I used to have dreams when I was a kid, horrible dreams about King Kong. The setting was always at my primary school. I used to run around the playground and the quadrangle and try and hide from this huge big monster. I went to a catholic primary school and there was a huge cathedral on the school grounds. In my dream I used to hide inside the church. But inside was dark. My eyes used to always find comfort in the statues of the saints and Mary and Jesus. Id wake up in a sweat. This d...

I look back on my life and wonder wha is it that sparked an interest in the wonders of the universe and why we are here. As a kid I remember looking out to the night sky and wondering if we really were the only ones here. Inside me I knew this was not the case. I used to ask to be shown, to be taken away as I really didnt feel like I belonged here on this earth. Maybe this had to do with the fact that at the age of nine I knew I was somewhat different to everyone else. Different but d...

Abu Bakar Bashir a convicted terrorist gets 30 months Jail for masterminding the BAli bombings which killed 202 people including 88 Aussies. Schapelle Corby gets 20 Years Jail for allegedly smuggling 4 kgs of Marijuana into Bali. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE??

There has been a few strange bloggers on JU lately, some funny some not so funny and some who make you think. So it got me thinking. If you were me.. well if you were phoenixboi, what would you write about? This should be interesting.

This is a call to all Australians and people everywhere who have been witnessing the injustice that was served today by the indonesian courts in Bali. I think we need to do as much as we can to help this woman who is clearly innocent. None of the evidence presented by the defence was taken into consideration. This is a slap in the face of all Asutralians especially those who have helped in the recent tragedies in Indonesia and lost their lives for them. Sign the petition, do what you...

Im ranting today..and here is why. I just woke up to this article .. Link where the Japanese government has basically told the Australian government that they will kill Humpback whales anyway, despite our Prime Minister asking in a letter to the Japanese Prime Minister not to go ahead with plans to kill at least 50 humpback whales a year for "scientific purposes". There are only 4000 humpback whales left in existence! Our Prime Minister wrote them a letter. The decent thing would hav...

Tonight here in Australia we have the footy match called "state of origin" where queensland is up against nsw in a head to head battle of rugby league. Before the game starts they all stand up to sing the Australian National Anthem. Well.. this reminds me of when I was in the USA where everyone would stand and place their hand on their hearts and sing their anthm with pride. Not here, For those blockheads who dont know it, well Ill post the words for you.. Australians all let...

Im loving the fact that I have caused a stir in JU recently about Guns. Oh the Passion! Oh the drama! Oh please.. just get over it..

Ok.. Well there is a television show here in Oz that is called "My restaurant rules", > Link where couples are given a chance to win their own restaurant and 100 thousand dollars. Ive been watching this show since it first started and now we are down to the grand final. Tonight there were three teams remaining. Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Melbourne was exempt from this vote and it was between Melbourne and Sydney. Even though I think the Melbourne team did well under the ci...

I just read a great article .. Link which suggests from some recent important studies that Vitamin D .. the best source of it that is found in Sunshine, can significantly help to prevent alot of cancers and that for every skin cancer death 30 may be prevented by vitamin D exposure. And Sunscreen blocks Vitamin D. But word of caution there are many more factors.. so have a read of the article. Make you wonder why people feel good in the summer and gloomy in the winter. ...

In all my time blogging with JU I have seen so many discussions brought up from politics to the spread of HIV to really anything you can think of.. One blogger who is someone to be commended is Bakerstreet. He really knows how to debate! And he really makes you think. Just want to take this opportunity to thank Baker!! Keep blogging man you make the mind tick and the brain active!

Im enjoying my experience here with JU. Ive met some great people, with alot of ideas and ways of living that have taught me alot of things about life and about how it is to live in other cultures. I thank them for that. And I thank people for showing me tolerance and acceptance in a world where usually ther...

Here is an article I found, I posted it as a comment on my last article on Guns are for killing.. but I think it deserves a special mention on it's own it might clear up a little of the confusion on why I think society here, where I live is different to American society. The Australian/American Gun Law Debate By Gabrielle Reilly Being an Australian American, I regularly find myself in the middle of the great gun debate between the two countries’ philosophies on gun ownership. Aust...
