Lindsey Stirling

I tried to upload a link earlier and guess what ? Can’t get it right.

Will have to start all over again, but it is time I started writing again, it’s still a crazy world out there.

The biggest loss for my year would have to be Steven Jobs, RIP. One can only wonder the future of Apple. I have converted my entire house to Apple, hope it wasn’t a mistake, because I do love the way it all works together except for bluetooth between my iPhones and iPads, go figure.

The air play feature with the Apple tv is awesome and we have spent many a night in front watching cool you tube videos and others entertaining with the music coming out simultaneously from four different outlets.

My iPod has taken a back seat since the new acquisitions, and I only seem to plug it in to keep the battery charged, shame, it used to be my best friend.

My iPad was slow to get started with but after a couple of months of playing it has now become my second right hand. I use it for work for reading, for music and of couse Facebook, Twitter…..

I bought my wife a new 11″ Air instead of an iPad and she loves it, besides with the new iPad 3 on the way, she can have my old one to play with anyway.

Had a shot at being the 25th billion app purchaser, a $10000 iStore gift card, didn’t win, oh well.

I am going to try and put this link in again for Lindsey Stirling she is well worth the time to listen and watch her awesome talent.

I have so many things to talk about, hmm, first bitching.

I hate people who, when driving on the freeway, think that one space, is going to make a difference.

I hate people who come to a dead stop on an empty roundabout and who stop at the left hand give way signs when the lights for their lane are green.

I hate shops that don’t have eftpos.

I hate internet scams.

I hate illegal immigrants that come in on boats and then burn down the facilities we provide for them whilst they get processed taking all the spots from those trying to do it legally.

Ok enough of that then. Feel free to reply to those either way, or add new ones, Facebook or Twitter.

I have posted a couple of flash signs on my fat loss reviews page from the Reviews tab above.

I know the signs are bright but the products are sound and they work well together, give it a go.

Now the weather patterns haven’t improved around the world, Earth quakes are still happening in NZ and Japan, is there going to be a lull or is it going to be on going to a crescendo of worldwide devastation ?

Economics haven’t improved of late, jobs in construction are still difficult to win, with so many companies competing for every little job. We are at the end of the “economic stimulus package,” and the abundance of Government jobs have been or are being, completed. So what now ???

Fuel we were told should come down by, “up to 5c per liter over the next week or two,” yet it has gone back up three cents this week.

The war on drugs is costing us more and more with illegal labs popping up every where keeping our forces stretched. Why don’t we just legalize them, register the users and supply them from chemists, this will end the black market, guarantees the users with consistent, chemist made, regulated drugs or regulated grown drugs, creates new jobs and businesses all under regulation same as alcohol. Just look at America’s history with prohibition all that achieved was creating some of the worst Mafia’s and crime Syndicates in history and they still thrive today through drugs and the fact that they are illegal. Do we ever learn ???

On a brighter note, I have recently discovered, “HEX Bugs”, http://hexbug.com/nano, to have a look. Great for kids presents and big kids too. Get a beginners environment and an extra bug or two, they can be rather mind numbing.

The best movie to date, “THE GREEN HORNET”, without a doubt the most entertaining movie I have seen for years, I pissed myself with laughter.

Keeping it real,

Beaver

At last they have killed him, I am sorry we didn’t get to see his dead body for personal confirmation.

There are too many conspiracy stories, to just believe.

Who says that his death, by American’s, isn’t a fraud to help boost the failing American economy.

This news if true, is great news, but the war on terror continues and what does all this mean to us?

Does the American $ get stronger now the threat of Osama is over ?

Do oil prices return to a sensible price ?

Can our boys come home from battle ?

Can we relax again at the airports of the world ?

The answer of course is NO.

The fact is we are paying the price of living because of Sept 11 2001, this will not change, it may well stabilise, but prices will not go down. Oil is and has been a dwindling resource for some time now, the price has been set in cement to go up, right till only the richest, can drive a car or we find a new method of propulsion. Horse prices could be set to soar, hows your riding skills, Ha ha.

Our boys will never come home. They will just rotate until we own the oil, this is the most important thing. Lives are meaningless, wars are imagined, ideas are crushed and all for oil and the power with the money it generates to control the masses.

Heightened security at our borders has turned up so much more contraband than ever before they will never be lightened and who’s to say another Bin Laden doesn’t come along anyway.

The bottom line is things are just the same.

There will be no changes for us, our prices will continue to go up and income barely go up, cars will still be made and sold with the dream of everlasting oil with better consumption and we will still be fed bullshit.

If Osama is dead, that is a shame, captured would have been preferred, the stories he could have told would have been interesting, especially his time with and purpose for the CIA, here’s to hoping he wrote a book. But at the same time it is good to know he is not plotting against us, if he ever was. America says he is dead so we will believe.

Osama is dead…

We seem to be on the edge of a new world, one we are just starting to feel. I think Mother Nature is just waking and she is pissed. We still don’t stop drilling, mining and sucking the life blood from our Planet. How many more warnings will she give us before it is too late. It can’t be us and if it is money is still so much more important than our future survival on Earth, the sadness I feel for our insatiable greed is more than one person should bear. I hope more people are out there that can see what is happening.

We need to do something to stop the whirlwind we are already in if it isn’t too late and if it is what can we do to survive ? What plans are in place to take us through the disasters we are just starting to experience ? 2012 is starting to be a real threat, will it happen ? It certainly is starting to look like it is in full effect.

Worried about our future,

Beaver

I can’t work, I can’t play golf, I can’t even ride my chopper it is just too hot, sticky and uncomfortable.

We are living in a nice house on the west coast in Mullaloo, this house hasn’t had a chance to cool down in over a month and consequently we are suffering. Yes we have air-con, but it can’t match the heat that it opposes, only one room is cooled by it, so our family has now moved into this one cool room in the house, you can just imagine the state of this room.

We have at least another week of this heat to face, it has broken the record book for consecutive days and temps already with more to come. You can’t tell me that global warming is a myth we are living the results now and it has only just started, according to the predictions.

Is 2012 a reality or is it another failed prediction, I am leaning towards reality, as we experience one natural disaster after another along with extreme weather patterns.

Is this the beginning of the end????

I hope not, but what do you expect from a planet we have pillaged and raped without care or remorse. I hope we haven’t damaged our world beyond safe repair. I hope that good sense will over-ride greed and personal gain, as these things will have no bearing in the days to come, lets not let it get there, we can do more individually we can make a difference, as a movement we can change the world.

Hoping we can work together,

Beaver

Why can I buy an Iphone4, for US$400, but here in Aussie it costs me Au$998, why?????

I can get full golf club sets, sent over from the US for 1/3rd of the price on offer here, we are dollar for dollar with America why are we still paying the same price for things they pay half for. Something has to change.

I could easily accept the price difference when our Aussie dollar was worth US$0.65c, which has been the way for so long. Shouldn’t it make sense that our prices should fall to match the rest of the western world. I mean come on, everything is made in China these days, how can shipping to USA be cheaper than Aussie we would have to be half the distance.

So it comes down to being, ripped off. How much can an Aussie take? The classes used to be rich, middle, average and poor, now we have only very rich, struggling and poverty. This can’t go on, an income of Au$75k a year, is no longer a good wage, it is borderline welfare. Anywhere else in the world, it would be a fantastic income, but not here, particularly in Perth, a pint of beer costs $10 bucks these days.

I am not surprised that retail sales are at an all time low. Who would buy at retail outlets, not including groceries and petrol, we are trapped there, but not elsewhere. The internet is offering bargains we can’t refuse, I mean everything is half price, if not more. So what do you do???

Well I am spending on the internet, not good for our businesses but I can’t afford them, can you?

How can we as Australians help a country that is ripping us off.

Pissed, confused and bewildered,

Beaver…..

I am sure I am not the only person out there that is feeling the pinch, money is harder to make and quicker to lose.

Where does it all end??

Are we going to end up a divided nation, haves and have not? We can already see the lucky ones they stand out with their boats, sports cars and mansions.

But what about the rest of us who struggle to make ends meet, what is our future?

I don’t want for 50ft yacht or a Ferrari. I would like a big house, any house to be honest, the prices are just too high, a house worth $150k-$250k on moderate world markets is 3x the cost here in Australia, particularly in Perth, meaning if you don’t have family support or a great job, which in my experience, mostly comes from family support as well,  to get into your first house then you are stuffed, as I am.

A standard grocery shop costs on average $350 a week for two adults and two young boys. Electricity which has gone up by 40% in two years. Phone bills have gone up by 5%+. Fuel has gone up $0.20c in the last three weeks. Materials have gone up 10% in the last year. Everything has gone up except our income, if anything the margins are getting tighter.

What do we do??

I don’t know…..

Looking for answers and some relief from ever-increasing prices.
