0 Crocodile Dundee...

Forgive me for the sarcasm i am about to post...
After reading the lunatic fringe's memoirs of a failing relationship, it was either end my life or write a post...guess i like living lol.

At the end of this month, i will have been living in Australia 10 months. What has that got to do with a post about Rob or Kristen? A lot.
Ever since i heard Rob was to shoot a movie in this glorious country, i have been uber excited for him. Yes he is not on the same side of Oz as i am (West Coast) but in S. Australia - Adelaide, where i hear it is quite beautiful.

Now, my first impressions of Australia, came from a movie eons ago called 'Crocodile Dundee' before that, the only time i had ever encountered this magnificent place was on holiday programmes. Where you turned to your significant other and said 'looks beautiful, but it's one of those holidays you do once in a lifetime. A place that would be most definitely on your 'bucket list'
You baulked at the massive scale of the country; learnt a bit about it's history and it's mystical beliefs and generally saw red dust for miles and miles and miles.

Again i hear you cry, what has it got to do with Rob and Kristen?

For those who don't know much about Australia, let me put it this way. If you think you have come to the Outback by simply driving a couple of miles out of town - forget it, because it's not.
You can't exactly fly to Australia, hop into a hire car and travel down the road to see Rob. There is no airports, no landing strips, no population (where he is filming right now) the road is not exactly a road. A 4x4 is not just a fashion accessory here, it's a basic need for survival and I'm not just talking labels, I'm are talking vehicles specifically designed for harsh off-roading. This is not the Nevada Desert - THIS IS AUSTRALIA.

There is no cushy hotel with all inclusive luxury, instead severe heat and sweltering humid temperatures at a camp site, that may or may not have mobile homes/Winnebago's/trailers. He could be living in a tent for all we know? Yes a more upmarket tent, but a tent nonetheless, with no air con to speak of.
Would you travel from Los Angeles to Texas; with no one to talk to, roads that are more like 'rocky road to hell' no shops just miles and miles and miles of nothingness. You only have what you have managed to pack in your car and enough spare parts to get your car there and when you get to your destination, you are surrounded by even more desert?

Does it sound appealing yet? Does it sound like a place that Kristen can just drop everything for. Fly to Adelaide and then spend a few days off-roading to get to Rob. To then hang around during the hottest part of the day, eaten alive by the wonderful flies that just love fresh, white meat to suck on. And let's not forget the lovely critters that see the Outback as their home; snakes, lizards, spiders. The desert is their Oyster and they let you know not to forget it. Kangaroos are in abundance everywhere, but only in the evening time, because for them even during the day it's too hot - they are nocturnal creatures and can't abide the heat...

This is not a desert...

And this is only the accessible parts of the Outback, i am talking about.
Forgive me for not painting a pretty picture, but let's be realistic here (i know but try)
For those who believed that Kristen would by Rob's side, supporting him during his time here and because she hasn't shown her pretty face, there must be something wrong in their relationship - desperation clings to you like the sweltering heat on a hot summer's day.

You can forgive me for not feeling sorry for your lack of intelligence, because it really boils down to stupidity on your part. If you are one of those people who follow the movie projects that they are signed up for; the scripts, books and blurbs from the production companies, you will then know the area that Rob would be filming in and of course how long he would be there for. So it really comes down to common sense. Location shoots are tiring and boring at the best of times. You spend most of your time sitting around between takes and in that heat...you are protected by UV umbrellas and constantly diving in and out from under them to do your scene. Because 30mins under that sun is 30mins too many without UV sunscreen and heavy make up just slides off your face (i have taken to using the barest of make up, because it just runs when you step outside)

If you are insecure about their relationship, does that mean Kristen is insecure about it too? That their long distance relationship is being put to the test...i really feel sorry for your lack of understanding when it comes to the fact that 'it's their relationship not yours' and you will find that their relationship is on a more steadier footing that your brain cells.

If you choose to read the crap that is filtered through the media; that half of it is actually cleverly disguised as bullshit; hinted, prompted, posted, tweeted by haters, who feel it's something they need to do to spread scorn, assume they are having a hard time dealing with the distance. That Kristen is having orgy parties at the home she shares with Rob and their two dogs. That she is living it large since he left; finally out from under him and eyeing up the next man to slither into her life. That Rob is glad he has had a break from her and that sitting in the middle of nowhere is paradise for him...

Rob is currently on location in Flinders Ranges. Consider the thought that in the US - they have National Parks that stretch for miles and miles, here they are called Nature Reserves and they stretch for even further. To get to him you can only travel by road, quite a long distance away from Adelaide don't you think?

So i will leave you with this.
Only the weak minded make up something out of nothing. Kristen's absence from Australia has nothing to do with the pressure of keeping their relationship together. Despite the lunatic fringe who drip feed the laughable entertainment blogs (HWL, L&S, USW) with their lunacy; taking photos and suggesting men are being entertained at her home. It's simply to do with logistics this time and nothing else.

Oh and since she has visited his set in Budapest, Toronto and even London, that gives good cause for concern, because she hasn't landed in the middle of nowhere to see him this time? You really, really need to put down the gossip rags, get your head out from up your ass, living in fairy land and do something a lot more interesting with your life.

Kristen and Rob are more stable than half of the lunatic fringe, who have to be the loudest when they shout and scream. Photos leaked of them together in the same vehicle has already stirred the drama up today, never mind the worrying drama llamas - festering over her absence in this country.

The Outback is a beautiful place, it's majesty is natural and unspoilt. Realistically, the challenge of getting there would not be worth Kristen travelling all that distance. Practically, once he returns to Adelaide would be the time when if she is going to visit him, that is when it will happen. But even if she doesn't so what? Is it the end of the world, is it the end of life as you know it?
To some fans, investing in this couple's life has been like an addiction, a disease that has no cure, because they live it, breathe it and criticise it.

I love this country and i am glad i now live in it. But to ask me to get into a vehicle and drive for hours to the Outback; to sit in the heat, that is currently the middle of the summer here. To fight off the bloody flies and the humidity; sitting around in either a trailer for long hours on end or under the covers of make shift tents, to protect me from the harsh sun - i would rather stay at home, look after our dogs and speak daily to my loved one, via a satellite phone call. Call me realistic but that's how i view things in life. He will be finished soon and will head back to his home. A home where he is surrounded by love, not hate. A home he shares with his significant other and two loving dogs. A home that stalkers are obsessed about, hence they keep trying to get too close to it. A home where he can shut the front door and leave the frenzied bullshit outside.

A home, this Crocodile Dundee shares with...Kristen.
