Ok, it’s the end of a long day and I’m tired and in a grumpy mood. The last week or so I seem to have had some pretty negative comments, thankfully the vast majority of you seem to get me or even if you don’t get a particular post you just move on to the next one. Tonight I can’t deal with potentially pissing someone off. I know it’s going to happen whatever I write but since I’ve just had someone tell me I’m a pervert who lies on my lounge obsessing about nudity and wanting a boyfriend I’m giving up for the night.
This video is most of a Kylie song from about 1997 when she was dabbling with an “indie” sound. It wasn’t released as a single and the album of this era “Impossible Princess” was a commercial disaster in the UK but we Aussies loved it. It’s become a bit of a cult Kylie album. This song is called “Free”. She mashed a bit of this into “Slow” for the X tour last year.
To be honest this is probably the first time I have read your blog… is great! You are gonna always gonna get some negative people commenting but from a person that knows you you’re definately not what they guy wrote!
F*$& them and rock on!
Ooh I love Free too! Do you have Hits +?
Some good rare ones to track down are I Know, Cherry Bomb, Spell of Desire, Loving You, Nothing Can Stop Us :)
Come on Brenton just be yourself – you know that’s why we keep coming back.
Hey Brenton,
I went and read the comments on “A Perfect Match”. I didn’t read Frank’s comment the way I think you did. I don’t think he meant to be insulting. Maybe too careless of the way his words would sound on a cold screen. I don’t know him, so I am not taking sides.
The sad truth is mate, that you aren’t going to be loved universally by the World. Go for quality rather than quantity. There are enough of us here regularly who like what you do, and mostly what you say. But the bits we don’t get straight away help the relationship grow. I’m learning to like Kylie for example ;-)
It’s a bit like “love at first sight”. Rare in reality, and an unrealistic Hollywood scenario for the most part. The best stuff in life comes with hard work and perseverance. Have you given up on “the silks”, because you weren’t perfect your first time? Of course not!
If there were other anonymous critics, ignore them. They don’t have the courage of their convictions.
Log on again Brenton. I want to hear more from you…
Cheers, Polomint
Fair enough for letting it all get to you from time to time – but the blog is great as it is. I thought it was a bit weird that ‘Frank’ wanted you to blog about things he thought would be more conventional. Keep the human I say. The worst thing would be for you to blog for us. Blog for yourself.
Brenton,
When you’re pissing people off, you know you’re doing something right.
Keep up the good work! :-)
I was watching X-Live on DVD just yesterday and couldn’t figure out what it was that Kylie messed into Slow. Thanks for the memory jolt.
Don’t worry much about the occasional negativity, mate. I reckon you’re doing a great job.. Cheers!
Some people are not happy until they can make someone else unhappy.
I hope that you will feel better soon. We all get down every now and again.
Keep up the great work Brenton. You are appreciated here in San Francisco. I look forward to reading your blog everyday…
Stay naked!
I hope you feel better – you are my Clint Eastwood – You always make my day
I love your blog and make it a must stop everyday. I find what you write creative and interesting and real. That is important. Take care.
Big hugs to you!!! You bring me happiness everyday! Think about that when the jerks show their idiocy! Lots of us love you!!!! Mark
Sending you love, hugs and support from St. Louis!!! I come to your site pretty much daily. I love reading everything you have to say… keep on doing what you’re doing. You have a huge heart and are very passionate in what you say. I really respect that. Anyone who disagrees doesn’t need to come back. XOXO
Fuck’em. Love your blog and its reflection of you… and of course, the nudey pics.
Love reading your blog Brenton, miss Oz so much as a Pom who is back in the cold but nude as always at home. You will get the odd ‘banker’ online, but don’t lose heart cos we want to hear all about you and your life. Totally agree with Kansastock – couldn’t have put it better than us cockneys. Big Hugs
You’re brave enough to have a blog, I’m just a reader, not a writer, and seldomn comment. I’m gay, but a different type of gay man, so I don’t agree with everything you write.I read your blog cause you make me think, you educate me, you make me smile and you find the best nudey pics! Just be you, don’t change and keep up the good work hey:)
Hey B, I like that clip of Kylie. It looks as though it’s pre-Botox etc and she looks great! Natural and normal.
As for the negative comments, like the others who have already posted said, you can’t please everyone so forget the crap!!
G. :) x
Love your work man. Nobody makes Mr. Negativity read the blog. He just keeps coming back like the rest of us. You are wonderful at putting your thought into writing. Never give up what your good at. I love the photos you pick, and you have real humor and character to what you write. Catching up with this blog is one of the first things I do every morning…after tending to something else that comes up every morning :)
You sound like a great guy, who worries too much. Just know that there are a lot of us out here who make you part of our day, even if we don’t always comment back.
Love yourself, cuz we do too. Keep up the fabulous work.
“A pervert lying on your couch obsessing about nudity and wanting a boyfriend”? Oh geeze.
Well, it’s a good thing your keyboard as a Delete key. You don’t need that crap! :)
Thanks for keeping the blog going!
the people that take the time to read your blog then belittle you for writing it are douchebags who need to make others feel small just so they can inject some semblance of meaning into their pathetic lives. they can’t control themselves, so do your best not to let them control you. i love your blog, i come here every day, and always enjoy what you have to say. so there. <3
Mate.
Think of your blog is like a painting, Not everybody has to get it, not everybody has to appreciate or even like it, its creativity, it makes you a part of who you are and hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it. Not everyone likes Picasso after all.
Cheers

Greetings from Michigan – where its still snowing and everyone here is grumpy!!! Too much snow and cold and dark skies can really be a bad thing! I’ve been reading your blog and cking out every video and posting you’ve done for the past 2+ years, maybe more. Everyone is entitled to be grumpy from time to time and piss people off and speak their peace- thats what makes us tick… who continues to read something they dont like and then spend all that energy to comment on it?!?! You have an enchanted life – sun, sand, hot boys in small swimsuites (big and baggy are all guys wear in the midwest)nude beach parties… Stick with what you do best… write about whatever you feel.I feel like I know you, and obviously so do most of your other readers or they wouldnt keep coming back for more… And when youre down and grumpy – think of all this snow and cold and baggy swimsuits – I guarantee that will cheer you up!!! cheers! mark
