Evil Manky Bread

I had 3 peices of bread earlier tonight - I had one peice when I came home from work - then mum bought me back a ham and egg toasted sandwich, and I ate it. Bread hates me, and I 'hate' bread....my taste buds would marry bread it likes is that much, but my insides hateeeee it with a vengence.

I feel soooooooooooo ill. blurgggggg.


I wish we had a suction tube we could just plug into our belly button and remove everything - I suppose then, everyone would be skinny, and colonics companies would be out of a job. Aneorexia and bullemia would seem kinda pointless too if we could do that....hmmmm, I estimate in ....10years time, this belly button tube will totally be available. And on that day, I will eat a loaf of bread, then set that tube on full power. ;)

Raw is my best friend, but its so harrrrd in winter, with all the food being cold.

I think some spew-age needz to occur, evil bread and its wicked gluten/wheat goodness.

Mrs Rita Cullen




So, it seems I share the same fascination as majority of teenage gurls, towards the movie/book Twilight. Only the days of my teens are prettyyy much long gone, holla-ing at the mid 20's is abit more likely with turning 24 a couple of days ago. Agh.

WHAT is it about Twilight that is so awesome? I mean, its about vampires! I saw the movie first, then read half the book, then watched the movie again (which I now OWN. Yay for Jess and birthdays) and just finished the second half of the book tonight. Such a fan! SUUUUCH a fan!

So, yep, What is it that makes it so awesome?
Wellllll, maybe the fact that Edward is so incredibly smitten by Bella.....she fascinates him, and his desires (to suck her blood) that are stronger than a heroin addiction, he can refrain from them, because his love for her, and how much he cares for her, are enough for him to resist his temptation or natural desires. The fact that he's so protective of her, saving her from harm, rescuing her from terrible situations (in the alley with the creepy men), the fact that he is OBLIVIOUS to other chicks around him giving him the eye, flirting ridicuously with him, and he doesnt even LOOK at them, or give them any look or recognition or anything to intitiate or feed the chick and her flirting, he soley has eyes for Bella, and isn't even .00001% interested in anyone else. He's so intense and attentive towards Bella. Also it might have something to do with the fact that Edward is so strong, not just in strength, but in character!


Agh, I dont even know....I can never explain what I mean when I try to describe a 'Strong' Man....I dont mean, benching 250lbs, or squatting 300lbs at the gym (although that would be ridicuoulsy amazing, I think...although I think my brother does that, the mufussa sized beast that he is). I mean strong in Character..........

Where do gurlz even get their idea though, of what a man 'should' be. And where do guys get their idea of what a chick 'should' be, in a relationship? Do we get our ideas from our parents? Which would make sense for me. Cos if you knew all the men in my family (dad, brother, cousins, uncles, on my dads side anyway) you would soon see they are all solid units, rugged, manly (again i cant describe it) MEN. Dominant.....Ummm...desicive......ummmmm...takes the lead....but at the same time - lovely and gentle, and compassionate and dare I say romantic.

So, as I was talking to a friend about Twilight. Does it just put these fictional characters on a pedistool, and create unhealthy expectations, or 'wants' for a future partner. Unrealistic expectations. I'd hate to think which fictional female character guys would be wishing their future girlfriend would be like. Like me and this friend said/thought, we DEFinitely wouldnt want those expectations put on us, only to let our partners down, failing to meet the characteristics, etc, of the fictional lady character.

It is more though, than just Edward and his awesomeness, to what makes Twilight awesome. The fact there is no swearing and junk in it, no sex scenes or anything like it, makes it so much cooler. I love that. I'm looking fwd to watching the 'behind the scenes' of the movie, but I already know the author of the book is a mormon, so she has the morals of the no sex before marriage, hence the no sex scenes in the movie and no potty mouthed characters. It's still about vampires, but pish. All good! :)

So yep, Edward is awesome, luckily I, and hopefully the rest of the population who digs Twilight can seperate a fictional movie, to reality. Pretty much the hottest thing out, is a dude totally in love with that Jesus dude. :) Holy, is hot. Way hotter than any vampire called Edward (gasp) Cullen. Seriously though. ;) A dude that oozes Jesus? Seriously the man. So if in the 4th movie of Twilight, Edward turns Christian........you miiiiight be hearing about me on BBC news, headlined 'Kiwi woman Rita Oliver takes stalking to a whole new level, Robert Pattinson (edward) triples his security'.

Yerrrrrrrrrrrrp. ;)

Playing For Change - Peace Through Music

I stumbled across this channel PlayingForChange somehow on YouTube a few days ago, and it is my absoloute favourite ever that I have found. (I have posted my three favourites so far - check them all out, love love love them ALL)

'Dont Worry'


It was an idea from a dude called Mark Johnson that thought we needed to come together as a human race, and it was through music that he thought was a good start. It started in the streets of Santa Monica in California 4years ago where he overheard a guy called Roger Ridley busking on the streets singing Stand by Me, from there Mark and his crew visited african villages, native indian reservations, subways, himalyan mountains recording musicans he found along the way. Mark said 'none of these musicans had ever met in person, it was the music that bought them together and the belief that we can do alot more for this world if we work together, than we ever could apart.

Through his recordings from all across the world, and filming these incredible amazing, beyond talented musicans that sing on the STREETS as buskers, who could sass more than half the musicians that are on our charts at the moment in a SECOND, we have these........just amazing, supa funky, absoloutely beautiful songs we can enjoy, from people across all cultures singing the same songs, i love it so much. I LOVE this.

'Chanda Mama'


Every person in these songs I think is just so so beautiful. Tula from Israel - SO so beautiful, Love her voice. Clarence from Netherlands, Grandpaa Elliot from Louisiana, Roger Ridley from California (where Playing for Change all started, with recording this guy - he's in the Stand by Me song, first singer, the MAN) and Sinamuva clan from South Africa - all just....yep, beautiful. (if you knew how sacred the words 'beautiful' and 'love' are too me and how rarely I use them...you'd get how much I ACTUALLY dig these people and their music. :) And the fact it's for a good cause is just the cherry on top :) Check them out.....links for the youtube channel and PlayingForChange website are at the bottom too... :)

(hey, they even made it to Dublin to record Bono, who is all for this kinda thang)
