I haven't posted anything for quite a while and it's only because I find it very difficult to do much of anything.
I must say that I am extremely thankful for the most kind and appreciative comments both here and in my Guestbook, they really make me feel better knowing that there are so many nice people in this world. But I have yet to understand what it is that so many of you find so fascinating about what I consider an extremely insignificant website in the vastness of the Internet.

Most people outside Australia wouldn't realise what has just happened here. We have our first female Prime Minister running this country in it's history, and she got there because of the existing Prime Minister (Kevin Rudd) making a complete idiot of himself. Now please bear with me as there is a point to this that really affects everyone on this planet.

About 3 years ago, Kevin Rudd was elected as being the most popular Prime Minister in the history of this country - he couldn't do a thing wrong and when elected he started to keep all of his promises. After several months, hes was always overseas on "important issue", he very publicly became known for his bad temper and disregard for others and seemed to have "foot and mouth disease", meani9ng that he always shot of his mouth before thinking and subsequently had no idea what he was talking about. As happens to many others placed in positions of high authority, he became overawed with his own self-importance and chose not to listen to anyone else (because HE knew better than everyone else?).

In 3 short years he went from the most popular Prime Minister in this country to the most unpopular and in a matter of 24 houre he was out on his plump little bum - in disgrace and crying (what a pansy).

The point of all this is a lesson to us all - "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". There is no-one on this planet who is any better than anyone else. Some may be better at one thing, excel in spots, science, philosophy etc, but the end result is that this planet is a closed system and we all breathe the same air, drink the same water, eat the same food. We are born - live and die and there is no way to change that.

We may be placed in a position of authority, but it is an extremely fragile position over which we have very little control and it';s important to remember that in the blink of an eye our whole world can change (and that includes you!).

So if you are in a powerful position in society, just be aware that it's only on loan and while you're there, be nice to others as you're really no better that them - and they're no less as good as you.

We are ALL equal.

Live in peace people...

This link was posted to me by a friend and it's definitely worth watching.
It's a video on youtube, made about 3 years ago by a 13 year old boy named Declan Galbraith. The song is called "Tell me Why" and the words are something that all of us need to listen to and be reminded of.
He reminds me very much of a young Michael Jackson, his voice is very similar.

Take a few minutes out of your day, watch and listen to it and understand.

I get a laugh out of this, so I thought that I'd share it with the world. It's pretty much the definition of the typical Internet moron who's only claim to fame in life is prowling around the net and posting stupid comments wherever he can.
On the new page I set up where people can post links (see my previous post), a certain person (and I've got a pretty good idea who), posts bogus links in an attempt to cause me problems.

Now this is the funny part:

None of the links anyone posts show up until I approve them and it doesn't matter how many bogus entries this idiot makes, it ONLY takes me about one second (one click of the mouse button) to delete them all.

BUT

It takes much longer than that for this idiot to post these bogus links one at a time and also going through proxies in an attempt to hide his identity.

So here we have some imbecile with the intelligence of a rock attempting to inconvenience me by spending more of his time posting stuff to my site than it takes me to delete it.

Anyway, I thought I'd share this with the world, because it gives me a giggle every time I click the delete button and think about how long it took this idiot to post the links and how long it takes me to delete them.

Wow!! I actually added a new bit to my website!!

Added a free links page where you can submit your website, or a website that you think may be of benefit to others. Perhaps a site full of free stuff, or a useful program, is educational, contains tutorials or is just plain fascinating.

My site is visited by Google's spider on a weekly basis, so you can be guaranteed that any sites listed will at least be read by Google's search spider.

There's just a couple of things to know:

Links are NOT automatically included. I'll personally visit any websites submitted and if you're trying to sell something, running a scam, running an illegal site or it's not child friendly - then you're wasting your time.

I don't plan on having thousands of links as there are already many sites doing that - I just want ones that I consider beneficial to other people.

The link's at the bottom if you wanna have a looksie...

Well, I've decided to keep the site running for a while longer. My hosting runs out in June this year, but I've decided to renew it for at least another year.
Why the change of heart, you say?
Well, I'll tell you!

For a long time now I have become disillusioned with life, and find it difficult just getting through each day. I have very little interest in this website and it has become an effort to manage it, even though it doesn't require much effort.
Since announcing that I would be shutting it down, I have had many offers of help, including free hosting. I am amazed at the number of people who visit this site and the number of people who have asked me to keep it going. I still cannot understand what so many people find on this site that is so interesting.

I've thought about it for a few months now and decided that since so many people seem to get a measure of enjoyment from this site, I will keep it going for a while longer. I'm not sure if I'll add anything new as I find it extremely difficult to do anything anymore, but I guess we'll just wait and see.

I am very gratified to know that I have been able to bring some pleasure into a few lives by maintaining this website.

Please remember: Everything on this site is completely free, so if you do find anything useful, then you can repay the favour by doing something nice for someone in need. It won't cost you anything, and you may even feel good about yourself!

Live in peace
