WHO NEEDS THE FACTS??

Who needs to be educated or intelligent when you can just look good in a frock and have your opinions (based on what?) accepted as gospel. I am sure these celebrities are still congratulating each other on what a massive contribution to global peace they have created.

Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah
From correspondents in Los Angeles
August 17, 2006 08:51am

NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.

The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.

It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.

"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.

"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.

"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."

A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.

The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.
Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.

Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

Proof Cats Are Evil

If they're not taking on the form of HITLER (see earlier post) they're manifesting weird powers like this!!!!

FREE AT LAST FREE AT LAST

Well not exactly free..but another set of Uni exams are now over.

SEVENTEEN SUBJECTS DOWN ...SEVEN TO GO!!!

It was with both sadness and joy that I celebrated with my special friend Carla...now finished and preparing to fly back to Canada in a couple of months...didn't we have nice drinkies that night?!

The formatting on this blog is driving me crazy (hence the weird layout) but I am hoping my talented friend can help me repair it...

CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING YOUR DEGREE CARLA!!!

FRIENDSHIP

I am 36 years old but the concept of friendship is still one I do not fully understand. Mind you I get the impression most people have a simplistic view of it also.

I have had many people in my life I have called friends. Some I have considered close friends, and have told them that I love them as such. Some I have not had any real contact with in years.

What is a friend?

As someone who has never been the centre of any social circle, I think friendship involves the connection of the essence of two people. Some of the attributes you have as a person are shared with another..they see that and are delighted at the common nature you share.

I treasure the times I have had when I have a REAL conversation with someone. Not small talk, not chat....but real communication. In the last few months I have experienced this with a few people I knew as a child (Hi to Anna and Athena!) and more recently with my sister...and with my friend Carla who is soon to return to Canada.

I feel frustrated yet again with the shallowness of our world..we chat and 'act friendly and social' with people we feel no oneness with ..and are hesitant to express to another our true feelings for them in a realistic, down-to-earth way.

I am grateful for the recent opportunity to spend time with my intelligent beautiful sister...and with my amazing friend from the north Carla. All niceties aside, it means so much that you are in my life...and I hope we will make the appropriate efforts to maintain contact. You are both worth it...

BABYHEADED DOOM AND GLOOMERS

Seen last night:

An advertisement for butter, in which a couple of senior citizens boast about how they are "ploughing through their kids inheritance" while they cruise along on what looks like a motorised tricycle.

An advertisement for......butter.

This boast was made twice in the ad just in case we missed it the first time...actually my wife and I were taken aback at the sort of mindset which would develop such a self-indulgent item. All that was missing was references to "How wild we were in the sixties!"

Seems there are quite a lot of grey-haired adolescents out there..just don't break a hip falling off your tricycle okay?
