Depression in babies. This is disturbing. It’s certainly not the image that comes to my mind when I think of children. We all want our children to be above reproach. They are our pride. I know mine are. Their happiness is the pinnacle of our existence. So it should be. Hence why Jeffrey Kluger’s article “Small Child, Big Worries” in the March(…)
Film Mechanics, The Wolf Pack and How it Relates to You
When you saw the trailer for the Hangover in 2008, you probably thought the same thing I did; “Oh look, here’s another lame hollywood by-the-numbers comedy that will almost certainly be laden with fart jokes and people getting punched in the crotch. IT’S ALWAYS A WINNER”. As western comedy films have consistently adhered to the(…)
My First Origins
“Oooooooooo, break his neck!” Tonight, I lost my rugby-league-ginity. Having been brought up in Adelaide, the phenomenon of the State of Origin only recently penetrated my AFL-dominated world. And what better way to experience my first rugby match than to sit next to a couple of die-hard Queensland fans and to listen to their running(…)
Origin Is Almost Here
The wait is over for Rugby League fans with State of Origin kicking off tonight. Around the state Queenslanders will be wearing Maroon to show support for their team. A team aiming to make it a record six series wins in a row. Origin in Queensland is almost a religion. It’s something people from interstate(…)
The Rapture 2011 edition.
I’ll admit when I first started seeing the hashtag #rapture on Twitter, I instantly got excited and thought the band The Rapture were releasing a new album. I was wrong. Very wrong. According to American man Harold Camping May 21st, 2011 would be ‘Judgement Day’ and that as many people as possible should prepare(…)
Review: Blues Festival
So it’s gone for another year, but sure enough, tickets for the 2012 Byron Bay Blue Festival are on sale now. It was my first time having this festival experience and I have mixed feelings about whether I’d go again. The weather was atrocious for a day that began as clear and sunny as Australian(…)
Hey, I’m Paul.
Images source. Paul (2011) is another alien movie. But not as you’d expect it. Dynamic duo, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are at it again, making waves in the comedic element known as cinema, this time setting out to challenge any and all alien-related stereotypes that have shaped our view of the unknown. The film(…)
People Watching; its an art.
(Image Source) Sometimes talking just doesn’t say it all. Why? I think perhaps it’s because no matter what our voices are saying, our actions are always tell a stronger message. People watching is really an art form that’s best observed in silence. This isn’t the kind of people watching that is done from your lounge(…)
Eurovision Love.
So, it’ over for another year. At least, in Europe it is. The final round of the Eurovision song contest held in Germany 2011 will be aired in Australia this evening on SBS. However with the majesty of the internet, or perhaps not so majestic, the winner of this years’ contest is plastered all over(…)
A Mothers Day to Remember
Mothers day. Its one day a year where everyone can show their appreciation for their mum’s and may I add, women in general. Held on this important day is Australia’s largest national charity event, the Mothers Day Classic. Thousands of people turned out today to take part in a walk and run marathon to help(…)
Mum’s the Word
I bound down the hallway this morning. In my pj’s. I jump up onto my mum’s bed . Smother her with a big bear hug and kisses saying, “Happy Mother’s Day Ma!” This has been my tradition since i was a kid. Funny thing is even though i’m a mum myself now i forget my role and only have(…)
