I just finished reading The Ruins by Scott Smith, took me long enough. I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable. I found that every day I wanted to get back to it to see what the characters were doing, and what was being done to them. To me, that’s the sign of a good book. One [...]

If only that were some kind of music, I would totally dig the shit out of it. Unfortunately, it is more reference to my state of mind at the moment.
I have not written in a few days. I do not like not writing.
ANZAC Day was a day I was prepared to take off, even the [...]

These are the things that define me. For those just jumping on now this is all you need to read to know me, though the other nine are pretty good foreplay. You can look at these favourites and get a very good insight into my psyche and manner of being. We’re through the looking glass, [...]

Crunch time, you have to sort your boys from your uncles here. Last minute rearrangements can spell danger, stick with the gut instincts. It was actually funny that these top two fell into place before the rest of the lists did. The top is easy, everyone has their loves.

Holy cow, we’re here already! I love the top threes; you’ve gotta make just the right choices, you can’t have three of the same but they all have to be absolute quality and earn their places. These have definitely earned their places!

This placement is what really counts, these ones just didn’t make the top 3. Harsh, harsh but fair. The top 3 is crazy money, this stuff is just obviously wicked. Enjoy.

Business end of the stick now. The final countdown. Insert other momentus cliche here.
Once you hit five you realise that there are only a few places left, four to be exact. Order and placement must be exact in this end of the deal, there are no take backs. Where they end up is where they [...]

TCB, right here, right now, taking care of business. The sixes, that process of elimination is really cutting things down and there are some things that will be left with a spot, and some that will not appear at all. It’s go time!

Crunch time here, things have to be sorted, orders need to be finalised and thoughts have to be clear. There is no room for error with the sevens, you have to get it right here because it’s only a hop, step and a jump into the top five, and that you don’t want to mess [...]

This is where the lists get serious. The nines and tens can be a little off the wall, a little bit ghetto - a little bit penthouse. It’s where you can express the minorities in the mind, the side that respects Hugh Heffner and everything he stands for, the side that wants to see Rocky [...]
