Gummi Bears.
Does anybody out there know what kind of strange looks you get when you buy over a Kilogram of Gummi Bears? I do now. We go on retreat tomorrow and we need gummi bears for poker chips. So I went down to foodland after school and bought some. There wasnt much there, so I practically cleaned the container out. I had to double bag it, cause lets face it, Those little gummi bears are pretty damn heavy when they get in a crowd.
So anyway, I have this heavy ass plastic bag full of gummi bears which I plonk up on the counter and fish for some money in my pocket to pay for it. So of course, the counter help chick decides to give me attitude.
”Uh, Sir, There’s over a Kilogram of Gummi Bears here, I'm fairly sure that that is a dangerous amount of gummi”
“So what, Just give me the fucking gummi and we can both go on with our lives”
“OK sir”
The bitch must have pressed some button under the counter cause two burly American guys with big cold hands grabbed me coming out of the store and took me away. I was notified that anything over a Kilogram of Gummi anything is considered a biological weapon.
Who’d have thunk it? I guess its cause the shit is so noxious that if you eat more than about 2 pieces of it kills you. That’s a problem.
Enjoy retreat Mercedes Seniors!
Everyone else, I’ll see you on Friday!
Don't eat the yellow snow

Here's a practical one for the fellas.
 You get a good kick out of porn, but you don't take it too seriously and can manage to get it off without use of any porn, if neccesary. How addicted to porn are you? |
It's the friday five, done on saturday morning cause I am slack.
1. What was the last TV show you watched?
I'm fairly sure it was last nights episode of the Simpsons. It was the one where the kids go into Shelbyville and everything is opposite! Much laughs
2. What was the last thing you complained about?
Being woken up so early, even though it is about 11 Oclock.
3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
I have no idea, Possibly Daw by telling him that he didnt piss me off. I cant remember
4. What was the last thing you threw away?
The old serial mouse that I was using in my computer. It was made in about 1985
5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
I think that it was the Valhalla Classifieds. Im selling some of my old junk.

Not happy with channel 10 right now.
Being the John Mayer fan that I am, I was understandably impressed when I saw that Channel 10 had arranged to play his "Any Given Thursday" concert on Free to air TV last night. However, I have the AGT DVD, and it runs for around 135 minutes, the programme last night ran for 60 minutes, minus ad breaks.
Which was dissapointing, cause they didnt play some of his best songs. But even more dissapointing, they cut all of the between song banter.
Also, The splicing was REALLY bad. The major splice they did, One moment, the whole band is on stage, you can see John's watch, it reads about 10:15, and you can see all the water bottles, and then, in a fraction of a second, the drummer and the backup guitarist run off stage, John empties a bottle of water over his head, drinks another one, changes guitars, puts a capo on his new one and dims the stage lights. This took place in about a second. About a minute later, you can see his watch again. It reads about 11:10, (Two songs later it winds forward to 11:55).
Sigh. If you are going to edit something, do it right!

Ok, So I kinda stole this idea from Saturday Morning Rove's "Music Microscope" but its a good idea all the same.
You take the lyrics of songs, analyse them, and come up with their true meaning.
First, I would like to confirm the suspicions of Dale and Nadine who think Avril Lavigne is a whore, and her song "Im With you" is proof.
The song goes:
I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everythings a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you I'm with you
Oh, why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
The Evidence:
Lets start at the start.
"I'm standing on a bridge I'm waiting in the dark": So its nighttime, and she is obviously standing on a bridge (Duh) presumably in the street.
"I thought that you'd be here by now" : Maybe business is normally better on this particular street corner.
"There's nothing but the rain " : Why would you stand on the street in the rain? Unless you really really needed the money.
"Isn't anyone trying to find me?" Anyone, suggesting that she really doesnt care WHO finds her
Won't somebody come take me home: Somebody, Again, Someone she doesnt know, a stranger, who she wants to take her home. For what reason Avril?
It's a damn cold night: So she has fripples.
Trying to figure out this life: Maybe she is considering a change in career. Seeing as she dont seem to be getting any customers.
Won't you take me by the hand : Lead me away master!
Take me somewhere new : Somewhere she has never been before, Strangers bedroom prehaps?
I don't know who you are : Again, She doesnt know this guy....
But I, I'm with you I'm with you: Yet, she is with him. Sound like the sort of thing normal people do? Wait in the street for strangers to take them home? I think not.
I'm looking for a place: Where are all the paying customers! Lets go find the place they are all hiding.
Searching for a face : Maybe a regular, repeat customer? easy score?
Is anybody here I know : As above
'Cause nothing's going right : Its getting late, and she still hasnt made any money
And everythings a mess: look, I dont even WANT to go into the connotations of that one.
And no one likes to be alone : Sounds like the catch cry of a hooker dont it? "Noone likes to be alone, so take me home sailor"
I'd say thats proof enough.
Note: Not all of the Ideas above can be credited to me Dale and Nadine dreamed them up many moons ago. I just concreted them.
If anyone has any other suggestions for songs for me to pick apart, Hit me on the tag board, You know where it is...

I think Betros is dead. His blog hasn't been updated in weeks.
Poor Poor Betty.
The only thing we can do at a time like this is gamble
So lets play : "WHO WANTS TO BET ON BETROS'S CAUSE OF DEATH!"
The odds on his cause of death?
Fatal Car accident 1:3
Bovine related intestinal Bleeding: 1:5
Buried Under a pile of his IB holiday homework: 1:24
Bass inflicted Anurysm : 1:4
Was turning a corner too slowly, Heard a noise from outside and ran into a pole: 1:2500000 (Don't be stupid, you cant hear anything in his car!)
Maimed in a fist fight with someone who had a better car (And therefore Bigger penis) than him : 1:10
Auto Erotic Asphyxiation: 1:5
Revenge of the Roof tile: 1:1 (Its more than likely)
Head exploded when his car got badged AGAIN: 1:2
Rest In peace.

Did anyone else watch that "Who wants to steal a million" special?
At the time it was on the news, I thought, "Man, how smart must those guys have been to outwit the Who wants to be a millionaire guys!" "Surely they have MEGA security to stop cheating!"
I just saw the actual episode. The guys were dickheads.
The only way they could have made their cheating more obvious is if they had four people in the audience with the letters painted in big black letters on their ass, and standing up and flashing the guy.
Here's a little bit of what I'm talking about.
Eddie Maguire's British counterpart: Ok, the question is, How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? A: One plank. B:Two planks, C: Three Planks, D: Four Planks.
Freaky Cheater Contestant dude: Uhm, well, I really dont know what to say here, uh, my first instinct would be to go with A: One Plank, but I'm not totally sure. Just let me think.
Eddie Maguire's British counterpart: Well, Ok, This is for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Freaky Cheater Contestant dude: Uhm, Lets think. A, One plank, B: Two planks.. C:Three....
Guy in Audience: COUGH COUGH COUGH. Ahem.
Freaky Cheater Contestant dude: ...planks, D: Four Planks.
Eddie Maguire's British counterpart: Think hard.
Freaky Cheater Contestant dude: Maybe it Is really C: Three planks.
Guy in Audience: COUGH COUGH COUGH
Freaky Cheater Contestant dude: Lock in C: Three planks.
British people. Tch

Annnnnnd a very happy Easter to everyone out there in TV land. Enjoy the chocolate, but don't eat too much at once, you are liable to feel sickly.
What have I been up to the last couple of days?
well, Thursday saw the birth of the X box convetion held at Casa de Roex. 8 men, 6 Pizza's, 2 Xboxes, It was suitably chaotic.
For visuals of the massive occurence, dont hesitate to visit. Dutchy's Blog
Friday, (Good Friday) saw more X box related mayhem, (amongst us all damming ourselves to hell by eating cold Meat lovers pizza for breakfast), in the morning. The afternoon showed lots of recuperation, and many naps after an early morning.
Saturday, I again donned the protective clothes for more exciting paint stripping at my elderly grandparents house. Then was forced to go to church in the evening. Showing up like satan’s little helper dressed in head to toe black clothing. Church ran long, and made me late for the rest of the night. Called in at Sonya’s to say hello, got my $10 from Daw. (Plus .35 cents for my trouble) then went into town with Alex and Steph. We had crazy fun. I almost nearly killed everyone and a car full of Chinese people due to poor driving. Heh, Most embarrassing. Then somehow managed to make it from Steph’s house to my house in less than 20 minutes. My driving form obviously improves the later it gets.
Now, Relly bash time!
Happy Easter everyone!

Does anyone know at what point, and with whom, Disney's Goofy had sex to produce his son Max?
I don't remember a Mrs Goofy.
I don't remember a Mrs Goofy.
Its time for the Good Friday five!
1. Who is your favorite celebrity?
I don't know. Celebrities in general sort of piss me off a little. I dont think I can say I have a favourite. Billy Connelly is a good one, Robin Williams is funny, Jerry O'Connell, also funny. John Mayer, Pretty damn talented and pretty damn funny too.
2. Who is your least favorite?
Anyone who abuses their position in society, Using their money to buy drugs, and splurge out on these massive ass houses that you really really dont need.
3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?
Uhm, lets see. I saw Greg Fleet (The Aussie comedian) eating in a cafe. A variety of home grown sports stars and footy players. Other than that, not really.
4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
I think I would for a bit but then it would get boring. Not like I would play up to it. I would stay down to earth and stuff, but I think every move being captured in the public eye would be really really stressful.
5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
I don't know. It's too hard to say. And it wouldnt work, cause I'd be me, pretending to be a celebrity, and they would be a celebrity still

Lead Paint: Delicious but Deadly
Today saw me being dragged (Literally dragged) out of my toasty warm bed at 8 am. Why? I have to go paint my grandma's house. Now when you have been up till about 4 am, It is NOT fun waking up that early. My dad, who had apparently been up since about 6, says "Get up, we're leaving". Which means I had to get dressed, skip breakfast and sit zombielike in the car. The bonus? The paint first has to be stripped! The kicker? Dad thinks its lead paint. (He told me this 30 minutes after I had started working) So I have to gear up with goggles, breathing mask, long clothes and stand in the sweltering heat with a paint scraper and a powersander stripping back layer after layer of deadly deadly paint. It was fantastic. Really.
Big X box fest at Dutchies tomorrow, There will be boys and video games and I suspect much laughing. And then more videogames.
Easter is fast approaching, that means much chocolate is on its way. This is a good thing, cause chocolate is tasty.
Daw has neglected to give me another random set of questions, for random question Tuesday. This is possibly because he now has a girlfriend and ergo, a life.
Tonite's movie on channel seven "The Jury" Is on now. I have no idea what it is about, but the promo featured an angry judge yelling "YOU KILLED JOHN MAYER IN COLD BLOOD!". I laughed and laughed and laughed.
It was understandably, very funny. Fan of the real John Mayer that I am.
I might go and get some sleep. Back to the paint stripping tomorrow.
Before I go though, here's a site that might be fun to waste some time at. I dont actually see the point or purpose of it, but its fun all the same, and who doesnt love staplers?
Seeya Round sports fans.

Tonite's movie on channel seven "The Jury" Is on now. I have no idea what it is about, but the promo featured an angry judge yelling "YOU KILLED JOHN MAYER IN COLD BLOOD!". I laughed and laughed and laughed.
It was understandably, very funny. Fan of the real John Mayer that I am.
I might go and get some sleep. Back to the paint stripping tomorrow.
Before I go though, here's a site that might be fun to waste some time at. I dont actually see the point or purpose of it, but its fun all the same, and who doesnt love staplers?
Seeya Round sports fans.

Heres a T-shirt you should NOT wear the first time you meet your girlfriends parents.
Hope you are taking notes guys.

That aint right....
You will excuse my lack of posting for the last few days. Here is a list of the things that prevented it from happening.
1) A big storm did screwy things to my internet access, and would not allow me to open any sites.
2) Blogger went down like a cheap whore on prom night and also would not open any blogs or blog editing pages.
3) My monitor almost died! She's very precious and I love her, but when I switched her on this morning, everything came up blurry. It involved emergency surgery to remove all of the dust from inside her casing, and taught me that I should open a window in here more often.
4) My keyboard, also died, which made typing blog entries incredibly difficult.
5) I have been out, which leaves little time for posting
6) The same storm blew down half of the massive tree in my front yard and i had to deal with hacking it up with an axe. It took me about an hour and a half but it helped me work off all my agression. (Despite amost evicerating myself several times)

Hmm, Blogger is still being the proverbial slut and not letting me access my web page. Which is strange, so if you can read this, you are doing well.

Research presented on the Glasshouse suggests now that lying to people will improve your brain power. Its fantastic. This means that I am in the IB purely because I can bullshit as much as possible.
"Uh, yeah, My homework didnt email to school because the (*clears throat*) hard drive crashed." cough.
I move to lie more. Im gonna need it for the exams.

Ok, I have been messing with template changes again and trying to get web commenting up and running. If things go screwy, its either me or blogger, Probably me. It will be fixed.
As far as my week has gone, I chipped my tooth on Wednesday, Had it fixed Thursday, Met the Mayor of Mitcham on Thursday, Did a whole bunch of work, and now I'm tired as hell and on holidays. So expect more frequent posts!

Friday Five Time Kiddies!
Daw says that this Friday Five blatantly copied him, and Alex Daw's random question Tuesday is leading the way. But here goes...
1. What was the first band you saw in concert?
I'm fairly sure it was 28 Days or similar
2. Who is your favorite artist/band now?
I have many. John Mayer and Dave Matthews are high on my list now.
Matchbox 20 is also pretty high up.
3. What's your favorite song?
Consult Tuesday's post, But its still John Mayer - 3x5. But Love song for no one is high up too.
4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
I play guitar, I think learning Piano would be cool though
5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?
Jimi Hendrix, Obvious reasons.

Dear Blogger,
Why do you insist on screwing up so much? Every time I try to post something, you either choose not to post it, fuck up, delete what I have written or cover the screen in funny little scribbles. Please try and lift your game, It would be so helpful.
Yours faithfully,
Nick

Daw decided he doesnt like the Friday five very much,
So, to rectify the situation, he came up with "ALEX DAW'S RANDOM QUESTION TUESDAY!"
Which is today. So I'm going to answer these questions of his, feel free to steal them and answer them on your own weblog, or in the tagboard.
1 - What's your favourite all time song and why?
I have lots of favourite songs, If I had to narrow it down though, the closest two are both equally good, but the two real stand outs are Oasis - Wonderwall, Because it's such a cool song, it makes me feel all fuzzy inside and it was the reason that I started playing guitar. And the Second is John Mayer- 3x5, Just cause it's so fantastically rocking and has some hugely great lyrics in it.
2 - If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
I would make myself less sexy. . . NO, seriously, I would make myself less sarcastic. That sarcasm gets me into trouble a lot and its not really very helpful.
3 - What/who always makes you laugh and why?
I have lots of stuff that makes me laugh. Daw for starters makes me laugh a fair bit, so does Julia, you guys rock! Nicola does to in physics.
As far as things that make me laugh go, Little people in big clothing, Oil Bras (False Advertising! ), Banana Hammocks, Words like "crunchy vagina bar" and "wheaty penis flakes". I'm basically very immature, so I still laugh at fart jokes and stuff. Its funny.
That was the first "ALEX DAW RANDOM QUESTION TUESDAY!"
Stay tuned

Reality Television.
Put your hand up if you like reality television. I dont see many hands. Whatever turns you on I guess, but I fucking hate the bullshit. The first season of Survivor was pretty cool, and they are getting progressively more boring. Survivor is the only good one though. All the rest of them shit the hell out of me.
Big Brother:
It's a group of social misfits and rejects who get together in a house and do nothing but whine the whole time they are in there. If I wanted to watch people bitch and whine, I would sit around and watch my own damn family. Look at the overseas ones, they do exciting stuff, there are people breaking out, having crazy sex, threesomes in the spa and so on. Whereas on our Big Brother the best we got was the mysterious "dancing doona" which was probably someone scratching their leg or something. The thing that shits me most about the damn Big Brother, is they swamp us with it! We have the actual show at 7:00 every day, The hour long voting off thingo on Sunday night, the supposed "Big Brother Uncut" which is really gay and goes for two or so hours on Wednesday, then we have radio updates, random bits of crap that they just show every night and so much crap that after about three days you want to reach into the television, grab Gretel Kileen around the throat and twist it off so it shoots off like a champagne cork.
Australian Survivor:
Nuf said. It was a shit show from day one, It only lasted a season. They tried to copycat the American version and didnt have Jeff Probst as a host. Therefore the gay show fell apart. It was horrible, Let us never speak of it again.
Shipwrecked:
Man this was a shite show. For those who don't remember it was the whiney Brits on an island with all the modern convieniences, such as massive supplies of food, money to buy more food and boats and shit. Therefore, most of the show was people sitting around and whinging about the other people and how it was too hot, too cold, or they ate all their damn food and didnt have any left so they had to actually get off their fat asses and find something to eat. This resulted in someone stealing a box of biscuits from the crew camp. They argued. The show fell apart. What would have been fun would have been to wait until their food ran out and they were all bitchy, then drop a crate full of machetes onto the island. THAT would have been prime time viewing.
Joe Millionaire:
hehehe, Hey, I have an idea, lets get this hobo off the street, dress him up nice, tell everyone he has 50 million dollars and then put him in a house with all these chicks and make him chose one! It was a gay gay show. The way to jazz it up would be to have FIVE Joe millionaires, make them all choose a chick, force them to get married on national television and then reveal that one of them is a bum, three of them are convicted rapists or creepy sex offenders and only one of them has money. THEN lock them in a hotel room overnight. I bet then you will see if love can truly survive.
I don't know about you, I watch TV to ESCAPE reality. I don't want to sit down and watch people who are more irritating than my own family. If I wanted to watch reality, I would sit my ass on the TV and watch my family.
Grrrr.

Ok, Blogger has been somewhat screwy this weekend, Not posting, not loading, being homosexual in general.
Here's a quick run down of my weekend.
Slept late Saturday, Did homework, Played guitar.
Slept late Sunday, Went swimming, Did homework, Went to a relly bash, Played guitar.
As of this weekend however, I am officially ungrounded and allowed to go out again. Yay! Should be good.
One week to go until school is over, I just hope that I am going to last.
My final point is that the "silent" setting on your phone is not silent. Especially late at night, when its on a wooden desk.
It is SO loud. Making that nasty buzzing noise.
I'll be back soon.

Here's what I was going to do. I was going to take Psychology after school, but my mother talked me out of that. So I decided on medicine. But now she is talking me out of that too. So, Put a tag on the tag board if you can think of a good occupation for me, and I will consider it. Go, Now. Seeing as apparently everyone but me knows how best to run my life.
GO!
GO!
