60% OF THE TIME, IT WORKS EVERY TIME
























The movie Anchorman, the legend of Ron Burgendy is an inspirational movie, that may even be the most appropriate movie for the month of Movember. It is can be compared to likes of Shindlers List, Shashank Redemption, The Pursuit of Happiness etc.

Left is the great "Brian Fantana" known for his exuberant yet pungent colognes and aftershaves.

He is the inspiration for this blog, the inspiration for the perfect xmas gift for the men this.

Some times a more masculine and fragrance is needed, one that stings the nostrils. Let me introduce WD - 40 for men. Yes thats right, our favourite lubrication application is now a formidable scent. A xmas gift sure to warm the hearts of all men and melt all the hearts of the ladies around the world.

WD-40 "Ooh, a formidable scent. It's quite pungent. It...it stings the nostrils. [...] Brian, to be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline".

HER MESS (Hermes)

















This is the love of my life (yes this time im talking about my girlfriend and not my 58" plasma).


She is busted in Louis Vuitton, Couch Shopping. hahahaha. No actually she is waiting patiently for a her new wallet.


Before I met her, you could say, I was fashionably deprived, challenged and some might say even fashionably retarded. This is starting to change. I actually know allot about the major brands and their products. (Mainly becuase she is obsessed and is always telling me about it)


Any way! One of the brands that tickles her shopping fancy is "Hermes" pronounce (Her_mez). I thought it was pronounced (Her meeez) like the Jamaican dude from futureama.


Anyway you can see she is wearing two of their bracelets and has many more at home, including belts, scarfs, perfumes. She also has many immediate plans for handbags, more bracelets and scarfs (yes baby, I know you do!)


The ones she is wearing are called a "looping bracelet" and an "enamel bracelet" (aka click H, "I think").


Why am I talking about Hermes and her obsession with this stuff you ask....wellllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!


I found out that I may have an interest in Hermes....ohhhh yes that right baby, I too am obsesssed with Hermes now, and there wont be anymore Hermes buying until i get my Hermes product.


Let me introduce you to the Bugatti Veyron Fbg by Hermes.

I am dribbling whilst writing this, its quite disgusting actually. I love this car. Its the same car seen in my blog about "Scott Storch", however this is an Hermes Special addition.
(My Heart is racing at a ridiculous rate)

Below is an exert from an "autoblog"

Ettore Bugatti and Émile Hermès met in the 1920s, when Ettore ordered a bespoke suitcase for his first Bugatti Royale. Almost eighty years later, at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance, representatives of Bugatti and Hermès met again. And this encounter turned out to be the beginning of a new collaboration between the two houses.The revival of this relationship may initially appear surprising, as the association between the renowned luxury house and the legendary car manufacturer in today's automotive context would not immediately spring to mind. It confirms that heritage is able to survive over a time span of several decades.

Specifications:
This remarkable car features an array of excep¬tional characteristics: the innovative alliance of a technologically advanced engine, deliver¬ing 1001 horsepower, with an understated yet uncompromising silhouette reflecting the high performance capacities of state-of-the-art engineering and design, and above all, the pleasure these inspire in every Bugatti owner. The fascination exerted by this sports coupé, capable of reaching 407 km/h, is due in large part to its unique alliance of the very finest motor-racing technology with comfortable handling for everyday driving. The 16-cylinder "W" configuration engine is fed by four turbochargers and features 64 valves, generating 1001 horse¬power at 6000 rpm. The engine draws on its 8-litre displacement to deliver a maximum torque of 1250 Newton-metres between 2200 and 5500 rpm. With full-time all-wheel drive, the car's phenomenal power produces breath-takingly dynamic handling, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.5 seconds. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 benefits from aeronautical and aerospace technologies, making it the fastest production car ever made. The car also features a braking system designed to deliver unprecedented powers of deceleration, establish¬ing a new industry benchmark. The carbon-fibre discs provide brake pressure of up to 180 bars, combined with eight-piston monobloc callipers and titanium pistons fitted with fine steel heads and ceramic heat protectors. Apply the brakes at speeds above 200 km/h, and the rear wing acts as an airbrake, positioning itself at an angle of 113 degrees in less than 0.4 seconds, augmenting the Bugatti Veyron's already impressive stopping power. The airbrake increases negative lift at the rear of the car to 300 kg, enhancing the braking torque on the rear axle. At 400 km/h, emergency braking will bring the sports car to a complete halt in less than 10 seconds.

Hermes Interior


The inner surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès have been designed and sheathed in bull calfskin by the Hermès workshops in Paris. The care and attention to detail observe an extremely refined, minimalist formal vocabulary, reflecting the tradition of the very first Bugattis and the fundamental design principles of the house of Hermès. The door handles echo the fluid forms of handles on Hermès travel bags and luggage. And the dashboard, traditionally finished in brushed aluminium, is here clad entirely in bull calfskin. Passengers aboard the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès will find a dashboard glove compartment designed to hold a selection of small travel accessories and a zipped Hermès wallet. Both seats are covered in two-toned bull calfskin, and the panel separating the cockpit from the central rear engine – traditionally made of carbon fibre – is covered in the same fine leather. The leather-lined trunk holds a specially-fitted "Toile H" and leather case, hand-made by craftsmen from the Hermès workshops.

STILL STORCH


Scott Storch! Everybody would of heard the super producers tracks once in their life time. Scott Storch is responsible for some of the biggest hip hop, R&B hits made.

Below are just some of the hits produced by Storch.
1) Anarchy - Busta Rhymes
2) Still Dre - Dr Dre
3) Lean Back - Fat Joe
4) Candy Shop - 50 cent

If I gave you the full list of hits, this blog would go forever.

Recently, due to some incompetent people hired by the Storch Company, Scott Storch has had allot of his things repossessed due to poor financial management.

Unfortunately the repercussions of other peoples actions hit Storch’s pocket and pride the hardest. Out of the woodworks came all the critics again hitting someone when they are down, and they are the same people to suck his &@#$ when he is on top. (It makes me sick)

Lets keep in mind, that this is the man originally a keyboardist for the "Roots" and one of the producers responsible for some of the greatest hits around.

Also keeping in mind that "Its not how hard you fall, but how quickly you get up and brush it off" that counts. Storch is a Piano player and a musician before a producer, so it is in his blood to be good and reinvent himself. This is why I have so much faith in the fact that we will hear from Scott Storch in the very near future.

The “Hit Maker” will be back.
The heart of Scott Storch's sound bank is his use of Digidesigns Protools and His Yamaha Motif ES that you see him on stage with as well as his Akai MPC.

SNAKES & LATHERS


This is not what you want to find in your shower.
This was found in the accommodation that I live in, where I work.
Below is the notification put out...
"A person was showering and felt something lick their foot. When they looked down there was a reptiles head poking through the drain grating at the base of the shower. They thought it was a lizard and attempted to free it from the grating. After several unsuccessful attempts they decided they would have to cut the reptiles head off to enable them to free it from the shower grating. After doing so and removing the animal they were shocked to discover what was actually stuck in the drain! The photos tell the story…"
This is a "Western Brown Snake" also known as the Gwardir. It is responsible for the most death via snake bites in Australia. OHH YEAH EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT IN YOU SHOWER!
I am extra careful now when showering...
I feel bad for the fact that the snake died, but i dont think the guys that killed it, did it intentionally.

MINING MY OWN BUSINESS








These photos are of the place that I work. I am working away from home in a rural town in Western Australia called Dampier.
The main business here is the mining of Iron ore. Its dirt thats worth more than gold.
Working so far away from home is hard, even thogh the $$$$ are amazing. Whats even harder is being away from the love of my life, my 58" samsung plasma tv..hahahaha sorry baby (Im going to be introuble for that one!)

The work here is interesting, I am in Engineering so have responsibility to up keep and design new equipment on a daily basis.

Some of the photos on this post show the beautiful scenes that I see day in day out. Dampier is situated on the coast so is surrounded by water, which means that when working on the wharf marine animals are often sighted, from turtles, all sorts of fish and sharks.







I hope the sacrafice Im making now pays off in the long run. There are allot of sacrafices that are made! You loose allot of sleep due to the long hours, when everybody is partying back home, you are usually working or sleeping and miss out on allot of your youth. The rooms you live in are really small and after a while the walls close in on you, it takes a good mental strength sometimes, to keep your self strong and not let it get to you. It eventually catches up, and "sooner or later it all comes crashing down" (NERD).

PLANET OF THE BAPE


It is usually my passion for fashion gf that does all the shopping where ever we go. However on a recent trip to Japan, the tables were turned. (See picture above)
I dont usually find clothes that I really like, but I am obsessed with the clothing brands BBC/ICE CREAMS and BAPE.
BAPE (A Bathing Ape) is a brand started by Japanese entrepreneur Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao. The brand was names after the 1968 film "Planet of the Apes" The "bathing" part of the name comes from a Japanese saying "bathing in luke warm water" it is a metaphor for over indulgence (which I am becoming accustom to).
The other brand that I am obsessed with is the BBC (Billionaire Boys Club), who also make the brand Ice Creams. This brand is the sister brand of BAPE, co-created by Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao and Super Producer and Musician Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes.
