Rants.
I never thought the following words would come out of my mouth but ‘I love the French’.
I love them because they show two new episodes of The Shield a week which is twice as much as our friends in the US.
The Shield is one of the best Cop shows ever and also has a spot in my top 5 shows of all time. It really is that good and I beg you to please sit down and watch the first couple of seasons if you haven’t seen this show or given it a fair run as it will have you hooked.
And with this Season 6 has started and is already shaping up to be the best season of The Shield to date and for those who have seen previous seasons this is a very good thing.
Nintendo and Telstra have struck up a deal where you are now able to use your Nintendo DS at any of the many many Telstra WiFi hotspots for free!
Telstra hotspots are located at Mc Donalds, Starbucks, Airports, Hotels and many other places.
Update: Press release can be found here and a list of Telstra hotspots (there’s a lot) can be found here
Straight off the bat I am not a very religious man. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe in a god or that maybe we are the product of some alien experiment, it’s just that I haven’t signed up to one of the many religious groups on offer.
So with this I started thinking about the Easter weekend and think that I have come up with an ‘alternative’ view on what it’s all about.
I call it the Testivus for the Restofus
First up is Good Friday, where everyone seems to be doing it for the kids so that they may grow. But what am I supposed to do? I hear you ask. Well that’s simple, you drink. Drink so they may grow. You don’t want any kiddies getting ill because you didn’t smash beers now do you? I know it’s a fair bit of responsibility to have on your shoulders especially but hey shut up and take one for the team. We’re doing it for the kids you selfish bastard.
From there the rest of the weekend is a bit of a blur but hey at least those little kiddies will live for one more year.
What does happen though is during the remaining days of festivities the Easter Bunny will deliver an egg people from all around will come and from that egg little baby Jesus hatches and pops out his head to decide if there will be another long week of winter.
That’s about all I’ve got (or at least remember) for now so if you have any suggestions for what else the Testivus for the Restofus may hold let me know.
Until then enjoy you’re long weekend.

Gigs.
Saw Dropkick Murphys and Reel Big Fish last week and hands down I think these two shows are going to be sitting pretty at the top of my ‘Gig of the Year’ list come the end of the year.
The common link between both of these gigs was the lack of ‘attitude’ and general sense of enjoyment had by all where in a time of Emo where dudes either have a chip on their shoulder or are just trying that little bit too hard to be cool (or not cool I can never work that out) it was great to be at surrounded by like minded people who were there to have a bit of a sing song and a jig.
Both bands were brilliant while delivering a solid and lengthy set.
I don’t think you could fault either show and to have that happen twice in the same week in what is becoming ‘The year of the gig’ took me by surprise and left me with a big dumb smile on my face.
