Pearl Jam
Last weekend Dicker and I went to see Pearl Jam play at the Sydney Football Stadium, along with 35000 other folks. We were both going to the concert straight from work, so we had each had fairly full days with our respective employers. We rode there ...
Quiet?
The place where I work (and where Dicker lives), has a reputation within the organisation as being a bit quiet. It used to be a hotbed of activity that we are paid to deal with, but these days it’s mostly rather minor stuff. This last week has ...
Storytime…
Not so long ago I was at a BBQ for someones birthday from church and was standing around chatting to a couple of guys when one of them comes out with this little gem of a story. It’s completly true and definately needs to be retold… He k...
The Melbourne Cup
I’m not so sure I get it, well I do but I just watched the race, I was a couple of minutes late and it was over within about another 4 minutes. It comes around once every 12 months, lasts for around 6 minutes and more than $140 million dollar...
Evie Blog
From Evie: I had a great day today with Grandpa. We went for walks, had apricot chicken for lunch, and I did a massive sloppy poo in the afternoon (I love dropping those ones on Grandpa!). Tonight dad tried to feed me dinner but he doesn’t rea...
Weekend Away.
Went to our church’s weekend away last weekend, good times. I enjoy hanging out with people from church outside of Sunday, for some reason it seem to be much easier to get to know people who are new and people that are not so new that you shoul...
For the Kids…
Gave Caleb his birthday present last night, added in some of the older stuff tonight and got this… ...
Confused.
So I’m losing track of time a little bit. Every time I go into work my roster seems to have changed again, and I’m working a lot of nights. That means that I lose a lot of my days, and get fairly confused as to what day it is. I’ve...
I Think I Might Be Camping…
We’re going on to the 2 week mark of not having a working hot water system, and then last night our oven decides to pack it in. So now I think we are just camping in our house. For the past 2 weeks I’ve had to drive to the amenities bloc...
A Little of My Weekend
Early, like way too early Saturday morning the little one was crying so the plan was to quickly put him back to sleep then me. But part the way through the process Nat tells me the hot water system is leaking, the worst thing about this is that our s...
Cold freckle…
Being a leisurely Sunday with no youth group on, I decided to take a newspaper with me to the can and do a bit of reading under the impression that the can might be a place conducive for that sort of thing… but it’s terrible! I don’...
Quasi twitter…
I don’t have a twitter… so here’s the next closest thing i have to a tweet: I’m a fat arse. 107kg! ...
You’re that guy…
I’m starting a new series of blogs and I’m encouraging everybody to get in on the action! It’s called (wait for it…) “You’re that guy!” That’s right campers! “You’re that guy” is about...
Computer
So my current desktop is getting rather tired. It makes a horrible loud whirring noise constantly as the fan works overtime trying to keep everything cool, and is getting slower every day (or at least that’s how it feels). I think it might be t...
Arj Barker rockin my world
I’ve got right into Arj barker ever since I saw him do this piece at the comedy gala festival in Melbourne last year. I’m still laughing! And this one from this year...
Why Bother?
Drove past a fashion shop in Earlwood the other day called “Wot’z Hot“… and I’ve gotta ask: why bother with an apostrophe when there is obviously no concern for correct spelling anywhere else in the title? Thankyou. that...
Looking Ahead
Next week I’m off to Melbourne again for 2 days next week, if it’s like the first time I won’t get a night in Sydney unfortunately. But I do plan on going to the casino again and this time and eating myself a metre long sausage...
A little drive
I just got back from driving a Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG… similar to the one pictured… about $180,000… Just a quick note to let you know… What’s that?? Yeah I am bragging…...
District 9
James and I went to the movies last night and saw District 9. It’s an Alien flick but it’s not like any alien flick you’ve seen! It really is different and also brilliant! What I particularly like was the subtle satire of all the bi...
Jeep Update
Thought it was time for another Jeep update… Things are moving along in leaps and bounds now, well it doesn’t really look like it, but the momentum has certainly picked up again after a couple of months of slowness due to financial constr...
Harry Potter Challenge
So i’ve set myself a challenge: To buy all 7 of the Harry Potter books in hard cover for under $70.00 AUD. Which basically means I have to hunt them down from second hand shops, which is good fun. I just bought the first one (the philosophers s...
Winding down time
It’s been a busy week, well, actually busy weeks. I really try hard not to be busy but sometimes it just is… This week was a no day-off week as well, so I’m a bit tired… but feeling good now. We’ve been having good frien...
Dinner
So on Tuesday night I cooked dinner, I kid you not it’s a true story!! Ok, so that’s not so unbelievable, but what is is that it wasn’t spag bol or meat and veg, but rather roasted chicken breast stuffed with Camembert cheese and p...
Blackout
This morning there was a blackout at home after a big storm in the early hours of the morning. Now I’m annoyed at the electricity company, but mainly because that got the power back on relatively quickly. It was off when I woke up, so I had a s...
Exams…
This hasn’t been a particularly good week for me in terms of exams. I had a practical assessment that went really well, until after I’d finished and realised that I’d left out one of the mandatory items. The assessor didn’t s...
Sign Me This?
I’ve noticed recently that my signature is an evolving piece of artwork, and not necessarily getting better but rather heading the other way. The more I sign the more it seems to look nothing like my name and the more simplistic it is getting. ...
Boobs.
A few people have asked me what the deal is with the ad that keeps appearing that has the lady with the boobs and words like “Build your Empire” and “Start your journey now my lord” But they obviously know, as they tell me t...
I’m on holidays!
Yeah you read it here first. I’m contemplating reading through all the Harry Potter books in the next 2 weeks…...
Sea Patrol
I was a bit wasted last night after a big day at church running a Pupil Free Fun Day for Kindies to year 6 kids… BIG day! So when I got home I just crashed on the couch and zoned out in front of the TV. For whatever reason Fi and I ended up wat...
Le Tour est au-dessus de…
It was always going to be a tough ask for Cadel Evans to make 3 minutes after the disasterous time trial early in in the tour, and now he’s 7 minutes off the pace… it’s over. It’s pretty disappointing that the Tour was pretty ...
