Oh Hello...

Oh hello...

I hear it's traditional to create a 'Welcome' post when you first start a blog so that people know what they're getting themselves into when they start reading. I suspect it's really to help keep the writer on track so that they don't get lost along the way and fill it with miscellaneous crap. Well, at least the miscellaneous crap that shouldn't be on the blog.

This blog was named after a phrase that I hear too often in the bureaucratic world I currently work in. It's misused and overused and I feel sorry for it. This is my way of saving it, although I will probably hurt it harder than any egotistical middle manager before me.

If you are my current manager, then this is a hobby that I work on in my spare time.

If you are not my current manager, then this is a way for me to cope with a tearfully boring job. It's a means to be productive during the work day and create something that will help me re-connect with my first 3 loves: reading, writing, being a smart-arse.

I don't quite know what this will be filled with yet. There will be links and pictures and posts. Pretty standard really. 

We'll see what happens. It can be an adventure.

This post is dedicated to Coco. She is a little dynamo.

I know we’ll get sick of vuvuzuela jokes one day, but today is not that day.

Swear to god, this will be the only vuvuzela post. Unless something even more hilarious comes along.

GOAL!

Holy shit! New Zealand scored a goal!

I'm sure I'm not the only person in NZ who's surprised.

WELL DONE BOYS!

I'm loving the fact that football is finally getting an audience in NZ. I'm not a rugby fan, so this pleases me greatly.

Yeah, NZ isn't the best team at the Fifa World Cup. However, the All Blacks aren't looking too shit-hot are they?

Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave. They say our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.

How would you go about suggesting and then initiating a threesome? i have a girlfriend that’s told me she wants to party one night and “have a lesbian moment.” also, her boyfriend is sexy and has stated in the past that he finds me desirable as well, and has made comments about how hot it would...

Truth!

Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Thriller” remains the most popular music video of all time: a 14-minute horror spoof that changed the business. Behind the scenes it gave its star a temporary home with director John Landis, sparked a near romance with actress Ola Ray, and revealed how damaged the young pop idol already was

Michael Jackson died 1 year ago today (NZT).

RIP dude.
