parabens and jetstar
I LOVE free stuff. But sometimes, free stuff isn’t always the greatest thing. On a flight to Thailand earlier last year, Jetstar was kind enough to give us a ‘diddy bag’ with some crap in it for our 8 hour flight. Part of “star class”…. anyway, as I was sitting on the curb waiting for [...]

rants and raves; made in china!
So I went into adidas the other day to exchange a jacket (better known as a ‘jumper’ here in Oz) the mate had gotten me for Christmas. It was too small (hehe! did I mention the biceps finally tipped a solid 15″s?). Anyway, I got two pairs of rayon stretch-pants in different styles. I washed [...]

what I’m eating ATM
Just finished a great grappling session with Con. What I packed to eat right after a hard cardio/muscle blasting workout on the mats, was this lovely box of goodness. The mate cooked up some really lean pork/beef burger patties last night. I had already boiled some wholemeal pasta, with balsamic vinegar a few nights ago. [...]

I guess I was always under the false pretense that they helped me grip the weights better. WRONG! The only [...]

Thailand’s version of extra large.
………….. this I had to share. yesterday I made a rather large “come up” at the markets here in Thailand. I bartered my way into 4 pairs of shorts for $5 a pair. They were “XL”, as in extra large. Well, apparently, the XL in the Asia Pacific part of the world, isn’t quite the same [...]

One nation, under Allah?
Make of it what you will, but I thought this was blog worthy (see email forwarded towards bottom of post). I actually didn’t know Obama’s religion until I started watching some videos on YouTube covering conspiracy theories, and WTF is Obamas Real first and last name Anyway?! I’m not really sure what I’d consider myself [...]

control freak, and letting go of “plans”
I haven’t forgotten about my blog topic from earlier this morning, I just don’t have anything to comment on it at the moment! However, as I was just out in the kitchen having a conversation in my head while cutting up yams (making make-shift french fries), I thought of a topic I’d much rather write [...]

is “self acclaimed” really just over-konfident?
This struck me as odd. I woke up this morning (after about the fifth time over the course of the night) to the first thought in my head being: “how can I consider someone who labels themselves ‘self acclaimed’ to be not a valid source of information?”, “isn’t someone who’s ‘self acclaimed’ just really konfident?”… [...]
