Think about it

Friday Five
1. What do you most want to be remembered for?
Uhm, My sparkling personality? I dont know specifically, but I think it would be cool for people to look back and go "WOW"
Rather than you know, looking back and going, "Man, he was creepy"

2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?
Quotation ey? Im gonna steal it right out of a song and say
"Today I finally overcame, trying to fit the world inside a picture frame"

3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?
Hauling my ugly ass up to school every damn morning, attending classes and sort of suceeding

4. What about the past ten years?
Going progressively more insane is quite an achivement. But I would say the friends I've made.

5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?
"Stop it or you'll go blind"

Today we reached the lowest of the low.

Lunchtime was so boring we resulted to having mobile phone races.

Monday, May 26, 2003

Hehehe A Current Affair.
Local council tried to remove a 1.5 meter concrete sculpture of astro boy from some persons front yard. They lost! Astro boy stays! Thats the most fantastic thing I have ever heard.
Also in todays news, Eddie Mcguire tries to sue Port Power football club for having the colours Black and White in their gear. Cause apparently President Eddie and the Collingwood football club OWN the colours black and white.
Take it to court Eddie! You will lose!

(*sighs with satisfaction*)

I just almost died. My stupid car cut out while I was driving 60 on Hub drive. For those of you who know it, there is NO place to pull over. However some asshole tried to overtake me and almost forced me down an embankment into a tree. It made me mad. Its pretty scary when all the warning lights go on and you just lose power.

Gah, Stupid crappy gay car!

The Matrix Reloaded.
Ok, I think everyone has seen the film now, If there are any stragglers, Please this section may or may not contain plot spoilers.
PLOT SPOILERS! IF YOU READ BEYOND THIS POINT IT IS YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!
Ok, the movie was good. There were high points and low points, Just like any movie. I dont know if it needs a cult following, but it is good enough to see a couple of times. Effects kick ass, but we all knew that was coming.
To Start: The good the bad and the funny.
The good:
-Visual effects (duh)
-Storyline (It would be good to analyse in any TOK lesson)
-Highway Chase scene/battle. Man, that was exciting! Lawrence Fishburne hacking up a car with a samurai sword.
-The cause and effect premise, It really makes you think!

The bad:
-20 minutes worth of previews before the film, 8 minute long credits for a 30 second preview
-Long sections with no action (They may be necessary but meh)
-Watching Neo fly. It really did piss me off eventually. It slowed down and just pissed me off in general!
-The slow mo parts. Ok, Don’t get me wrong here, a few, I can handle, But going to slow mo every 2 seconds really pissed me off in some parts, most notably the agent smith brawl. But yeah.

The funny:
-Hugo Weaving. He is so straight laced and sincere, its fucking hilarious! He has some of the funniest one liners in any movie ever!
-The Twins: Funny, cause of how they look and talk. I laughed, But I think I was the only one.
- The all in Neo Vs a Million Agent Smith's battle. With a huuuuuge "STACKS ON!!!!" Moment. I laughed there as well.
-The Sleazy French dude and the chocolate cake induced orgasm. The paraphrased quote " I love the language, I love cursing (*Unleashes string of presumably dirty words in French*) its like wiping your ass on silk". Made me laugh. As for the cake orgasm, well, if you haven’t seen it, I'll leave it to your imagination.
-The fact that the architect looked like Colonel Sanders. That was funny!

Other than that, I enjoyed it all round. There was a sex scene, Neo and Trinity (Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss). It was tastefully done, in typical movie fashion. Except this one had more metal, namely the stupid gay holes that everyone has in them. I predict that that would be somewhat nasty. Sex with metal holes, I'm sure would produce some nasty cuts and grazes. The thing that disappointed me was the lack of special effects in that scene. I'm sure that if they really put their mind to it, they would be able to integrate bullet time, shot dodging (wink wink) Slow motion, and aerobatics. Now THAT would have made it impressive. I can see them running up walls and shit naked, jumping into each other. It would be pretty funny. Take notes for later kids!
Now, I’m off to do English, Physics and all the other Homework that I neglected.
Later

No song lyrics for a while, so I bring you two at once. Two GREAT songs, one of which surmises the weather, one of which surmises the way I am feeling about stuff right now. (Well really they both convey the emotion, but guess which one is the weather)

In these days with the world getting colder
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned.

Tonight we're gonna order in
Drinking wine and watching CNN
It's dark I know, but then again
It's the brightest thing I've got.

When I'm covered in the rain, rain
When I'm covered in the rain, rain, rain, rain

From fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stole what fall replaces
And there were people watching all the people
People watching us right back now.

Standing by the missing signs
At the CVS by the checkout line
She puts her crying hands in mine
Cause she's the brightest thing I've got.

When I'm covered in the rain, rain
When I'm covered in the rain, rain, rain, rain
Oh I'm covered in the rain
Oh I'm covered in the rain
Oh I'm covered in the rain
Oh no no oh no no no

And come December Lydia left
She mentions something bout it being for the best
And I can't say I disagree, it's killing me
And now I'm standing facing West
Tracing my fingers around her silhouette
I haven't gotten used to yet
But it's the brightest thing I got.

When I'm covered in the rain, yeah rain
When I'm covered in the rain, rain, rain, rain


- Covered in Rain : John Mayer

and

I'm not alone, I wish I was
Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

Dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
And all is well, I can’t complain.
It is just a game, it's just a phase.

I cant put my finger on whats keeping me down
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is at all

When autumn comes, it doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
And you never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass
around your summer heart

Can't put my finger on whats keeping me down
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is at all

I can't be sure that this state of mind
Is not of my own desire
I wish there was an over the counter test for loneliness
For loneliness, like this

Something's missing
And I don't know how I'm gonna gonna to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

Friends check, money check
Guitar check, Happy home check,
microphone check,
Messages waiting on me when I come home

And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is at all

Something's missing




The best thing about long weekends?
Lazy mondays, full of guitar, good music, good soup and hot buttered toast. Yum!

What is that? In the bushes? I think its .... HOLY FUCK! A Sniper!
Don't you just love being subtly abused from far far away with snide remarks? I think its fun!
But its ok readers, There is no truth in it.
I can handle the derogatory remarks, and I rarely sit feeling sorry for myself, If i do, its in my room, with my guitar on my lap and not in front of a computer.
But you guys who pay attention would know that already wouldn't you? No sense repeating myself for those who are trying to catch up.
Screw em.

ooooh I have updated plenty fool!
and I will only talk about the matrix when everyone has seen it out of curtosy for them :P

By the way, Friday five that I was too lazy to do yesterday.
1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
I dont really care, but most of the time I drink purified Pura Tap water, cause thats what we have. At room temperature cause cold water is bad
2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?
Meh, I like lots of flavours. Texas BBQ are pretty cool
3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
Pancakes, cause maple syrup kicks ass
4. How do you have your eggs?
Scrambled with bacon, tomato, toast and coffee
5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
Colonel Sanders, It was good.

I hate it when he does that.

from alex daw

Yes, the Matrix came out today, so we all embarked on a trip to the cinema to go see it and make good use of our day off to dodge the crowds. It worked, and for most part, went off without a hitch. Except for last minute ticket sales, and Sonya, Nic and Erin having to rush from Burnside arriving with minutes to spare. We even ran into Sam and Emma, complete with Emma's younger brother, arriving at half past 12 to line up for the 2pm screening. Needless to say they joined our session, as there were NO crowds. We had whipped cream in a can, it was tasty, but hard to eat during a movie. We also took up a whole row. That was kinda cool.
As for the movie, it was goodish.
I liked it. I laughed more than anyone else tho. Hugo Weaving is funny, He has these short little lines that just make you chuckle.
The plot also made you think. I love those movies. They are so cool. Anyone who said they didnt get it was either high or stupid.
Like dutchy. Who is both, and Dutch to boot

I think it has finally happened.
The martians have come down, and killed all the other bloggers but me. Im scared. Noone is updating. What has happened? Are you all dead? Or are you all just lazy? Im thinking the latter is probably more correct. I mean honestly kids, how hard is it to write a fricken blog entry! (Fricken cause I swear too much and I am trying to cut down)
Sigh, This means that I am the only one again. So alone, so hoplessly alone.
Just cause I dont have the ambition to finish my homework!
Just cause my ultimate aim in life is to find a job where I get paid to sit on the couch playing X-box and guitar and eating pizza.
So what if the rest of you guys have a life!

Monday, May 12, 2003

Write up today!

I Love liz! She sends me sour candy through the mail, and letters written on Armani Ad's

Thunder and lightening tonite. Lots of fun. The smell of rain is always cool. However, this freaked me out a little, as driving home from Newton in that weather is sorta nasty....
Oh well,
Sleep is good, But I have chem. and physics to do first I think, and cause I have no drive or motivation, I will probly be up till about 1am.
Sigh.
Peace out kids.

You have to appreciate the effort when someone goes to the trouble to hunt you down out of the phone book. Its easier said than done.

Friday five is here again

1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
God no, I'm always losing stuff, running late, being stressed, forgetting deadlines and leaving everything to the last minute.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
I have a diary, I dont use it tho.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
All thats on it is a computer and a pile of books, It is NOT organised
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
Doesnt matter, but books I arrange in size order, CD's in chronological order (ie: The date I bought or burnt them) and video's i just stack up any old way really, except they are arranged by star and series.
5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
My life, I still havent got that sorted

I also got kick ass matrix sunglasses today! w00t!

We have our year 12 jumpers this week, Which means all of the Year 12's have a superiority complex and are striding around like gods, hoping that the peons in younger levels will scamper out of the way as we approach. It works sometimes, but other than that they just ignore us like they normally do. Makes us feel like we are Darth Vader or some shit, and if the little bastards get in our way we can force pull them up into the air and choke them...
Kudos to Betros who was the cornerstone of the design.
Two problems, 1) It says we are Mc Seniors.
2) nowhere on the Jumper does it say that we are from Mercedes college.
Oh well, we will live.
However, I have the biggest size jumper they make and it is almost too small for me. And it will shrink after I wash it.
Conclusion?
Well, That means that I will probably be the first year 12 with a Year 12 Seniors T shirt. That might be fun.
I'll keep you updated.

You are Gambit!

You are a fierce fighter and a good friend to have.
Your preference for solitude and your
attractiveness make you very intriguing to
those you meet. Unfortunately, close
relationships are few and far between for you
because you often have trouble opening up to
others.

Nick's Theories of Evolution

We all know that the "hot" theory out now is that mankind evolved from apes. I refute this! It's absolute bullshit, and dont we all know it! What really happened, is Men evolved from Dogs and women evolved from cats. Very very simple.

First lets set the record straight. Here are some qualities of both dogs and cats.
Dogs:
Hairy,
Messy,
Smelly,
Loyal,
Energetic,
Noisy

Cats:
Clean,
Neat,
Quiet,
Aloof,

I’m sure you can see the obvious links between man and woman
For starters, when boys make mates, they make mates for life. If it ends, It ends messily. That’s loyalty for you. However, a fight between cats involves a lot of hissing, spitting, loud noise and scratching, however, both competitors walk away. As far as bathroom habits go, Dogs will piss everywhere, The rug, the walls, the floors, outside, behind a tree, they don’t care who's watching. Now we all know from experience, that the males of our species are almost EXACTLY the same. I've done it myself, just flopped it outside and taken a slash without a care in the world who is watching. Cats however have to slink off to a quiet spot, preen themselves, do their business, hide the fact that they have done their business and then preen themselves again. Almost mirror behavior. Take a group of dogs to the park, and they will all get on well, sure there will be some play fighting, they get rowdy, but everyone’s friends at the end of the day. Take a group of guys to a bar, Sure there will be payouts, jokes about mothers and sisters, friendly punching, they get rowdy but everyone’s mates at the end of the day. Groups of cats however, do not work. Someone gets their eyes clawed out. 'nuf said.
More evidence: When male fighter pilots fight in the skies, its referred to as a "Dog fight" however whenever two women do battle its called a "catfight".
Dogs will have sex with anything that moves, with little after thought to the consequences. Although guys tend to be slightly more discreet, the basic MO is still the same. Cats however are careful about who they shag and tend to be secretive about it until the last minute.
When a man does something wrong, He is sent to the doghouse, but a place where women take of their clothes and have sex for money is called a cathouse.
To call a woman a "bitch" is quite offensive, but when relating stories of sexual conquests the term "you old dog" has a definite positive connotation for males. By the same token, calling a man a "pussy" has definite negative effects.
Taken out of the above context, the word “pussy” has clear-cut female connotations, but we wont go into that.

Think about that next time someone says that mankind evolved from apes.
Point ‘em in my direction, I’ll set them right.




Time for a peace out to all my readers. It's you guys who make this little pet project of mine all worthwhile. Keep it up!

Rumour has it the only difference between SACE students and IB students is that SACE students end their sentences with "and shit"
Eg: IB Student: I'm tired
SACE Student: I'm all tired and shit.
