(woo brave) way way to much beer way way to often and on occasion some 18yr old whiskey. not so much of that though, its precious. i went and visited nature as i realised that nature is a cruel mistress and will not come and visit me. i road my bike around for a whole day only to get brutally sunburnt. party!<br /><br />i think i once posted about a spirit level for my mental state, if i did then good and if not then its news. so, the way that it works is that you rank your day on a scale of 1 to 10 and write the result on a calender and see if the good outweighs the bad, the last time i did it over a heavy month of working 12 then 16 days in a row it worked out at about 6 so i had a pretty good month. i will start this from today and rank this day as 4. just remember it can always get worse.Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-73489676881886947922009-01-17T06:48:00.000-08:002009-01-17T06:53:06.731-08:00this is not a good ideaso , blog world ... you know when you are doing something that you know you could hate yourself for later . well i am, doing that now. fuck. oi i hate all of you. shit. fuck. i'm a floating turd. next time i see you i will smash you. please comment or at least ask about my mental health. fuck! you!Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-55612302746305942582009-01-06T00:53:00.001-08:002009-01-06T00:55:37.448-08:00learning new tricks of sortsso i have learnt that if your head is not the best then reading tales of druken regret from bukowski and listening to sad punk like the wipers are not the best ways forward. from now on happy kids tales and blondie, stalker music will fix everything.Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-86625776240361600702008-12-18T19:33:00.000-08:002008-12-18T19:43:41.423-08:00intermission is over return to your seatsagain i find myself thinking of nonsense to place here... bah<br />News in dot point form:<br /><ul><li>well the not smoking experiment has failed. i will try again. i will bore you to tears by keeping you posted. </li><li>so its nearly holiday time, we can all gather our families together to celebrate the birth of a fictional bastard whose followers are doing their level best to destroy the planet. the irony of xmas. </li><li>my campaign to outlaw straight marriage is generally falling on deaf ears but i will persist, i think straight people should have equal rights with the gay population and therefore the eternal punishment of marriage should be banned for everyone. </li><li>it seems to have rained all summer long - well all three weeks of it - it feels like i'm back in the UK</li><li>i saw swedish death metal band grave - was good - highly recommended. </li><li>discovered budweiser beer - again its good - highly recommended. on my quest for beer greatness i have been brewing large vats of pale ales and wheat beers all pretty good, quite drinkable and will get me and my friends plastered if required. however i have been on a quest for an easy drinking summer beer.

Having a valid ticket i was all to happy to show it to him so i put down my book to get the ticket from my pocket. The cover of the book i'm reading, Blitzkrieg - By Len Deighton, has a large swastika on the cover and as i put the book on the adjacent seat the ticket inspector looked at me, then looked at the book cover and said, 'don't worry about the ticket, i see you're one of us' and then walked away. so its true - ticket inspectors ARE nazi's.<br /><br />as a side note Blitzkrieg is about hitlers rise to power, the history of tactics in modern warfare and the failings of the initial allied response to german aggression, its a history book, and for learning about history i was accused of being a facist. <br /><br />I could not speak - mind blown.Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-37084544080115288702008-09-22T23:29:00.000-07:002008-09-22T23:32:35.713-07:00completely stolen postThis jem is by John Ashdown and appeared at <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/" name="&lid=" lpos="{contentTypeByline}{2}">guardian.co.uk</a>,<br />Monday September 22 2008 10:11 BST<br /><br />"There's nothing like a night at the movies. The over-priced popcorn, the suspiciously sticky floor, the mortage-requiring gargantuan portions of fizzy pop, the rustle of sweet packets, the insanely expensive wine gums, the uncomfortable seats, the hours and hours of pre-feature adverts, supercilious grin on your friend's face when they tell you they've brought their own snacks and drinks from home, thus saving £712, the bitter, bitter taste of the salty (when you asked for sweet) popcorn, which is costing you around £3.50 a mouthful and tastes so revolting you want to cry but you swallow it down anyway because to stop eating it would only make you feel worse for the £382 you've wasted and you can hear your friend quietly munching on their delicious home made brownie and you're sure they're making "Mmmm" noises just to irritate you and you'll be damned if you'll give them the satisfaction by chucking your food away and the film is so bad you want to walk out but you've spent your month's food budget on coming here so even if you're eyes start to bleed you're going to sit there and watch the ruddy thing if only so you can go to the pub afterwards, buy a half with the few coppers remaining in your pocket and rage to anyone who'll listen about the true awfulness of the pathetic excuse for a film you've just wasted three valuable hours on."<br /><br />Brilliant!!!Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-42321968059036712462008-09-18T21:53:00.000-07:002008-09-18T22:03:34.481-07:00broken stuff<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrgNOL8J4syQVR6reQ6xv2AXVgPpiL6emNF8ZWkiAjhKStri70m2lD3F2GRpVObzed7yQ6KJcLN-POXbKm5dKn2Ps1Pi4wU3nKNlBbomWuunPSH4q7EyIHfOxQT2_Cmn_Y3kfmDFsiU11w/s1600-h/keybord"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247593470615032210" style="FLOAT: left;

Some, like the belts in the image snapped, on others buckles have fallen off. Some were so cheap that the belt simply split down the seam. This phenomenom of the broken belt is new to me, one of my now deceased belts was a gift in 2002 and had traversed the world with me, others were gifts from as recent as christmas just passed. Now i'm not sure if its my constantly expanding waist line that is to blame, it could be shoddy workmanship or simply old age that is destroying my once fine collection of belts. However, from now on 2008 will be known as the year of the broken belt.Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-65244344048305566032008-07-15T00:45:00.000-07:002008-12-10T04:39:49.265-08:00the worlds greatest pen<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHunremPPDj3UujdLjydsjtldUZFsQNsBr4r9PtHBei-JY64SanKcj9YRZ6DaRuWcetRhCe4WKH6NyOCdhKbAOe5m7lk3DSsj9QPrmqc_gTH4psvLA1DXxsvueeGwyD7f9RISnL5V1eYw/s1600-h/18-spet-25.jpe"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223144091744995762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHunremPPDj3UujdLjydsjtldUZFsQNsBr4r9PtHBei-JY64SanKcj9YRZ6DaRuWcetRhCe4WKH6NyOCdhKbAOe5m7lk3DSsj9QPrmqc_gTH4psvLA1DXxsvueeGwyD7f9RISnL5V1eYw/s320/18-spet-25.jpe" border="0" /></a><br /><div>yesterday i found a pen just like this, when you click the button it tells you when you know that you are stoned i.e:</div><div> </div><div>you know you are stoned;</div><div>- When "freshly baked" has nothing to do with cooking. </div><div>- When you um...uh...I forget. </div><div>- When your parking spot reads Bong Loading Zone </div><div>- When 4:20 is your favorite time of day. </div><div>and several others. </div><div> </div><div>now all i can think of is how stoned i would have to be to think of looking at a pen to tell me how stoned i was. I also have no idea what 4:20 means in relation to getting stoned. when i think of 4:20 i can only think of pies... is it AM or PM? do stoners use 24 hour time, meaning that one would have to arise early to smoke some sweet cheeb? questions better left unanswered i expect. theres is nothing left now but to sit back and admire the worlds greatest pen. </div>Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-5318732518285134792008-07-07T05:17:00.000-07:002008-07-07T05:40:02.091-07:00SNFUsnfu were a punk band from canada, they broke up a year or two ago after a 20 year or so career. all the lps they released had 7 word titles. they are probably the only band i have ever seen at my peak listening time of the band. I got to see and meet them twice, once way back in 1996 or 95 and then again with bad religion a few years later (i got to meet bad religion too). the first time i saw them they played to 11 people at the civic youth center in canberra, the second time was at a packed ANU bar with frenzal rhomb and b(L)a(n)d religion. After their first visit i decided to start listening to their records, i liked them, infact i still do. Of all the mediocre pop punk/melodic hardcore epitaph/fatwreck etc etc bands of that time they are the only one i still listen to on a regular basis. In my humble opinion the records actually got better over time aswell. it would seem to me that of all the epitaph/fat bands had a moment where there were 'some' great songs on one record then they would just play new versions of that song endlessly, i'm not saying that SNFU are innocent of this its just that the one song they wrote and then re-birthed endlessly was stacks better than the output of all of their contemporaries. <br /><br />the final two SNFU releases (as far as a i know) were the ping pong ep and the lp in the meantime and in between times, the ep i am only just discovering and feeling my way through the song "i'm your carpet" is amazing and i would suggest it to all people. The lp saved me from a depressing winter last year. You know how when you're feeling down or bland or a bit despondant its easy to latch onto something - anything, a bottle, a girl, a football team just something outside of you to lift your spirits? well last year it was this lp that got me through some cold and meager months.<br /><br />the song sick lee and coward lee has a line "even the slightess speck of sun will lift you up when you're down", upon hearing this i walked out of my office cubicle to see if it was true, unfortunately for me it was raining and grey as it was most of last winter, but when the sun did come out it was true and my mood lifted for a bit. it was cos of this record that i quit my cushy temp job and went to work at VU library, tried in vain to bring 'da heavy head dance' into common party vernacular, according to the song the heavy head dance is when you hand your head real low and sway from side to side, the tag line being there's more to life than thrash so lets get stoned and dance. the lyrics like all SNFU records are completely off the wall but seemingly these lyrics are a wee bit more hopeful? i'm not sure how to put it words are failing me right now, the jist is if you can find it get yourself a copy, ask me and i'll even tape you a copy. did you hear about the one legged bridge jumper who broke his good leg in the fall?Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-73674023365180208902008-07-01T05:53:00.000-07:002008-07-01T06:03:17.153-07:00update..well, i was right i didn't get my own job. i came second, that means 3 days a week and still a bunch of nights, it also means that i still have to work 3 jobs to make enough money to pay the bills... bah... fuck.<br /><br />in other news, i think i mentioned i was robbed recently and got my ipod stolen, if i didn't, that happened a month or so ago. anyhoo, i got me a shiny new ipod that has way to many gig which i will probably never fill. i am however, trying really hard to do so. the point of this is that i put a whole stack of old hardcore on to this toy that i hadn't really listened to before, mostly NYHC like agnostic front, and i realised that agnostic front, or AF as i will now refer to them cos i'm lazy, is pretty good. i remember seeing them on tour in 1996? at the civic youth centre in canberra fun times as i recall. i mostly remember them as being really short and me being really stinky as i came straight from work. i still have the tour 7" but i never have and most likely never will listen to it. the main impression was little guys lots of tattoo's lots of attitude. the other thing that i really like that i put onto the machine is the chronic sick 7" cutest band in hardcore. this rules. i wont review it cos i'm not good at that kinda thing but i really wish i had cottoned on to this previously, good stuff.<br /><br />the final part of this update is to let the world know that i successfully rode my bike home drunk the other night, no injuries at all, this is a very proud moment for me as the last bunch of times i've ridden drunk i've ended up in all kinds of hurt. fuck yeah!!!Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932149283111668447.post-24264299514493561732008-06-19T02:49:00.001-07:002008-06-19T02:50:30.676-07:00promisesss...today i solemnly promise that i will get better at stringing sentences together and perhaps even think a little about what i am posting.<br /><br />Today i also threw away a 150 yr old book. it was dusty.Tallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01001595092899372318noreply@blogger.com2
