Zentertainment - by Cheryl J

I know its a few days late for the anniversary of the death of legendary frontman of Queen, Freddie Mercury, but I like to think he would have had a great old belly laugh at this.

Without further ado, The Muppets - Bohemaian Rhapsody...

RIP Freddie

For Linda

September 25th 2009 01:03

You were life and beauty and so much more to the people whose hearts you touched with your warmth. A light that shines in the hearts of those who love you. Even now, that love doesn’t diminish with time but grows stronger. You were the soul of a beautiful family.

You are missed every day but you remain a beacon in their hearts. A mother, a daughter, a sister and friend. Your loss was a deep pain but your life a beautiful memory.

Time will heal the wounds of pain but time will also make their love for you so much stronger.
You are a part of the fabric of their very beings.

With all endings come new beginnings. You would be so proud of those you loved. Through them you touched me in a way I wish I would have gotten the chance to know better in life. But through them and all you gave and taught them you have reached out and touched so many more people.

Happy birthday Linda. Your presence is felt in so many hearts.

A move is better than a holiday

August 25th 2009 12:47

Moving to Melbourne has been so much fun. The people, the arts, the entertainment – all of them make Sydney seem superficial and boring. There was a time I loved Sydney but it’s lost its shine for me. It's becoming more and more a city of ugliness and crime and a place where people put way too much thought into what people do for a living and wearing the right designer labels.

Melbourne is more earthy, cultural and fun.

So, like my decision to move to Sydney, I just jumped in boots and all.

I’ve been having small adventures wandering around and discovering Victoria and the lovely things it has to offer. I’m even starting to love the chill in the air and the fact that you can have four seasons in one day! Not very practical when you’re going out as you have to take half your wardrobe in layers but it’s fun and a bit quirky.

I’ve done the touristy things like Phillip Island which gave me an opportunity to see the penguins march which was one of the cutest things I’ve seen in ages. If only I would have been able to take photos! But I went flying in a helicopter over Phillip Island and explored the Great Ocean Road and the 12 (make that 10 and ¾) Apostles.

I’ve window shopped in areas I can’t afford and enjoyed the fun and fabulousness of St Kilda and the true multiculturism of Fitzroy.

I can see why they call Sydney the blonde and Melbourne the brunette which must leave Canberra as the mousy brown of the bunch.

Here’s a few photos of adventures discovering my new state.

Some people really restore my faith in the good in people. I work in a large office block and each evening a cleaning crew comes in to make the offices all shiny and clean for the following day

Funny ads - giggle for the day.

July 10th 2009 12:41

I saw these and they gave me a giggle so I thought I'd share. Just a small collection of random advertising. One from the past, one from the present and one, methinks, was either done by by someone who did not have English as their first language...or perhaps someone just added their own funny to an existing ad. Gotta love creativity!

If only they knew then how funny this would be as the years passed

My Awakening

May 6th 2009 11:44

I have always wanted to write fiction but writing a book seems so unbelievably unattainable. I don't have the patience nor, most likely, the talent to pull it off. Very few people have the ability to write a good novel but oh how I love to read them.

I blog, I draw and I paint to give me a bit of a creative outlet as my job is not creative in the least. Even a short story seemed quite out of reach and then I remembered reading a post by Morgan Bell some time ago titled COUNTING WORDS that described the many types of writing by the length of the piece so I dropped by again to have a look. Until I read that piece I had no understanding of the many types of writing out there that is based purely on the number of words and I thought, maybe I could do one of these

When the hunter lay down with its prey

April 8th 2009 11:15

The animal kingdom never ceases to amaze me. A predator whose instinct is to kill is transformed by the wonder that confronts it.

This piece of footage by National Geographic follows a leopard which after taking down one its most feared enemies is puzzled by the baby its kill was carrying. In an astonishing piece of footage you see what can only be described as a true mystery and miracle

Amazing edible art.

April 5th 2009 04:59

I remember the days when a birthday cake was a couple of sponge cakes slapped together with some icing and sprinkles and wedding cakes were layers of fruit cake with marzipan and a simple bride and groom perched on top. How things have changed.

These cakes are true works of art and look almost too good to cut up and eat

A man’s dangly bits were left dangling while upside down, without his pants on a ski lift.

January 5th 2009 05:00

I don’t know about you but I think the Varga girls have to be some of the most beautiful, glamorous and sexy pin-ups of the art world making some of todays pin-ups seem tacky and sleazy in comparison.

I love retro art and thought I’d share a few of these lovely images with you that were painted by Alberto Vargas
