All of them fallin', for the love of ballin'
As the NBA All Star Game approaches, I think it is only appropriate that we take ourselves back a few days to our glory years in high school, and answer a question we never did. One that has plagued the minds of onlookers for many a recess game, or as the Open’s A basketball team ran away to an undefeated championship. Many a time have I sat there, sipping at the beautiful, heavenly,...

Soul to Squeeze - RHCP (1991)
I love this song. RHCP at their lyrical best. It is mad, and I just keep it on loop for ages. For those of you that have had the pleasure of partying it up in the party car, then you may have heard me listening to this on loop. Great song. I was discussing yesterday with Sharon what we think the meaning of the song was about. In the end, we had to agree to disagree, but I just thought...

McDonald's and some Public Holidays.
It feels like my whole life these days is just one big Macca’s run. I live at McDonald’s. I have been spotted at a McDonald’s outlet so many times over the past few weeks that on occasions, I have been requested to take up a job as manager to the McDonald’s universe. I have had to respectfully decline each time though, for I already hold the permanent position of failing...
I don't like cricket. I love it.
The cricket is coming back. Watching the Australia A vs. England match recently, really gets the energy up and running, along with the anticipation of a home Ashes summer. Everybody likes to beat a Pom. In anything really. Cricket, Rugby, Badmington, Ping Pong, Mathematics, anything really. Heck, I think we’d love watching us beating them in damn AFL even though they probably...
Live fast, die young.
I live life on the wild side. It’s true. I can’t deny it. And as the saying goes ‘live fast, die young.’ I know many of you guys will just take that saying on face value and the statistics provided by certain authorities regarding the direct correlation between speeding and fatalities of young adolescents, but what some of you will not notice is that it is also proven...
The Art of Dreaming and Keeping it Real.
19 years isn’t very old, but at the same time I think it’s very long. Whenever I talk to family about my life and what is happening in it, it usually follows a very similar pattern. We discuss my gap yearing and this is usually followed by the question of “What, are you a girl? Don’t be so scared. You should’ve gone to Armidale.” And then normally someone...

Sociology 1A: Study of the creature Humanus...
The other day I went to the doctor to get my knee checked out. It’s been swelling up and hurting a lot, or as they say in the business, “causing great discomfort”. Knees are pretty important, and the pair I have are pretty much gone, hence my inability to jump even close to as high as I used to back in the days of high school when I used to jump straight to the maths rooms...
Longest blog post, probably ever.
Turns out today is Pink Ribbon day. Which begs the question, what were we doing selling stuff last Friday? Anyways, it was a lot of fun. It started all on Friday morning. I was pretty soft and didn’t go play basketball because my knee is all squishy. Anyways, headed out to the city at roughly some time and met up with the one and only Lo Zio. For those of you unaware, Bryan’s new...
Me and my friend, James. Soon to be dead.
So it turns out I’m going to die. In all the conversations I’ve had with everyone about life, and the plans we make in life, I never realised that I would be dead by 19. But so the cookie crumbles. And it’s all James’ fault. That knob. I think I might actually hate him. OK so I don’t hate him even a little bit, but it so his fault that we’re both gonna die...
Some ramblings.
OK so I’m struggling again with this whole blogging business. I mean there are so many things that when they happen I go ‘I’m blogging that’ and then never get round to it. Must be the weather. Can blame pretty much everything on the weather. Except for maybe the HomoGoblins’ losses. Studies show that seems to happen regardless of anything. It is indeed a...
Me and my friend, James.
The other day, me and my good friend Mr. Tang were musing over some things. Namely, we were discussing the way in which life seems to be so significant and at the same time so unimportant when you look at it in the whole scope of the universe. It’s like how if you think about it, nothing we do really matters unless we change the world, which unfortunately I’m not sure many of us will...
This is the end, my only friend. Maybe.
Everything that has a beginning has an end. Except for maybe Bryan’s loss streak at NBA Live. But that is merely a tangent to the circle which is the main conversation I wish to engage in today. So yeah, I’ve been thinking. I haven’t blogged in ages. Like I mean ages. I think it’s been so long that the last time I blogged, people could still remember the last time...

Ponderings of a 21st Century Ponderer.
So my computer broke. It all happened like a movie. First my msn was being super trash and inconvenient so I swore it to the depths of the ocean to never see the light of day again. And then in a dramatic twist, as if God Himself decided that I should be taught a lesson, my whole computer broke down. So now I don’t have a computer.
The sharp ones out there (Doug, James, Hey Arnold guy,...

OK, here we go. The return to the blogging universe. Not sure how this’ll go, but I spose there’s only one way to find out. So I was over at rival blogger Sy’s page the other day (I went undercover so no one could tell I was there) reading about her trip to Korea so I thought I’d just right some stuff about what happened in my month long expedition to discover the true meaning of love and the...

Let's watch some soccer, y'all!
I hope everyone is enjoying their Soccer World Cup Holidays, are what should be them. I reckon the universe would be happier if all school kids/uni kids/us got time off work to watch the soccer world cup. It is truly the world game, and as much as I wish I could say the same about cricket, I’d be lying. Anyways, this is just a quick post so let’s get on with it.

Let's watch some tennis, y'all!
A really short blog, just a look at a couple of nights ago. I’m not sure how many of you caught (I was just about to write catched then I realised what the correct terminology is) the women’s final of French Open. I did. Most of you will know that I exhibit true poser qualities by only watching/following tennis for the Australian Open, but I decided to watch this time cos I love my live sport...
Adventure Timez.
From Friday the 28th through to Saturday the 29th of May, something special happened. Most of you probably know it was Mike and Pete’s birthday party, but it wasn’t merely these two boys turning eighteen. It was more than that. It was the day we all grew up.
Kidding, most of us just got older by one day, but I just wanted to have a go at writing an epic blog post story, and after 2 and a little...

Welcome back nose, welcome back throat.
OK back from blogging diet. It’s like a diet where instead of not eating food I don’t blog instead. Anyways, to business, and I just blacked out. To the four conversations I had open at the time, my sincerest apologies. And yes, that last sentence was just to say that I had four conversations open at the same time. Anyways, back to the blackout. So we have our little electric box in the...

How to Live Life 101 - 2
One thing that seems to disturb us as humans is failure. No one likes to lose. Some people see it as merely just an extra fact about an event. But whether you see winning as merely a bonus to a good effort, or as the main point in an attempt, everyone would rather win than lose. I’m sure we’ve all heard and been told a million times that ‘Give it 100%. That’s all anyone can ask from you’ and...

I just wanted to use that sweet READ MORE feature.

Just a little poem.
So I’ve been rereading this book. I remember the first time I read it and I remember hating it. Hating it cos it was dumb and girly and dumb and just dumb in general. But now reading it, I understand. I’ll just put up a poem from it, written when the guy decides he’s gonna suicide. The book has great stuff on dreams, and love and just life in general, and it’s just...

Happy New Year - The Year of the Gap.
Well these last couple of weeks have been pretty boring. Same routine. Wake up late, eat late, do stuff late, be late late, sleep late and repeat. To give you a taste of the pointlessness of my life, last night I stayed up till 1:30 am in the morning with the intentions of watching Brett Lee bowl after coming back frmo injury to find his team batting first, so I went to bed. Crazy world. Did...

OK, firstly, if you haven’t read the post below, please go read it. Favourite post ever. I’ll try make Doug write more, specially if they make me cake myself like that last one. Well here is something I wrote a while ago. A little story kinda thingy. I also used stuff that I’ve already blogged here before so yeah. I’ve written others, and I’ve shown some people...

SO today I had uni. Rare occasion, amirite. We’re just chillin’ and shiz, in the upper Qlounge - watching fatties...
How to Live Life 101 - 1
It is much talked about why we get sad and stuff. There are many theories, but often by just thinking about the things that do make us, personally, sad sometimes, it is most often the things we care most about. A cruel irony, but if you think about it, it just makes sense I reckon. It’s kinda how we only ever hurt the people we never would, but that’s for another time. What I wanted to talk...
The Rap Game.
This gap year is driving me crazy. They should of called it crazy year. Or at least something less appealing than gap year. Gap year sounds so mysterious. Anyways, now that I realise that I can’t play cricket for Australia ever and I am not nearly qualified to undertake education to become a doctor, I think my last hope lies in the same area as all other professional failures: the rap game. ...
The Worst Blog Post in the History of Forever.
I gave in my form yesterday for ‘discontinuation something something’ to student central and was informed that I would receive an official notification, but otherwise I was done. That was it. Maybe I was expecting something different. I don’t know. Maybe some shocked looks and someone trying to stop me, but quitting was just straightforward. I didn’t have to even go “You can’t fire me, I...

OK this is a long one. Read at your own peril and probably especially if you don’t do law where you should be reading those encyclopaedias you guys carry around. Anyways, well, uni didn’t last very long. 1.536 weeks approx. I have no idea whether I am doing the right thing, but I spose we’ll find out soon enough. But in those 1.536 weeks we had plenty funs and I even met a couple of...
All the dreamers.
I have a bone to pick. In fact several bones. A whole skeleton. A whole skeleton made of one bone. This bone involves the rain. The dumb, stupid and dumb rain. Like all normal people, I love the rain sometimes, but after having politely asked in my previous blog for the conclusion of the rain dancing that was taking place, I thought, maybe foolishly, that whoever it was would kindly oblige.

Bored games.
I would like to start off today speaking about the winter Olympics. Actually, firstly I would like everyone to pause and truly appreciate the pun I have included in the title of today’s post.
OK, back to the winter Olympics. It is strangely addictive. Watching curling and bobsledding amongst other things, I have realised I have a strange passion for wasting a lot of time watching stuff I...
Spare Change
My blogging is quite weak these days. I spose it’s cos nothing much happens in my life, and the things that do happen are the same things that always happen. Routine is something that as humans we search for because it provides us with comfort. Sometimes it is mad, and sometimes it is lame. Like our Friday routines after school was always ridiculously awesome.
I’m not sure if you remember...
Miracles
Some people say that miracles are impossible. Some people say penguins can’t fly. Some people say that they have seen a music video of Alicia Keys where she isn’t standing playing the piano one handed. I say those some people are wrong. Recently I was talking to a friend about how crazy some ‘coincidences’ are. But thing is, I don’t believe in coincidence. I believe God works in mysterious...
Lord of the Rings (Part 1)
It has come to my attention that many of you have yet to see Lord of the Rings (I know SY hasn’t seen it, I’m not sure how many others) and others are not familiar with some of the quotes. Now many of you that haven’t seen Lord of the Rings, you may be thinking “That is not for me. Just mindless gore and fighting and killing and fighting and stuff and fantasy creatures and...

Cricketers, The Wierdness of
First thing I’d like to do is a shout out to Anthony “Phat” Le and Carol “Careezy” Kim, who may be leaving Sydney very soon for university studyings. I’ve known Phat and Carol for ages (couple of years) and it has certainly been a pleasure to ride by your side. I remember the first time I met Phat and Carol, back in the summer of 0something’ and it was a blah blah nostalgic story blah blah, and...
Normal stuff, just said differently.
I hate TV. Well most of the time. Actually that was a bit harsh. What I mean is, I find that a lot of it is real trash. Like actually a lot of trash. Being a dreamer myself, I hate to be saying that about what could be someone’s dream, but it’s true. A lot of it is crap. Pretty much all I watch on TV is sports, movies, Simpsons and ABC kids. Well not much ABC kids anymore, but that’s what...
