I Come From the Land Downunder...

Filed under: Posts — Juji @ 06:21:19 pm

I thought I might fill you in what's goin' on round town. It's a pretty busy time with festivals, outdoor events and a huge build up to the Commonwealth Games. It's going to be mayhem, as well as lots of fun. The official countdown is 22 days to go. There'll be a huge, free festival - including circuses, live music (lots of Latin and African for hot-blooded dancing), yummy food, ridiculous amounts of wine, shows and art exhibitions and the list goes on. Oh yeah. There'll be sport too I reckon. Should be a whole lotta fun. We had the gay and lesbian Midsumma festival last weekend. It, like always, was a blast.

Aussies however seem to be laying low a bit of late. We've all had our summer hols and it seems lots of people are already stuck in a bit of a work grind (I personally prefer a different king of grind, but that's another story). Our summer finished early. It's not officially over, but the days and nights are much cooler. I went down the beach yesterday and even though it was still a gorgeous day, there weren't many people around. We went from 5-day heatwaves of 40 degrees (I think you double it and add 30 for Fahrenheit - or something like that) to going to bed with hot wheat bags and the heater on! Still, most days are sunny and nice - I guess it's more Springish. Must say I'm feelin' a bit cheated though. It usually stays pretty hot till the end of March, so I got no idea what's goin' on. What I do know is my suntan's fading fast and I gotta get out there when I can.

On another note, Xavier Rudd, Aussie, dreadlock boy from surftown, Torquay, was due to do a concert at a wild natural ampitheatre in the middle of nowhere (Wangaratta) - on my birthday. Of course, it was a sign from God! So I got tickets, only to find out later he had to postpone due to a severe throat infection. How rude! No matter, I've got it to look forward to in April. I also scored two free tickets to the Latin Wine Funk Festival coming up at the Rochford Winery in the stunningly beautiful Yarra Valley. Wine, great food, salsa and samba, lots of and boys - it's gonna be wild!

In the meantime, my fridge is too warm so food's going off faster than I can eat it.
My stove's too hot and won't turn down, so everything burns.
My stick blender struck a plum pip and spat the dummy.
So, faced with a burnt, lumpy pumpkin soup, I decide this could be an excellent opportunity for losing weight. Or on second thoughts, this is an excellent opportunity to dine out more!

What's going on in your home town? Yeah, I know you ain't got the Commonwealth Games comin' up, but it's still all interesting. Juji x

Did you know that 2% of all members go to your blog on the site? Congrats! They love you. That averages to about 500 readers per day. Question, how many dates does it take before Ozzie's become boyfriend and girlfriend?

Question: Why Latin, Wine, and Funk? In America that's 3 different festivals.

Now, I've got a question you 500 guys and gals might want to help me out with. I'm not sure why you read me but rarely talk to me. Is it 'cos you don't know what to say? Do you think I'm a strange or intimidating human? I assure you, I am just as normal as normal can be with all the same idiosyncracies all of us humans have. Do you think you've got nothing valuable to add? Are you shy? What? Do you think you have to be great with words 'cos that ain't the case, and I know lots of you have lots of different languages as your native tongue. (Mmmm...native tongue...does conjure up some images - he's barely clad and his muscles are all-a-ripple). Where was I? Do you know you can put any name and any email address in the requested fields, and that you don't have to put your URL - whatever that is, 'cos I'm a techno-retard. I get lots of my ideas from people - yeah, that's you guys. I'd really love you to tell me why you're talk-shy, and, yeah, I realise that means actually talking to me. Can't do it all on my own. I await with baited breath.

Hawkwind, Aussies are into threesomes.

Threesomes scare me. How do you know whe to stop?

When the salsa gets too sizzling, the wine too whoozy and the funk too funky

I have been involved in a sixsome.

You, a bag of doritos, and 4 beers doesn't count buddy.

I like hotdogs.

Well, missed you all over the last coupla days - it's been somewhat hectic with work commitments, a wheezing cat - and car come to think of it - and general life stuff. Much looking forward to some beach time later today and this weekend. Has anyone got anything special planned?

In case you haven't read it, in LA Story Part 11, Jed had the audacity to assume I'd offered him a blowjob. What audacity! What arrogance! What a leap of a bitter and twisted imagination! What wishful thinking!
