OK im back after a particularly blue friday evening ..
thought i might cheer myself up a bit by catching up on whats been going in the world with some surfing?
Not that scanning through the news is a surefire way to beat the blues - I just read that Lance Armstrong and his fiance Sheryl Crow have split up !Seems abit odd after anouncing on their engagement so recently? They relelased a press statement to People magazine saying that they have made the very difficult decision to split up. I am shocked - but then again i just hate it when people break up. Specially such cool couple. Hope its not true. I guess the thing is - if beautiful, successful people cant make it work - what chance do us normal folk stand?
Just read a frightening statistic - apparently one in ten divorces in America is becuase a partner is gay. Hectic - whats happening to the world. One would think that years of enlightment - pride marches and men in pink shirts would have taught children that its ok if you want to be gay.
My psychology professor at university said to us that - when children are small -they have no idea about gender appropriate toys. Whilst it can be alarming when little Jonny asks for a malibu barbie for christmas - far more damaging is the reaction the request is met with. Anyway - its not like playing with dolls make boys gay. I think if more men played with barbies - wars would not happen. Somebody hand George Bush a barbie :P
On that note - has anybody been keeping track of the barbie evolutions? When i was little barbie was my favourite role model - and recently when my five year old cherub-like cousin came over I was convinced to bring them out and have a go at some hairbrushing - outfit picking fun.
Anyway heres a funny one - Redneck Barbie! hahahahhaaha - i laughed myself sick.
Anyway enough rambles from this corner - my honey is cracking open a bottle of woolworths "Wild White" - which i am quite excited about.
Im off to pretty up abit and go have some fun.
