Just Saying....The Environment

We humans think we're so clever. Top of the food chain, masters of our own destiny.

We're slowly kill our animals, our planet by clearing land and polluting our oceans. The earth is paying the price for our over population, paying the price for our greed and ignorance.

But when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter how advanced our technology is or how far we've come in our medical research, we're just mother nature's bitches because she will have the last laugh - we're just too stupid to realise that once we kill the environment, we're next....

The power of words....

Never underestimate the power of words....it's such a shame idiots are allowed to use them.

Same Love....

I can't accurately describe how I felt when I heard this song for the first time - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same Love (featuring Mary Lambert).

To hear it on a mainstream radio station was awesome, we've certainly come a long way....

Heather Peace live at The Loft 23/02/2013

I discovered Heather Peace through her acting in the television show Lip Service. When I found out she also sang I must admit I was a little sceptical. Actresses who are want to be pop stars seem to be a dime a dozen.

After watching the video for her song Better Than You on YouTube I realised I was very wrong in my assumption - the woman can sing.

When she announced she was touring Australia, I was keen to see her live and I was lucky enough to catch her gig at The Loft on the 23rd of February.

Heather puts on an awesome show. I was mainly blown away by how good her voice is live, a recording can not convey just how good it is, how strong and clear.

During the show she also interacted with the audience. Talking to us and answering any questions we wanted to ask, she really knows how to make the audience feel like a part of the show.

Then afterwards she stuck around for awhile and did a meet and greet.

They sold copies of her album Fairytales and a couple of different pictures you could get Heather to sign - I brought one of everything :-)

From my brief meeting with her during the signing I can tell you she is even more stunning in person than any picture or video can show. She also seems like a lovely down to earth person who's a bit of a goofball.

This was by far one of my favourite concerts I've been to - ever. If I get the chance to see Heather perform live again, I'll be there in a heartbeat and I recommend you get there too.


In the meantime check out her new single Fight For.

Peter Harvey....Canberra - the loss of a legend

Australian journalist and broadcaster Peter Harvey passed away today after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

He had been a reporter since before I was born and I can't remember a time when he wasn't on my TV. He informed many generations of people with his political reporting. Filling us in on the goings on in our nations capital and helping the everyday Australian understand the ever confusing beast - the politician.

He has kept me well informed and educated me, helped shape my view of many different topics with his distinctive deep baritone voice and his catchphrase ending of every report.

I never met the man but I will miss him.

Peter Harvey....Canberra.

Over and out.
