Top 10 Albums Of 2010
2010 was an incredible year for music. To have the return of the greatest rapper alive, Eminem, to his best was mindblowing; Kanye West took hip-hop to grandiose heights that no other person had. But it wasn’t just hip-hop that dominated this year - Country music stood out in sales with the beautiful Taylor Swift and group Lady Antebellum making a dent in worldwide sales.
Also worthy of...

Back like cooked crack.
It’s been a hot minute since I reached out to the world through writing. I have quite a bit of time to kill nowadays, so I thought i’d like to share some thoughts with everyone.
Adelaide just doesn’t seem the same to me now. Being back, after seeing the sights of a place far greater than I, has caused this city to seem like little but an illusion. I don’t know the exact...

For How I Met Your Mother fans.
So, lately i’ve seen a lot of fans, especially on Facebook, joining groups like “My life would be amazing if I found out who Ted married.” Now, being that i’ve been a long time HIMYM fan, and active on the IMDB Message Board for the series, I thought i’d post some of the compiled info on the mother so speculation can either rage on, or be quelled.
Okay: FACTS ABOUT...

Some quotes from the comedian Jim Jeffries.
“Women to me, are like public toilets. They’re all dirty except for the disabled ones”
”When a man sleeps with a lot of women he’s called a stud, but if a woman sleeps with a lot of men, she’s called a slut. Some people think this is unfair. Nah, it’s completely fair, and i’ll tell you why. It’s fuckin’ easy to be a slut. It’s...

Things that Rock/Suck about North America.
So after my time here, I thought i’d compile a list of what I like, and hate, about the US and Canada.
THINGS THAT ROCK:
- Taco Bell, Tim Hortons, Waffle House, Steak & Shake, White Castle & Subway. - Buffalo Hot Wings. Even if you get terrible ones, they’re still f-ing delicious. - How much people love my Australian accent. - The organisation and punctuality of the Greyhound...

Oh Canada... Ey. #2
So i’m bored, and I figured i’d just let you know what’s been happening!
In case you didn’t know, I am staying in a room with 3 other people; 3 dudes: Ben (from Adelaide), Marty (Sydney) and Malte (Germany). We went out last night because it was Ben’s last night here, and he shot off to his job on the mountain. Got a new roommate already, it’s a girl this time,...
Touchdown! Part 1.
Okay, so I figured although i’d contacted most of you previously, I should still write a general blog about my first few days experience here.
At first it was a little hard to comprehend everything. The advertising everywhere seems so cheap and cheesy, like what you see on a bad sitcom, but I guess it has to be based on something! As you may have seen from a couple of photos I uploaded earlier in...
You can learn a lot about someone by the music...

One more time, for old time's sake.
It’s been a long time since I blogged about anything, but with less than a week left in my hometown, I feel it’s time I did so.
I’d like to start off on the topic of feelings actually, or lack thereof… I’m about to head to another country for the forseeable future, and yet at the moment i’m struggling to feel anything at all. I don’t feel nervous, sad,...

Bullshit! Paper can't beat Rock.
I understand that Scissors can beat Paper, and I get how Rock can beat Scissors, but there’s no fucking way Paper can beat Rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around Rock, leaving it immobile? Why the hell can’t paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can’t paper do this to people? Why aren’t sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating...
My Name Is Nick.
I reposted this from Facebook, but I think I need to update it.
After drinking a fair bit and watching My Name Is Earl a LOT, this is a list i’ve compiled of things I want to have accomplished before i’m 40 years old. I havent done that many bad things, but these are things I want to be able to achieve. 1. Sleep with 1 girl I went to High School with. 2. Have a song played on a Major...
Ask Niko The Sicko - Episode 3!
Dear Niko,
Why does my nail polish chip the day i put it on?
- Bethany Sloane, Adelaide
Dear Bethany,
There’s a very simple answer to that question. If you don’t put it on, it won’t chip. So therefore, if you DO put it on, it WILL chip. Also, the universe is funny with things like that. It seems that the universe does everything it can to be ironic to us, from chipping nail...

Random Thoughts of a 20-35 year old.
Got this emailed to me today. Some made me laugh incredibly loud!
I know this is long but there’s some funny ones…
- More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. - Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument...
Ask Niko The Sicko - Issue #2!
Dear Niko,
Women that are only interested in sex seem to be classed as sluts. Men are heroes. Why is there this double standard in society?
- Karawr, Adelaide
Dear Karawr,
Thankyou for your question. It’s a very complex issue that we face, and the old view that “Men are from Mars, Women are from the Seventh Circle of Hell” sure holds true in this case. I’m just...
Ask Niko The Sicko - Issue #1!
I was inspired by that bald Texan Psychologist to start my own advice column, so here it is. The only difference is, i’m not bald, nor am I Texan, and I have no qualifications whatsoever. But you can be sure as peas that my advice will be just as effective at changing people’s lives - In that it won’t do squat. Dear Niko, When should you sleep with someone if you are interested...
TWENTY-FOUR WAYS IN WHICH WOMEN ARE LIKE FISH
Sorry to get all Barney Stinson, but I just had to repost this, given I watched the How I Met Your Mother episode where Barney states “One of the 24 similarities between women and fish, is that they are both attracted to shiny objects.”
Here’s the full list.
TWENTY-FOUR WAYS IN WHICH WOMEN ARE LIKE FISH 1. Both attracted to shiny objects 2. More fun to catch while drinking 3....
