i always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey

James Bond: I was wrong about you.
Dr. Christmas Jones: Yeah, how so?
James Bond: I thought Christmas only comes once a year.

date 9/4 - 16/4
bought: Savers yet again
brand: Peanuts
size: small
price: $7.99
colour: i find it very difficult to care about the characters or plot lines in Grey's anatomy
why: because everyone in the world should own two things

1. a picture of me
2. a christmas themed garment

what ever happened to James Bond? casino royale was a huge step in the right direction but quantum of solace??? balls to the wall action, close ups, fast paced cutting... Bond movies were never these things, they were about scaling buildings, going into space and saving the world... all without breaking a sweat or creasing your perfectly cut tuxedo. where did the suave style go? the witty one liners? camille montes? i dont care who that is, she sounds like a librarian. what happened to names like kissey suzuki, pussy galore, honey ryder or tiffany case? if she doesn't have pornstar esque name then it just isn't James Bond...

or maybe its just me

trying to take over the world

with one-tee-a-week

who can refuse a pretty girl in a top hat? not me that's for sure, and neither could John C. Holmes

date 2/4 - 9/4
bought: Ebay
brand: retro style
size: small
price: difficult to say
colour: wadd white
why: its a good excuse to have a girl in a bikini on my chest

so many questions... so much time to answer them
like why am i watching cops at 1am in the morning? why did some guy on ebay have 8 tees that he wanted to sell for $10? and how was i the only bidder... pretty sure i paid more in postage than i did for the tees and of course when you buy 8 tees there are the good ones and the bad ones to wade through... the good ones we keep the others we donate, back into the world that has served me so well

die young and save yourself...

not sure if i really get the whole fox/wolf thing in a forest but i do wholeheartedly approve of 'brand new' making more music

date 16/4 - 23/4
bought: 28/3 at metro or the palace or whatever it is now
band: brand new
size: small
price: $30 i think? can't remember
colour: i take my coffee black
why: because from what they tell me buying shirts at concerts supports the band

I have some friends who were quite jealous after that night. personally i think the performance left a little to be desired but it made for a good night out. after the show i went to cherry bar to see those demons of the decks MC rhys tee and DJ (last song means LAST SONG!) zack abroms and obviously so did Vinnie Arccardi (lead guitar for brand new). star stuck as i was i walked over to request an autograph at which point Vinnie put my piece of paper down on the bar shook my hand and introduced himself and we proceeded to have a beer together. i got the autograph and needless to say the rest of the night was spent in rock star fashion, adventures at the california hotel with kettles and candelabras, a few of those "you had to be there" moments and a whole lot of party...

p.s. the california hotel is not a reference to the metaphorical hotel in the song by the eagles, it is a physical place. that is all

All Quiet On The Western Front....

i have been absent and absent minded, and like the last girl on your "booty call-girl" list this blog has not been touched in a month. but for those of you who know me this will be of little suprise


date 19/3 - 26/3
bought: Savers Greensborough
brand: oakley
price: $5.99
size: medium
colour: white-ish, blue-ish, green-ish stripes
why: what is best about this tee shirt is not only its ability to combine colour but texture also, the green stripes you see are more than just a different colour, they are in fact an entirely different material

with its lapel pocket, multi-material-dimensional colour patterning and lets not forget about the tag strip (shown bottom right) this shirt was quite clearly made in the 80's... when everything was just a little bit cooler

this is a step in the right direction, i'm only 2 months behind in oneteeaweek but don't you think for a second that i haven't been buying tees and partying hard, it would be at this point that i make wild promises to have this up to date by this time next week, i would also promise to sleep with jessica alba and to fix global warming because hey... that's just the kinda guy i am

9100 mL of frozen goodness

summer... where did you go? it seems like only yesterday i was sipping on a freaking huge slurpee and laying by the pool

date 12/3 - 19/3
outlet: seven eleven stores Australia wide
size: medium (one size fits all my arse!)
colour: supremacist white
why: i love to drink slurpee's, drink enough slurpee's and get a free shirt, what a country

its a well known fact. the more sunglasses a man has
the cooler he is and this tee my friends has more cool than you are ever likely to need

in order to get your free slurpee tee you must purchase 5 special edition massive summer slurpee's, log onto the website and use all 5 codes to get your tee. at 1.3L of slurpee each that is a minimum of 6.5L of slurpee, which doesnt count the 2 codes that had instant win prizes on them that i (too quickly) traded for a sweet slurpee straw. and at $3.75 a pop this tee was not as free as it may have seemed.

it cost me
$26.25
9100mL of frozen goodness
and a whole lot of awesome

next summer can't come soon enough

she's not a stripper and this is not las vegas

so last week was my birthday, and this is what i got another sweet tee but this time its all about the wedding... not my wedding of course, I'm far too young to be married...
because she's not a stripper and this is not las vegas

date 5/3 - 12/3
bought: value city preston
brand: sherwin and candice???
size: medium
colour: white, as the driven snow
why: credit for this tee, i am afraid, cannot go to me but to J&K as they affectionately signed my birthday card

research was conducted... wikipedia, google and finally youtube we searched in order to gain context of this early december 08 piece.

and this is what we found...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-AxsO-o1aY

to the untrained eye this could be a joke youtube clip but actually it's a promo clip for a melbourne based wedding videography company

sherwin and candice... it looks like you had a lovely wedding and even had tee's made to commemorate your love, i can only assume these were circulated to the exclusive VIP guests, but somehow probably by some huge mistake this tee had found its way into an opportunity shop.

and now it is mine.

to have and to hold

to love and to cherish

till death do us part

Bring it on...

bring it on... in banquet style and not in the cheerleading kind of way

date 26/2/10 - 5/3/10
outlet: ebay
size: small
brand: marshall & franklin
colour: mmmatte grey/i dislike grey's anatonmy
why: something about a large M with horns and a tail
spotted: trying to catch flies with pat morita and daniel san at binh minh on victoria st


there is almost nothing on this earth like owning a grey tee, the most comfortable tee's i have owned are all grey, they can be washed a thousand times and only become more comfortable, they're like that grey sweatpant material that's all soft and warm, even dunlop volleys are now available in the most comfortable colour known to man

being asian is:
using chopstick to eat my food
sharing my pearls of wisdom
pretending to know kung fu
pretending to grow facial hair
having people rub my belly for good luck
being naturally gifted with mathematics
a terrible driver
the ability to leap tall fences with minimal effort when your mates prefer to use the gate

i am all... and none of these things

just gotta keep cashing cheques, buying tee's
in a bold and audacious kind of way
