a rail road in the desert and cooking into beef jerky. No ipods, no sunscreen or vitamin water. It's not like that now, so be grateful and get on it.
Manufactured electrolytes, air-conditioners, hair conditioners, SPF, unlimited water, shade, sunglasses, light fabrics and other chill out essentials that white people can use to make summer in a desert the most ideal summer ever! We can cope better with heat using the help of all these things, and have way more fun.
CROWDS:
Be wary of massive crowds in summer. A lot of festivals happen and a lot of people attend. Most of them are rowdy and drunk or on stimulants, and if you have a small body size like me then 90 percent of those people are going to be slightly or significantly larger than you. You will get shoved, crushed, and won't be able to see anything. I actually hate crowded, hot places. Mainly because I can't breathe, I need to grapple my male counterparts to get their attention yet fight the groping of unwanted attention, and my face reaches other people's upper bodies so having many random people accidentally brush sweat against my face is a pretty disgusting thought. You are likely to be thirsty and dizzy, and if you do manage to stay quenched then you will be waiting in line for the porta-loo a lot. Who spends hundreds of dollars on tickets, transport, clothes, drugs, food and beverage to wait in a queue for half a day? Not me. It's a wonderful business idea of course, you'd make a shit load of money. But as a consumer I don't buy into it. Parties are more my thing.
If someone is in your way in a crowd, firmly but slowly push them to the side and if they don't move fall into them and act like someone pushed you.
Dealing with guys; If you are small like me you can be pretty forceful because when the person sees you after you shove them with both hands they realize they can't do anything.
Dealing with girls; Don't be rough with girls in case the girl is crazy, just use affection to move them, like touching their waist or something when shifting them. Always be nice and smile so they know you respect their space and you just need to get by. Don't shove girls because they might pull your hair or something.
But generally try to avoid all places where there will be hair pulling girls and guys who spill beer over your head.
If you are like me and plan to be living and still going out to social events into old age looking more like Sharon Stone or Michelle Pfeiffer than the old lady from "There's Something About Mary", then stop thinking you are an Amazon King or Queen and above all this stuff. You can't see wrinkles yet but they are going to slap you in the face really soon if you don't look out. You also don't want to poison your body with too much shit or wear yourself out by not getting enough sleep or drinking enough water. It's not just about preservation of your youth of course, it's just general overall health and keeping energy levels and moods up.
