Balloon Bass HAHAHAHAHAHA!

MY Top Ten "Favourite" Movies

Yes, I know, Conrad has already done this. But i saw a couple of the comments and was about to say, "everyone is entitled to their own oppinion about movies" but i decided that a couple on the list would not have been my choice picks either. So i decided to share another list of my own. This could be considered as my own addition to conrad's list or as an individual list by myself of movies that in my oppinion should have a mention. They are not really in any particular order.

10) Top Gun: I used to love watching this movie when I was around about.... 9 or somethin... Mainly because it was this movie that made me want to be a fighter pilot. But a simple yet effective Tom Cruise classic had to make the list and probably much to some people's disgust. Mixed with fast flying, buzzing the tower and explosions, this is definitely a movie to see before you die.

9) Into the Blue: Though not a really well known movie, but thinking of how movies has influenced my career choices has made me think of how this has influenced what will probably be my final future career. Filled with sharks, treasure and gold as well as a full camera view of leftover leg after a tiger shark had a nibble makes this movie one of my favourites. Plus Jessica Alba is epic in this film!!! :D

8) Jaws: Now we are on the subject of sharks, this is also a series (bunch of far fetched movies) that you must see before you die. Filled with great underwater photography of real sharks and many other interesting mechanical crap and weird story lines, I think it is a must see.

7) James Bond 007: The best Bond movies are not the latest ones. To be real honest, the best is Die Another Day. Daniel Craig is doing an OK job as being Bond, but the storyline is absolutely horrific. What is with the new drink? No vodka martini, Shaken not stirred? The cars are a bit on the odd side and the storyline itself has been made to go back to when he was made an agent yet "M" is still the same woman as in Die Another Day (Pierce Brosnan as Bond). Tsk Tsk... Yet still a set of movies that you must see.

6) Harry Potter: Deserved some sort of mention even though the latest movie was not the greatest (in my oppinion). I would say its because they want to make the last 2 movies AWESOME. Still, watch and read!

5) Dark Knight: I think this was a really good movie Tom. Sorry. Good on you Connie for it being on your list ;)

4) Transformers: Awesome set of movies! I loved the latest one and I think it was better than the first. It had a really good storyline and great camera work etc. The music was somehow epic but I dunno how... ;)

3) Ghost Rider: Another good movie with Nicholas Cage in it. Ghost Rider was a pretty good adaptation from Marvel and I particularly love it on BLU-RAY!!!

2) Underworld: Deserved a mention because the latest movie (prequel) was actually a really good movie. After seeing it, I watched the first two and everything tied itself together.

1) Shooter: Running out of movies to think of but I really like this film... Always respected Snipers in general and considered being a sharpshooter but I don't have the money to get myself into shooting as a sport. The cost is out of this world just for a scope...

0.5) Iron Man: I forgot Iron Man!!! He is epic and I have squeezed him onto my list by defying counting down from ten :P

Lolz!

Ok this is extremely creepy... I opened that pack of deoderant that I got from my Uncle for christmas and it had a calender of all the Ralph girls in it. The weirdest thing ever is not recieving it but that the girl featured on December is named Jacinta (my sister's name)...

(OMG!!!)

Here's one then Miggy...

I know this is creepy, but i think some of the most wierd and catchy lyrics that comes to mind instantly is from "Hit the Floor" by BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE:

I creep up from behind,
Touch your neck move down your spine,
You take a look and breathe so sharp,
Just a matter of time!
Don't scream I ask of you but then you let one out and so its time to go,
I come down on you like a ton of brick,
All over so its time to go

I know this is creepy by the way you can interpret this song but i think this is one of those lyrics that you find that stick...

End of a Great Christmas!

Well, I'm sure your all busy playing with all your new toys and gadgets so I'll make this brief.
My Christmas was awesome!
It started off with what every family must have done this morning... PRESENTS!!!
After opening my many awesome pressies we had a great breakfast consisting of mushrooms, bacon and eggs on toast (minus eggs for me).
Then had a read and general play around with some of my new presents such as FIFA 10 and my new Dive Computer.
Then we had traditional Turkey, roast vegies and cranberry sauce (mmmm)
And soon we will be watching a family movie, GI Joe in nice COLOURful Blu-Ray (hahaha Joe is colourblind and this is the second christmas joke Joe!)

Once again,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year!!!
(That's for Tomorrow because I will be busy with my pressies!!!)

Christmas With Family?

HELL NO!!!
I had a scheduled "family christmas gathering" at a grandparents house today and I got out of it by going to work! With a PERMANENT pay rise! YAY!!!
I got payed to skip a family outing which I didnt want to go to!!! YAY!!!
However the family gathering was an early exchange of presents and apparently, as punishment for double booking on purpose, I can't open any of the presents from my relies...
How will I stand not getting undersized clothing and stupid idiotic books and other useless items for another 5 days? OMG!?!?

Moore River 4TFW!!!

Yes, we all survived Moore River! We managed to brave the elements including wind and harsh sun as well as deathly cold nights in the tent.

Day 1 (Saturday): Had to have been the best day, we all managed to get to the campsite on time and set up our tents with minor troubles. After setting up the tents and putting on sunscreen for the 35+ degree heat, we could not resist going for a swim. Going down to the beach, we had fun both in and out of the water, hightlights including burying Conrad in sand and watching him struggle as the tide came in, as well as wallowing in the water and braving the waves.
After cleaning ourselves up we went back to the campsite and had dinner, followed by some Texas Hold'em Poker in Blaise's tent. Somehow we all became bankrupt by Connie Loo and we all went to bed.
Day 2 (Sunday): Once again going out to the water, we pumped up the boats and went for a paddle. Wong on his body board, me going solo on a green boat and the larger boat towing Tom in his boat similar to mine (Wong plus 3 boats :D) After getting out of the water around mid day, i decided to do some FISHING!!! Going for a scout along the waters edge and going through many Yoga positions, we decided that the best spot was really close to where the sand on the rivers edge ended and rock began.
Tom and I set up for fishing. Tom struggled with his line for quite a while after some annoying kids asked for a go, while I struggled with my small but appealing lure. However my lure was not appealing enough as I had no luck for about an hour, so i changed tactics to a nice bit of Prawn as bait. Not getting any bites, i decided i would try shelling the prawn and on the first few seconds of the first cast, I got meself a BREAM!!!
Tom swearing his many foul words seemed to attract more and more fish, many of them not size as i needed a fish longer than 25cm (minimum limit for Black Bream). The 5th fish was the one i was to eat for dinner, sizing up to be 27cm and the biggest catch of both the day and the whole trip. I went on to catch 14 fish for the day with one being of size, small undersize black bream and a couple of other fish i haven't seen before which i threw back.
Having the fish for dinner as the others had BBQed pizza, we all had another sucessful day at camp, and after being bankrupt once again by Connie Loo at Poker, we turned in for the night.
Day 3 (Monday): Days afterwards become alot more uneventful as people decided to do alot of relaxing excersises such as tanning smiley faces on their stomachs and reading and playing on the PSP's and DS's. Fishing did not yield much but relaxing fun as well as a larger tally of fish for myself (much to Tom's utter disgust :P). But the day ended nicely with a game of football on the beach and another game of cards before bed.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Wind starting to pick up on this day, we had alot less things we could do except socialise and relax. A walk along the beach in the morning and more fishing was really all we could muster as we were getting more and more lazy. Conrad, reeling in his first fish both on a rod and a reel (again to Tom's disgust) as well as some more fish to add to the tally for myself. A change over of adult surpervision from Conor's Dad and Kathy to Geoff's dad Chris, meant that the day was a little more interesting. However, the day became alot more interesting while we were playing football on the grassy area behind our tents (which i think was purposely made empty because we were there). James, recieving the ball, managed to step on the ball and trip over and landing with a thump on the hard earth. Keeping an eye on him, we all began playing an odd game of one touch baskefootball. James, trying to walk off the hit to the head, comes back from his short walk and scaring all of us as he admits to not remembering much of the landscape. Taking him for a short walk soon revealed hospital trip was needed by Chris on his first night at camp, leaving the rest of the camp goers to brave the brewing storm in 1 tent for the night because Miguel's was being absolutely battered.
Day 5 (Wednesday): Mourning the loss of one of our happy campers, alot of us did not feel compelled to do much except relax once again. Managing to go fishing, this time I managed to bring along Conor, who caught three fish on my own rod as I decided to let him have a go. We watched, as Geoff, Conrad and Wong went paddling up the river to the sand dunes so they could body board down them. But a fatal flaw in their plans arose when they realised that to body board down sand dunes you need body boards...(go figure...). But eventually they returned, and Conor stripped down to his undies and went for a dive off an over hanging rock (caught on film) and shortly joined by Duckie! Hiding Duckie from Wong became a problem so he stuffed them in his undies which he proceeded to take off and swim nude in the river much to Wong and Geoff's utter disgust. The day concluded pretty uneventfully and we all went back to sleeping in our own tents.
Day 6 (Thursay): OMG!!! Waking up at 7:30 to pack up the tent! What fun!!! Managing to pack up and sort out everything seemed to be a slight chore but was done in record time. By 10:00am we were all out of the campsite and on our way home to a nice bed and more than enough food.

Great Times Guys! I also think that a thanks should go out to Conor's Dad and Kath for staying with us the first few nights and to Geoff's Dad for staying with us the last 2. Thankyou to all who contributed to the whole stay such as tents, eskies and food. WELL DONE AND WE ALL SURVIVED!!!

PS: Fuck You Joe and i must say that you definitely missed something you would have epically enjoyed but you didn't so :P

I came home to this...

This little "bundle of joy" also known to be Tiger, is now the newest member of our family. Its primary diet? PEOPLE!!!
Don't be decieved by its cute face and pointy ears, but look behind the face to where the claws and teeth lay hidden, ready to strike at anyone who is brave enough to step into its territory; the laundry.
Its still too young to be let around the yard so it is staying in the laundry until he gets used to us and gets a little better at his balance and coordination. Many times has he fallen over his own feet while chasing a toy and then hitting his head somewhere else when unable to stop.
Hiding behind the mops ready to ambush, he waits for unsuspecting people as they go to the toilet...

Clawing...

A great match played by The Awesome after their shocking loss to the bottom team (which wasn't reported on due to immense depression). Their opposition fought hard but to no avail. I don't know if it was just me but the match wasn't really "rough" but more fought hard. I had two parents discuss with me the game afterwards who both thought it was a "dirty" and "rough" game but we deserved to win it. Personally i don't think it was overerly rough as both teams wanted that spot in the Grand Final.

Having been a bit late today i missed the first 2 minutes but the play didn't seem to have resulted in much as the teams were tied at 0-0. Alot of plays through the sides were attempted by both teams but to no avail. This soon changed however when the game began to deteriorate for The Awesome as I came onto the field. Going straight into goal, the opposition managed to score their first goal against The Awesome with a shot being made at an open goal after a strategic cross being made across the face of goal leaving the keeper useless. The game again came harder as both teams pushed for the lead with a close score at half time with a tie or one goal in it (couldn't remember).
The second half is when the tackles began to fire up. Strong tackles were made by both teams as they pushed for the lead. The Awesome's luck began to turn as goals began to fly in. Highlights of these goals include a crackling power shot, a mistake in defense leading to a tap in by Jay as well as an interesting shot by myself resulting in a goal that left me to just shrug at my team mates in both shock and surprise because the connection on the ball and the placement has got to be one of my best. The scores were tied at 4-4 with about 1-2 minutes left. Both teams began to fire up for that final golden goal that could win the game. Who other than Conor could come up with this goal? A well placed and timed shot resluted in a shout of pure joy from both The Awesome and their many fans. After great defending in the last 30 seconds, the final whistle was blown and the game was over much to the swearing and utter disgust of the opposition.

End Score: 4-5 to the Awesome!

Dispite what people said, i don't think it was overly rough, though I think I'm starting to get into the style of play now. I have but one question about this game and that is Why did Tom get sent off??? I have no idea what happened but he didn't seem to complain when he walked off the field. I felt really sorry for Jay because he seems to get battered quite a bit on the field but he managed some great plays that resulted in goals. I think that by not playing/practicing out on the oval at lunch times as we did at school, i think our fitness and our play as a team has begun to deteriorate. Hopefully we keep fit over the holidays... Great play tonight and hope the best for the next game on the 29th of January!

Bullet For My (Fucking) Valentine has finished their 3rd epic awesome (on a stick) album!!! (That is.. According to their twitter...)
ARE YOU READY BITCHES!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Double U Tee Eff!!!

Ok, im a little freaked out... My computer is beginning to awaken... Its the start of the APOCALYPSE!!!
I have no idea what is going on, but my computer is randomly pushing its disk tray in and out. This is seriously freaky! What the hell!?
Speaking of the apocalypse, SUPERNATURAL IS ON TONIGHT!!!

Great Day Out on the Water!

Despite forcasts, the wind was minimal and the ocean flat, which were the exact conditions that I dived in today. Taking my camera out for a test drive again brought immense disapointment as again it leaked after being replaced by the manufacturer. But despite this mishap and not being able to take the camera on the second dive, I think I ended up taking some of my best photos I have ever taken. Here are some of the best:

After going down, a ledge stretching for about 5-6m had at least a full bag limit of crayfish underneath. These are some of the first ones I found.


After looking under the ledge I turned around and 3 enormous Bull Rays glided past. They were roughly 1.7m in diameter. This is not one of my best photos though...


This is one of favourites, the yellow and pink soft coral polyps are absolutely amazing to look at. These were in abundance on the roof of a large cave i ventured into.


A starfish (Mosaic Sea Star) just for you Joe


An amazing Venusta Cowrie that I found gave me a great opportunity to have a photo out in the open. These cowries are quite uncommon now as they used to be taken off the reef for their beautiful shells. Taking one from the rock usually means another dies, as they move minimally, they usually have 1 mate that dies if the other is taken. Sadly this means that they are quite a rare find now.
Hope you enjoyed my photos and hopefully i get my camera fixed so you can enjoy more!

FINALLY!!!

At last! Today i have got what i have been waiting for!

A Pay Rise!

$$$$$$$$$$

Just for Joe...

A late match report:
The Awesome, needing a sub for their team ended up recruiting Joe... (jokes joe :P)
Absolutely great game, it started off with a bit of climatising from The Awesome, as Joe is new as a sub for Jay (Joe for Jay lol) and Geoffrey's strong defensive tackle being nursed (though still performed during the last half). The defence was strong, Joe making great saves and keeping The Awesome in the game for much of the first 5-10 minutes. However, 2 defensive mistakes led to two great goals scored by the opposition making The Awesome 2-0 down. Somehow fighting back in what must have been the last 6-7 minutes before half time they managed to equalise the game with two much needed goals for The Awesome, which kept up the morale. The first was an absolutely brilliant goal scored by Thomas with a (bad) set up leading to a full rocketing volley into the back of the net.
Joe was needed alot in the second half, as many shots were fired at the Epic FC goalkeeper. All to no avail for no goals were let in during this wonderful second half. The defense began to realise just how much Geoff contributed to the team as Geoff pushed players up front so he could stay back with a wounded leg. Pushing himself for the team, Geoff was a brick wall when tackling in defense despite his injury. Goal highlights are a bit distant but it involved my own goal (a toe punt :P). The opposition fighting to no avail led to more goals for The Awesome ending with the final whistle, the opposition scoring nothing in the second half due to awesome epic (colourblind) keeping.

End Score: 2-7 to The Awesome

Really good game. Next week hopefully some bonus points can be earned when versing the bottom team L33tn355 (i think thats how you spell it) but The Awesome still need to keep their wits about them and expect a tough team. Good luck this friday!

Some Geetars I Created...

An "interesting" and very similar recreation of my epic dream guitar...

This guitar below is not epic... Does anyone know a guitarist that would use one of these? It would be interesting if they did...

Ok. I admit my apoligies

Yes ok, that was a biased match report. I think that it was very harsh reading it back and i am sorry to whoever i offended. You guys are right, it was just a football game, but i was sore and a little hyped up myself when i wrote this and i apoligise to all who i have offended. I have deleted the post and i will make a new one that is more accurate and less biased below.

The game was intense. Great runs and strong tackles dominated the play. Two sets of friends pitted against each other in a game full of skill and deep hoping for a win on both sides. Epic Fc came out strong in the first half. Great shots and strong tackles but all in the heat of the game. Joseph managing to keep Epic Fc in the game for the whole of the first half until suddenly a bad tap in led to a goal for The Awesome and kicking the scores off to 1-0. Another great goal before half time gave a very close 2-0.
Both teams going all out in the second half were pumped to get their goal tally's up, the Awesome wanting bonus points as well as a win. Epic Fc causing a riot in the Awesome's attack meant that goals were missed and many shots blocked which caused much frustration for The Awesome. However the score tally continued to rise for The Awesome, bringing another 3 to the goal tally including a penalty taken by Conor because of a badly timed back pass by an Epic Fc defender.

End Score 5-0 to the Awesome

Epic FC played very well. I must comment on their defence because it was iron solid. No shots were getting on target because of immense pressure by their defense. Great and strong game.
The Awesome, not their best game, but coming out with a win meant that they were happy and the bonus point just adds to their celebrations.
Great Game. Sorry for the match report guys.

End of Year Trip

I may have discussed (bragged) that at the end of next year, my parents have bribed me to not go to leavers with a trip overseas to anywhere i like. I have chose a week long liveaboard trip in the Maldives with 3 dives each day :D
Anyway i made a list of things i would like to get before i go. I would give you a brief list but the items probably would mean nothing to you but i figured out, on excel, everything about how much money and how long it will take me to save up...

Total Amount (estimate): $2,320
Hours Needed to Work: 246.81 hours
Average Shift Days (5 hours per shift): 41.13 shifts
Average Weeks: 27.42 weeks
Average Years: 0.53 years

Showing the list to my dad, he did think that one of the items needed more attention... My regulator which i need to breathe from... which is the most important piece of gear needed... which i left aside $150 for... but half a grand I put aside for camera equipment... :P

Retaliation:

mmmm retaliation. But maybe Google was confused your team, Emo, with another team because it is undeniably truthful now...

Jelly Belly

They're like Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans from Harry Potter, only real...

Exams...

Today's school day (last one ever!) has now finished! However, another enemy is lurking in the gloom, and it's name is EXAMS!
I have 4 of them over the course of the next three days, as well as 4 (yes 4) next week, one of the second week exams also includes a practical performance exam for music.
To all i hope the best for the next week and 3 days and wish all the best to your results. Good Luck!!!

My Weekend

My weekend started great, friday night we won indoor so i was happy and buzzed in the morning. Went to squash on saturday morning and was put up to the best group of players which i ended up losing dismally to 2 or 3 while almost beating 4 others. While playing a the best player on the court (plays for WA in state competitions) i was drilled just inside my leg and below the knee giving me something to swear about for the next minute. After recovering, i preceded to lose 2-11 (thats really bad...)
Saturday night, i stayed up late to finish my Music Assignment due on monday and succeeded which made me happy.

But the happiness was short lived the next day when i had to go to work at 11am meaning no sleep in :(
While at work, not only did i have to fill so many tanks from people going diving for crays during the cray season, that my hands were red raw from having to twist the valves, but I also had an O-Ring on one of the tank valves explode when i attempted to take the filling tap off the tank after filling it.

The O-ring on the left is a normal o-ring, the one on the right is what is left of the one that exploded. It scared the living shit out of me when it exploded, leaving me embaressed as well because the whole shop was staring at me because of the loud noise. After this occurance and having to fill loads more tanks, the group of student were late so I ended up going home late as well, but i was happy because i got another hour worth of pay :)
PS: Giving luck to everyone for exams by the way, especially those who have tests and assignments due on the next two days. :D

They SHOOT! They SCORE! They WIN!!!

Ok, well that was a lame title, but im tired...
Returning to Bouncers Sports for their 6th game against Green Machine this afternoon, The Awesomes had to put the score sheet from last week's win right after the stupid referee mixed up the scores and put them the wrong way round. This resulting in points to the wrong team. They managed to right this however and noticed that they were in 3rd place below Scorgasmic and "Not so Sexy" (faggot whore) Skillz.
Coming onto the pitch bright and ready the game kicked off to a brilliant start, with a goal scored in the first 12 SECONDS :O (By The Awesome of course :P)
Spirits and morale high, The Awesome continue their rain of shots on the opposition, but somehow cockiness seemed to intervene as players pushed up in attack leaving gaping holes in defence leading to a variety of shots on the current goalkeeper (myself).
After 2 more goals by The Awesome, an opposition player pushed through a hole in the defence and managed to put a shot in at a possible but sharp angle, meaning quick thinking was needed by myself for a badly placed "Foster Parry" somehow leading in the ball travelling into the goal slowly requiring a diving fingertip save to finish.
The score continued to rise for The Awesome, leading up to a 5-0 score at half time.
Second half was more hectic, The Awesome pushing to get bonus points to catch up the the Whorebagchickennuggetjoeiscolourblindfaggots in first position on the ladder.
A hailstorm of shots was flown at the opposition by the Awesome, however only 2 were on target and put past the keeper.
Fighting back for some goals, the opposition took a run up the middle. A badly controlled run meant the ball was to far ahead of the player, meaning Miguel could get in front of him for a deflection, but somehow he kicked it resulting in The Awesome's first OG.
Taken aback, but not discouraged The Awesome kept going, but the team began to wear down. They became slightly sloppy with positioning and passing as well as having terribly placed shots at seemingly impossible to miss angles/positions. As players began to become tired, the GK position was needed more than ever, as it was used as a pit stop for The Awesome. More goals were scored by both opposition and The Awesome resulting in the score being 9-2.
A similar situation as before with an opposition player running through the middle with more control on the ball gave Miguel another window to regain himself, giving the player a small nudge. That nudge resulting in the player flying across the field in a flurry of limbs and landing hard in a heap before getting back up, almost hitting Miguel (big fucking mistake buddy) and also resulting in a yellow card for Miguel, causing more stress for the team with having only 3 out field and 1 GK all quite worn out.
Managing to hold out till Miguel came back on with 30 or so seconds left and deperate to get bonus points The Awesome sent a ball to midfield where I managed to run foward with the ball and taking what I would call a "Shot of Faith" I took a strike, somehow managing to get the ball past one defender, through the legs of the second and into the bottom far post corner at an impossible saving spot for the keeper who had less than half a second to react.
Having their bonus point, the Awesome didn't stop, they kept attacking their opposition in the last 15 seconds, putting a ball through to Conor in a cross and resulting in a brilliantly placed 11th goal before full time.

Final Score: 2-11 to the Awesome!

I think over all the team played well. I also think though that at times positioning began to get sloppy, as communication on the back line became quiet and also as players kept wanting their small moment of glory for a goal. I also think that the opposition played well, loads of shots that were brilliantly saved as well as ones that managed to go off target with building pressure from The Awesome's defence. Overall it was a good game both to watch and play.

Next week will come to see another game, however the fate of the two rival teams will soon clash when we see next week:
The Awesome Vs. Epic FC...

Yay another useless Measurement!!!

If you don't believe me...
MORE INFO HERE!

Wow...

While working on my chemistry assignment I came across this new type of plant/seed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed

My Challenge/Aim

My challenge or aim for this season for indoor is to score a total of 14 goals before the end of the season. At the moment, my tally stands at 6, which means i have a goal average of 1.2 goals per game. Which means if i continue with this average i have a possibility of making this goal quota.
I WILL SCORE 14 GOALS!!!

Getting up and Dusting themselves off, The Awesome Win!

After the shocking play last week against the gay faggot shit head team, The Awesome played a very good sported and contrasted team from last week and came out on top, rising up from the ashes of defeat.

The game, starting annoyingly early because of a stupid referee bitch, meant that I myself did not see nor play the first 4 minutes of the game. Pissed off and slightly disheartened, i came on the field with only one goal in favour of The Awesome on the score board. Seconds after coming onto the field, a goalkeeper sent the ball flying towards my marked player, who preceded to turn me and score an equalizer making my spirits dampen even further, but raising my determination. After being turned another 2 or 3 times by the same player, Jay put me in goal, much to my relief and therefore fixing the hole in the defence.

After I was put in goal, our team came out with another goal for their constant battering of the defensive opposition. And in response, the opposition managed to come back and score a debateable goal which, we thought, had hit the crossbar and come out, but the stupid referee bitch called the goal. Without protest, The Awesome continued to score another 3 or 4 goals before half time, giving them a very considerable lead.

Looking to get another bonus point, The Awesome's play finally started to meld with their players, as their vision, passing and communication improved. Even my own play improved alot, leading for myself to end up with a mistimed and miskicked goal and a simple finished goal adding another 2 goals to my goal tally as well as to the score board. Coming out fighting, the opposition responded with another goal, as a result of bad defensive communication and aiming for that next bonus point, The Awesome started taking more and more risks as the opposition became more and more tired. After having the score at 9-3, The Awesome pushed more and more to get their final goal, and even a last 1.5 minute subbing, leading in two poorly missed chances in front of goal. The Awesome's attacking came to nothing as the whistle was blew for full time.

Final Score: 9-3
(this is what you should do Joe instead of leaving it open for people to read again to count each of your goal recounts :P)

The Awesome played very well, but not as well as they could have. Determined to make their way up the ladder and back to 1st position, they are looking to play harder and faster than ever before. It is obvious by the ladder that 3 distinct teams including the faggot team from last week and The Awesome will probably be in the finals, leaving one spot open for The Awesome's rival maybe?

The opposition definitely played well, especially the girl on their side who managed to put foot in and stop quite a few goal attempts by the Awesome. Adding to this, the sportsmanship between the teams was great resulting in an enjoyable game between the two both to play and watch.

Next week, The Awesome could maybe be looking to improve their vision in front of goal, which becomes more tunneled when we have the ball near goal. The play and possession in their own half was exceptional and their communication have improved alot since last week which was to be expected.
Another thing looking to improve on next week is the amount of goals to get those bonus points!!!

Congrats to Epic FC for their win as well :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Happy 100th POST!!!

YAY!!!

I just cannot WAIT!!!

B4MV! Need i say more?
Looking up more recently about Bullet, i read the wikipedia page a little more closely:

Bullet for My Valentine confirmed in August 2009 that they are aiming for an early 2010 release for the new album, while Tuck stated that the upcoming record is "a lot more mature-sounding, it's a lot more classic. It'll stand the test of time [more] than both the previous things we've done".

Im taking it that B4MV next album might be more like the first and even better?!
That would be AWESOMENESS ON A STICK!!!

Out of Context Conversations

Have you ever walked around a corner talking to someone, only for someone (probably known to you) walks past and hears you say something wierd. Well that happened to me today after coming out of double Biology. I was talking to Tyler about the new goldfish that has replaced some fiesty ones in our biology room. As we were walking around the corner we were sarcastically talking about the fiesty fish having goldfish babies even though they are completely different species after some interestingly stupid comments...
However as i said "goldfish babies" i walked around the corner and Conor was at his locker... lolz...
Conor needed to be in the conversation to realise the context of those oddly placed words yet he didn't so i ended up getting a usual "your fucking wierd" look from Conor.

SORRY CONOR!!! But now you know...

Shocking Mail

Arriving home after school today, I discovered a letter on my desk. Not thinking much off it i went about my afternoon "ritual" which includes having a cup of coffee. Anyway, I went back to my room and took a closer look at the letter and in the top right hand corner i saw who sent it:
Office of the Director of Public Prosecution
Of course, shocked at first, thinking about all the illegal activities i'd done in the last month or so and after coming up with nothing i opened it. Of course, still in shock i read the first few lines quite fast which i thought said "We are writing to you to let you know that you have been accused of Aggravated Robbery..."
However, lucky for me, I read it again and it that instead of "you have been" it actually said "the" which meant that it was refering to the train station brawl that i filmed and witnessed.
Apparently they may have need for me in court to recount the event which is really unlucky for me because chances are that they could clash with dates around my Year 12 exams, but the form i have to send back means that they will be flexible with the dates seeing how i am a key witness with iron clad evidence.
I have learnt a lesson when in these situations:
DON'T GET INVOLVED!!!

Overstepping the Mark?

You know how there is a movie called MILK!?
Well there is one called "Colour Blind" so go die Joe!!!

If you don't believe me:

The End is Near in 2012

After a recent discussion after school, it has come to my attention that there will be a movie coming out soon called 2012, which is about the "End of the World" or the "Apocalypse" (i like that word...)
Anyway there is quite a few reasons that this probably might happen, and im going to go through them...

Number 1: The Mayan Calendar
The Mayans were extremely good at making astrological equipment out of the raw materials that they had. They predicted the moon cycle roughly 34 seconds out with this equipment, and with it they also predicted that the end of the world will be December 21st 2012.
However they also killed virgins as sacrifices...

Number 2: The Sun
Scientists (probably American...) have discovered that the solar storms around the sun have been increasing in intensity after a so called "stable period". The storms have been destroying satellites and knocking out power grids (apparently. These storms will end life and everything as we know it (lovely...). The "stable period" is said to peak around 2012...
However, the scientists are probably from NASA who are a bunch of lunatics that decided to send a bomb to the moon to see what was underneath it... Very trustworthy...

Number 3: The Atom Smasher (or the Hydron Collider)
The Collider is set to do its first real test in 2012 and some of the possible consequences, according to some scientists, have been mini black holes that could suck in the earth and kill everything...
There has been recent rumors that the machine has been sabotaged a few times and that versions of "us" from the future have been blamed because we could be causing an end of sorts to happen and therefore they sent people back in time to stop the collider from working...
You would think that if something did go wrong with this and something happened, that future people (that can design time machines) can know how to permanently disable it...

Number 4: The Trusty Bible
Need i say much more? they say that the final battle between Good and Evil will be in 2012... Baaaa Baaaa

Number 5: (An American) Volcano
Scientists (again) are saying that the Yellowstone National Park, known for its thermal springs and geyser, is on one of the biggest volcanos which is said to erupt every 650 000 or so filling the atomosphere with ash and suffocating everything as well as blocking out the sun and causing a 15 000 year winter. The volcano has been estimated to explode in 2012.
Well they are American...

Number 6: More Scientists
Mathematical Uni students have calculated that the earth is overdue for a catastrophic event and that it happens to fall around 2012.
They said that their statistics are 99% accurate... What about the other 1%...

Number 7: Magnetic Field
The magnetic field surround the earth protecting us from the rays of the sun is said to switch the poles every 750 000 years and we are 30 000 years overdue. The poles have been drifting apart roughly 20-30 kilometers each year (apparently). The magnetic field can dissapear for up to 100 years leaving everything to burn, burn, burn...
Why does everything have to burn??? God must be a pyromaniac...

So the weather in the future is probably high UV Rays followed by Volcanic Eruptions and the smite of God and Jesus, ending in the life as we know it. Great... By the end of the day i will have a countdown going somewhere on my blog for the end of the world. Have a great day!

PS: Make sure you get good things for this Christmas and the next because if the Mayans are right, then we only have 2 left :D

Halloween

I'm sorry for the people i offend by saying this, but Halloween is the most pointless, idiotic, unaustralian and poor excuse for a "holiday" that was ever created. I admit, it is however a good excuse to have a horror themed party at someones house where everyone dresses up, but i think that the parents that encourage their AUSTRALIAN kids to dress up and knock on stranger's houses in the afternoon to get lollies is just stupid.
STRANGER DANGER MUCH!!!
I also hate that i wasn't aloud to play Playstation because the noises would "hint" that someone was home and that all the lights at the front of the house were off resulting in me stubbing my toe on a skirting board when turning the corner.
You may have guessed by now, but I REALLY HATE HALLOWEEN!!!
SCREW YOU AMERICA!!!

Beachd Az!!!

You may remember me bringing up the topic of the Beached Az becoming a mini series on ABC. Well it started a while ago and you can find the episodes on YouTube. Its much the same but still very... unique... and kiwi...
Episode 2:


lolz, NOOOOOOOO WEYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Shocking Defeat

The Awesome have lost their first game of the season to one of the dirtiest team I have ever played, EVER! Through my anger, i will resist to call the "Stupid Idiotic Faggots of Faggot Town" team names of every shape and description and keep this match report unbiased...

Well, the game kicked off, after the last few weeks of wins The Awesome was in high spirits and morale. The other team, after having won their last game against The Awesome's rival team Epic FC and breaking one of their players were ready to go in hard. And hard they did...

The game play ended up with a goal being slipped through by the opposition (shit fail nugget fucks), as a result of shocking and dirty tactics from the Stupid Idiotic Faggots of Faggot Town team. Fouls everywhere, yet the referee must have had a broken whistle because none of them were called. I myself, was not on the field (outfield) until the last 5 minutes of the second half, after being in goal for the first 5 and being off for the second five. 2 other goals were scored in quick gameplay by the opposition (shit fail nugget shithead bitch fucks) as well as a goal being put passed the keeper for our one and only goal for The Awesome. The end of the first half (score 3-1) brought alot of good critizism by The Awesome, opting that the defence need to talk and that I myself, need to be more careful due to hard tackles on the opposition including almost underfooting a player in the FACE!!!

The second half began, with The Awesome having no choice but to go in equally as hard or risk being broken or tripped over by the opposition (shit nugget fail bitch monkeycunt fucks). After the first 5 minutes in goal, I came out after conceding a goal which was very well placed, yet still shaken by the dirty play The Awesome's defence was beginning to deteriorate. A shining chance was given with a half volley to the left of the goal for myself, however at the last moment the ball was pulled away by another player resulting with him getting a gigantic boot in the base of the shin, resulting in abuse and a warning from the referee for myself which i opposed before getting back into he play. Still not holding back, The Awesome held off the opposition and managed to hold them back. The opposition, deciding to play it safe and to play possesion in the back with the goal keeper, but managed to score again while the team was tired and basically disheartened with the physical play and the score.

End Score 5-1 against The Awesome.

Next time we play this team (faggot shithead bitch hole cunt fucks) we need to go in hard early and make sure that we don't hesitate in front of goal but still keep eyes peeled for players in better scoring positions. The 2 keepers on the other sides were extremely good and we need to get that ball past them in the best way possible.

Overall, i must comment that the game was extremely dirty and was at times very biased in the opposition's favour due to a very quiet referee. This team needs to be set straight, because the play tonight was out of control and it is not a surprise that Emerson developed an injury while playing this team. I think however that their dirty tactics was very unnessesary as the team was actually very good skill wise, but they need a more level head when playing otherwise people end up getting hurt or angry because one of The Awesome decide to fight back and stand up for themselves.

Next time, this team will be demolished and we will be ready for their dirty tactics and we will counter it with PURE AWESOME SKILL and not "sexy" skill.

YAY!

I finally worked for the first time in 3 months on Sunday for a generous 4.75 hours...
Oh well, better than Brittany's hours i guess :P
Anyway i also booked myself into an Advanced Dive on Saturday morning meaning i will be bringing back some photo's to post which i've mentioned will be put up on my myspace as well as the best being posted here. So keep your eyes open for new pictures coming soon!

How 'bout seeing this sign?

This was found out the front of the "Kiwi Shop" (bru) and it made me wonder why NZ is making fun of themselves. I suppose it is a well known joke that Australia has with New Zealand but I'm beginning to wonder when that funniness stops... Is it when New Zealand gives in to their reputation? or is that reputation a regular occurance?
Got to admit though, that sign is pretty funny :P

RIP with your injury emo

Could you please emo come to our game on friday so you can:

1) Point out the guy that did your knee in so we can break his face, knee and other joints that cause pain.

2) Watch us slaughter them with goals in retaliation.

Please, if your knee permits!

Home Alone

Home alone again... after not being invited to another "group" gathering.

OMFG are you Stupid!?

While alot of you guys were out at "Adventure World" i have to say that all the classes became very...quiet. However, during our religion class we had a very interesting comment coming out of Miss Skender when she asked:

"Who's Barack Obama???"

To a reply of:

"Are you serious!?!?"

Another Game, Another WIN!!!

Yes, as the title suggests, the Awesome's have won their latest game! YAY!!!
The score ended up as 9 - 2 to The Awesome in an all out battle for everything or nothing.
Another two goals was added onto the tally for "Yours Truly" :) as well as other players being able to scrape a few through.
Conor, making his ultra-awesome-comeback-match-of-coolness-and-joyness managed to scrape through quite a few goals which pushed up his tally, as well as a cheeky goal towards the end of the first half, by kicking the ball from behind him and flicking it with the side of his right foot. This MUST earn him the GOAL OF THE MATCH!
A lack of fitness on the behalf of all players especially myself was evident in the second half, as the opposition managed to slip two past our goalie. However, i must say that communication, control and possession of the ball is extremeley exceptional as well as a great "If they push, we push harder" attitude.
All in all a great match and i'm looking foward to next week :D

PS: Unlucky on the loss by The Awesome's rival Epic FC especially after the injury of Emerson hurting his knee towards the end of the first half. Good Luck for next week guys!

I think that the word generator needs a makeover...

WTF does this say!?!?!?

Just a Question

What is the Atomic Number (amount of protons) in Thulium (Tm)?

Report from the Opening Night for the Showcase

Well, to sum it up in a couple of words; nice music and awesome art. Emerson started off the first 30 minutes by being included in many items including a very impressive solo. After some presentations and viewing, the second set of items came on stage including a monologue and a dance from Ms Morgan's Dance Team. Along with these two highlights came my own item which featured a Mozart piece and, I must say, pinned it perfectly. After browsing around the exhibitions and seeing Rachel Farag do her beatiful live piece on a drawing tablet which transfered onto the over head projector (which really didn't do it justice).

As well as Wong's piece which he also did on the drawing tablet following Rachel's. Please note that both of these were done using Adobe Photoshop (I think?) and that the drawing tablet is basically a touch screen with a stylis that you use on the screen which shows the exact same things as a normal computer screen.

Just Sayin Hi,

Just saying hello from both myself and Emerson from school waiting for the Showcase Opening Night to start. Both of us, among other students, are doing solos for the opening night as well as some other people who are performing such as Wong who, if i understand correctly, is doing a "live drawing" where he will do a live artistic piece under the watchful eye of the public watching on a projector. Shoul end up being a nice night so wish us luck!

I am FREE!!!

By free i mean that i am free from the clutches of my tooth! Yes, i am one of not so many that has a root condition in my teeth where they dissolve very slowly. This means that i still had (until today) two baby teeth left. It was bugging me for ages, because i would try and eat and it would move into a wierd angle causing extreme pain when i bit down on it. I had enough of it and managed to get rid of it with a trusty piece of string and a pair of metal scissors. The scissors were used as a weight which i tied to my tooth with the use of string and then i dropped the scissors and it came out. I could not bring myself to pull it out by hand :(
Anyway, i can now eat in peace, though i was extremely surprised that it bled so much so i don't think it was as ready to come out as i thought and it may take time to heal...
I can't help but think that i self inflicted harm on myself, because this is the first time i "aided" in the extraction of one of my teeth. However, i don't care because I AM FREE AT LAST!!!

To Emerson.

Though i think that it wasn't cyberbullying as such but as a breach in aguement boundries, i think that we both took it too far. I have touched on this subject before and i think that comments should not be used to put others down and i have realised my hypocritical actions. And for that i am sorry, but i think i had a reason to get slightly angry about the topic and the intentions of the comments being made. For that reason i deleted the comments in hope to kill the arguement but when you attacked me for disallowing comments for the posts, i have to admit that the retaliation was unnecessary.
Following this i will open comments back open in my next posts.

Sarcasm

- Does not need permission for use
- Will never have permission for use
- Not ruled by a so called "God" because they don't exist
- Intended to not be taken seriously
- Will be used continually on this blog for most, if not all, future posts
(Look out for it! It might be hard to spot for some people!)

Have a Nice Day! :D

EDIT; Emerson, WTF!? Im alowd to do anything i like with my blog including restricting comments. I did it to stop idiots like YOU making further comments on the current subject. I stopped the comments as a subtle way to say "DROP THE FUCKING SUBJECT BECAUSE IT WAS POINTLESS AND STUPID!!!"

Ahhhh Summer is on its way!

No matter how hot it is, as long as it isn't snowing or raining, i am happy. I do not like being cold, especially in winter. I don't mind summer because the warmth does not stop you from doing things that you wouldn't do in the winter. For example, going to the beach. Not many people go to the beach while its raining in a thunderstorm in gale force winds unless they are crazy and slightly wierd or satanic. (Or unless they are doing a rain dance)
Anyway, i'm just saying that now that the warmer weather is coming along, i am really happy. This year was alot more rainy than last year, and im glad the worst of it (most of it too) is over, and all we have ahead of us is a nice warm summer which we can bathe and relax in. It also means that the holidays are starting soon and the fun is just beginning ;)

The Awesome's Win!!!

Well, the supposedly secret score for The Awesomes has now been leaked/announced and i have to say that i am really happy with the game. Our fitness is already improving, though we had all 6 ORIGINAL players instead of 4 + a fill in (thanks James!).
Goals went out quite evenly, with top scorers being geoff and miguel with 4 each and i myself managing to slip 2 past the keeper.

Final Score: 14 - 0 to The Awesome

My thoughts on our new player is very positive, after all he plays way better than me (which isn't hard...) but it is gwd to have another left footer (i assume) on the court. I took a guess because he seemed to favor the left side of the court and that led to my assumption. His efforts managed his first goal in his first game, much to the appreciation of the team :D

The Awesome and its close rival are starting their rampage across the ladder, but who will succeed? Most probably The Awesome at this point due to their 1 win advantage but who's counting? :P

For those who might not know

For those who are interested, Alesana is going to release their new album early next year named "The Emptiness".
Very interestin title...
The probable release date will be January 26th 2010.
Those who are interested in Alesana should check out wikipedia because the album's description by its band members is very...interesting...

"It has also been mentioned that the album's setting is at the turn of the 20th century, and on a lesser scale involves time travel." Wikipedia: Alesana

Finally!!!

At last, i have a glimmer of hope for my (atm) low bank balance. I walked into my small shop that is my work place and asked my boss in person when i could get work. For those who don't know, i haven't worked in roughly 2 months because my work (being a dive shop) goes into basic hibernation for the winter and half the spring. Now that my work is starting to send out boat dives when weather permits, my boss told me that work will be started very soon :D
This is awesome news! But what makes it better is that if i don't get work this weekend, my boss offered me a completely free boat dive! Which gives me a chance to try out my new and replaced camera and my brand new certified diving watch!
New pictures, though i will try and post the BEST of the BEST on here, will all appear on my specially made (for photos) myspace page because it is easier to load to it than on to blogger. I made it quite a while ago, before my camera started to leak and i had to send it back to the manufacturer in America. However the pictures i took before i sent the camera away can be found there if your willing to look.

My Close Encounter

After noticing on the news that a 4.5m Great White was spotted 50m off the beach of a local perth beach, i began to reflect on the instances where I myself have been in the water with sharks. Only one of them, i might add, i caught on film. The first shark was roughly 1.2m long and was the biggest Port Jackson Shark i have ever seen. You may be able to notice the eye ridges on the sillouette in th picture which is unique to the spieces. I might also mention that this shark has jaws that are only capable of crushing and not for biting and tearing flesh. :P

My Second encounter was in hawaii and was of a more dangerous kind. We were diving at a spot called Coco's Craters and it was on the edge of a cliff face of an extinct volcano. The lavatubes around the base were often long and large enough apparently to fit a 1.5m white tip reef shark. Intriqued by other divers gathering around the edge of one of these caves, i went to investigate, and was rewarded with a shark swimming straight at me, looking not very happy with its home being invaded. Staying still as possible, it swam past me, showing typical body language such as pointing its pectoral (side) fins down and swimming alot more awkwardly. It swam back into the cave and i of course left it well alone!

Still Waiting....

I've been waiting for a while now, and i don't know why Three Days Grace has not made dates to come to OZ. They can bring Skillet with them to tour their new album as well! 2 great bands, 1 city... Comon!!!

Oh DAM IT!!!

I left all my homework to the last second... again!
I hate homework, especially when you have to write the rest of a full Sonata piece for music by the first lesson ie. Wednesday
I'm only 1 third done, so if i do it tomorow and the tuesday night... I will be finished!!! HURAY FOR DOING THINGS LATE...
After all... its just music... and the teacher is an a-hole

*Shrugs*

Public Anouncement!

The Awesomes just won their first game of the season. It was filled with epic face offs with the ball, great crosses, awesome goals and all with two players missing (Conor :( and Jay) The End Score was a close 3-2. The match was a bit too close, however we managed to win the game with some great goals and awesome play! As well as an appearance from James, who played his position well under the conditions.
However, their rivals Epic Fail Club lost their first match. How long will they be able to last until they crack under the pressure or lose to The Awesome? Only time will tell.

Something Else that's New (Now i'm Just Bragging)

My New GOLF BAG!!! Look out Conor, next time we play, i will have style as well as skill :P

What's This??? In HD?!

FUCKIN HELL!!!

Did anybody know?

Did anybody, except pucc who sadly followed, that "Haywood" has a blog. It failed in three posts. Something to add to the list of fail blogs?

Haywoods Blog

Quick Post

More information on the Great Blue Hole of Belize here

Also, i'm not happy about how people aren't invited even though they are in the group. What the hell? No wonder some people are set up to hate others. I'm really pissed off about not going, but i'd guess i would rather not go because i have better things to do than waste my time with people such as that (especially, in the case of wong, where you have been asked to pay dispite everyone else not having to pay).

*Virtual flip off to this person*

The "Great Blue Hole" of Belize

It's exactly that: A big.....blue....hole....

Golf

Today i played golf! yay!

I just thought to bring this up to show you guys this picture. Yes, behind the ball IS the flag/hole. Yes, to the right IS a sand trap. And yes, the ball is two centimeters away from the edge :P.

I hit that ball off the tee with a 3 Iron on a par 3 hole. For those that don't know what that means, it means that i was both very lucky and very skilled to not get the ball in that sand trap.

What out Perth! I've got my L's :D

As the title suggests, I have my learners permit. After waiting in line for ages, doing my test (and getting 100%), getting an interesting ticket to get my papers, i eventually walked out with my permit! yay!

Fear:

The feeling of fear, is the feeling that is going to be felt by the "Epic Fail Club" when/if they play "The Awesomes" (the name says it all really :D) on friday.

Comon guys! We promise we won't slaughter you too harshly :P

NZ's Stupid Little Hill they Call:

"Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu" is a hill in New Zealand (i call it a hill because it is only 300m high and because wikipedia does also :P). It is supposedly called this because it means "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one"

I bet his "loved one" felt special when this guy played a nose flute LOL!
Anyway, the other name, which is 105 letters instead of 85, is:
"Taumata-whakatangihanga-koauau-o-Tamatea-haumai-tawhiti-ure-haea-turi-pukaka-piki-maunga-horo-nuku-pokai-whenua-ki-tana-tahu"
And this means:
"The hill of the flute playing by Tamatea — who was blown hither from afar, had a circumcised penis, grazed his knees climbing mountains, fell on the earth, and encircled the land — to his beloved"

Trust the Kiwi's to come up with a name like that!!!

PS: I'm sorry that i copied this idea of posting interesting names but i came across it while researching the other ones that you guys came up with. :D

Answer!

Well it isn't an answer as such but just pointing out what i was refering to in the picture, but the stripes on the fish spell something. What does it spell?
Mother Nature is such as bitch!

Can Anyone Guess What is Wrong with this pic?

Take a real close look and if you spot it then BRAVO!!!

More James Bond 007

Conor, yes there was fire in Quantam of Solace. And yes, it did carry on a bit, but just to prove how much of a 007 fan i am. Look at this: :P

All (i think) 22 movies from Dr No - Quantum of Solace (which is a blu-ray) :)

I must be "Hexed"!

Yeh! I suppose that every time i go to some sort of a match at somebodies house, the team i go for (Man UTD or the Wallabies)lose. This will not happen this weekend against sunderland. Why? Because Sunderland is Fail! :P

Manchester UTD for the WIN!!!! BITCHES!!!!

Oh yeh and speaking of football, Indoor Soccer is happening again! Yays! Though i think the season may be boring because it will be too easy for our epicly awsome team :D

Its not just stirred, but being shaken overtime!!!

Oh no, i have been reduced to an "emerson pun" as my title but no matter. The pun is of course refering to the next James Bond movie that is having troubles lately. This is absolutely shocking and devestating to me :(

Article:
It seems that film studio MGM's financial peril could put two anticipated films at risk. According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, MGM recently held a conference call with its bondholders in a desperate plea for funding. It was said that the studio missed its financial earnings and was in need of $20 million to cover overhead and an additional $150 million to continue developing The Hobbit and the new untitled James Bond film, Bond 23.


So the bondhholders said to MGM, in essence, that they were going to let the studio go bankrupt and collect their money since they'd be first in line to get paid. But Cooper explained that this would be the worst possible outcome for the creditors and the company. Because if MGM were forced into bankruptcy, then it would lose James Bond and the studio doesn't think it can stay alive without 007. Also, a lot of other issues would surface that would tremendously hurt MGM.

Also, if MGM goes through bankruptcy, that's a very expensive prospect (where only the lawyers get rich), and extremely disruptive (since who would do business with MGM in the interim) and won't get the creditors what they want which is their money back. It's more than simply MGM losing Bond. The studio could lose a lot of other franchises

OMG!!! This cannot happen or the next 007 movie will most probably be shite, (im sorry but i'm am going to say this) just like the past 2 movies. Now emo, before you give me links to sites that say "best movie ever" ect. I have to say that the past 2 James Bond movie with Daniel Craig have been lacking the "Bond Formula". They have changed his signature drink, car and phone, as well as Q (played by John Cleese in the movies before Daniel Craig).
Not good enough MGM!!!

Computer Failed Me :(

In my double period of music we had to do some practice on a program called "auralia" which tests your listening abilities on certain aspects of music (which i won't mention so that geoffry doesn't feel left out).
Today, emerson and i decided to try using the singing aspect of the program to better improve our listening of pitch. The excersise i was attempting was having to sing the higher pitched note when two notes are played similtaneously. I tryed to sing the note and the whole program froze... I broke the program with my singing. What made it worse was that it froze on the "you got it wrong" message while trying to make the "you got it wrong" sound.

Hahahaha! Fear me computers!

The Cockroach Guy...

Yeh well today i was walking to my last class of the day after drama (the dreaded RE) and as i was walking down the upstairs corridor, i was walking behind this guy who had a cockroach on his shoulder. It was about 1.5cm long and was simply crawling along his shoulder... Not knowing what to do (seeing how he was a year 12) i left it and didn't say anything. It crawled over his shoulder and i could no longer see it, and when he stopped at his classroom, i walked past him and looked for it quickly but didn't see it again. Either i didn't see anything and i was hallucinating or it crawled into the space between his shirt and blazer. I realised it was a bit late to tell him... Whoops...

In Reply to James' Sunset Pics...

I only have two really good sunset pics because i've only been out of Australia twice. These were both taken on Geograph Bay in Geraldton:
The girl in the picture is Lia that plays next to me in band

And this one is featured in my second post in this blog EVER!

What Happened?

I don't understand... what happened to the Moore River trip we were all planning? Is something going to be done before the place is fully booked???

Hahahaha LOL!!!

Where else would you go for dinner?

Year 12 Monologue Night

Tonight i volunteered to do lighting for the Year 12 Monologue night, which turned out really awesome! When i got there, i found out that instead of repeatedly pressing a "cue" button, i would have to do all the lighting manually with the switch board because the guy who set the cues did it wrong. I finally managed, however before the 2nd or 3rd performance, Kayla (backstage manager), tripped in the darkness while trying to set the stage for the next act. After tripping you could hear through my headset from Ms LaBrooy "Brandon, Kayla need lights to get off" after a slight panic: "Brandon! Lights!!!" I finally just switched on the main lights to full and everyone saw Kayla (after standing on stage waiting for lights for about 8 seconds) who eventually ran off stage to the clapping of the audience.

What did she have to say through her headset for my heroics? "Thanks for the most embaressing moment of my life Brandon!!!"

At this point i was silently laughing and having to quickly set up the lights for the next performance. This has so far been the highlight of my week! Sadly, at Kayla's expense... Sorry Kayla :)

Community Service with Joe

Today, some may have noticed that Joe and myself were absent. This was because we were doing community service at an interschool athletics carnival hosted at Carramar that my mum happened to be involved in (being a teacher and all...)

Highlights included the entertaining purple hat thing that was passed around :D

YAYAYAYAYAAY!!! 3DG is Awesome!!!

Geoff and Conor, you could have read this book...

As Conor and Geoff tried and failed to read the Darren Shan Series, i continued to read all of them and to great satisfaction. This series is awesome and is a must read for horror/adventure type books. Yeh, i know, i'm hypocritical about being "sick about all the twilight writer wannabees" but this book/series/saga is awesome and one of my top recommended books to read besides Cherub. If you want to borrow them then just ask :)

Anywho, the real reason i wanted to bring this topic up was because they are actually making a movie out of these books! yay! tis will be awesome!!! Warner Brothers have the rights to the movie so it should be pretty good. If you want to check out the movie or the series then click on the links.

I feel this movie will be a super hit, unlike Eragon which truly failed.
"Meet Darren, he's sixteen, going on immortal"
READ!!! READ!!! READ!!!

Maybe these people have run out of things to write?

Ok, Mega-Shark Vs. Giant Octopus...
There are a few things wrong with this: one the title, two the storyline, and three the graphics. Good Movie? Definitely NOT!!! Stupid Americans!

You just know...

You just know that youve been on the computer too long when you attempt to press the auto refocus on the bottom of the monitor with your mouse and try three times before you realise what is wrong. *sigh*

Emo...

Emo, your super kid challenge link still doesn't work. I tried again and it comes up with this:

The "We are tight with our spending lately" Talk

Yeh! i'm pissed! the other day i got the famous "We are tight with our money at the moment" speech and right now i'm super pissed. My mum (yes you read right, my mum) just got a brand new bike. I am absolutely disgusted. No wonder we're tight with our money, YOU JUST BOUGHT 25 GRAND WORTH OF BIKES AND GEAR YOU PHSYCHOS!!!

I am disgusted even to look at both the bike and my whole family. And to top it off, on thursday my mum said to me that she was planning to buy my dad (yes you read right, my dad) an iPhone! WTF!?! Why is it that i can't have an electric guitar but my parents can buy Motorbikes??? stupid MOFOS!!!

I hate how, not only did they go behind my back, buy the bike, and then drive it into the garage without telling me anything. And then they had the cheek to tell me how i am not allowd "loud" things and that they want to be tight with their money.
GO TO HELL!!!

My Photography Section

My blog now has a pictures section which will contain a photo from the many that i have taken both above and below the water. Keep watching it and i will try and update it each couple of days.
Enjoy!!!

My past few hours

Today on the bus to the train station i was called up by a policeman asking whether i was the person who filmed this fight 2 months ago. Shitting my self i of course said yes and i aranged a time for some cops to come round to take statements and stuff. At about 7:00 the police came over... i was scared because the first thing i noticed was their stun gun and glock... eeeeekkkk.
Anywho, they started to tell me why they were visiting excetra and then i showed them the video which they asked for a copy of and then asked if i wanted to give my statement and of course my parents said that what ever was more convenient for them would be fine. I ended up riding down to the police station in the cop car to make a statement where i relayed everything about the fight and gave them the video. I was there about an hour and came back home at about 8:10 where they said that i probably won't hear from them again unless the guy pleads "not guilty" in court which means they will need to take me in as a witness. OMFG.

And to answer your question matt, i was filming it because i couldn't exactly go up and break up the fight. There was about 4-5 of them and they all were alot older and taller than me, which is easy because i am short. I thought it would be better if i filmed it so i could give it to the police.

Exciting...
