Happy Birthday Jamie!

Brother Jamie turned 25 (First of many for the month of May) today so a huge shout out to him and I hope he has a kickass day.

We went out last night to celebrate and had a great time smashing beers and carving up the dancefloor to a not so shit cover band. All adds up to a top night in my books!

Blueline Medic – 42:19 – Soft Toy

The band I think I have seen more times in one year (possible even ever) than any other and a personal favourite Blueline Medic have a new album 42:19 out April 14.

The bands MySpace (I still can’t work out why it’s so popular… welcome to the web in 1994) has a little taste in the form of Soft Toy which sounds fuckin brilliant and makes the wait seem even longer.

The boys will also be touring for the new album so make sure you get your ass down to one of their gigs.

Listen to Soft Toy here… or bluelinemedic.com

Doom!

Sweet! Doom is now available on the XBOX Live Marketplace for 800 points (AUD $13.20)! It includes Co-op and Deathmatch play which will be awesome! I remember playing this game on my very very very old 33Mhz (I think) PC many years ago and every time I shot a bullet the PC would have to work overtime.

Save Glen!

Recently on Real Stories, they aired a story about a lonely 27 year-old man called Glen Linford.

15 years ago, Glen drew a picture of a dick and balls in the wet concrete outside his house and as a punishment, his father grounded him indefinitely. Unfortunately, the following day his father fell into a coma and sadly still hasn’t woken up.

Since the incident, Glen’s mother Carol Linford has honoured Glen’s father’s wishes and is keeping Glen under lock and key until Glen’s father lifts the grounding himself. But as Glen’s father may never wake up, Glen could be grounded for life!

This is an outrage and Glen should be able to live a proper life outside his white picket fence. His Mum is wrong to do what she is doing, so by signing this petition we hope that Glen can one day be released discover the world like everyone else.

Please sign. Let’s save Glen Linford.

i heart vic mackey

i’m just going to throw a little bit of ‘man love’ out there to detective vic mackey from the shield.
drew from 60hurts (rip) had shown a bucket full of love for vic way back when and after watching the first two seasons of the shield i fully understand why.

Ode to my car

After 3 glorious years of service including a few speeding tickets, a few bingles, numerous rock outs ,more drive through takeaway visits then a starving bum could dream about and all the good times you could wish for, my trusty Kennedy is being put out to pasture or “the wrecking yards.” The time has come to face the facts, he is getting on a bit in years and he is starting to fall apart like a leper on a jumping castle. He rattles and groans and has bits falling off and hanging out, not to mention his slightly abused exterior. Fear not though there is a replacement coming, whose name is tba,so you guys won’t be without your driver, and the good news is i can strip Kennedy for all the parts i want to keep, as long as it is safe for the guy collecting him to drive him away. So peace out my t(rusty) iron steed, you have served me well, i wish i could give you the blaze of glory that you deserve but frankly i need the money.

Hey guys please feel free to add your own memories or just dumb, irresponsible stuff you remeber doing in my car.

Let Him Play!

Free Barry!

amen spider let the boy play!
and seeing that there’s an eagles player up for suspension also for the same type of charge (in demerit points and weeks of suspension) why don’t they just wipe the slate clean for both players let them play in the grand final and be done with it…?

NEWS FLASH : Barry’s back baby! He’s good to play in the grand final come Saturday! Woo Fuckin Hoo!

The Eagle Has Landed

Congrats to Ben Cousins for winning the Chas Brownlow Trophy for 2005. I’m sure it must have been a spectacular season for him, as they don’t give these medals away (ok they might have in 2003). The only experience I have with West Coast was when Collingwood (then last) managed to topple the top team! But anyway, enough talk about Collingwood’s one and only triumph of the year.
Naturally the Brownlow action was a little thin on the ground over here in sunny Utrecht, but thanks to Stu for the round-by-round updates, cheers bro.
Now, only one day in September left…..(and my birthday, so two days really)

Peace out and go Sydney!

The Writing Writer

procastination is too easy to not do it.
i’ve had so many things to do recently but have always found too little time to do them
i have no idea if the above makes sense but that is how i feel at the moment

either way i have been up to a few things in the last week or so that i haven’t really touch on so lets break it down and see what happens…

– been listening to the new 3rd album from coheed and cambria interestingly titled ‘Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness’ and it’s a pretty shit hot disc from the geekiest of bands (it’s a long story so ask me about it sometime) and if you liked their other discs than you’ll lap this one up as if it was puppy chow. if you have yet to hear coheed and cambria go give it a shot, it may be an aquired taste but definately worth it in the long run… gotta give it a big 5 outa 5

– went and saw gyroscope on satday night with hels, stu and scotty. i’ve come to expect a top notch show from these boys and am happy to saw that i left i with a smile from ear to ear. the new stuff is sounding awesome and the old stuff well… it didn’t make one of the best of albums for 2004 for nothin. shout out to the hot lies too as they were pretty good also. gyro will be playing the corner later this year for the new album so get down there.

– looks like this friday is going to be a games night at the lodge with a few of the boys wanting to play poker (i have no comprehension of the game) and xbox and what not. should be a fun night with beer and hot dogs a la lodge. will take some photos if i remember

– fathers day was on sunday, shout out to all of the dads. had mine over for a bbq and went down a treat

– i’m currently maybe possibly if all goes well but no guarentees due to banks and leaving messages for old woggy dudes in the process of buying a newer (and smaller) car. i won’t give too many details at the moment but yep it’s a ‘chick bomb’ and i’ve had farts with more horsepower but it’s all part of my grand plan… or is it?

– watched season 1 and up to date on Entourage and i’m kickin myself i didn’t get into it earlier. great show which is very well written and acted if you can look past the fast cars and women. worth the watch me thinks

– last but not least for now anyway, work is going really well. crusin though and making money is what i like doing best so i can’t complain. word on the street is that there is going to be some ‘big news’ this week but so far nothin. i’ll let ya know if anything ever comes of this rumor

anyway that’s about it for now, have a great week and i’m still fuckin around on this site trying to have it up to scratch but as i mentioned at the start i’m just not finding the time….!
whatever forever amen

way away

shout out to tre paul who as i write this is probably on a plane making his way to the other side of the world
god speed little buddy and hope to see you round these parts keepin us up to date on the many mishaps and adventures of everything tre
