You may be wondering who I am talking about?? &lt;a href="http://kangaroosfc.com.au/default.asp?pg=players&amp;spg=playerprofile&amp;personid=13369" target=blank&gt;Wayne Carey &lt;/a&gt;who plays for the &lt;a href="http://kangaroosfc.com.au/" target=blank&gt;North Melbourne Footbal Club &lt;/a&gt;in the &lt;a href="http://afl.com.au/" target=blank&gt;AFL&lt;/a&gt; had a an affair with his best mate, &lt;a href="http://kangaroosfc.com.au/default.asp?pg=players&amp;spg=playerprofile&amp;personid=13370" target=blank&gt;Anthony Stevens &lt;/a&gt;wife. Who could really blame him though, she is a stunner. I'm not saying its ok to go off and shag your best mates wife or anything. I just reckon that being that high in the spotlight, in constant media attention, woman are virtually throwing themselves at AFL players left, right and centre. I reckon its a fuckin stupid thing for him to do but I don't see her name being spread all over the papers, what can I say it fuckin shits me. I still like Carey no matter what anyone sez, I don't beleive he deserves to be punished all of his life for making one mistake. He has changed the way centre Half Forwards play the game forever, he has given the game so much. Why should &lt;b&gt;their &lt;/b&gt;mistake (notice I used "their" as opposed to his mistake - &lt;b&gt;it takes two to tango&lt;/b&gt;) ruin Waynes football career and the rest of his/their lives. I'm also against the fact that the media even found out about this...I beleive the media should stay the fuck out of everyones business, as what they write and produce effects everyone that is emotionally involved deeply...Well if you want to read the &lt;i&gt;"facts"&lt;/i&gt; as they put it - I'd say half of them would be made up by the media to get a juicier story, then just visit relative newspaper sites such as:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smh.com.au/" target=blank&gt;The Sydney Morning Herald &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theage.com.au/" target=blank&gt;The Age &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sunherald.com.au/" target=blank&gt;The Sun Herald &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailytelegraph.news.com.au/" target=blank&gt;The Daily Telegraph &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/" target=blank&gt;The Herald Sun &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3359988-11406203?l=barbes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/11406203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/11406203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbes.blogspot.com/2002_03_31_archive.html#11406203' title=''/><author><name>barbes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04806343761807473938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359988.post-11199757</id><published>2002-03-27T20:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-04-07T20:49:04.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hey guys,&lt;br /&gt;Currently Thursday afternoon and I am still waiting for a phone call from the &lt;a href="http://national.com.au" target=blank&gt;National Bank!!&lt;/a&gt;. I have been waiting for atleast 3 hours for the manager at one of there branches to call me back about applying for a personal loan for a Laptop computer. It just pisses me off, when they say they will ring back shortly and then next minute its like 3 hours later...oh well. Atleast I've got 3 weeks holidays to look forward to, I'm gonna enjoy this so much. However I still have soooooo much work to do, past assignments and everything, you know how it is? Not really lookin forward to easter and all. It just pisses me off how everyone gets so worked up about easter and Christmas and all that crap. I understand what it all means and that, but fuck me, I reckon its just a heap of bullshit and just another excuse for people to go out and spend there money on shit they don't need. Clothes they will only wear once, CDs they will only listen to on that one day, i.e. Christmas or Easter. They go out and buy kilos of chocalate, when half the time they don't even like chocalate or only brought some to keep there partners happy....I'm sorry I'm just in a bad, winjing, nagging mood.........my conclusion; people shit me....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3359988-11199757?l=barbes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/11199757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/11199757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbes.blogspot.com/2002_03_24_archive.html#11199757' title=''/><author><name>barbes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04806343761807473938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359988.post-11152424</id><published>2002-03-26T15:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-04-07T20:48:36.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>hey all.&lt;br /&gt;I just found a really really cool site. &lt;a href="http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com" target=blank&gt;nobody-knows-anything.com&lt;/a&gt; is a site that tells you almost everything you need to know wnen thinking about the content of your web journals.

It tells you how to find the correct category where your site will be categorized into sections or parts that your site will be put into. This probably was the hardest part (finding your category) but all I did was do a search for what I was putting up ie: searched for online web journals and the category come under Arts &gt; Online Writing &gt; Journals &gt; Resources so this was pretty cool. However when I had finished registering my site to all of these beautiful search engines, it said that it could take between 2 weeks to a few months before i wold be successfully registered...so until now.......

I had a really good week last week. I just got back from Melbourne with my girlfriend and we went and seen Creed play live at the Rod Laver Arena. &lt;a href="http://www.sevendust.com" target=blank&gt;Sevendust&lt;/a&gt; were also scheduled to play but the pansies chickened out for some reason, there were rumours that Creed and them didn't get along at all, but I reckon they were sookin because thay were named the support band to Creed. Oh well, I'll get over it. We went and seen &lt;a href="http://www.abeautifulmind.com/" target=blank&gt;"A Beatiful Mind"&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href="http://www.crownltd.com.au" target=blank&gt;Casino&lt;/a&gt; cinemas on the Monday night. I didn't really think that it was as good as it was supposed to be, although overall I thought it was ok, just a little overated. I give it 3 stars...&lt;br /&gt;We also went out for dinner at the Grand Hiet in the heart of the city, apparently it's where all of the F1 drivers stay when thay are in town, so thats pretty cool. Very expensive though. So that was my week in Melbourne and I will be sure to tell more later when something else cool happens in my life...  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3359988-11095496?l=barbes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/11095496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/11095496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbes.blogspot.com/2002_03_24_archive.html#11095496' title=''/><author><name>barbes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04806343761807473938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359988.post-10425517</id><published>2002-03-05T15:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-04-07T20:46:37.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Have now got familiar with blogger with setting and resetting the changes for the templates I was using.&lt;br /&gt;I have also added the &lt;a href="http://wvpa-mm-serv.riv.csu.edu.au:16080/bamm/user.php?op=userinfo&amp;uname=barbs"&gt;url&lt;/a&gt; for my web log in the member section of the &lt;a href="http://ba-mm.net"&gt;ba-mm.net&lt;/a&gt; site for multemedia students and lecturers... &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3359988-10425517?l=barbes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/10425517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3359988/posts/default/10425517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbes.blogspot.com/2002_03_03_archive.html#10425517' title=''/><author><name>barbes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04806343761807473938</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359988.post-10424373</id><published>2002-03-05T14:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-04-07T20:45:38.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>have just mucked around with the settings in blogger......however I am having trouble with the refresh thingo.
