Hitting the Century...

Photos...

Published on June 7, 2006 By dynamaso In Blogging

I've been deliberating over this article, only because it is my 100th. I thought I might try writing a Maso's top 100 list, but it proved to be a lot of work (however, I have made a start and will be posting this article in the near future). The more I thought about what I might write, the more I found I couldn't decide. Instead, I thought I might put up a few photos, as I haven't really posted any before. I will apologise in advance for the poor quality of most of these. Please sit back and enjoy.

My beautiful cat, Pumpkin (yes, she is ginger and a female)

My beautiful wife and cat enjoying a tender moment together

My beautiful wife and I dressed up in our best for a very close friend's recent wedding

A view of my city, Sydney, that many of you might not have seen before. This is taken from the top of the Australian Museum building, looking across the northern side of Hyde Park to St. Mary's Cathedral. It is not a view most tourists or even locals would be able to see under normal circumstances. We were lucky to be invited to a wedding celebration in the reception room on the top floor of the museum and I really wanted to share it with you all.

Another shot of my beautiful cat. The order of household rule falls as such; the cat, my wife then me, by a long, long way. But I don't really mind. It is wonderful having two such lovely creatures boss me around LOL

This is a live shot of JC, Ryan (the DJ in the background) and myself on stage at a local venue. We've got another gig coming up at the same place at the end of this month. It is a reggaeish night and we're very much looking forward to it. Should be lots of fun. If you're a local, get down to the Cat & Fiddle Hotel on Darling Street, Balmain on Friday 23rd June. We're on stage at 10pm.

Another shot from the same gig. In this one, you can also see the lovely Adele, our vocalist/flautist/keyboard player. Ryan is hidden behind me.

Another shot from the same gig...

Yet another shot from the same gig. This one is the only one that has all four members of the band in the one shot.

Finally, a shot taken with my phone camera of my two favourite ladies.

Cats are always feminine. They stick together with women!

I agree! When I was a kid on the farm back in the 70's we had a cat that could pass for twins with yours! His name was Rhubarb (after the cat in that old movie of the same name Link )

Hey, you do have a wife with looks to go with her brains! You are a lucky man, Maso. Heh, how'd ya do it?

Doc,

Cats are always feminine. They stick together with women!

I belong to the cat. We've been together now for 12 years. There is no doubting whose cat she is, but you are right. She does prefer the company of woman. I'm the only real exception.

Great pics. And a Beautiful lady.

Thanks mate. I agree (of course).

Shovel,

you do have a wife with looks to go with her brains! You are a lucky man, Maso. Heh, how'd ya do it?

Sometimes I wonder this myself. You're right about me being lucky too. I feel blessed.

CONGRATS ON 100 Articles!

Thanks mate.

Doc,

I think he changed her prescription.

Hey, mate, don't give away my secrets. Toni reads this blog regularly, you know, and if she sees this, the party will be over for me

\What Shovel said.

Thanks very much, mate.

Congrats on the 100th!! And thanks for sharing the pictures! It's been a while I've been curious about 'seeing' you and Toni, she really is beautiful, and that kitty is utterly gorgeous as well!!!

Thanks IG. I'm a bit disappointed the pictures didn't come out better, but I'm still learning about how to put them up here properly. Next time, I hope to have them a little bigger so you don't have to use a magnifying glass to see me.

Okay, this is completely gratuitous but I wanted to bump this so those of my friends here who might not have seen this originally do know. I know BlueDev recently wrote something about why people feel the need to do this but this is one instance where I think it is justified.

Anyway, it is my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

IG, I will get them up as soon as I can. But to be honest with you, I don't really have that many (actually, I'm not being honest, I'm just in denial - I have so many I don't know which ones to choose.)

First Congrats on your 100th article Maso!

Second, she's gorgeous, your wife and I love her curly hair. Your cat is also beautiful. Makes me wistful about the cats I had when I lived in Jamaica. I love the picture of your city too.

Good luck on your June 23 gig, hope it goes well. Reggae night, my favourite nights and wishing I could be there too! [but I'll be there in spirit, have a beer on me will ya!]

Your bandmates are too cool!

Serenity,

First of all, thanks for the congrats. You are one of the reasons why I'm still here.

Secondly, I will make sure I pass on your words to Toni and Pumpkin. Toni had her hair straightend for a New Year Party a couple of years ago. It didn't suit her at all.

The reggae night is going to be a lot of fun. It is at the same venue the photo were taken at and is a good little venue. I will certainly have a beer (or three) for you.
