Sleeping Awake
23rd December, 2007
Hey there,
Again, it has been literally half a year since i last wrote one word in here. Christmas is in two days time- Yay! I know what i want but i'm not sure i'll get it... not by the 25th at least. Just cause i haven't yet dragged my Dad to the toy shop to pick one. It is... a remote controlled car with a tow bar at the back, where i can tie a rope that connects to an open ice-cream container, so that i can put my rats in and take them around for rides. Don't laugh. I'm sure they would enjoy it. And i love my little ratties. And besides, i've always wanted a remote controlled car since i was little and i won't be satisfied until i get one. I DID, however, get myself a Christmas present; a Che Guevara necklace, the Argentinian leader of the Cuban guerrilla warfare, whose life story i am currently interested in.
I've also decided to stay away from Conspiracy Theories now. They're just too depressing. I believe a lot of them, but that's not the point. I feel privelaged that i happened to come across this information thanks to the internet, and am no longer as naive about the world as i once was, but it's too heart breaking to constantly read articles about them. I want to focus my mind on positive things because there is so much intrinsic beauty in this world. If you can only ignore the parasites that poison it.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2008, whatever you will be doing, that's it from me for this year. Sayonara!

Hey,
Como esta? (that's Spanish for 'how are you?')
Before i go onto anything else, i want to say a big Happy Birthday to Rafael Nadal, who turned 21 on the 3rd of June. I remembered it because he's born in the same year as me. He's just 2 weeks younger. For those of you who don't know who he is, (a very small group), Rafael, or Rafa as he is also known, is a world famous Spanish tennis player, born in Mallorca, Spain. He is nicknamed the King of Clay, because he plays great on clay courts.
While on the subject of tennis, I also want to praise his friendly rival, Roger Federer, the 25-year-old Swiss player, who is currently seen as someone who could possibly take over Pete Sampras' (the most successful male tennis player ever) position as the greatest tennis player who ever lived. He's still young enough to achieve this goal. Roger Federer is a really nice guy too- I watched the Australian Open against Fernando Gonzalez in January, and during his acceptance speech, after he had won the cup, he was so modest you would think he hadn't won much at all. But that was a huge day for him- it was when he won his 10th Open. Some player, huh? Not to take any credit off Nadal though, who recently defeated Federer on the 10th of June, in the 2007 French Open. Congratulations Nadal. Although, that was on clay, and Nadal grew up on clay. Federer originates from Switzerland, and they play on grass courts. Which is why he is consequently better on them. I hope he wins the French Open one day. Then he will have won a Cup at all four of the Opens: the Australian Open, French Open, U.S. Open and Wimbledon. That would be amazing. But both players already are. I would love to watch both of them play live one day.
The other day, for the first time in ages, I got to see one of my favourite movies again, The Matrix. I hadn't seen it for a while simply because I didn't have a VCR to play my video version of it on. I had also been wanting to see the sequels again - The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, which even though could never match the original, are still very fun, thrilling and entertaining movies. However, I wanted to watch The Matrix again first. So anyway, after watching The Matrix, I went out and rented the other two. So anyway, it was really good to see all of them again... when i was 16 i was so obsessed with the Matrix.
One more thing on that topic- the Architects Speech in The Matrix Reloaded- did anyone actually understand that first time through? Maybe if you had a Doctorate in English. I remember when i was 17 when it came out first, and during that movie, after that scene i was like.... huh? Say what? It was so confusing. Words like Apropos and Quintessential, which at the time I had never heard in my life! Even though i understood it after watching the movie a few more times, and with the help of a dictionary, i thought it might be cool to get the exact transcript of that speech, so i can read it and have more time to comprehend every sentence before continuing, to fully understand the storyline as well as the vocabulary ? not so much what the words mean, but in what context they are used to describe the plot. So here it is - straight from the net (it is perfectly verbatim; i ran it through with the DVD and checked it). So all you confused fans - even though four years have passed since it's release, The Architects (in)famous Speech!!!:
The Architect ? Hello, Neo.
Neo ? Who are you?
The Architect - I am the Architect. I created the matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and though the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
Neo - Why am I here?
The Architect - Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
Neo - You haven't answered my question.
The Architect - Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others.
The Architect - The matrix is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.
Neo: There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me, or no one knows.
The Architect - Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly is systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations.
Neo - Choice. The problem is choice.
The Architect - The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being, thus I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
Neo - The Oracle.
The Architect - Please. As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level. While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
Neo - This is about Zion.
The Architect - You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated.
Neo - Bullshit.
The Architect - Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
The Architect - The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race.
Neo - You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to survive.
The Architect - There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this world.
The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.
Neo - Trinity.
The Architect - Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.
Neo - No!
The Architect - Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to your left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
The Architect - Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.
Neo - If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again.
The Architect - We won't.
That speech, when I heard it in the cinemas for the very first time, while it was incredibly confusing, was one of the most stimulating pieces of audio-visual data that I have ever had the enjoyment of assimilating into my brain. In other words, it was like reading about an exciting psychology experiment, or reading I, Robot for the first time. Very enthralling, to say the least.
I must write some reviews for these two movies to put on my website. I've been meaning to forever, just like I've been meaning to finish my Terminator 2 section for the last 50 years.
Oh... and did you know, for your curiosity, that since 2006, Larry Wachowski (him and his brother Andy wrote and directed the Matrix trilogy) is no longer male?!? Yes, that's correct. He apparently had a sex change (not surprising, i've seen photos of him dressed as a woman), and is now legally living his life as 'Lana Wachowski'. Pity- i actually thought Larry Wachowski was kinda cute when he was a "boy". Here is a photo of the two, and as you probably would have guessed, "Lana" is the bandana-wearing person on the left.
Hmmm..... wonder what Andy thinks, who i might add sort of looks like a cone head crossed with an oompa loompa... hehe.... and it's not every day that your average 30-something year-old gets a new sister :p
Well, that's it from me tonight, that was quite a long entry.
See ya,
Steph
April 23rd, 2007
Hey everyone,
I am writing this entry solely because of what happened in Virginia on Monday the 16th of April. The Virginia Tech massacre shocked and saddened me so much, and I live thousands of miles away. What Seung-Hui Cho did was extremely and unfathomably selfish to his family, to the victims and to everyone who cared about them. I think it is very important that the whole world does not get angry at his family or the Korean community on a whole. I just remember what happened after 9/11 in 2001, so many innocent Muslim's all over the world were unjustly beaten just because some religious fanatics hopped on a plane and smashed into the US's economic powerhouses, the twin towers. As it turns out, 9/11 was an inside job arranged by the corrupt American government in an effort to get the public in favour of a war, and probably had more to do with the United States of Israel (Israelis) and absolutely nothing to do with some cave-dwelling Muslim named Osama... but that's another story. But the pain Seung-Hui's family that he left behind must be feeling at the moment, I cannot even imagine. Not only have they lost their son, but in a most unsettling manner- with the knowledge that he murdered 32 people and will be infamous forever. That's not to take any sympathy away from the victim's families- my heart goes out to them all. While the victims are safe and content in heaven, the families are the ones that have to suffer with the loss of their loved ones. Anyway, I really want to say to all the victims and their families my huge condolence goes out to you all. It was both sad and beautiful to see pictures of the candle-lit vigil that was held the night after the massacre. The Columbine High School massacre in 1999 was shocking enough, although I was only 12 when that happened and wasn't mature enough to really understand the consequences for all the people left, at the depth that I understand it now. Columbine had a death toll of 13. Virginia Tech had a death toll of 32. So many lives, taken away for no reason. Just to sate the cold, sick and sadistic desires of the killer. Why? I guess that is a question only God knows. I can't see how anything could justify such a thing. It makes you wonder whether God really does intervene. If he can, why doesn't he in a situation like this? I also thought it was very slack that the students only received an email warning after the first two victims were shot. Surely a student on campus with a loaded gun (or two) and a murder toll of one person, let alone two, should merit a serious warning, if not an evacuation. It's better to be safe than sorry. 30 more lives were lost, simply because such a precaution was not instigated. That is really, really bad. I hope that is a warning to every school, workplace or any gathering with lots of people the world over, to take crazy, armed murderers on the loose as a serious threat to everyone's life who is within eyeshot.
Another point worth noting is President George W. Bush's statement that he still thinks American people should have the right to own guns in their households for self-defense, despite that easier access to them increases the risk of similar sorts of incidents happening with anyone who is deranged enough to want to commit them. Bush has completely lost it.
I think, personally, the gun culture in the US is out of control. There seem to be shops at every corner that sell guns like candy bars. I'm sure there is an age limit to buy them, but that doesn't do much good if you're a 23-year-old psycho. But I get the feeling that even if they made a legislation that only people with gun licenses could purchase guns or even if they drastically reduced the amount of weapons sold to begin with, it would do little to reduce the killing sprees and shoot outs that happen all over the country every year. The reason lies in the fact that the gun culture, I think, is pretty deeply rooted in the American psyche. They just don't seem to feel safe without a gun under their pillow. Well, I live in New Zealand, and not only do most people not own a gun, most people would not even know how to load one. We are also, I think, the only country in the world whose police force, the everyday type policemen that is, not the ones higher in the ranks, who are not armed. So most encounters police have with non-law-abiding citizens, they will talk them into peace rather than coerce them via the means of holding a pistol to their heads. Much more humane in my eyes. I think it's great to live in a country where people aren't psychologically dependant on guns.
Sorry to all you Red Bush-loving Republicans, but I can't stand Bush. Not many people in New Zealand can, I'm not alone. But Democrats aren't much better. At the end of the day, they all fight for the same cause. They pick two candidates who are both puppets, and put them up for the American public to vote for to give the illusion of democracy, but in reality, they're both the same. As my Dad says, in regards to the American election every four years: "Vote for A or vote for A." No difference. And in the case of Bush in recent years, even the public vote which he DID NOT WIN, BOTH times, was not enough for the powers that be to kick him out of seat. You see, Bush is one of the most obedient president puppets the world has seen. It's like he doesn't have a mind of his own. He will literally say anything they tell him to. That has proved very helpful in their behind-the-scenes schemes, so far.
Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent here. Guns are, of course, not the only things at fault here. There is also culture and television violence that play a part. American Hollywood culture in movies and music, that often glamorize violence, guns and killing. There is so much more violence in the cinemas now than there was 20 years ago. It totally sickens me. I think if you actually get enjoyment out of watching a movie like Saw, then there is something seriously wrong with you, and you need professional help. Why any movie producer would want to produce such a movie in the first place, I haven't got a clue. When you make a movie, it's usually to serve one of three purposes: a) to tell a story, fiction or fact, b) to entertain (in the case of comedies), or c) to spread a message. Why tell a story about a psycho sadistic killer? To what avail? Nobody is going to want to watch it, and those who do aren't worth the time of day. These movies make it look cool to act as if you have no empathy. Cool to kill. It's a horrible message to infiltrate into society. I keep thinking about the Columbine killers, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, who apparently listened to Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, KMFDM, and Rage Against the Machine who all have pretty violent lyrics in varying degrees. Certainly the artists should not be blamed, but it would be naive to say that it had absolutely no effect on their mindsets at all either. It seems that although the Columbine killers were pretty much just normal kids who were under the influence of cultural sources that extolled violence and used it to reap attention, Seung-Hui had some serious pathological problems - he really was mentally ill.
The Virginia Tech massacre was a terrible, terrible thing to have happened and I pray for the victims, their families, and all the people who were affected in any way. I made a tribute to this tragedy in my journal, which I took a photo of, and I have put here in remembrance of the people who died.
On a happier note, my new little ratties have settled in very well. I had to ship them off to my mother's house recently for room inspection day in the apartments where I live, because we're not actually allowed pets. But to hell with that rule. I'm an animal lover and I need them around me on a regular basis or I get depressed. Both my parents are just as crazy over rats as I am, so rat-sitting for a few days was no trouble at all. Santino is so placid; he just sits in your hand, on your shoulder, in your hood or on your lap, quietly and without complaint. He loves attention. Little Joey is very active and full of life, and very brave when he constantly instigates fights with Sonny, who is twice his size. We have nicknamed Joey 'Tough Guy' for his pluckiness. He also swings in my hair; clings on to it like a rope and swings back and forth, which is so cute. Here is little Mr. Plucky:
Also, I seem to have completely lost interest in American Idol. I only kept watching it because of Sanjaya, but even though he's still on, it still doesn't seem to make me want to sit down and watch it. I have more important things to get done. So I haven't been lately. I may watch the finale. Maybe. Only if it sparks my interest again.
Well, that's all I have to say for today. Just before I go, here are two links that I think are important for people to see regarding the massacre: the first link is the apology from the Cho family, regarding what their son and brother did and how much it has affected them. The second link is a list of the names and short descriptions of the 32 students and teachers that were killed that day.
Take care,

Buenos Dias.
Does anyone watch American Idol? Well I suppose a lot of people do, considering there are over 30 million votes after every episode. Anyway, I unfortunately watch it, even though I live in New Zealand. I don't even watch television. I have a monitor but I only use that for videos and DVD's. I don't own an aerial, and on purpose. I HATE television - with a passion. It's so ridiculous. Back in the 80s and 90s there were actually cool programs on, like Care Bears, Playschool, ALF, Full House, Home Improvement and the like. I think after a program called Desperate Housewives was actually put onto mainstream television, it forever lost its decency. Anyway, that's enough of my rant about television. I'm still only human, and the only reason I have started watching American Idol every week is because I've become addicted. I started watching and now I'm involved in the characters. Sad huh? Pathetic. But now I routinely go into my friend's room and watch it with her twice a week (singing and elimination). After this season, I will not watch anymore, because I'll just get addicted and it wastes a lot of time. I need that mind space for my homework. So, who are the people I like in the show at the moment? Well, all of them really. I thought Stephanie Edwards was one of the best singers, and was very surprised to see her eliminated so early. I thought she would win. Maybe that's just cause my name is Stephanie. Hmmm?.. Anyway, I also like Jordin, Melinda, and... drum roll ? Sanjaya. A lot of people don't. But a lot of people do. I think he's really cool. Love his hair, and he has really good tastes. And most of all he seems to be a really nice person. Yes, he is the weakest singer of the lot, but he can sing. He's just a soft singer. Here's a couple of cool pictures of him:
And who could forget the "ponyhawk":
If I did that to my hair; well, if I mowhawked my hair, wow... I probably couldn't walk through any doors (my hair is very long, about 60cm). And I couldn't begin to imagine how many cans of hairspray I'd need. I might try the ponyhawk one day though. Sounds like fun. Hehe...
Catch you later

I really need to start increasing the amount of entries I put in here. Once every four months is just not good enough. I suppose it's in compensation for the ridiculous amount of World Cup reviews I wrote last year. In retrospect, I don't know how anyone could possibly be so obsessed with something. I guess soccer is just like that- it posseses an inherent charm and charisma that not many sports do. I find World Cup addictive. No doubt in 3 years time when the next one comes I'll probably be obsessively writing reviews again, and consuming all my mind with nothing but for the month-long duration of the tournament.
Anyway, to other news. A few weeks ago I got a little pet rattie, the first rat I've had since October 2005, when my last rat died of a muscular degenerative condition, which was so sad to watch and I hope I won't have to go through that again. Well the first rat I got two weeks ago, was a 4-month-old black and white rat. I was in the pet shop, and he was sitting in a tube looking at me, his 2 pals were fast asleep on the hammock and I didn't want to disturb them, so I chose him. He is so cute; he has the face of a miniature bear. I call him "Little Bear" in reference to his bear-like resemblance. He has a dark gray face, with a white beard - Lol. His body is mostly white, with a black stripe going down the middle. When choosing pet names I always wait a few days so that the personality of the rat suits the name. I finally settled on Santino - a name I derived from the famous Francis Ford Coppollo trilogy, The Godfather, although this character only appears in the first movie, and in a short cameo in the second, as at the end of the first he is brutally murdered in a shootout by some mafia hitmen. The short form of Santino is Sonny, so I call my little rattie Sonny as well. Here is an adorable photo of him:
After a few days, I remembered the Golden Rule when it comes to ratties, and in fact, most house pets excluding cats and dogs - they need at least one other member of their species to keep them company. So, with $12 in my pocket (the price I paid for Sonny), I drove to the only pet store left in my city, where I got Santino, and my heart sank when I looked at the rat cage that was cleared out - all the ratties had been sold. I then went to the counter and asked the lady when they will next get rats and she said she didn't know. So I went home, dissapointed and sad. But I was determined not to let my little Sonny be lonely his whole life. So I opened the telephone book and to my surprise there were listings of a few large pet stores in other cities. I called the closest one and asked if they sold rats. Sure enough, they did, and so the very next day, which was a Saturday, I took my car and drove all the way out, with my Dad in the front seat with me, and using my map finally made it to the pet store. I chose a little rattie, and in the boiling hot, mirage creating heat, we drove 200km back to my home town. He survived the trip really well. We made sure he had a container of water at all times, and stopped in some country town with just a dairy and a pub, to buy some crackers in case he was hungry. He didn't eat anything during the car trip though. Since then he has settled in so well. Him and Santino are best friends, they sleep together and groom each other all the time. I named him Joey - it suited him perfectly. He is so trusting, like a naive child. He is as cute as a button, and has energy like a little kitten (ironically, baby rats are actually called "kittens", and Joey is only 5 weeks - he is tiny). He runs round and round the cage and around my room, and drives the 10-times more placid Santino mad. But Sonny still loves him. Here is a sweet little picture of little Joeykins:
And here is a super-cute photo of the two of them in their rattie Cyber-House - Santino underneath, and Joey on the top floor (he's the only one out of the two that can fit in both):
Well I better call it a day, hope everyone reading this is enjoying the last few days of autumn heat and looking forward to winter (my favourite month), or if you're a northy (live in the northern hemisphere), enjoying the last few days of spring and anticipating the summer break in July.
adios,
Steph

Happy New Year!!! Well, I realise it isn't quite 'new' anymore, but since this is my first entry not only this year, but in 6 whole months, it will have to do. Time goes so quickly, I have no idea where it all went. Was it just my imagination, or did more things happen than usual in 2006? It seemed to have been a cursed year for some reason, or maybe i just paid a whole lot more attention to the media.
Anyway...
Has anyone reading this seen the movie Spirited Away? I just watched it the other day; a friend of mine shoved it into my hand and said "This movie is amazing, watch it!". I looked dubiously at the cover, as it was clearly a Japanese anime film, and i normally can't stand that genre. But, i gave her a smile and said i would. That was two days ago, and i am still in a daze. 5 star movie. Period. The back of the cover did have reviews with 5 stars, but still. I needed my own opinion. It is an absolutely wonderful, beautiful film, with the sweetest love story. I'll definitely buy it someday. I think it's right up there with The Little Mermaid, also one of the greatest cartoon films ever. Although that one has extra special sentimental value to me, because i watched it for the first time when i was 6, and at that place and time the movie's storyline - Ariel's life from her perspective that is - was very similar to my own, and that movie influenced me like no other. The main character in Spirited Away is Chihiro (such a pretty name, as numerous characters in the movie point out. If i ever had a daughter i would consider calling her that!). Anyway, the basic plot goes as follows: Chihiro, along with her parents are on their way moving to a new town, when they get lost on what appears to be a slight detour. They get out of the car, and eventually, curiosity gets Chihiro's parents into big trouble - literally. You'll see what i mean if you watch it, i don't want to spoil it in advance for anyone. When Chihiro realises that she has entered a strange world where mythical beasts and spirits reign, she has to survive while at the same time take steps to save her parents.
This movie had elements from the storylines of many classic Disney films: Beauty and the Beast- when Chihiro remembers Haku's name it breaks the spell, and he is permanently human again (similar to when Beauty calls out 'I love you' to the beast as he is falling to his death, and just in the nick of time, it breaks the spell and he is transformed into a human again). Yubaba heavily reminded me of Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, and when Yubaba tells Chihiro that if she fails her test, she will belong to Yubaba (Ariel would have belonged to Ursula after she failed to get Eric to kiss her before the sunset on the third day, had her father not intervened). And, in a very minor way, it was also a bit like Aladdin. Chihiro and Haku fly in the sky together. Then again, so did Wendy and Peter Pan. In this movie, however, unlike Aladdin, Chihiro's love interest "IS" the carpet, because she rides on Haku's back when he is in dragon form, not both of them riding on a third flying object. I like movies like that; that combine elements of the best storylines to give the one, ultimate, best ever story.
Spirited Away is a wonderful adventure and the characters in the movie are as diverse as the two worlds themselves. Not to be missed.
Take care!
:o)

Damn, it's been almost a whole year since i last wrote something here. After all that time, i have finally changed the layout of this website. The delay being caused by none other than lack of ideas. Anyway, i hope you like it!! I think it is 10 times better than the last one.
Latest news regarding upcoming concerts, is that Stevie Nicks will be performing in 3 locations in New Zealand in March this year!! 80's legend and crescent moon Queen, whose hits include 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' and my favourite, 'I Can't Wait'. That song is on my copy of the CD series 'A Time To Remember', mine being the one for 1986. I still think she rocks! And she was a very influential singer in the 80's, and that, of course, was THE best decade ever. I hope i can go.
And lastly, the Terminator 2 section is just about completed, and it should be ready to access by the beginning of next month.
See ya, and Happy New Year to you all.
February 15th, 2005
Velvet Revolver are doing a tour that includes New Zealand, and are doing 2 shows here: One in Auckland, and one in Christchurch. And I can't go to either of them. I am REALLY pissed off. Slash & Duff haven't been here since 1993! And who knows when they'l be back. I guess one day I'll just have to take a holiday to the US and see them there. And Axl and the 'New' Guns N' Roses while I'm there. I'm really keen on seeing Axl live. But Slash is the king of all guitar kings. Hopefully there might be some video coverage on the television later on.
I changed the Guns N' Roses page to a 'frame' layout.
And I'm planning to make a Michael Jackson shrine, my favourite solo artist of all time.
January 29th, 2005
Well the new year is here. Legendery 80's glam rockers Motley Crue are embarking on a World Tour, and are doing a couple of shows in NZ in November/December this year! I have to see them. I love Motley Crue! Nikki Six rules.

Hey, and welcome to my site! This is a page where i will put updates for this website, anytime any ideas or inspiration come to me. It may not be updated on a regular basis; it depends when and what i decide to do. Another reason is that i like to back up all my HTML codes on cd, just in case this non-paid site ever gets shut down, i can always get it up and running again in a day, and thats always a real hassle, especially if its just for a minor adjustment. As this is my first entry, i can say, thank you for visiting my site and i hope you like it! In the not so far future I will be adding a section all about the cult classic movie Terminator 2, which i am well into, so if you are a fan, WATCH THIS SPACE!! In the meantime, hope you enjoy my site!
adios!
