In the article Bathroom Politics: Introducing Students to Sociological Thinking from the Bottom Up, sociology professor Edgar Alan Burns describes some reasons why toilet paper politics is worthy of examination. On the first day of Burns’ introductory course in sociology, he asks his students, “Which way do you think a roll of toilet paper should hang?” In the following...

Had a meat-fuelled epiphany last night
Last night Noah’s Ark went to the butchers. I ate everything. Ark included.

Arrested Development
I’m constantly reminded of the boyish quality that seems to ooze out of me. It might be the four-walling approach I tend to employ but it seems I’m seen as quite the man-child every now and then. Clinging onto the optimism and general enthusiasm (and naivety?) that’s associated with the “un-jaded”. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just a reminder that I think at...
Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter
aka Slaybraham. Where history and awesomeness meet. Set to be released sometime in 2012. The movie title alone has sold a ticket due to sheer ridiculousness. What a big bucket of win.

Fried
So it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Working in the commercial world saps all my creative juices and has left my brain a deep fried, gluttonous version of it’s former glory. The past week I’ve spent working on some ridiculous investments or another and I’ve been staring at the veneer-white screen (think of staring at those people who smile and their teeth sparkle...

To the haters on Tumblr
It seems that the warm Melbourne air has brought out the Tumblr haters tonight. So here’s to you guys.
Reading a blog is completely consensual, well you’d hope. No one’s going to get you drunk and try to make you read their blog. No one’s going to read their blog to you while you sleep. A “surprise blog” is not a euphemism for a dirty act, it’s just a...
ohmygah asked: Bro, I was catching up on your blog and I just want to say that I feel the same way about being open about sex. Why all the hang ups, ya'll? I seriously love to talk about all things sexy (actually that varies with each person I am with - I would not want to talk to my ma or pa about sexy things) and I don't really understand people who are like omg-they's-got-germs-adverse to it....

My life online
Nowadays, going online is my first impulse the second I get home. Should Facebook, Tumblr or god forbid, my entire internet connection go down, so do I. The anxiety builds, and my mouse has been worn down by my fingers constantly spamming the refresh button. My life has gotten to a point where it revolves around the now, made worse the second I discovered internet was possible on my mobile. So now...

Happy New Years y’all
Good New Years I must say. My feet are dirty, cut up and sore as hell, my wrist is heavily bandaged, memories are sketchy, my head hurts, I’m still trying to find my dignity that I think I shed along with my clothes last night so all in all, I’d say it was a solid night.

Candid
Generally speaking I’ve always talked up how I enjoy people who are more open and candid than not. It’s part of the reason why I like being on Tumblr as much as I am. When I meet people who are open enough to speak their mind without much hesitation I tend to enjoy their company far more than when I meet people who dedicate so much time and effort vigilantly maintaining their image and...

Dinner for two, date for one
So as mentioned in earlier post, had drinks with a girl. She starts to loosen her tongue a little and starts talking about the date she took me on a few months ago. So it was water under the bridge. I feel sorry for her. It’s hard to try any form of subterfuge with me. As people who follow my blog will know, I’m a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to social cues which often leads to...

What is with these people?
So just came home from a few drinks. By the time I got there it quickly descended into me and two girls that I will never see eye to eye with. Oddly enough, one of them was one of the aforementioned unwitting dates I’ve been on. She explained to me in her psycho-babble what she thought of that particular night. Will get to that later.
So we started off over a few drinks and she started...

Seriously casual
Women confuse me immensely. Not because I’m st-st-stutteringly awkward without the slightest clue on how to read a social cue. Actually partially because of that, but also because my attitude towards women and relationships conflicts directly to my personality.
When it comes to relationships I’m a huge believer in live and let live. I don’t want to make someone change to fit the...
Tween
Right now I feel like an inbetweener. By that I don’t mean I feel like a tween, swooning over the Biebs, Mileys and whoever else is hitting the Disney scene these days. Are the Jonas Brothers still a thing?
No. By an inbetweener I mean someone who manages to be perpetually stuck in the messy distorted area known as the middle. A computer nerd come sports fanatic. An Asian Australian who...

So went to birthday drinks at rooftop bar tonight. Just a quiet one. Sober enough to take an hour long train ride home, hop on Tumblr and break my blogging hiatus. The birthday boy, I’m imagining, did not fare so well. Got very upset about the people he expected to turn up and the real turn out and proceeded to amp up the emo he was going through by drinking copiously. Well on top of...

This is dangerous.
I get my once-a-month paycheck in approximately 90 minutes (of which I’ll kill time by watching The Other Guys) and I’ve already spent a chunk of it in my mind. I know I should be budgeting because it needs to last me until the 15th next month but my debit card right now is like a caged animal that just got released into the wilderness and he’s surrounded by just easy access...

guy chat
I’ve tried to write this blog a few times but each time I failed to capture and articulate just how disgustingly funny and crass a bunch of guys can get. I’m not going to speak for everyone or stereotype my own gender but it’s just something I always find inappropriately funny. I’ve firmly held the belief over the years that no man should go unchecked by a woman. When you...

Just a little update
Just a little update for the sake of updating. I’m going to graduate from uni on Thursday (insert semi-enthusiastic “woo” or canned applause). To me it’s actually quite a monumental change because it signifies the moment that I can’t really be the unemployed, unaccountable free loader that I’ve been for the past 5 years. I’ve been a bit muted lately both...
