off-black: Love and Hate
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2006/08/love-and-hate.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Wednesday, August 16, 2006. Watched some Rock Star Supernova tonight. Difficult to find the words to describe how much I HATE. It Can't stand it. Shithouse covers of good songs. Performances that are more about swagger and looks than important things, like say, remembering the lyrics. Anyway, enough of the hate, on with the Love. I love how at night, noisy busy places become quiet and peaceful. Top left: The Terrace from the Benny Party. Awesom...

off-black: It's all a conspiracy
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2006/08/its-all-conspiracy.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. It's all a conspiracy. Listening to: 'Further down the Spiral'-Nine Inch Nails. Popular conspiracy theories I believe in:. I have seen enough to be convinced that there is definitely more governmental knowledge about this phenomenon than is in the public domain. This does not mean I think they are alien spacecraft. Possibly (in the sense that it probably isn't. But I doubt it. Oil as a pretext for invading Iraq.

off-black: The Tao of Indoor Netball
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2006/11/tao-of-indoor-netball.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Monday, November 20, 2006. The Tao of Indoor Netball. Listening to: Riot Act-Pearl Jam, and Doubt-Jesus Jones. The highs outweigh the lows though, and keep me coming back. A great game is only a few quarters away. In the last decade I have managed to learn a few things, and have been compiling them lately into a sort of Tao, in an effort to strengthen my mental game. The 'Tao te ching' of Indoor Netball. 8 You are only as good as your last pass...

off-black: Laughing at ignorance
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2013/08/laughing-at-ignorance.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Friday, August 23, 2013. At top left is the port horizontal stabiliser of the 747. The contrail from the port inboard engine is in the bottom third of the frame, with a gap between it and the outboard trail above. It's indistinct and imperfect, but it's one of my favourite old photos. That was a cool experience. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 101 things about the author.

off-black: February 2015
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Friday, February 13, 2015. Friday the 13th resolution. Posting on a Friday the 13th because it kind of matched the decor and looked cool on the dateline used to be a regular thing for. Actually, posting anything. Used to be a regular thing. I haven't posted on this thing in nearly a year, but before that the tempo was noticeably slower. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

off-black: March 2014
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Wednesday, March 19, 2014. An appointment with the Boss. Two weeks ago Rich and I acheived a long held and discussed mutual ambition and went on a lightning quick road trip (along with Rich's brother) up to Auckland to finally see Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band live, after years of being a fan. Rather than try and review the concert, I'll let the Herald's excellent run-down. Some people just don't get the art of buying merch. Waiti...

http://offblack.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-2013.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Long time between posts, but I haven't missed a Christmas post yet with this thing. After a Christmas Day full of contentment we made our now traditional trip to the beach in the evening. It's a tough gig but someone's got to do it. Happy Christmas wherever you are!

off-black: On Hangover avoidance
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2007/12/on-hangover-avoidance.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Sunday, December 30, 2007. I avoided a hangover today after a considerably merry night last night with old and dear friends. Here I offer my best avoidance tips in this season of merriment. This isn't about avoiding drunkeness, which can be regarded as an inevitability. It is about minimising the collateral damage. 1 Don't drink any Alcohol. Usually a bullet-proof tactic. Cheaper, and you have no chance of being DIC'd. 2 Know your limits. 101, ...

off-black: July 2013
http://offblack.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
My bit of the internet, like off-white, but somewhat darker. Monday, July 22, 2013. 12 Things I hate about X-Factor. Note: this was written a few days ago, when it was slightly more current, but Ruaumoko. 1 The host. I'm not sure what look Dominic Bowden is going for, but if it is slick smug sarcastic insincerity, he's got it nailed. Oh, and the paaaaaussssinggg. 2 Moments like this:. 5 It's not reality. It's insincere, scripted and contrived at every turn. 8 The public voting system is dubious at best, ...
