Well... we survived yet another Big Day Out... for me, it was my third but it was Chrissy's first. It was a stinking hot summer day as usual for the Gold Coast event... i think it was around 36 or more degrees for pretty much the whole day but damn if the sun wasn't a killer... We managed to get around to see/hear a pretty good range of bands even ( Read more... )

Went to my first on-day international cricket game yesterday... and i was looking forward to it big time but in the end it was a bit of a disappointment really... i won't bore you with it since you're mostly American and cricket will mean less than nothing to you... but suffice to say that the weather has a habit of pissing all over your plans...

Last weekend a friend of a friend was killed... he was with a group of friends celebrating the wake of another friend who had died of cancer earlier in the week, when they left the pub they all stood and waited in line for a cab. He noticed that another group of people had exited the club nearer the front of the queue for a cab and jumped straight ( Read more... )

As an appendix to my earlier "people make me sick" entry i'd like to add this. This will invariably offend people whom i know to read my journal. You guys know who you are and therefore should know that i do not mean any offence by what is said in this entry. My philosophy towards religion is not like yours nor do i expect it to be... you have your ( Read more... )

People disgust me... I know that isn't the best way to start an entry on christmas eve so i'm sorry... but they really do. People are just rude, obnoxious, self important pigs. And this season is just an excuse for more over the top, rampant, self indulgent consumerism and to tell the truth it sickens me. Geez... can you tell that i had a great day ( Read more... )

I responded to friends invitation to a few interview questions the other day ( Read more... )

Back again after an awesome few days on the beach. Friends of my parents have a house about 100 yards from the beach and they offered them the use of the house for a week. Like any good parents, they invited their favourite son (their only son... heh) down for the weekend along with his wonderful girlfriend. Left on monday morning and stayed until ( Read more... )

this entry is going to be about a "friend" of mine who has since become less of a friend over time... ordinarily i still might be concerned about offending this person but at the moment i don't really care about that... this is for a few reasons... first of which is that since they evidently don't seem to care i've come to the conclusion that i ( Read more... )

This is for all you americans out there... i know that there's a whole bunch of you and that a few of you are friends who will no doubt read this entry at some point... this is bound to offend a shitload of people but to be honest i really don't care... if you're one of those people who can't take a joke and can't seem to be able to take the piss ( Read more... )

Just handed in my last piece of assessment for this semester and to be honest that felt pretty damn good. I'm well past the point where i give a shit what grades i get for this course... the structure... the material... the teaching staff... the assessment criteria... they've all just conspired to leave me feeling so very very... over it all.
