big fat rant

seriously... where are all the nice, normal, sane guys??? does australia have any???
because all I've found so far are the arseholes,/cheaters,/severe emotional problems/manipulative jerk types who think women are just there to look after them and be their "bed warmers"

I think I was right when I was a teenager.... I am never going to get married.

but... you know what? I'd rather remain single for the rest of my life than marry Mr wrong because I didn't want to be alone.

Please sign this petition against animal cruelty

It is about skinning animals while they are still alive for their fur. (Cats and dogs)

I haven't watched the video on the site because i have been warned how disgusting and cruel it is.. But I can imagine what goes on in the video.

Please please sign the petition!

This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little.

This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little.

Once upon a time in a land far away,
A beautiful, independent, self assured princess
Happened upon a frog as she sat
Contemplating ecological issues on
The shores of an unpolluted pond
In a verdant meadow near her castle.

The frog hopped into the princess’s lap
And said: “Elegant lady, I was once a handsome prince,
Until a evil witch cast a spell over me.

One kiss from you, however, and I will turn
Back into the dapper, young prince that I am
And then, my sweet, we can marry
And set up housekeeping in your castle
With my mother
Where you can prepare my meals,
Clean my clothes, bear my children,
And forever feel grateful
And happy doing so.

That night as the princess dined scrumptiously
On lightly sautéed frogs legs
Seasoned in white wine
And onion cream sauce,
She chuckled and though to herself

I don’t think so, froggy!!

I work intuitively, spontaneously, and symbolically with the elements of time and space. Strong colours, gestures and brushwork all come together in dramatic and energetic compositions of my own particular iconography. I am fundamentally interested in conveying all the trials and tribulations of life, love and the beauty that can be found in it all. The warm happy colours I choose often contradict the underlying fierce emotions I wish to convey.

Throughout my life I have lived all over Australia and have seen many different places before moving to where I currently live in Bundaberg Queensland.

An award winning Artist, I paint using whichever tools feel right to portray the emotion of the piece and my art is shown in many Queensland and Melbourne homes.

The inspiration for my art comes from many sources, such as nature, dreams, my own imagination and the life I have lived.
