Online mating

January 19, 2010 in Random thoughts by Jase

She stepped on to the bus, bags hanging from both arms, her hair a mess and looking utterly defeated. As she fumbled through her purse in search of change to hand the driver, it slipped from her hand and coins danced and rolled around on the bus floor like teeny boppers high on ecstasy. She exhaled a deflating sigh and her shoulders shrunk as though she wanted her body to consume itself. The whole picture made me think she was incredibly sad. Read More »

I think youtube is trying to tell me I have a hairy back.

I think youtube should shut the fuck up and worry about it’s own back.

Merry Christmas.

I start today with something I believe everyone of us needs – a Japanese snuggie. This would have saved countless trips to the emergency room when I was younger.

Twenty Five Twelve

December 25, 2009 in Me by Jase

A quick look at the articles that caught my eye today.

I had no idea that such a competition existed, and now that I do know I won’t follow it any closer than I did in the past.

Two words sum up this article. Fucking awesome! (And yes I am aware that I instead took eight words to summarise it.) Read More »

Nando’s University

December 14, 2009 in Commentary by Jase

I went out for dinner the other night to a Nando’s down at Docklands. After a long while looking over the menu I decided to order a classic chicken burger with egg and bacon. Now imagine I had been asked to make that decision 12 years earlier. That would be crazy, right? Back then I hardly knew what excuse to use for not having done my homework,  let alone decide what I wanted to eat in 12 years time. Read More »

My 40 Hour iFamine

November 23, 2009 in Random thoughts by Jase

I can’t believe that in 1993  the only forms of entertainment at my fingertips were a TV with 5 channels and a Super Nintendo with a handful of games. How on earth did I pass the time with so few electronic devices? Fast forward to this evening and in my room before me sits the following. A TV that has a computer, an Xbox and  a PS3 connected to it. Pumping out the audio is my 5.1 surround. Sitting in my closest, alongside my sexuality, is a Nintendo Wii, a remote control helicopter and my remote control car that drives on any surface, regardless of orientation. Read More »

Trouble in Paradise?

October 26, 2009 in V8 Supercars by Jase

One year ago, Champ Car raced for the last time around the streets of Surfers Paradise, a decision that was not entirely unexpected at the time the flag fell at the end of the race in 2008. When it was finally confirmed that the Champ Cars would not return to Australia, Lexmark decided the time was right to leave the event, a decision that I am sure they are happy with today.

So with the major draw card and the naming rights sponsor gone, the event organisers were quick to work a deal, and announce that the A1GP had signed a five year contract that would see the series make a welcome return to Australia to continue on the tradition of open wheel racing around the concrete jungle that sits alongside one of Australia’s greatest stretches of beach.

Stress

October 14, 2009 in Me by Jase

Possessions cause me the most stress. What happens if my house is burgled? What am I going to do if someone scratches my car? And heaven forbid I ever lose my iPod and all that music! The same can be said for my job. What am I going to do if I lose my job? How will I survive? How will I buy my next go kart? How will I keep my current go kart on the track? As you can quickly see, a lot of the questions that come to mind highlight my need for possessions. Read More »
