A very con-current Affair on Today Tonight...

Very rare for me to willingly tune in to Channel 7 or Channel 9 for the exaggerated affairs programs as I was bored.

But to my astonishment, A Current Affair and Today Tonight (Channel 7 and 9's affair programs screened at 6:30pm tonight) both aired the same 2 stories in the same sequence meaning the 2 stories I already knew about were drilled again... The pill dilemma and the death of the All Saints actor

Collusion or just plain coincidental that both programs aired their stories in the same sequence and despite channel flicking between the 2, both used up almost equal air time for the program = Agitation!!

Tuesday 19 August, the fame game...

Hi all,

Long time no posts but I am going to try and keep this up to date now - lots happening in Adam's life right now...

Single at the moment after several breakups with the one I loved most dearly. Unfortunately, work/study commitments were cited so I was broken up with. Hopefully we can remain friends but no contact so far so hopefully everything is ok, Ryan.

Changed branches at work so if a break up wasn't bad enough, I was slugged with a transfer to a non-legal branch due to inaccurate and inconsistent work being completed - all of which is bullshit but I guess you go with the flow (ironically against my principles I preached at work where bullying and tormenting should never be tolerated *sigh*).

So onto the main reason for the post, in case you live in a cave, are overseas, or blatantly ignorant to newspaper media, I was in the Daily Telegraph on page 11 on Tuesday 19 August. After asked the way to look at the camera etc., I was snapped up with a "frustrated" look and the piccie placed in large print along with 2 quotes conveniently taken out of context about train waiting times. To date, I have been acknowledged for being in/famous after the ordeal from colleagues, people frm a business I visit as part of work, a manager from a major supermarket, a fuel station attendant I visit for refuelling the company car, friends, family, and officiating friends. Putting it lightly, I have been lapping all the attention up but it was not the best of pictures - my "frustrated" look included boofed hair and a nasty frown!

Visit http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24203796-5001021,00.html but my picture doesn't appear online, only in the paper format. I have plenty of copies :P

Anyway, I guess you can't have it perfect so I count the blessings and can say I have been in the paper as the interviewee and not that of a bystander :P
