I have been overwhelmed lately with social networking. I Twitter until my hands fall off, Entrecard until I go cross-eyed and scour the halls of BlogCatalog like a hungry wolf...

I have discovered a new concept that I would not have thought about before - a social networking site called acobay based on common interests and "stuff".

It's so simple, dang it! I actually wish I had thought of it first. So I had to join up and see what it was all about.

























The concept is actually pretty simple - you connect with people with whom you share interests or stuff - for example, let's say you are an Apple Mac enthusiast. You go to Computers-Apple and check out all the different Macs. You can either pick the one that you own, thus connecting you with other users of the same model, or you can add it to your wish list and discuss it with people who already own this model.

As soon as I joined, loaded up my avatar and set my profile (it's "LJP" by the way) - and went straight to my favourite category - Automobiles. I will be buying a car very soon but I am still shopping around for the right model. I found what is in my opinion to be the best car in the world - a Chevrolet Impala.

Yes, I did get the idea from watching too many episodes of "Supernatural" but it is the coolest car in the world. So I added it to my wish list:
















I am a big believer in the law of attraction. Wish lists and watch lists and things of this nature tend to energise the decision that you will own this object. I can see myself spending a lot of time on this site...

As I may have mentioned in one or many of my in earlier posts, I don't drink coffee anymore. Maybe I can torture... I mean placate myself with this glorious coffee soap made with real cream and coffee beans:

Cuban Coffee Bean Olive Oil Soap with Real Cream

Every time I have a shower I can remind myself of beautiful roasted coffee beans and cappucinos... the roasted bean aroma slowly drifting up and... AAARGHGHGH!!!!

I think I'll ask if they can do one for me in "dandelion" instead!!



Okay... ummm.

My Poop Don't Stink - Dark Rich Chocolate scented soap

Excuse me, I think I'll just go wash my hands in poop. This is either complete genius or completely sick. By the way, it's scented with dark chocolate fragrance.

Now this is more like it, a soap made from beer:

Jamaican Hops Beer Soap- green tea- lemon- black pepper

Aaaahhh!!! I probably wouldn't use it - I'd probably just sit there, sniffing it...

Er... moving right along...

Hi, my name is Herschell, I used to play Playstation in the shower until I got electrocuted. Now Mum has confiscated all my gaming equipment from the bathroom.

Sony Playstation video game controller soap, scented for men

Fear not, Herschell, you can now feed your insatiable Playstation addiction while showering, bathing and just washing your hands. You can marvel at the controls, practice your special moves and do whatever it is that you do in there. Just don't tell me about it...

And now, for something even weirder:

HORRORSHOW Soap - GLOWS in the DARK - HANNIBAL LECTER - DRAGONS BLOOD Scent - VEGAN

I'm glad to know that the horror Hannibal Lecter dragon's blood scented soap is vegan, otherwise I wouldn't buy it.

So, if you like to wake in fright each morning as you look down at your soap in a half-sleep and see Hannibal the Cannibal staring back at you, washing your bits...

If you like recreating the scene from "Psycho" every morning to break the monotony...

If you like the idea of a serial killer washing your body and making you clean I have only one thing to say.

...You're weird, Pal.

Heresh to Shaint Patricksh Day... *hic!*

Let's all raise a glass to being er... slightly Irish and a Guinness Drinker...

St Patrick's Day is the day where everybody finds their Irish roots, no matter how tentative.

I think my Irish heritage is somewhere in the Great-Grandparents region however I will instantaneously turn into a Leprechaun as soon as a Guinness appears before me.

Leprechauns are magical after all...


Out of all the St Patrick's day t-shirts, this one is definitely my favourite:

Yesh...

Irish I were drunk too.

This how I usually talk after 3 pints of Guinness...shesh...

Now...

All I need to remember is where I stashed me gold...

On a budget? Of course, everybody is hoarding their money like greedy squirrels collecting nuts for the winter.

But that doesn't mean we can't spend a little? Splurge just once in a while? Decorate the house a bit? Give a gift without breaking a sweat?

How about gifts under $10. That's $10 AUD, not USD, which means its even cheaper due to the exchange rate. Let's celebrate these gorgeous gifts and leave the recession blues behind!!

Magnetic Memo Board Calendar - $9.95*

I love this. It's so simple, yet so practical. Large enough to display your favourite photos and important notes to remember...

Like "Exercise Today - No excuses!"

Soft Family Training Set - $9.95*

I don't quite know why this is called a "Soft Family Training Set". Perhaps it's for soft families...

I would definitely be using the hand weights for my 1-2km walks. I do like the idea of a skipping rope for extra cardio...

Saturday Night Live DVD Box Set $9.95*

If I watch another news bulletin about recession/depression/house prices/banks etc I will throw the damn telly out the window.

I don't know about you but I need more than ever to laugh right now...

Although the way things are going it might be a maniacal cackle rather than a demure giggle...

Buddha Figurine Outdoor Indoor - $7.95*

What do you do when the stock market has gone southwards, the news reports disaster after disaster, and people are starting to fray at the edges? You could go postal but...

Perhaps what we really need is to turn off our fraught brains and reflect...

Turn off the TV, cancel your newspaper subscription, stop watching the stock market on the internet and sit quietly in the garden. How would Buddha approach the current economic crisis? This can be the contemplation for the day...
