First of all, if you’re still checking this ol’ blog… colour me impressed. As you’ve probably noticed, I haven’t been updating around these parts for some time. However, I’ve just started a new blog which you might be interested in. It’s a blog about Melbourne, so if you don’t live in Melbourne, then… forget it. [...]

You know what I’ve always had a fear of? Property auctions. It’s way too easy to make a costly mistake, and I’ll tell you why. See, I’m always rather paranoid when I’m going about my business and need to walk past an auction. The auctioneer is always bellowing and screaming, while everyone stands around and [...]

It’s a pretty amazing situation: the entire apartment block frequently hangs out as a group socially. Everyone knows each other, and it sure doesn’t seem like there’s any secrets. Driveway [...]

Time to Get This Dirty Teenage Secret Out in the Open

Jeb — Mon, 24 May 2010 09:00:08 +0000

It’s time to confess something which I’ve repressed since puberty. A deep, dark secret that only a handful of friends are aware of. Y’see, as a teenager, I made that eventual transition from loving cheesy top 40 music to angry, alternative music… just like any angsty pubescent kid does. In my case, I began a [...]

Ever found yourself at a party thinking “Wow, there’s way too much Threadless in here?” If you’re unfamiliar with Threadless, you’ve doubtlessly stuck to clothing purchases along the lines of a heshen sack in recent times.
