After having a friend buy a $2000 camera it was a tad hard to choose a cheap little camera for myself. With my high aspects .. i headed off to the good guys. I didn’t really think the camera was all that good at frist because i’m so used to using the $2000 one (which has great result picture wise)
but! I am quite happy now with my choice!! Its a great little camera!!
So many different things I can do with it!!! I’m so amazed!
The one thing I HATE most, is people who ignore you when you are talking to them. ESPICALLY when they are on there
IPHONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An example is taken from just yesterday where someone started talking to me while playing with there Iphone and I replied …… but I might have well of been talking to a brick wall!
What has technology done to the meaning of CONVERSATION. No longer can we talk to someone with out them pulling out there phone! Especially those stupid iphones! They are the worst!
I know of someone who pulls it out at any time…. be it:
1. At dinner with some friends
2. visiting family
3.sitting, having a family discussion or
4. just having a conversation
Honestly, don’t start a converstaion unless you WANT to talk!
If you haven’t heard, there has been alot of Shark Attacks recently. Not usualy a big worry to people… however this time, everyone has gone crazy. I personaly think its soooo stupid! I read an article in the Hervey Bay Chronical yesterday that was stating that sharks have “taste for human blood” and “we are now on the top of their food chain”.
Blah Blah Blah, as if anything has changed when it comes to sharks! So what if there has been an extra attack or to… of course Don’t get my wrong… I still feel sorry for those people who get attacked and would HATE to be in that situation myself.. BUT!… I just think people are way OVER REACTING.
I heard on the radio one morning… I think it must of been Vic Hislop.. or maybe someone else going on about if you get bitten by a shark there isn’t much you can do about it. Apparently even if you had a giant hammer with you it wouldn’t affect them.
Firstly, thats not good to say that all you can do it DIE.. when you get attacked by a shark when there is a big fear of sharks going around, and secondly…. why say that anyway. I swear who ever that was, was stupid… or just wants attention…. or…. just hates sharks and want everyone to go out and kill them so there will be none left..
Anyway its stupid! Nothing had changed from the other shark attacks!
heres a repot/video on one of the shark attacks:

Yes, you read that correctly!!!!
This is just an intetresting article that is going around in the news lately… sad, but hopefully they can do something about it.
article below:
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Australian media say a lost humpback whale calf has bonded with a yacht it seems to think is its mother.
The 1- to 2-month-old calf was first sighted Sunday in waters off north Sydney, and on Monday tried to suckle from a yacht, which it would not leave.
Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat but still swam nearby.
The calf appears exhausted but rescuers hope it will continue out to sea and search for its mother or another pod of whales.
“The outlook is not good, but we are giving the calf its only option. It can’t be fed, and in fact we wouldn’t know what to feed it” because it is not weaned, National Parks and Wildlife regional manager Chris McIntosh told ABC radio
I saw on accurent affairs a few nights ago, a incident which astounded me greatly. Why anyone would be THAT angry to actually throw away their medal, and to be never seen again is amazing!
Here is a part of the article below:
Beijing Olympics 2008: Ara Abrahamian an anti Olympian
Jessica is angry about cuts to the music program which will drive many of her fellow students to Brisbane, where the Queensland Conservatorium of Music has offered them places.
“The opportunities just aren’t here at USQ anymore,” she said.
“I’m extremely angry because students weren’t given any warning that these changes were going to happen.
“I would like to ask the vice-chancellor to understand that changes might be made because of budgets, but those changes affect real people.”
Jessica is in the final year of a degree specialising in voice and had planned to undertake the USQ honours program next year. This extra study, she said, is necessary for any performers keen to get a foothold into a highly competitive industry.
But those plans are on hold.
“There is no point in doing the honours program here anymore because it has been changed to a general “creative arts” course (at both degree and post-grad levels) which is not specific to our needs (the Masters level program has apparently been abolished altogether),” Jessica said.
“The USQ has always had a great reputation for the standard of performers it produced that was one of the reasons so many of us came here.
“I have been approached by the Con to finish my studies there, and I know many people in my course are considering that offer. Certainly some of the students feel they will be in a better position career-wise if they go.”
Sharing Jessica’s concern over the introduction of a creative arts course is chief executive and artistic director of Opera Queensland, Chris Mangin.
While USQ and Opera Queensland have long shared a productive relationship, he said that “may not be the case in future”.
“I find this news disturbing,” Mr Mangin said.
“USQ has done very good work in the past, but they have chosen not to have a conversation with us about this decision.
“In my experience, where there is non-specificity in a course, you prepare the students for nothing. A fleeting connection does not set students up to work in this industry.”
USQ’s Faculty of Arts associate dean and senior lecturer in music Rhoderick McNeill denied claims that the course changes would result in a lower quality program, or impact on career opportunities for graduates.
“I believe we will be providing a very similar standard to what we’ve provided in the past,” Dr McNeill said.
“Practical elements of the course are unchanged, and now allows for composition and musicality; the main area of change is in music theory. Students will have plenty of opportunities to reach professional standards, particularly in opera.”
The mixed messages and confusion surrounding the course changes have left students angry and fearful, according to second year Bachelor of Music student Anna Marangelli.
She said with “subjects being scrapped, staff leaving left, right and centre, and classes just not happening”, USQ had become an unstable learning environment.
“It’s just an absolute joke no-one knows what’s going on, not even the lecturers,” Anna said.
“USQ had a great reputation. Now the whole place is broken.”
A common concern among students was the possible abolition of productions which showcase USQ to the community, and bring students to the campus.
