Hotel made of rubbish
A NEW hotel has opened in the heart of Madrid proudly declaring that it's complete rubbish.
More of a wooden shack than a five-star establishment, the walls of the Beach Garbage Hotel are strewn with detritus dragged up by the tide, recovered from landfills or snapped up at flea markets.
Among the wall decorations: Plastic drums, wooden frames, musical instruments, striped socks, tyres, and children's books.
In the five rooms there are street lights, wobbly sideboards, and torn Persian rugs, ready to welcome the lucky winners of a Facebook competition whose prize was a free stay.
Out front, there is a small patch of sand and palm trees.
Located in the city centre's Plaza de Callao, it is the work of German artist Ha Schult, timed to coincide with Madrid's hosting of the annual international tourism trade fair.
"I created the Beach Garbage Hotel because the oceans of our planet are the biggest garbage dump," Mr Schult said.
Rosa Piqueras, spokeswoman for the environmental project, said the idea was to show something a little different from the ideal destinations touted by the tourism industry.
"We wanted to show what our holidays could become if we don't clean our beaches," she said.
About 30-40 per cent of the objects adorning the hotel were picked up from beaches in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The dirtiest, said Piqueras, were the beaches in southern Italy.
Hotel notices warn guests of environmental developments, such as: "One Spaniard in 10 no longer goes to the beach because of their bad state. Fourteen per cent of Europeans do the same."

Ocean Breeze
Wind rushing, the pull of gravity.
Balloons float on by,
Unaware of their non-existent destination.
Small feet imprint the sand,
Millions of tiny grains creating this landscape.
Tidal pull creating the movement,
White wash spilling onto the shore.
I lick my lips and can taste the salt,
I breath in the fresh Ocean Breeze.
Grammar
Grammar is important. Capitalization is the difference between helping you Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Anatidaephobia
Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
What Causes Anatidaephobia?
As with all phobias, the person coping with Anatidaephobia has experienced a real-life trauma. For the anatidaephobic individual, this trauma most likely occurred during childhood.
Perhaps the individual was intensely frightened by some species of water fowl. Geese and swans are relatively well known for their aggressive tendencies and perhaps the anatidaephobic person was actually bitten or flapped at. Of course, the Far Side comics did little to minimize the fear of being watched by a duck.
While we may be tempted to smile at the memory of those comics or at the mental image of being watched by a duck, for the anatidaephobic person, that fear is uncontrollable. Whatever the cause, the anatidaephobic person can experience emotional turmoil and anxiety that is completely disruptive to daily functioning.
Pussytown
"How did you learn, how did, how did your pussy game come up?
I was fucking parts of your pussy I never fucked before,
I was in there like, "Oh shit I never been here before,
I've never even seen this part of Pussy Town before"
I was fucking parts of your pussy I never fucked before,
I was in there like, "Oh shit I never been here before,
I've never even seen this part of Pussy Town before"
My motto for life
Cause you will never get on top off this
So mommy best advice is just to get on top of this
Have you ever had sex with a pharoah
I put the p-ssy in a sarcophagus
Now she claiming I bruise her esophagus
Head of the class and she just want a swallowship
I’m living the future so the presence is my past
My presence is a present kiss my ass

Irritation
Today I feel quite irritable. I am wanting to do things to bide the time but am feeling so unmotivated. It's hard being down at my Dad's house because catching up with friends is something that needs to be planned in advance. I'm more of a spontaneous person who likes to live for the moment and roll with whatever comes. My past still lingers in my mind. I'm finding that I have a lot of anger towards the people who have hurt me in the past. This anger is manifesting inside of me and is irritating me because I wish I could just forget the past. I feel hatred and I don't like feeling that way. I feel frustrated as I don't want to have to ever think about certain people, it makes me feel back to square one. I hate it how certain people have moulded me into the person I am today and I feel its unfair that they go along in their merry little lives while I am struggling and working so hard to remain alive. I'm hoping to God that I get into uni because I really need things to distract me. That in itself is frustrating, I wish that I could just be content doing nothing, well I would be if it didn't mean that my mind would instantly drift into it's dark side. I am sick of fighting my depression, I wish that I just didn't have depression, I wish that I would just get sad at the sad things in life and that I could be genuinely happy the rest of the time. I'm sick of feeling unsafe when I am by myself.
That's my rant for the day.
Phew.
That's my rant for the day.
Phew.

El Nino
Warm high pressure,
Cool summer's breeze.
You come every 5 years,
You leave with no eaze.
Pacific heat reservoir,
Driving earths ocean.
Nutrient rich saline water,
Putting Pacific fish in motion.

Tuesday - Clumsy Day
Just baked some cupcakes, and a jam and cream sponge cake. So yummy. I've burnt my finger on the oven which is getting more and more painful. Also was taking the bins down my drive and rolled over my foot which is now swollen. I wonder what else this day may bring me.

Monday Boredom
Last night I had a dream that my sisters were swimming down at the beach, part of the beach had been closed off because there was a hammer-head shark in the area. We were all playing around in the water and then we accidentaly drifted into the area where the hammer-head shark was. We all kind of freaked out because we could see the shark and it was massive. It then came up to us and we tried to get away, but then realised that the shark wasn't going to attack us. We then proceeded to pat the shark and swim with it. Then the ranger came and yelled at us for putting ourselves in danger. We tried to explain to him that the shark was friendly but he wouldnt listen to us. We each touched the shark lightly on the nose so then it had our scent for when we cam back next time and then got out of the water. RANDOM!

Day One
I have just spent over two weeks in hospital getting treatment and help with my depression and mood disorders. Today I was released from hospital, and have moved down to live at my dad's house. Everyone has been very supportive which is giving me the motivation to get better. I feel a bit lonely at dad's house because he lives quite far from the city, which means I am far from my friends and far from my life. It's good because i'm going to be going to uni and wont have to worry about paying rent. Just feel a tad trapped. But am conciously remaining positive!

Fresh Start
I've had a life changing few weeks.
A couple of weeks ago I came to a point where I saw no possible future for myself and took action to leave this world. After doing so and surviving I have come to realise that it was not my time to leave this world. It has taken me a while to come to this within my own mind. I have realised that you only get one chance at life, and now I have been given the opportunity to start again and give it another try. So thats what i'm going to do!

Monday
Today is Monday, got up bright and early to have my first day back at work after being off for 3 weeks sick. Got to work in my corporate outfit only to be told that I need to have a medical cert to say that i'm well enough to go back to work. So have to wait for my doctor to write me one before I can go back to work, so now i'm at home boredom.
That is all.
That is all.

Soundtrack To My Life
I got 99 problems and they all bitches.
I've got some issues that nobody can see
and all of these emotions are pourin' outta me.
I bring them to the light for you.
It's only right,
This is the soundtrack to my life,
The soundtrack to my life.
I'm super paranoid like a sixth sense,
Since my father died I ain’t been right since,
and I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe,
Split an eighth of shrooms just so I can see the universe,
I try to think about myself as a sacrifice,
Just to show the kids they ain’t the only ones up tonite,
The moon will illuminate my room and soon i’m consumed by my doom,
Once upon a time nobody gave a fuck,
It’s all said and done and my cocks been sucked,
So now im in the cut, alcohol in the womb,
My hearts an open sword and hope it heals soon.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy based on the idea that we make interpretations of ourselves, others and the world constantly. These interpretations or 'self-talk' are based on expectations and beliefs that we have learned from others or through our own experiences.
Our self-talk, therefore, determines how we feel. We may choose to interpret and event in a negative unhelpful way and therefore feel negative or in a more positive and helpful way and therefore feel positive.
Our self-talk also therefore impacts on our behaviour or the things we choose to do. In fact, it then becomes a cycle with the behaviour impacting on the original situation and giving us another opportunity to make an interpretation.
Negative Automatic Thoughts
Negative automatic thoughts can become habitual. The more you think negatively, the lower your mood is likely to become and if this happens then you are more likely to think negatively. It is a vicious cycle. You are constantly describing the world to yourself, giving each event or experience some label. You make interpretations of yourself, of what you see and hear. You judge events as good or bad, painful or pleasurable, and you predict whether they will bring you danger or relative safety. These labels and judgements are fashioned from the unending dialogue, which you have with yourself.

Pioneers
"If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time"
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time"
The Key
Richer words have come from your mouth.
Another day and I just cant sleep, I wont be allowed.
Now your breaking up, I cant hear a sound.
But you don't care, you put the phone down, continue your frown.
And then we watched it grow, but now the loves grown old.
Your leaving because theres some place you should be.
And I can't believe it, because you swore out loud that place is here with me.
If i'm so wrong then who're supposed to be, because I just wont take this.
And if you want out there's the door, here's the key.
Lately I discovered a switch.
Another switch that I just cant shake,
I need to get out.
And I dont want to stay, i'm not that proud.
Another day is enough for me, to be part of the crowd.
And so we watched it grow, but now it's all grown old.
And I dont know whether, I just dont know whether im begging for peach see,
I'm down on my knees and my hearts feeling strained by my life's just be drained.
And it's as I expected this whole things connected.
As the world kept on fighting,
We still stood united.
As the world kept on fighting,
We still stood united.
As the world kept on fighting,
We still stood united.
Genmai Cha
Genmai Cha, a combination of green tea leaves and hulled, toasted brown rice, is said to have originated in poverty, when Japanese peasants added rice as a filler to stretch the tea supply.
As a savory tea, Genmai Cha makes an excellent accompaniment to food. As the blend steeps with hot water, the roasted rice imparts a toasty and slighty nutty flavour and aroma to the subtle green tea.

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Jackson's Last Stand (Official Video)
Your always after someone's game,
You want the top, the musics not the same,
And walking out, well thats my guess,
The clocks will stop as it gets worse,
Then I dont know,
But its all gone.
It's gone, gone, gone, gone
It's time for things to get better,
It's time for things to move on,
Instead of this,
You won't, won't, won't, won't
be staying with me forever,
Cause this is, its my last stand,
It's my last stand.
You always sa'y I cant relate,
My nervous pulse tell me the same,
At least I tried to make this work,
Our problem is that your too tough,
It's thicker skin, than it's ever been.
It's gone, gone, gone, gone
It's time for things to get better,
It's time for things to move on,
Instead of this,
You won't, won't, won't, won't
be staying with me forever,
Cause this is, its my last stand,
It's my last stand.
Now you won't, now you just won't belive me,
You had your head in the sand,
Now you wont, now you just wont belive me,
You had your head in the sa-an-nd.
It's gone, gone, gone, gone
It's time for things to get better,
It's time for things to move on,
Instead of this,
You won't, won't, won't, won't
be staying with me forever,
Cause this is, its my last stand,
It's my last stand.
It's gone, gone, gone, gone
It's time for things to get better,
It's time for things to move on,
Instead of this,
You won't, won't, won't, won't
be staying with me forever,
Cause this is, its my last stand,
It's my last stand.

Annoying
So today I heard a song on triple j and was driving at the time so when I heard the name of the song I took a mental note.
Now I have just gone to find the song but cant actually remember the name, artist or any lyrics.
All that I know is that it was a good song. Which makes my whole situation even more annoying.

Hidden Notions
She's gouging her way through gravel. Kicking up stones as her feet blister through her fractured shoes.
Sulleness is the only word to describe her vacinity.
Yet, smothering the surface of her mind is a blanket of detonation. What her eyes can see is a delusion, her temperament overruling and belief of genuine existence.
Why is she lost on this unbroken path?
How can she shut off the reacurring murmours that govern the way of her concepts?
She has hidden notions, obstructed to the eyes of those who willingly share the external mirth she radiates.
Relegating the aggravation that circles her complex, she can continue her saunter with discreet disturbance.
Smiling again she commemorates her awareness of the challenges of existence.
Danica Lord.

Call it off
I won't regret saying this
This thing
That I'm saying
Is it better than
Keeping my mouth shut
That goes without saying
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been
Something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been
Something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case
I'll go there
Everyday,
To make myself feel bad
There's a chance
I'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do
I won't be out long
But I still think it better if
You take your time
Coming over here
I think that's for the best
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart

Your lipstick, his collar don't bother angel
I know exactly what goes on
And will you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinking.
This all was only wishful thinking.
Drop The World
I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes
Hate in my heart, love in my mind.
I seen nights full of pain, days of the same
You keep the sunshine, save me the rain.
And I search but never find, hurt but never cry
I work and forever try but i'm cursed, so never mind
And it's worse but better times seem further and beyond
The top gets higher the more I climb.

purple pills
I take a couple uppers
I down a couple downers
But nothing compare
To these blue and yellow purple pills
I been to mushroom mountain
Once or twice but who's countin'
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple pills.
Cool, calm, just like my mum
With a couple of Valium inside her palm
It's Mr. Mischief with a trick up his sleeve
to roll up on you like Christopher Reeves
I cant describe the vibe I get
When i drive by 6 people
And 5 I hit
Ah shit
I started a mosh pit
Squashed a bitch
And stomped the foster kids
These shrooms make me hallucinate
Then sweat till I start losing weight
Till I see dumb shit start happening'
Dumber than Vanilla Ice trying to rap again
So bounce, bounce, c'mon bounce
I said c'mon bounce
Everybody in the house with half an ounce
Not weed I meant coke dumb ass sit down
We dont bullshit, better ask around
D12 throws the bombest bash in town
Bizarre, your mum is passing out
Get her ass on the couch before she crashes out.

sleepyhead
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going
And you said, it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions, with all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going
And you said, it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions, with all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
Paper towels vs Electric hand-dryers
You're in a public bathroom with clean, dripping hands, standing infront of an electric hand dryer and a paper towel dispenser. What do you do?

The Unspoken Rules of Train Etiquette
With the start of my new job in the city, I have been catching the train to and from work in order to save money on parking/ petrol and also to save the stress of being in peak hour traffic early in the morning or in the late afternoon when you are just wanting to get home.
The more I have been catching the train the more I have realised that there seems to be some unspoken rules of train etiquette.
These rules aren't enforced by law or any form of authority just enforced by the stares from the other passengers on the train as the visually tear you to pieces for breaking The Unspoken Rules of Train Etiquette.
Offenders often seem to be ignorantly unaware of the proper ways to act correctly on a train.
Jumping ahead a few steps; these rules seem to come into full effect at times of peak hour train usage, which means that during peak hour there is no tolerance to breaking any of The Unspoken Rules of Train Etiquette; where a on a train trip in the middle of the day where there aren't as many passengers the rules are relaxed to some degree.
This is probably due to the fact that the other passengers are more relaxed and lenient as they aren't on their way to work or coming home from a stressful day trying to stay afloat in the corporate sea.
I'm going to do the unthinkable and speak of The Unspoken Rules of Train Etiquette.
Rule #1 - Don't have your Mp3 player (aka Ipod) cranked to its full potential so the whole carriage can hear your music. Very rarely would someone enjoy listening to the second hand sound waves of the latest Aria top 40 countdown or Tom Jones greatest hits.
Rule #2 - When travelling with friends try not to talk about how many chicks you banged on the weekend or how you injected heroin into your eyeball to achieve the ultimate high. Nobody cares. Not even your mate.
Rule #3 - Don't stare at people and most definitely don't let them catch you staring at them as that leads to eye contact which is totally inappropriate and unacceptable in such situations. This isn't your Sunday morning walk where you say hello to every person you pass. This is train life, so keep your stares focused on something other than neighbouring passengers.
Rule #4 - Mobile phone usage is similar to Rule #2 in that having a conversation on the phone in a cramped environment such as a train carriage is just out of order. People don't want to hear anything you have to say and don't want to be obliged to listen to your voice as that is the loudest noise echoing through the carriage.
Rule#5 - Laughing or showing any signs of happiness in peak hour train rides is also condemned as it reminds people around you how unhappy they working for 'The Man'.
Rule#6 - When travelling through a tunnel be sure that no one catches you looking at your reflection in the window as that can be highly embarrassing and can also lead to the dreaded eye contact situation.
Rule#7 - In the event of any disorderly passengers causing a scene in your carriage make sure you do not acknowledge the situation and focus very hard on pretending like nothing is happening. Here is an example of something you can think so that no body realises you are interested in the situation arising: 'No there is not a drunk person rolling around on the floor. Everything is calm. This is a beautiful world. I love my job. The person on the floor is not taking their clothes off.' Repeating that over and over in your head will help to keep you anonymous to the situation. Heaven forbid you pay attention to anything going on outside your own world.
By following these rules it will mean that you blend into the crowd and go about your day unnoticed working for your important overzealous corporate company who will inevitably squeeze any creative, individual and original juices from you until your are old and dried up ready for retirement. Oh happy days.

Ganesha
The son of Shiva and Pavrati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities whose idolarty is glorified.
Significance of Ganesha Form
Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existance, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents 'Om', the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.
The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the Mahabharata. The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of Atman. His fan like ears convey that he is all ears to petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms.
Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations.

What makes an itch itch?
It used to be thought that the sensation of itching was caused by low level stimulation of the nerves responsible for feeling pain. Like pain, the feeling of itchiness is delayed slightly from the event that causes the pain or itch. But both sensations lead to different responses. Pain leads to a reflex action that removes us from the source of injury while an itch causes us to scratch. Interestingly, scratching too can be a reflex reaction that needs no input from the brain.
While itching can be caused by lots of conditions such as eczema and jaundice, what about all those Itch's with no obvious cause? Well, a lot of the time is psychological - how many times have you itched while reading this? Weird itching tends to be more common in those with drier skin such as old folk and is made worse by irritants. If your not old or ill with some serious disease or infected with lice, its probably just all in your mind.
