Pre-review Surrender

This is a book pre-review.
This is another one of my TOP RATED FREE BOOKS from Amazon.
I don't need to read RATINGS or SYNOPSIS on books, books are like people, you CAN judge a book by its cover as I will demonstrate in this post.
I havent read this book but I'm sure I know what its all about.
Its quite obvious to all I'm sure, this is a book about farting.
It's clearly a book about a man's struggle (SURRENDER) with a fart (WIND) that seems to be stuck.
Man that will give you a sore gut.

Now I know you think that my pictures are the quality book covers but they aren't the real covers.
Here is the real cover.

As you can see from the jealousy on the guy on the left's face, he is the clenched-cheek one with the stuck fart. I think the guy on the right let one slip, right as this painting was done. He's concerned the girl in front of him is about to smell it, sneaky guy.
Yup, that is definitely what this book is about ... Farts are funny, so maybe I will read it.

Cookie Compliments


How did you know it was me fortune cookie ?

Sobe of the Day


Nuff said.

Hunger Games .. bloody marvellous

The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins is genius.

I read this book last year on my trip to NZ not really thinking anything of it. I was surprised at how quickly it had sucked me in.
This is the type of book that makes me ponder, momentarily, on what I would do if I was faced with a life or death situation. I like to think I'm pretty bad ass, I've imagined smashing a zombie in the face with a sledge hammer if it tried to chase after me to eat me, but I could not fathom being in this situation. What is the situation you ask ? Well, that would require me explaining what this book is about, so read on ...

The jist of the story is that kids have to kill kids, on a reality show.
Katniss, our heroine, is the shiz, really she is. She's a bit broken, a bit twisted and bloody awesome. She's had to hunt and gather to feed her sister, her mother and herself, in a world where self reliance is criminal.
When her younger sister is chosen to go into murderous child killing sport, she volunteers to be proxy for her sister.
It's a gnarly story, with insane situations, I'm definitely going to write about these books more, however, this is more about my intense like for some of my favourite characters in the books.

Jennifer Lawrence has been cast in the movie as Katniss, the promo pics look really good, I'm pretty happy with the choice (because my opinion matters).

Cinna, Katniss Games clothing designer, one of my favs, is being played by Lenny Kravitz. PERFECT! This casting  I am STOKED about.

♫♪ Don't go, and put a bullet in your head, just turn your life around instead ♪♫ Sing it Lenny, sing it!

Donald Sutherland is going to be President Snow. Nice, I'm going to love hating you, feel the venom.

Read this book!
RATING: A whole cake.

Words of Wisdom from Sobe


You are so right Sobe drink lid!
Cooler because I can't rotate this picture.

INTRODUCING *IIWW*

I'm introducing a new category into my blog posting called IIWW, it will contain charming annecdotes and witty repartee I enjoy on a daily basis.

Dear Cupid

In an effort to save money (my 99c kindle books are breaking the bank a little) I decided to "purchase" some of the FREE kindle books available on Amazon.
Dear Cupid was listed in the top 10 the other day, so I decided I would read it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

What I love about "ROMANCE" novels, are the cheesy ways they describe sex.
Here is an example (DON'T GET TURNED ON).

"Just when she thought herself beyond reason, he sheathed himself for protection, pinning her soft body beneath his hard planes"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Free Kindle Romance Novels = Hours of entertainment.

If you're into hard planes, give this a whirl!

RATING: One heart shaped cookie with pink frosting, good while you eat it, a bit of a sore gut after its done.

Energy Drinks Energize Pee

When I don’t get enough sleep at night I often drink Red Bulls or Monsters the next day to compensate for my lack of enthusiam for life.
When I drink too many, I notice I have fluorescent pee.
I wonder if I could harness that pee energy to power a light bulb ?

Plagued with Body Dysmorphia

I went to the gym today, GASP you say, you work out ? Suck it, I've started, no more fatness for me!
After I finished swimming my laps in the pool, I decided it was time to hit the sauna.
After sitting there for a couple of minutes, I see a little girl walk up to the glass faced door.
She looked about 8, and it clearly outlines on the door you have to be 12 or older to enter.
Figuring I can enjoy some heat in silence I lay down on my towel and closed my eyes.
The door opened slowly, and I hear the mother of this little girl telling her " Just go in for 10 minutes, it will help tighten your pores and will help you lose some water weight". I bolt upright absolutely disgusted at this mother thinking what.the.hell.
Way to encourage insecurity and over attentive identification of body flaws in your daughter. Sometimes people are amazing.

Super 8

The hubs and I decided to go on a date night on Friday, which usually consists of either dinner or a movie, or dinner and a movie. Adventurous I know.
We decided Super 8 was the movie we wanted to see.
The previews we’d see for this movie didn’t give us any idea of the plot, or any indication of what to expect.
The first thing that tweaked my interest ? Kyle Chandler. Being the FNL fans we are, I knew I could expect a solid performance from him, and as expected, he delivered.  
The main little boy reminded me of Bastian from A Never Ending Story. He had the awkwardness of Elliot from ET, this movie really took me back to my childhood.
I liked this movie, the kids were relateable, I wanted to pull out my purple bike with the crooked handle bars and ride around the streets with them.
Why you should see it ? It took me back to watching Goonies, Stand By Me (there is spewing) and those coming of age movies of yesteryear (yes, I wrote yesteryear). I laughed, got a couple of frights (I'm jumpy) and enjoyed myself.

RATING: One piece of cake for the actual movie, one piece of cake for the movie during the credits.

Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth

My Disneyland cherry was popped last month. I only waited 28 years for it, and it was worth it!

Hate all you want, Disneyland is the shiz.
From the food, to the characters you grew up with roaming the park, its a nostalgic journey everyone should take.

The ride of my day, and my emotional high, was It's a Small World.
"WHAT !?!" you ask incredulously "That is the cheesiest, most annoying ride ever!".
No, haters, it is not.

You are on this boat, on a pilgrimage to discover many different cultures. As you go through the ride, the singing begins in English, and as you slowly transition through different nations and the varying ethnicities, the singing changes to the various corresponding languages. The whole time I was enthralled, the same song being sung in all these different languages, as if the world were as one.

Think about that the next time you go to Disneyland and cry a little.

Two on Two

"There is NO GREATER achievement then going to the bathroom, after lunch, and finding you are the ONLY ONE in the stall. You are free to enjoy the sights and sounds that only an empty bathroom can give you." -  Murt.

DEDICATED TO Abs & Dabs
 

So, if you work in an office such as I do, you'll know the challenge that we all often face with privacy... there isn't any.
And when it comes to dropping a deuce, I know for sure I need some privacy!
Is it performance anxiety if you can't take a crap when someone else is listening ?
That silence before you bust out a mean fart can really make you sweat.
I seriously admire those people who can drop their pants, and bust some ass, without a care in the world, I mean, if they can carry on a conversation while doing that? More power to you.

I've talked to my brother, Murt, about how you pooh in the bathroom on your office buildings floor, without getting caught.
He's a shoe man, loves his kicks, and he said there are a number of steps you have to take before you can drop a load like a ninja.
  1. Scope out the territory. You've gotta make sure the bathroom is empty when you sneak in, if someone’s in there already, you might have to wash your hands or blow your nose, its a bit suspicious if you just walk in and walk straight out.
  2. If the bathroom is all clear, head to the furtherest stall. There is a slight gab in the doors in most public rest rooms, so in order to avoid being seen, you need to head on down to the last cubicle. To be sure no-one knows it’s you, you have to lift your feet off the ground (my shoe loving brothers tip). If someone happens to come in while you're in the middle of popping a squat, they won't be able to see your shoes, and therefore, won't know who it is stinking out the bathroom.
  3. If someone does happen to come in while you are dropping the kids off at the pool, and you are nervous about them hearing you, wait for the breaks in their routine. When they pull the toilet paper down, push some out, when they flush the toilet, another push, and when they wash their hands, bust it out again.
  4. If you finish right as someone walks in, wait for them to enter the stall, then quickly flush the toilet, wash your hands, and ninja out.
I'm not about to try and be all sneaky like that, too much effort.
I have some friends, we'll call Abs and Dabs, and we all discuss at length, the idea that it is NOT a good idea, to pooh on your own floor.
We have a saying, two on two, meaning number two, on floor two.
See, the problem with going on the first floor of your building is that everyone going in and out of the building can still see you walk to the bathroom.
Sometimes you might get off the elevator on the first floor with a smoker who is headed outside for a cigarette break, and there is a strong possibilty that you might also get back on the elevator with them, earning you a puzzled look.

We can discuss this topic at length in the future, but I'm wondering, which method you prefer ?
Are you a pooh ninja or is it two on two for you ?

The Green Lantern

I watched The Green Lantern this past weekend with the family. Gonna say it, LAME!
I desperately wanted to like it, Temuera Morrison played Abin Sur, and Taika Waititi played Thomas, both sizeable parts from my Maori brothers, but much to my dismay I didn’t like it.

Character Development : NON EXISTANT.

I didn't care for anyone or about anyone.
Ryan Reynolds, you looked depressed dude, throughout the entire movie I thought you were going to cry. You are the best in Just Friends, so funny! What happened to your humour ?
Blake Lively, you can't act ... sorry coz I love me some Gossip Girl, and I really like you in The Town, you made a great drugged out whore, but in this movie ? No.

The story was boring, they showed too many irrelevant background pieces, and overall the flow didn’t work.

RECOMMENDATION: Save your money and your time.
RATING: Two Red Vines (eww)

Welcome to my BLAH

This blog is my new outlet as suggested by my sister, and also my mother a few years ago.
I have a problem with my anger. Strike that, I have a problem with my intense emotions and chanelling those emotions in a constructive manner.
By no means do I have anger management issues (unless you talk to someone close to me, who might challenge me on that standing) but I like to laugh at myself, and at others.
Try not to be offended by what I say, I'm not offended by what you say.
