Happy 2007!!!

I'm starting my year late. Apologies to everyone who I haven't spoken to in a while...

I've just rediscovered my blog(s) after months at sea. Well, no, I haven't been anywhere. I did find that the internet lunatics are using me for advertising so no more free comments. It's alright though. I don't expect as many comments as I got last year, unless some other idiot tries to trash my country. Guess who won. He certainly didn't.

Also, Blogger has had a face lift since I've been gone. Cool beans hey? The whole BetaBlogger. Geddit? Although I'm so late on the scene that it's just normal Blogger again.

I was going to include a photo here but I have nothing new on this PC. Pity. There's always next time.

Happy New Year again and have a cracker of a year. I'm not going to transplant the lyrics of a song into my post cos that's just corny, unless it isn't a corny song. *AHEM*

"You packed your last two bags. A taxi's 'round the bend.
You used to laugh out loud, But you can't remember when.
You lost your lies. It's like your moving out of time,
And the whole word crumbles right beneath you.

"So, I might've made a few mistakes,
But that was back when you would smile,
And we would go everywhere,
But we ain't been there for awhile.
And this I know,
There's a place that we can go
A place where I can finally let you know.

"'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
We're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.

"I hope you find whatever you've been lookin' for.
Just remember where you're from and who you are,
'Cause there's a thousand lights that'll make you feel brand new,
But if you ever lose your way, I'll leave one on for you.

"'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
So, come back, get here, sit down. Relax. Everything's to see
That you've come a long, long way, And it's the place that you should be.

"'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.

"And we're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon."

Addy

EAT THIS MySpace!

So, Addy is getting a little technical. Notice the music on my blog. Too cool (you might have to press play, but that's cool too cos then it's your choice to hear it or not). Some songs are a bit weird, so tell me if you come across one and I'll try to remove it. The radio will eat up your bandwidth if you're in South Africa, so don't expect your other sites to load too quickly while you're listening to my selection.

So, to all you MySpace users, Blogger still has it. And I don't have all that annoying advertising and bad kitsch floating crap.

Good news: I'm ready for PCR. I know that makes no sense to anyone reading this but it's a big thing for me... it means I don't have to spend another couple of weeks in the lab extracting DNA.

Bye for now. The weekend beckons.

Are You Taking Me On?

I wouldn't suggest it. If you want, I can post daily. I know you have time to read it all.

...and for those of you who might have found your way here through 'other means', well done. This is my real blog. The one that doesn't have hundreds of people reading it each day. Has anyone heard that Bootleg slash rewording slash parody (I think parody is the right word) of Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It's about blogging. "I blog alone, I blog alone"

OK you lucky sods. Here are the words. If you're really lucky and if you ask me nicely, I'll find the mp3 and let you know where it is or email it to you.

"I spill my guts online
At live dot home dot blog my name dot com
No one hits my site But it's home to me and I blog alone

I dish out brilliant quotes
On the blogger board of broken links
Guess who leaves me notes?
Yes, I'm the only one and I blog alone
I blog alone I blog alone
I blog alone I blog a-

I work all Day to make the Web admire me
It's not my Job; if my boss knew, she'd fire me
That's fine; the New York Times would beg to hire me
Till then I BLOG ALONE

Bla-ah, bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og Bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og

I mock celebrities, Politics and sports and TV shows
Then I Google me
And hope it links to where I blog alone

I can't sleep at night
Even on vacation far from home I pull up my site
To know I'm still online and I blog alone
I blog alone I blog alone
I blog alone I blog a-

My only Friends are avatars and smileys
I humbly Post my views then praise them highly
Some day I'll Sell my soul like Bill O'Reilly
Till then I BLOG ALONE

Bla-ah, bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og Bla-ah, bla-ah
I blog alone I blog alone

I unmask media lies
On the blogger board of broken links
Guess who leaves replies?
Yes, I'm the only one and I blog alone
Hey, look, they Praised me in the News on Sunday
My site got Thirteen million hits in one day
Okay, I Lied, but that could happen some day
Till then I BLOG ALONE"

I BLOG ALONE
Parody of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion

So I didn't get thirteen million hits, but a couple of thousand isn't bad.

Back to the news of the day, if you take me on sister, I'll mock politics and unmask media lies till I'm ble in the face. Save us both the hassle and accept it when we're not up to blogging. This whole competition thing is not my style.

Cool, now I've written a load of rubbish, I've quoted a song and I've done two postings on The Unbroken Barometer (link for my Google ratings, although if you search "Unbroken Barometer" I'm already #1!). I'M WEENING I'M WEENING.

ZZzzzzzzzzzz

Unbroken Barometer Button

I'm still here

As you may have noticed, my other blog has kept me quite busy, but there are one or two things to say.

Hello.

I would have preferred Nadal to have won. He was too nervous in the first set.

Zidane was apparently provoked, but I don't think so. I told Jitz on Saturday night that Zidane looked like a gangster. I also said at the BEGINNING of the World Cup that Italy were going all the way. Looks like I was right on both accounts.

I need some breakfast now, so I'll say goodbye, but first I want to post a comment here that I found on the Unbroken Barometer. I know it's a cheap move: stealing comments from my other blog, but it is one of my favourites, and it's not appropriate to put on the other blog. It's nice to occassionally find one cool comment amidst all of the "I can't wait until you or a close family member gets attacked. THEN you'll see" What's that all about?

Anyway, here is the comment:

Adam, It is because people like you still dare to dream that I have hope in our future. Thanks for this website and your sentiment!! J

Cool. I do have supporters!

Bye then.

The Unbroken Barometer

If you're looking for my new blog, the Unbroken Barometer, click here. I don't have much time to explain it to my loyal readers on this blog, because I have 400 comments on the other page to deal with.

Hope you're all having a good day.

What do you think of the new 2010 logo? And sis, I've got my comments now, innit?

Cheers
