My Threnody of Exercise


O Evil Demonic One who calls me every morning.
Calling me out of a perfect slumber under warm and cozy blankets that cloak me from the fridge tempatures.

Dragging me from my dreams.

I ask for 5 more minutes and you DENY me. Why cruel heinous One?

"For Beauty", you say. Or Vanity whichever way you want to see it.

To be able to look in the mirror and see the size and shape I want.

I get up and get out, knowing full well you will only show me pain.
I am a true masochist.
I will one day learn to embrace you more fondly then I do on this date.
I hope that day is soon.

I don't WANNA

Ugh....I don't want to leave the nice warm fire and variety of shows that are on early morning television to go for a walk. I must be out of my ever loving mind!!!

But...I am up and my shoes will be on in a moment! I think of music and the lovely smells of a tuesday morning!!!!


I am off, even though my puppy is all snuggled in and sleeping. I hate waking her..I got a few more minutes LOL

I am sinking fast folks and looking for any nice warm excuse...please, any will do!!

I need to give props to some artists who have gotten me through. Thank ¥ou♥♥♥

Just a few.



Lil Kim:


Just cause you ain't a millionaire don't mean you can't compete
You ain't gotta be filthy rich, but you can't be cheap
I like a man that can stand on his own two feet
Got a strong business mind, straight out the streets
He gotta have security, power and wealth
Cause I can do bad by my God damn self
And if you spiritual, got a good heart and can make me laugh
And can fuck..

Gotta love a woman who tells you upfront about what she wants.

Love me some Lil Kim♥♥♥



The Streets:


He finally slugs it back to land feeling chewed-up and foolish
Empties his pockets on the sand spewing a pool each
Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be
So he says 'why did you have me follow this stupid rule, please?'
To be honest little fellow I'll tell you
I was just as afraid as you
But you said you wanted to get with people and places ever new
And I got a bit scared of the fate of my baby son's future
So I invented a reason to see if you could ever make do
As soon as you appeared behind that rock looking angry at me
I soon realised what a hell of a man you've ended up being
I knew you'd worked out how to swim, which I hadn't had in me
And I stand as a companion of you, proudest a man has ever been

Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid
And promise me you'll follow what it says
Whatever it says


There are so many of their songs that I have come to need. I can't remember another artists whos songs I know all the words to.♥♥♥



♦Atmosphere♦


My better half is mad at makin' magic outta can goods
My tax bracket status got her questionin' my manhood
My shorty got caught smokin' weed at a concert
And if I smack 'em everybody treats me like a monster
My neighbors ain't doin' much better
And we makin' competition instead of stickin' together
Can't save no nest egg, in fact this nest is rented
In fact that rent is late, wait
The money ain't here, the raise ain't comin'
Just me and my son and that crazy woman
And those bartenders, this whole fuckin' country
Got everybody swallowin' that lunch meat
Maybe we could speed up the process
Kill me in my thirties in the name of progress
Put me in the dirt and then change the topic
Sometimes seems like the only way to stop it
Contemplate my departure date
Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way
Take a shot at me, that's all I'm obligated for
Apparently my only guarantee is a walk-away


Love them so much...I'm gonna hit you twice!

She had a bad dream in the back seat
Same one as yesterday
Same one as last week
Surrounded by her favorite favorites
Elmo, Barbie, her purple baby blanket
And that little Matchbox it looks just like Dad's car
It's fast on the leather, pretends its NASCAR
It jumps over Elmo 'cause it can fly that far
With Daddy in the front seat frontin' like a Rap star
And Girl oh Girl, Daddy's the greatest
He knows the words
To everything on the radio play list
He fakes the accents, even makes all the faces
And when he raises his voice
It makes her feel like he's famous
Yeah Poppa got his lean on, a mean one
Weavin' down the Lake Street tryin' to get his seen on
Stoppin' the whip to say somethin' out the window
Bobbin' his head to the beat on the radio
Good Daddy won't smoke no weed
Until the bass cradles her back to sleep
Then he can stake his mack while she takes a nap
To the sweet pretty sound of the gangster rap
Shh, the high hats are angel's voices
They keep her distracted
From the stranger's voices
Escape is a paradox
Because her childhood is locked in that music box



♣Massive Attack♣

So many years and too many songs! Little shards of my soul. I missed them here in Melbourne and if I get the chance again, I will be up front with a smile on my face.


Either way, win or lose
When you're born into trouble
You live the blues
I've been thinkin' about you, baby
See it almost makes me crazy

Times, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear
That you just don't believe that I'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby
Woo, hoo, hoo

Plans and schemes
Hopes and fears
Dreams that deny for all these years
I, I've been thinkin' about you, baby
Living with me, wow



Much more to come and MUCH LOVE♥♥♥♥♥

B*tching for the day/where I am

Ok WTF B*tches???? Control your animals and if it is TOO BIG for you, get a smaller dog.

I was walking sara this morning and we went to take the bridge over the M1, so I could take pictures for this very blog. Along comes some little chick with a big ass dog. Of course first thing, he charges at my lil sara, who I have behind me. She couldn't get him past me on the foot bridge without biting at me and my dog. I ended up having to waslk back and go completely around. I was a little pissed, but I wasn't going to risk sara getting bit.

Anyways, first walk down and my foot is killing me. Second cup of coffee almost gone and thinking of making another. Puppy is asleep by the fire and Monday has begun!!

So here are some pics of my nieghborhood on a crisp fall morning in Melbourne!!!

Enjoy



















Monday Monday ♥ ♥ ♥


I love my husband but after two weeks of him being home sick...I am glad he is off to work!!!!

Have a great day Baby ♥ ♥ ♥

Also my walking shoes are on and my ipod is full of gas and in a moment I am out the door.

It's 6:45am and I have been up since 5am, 1/2 litre of water gone and finished off my first cup of coffee (cold and I am wanting another), but No...I am out the pounding the pavement with my baby girl, S :)

So I made a decision/Ode to Chocolate


So I about 2 years ago lost quite a bit of weight. 80lbs to be exact and I liked it. I did get a bit obessisive about how I looked. I worked out about 4 hours a day and counted calories. I was on 1000 to 800 calories towards the end of my journey. I couldn't eat anything without thinking about it and writing it down. I wasn't doing resturants because I couldn't determine calories.

It was TOO much for me.

I have put back on at least half of the weight I lost. I don't like this either. Now, typically I walk more but I hurt my foot about 4 months ago and it hasn't been the same since. No heels or NOTHING. I need to walk more but, I don't.

So I decided.... I am starting another journey. This time I am doing it different. I am going to do it by size and not weight. No weighing myself everyday, no worring if I go off schedule. I am going to document my journey with my friends and family. I am not sure if I will be counting calories yet...cuz, I like my resturants but I do know I will be doing more lean cuisines...which I have actually missed.

Which leads me to my next bitch.... LCs are expensive out here..WTF!!! Australia is the most obese country...give us a discount. We want a discount.


Anyways, So I will be giving up chocolate and sweets. I will keep one treat and it will most likely be iced coffee. More water and more exercise. My fat ass will be walking after A leaves for work. I have tonnes of music and energy waking up so early. I want to be fit. I want to lose at least half the weight I put on but not
over do it. So,I am glad you are coming with me...and
BEWARE

Fat Chick Running:)

"Happy Birthday" by Thomas Ligotti

Tum Yum Soup Recipe!!!!


I have been making soups lately and our ABSOLUTE favourite is Tum Yum Soup.

It is easy easy easy!!
The key ingredient is the paste.


So you start with a large pot and fill it half way with water.
Let it boil and add coriander/cilantro to the water with a bit of salt.
Add next mushrooms, any kind you want. I usually add two cans.
Next I add the paste...Three big helpings I find are good. Then chili!

I add maybe 3 chilies, including seeds. I let this boil and add meat about 15 minutes later. You can have prawns or chicken. They seem to be the one to work best.


This soup is SOOOO YUMMY and makes your kitchen smell soo good. Let me know if you can't find the paste, I posting a picture of it, but if you can't find it..I will try to bring some back with me:)






If you ask nicely!!
XOXO

Grievous to indigenous people and knowing, sometimes you need to look outside the box to you refer to asl "YOUR Border!"


http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/home/content/92502024.html


Notice the comments on the bottom!!! This is where knowing another groups 'history" or "Ethnic Studies" could do well for future generations. Other indigenous people have fought for the same rights! We need to walk up people. Compromise and reform is needed.

Let's start PUSHING!!




I WANT IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!!!!!! Before we get this...->


Because if you notice: The Hood is replacing the proud symbol of Uncle's Sam's Top Hat. It is replacing all that is good about our country!!!

In the last few months since having more time to read and progress freely in my journey of education. I have been trying to have a better understanding of what it is to be an "immigrant" of sorts. Also what is is to live not within my "borders" and how almost meaningless it is to not recognize every person regardless of what country, colour, religion or thoughts as HUMANS! This fighting and trying to cause upheaval within a nation should be looked at. THE PEOPLE DOING IT SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I also hear a lot about how great we are...everyone wants to be us right? Folks...this is a seriously read at "how great we really are"

http://www.vexen.co.uk/countries/best.html

This research is done by the UN:

Which was put in place to make sure we NEVER had another Hitler again!!! I found another one which claimed to have the US at at 12.9% currently, but couldn't back up it's figures with actually documentation and honest people who hold no allegiance.

If you can't back up what you say...you shouldn't be reporting it. Lies are not good for any society!!! Let's make America something you can be proud of again. Let's start seeing a need for change ideology from one of fear and not understanding or embracing a new change. Laws are not always correct and need reform!!! Remember our history! Fight the right way and for the right reasons. Not for exclusionary practices that even the UN is raising eye brows about.

Let's be an example in this world as a people, who can embrace and love change.
Let's preach reform for our fellow humans, and go after who really needs to be held accountable. It is not You vs I...It is Humans vs Corporate Responisblity!. Humans regardless of borders should be treated as such and not slave labour!!!

Reform and not systematic removal.
Let's stop HATE!!! No more contempt...let's look for solutions!!!

Remember what people who really fought for HUMAN Welfare said/VIVE LA HUMAN PARTY


Great places for News coverages around the world. You need to know what is going on. Everyone HISTORY...Education causes you to lose fear. Self Educated is the best!! That is what the Internet is here for, well besides porn! I love PORN!..(clearing throat)

It can be used to look up what the Certain News companies are not reporting and should be!!!

This is one I found with news articles from around the world.

http://worldmeets.us/


Sometimes the best way to fight hate is with informed and educated understanding and then of course....Love.

I can't spread the word enough.

We ARE ALL HUMANS FOLKS!!!!


Leaving you with some final words to process


"First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win."

- Mahatma Gandhi

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

- Mahatma Gandhi

"Unity does not mean uniformity

Hatred can be overcome only by love.
Mahatma Gandhi

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Mahatma Gandhi

Love facts in black and white!!!

Is the best site!!!!

Ideology on immigration reform and the reason why this is getting to be so sensationalized by certain people/ My New Manifesto for the Human Party!!



I think the main issue is, that whenever anything is posted or reported in the News, "illegal" is followed by some news footage of a Mexican doing something, but then goes on to say..."well it's not an anti-Mexican law". You can't have it both ways! The Federal Govt is doing it's job. ALL the reports show that crime is going down and under the Obama administration, actually deportation of "Actual Criminals who are Illegal" have gone up since the Bush Administration.


I also see this as a SERIOUS ploy of Tea Party members, who have no real agenda, but hold very racist members as "their representative" , to catch on to a bandwagon, of something that, some Americans, worry about, but not all. Which is a very devises attempt to cause "fear", which is typical in a movement, that doesn't want it's true agenda to come out. You talk about treason....Does anyone question why most of the people you see spouting very racist things are associated with the Tea Party and Fox News. Or are telling you to forget about what HISTORY as taught us. Fox News is the same one that stated, we couldn't speak out against "Bush" because he was a "war time president' yet go on to promote ATTACKS against Obama, who is also a "WAR TIME PRESIDENT". You should be an American and support your president in his measures to make America, really a place of people regardless of how you got here , are free.


I never supported Bush, and knowing History is what made me not support him, but I also knew that apart of being American and being able to hold my head up high is that we hold more of an UNDERSTANDING to other fellow HUMANS, NOTE PEOPLE<> I didn't say FELLOW AMERICANS, BUT FELLOW HUMANS!!! This is where a HUGE DIFFERENCE LIES!!! The Bush Administration took that away from us, and so is Jan Brewer and the Tea Baggers. Please PLEASE don't let them. Inciting fear is DANGEROUS and a useful technique of people who have another AGENDA!! It has happened before!!!! Let's bring up our reputation in the world!!!!


American immigration needs reform NOW!! We should start taking a SERIOUS look at companies that employing these fellow HUMANS and not paying for such things as: Workmen's comp or any other taxes which promote WORK SAFETY. Regardless if you are a CITIZEN...an AMERICAN company should not be using people as SLAVE LABOUR. This is where I differ with most people I am finding.


Here is Oz, there are HUGE CAMPAIGNS for WORK SAFETY and to have rights as an empolyee that covers you REGARDLESS of your status, because you are a fellow human. I have seen this as apart of their culture. Of course, they have the same issues with people coming over and not applying but they do it a bit better. I am also stating for you that know, I don't think detenment centers are correct either: Christmas Island...but no place is perfect place YET.



American can become that place, we should become that place. I would like it to be that place. We should make sure that if you are here and you want to work, you can. If you need help..it will be provided to you for a certain length of time until you can earn wages and pay into the pot, like everyone else. In the world..in America, we have enough to go around. We should not be paying any foriegn aid if we are going to kick the people who need real aid out of our own backyards. We are already a stingy republic being number 23 on the list of countries who gives out the most foreign aid, Denmark is the first giving out 1.01% of it's GDP. Japan gives more AID THEN US!!! Do they ask for admiration, Come on folks!!! Wake up..we are humans living with other humans. The bottom line of ANY RELIGION ...is be good to one another. Do you think their was a reason for that??? DUH!! Because regardless of Borders, or GODS, or RACE...we are all HUMANS first!



Also it shouldn't take 7 to 9 years to get rights to live and work here, being free to do so is what this country was built on. Immigration 200 years ago was different from immigration today, shit.. immigration procedures are not even the same, since 50 years years ago. We should be more proficient then that. Sorry, but we should. I am not saying, if you are a criminal: and let me clarify my idea of a criminal.."someone breaking a law that effect a FELLOW HUMAN in a negative way, like murder, rape..really bad things, you can even include trading of drugs and so on, as criminal activity, but people who cross the border looking for a better life for their families, should be given Amnesty. Identy thieft is another problem, and payments to those who are victims of this of course should be paid as well, since this is a serious issue regarding illegal immigrants. This process would be easier and cheaper then deporting the whole lot of people.



I think my worse fear and what should frighten every human, is when a group comes along that uses something they know is a way to manipulate the masses and get them to talk and act and vote in ways they normally wouldn't. That is the start of closing a society and maybe if you all worried about "History" a little more then you would see this as something that has been done before. I won't forget my history...regardless if you don't want to hear it or not. I know what happens to those who do. Ok and you want to talk about..border patrol's being killed and the "rancher" who was killed on his land..well you know what, crime happens everyday! It's sad and unfortunate, but if someone is caught they will pay the price and that, may include deportation.

Frankly I think COPS have enough real crime to deal with, then also becoming "immigration officers" as well. If anyone..breaks the law that is against a FELLOW HUMAN, then fine..arrest, jail, fine AND DEPORT..WHICH IS WHAT ALREADY HAPPENS. Don't let false propaganda put fear and then eventually HATE in your heart. That is what I think...you may, disagree but numbers on my side and knowledge of past and present history are on my side. Thank you for reading...for those who did!!

Cartman is my HERO!!!


Watch episode 5 from season 12 and it explains it all.

His explanation of why one group of people are more advantaged then others is CLASSIC!!!

Stop Bitching and do something about it.




If you see welfare fraud of any kind, YOU SHOULD REPORT IT, instead of bitching that you aren't getting any help.

You fill the form out and giving your information is optional and you can do it over the Internet or through paper form.

You should also have a understanding of history- American and World preferably and maybe you will understand why people are opposed to racial profiling and laws that help support it.
Happy Mother's Day!!!

I love all my Mom's out there!XOXO

WWTMD

This is my new Mantra when I am in a jam or see something I want:

What would Tucker Max do?


















After watching his movie and reading his stories online, I realize just how much I adore this man and his antics. We also have very similar goals...which I won't mention out loud, so not to jinx my own chances of achieving it. Which he has already and goes into explicit detail of his encounter. I loved every word of it!!!


Anyone who knows me personally, might just know what I am talking about and for those reading this who don't...well let's just say I can be a bad bad girl sometimes:)

Now some might ask...How can a sweet girl like yourself like a man like Tucker Max?

Short answer...he is honest about what he wants and I dig that!!!!



His words and stories remind me of a great story I read as a kid and kept with me till this day.

"The Art of Outrage, the stories of Sebastian Trump" if you have never read it...check it out!

So if Tucker ever reads this.....


I'll buy the first round, my friend and I don't mind if you touch my tits.
It's all good!!!!

XOXO

Ignorance is Rampet!- Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!


The AZ issue has a lot of people up in arms -literally- over illegal immigrants.

What I just can't understand is why we feel the need to focus on just the people instead of the businesses that want to hire cheap labour. It's sad that most Americans don't know history enough to see where targeting just one group of people will lead.

Living in another country where immigration is a hot issue as well, it's funny how different the responses are.

Here...they attack the government for not doing their jobs and the businesses that employ illegals, but in the land of the FREE, that was built on the back of immigrants...we attack the people.

How sad:(


Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Queen Vic Market

There is a gem right in the middle of the city!!!


The Queen Vic Market is the largest outdoor market in the southern hemisphere.
You can find just about anything you need! Fresh fish and produce..YUM!!!

Here are just a few images:








It is always packed and for good reason!!!

Seperated at birth??? (Stole it Tanya)


When Andrew met Lori he freaked out on how much she looks like Mama Cass Elliot!



So seperated at birth?
