Day 14 With Me


My Non-Fiction book of choice.
Dead Man Walking - Life of Death Row.

Description From Booktopia.

In 1992 Ray Krone, a former sergeant in the US Air Force, was sentenced to death for the murder of Kimberly Ancona, a bar manager found stabbed to death in a restaurant near his home in Arizona. There were countless holes in the prosecution's case and ten years later the victim's clothes were examined using newly-developed DNA testing technology. Krone was completely exonerated and released from jail, but not before he'd spent an entire decade on death row.

Dead Men Walking tells the incredible stories of those men and women who have lived their lives behind bars with the constant threat of death by fellow prisoners, or by state execution, hanging over them. What is it like to live out your days inside one of the world's toughest prisons, knowing you'll never again see beyond the exercise yard? Is it really possible to make friends, or form relationships inside? What should you do if, like Ray Krone, you've been sentenced to die for a crime you did not commit?

Author Biography
Bill Wallace

Everyone should read this book. It will open your eyes.

Day 13 With Me


The Fictional Book of the day.
It is the four books not just one.
The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
I read these books when I was 10.
I love reading these indepth books and I loved the movies, the only problem I have with it is that they did not make The Hobbit, and it looks like Peter Jackson isnt going to be making it anymore.

Day 12 With Me


Whatever Tickles My Fancy.

So I have been missing my art since I left high school, so i decided to start up again, with my drawing, photography and such, this is a photo of me taken last year, I used photoshop to make it into a Pop-art type peice. It is pretty much the first artistic peice I have done In close to two years.

Day 11 With Me


This is the most recent photo taken of me in Melbourne, it was taken by my fiance as we were heading back to our hotel room to get our stuff so I could head home, I really like it, and I hope you do too.

Day 10 With Me


Ok, So I dont have a photo of me that is older then 10 years old, but i did find one that is 8 years old.

Day 9 With Me


Photo That I Took.
This is a photo that I took the last time that I was visiting my Fiance in Melbourne.

Day 8 With Me


Photo that makes me angry / sad
This photo does exactly that, makes me angry and sad. The other person in this photo threw away our friendship. I will not go into detail, I just wish they could have grown up.

Day 7 With Me


Photo that makes me happy.
This photo makes me happy, because when it was taken I was in one of the best places I have ever been, with the love of my life. Everytime I look at it, I feel how lucky I am to have met the love of my life.

Day 6 With Me



Photo does not do it justice, but on June 12th 2010, my partner Aaron proposed to me.
He has made me the happiest I have ever been and I with for nothing more then to spend the rest of my life with him.

Day 5 With Me



You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus

Day 4 With Me


Favourite Book.

My favourite book is actually one that contains three.

My Story, containing, A Child Called It, The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave. The heart wrenching story of Dave Pelzer's life. From a child growning up being the personal slave of his mother, being tortured and taken away and put into foster care, to the life of him as a man.

I first heard about this mans story when I was in year 8 and I refused to read the book as I didnt think I myself was ready to hear about it. It wasnt until I was in year 11 and I saw the books everywhere that I took it as a sign that I should be reading them. The books have made me appreciate the life that I have been given, and not to take things for granted. These stories that I suggest that everyone reads at least once in their life.

You can either get "My Story" containing all 3 stories or buy each story seperatly.

Day 3 With Me


Favourite Television Program

Ok, this one is a no brainer for me. How I Met Your Mother, my television program of choice. Not only has it got my favourite actor of all time (Neil Patrick Harris), but it is also full of laughs, amazing learning experiences and did I meantion that NPH is in it.

Day 2 With Me


Well what can I say a favourite movie is very much like a favourite song.
I have many, depending on genre and what mood I am in.

So in saying that, I am going to share with you the one that I have watched most recently.

I Love You Man.
Staring; PaulRudd, Jason Segel, and Rashida
Jones.

This movie is my movie of choice, as it always, without fail makes me laugh that the awkwardness of this bro-mance. The journey between two guys as they turn from acquaintances to best friends.

What can I say, SLAPPEN THE BASS MON.

Day 1 With Me


Favorite Song.

I have many songs that I look back on and say they are my favorite. But today my favorite song is; 3 Words by Cheryl Cole ft. Will.I.Am

This song really spoke to me when I first listened to it with my boyfriend Aaron Davey. We sat down and really listened to the words, we both looked at each other and said, "It is like this song was written about us".

It is a wonderful song. And if you have not heard it, I deeply suggest that you listen to it.
