I've so bloody had it with my family.
Isn't the family supposed to be there to support you?
I love my best friends, and all the help that they've given me in the past months,
But fuckin hell.
Family is supposed to be the BASIS of all your support.
I say, fuck not drinking spirits atm, cos I'm bloody tilting back a bottle.

Fucking hell.
*sobs*
I've had enough of all the arguements I've had with my parents.
I want to just get enough money, and MOVE OUT
and my bloody brother hates me.
Why does he hate me?
Probably because I did some one-time jerk thing a few years back,
Because I have fucking TRIED MY HEART OUT to show him how much he means to me
His autism DOES NOT help the cause.
Goodness sakes, it'll probably be in about 14 years, before he ever forgives whatever I did to him.
*sighs*
That's all the bitching I'm going to do for now.
Thank goodness nobody ever reads this blog anymore.
I think i'm going to regret drinking this much wine later
seeyou kids later,

bah stupid boring hot weather

You Are The Hanging Man

You represent the seeking of enlightenment and spiritual clarity.

You tend to confuse others, but your oddities seem deeply satisfying.

Self sacrifice is easy for you, especially if it makes you a better person in the end.

You are the type of person who is very in touch with your soul and inner spirit.

Your fortune:

Right now is a good time for reflection and meditation.

You should stop resisting the problems in your life, and let yourself be vulnerable to them.

You may need to sacrifice something important to you to move ahead in your life.

Accept your destiny with courage, and learn to let go of what you think you need.

What Tarot Card Are You?

Your Taste in Music:

90's Alternative: Highest Influence

80's Alternative: High Influence

Classic Rock: High Influence

Hair Bands: High Influence

Heavy Metal: High Influence

How's Your Taste in Music?

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

How Do People See You?

Stay with me a while,
Rise above the vile.
Name my final rest,
Poured into my chest.

Into the orchard i walk peering way past the gate.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead.
Halo of death, all i see is departure.
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr.

Pledge yourself to me ,
Never leave me be,
Sweat breaks on my brow,
Given time ends now.

Into the orchard i walk peering way past the gate.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead.
Halo of death, all i see is departure.
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr.

Spirit painted sin,
Embers neath my skin,
Veiled in pale embrace,
Reached and touched my face.

Into the orchard i walk peering way past the gate.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead.
Halo of death, all i see is departure.
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr.

*Gotta love those sweet Opethian lyrics lol,

Personally
I don't really believe in religion.
However I do promote the morals and ethics of good people, that can (sometimes. sometimes not) light a candle of hope and happiness in the darkest pits of some minds.
So do I believe in religion then? I hope I only believe in people.
I say that I'm agnostic when it comes to religion- ie, I don't believe in things can cannot be proven to me, though I would believe anything that could be proven.
For example:
I don't think I will ever believe that a "God" created the universe and all that mystical jazz
But that's because nobody would be able to prove it to me.
On the other hand, I admit that there is a great possibility that a person (who may have, and may not have gone under the name of 'Jesus') did exist, and was one of the swellest guys you could ever meet.
lol however being being bitter in some ways, I will not ever be able to believe that people ever have the "power" to heal those in pain in suffering without any form of medical help.
*shrugs*
It's a ever-raging debate within my world.
Sometimes, I wish to just say I'm an aethist and be done with it.
However, that is taking the easy way out (and the often used way out, so I ain't goin' where the crowd is) and I'd like to be able to believe in something such as a "God" one day. Perhaps. We'll see.
After all, any person who believes in a singular "God" chooses to refuse the possible existence of other deities, and so isn't that being an aethist who believes in one more than any other?
lol
pwned.
But I find aethism an extremely stupid point of view.
By stubbornly persistant in blatent ignorance of any evidence that might suggest the exist of "God" etc, they defy one of the basic laws that humanity had to follow in order to survive.
Change. Adapt. Or die.
If one doesn't allow the possiblity of change, of adapting, than they row a boat to their own doom.
By experimenting and by investigating all possibilitys of divine existance before throwing it all and becoming stagant in their beliefs, one can perhaps choose a wiser path in the long run.

But for now,
I choose to remain ambiguous.
I am a baptised Christian.
That does not mean I follow their beliefs.
I think that in the end I will become a more aethist- for I have seen too many good people suffer in front of my eyes- too many pure souls with love for everything in the world- to die in agony.
My grandmother didn't deserve that fate.
And another argument I throw to the winds before going to listen/play music,
If such a God exists in Christian culture, who preaches forgiveness
why are we still banished from 'Paradise' ? A few thousand years should be ample time to ignore the acts of only two individuals. Not forgiving potentially millions of innocent people who bear almost no heritage to their 'Forefather/mother' is against the teachings of "God"
And thus by his own arguments (in this aspect) terminates the possibility of his existance.
I'd like it if you could comment your own beliefs,
But you're all a bunch of jerks for never commenting :P lol jk

Anyway,
That's me in religious debate mode,
Talk to me if you want more (though catch me after caffeine heh)

Bisou,

lol I have too much of a headache to write a deep one for at least a few hours sooo....

There is something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow

I've been there before
Somethin is changin' inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sign
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye

Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry-y-y-yyy
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight......

*note: sad as hell song, and if you're in no good mood, the solo/final chorus WILL make you cry. heh, at least it sorta did for me, so that's sayin' something kiddos*

Hey

2006-12-09T01:51:00.000+09:00

What's up guys.
Well.
The year's drawing to the close, and it's 1:50 in the morning, and I'm *incredibly* bored, so I think I'll do a recap on the entire year and on how I've changed.
Where do I start?
First of all,
Music is fucking awesome. It deserves the language, because it's so cool.
lol
:P
Anyway,
I got a job this year
Which has taught me to never get involved involved in a supermarket job EVER again lololololol
Damn those exploiting bastards lol
I've gained friends, or increased relationships.
I'd like to make a special thanks here to dear ol' Emma (Wansborough) and Leece, for helping me make it through the past few months. If it wasn't for them, I don't know what I'd of done during my baad periods.
However, I've also lost complete trust in a couple of what I thought were close friends. Which helped send me into a pretty deep depression somewhere during the middle of the year. So it's made me be even more careful about who I put my trust in. Trust too much kids, and you're gonna get scarred :P Trust me lololol!
I've met a couple of new groups of people. The girl group, which I was the pimping guy within ^^

And of course, the awesome awesomeness of Shelly's/Leece's/Kayti's group. With all of their Ben-ness/Tom-ness/Lucas-ness/Brett-ness (which are the guys I've met so-far, undoubtably their all just as cool lol). Lol Hail to the quote "Press Alt+F4. It would rule my balls if you did" lol. I don't think I'll get that particular comment out of my head for a while.
Yes, those metalheads are awesome.
Bought my electric guitar, and gained a hell of a lot of skill with it. Of course there were a couple of embarrassing occassions where some other people wanted me to play guitar for them, so of course I noticed how bad I was compared to the other brilliant guitarists around me. hehe. I've gotten better since then. Got a few songs down-pat, and this awesome teacher dude "Pete" (who is an unknown god among men, music-wise) has been teachin' me for about a month and a half now.
lol, of course it could be the ego, hidden from my own view telling me this!! Hahaha :P I'll have no idea, till the next time somebody asks me to play guitar for them.
My family sucks f-ing balls. They were another reason for my depressed-ness. Damnit. I got thrown out of the house a couple of times. Stayed at another dude's house/my grandmother's/random jam in Yanchep on seperate occasions. Fights with parents/brother are muchly common noise around this neighborhood, though thankfully (for my sake) this French person staying with us has lessened that a little.
Can't wait to move out.
Looking for people to share a small apartment/flat with, doesn't matter about gender. Just as long as I can cope being with you for more than a few hours each day!!!! lololol
Haha, love life? I got over *another* lost cause. :P I am the reason "hopeless romantic exists in this world, though for different reasons as to it's definition! lol.
I'm not really that sussed any more.
Have I found someone else that's captured my heart? Well, I thought I did earlier in the year, but it was just to be friends in the end. Probably a good thing! Or so I thought....*sighs* another story Mr/Ms Nosey. Not for you.
As I said before. Has someone else entrapped my mind? Mebbe. You could always guess/be cool and already know, but I doubt it. Cos most of you randoms out there arent' that cool. At least compared to me. But that's a bit unfair, cos nobody's that cool compared to me.....
...
Shutup :P
But that ain't yer buisiness sticky-beak. haha
Ooh, 2:09 now. I'm not even tired.
How gay :P
*uber physics/Tom+Leece -groan*
lol
Well there's not that much to say. The end of school wasn't that exciting (as I doubted it would be), and the past few weeks have been guitaring (which is good) working (which is not good) and a couple of instances where I actually got to socialise lol.
Hopefully with my uber organising skills *insert laughing here for 10 minutes* ok. Maybe I can organise some stuff to happen. Can't wait to see the whole metalhead gang again. Gay blogger.com, with it's gay photo uploadingness. In fact I hate dialup.
Gr.
Well
I've changed as a person, I'd say.
Hopefully, I'm a lot more easy-going, and easier to get to know as I once used to not be- but I certainly have caught a very bad grudge. lol, don't lie about serious things to me/hurt friends that trust you, that's all I'm gonna say :P lololol
Anyways, I think I'll go and play some mindless internet games to keep me entertained until 5:00, then I'll catch some shuteye. Mebbe. I could always find some coffee. yeah, that sounds more inviting.
I shall leave you with some random photo that some hobo took of me (it may have been Josh/one of my other guy friends, cos I don't look ridiculously happy and I'm holding my guitar. lol.
Anyways,
I'll see you lot around,
Oh and btw, I'm ashamed to admit I've been spending time on MySpace. Yes. Shoot me now. DO YOU SEE THE EXTENT, TO WHICH I'M SO F-ING BORED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!.....
.....
.....
ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH
*sighs*

lolol, if you're in the least bit interested (which frankly I don't give a damn whether you are or not) you can. Ooh. Yeah, it's www.myspace.com/councillorjoe but chances are, even if you do know me, I won't add you- beacuse I'm currently on a vendetta against people I don't trust intimately lol. 'Gay' you might say, but MEH. It's something to do. Especially if you're up as hardcore as me, at 2:40 in the morning.
Haha.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What a joke

2006-11-22T21:33:00.000+08:00

"Garlic bread??
What a joke!"
lol, good day that one.
I am bor-ed.
So I have remembered that I actually had this blog, and thus I shall write in it once more!
MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Work was as usual today- crap
Bloody f-ing customers
don't know when to give up.
Why do they need to buy stuff from the shopping centre anyway?
Oh? To purchase foodstuffs so that they might survive in a cruel, cold and possibly harsh world?
Guess what kiddys!
I don't give a damn! Grrrr...Why can't they live on nature, trees and leaves and stuff.
I'm sure that they'd survive...for a while....in a subjective sense of speaking...compared to the lifespan of a fly...
...
I don't want your lies.
Anyways
I've continued on with the guitaring-ness, and it's progressing quite well.
lol, at least I hope so :P Not as if I have an unbiased opinion around here that can tell me lol ^^
I dunno. I need more work on alternate picking. Mine's still pretty slow, and I can't exactly burn the fretboard with my fingerworks either :P But I ain't playing Mary Had a Little Lamb (Her Fleece Was White As Snow?). More like heavy metal and/or Santana stuff. Scarborough Fair is by far my favourite practice piece so far :P gotta love it.
Aaanyway.
School's over *huzzah* but it ain't thaat exciting :P Just means more work for poor ol' Joe.
What? No. Not me. The other one.
I don't mind work. At least the getting paid part. It's all the other stuff that really irks me (like the working part of it...)
I'm thinking of changing jobs. Maybe I should change jobs with Leece, so at least we still have some way of communicating to one-another. lol
Have you ever noticed how each MSN conversation has a lifespan? It's almost plottable. There's a gradual trend in the overall conversation that dwindles to a "Sooo" and "yeah" followed by some quickly written "I've got to go" which is in fact, almost always a lie. Damn bastards. They don't HAVE to go. They go because they chose that is the time that is most uncomfortable for them.
One thing that reaally p-s me off about MSN conversation is this sort of an opening:
"How r u?"
...
o_O
omygosh
Hm
I'll continue this good start to a rant later, because I don't have to go, but other things are calling
Next time, kiddos,

Heeeeyoo, listen what I got to saaayoooo-oooo...lol

2006-10-21T20:21:00.000+08:00

How are you? Really!? You are?!?!?! That's amazing!

lol
:P, I'm very tired, hence my lack of sanity at the moment.
Work was crap. As usual.
God-damned Italians. Why can't they keep their old people locked-up in mental institutions WHERE THEY BELONG *pants a bit*
..
Pardon me.
Anyway, forgotten what I was going to talk about + am busy

How are you guys. Long time no blog.
Eh. Don't particularly care. I need to learn how to spell >.<>quite awful. But meh again.
Here is a "Highway of My Life" thing, that is actually scarily accurate o_O
And two random quotes from the bizzilion million gazillion things that I think about almost every second, and from that particular second.
aaanyway

Joe Highway

Fame City - 5 miles

Contentment Meadows- 16 miles

Loony-Bin Lane- 51 miles

Tower of Commitment- 142 miles

Study Hall- 519 miles (<- I feel that this is particularly accurate, even though my TEE exams start week after next *lolololol*)

And a) She's preeetty cute.
b) I hate stupid security systems

Hope you hate Yr 12 TEE exams as much as I do!

SUBJECT UPDATE!!
dadahadhad- daDAHDAHDAH!! *some unidentifiable genre of music- we shall call it 'Joe music' for now*
Physics- DAMN THAT STUPID F-ING EXAM!! HOW DARE IT CLING TO MY METAPHORICAL LEGS AND DRAG ME DOWN INTO THE DIRTY MIRE!!.....
Ahem. What I'm trying to say is that (all because of the damned exam) I'm now only sitting on an f-ing 78%. Grr. Stupid people beating me...WE'LL SHOW THEM! Right after I help Leece bring her mark up to a 65%. That's going to take until at the very least the end of mocks/the TEE, but it'll be worth it methinks. And it's quite possible.

Chemistry- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...I hate sitting next to god-damned smart people. In fact, I hate sitting next to Adam and Anthony. Mainly Adam. Well, a good portion of Anthony as well. And in fact the whole class generally pisses me off (except for like two or three of the girls, who have the decency to be sympathetic with my 'bad' marks).
In fact, I'm not actually failing, just getting an average 63%. Which is ok, seeing as I was aiming for a 65%. BUT EVERYONE ELSE IN MY CLASS ARE NERDS and are getting 80s as their 'awfully horrible marks'. *grumbles* And Mr Mitten pisses me off as well, because he praises these people and sorta laughes at the people getting 60s (ie, me).

Applicable Mathamatics- *sighs* Wish I could pick-up my marks in this subject as well. I'm only getting another f-ing 68-73%, which means (in our school) I'm sitting on a C. The B cutoff is an 80. A is 86. Good luck getting an A Joe!!! lolololol *cries*

French- I'd like to earn a few more percent in here. Mostly so I could beat Emma ^^ :D ;). I'm doing wellish in here, sitting on about a 68%, which would mean come the TEE I'd be getting scaled-up. ^^ Go French.

English- ......................................................................................................................................
.................................................
..................................................
..........................................
56%.........................................
......at least Alicia is helping me now. A couple of other people offered to help earlier in the year, but they never actually did anything about those offers. But that's just me being pessimistic and depressed lololol. Leece told me this awesome piece of advice on Friday, and I reckon if I used it I could possibly *possibly* bring my mark up so I have a hope of getting a scaled 50% in English.
.................
That is all I have to say about this damned subject, except "muahahahha *evilly*" at Josh, because of his teasings at me, and that Emma is Ms Andrade. We all know it. And Michael Bublé haha

Music- An 'A'. Possibly a 'B' after my last project, and even more likely a 'ND' after this new teacher comes. Can't be f-ed trying any harder, because I'd just snap and do something irrational if I did lololol very stressed :P

Aaaanways,
That's all I have to say for now
Seeya guys/gals round

Opeth- Also too cool for words

2006-08-14T19:06:00.000+08:00

These guys are awesome,
although embarrassingly they do growl quite a bit throughout their repetoire, but I s'pose that one can expand.
I still f-ing hate screamoes.
But the thing that really stokes me about these guys is their light stuff.
It's soo
*sighs wistfully*
See? That's how awesome songs like 'Patterns in the Ivy' and 'Hours of Wealth' are.
Also
'Hours of Wealth' is the first song (aside from those beginner licks which everybody knows (eg: Smoke on the Water *lololololol- never play this song in a guitar shop, unless you hate your life **, Smells Like Teen Spirit etc etc)
that I've completely learned.
Now this might not seem like much of a feat,
but I've learnt the solo as well (and composed some improvisational extras).
*nods*
So that's one of the reasons I like it so much.
Here's a couple of photos to get you knowing the type of artwork they have (beautiful in it's simplicity, unlike pretty much all the other bands I know and listen to):
Seeya 'round folks!
*note: Opeth can be a bit depressing at times to listen to, but now that I have some DragonForce stuff, I think I have a perfect counter-depressant ;). We'll see how my mood improves/not over the next week or so*

F-ING HELL!!!

2006-08-14T18:51:00.000+08:00

Jesus f-ing christ!!
No.
Jesus is too uncool to be included in this statement. Only the Jee-Man is worthy. But he is not here at the time.
Dragonforce...
omfg
I want Herman Li's babies.
First of all.
He's f-ing AMAZING on the guitar.
You'd expect that of anyone who Kirk Hammett applaudes.
Secondly
LOOK AT HIS F-ING AWESOME HAIR!
He's the MAN.
Here's a couple of his awesome photos to give you an idea of how completely and utterly cool his hair is (respect and adoration is thick in these praises of hairyness):

F-ING HELL.
Ok dudes.
For a moment I shall calm myself.
...
Through the Fire and Flames...
Over 75,000 f-ing notes, in 7:12...
o_O!!!
And it sounds f-ing beautiful.
And they sing! THEY SING!
None of this screaming or growling crap that trashes bands nowadays.
And finally ,
Last but not least,
Their 'Inhuman Rampage' album is not only crammed with awesome songs, but they're emotionally uplifting!!
Like, I felt like utter shit earlier this afternoon, and then I started listening to their songs, and I'm actually alright!
For now at least.
But nonetheless.
It's been cheering me up more than a few people have been getting me down.
Who?
Go and molest yourself, ya nosy bastard. Unless you're a woman, whereaupon unless you're Cinz, Emma W., or Leece, I don't feel like talking about it thankyou very much.
But yes.
These guys are seriously awesome. Some (although, note I say some of the best music I've heard in a while. Kirk still is too cool for most of these guys. Except for Herman Li. He probably rivals if not bests Kirk Hammett in all of his coolness. And he has longer hair. *nods*).
Anyways,
That's all I have to say to you guys until the next post, which is also about a band that I've recently started listening to and enjoying.

Early Life
As a child, Kirk Hammet was very unruly, and refused to listen to his parents. At the age of 9 months, he had already received several beatings, as he insisted on beating the other children over the head with his guitar. At the age of 2, he had already mastered the guitar, and moved on to drums, which he found far more difficult, as he couldn't reach the bass pedal. After several failed attempts, he decided that he'd work on the bass guitar first, which he excelled at. At the age of 5, he had grown quite a bit (he was already 4'7”), so he decided to try the drums again, and, this time, he succeeded. At the age of 10, he recorded his first solo album, in which he played all the instruments, all at the same time. It was never released in stores, however, because the producers thought it was far too badass to release to the public, and kept it for themselves.

(Uncyclopedia.com- Too true.
It also says something about Jimmy Page, which is only a tiny bit correct about his awesomeness:
Jimmy Page can play the guitar with either of his hands- while peeling an orange in his pocket
*nods*
He is the man/God.)
Anyways,
BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................

Feelin' like crap

2006-08-03T19:00:00.000+08:00

Don't care if I get in trouble for saying 'crap'.
Really in a shit mood at the moment...
They're still not talking to me, and now I'm not only getting even more depressed, but angry as well...and I feel really about that, 'cause there could a perfectly good explanation as to why she isn't talking to me or anything...
*sighs*
I also suppose that listening and learning to play 'Hours Of Wealth' by Opeth isn't exactly improving my mood haha.
For the past 4 or so weeks its been really intense....and I don't know..just feeling crapper and crapper as the weeks fly-by...
Seriously
In English today (an essay was being written), halfway through the test I just started to stare sort of blankly at the page and wonder, "What's the f-ing point to writing this? We're all going to die in the end, and what's a few extra years of luxury going to do to prevent that?"
Plus to increase the worsening mood, she came and sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME and didn't even bother trying to start a conversation....
....
Anyway,
I'm going to...I dunno..*sighs some more*..play darts? I don't feel like studying for any tests that I might be having soon..
lol, I don't even know what tests I DO have coming up lolol.
Meh.
I'll just download tabs.
'ts what I normally do when conversations sorta stutter and die on MSN lol

THEY BLED THE OTHER DAY! After sliding up the fretboard on the E and B strings (well, Eb and Bb, cause they were tuned-down a step).
The only things I haven't perfected are
The interlude (learnt)
Interlude solo (learnt)
Kirk's solo (haven't even gazed upon his beautiful creation!! lol)
Oh well"studying"!!! ie, playing guitar for the next hours till I fall asleep lololol

Or good evening.
I thought it was morning until about 5 seconds ago, when I looked outside and saw it was getting darker
Not brighter.
Hm.
Talk about a bloody sleep-in eh? lolol,
And here's another thing to talk about! After a (very) long silence on the blog,
It's coming back to buisiness.
Admittedly, it WILL be a bit slow and chuggy, but once it gets some momentum going it should be fine.
So what's happen-ed in the last couple of months you might ask?
Well, I think you all ought to know I'm "feeling very depressed" (lol, Marvin- Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, he's such a champ).
:P
Yeah, Sydney Tour's been and gone....
*sighs* Not as good as I hoped, for a multitude of reasons....
Well...a couple...
....ok, mainly one, but I ain't tellin' ANY of you guys who don't already know (I think that I'd better say gals, and there's only two of 'em).
Yeaaah, pretty crap I'd have to say.
But Jesus Christ Monday was an f-ing blast.
We played in the bloody Sydney Opera House!!!
!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pretty damn stoked about it. Seriously, sitting up there on the stage, gazing out across the Concert Hall upon hundreds of empty seats
The ceiling spanning up above us with speakers covering the roof *savours memory for a moment*
Ahh, good stuff.
Then the party was awesome, with Mark, Dave, Courtney and I getting some serious head-banging done (god-damnit having long hair is so awesome). On that note, I am not EVER head-banging AGAIN.
Bloody hell, my neck felt as if someone had hit me with a plank of wood for DAYS...WEEKS!!! lololol, but that was fun, nonetheless.
And I tried (keyword tried) to chat-up a girl for a bit of fun/bet with a couple of guys that I could last a couple of minutes
*shakes head with memory*
If I remember rightly, during the, oh, 45 seconds I lasted
I believe the dude giving me the evils behind her was her boyfriend.
In hindsight, I think that I'm lucky to still be playing music lololol
:P, just goes to show how utterly awful I am at talking with women (the fascinating creatures they are *awaits lethal weapons thrown by women offended at this topic*)
lol
Oh!!!
Dudes!! Or girls!! Day after tomorrow, and I'm picking-up my bea-utiful precious little darling
GUITAR!!
Ohhh, I'm soo stoked.
It's so sleek, black and sexy.
*sighs wistfully*
And then my next target on the (very very distant) horizen is one of those flash Mega Boosie amps priced at about 4K.
:P
But yes. I haven't been able to take a picture of it yet, but I've managed to find one to show you guys what it generally looks like:
(XL Ltd f-50 Forrest Black Guitar, note: if you haven't already guessed from the guitar's name, it's actually black, but I'm sure you could use you're imagination to some extent eh?)

Aaaanyways guys,
I'm trying to avoid talking to somebody (for the moment at least),
So I'll catch y'all later!
BYES! o_O!??!!??!?!?!?

I'm reporting in....

2006-06-09T10:28:00.000+08:00

From the heart of enemy territory my dear readers...
SCHOOL ITSELF!! *appropriate scary music insert here*
I've only just avoided capture from the evil daemon bunny rabbits*teachers*, and am now currently hiding in a ditch (ie, am writing this post halfway through class)
So what should I talk about?
Hmm...
Menopause?
Pretty sure that men don't have a menopause
Although I may have a pre-menopause, but that's just symptoms-wise...:P
omygosh Life Tech is sooooooooooooooooooooo boring!!
I'd rather be chased by a psychotically depressed robot of some sort (with spikey bits) than sit here listening to absolute merde about your "well-being" and "life balance" >.<

You guys know what really bugs me?
When people use these little abbreiviations such as "lol" and "rofl" when they don't actually laugh out-loud or roll on the floor!
It's the same as lying!
Grr.
...
Oooh pretty pictures on the opposite screen.
...
ARGH!
I must go back into hell my friends, as the bunny rabbits have spotted me and they now come hefting really threatening looking weapons (or the teacher is staring at me, wondering why my screen's different to everyone else's)
Grenade!!!
*dives out of ditch*

Signing off,

I am bor-ed!!

2006-06-05T15:39:00.000+08:00

Huzzah!
Or not..
Anyways, yes.
Ho guys.
Long time, no post.
In fact it's also been long time, no comments as well...*mutters*
But I return, so that all you faithful readers have something to do in their spare time.
And so I have something to do, which up until this time of the day, I have not had.
But that is now over, for I am typing these words as we speak!
..
Which is admittedly obvious, but anyways.
Yes.
Lot's of stuff happening recently.
Well, not much stuff, but it's been pretty packed when stuff HAS been happening.
I'll try not to ramble any more *scolds self*
Yes. Exams have been eating-up most of my avaliable time for the past week and a bit, and they will be until tomorrow afternoon at 3:40pm, after my French exam
Which I'm going to fail
Horribly
Because I haven't done (nor will I do (nor will any of the girls do...)) any study.
And I abso-lutely SUCK at the listening comprehension.
I can sorta pick out the odd word, and then I just make up some merde based on that.
Of course,
I'm only right about 58% of the time, as my mark in that section shows!!
lolol
And today is a public holiday
Which has been spent looking at a blank wall for about half the day,
And then I've spent the past *thinks* I dunno, hour and a half sorta chattin' with a friend on MSN.
The weekend was interesting.
Had a fight with mother again *rolls eyes "Why don't they just stop??"*, so I had to get out of the house for ("What did I say?") 15 minutes I believe.
Of course,
I turned up to a party that I wasn't invited to *hmph* to spend the time that way anyway.
It didn't matter that much,
Because they were all off their faces so much to notice/remember I HADN'T been invited.
Grrr. Some of those guys are seriously pissing me off.
Perhaps the upcoming yoga classes in Life Tech will do some good for me!! lol
Actually, I'm thinking now that I have a pretty steady income that I can sign-up for a few sessions at the gym, so if a couple of you guys wanna come too then you're welcome. *shrugs*
Need to build up these muscles here *gestures at arm* You know. Umm. Well, I'm not a fuming testosterone-addicted dude, so I have an excuse for not knowing what most of the muscles are called :P
All I know is "Biceps" "abs" and "brain". And in my opinion, the brain is the most important muscle out of all of 'em, so it makes sense that I'd rather exercise that then any other muscle lolol
Anyways
So far,
My exams have gone alright. Note: that I don't include English in this statement. Take that as a given.
Except for Applic..
*shudders*
I screwed that up bad....*sighs* looks like I'll be sitting on a 72ish% mark until the TEE exams! lol
Which is pretty bad
As apparantly, according to some of the teachers that I've conversed with, Applicable maths this year (across the state) is a lot stronger than previous years.
Not just in our school.
By the school marks, my 72% is being scaled-down to a 60%! How bad is that eh?

Few things have been happening socially, so I've been left to feel sorry for myself *scolds again* and ponder over things, and basically be as bored as is humanly possible lolol
I've read two and a half books so far today alone!
:P
Anyways,
I've forgotten what I was going to talk about today,
So I'll bid y'all my farewell, and seeya later

Signing off,

In the wise words of Cathi....

2006-05-30T12:43:00.000+08:00

"I hell machéted that exam!!"
lol, crazy girl that one....
But I don't know whether I did very well....:S
Hmm
Yes dear readers.
I am currently undergoing the most arduos experiences of torture that a Yr 12 can undergo!
The first semester exams.
I've been complaining and complaining about them, but unfortunatly, my plans did not come to fruition (ie, the exams did NOT evaporate into an insubstantial amount of gas *sighs wistfully*
Yes.
So far,
I've done three....
*groans*
God-damn English!!! Grrrr.
To tell you guys the truth, I think that I might have done quite well in the Print and Non-Print sections of the paper (although the first question in the comprehension WAS quiiiiite dodgey (Compare and contrast the ideas of justice in two passages or some merde like that))
But of course,
Having a negative outlook (so I don't get dissapointed when I realise my results)
That's what I thought in the Sem 1 exams LAST year.
And I got an average of 45% for that paper.
So yeahh....
Hmmm
>.<, not exactly the best way to stay cheerful lolol.
But then I had lunch with the french girls! lol.
And we played Hangman/woman/transvestite/thing/creature/Nobby!!! lolololol,
ahhhh
So funny.
Of course, then I actually had to sit the French Oral examination a short time afterwards....
*sighs*
I don't know about that one either.
You see, I yabbered-on about music this, and music that for a good 5 minutes
And I showed useage of the future, perfect, pluperfect, imperfect and present (of course) tenses,
And then I was asked about something that I COULD or would do, so I was able to show understanding of the conditional tense.
But then...
....
SHE BLOODY ASKED ME TO EXPLAIN THE STORYLINE BEHIND ENDER'S GAME!!!!
You can't bloody do that!! In French at least.
How the hell do you say "Command fleets of spaceships" anyway!?!??!
At that point of the examination I was spouting "Quel est le mot pour suchandsuch" every two seconds.
lol
But overall,
I think that I managed a goood....hmmmm.....65-75%? :S, Who knows?...
Pretty sure
That Laura's a verbnerd.
*nods head sagely*
Top of the class!!

And this mornin'.
Hm.
Chemistry.
It didn't start-off well, because I didn't have bloody time to wash/brush my hair (woken up at 8:00...exam commences at 8:30....run!!!)
And then as I was reading through the extended answer section of the exam,
I realised with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach
That I had forgotten to put the extraction of aluminium and gold into my calculator!!!
Ohmygosh.
So irritating.
But the calculations were suprisingly easy, considering the difficulty of LAST year's Sem 2 exam paper.
All of it was titrations (:P pfft), so it was just a long- but easy- process to get to the answer.
lmao, Cathi..."What's cannon?!?!!"
lololololol, poor girl.
And then I saw Emmaness and Brandoness and Kelcyness for a short period of time before I headed home...
*sighs*
Physics tomorrow afternoon....
God-damn that Chris Shams. I'll machéte him! Then he won't be able to get higher than me...
But what about the rabbits? The rabbits...they'll intervene! THEN ALL WILL BE LOST!!
LOOOSST!!
Wait. First I'd have to go down to the local bakery and get one of those scrummy caramel slices and then we'd all be
LOOOOOOSST!!!!!!
Seeya later guys! Watch out for those evil rabbits. The eyes usually give 'em away (Red...glowing...sometimes shooting laser-beams *shrugs*)
Buh-byes...

*heavy french accent*
Aheah heugh heugh heugh.. *attempt at typing french laughter* lolol,
Yeah
Just bored/tired at the moment,
And last period today (2 and half hours of French....eugh..) was very tiring in it's length.
Mainly from the lack of oxygen getting to my brain due to intense laughter (or prevention of).

sigh

2006-05-23T20:29:00.000+08:00

Why am I sighing?
It can't be that bad...I mean, I could look at things in a positive manner...
:S, but it's too hard...at this point of my life to just shrug it off this time.
With the exams...
the upcoming Sydney tour...
....la jeune que j'aime, et elle ne me parle pas (parce que le dernière dimanche et le chose que je l'a dit :( )
And I'm just having a bit of trouble this time round...
....oh, you think that I'm just being a whingy-whiney-pants and YOU'VE got it bad?
Kid,
The contents of my mind would have a psychiatrist twisting and turning in their sleep until their deathbeds...
*sighs*
Right.
I s'pose that I can spare a few minutes of forced cheerfulness.
*steels self*
Right. HULLOS!! ^^
Eep that took a lot of effort...
Ok. Where should I start with the events of-late? Well, there's been the hectic et enfoncément (?) events of the weekend, which have carried-into this week.
There's been the evil evil evil multitude of tests that evil creatures have been torturing me and others with for the past week.
At work, I learnt of the horrors of doing stocktake in the dairy section....*shakes head*
Damnit...I should've worn bloody gloves....
And there's been the earring incident which only a couple of people have heard of.
You see,
I must've bumped against something during the hours of Sunday night/Monday morning, and then my earring pressed inwards until there was only a thin strip of skin between the spike and the holdy-bit truc. So, I had to take that out, as it was throbbing, and now I can't put it back in...o_O
Talk about a good recovery system! My mother tried after myself,
of course, that lead to blood+pain, so she decided to stop (ie, I stopped her) shortly afterwards.
And it looks as if I'm going to have to get a new piercing!
I'm thinking stainless steel/silver-plated/goldish...why? Because they're quite bland, and that's my style. I can't stand lots and lots of people looking at me :S, it seriously gives me the jitters..
The ONLY case where I can stand it, is when I'm playing music- especially in a group.
If I'm in a group of musicians, then I feel as if I'm just a cog in the machine that amuses the audience, so it's fine. On my own (>.<) I've only done three times *thinks* I think...in my life, all of which I handled quite well (especially one, in which the circumstance of my playing was quite morbid...).
Why is it that humans- such socially interactive *snorts with bitter laughter here* creatures- can find it so terrifying to do something with the eyes of hundreds, if not thousands, of people?
You'd think that they'd feel better about it. :S. Well, at least I would.
Ok.
*looks at clock*
Time's up.
Enough cheerfulness, because nobody seems to l'apprécient. I'll catch you guys later.

Signing off,

'lo guys. How's it 'hanging'?

2006-05-22T20:14:00.000+08:00

Hope it's going OK, or 'hanging high' I think they say.....unless
of course
you're hanging from a rope on a tree....where I hope that you get cut-loose pretty soon >.<, then again. You never know. It could actually be a GOOD situation. Not just the one that suddenly springs to mind. For an example: You could be being chased by a pair of carnivorous warthogs (with or without the apples, lololol, had to be in English..), and the only way you're surviving at this moment is because of the artistic beauty of Only C.Joe's Blog and a handy rope lol.
But yes.
How am I?
Pretty- ahem- merde actually.
Why? Well, you're probably not important enough to know. Unless of course you were one of those merry men(/women...) who were present at the time of the "she's a fairy princess!" incident (hehehe) *sigh*
Yeah. If you guys know, then I'm being pretty torn-up about it....
I don't know why humans suffer such terrible angst about something that could be regarded (from a completely and utterly objective view (for example, a science nerd who's never had it lolol)) as a simple case of instinct.
But it's out in the open now. So at least that's off my chest......>.<, of course then follows the problems that have followed, which is why I'm feeling so enfoncé at the moment.
*bounces head and body down to a funky beat*
Damn, Red Hot Chili Peppers have got soul. lol, 'know it sounds really daggy/'uncool', but they've got the stuff to make you bounce along to their beautiful melodies and harmonies.
*thinks* "She's Only 18" is what I'm listening to at the moment, best part being the chorus.
*nods*
But yes.
To people concerned, please don't cut me out. I feel as if they're avoiding conversation or time with me...and I don't want to be turning into a bloody emo!! Grr. Damn pansies...could you imagine it?
Emo Joe......*rolls around on tongue* as ashamed as I am to say it,
I'm afraid it does have a certain something..
*shudders*
Best stay away from that path. :S
:(
I'm afraid that I must go now....I know it's late, but maybe a long walk will do me some good...
Help me get a few things straightened-out in my head....
:S
Bye guys...

Signing off,

Sometimes, life can be good....pretty much all the rest of the time it's just pure malicious evil >.<

2006-05-18T22:34:00.000+08:00

I have to say that today was a good day.
Now this SHOULD be quite a pleasant thing, one may think. However,
Without the knowledge of my past, you cannot really understand how I might feel at this very moment....
Every time.....something good in my life has happened......something terrible always happens...
Last time I chose to think a day, one of the greatest days of my life- my auntie had a heart-attack and died. The time before that, my Grandmother. My old dog. My cousin ended-up in a horrible situation because of something that happened to her.
The list goes on-and-on. Never to end, and always some sort of...retribution from the heavens because I'm purely happy and content in my life.
So, that's why I'm often so bland and pessimistic, or as some have been known to call it- "mild" lol.
But yeah.
Today was preeetty fab. Started off OK, 'cause I didn't have any arguments with my family about various jobs that needed to be done. Theeennn, I must admit that the first two periods were quite good. We've almost got our music project done (^^), and Ms T's happy with us (hehehehe :P). Then the recess period was spent stressing-over the English essay that was looming over my mind omniously, for 4th period.
Then 3rd, I had a physics test...
pffft,
Breakfasts that I've been doing my best to eat lately could be regarded as bigger tests than that lololol.
Take for example that 'oh-so hard' question about the moon and the mass of the planet.
LOL
Seriously, all you had to of done was find out the velocity (from the radius given- s= (2Pr)/t- t was given as well.). And then from that, all you had to do was go (not knowing the mass of moon is irrelevant);
((mass of moon. velocity squared)/radius)= ((G.mass of moon.mass of planet)/radius squared)
Times both sides by radius, divide both by mass of moon,
The mass of moon cancels-out the moon part on the other side, so huzzah!
You can find out the mass of the planet.
lolol,
Seriously.
Physics is SUCH a joke. If you have a basic understanding of the concepts (even if it's only reaaaallly basic), then you can get AT LEAST 60-65% average.
However, the English in-class that I had next WASN'T such a breeze.....
:'(....
Even though I was temporarily euphoric over my 84% that I recieved in my previous documentary essay, it was soon dampened by my morose thoughts....
It took me 2 and-a-half weeks to write that essay....Well, 3 days to actually get-around to finishing the actual essay, but then the rest of it was editing, cutting, removing, creating new stuff etc etc.
But the fact still remains, that it took 2 and a 1/2 weeks to write it....l'ecrire je pense, en francais *shrugs*
While on the other hand, those who completed their essay ANY time sooner, still managed quite an alright mark despite the circumstances.
The most depressing of all is bloody Brick, who left HIS essay till 2 that morning, and he still managed a high 60s mark.
So WHAT I managed an 84%! 2 and a half weeks!!! For the rest of the year, in ALL the essays that count,
They're under in-class conditions. So I've got ~45 minutes-60 minutes to write a good, ~900 word essay.
Everyone else gets FIIINE marks in in-class situations.
In the last one,
I got bottom of the class. Well, except one girl, but she stopped doing TEE anyway. So yeah.
It's not exactly...
*thinks*
..confidence...building...
I don't know...it's hard to explain....
But yeah. I beat Anthony, hehehehehehe *remembers the stage where I was sorta bouncing up-and-down at this thought* Heheh, so that was (as ashamed as I am to say it) satisfying.
:P
And then I finished the day off with a hard-at-work period of Maths....
....getting pretty low in that subject as well....
The course average is like, ~74%.....I'm getting ~65%, so yeah. Sorta about 8 percent below the course-average ISN'T good....
And then I went home, preparing to go out to the movies.
When the guys come-over.
GrrrRRrrr.
Know EXACTLY what they'd say if they knew I was going with...so I tried to shake them..
BUT STILL THEY TAGGED-ALONG!
Now I don't blame them, 'cause I haven't exactly had that much time to socialise lately.
of course I had plenty of time during the end of the holidays but nooooooo, let's go get drunk every second day.....
Ahem.
So yeah. The movie, and the atmosphere, was quite good. It'd've been better if those guys weren't around, so I could've gotten something off my chest.
But yeah. They were, so turmoiltightening about my chest increases it's grip, and I'm unsure in what to do.....
*sighs*
Life is too hard. But if it wasn't, then I'd be boooorrred-stiff. Eugh. Could you imagine a day where nothing went wrong, and everything went right for just you?
It'd be good, wouldn't it?
But personally,
After about 3- *thinks and reconsiders* ok- ~40 years perhaps, years of EVERYTHING going right,
I'd be about ready to go and jump off that cliff over there.
But the problem would be,
Is that there'd be a massive bunch of pillows being moved at that time, causing you only to harmlessly bounce up-and-down until you came to a comfortable....sleepy......so-soft...stop...
Ok.
Tired now.
Can't be bothered stressing any more about that thing I quickly mentioned before.
And I'm not going to lose any sleep, at least not tonight, over it.
Mebbe all the rest of the days of the week/month/year, yeah, but not tonight.
Might as well make the most of a good day, so that I'm somewhat happy when the bad-news hits me.
I don't believe in karma,
It just happens.
Without fail.
Who knows? Mebbe this time will be the time where lots of things go right for me, and I won't stress over anybody dying/getting into trouble/etc etc and soforth.
Good thought to finish on.
Seeya guys/gals.

"What do they say nowadays in their young-un culture?"

2006-05-17T19:34:00.000+08:00

I think it's....."yo"...?
Was.....up? I've always found that a very silly way of greeting somebody.
I mean, usually you use it to either
a) Ask somebody what's wrong or
b) Ask somebody, literally, what is up? Usually the sky, unless of course you're in a room...where upon the answer'd be 'the roof'.
Mm.
It's much more sensible to say, what I'm about to say.
Hello/Hi. How're ya?
See? It's not that hard you bloody, thick-skulled drug-addicts (talking to genre of population that includes Leam (or what's his nickname? "Lumpy"? Or something like that.)
lol
Sorry guys. I'll get on to the more important stuff, and stop yabbering-on so :P
Yeah. So how's it all goin'?
Seriously, I feel as if my life has been overgrown with the evil weeds of school and homework.
For example, I shall give you one aspect of my life which has been overcome, my social life...

Monday- No rest for the wicked. Gotta chuck all my books/bag/jacket etc etc into my locker (which I finally, lol, have-after over a term :P), quickly put on a white shirt over my school uniform (don't forget the deoderant! :P lol, B.O.), take the school bus to Warick, put my tie on (without a mirror! yay) and then head straight to work, arriving usually in the end at ~5 minutes before I'm due to start. Then it's to bed for....
Tuesday- Band first thing in the morning. Will be very cold, because my jacket's in the locker at this stage of the day. Mebbe I'll wear a shirt, because I don't like seeing my arms (:P, don't ask me why lol). Yeah. Hectic, busy-busy-busy, and after school I do all the study/homework that I'd otherwise have put on Monday night. Bed's very inviting at that stage :P
Wednesday- Woken-up early by an evil- but cute- girl called 'Misty' (I don't like calling cats/dogs 'it'. They're just like people, with some better qualities than the average person *nods emphatically*), and then its rush-rush-rush again through the day. I've got 1h 30mins of French after-school conversation, and then it's back home to continue on homework and study. Mostly Chemistry on a Wednesday.
Thursday- Again, up-early, and I continue with any homework that I need done for today/tomorrow. The day, once again, flashes-by in a dazzling display of equations, formulas, theory, issue-discussion, musical work, and mind-numbing mathmatics. Finally, it's Thursday, which is the only day which I can sort of relax after school. Usually, I'll go up into the city, or I'll go for a ride, or just go strolling through random streets and buy myself something to eat while I watch the traffic go-by. Yeah. I come home ~6:00 usually, and I go straight into teaching myself the chapters in Physics, because Mr Dyer isn't exactly the best of teachers and they're all so slow (lol, :P well it's true....)
Friday- Up early again for band in the morning. Usually it goes quite well, because the music isn't challenging (the most difficult piece we have at the moment is Idewylld Forest *thinks this isn't right spelling/name :P* and that's a piece of blueberry pie compared to Sheperd's Hey lol.
Saturday- I wake up early, make sure I've shaved/washed/ironed-clothes/tied-tie etc, and then I head-off to work after a bit of study+homework. Usually only a 4-hour shift, although on a few occasions I have been asked to do 6->9 hours on a Sat. I take the tie off afterwards, and head home via bus, and yeah. Get a nice good sleep-in for Sunday! yay! Unless, of course, my parents are evil, and they wake me up at 5 to go running/riding with them >.<. grrr.....hate parents....
And finally Sunday!- Which is almost all taken up with study + (at the moment) flute-practice up to the point of band which is at 3:30 now...>.<, as I said before. No rest for the wicked lol

So yeah. Packed week most of the time, and I have to do some pretty fancy manuvers to allow for anything. Although it is quite flexible.
Hrm...
English in-class essay tomorrow.....*sighs* :(, I've given up hope on that. I'll just try my best to stick to the topic of how Helen's arisal of the issues makes society a "better" place.
And then exams week-after-next!
Eugh...so much Chemistry bloody work to get through. Seriously. It MUST weigh at least a couple of kilograms. If not more.
And then I've got to prepare for the Sydney Tour that happens less than two weeks after they finish! lol, I think I've almost got Sheperd's Hey under my thumb. Getting worried about it though...
Seriously worried....
15 weeks they've had it....and although I can sympathise with the flutes, if I've almost got it, then when Ms T went through it at the speed she did, then EVERYBODY should've been doing better than what seemed to be a sight-read.
Hmm.
*shrugs*
If they want to be publically humilliated, that's their choice. I'll play to the best possible ability I can, so that I can at least please Ms T in that aspect. I want to make sure that SHE (as the conductor of us) isn't seen as the figurehead of a completely hopeless band.
But yeah.
I've got the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album "Stadium Arcadium"!!!!
omg, it's so good.
Either, I haven't been keeping in touch with the new songs of the Chili Peppers lately (which is entirely possible :P, I mean. 3 years without a new album is sorta long lol), or they've been working SO hard on this album. Because it's got 28 god-damn new songs! Awesome stuff!
Seriously
They've got serious soul. Gotta love 'em for keeping good music alive!! Them and a few other bands. But yeah. Seriously consider buying it, even if you aren't a Chili Peppers fan.
What other news is there in my life?
Hrm.
Not that much actually. I'm grasping at straws lol, but mebbe that'll change.
Who knows? Who cares?? lol, certainly not me.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
I've just had a blaster of an idea.....
...
Yeaaahhh.....*chuckles* It'd certainly be interesting. And mebbe this blog'd be updated on a more continuous basis if I did it...
What would I have to do?
Ooooh, I think I'll keep the suspense going. I'll turn over the thought in my mind (and put it in my diary so I don't forget! lolol), and see whether it turns out to be unreactive (or produe a -ve emf....:P)
Yeah. Somethin's goin'-on at school, but you're probably not interested- but meh. Who cares anymore.
It's not as if anybody'd actually be interested. :S
Anyways, I'm feelin' a bit down at the moment, 'cause it doesn't seem as anybody seems to be talking on the young-un internet channels which is widely-known as MSN, and yeah.
Sometimes I'm just amazed by people...other times...actually, most of the time,
They act exactly as I predict. And I've got a few predictions for the near and far future.
Wise ol' Councillor Joe's just tired. Ignore him and his morose views on the immediate world, for he's just rambling-on.
Damn it all guys. Good thing I don't really believe God exists, otherwise I'd be pretty confused about my values at this point of time.
Anyway, I'll see ya later

2006-05-14T18:19:00.000+08:00

Life stinks. It reaaally does.
It's going to be because of my ameteurish ability with the piccolo, that the band won't make it to the Command Performance...
Damnit. If I can't even play some bloody two bars on the piccolo, then how the hell is the band going to make it through the gruelling experience of that conductor dude!?!?
Everybody else can play their parts just fiiiine, but no. Not me. Why? Because I'm not made out to be a musician.
By the time we go to Sydney, I'll only be at the level of skill that most of the band is at now!
Eugh, it's not a good day.....
When Ms T was saying "If you're tired now, after only 1 and a half hours practice, then you obviously aren't doing enough work",
I was just ashamed. I should be better than this!!!
*sigh*
This stinks....
And now I have to listen to some b'y lecture from my parents about "Not doing this" and "not doing that" and "I told you to do this",
Even though I haven't been at home most of the day.
btw,
Happy mother's day to those concerned!! I got my Ma' a nice *thinks* 'Rhodium-plated, sterling silver' necklace, from this pearl-jeweller's shop down at Hillary's. It cost a pretty penny, but it made her happy. For the time *ie, 1-2 hours*, until she went-off at me for doing somethingorother.
I didn't get the homework I intended to get done; 2 Chem sets, including English essay preparation- study for the *thinks briefly* 4 major tests that I have this week (English-Thursday, Chemistry-Monday, Maths-Monday, Physics-Thursday, French- Friday), sorry. Make that 5.
And I feel awful, for no apparant reason. Just as if I am the worst person in the entire world....
*sighs*
It's going to be a VERY long week......
I might not be updating Only C.Joe's Blog as much as I normally do. I've really got to prepare for English.
Any lapse there, and I can say goodbye to passing highschool..
:'(
Why is it so hard!?!? For god's sake I speak the damn language! Why am I doing so badly!?!?!?!?!?!?
*take a big breathe*
But I s'pose that if my patient and emotionless self can't take the stress, then nobody can..
So, I'll "stumble through just the same". I'll pretend that it's somebody's plan to make me break and fail, so that's bound to invoke some sort of stubborness in me. *nods*
Anyways,
I'll let you guys know how that goes.
Seein'ya later,

Hero Of The Day- Metallica (Nice light song)

2006-05-13T20:57:00.000+08:00

Mama they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you hear your names?
Did you hear your baby's crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

S'cuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made
For years, can't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me

While I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light

So can you hear your baby's crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you hear your names?
Did you hear your baby's crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't hear your baby's crying now?
Mama they try and break me...Mama they try and break me...Mama they try and break me...Mama they try...Mama they try..Mama they try and break me...Mama they try and break me....Mama they try and break me...
Mama they try
Mama they try ..

On that note.

2006-05-13T20:11:00.000+08:00

Yes. As I mentioned briefly beforehand,
It is quite a nice night...
The moon is full, and shines bright down upon the land...
The sky is half clear, but still clouds occasionally drift across the bright moon, dampening the land in it's dark grip for a brief, terrifying moment, until relief floods back with the light...
..
LOL.
Just trying to get in a poem-writing mood. I'm starting some drafts for that (lolololol) poem competition that I 'entered' earlier this week...:P
Yeah. I was ACTUALLY being serious, even though I wasn't..if that makes any sense- which it doesn't. So ignore that.
So yeah, I went for a nice walk. And the only light guiding my way, was of that reflecting off the moon. Not sure why I went for a walk, mebbe I just needed to get away from the family for a bit...
Went sorta wandering around Duncraig. :S. Do you have any idea how many hoons terrorise the bloody neighborhood in their hoon-groups at ~8:00 at night??
A lot. Strange. I thought that Duncraig wasn't like that.
Then again, with the sudden boom of the dreadful disease "pratness-in-small-various-people" it's hardly suprising I suppose.
But yes. Immensly relaxing, despite incoherent shouts hurled in your direction every few minutes or so.
Plus on the way back home, I passed the deli, whereupon I bought chips, a Mars Bar (wow...It's been SO long since I've had a Mars Bar, it's not funny...seriously....it must've been..*thinks*...4/5 years?), a can of coke- and then sat on a park bench for a bit consuming said products.
Work was tiring today. lol. I think I've found the perfect way to get through those long, gruelling hours of work.
You have to almost detach yourself comepletly from the things happening to you...
Well, it'd be better if I described what happened in my own words"
"BibbleszebuboboboboboboAIEEEE!!!!".......
Oh. You want real words? Fine. If you don't like the word that I invented (ie, my 'own' word lol), then I'll be a bit more specific.
Ok. Where should I start. Actually- it's a bit hard to start and end, because I don't remember much of the shift at all!
It's as if my body was running on full-auto; conversing somewhat with customers, scanning and packaging items, collecting and give back money.
And my mind was in this sort of haze, mulling over ideas, thoughts, issues but only half-concious.
To be truthful, (and excepting a couple of conversations where the topic sort of snapped me back into reality), I only really remember Rebecca asking me to open-up on Lane 4, and then "Ok! You can go home now! Bye!".
..o_O
This is either a good habit to get into (because I didn't have any problems or anything! ^^),
or the few glasses of water I was drinking before my shift started- wasn't water!
Now I'm very open, and to tell you the truth *looks around house* it could be either. You can't trust anybody around here *peers suspiciously around the room again*
Why only the other day *starts whispering* I'm sure that Ma was looking at my bowl of chips with a greedy stare...and I swear when I turned for a moment, one of them dissapeared!*leans back* Mmmm.....
I'll have to prepare some sort of mouse-human-trap...so I can catch them in the act!
I'll have to include my name-tag somehow...why? Just because.
You're with them aren't you?? Oh dear godTHEY'RE EVERYWHERE! FLEE TO THE HILLS! *"M'lord! They're coming from the hills!"* RUN AWAY FROM THE HILLS! IF YOU SEE HILLS, RUN THE OTHER WAY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaargh.....

Just because it's a full-moon outside, and because there're approprialy dramatic, yet nonetheless effective, wisps of clouds drifting across said local satellite- I'm going to randomly post up the lyrics to Metallica's "Of Wolf And Men" :P. Basically, it's linking the 'finer' traits of human nature to those of wolves, yet still stating at the end that human's are still inferior to the animals they hunt:

Of Wolf And Men-
Words and music by Metallica
Off through the new day's mist I run.
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt- therefore I am
Harvest the land-
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift- pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep...
Chorus
Shapeshift Nose to the wind
Shapeshift Feeling I've been
Move swift All senses clean
Earth's gift Back to the meaning of life

Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill is the air cold as steel tonight
We shift- call of the wild
Fear in your eyes- It's later than you realized

I feel a change....
Back to a better day....
Shape shift...Hair stands on the back of my neck
Shape shift...In wildness is the preservation of the world,
So seek the wolf in thyself

Shapeshift Nose to the wind
Shapeshift Feeling I've been
Move swift All senses clean
Earth's gift Back to the meaning of wolf..
And man.

Okay. I'm miffed.

2006-05-10T19:24:00.000+08:00

GrrRRRRrrr.
Okay.
Imagine a REALLY big grizzly bear, who's just had some kid throwing rocks at him for a few hours, had rude messages passed under the table to him, and then the grumpy bear meets me....
I swear,
That even a near-to-snapping grizzly bear would hitch up his/her fur and be bolting for it, I'm in such a mood.
...
Let me see? My brain feels as if somebody's taken up a pickaxe, and gone on a homicidal-maniac rage on my forehead (ie, I have a really bad headache...I can't see properly out of my left eye...it's bad...), my back's sore because I've been riding from 4-6:30, and people (hooligans) were insulting me as I was riding with a (at the time) minor headache- so that was unfun....
But anyways,
How are YOU guys? ^^
Once again, I state that there has been s significant lack of comments lately...
Actually, now that I mention it, the blog's been getting a lot more traffic recently.
Mebbe I'm a good writer!!...
..
lmao
BAH!
What a joke....
Oooh! I have a funny funny funny, laugh-out-loud physics joke!
Hehehehe.
Ok. Here it is (from Ma's computer):
As you know, if you drop a piece of buttered bread, it will fall onto the floor butter-side down. And, if you drop a cat from a window/high place etc, it will land on it's feet. But what if you attach a buttered piece of bread, butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out the window? Will the cat land on it's feet? Or will the butter splat on the ground?
The Oracle thus spake the answer to be:
Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself you should be able to deduce the obvious result.
The laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash it's furry back. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall.
That's right you clever mortal! (well, as clever as a mortal can get),
You have discovered the secret of antigravity!
A buttered cat will, when released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent.

Most of the civilized species of the Universe already use this principle to drive their ships while within a planetary system. The loud humming heard by most sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several hundred tabbies.
The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats manage to eat the bread off their backs they will instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land on their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much good, since right after they make their graceful landing several tons of red-hot starship and pissed off aliens crash on top of them.
Hehehehe, funny funny funny.
I've got lots more, but I'm too tired to put them on-blog at the moment.
lol, I find that physics is hilaarious.
Seriously.
All the physics teachers that I've met (in and out of school) (and actually, I'd add all the maths teachers of DSHS to this list) have got this strange, very subtle, but nonetheless hilarious sense-of-humour.
Take this quote (from a physisist that I've never met/never will probably) as an example:
"It was as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a sheet of tissue paper, and it came back to hit you" (Ernest Rutherford, about the scattering of alpha particles from goldfoil, which resulted in the discovery of the atom nucleus).
See? They find something immensely interesting (at least to NORMAL people (Mum- "ie, to people who actually are GOOD at physics/maths")), and they make a funny comment about it!
My maths teacher, Mr Olsen, has got a FANTASTIC method of teaching.
You see, he has this really subtle manipulation of words and humour, which underlies his entire course.
And it makes it easier (for those who get the jokes) for somebody to remember!
lol, Emma getting 100% and beating everyone else (including Anthony, bwah!). Of course, that happened to include me...but it was worth it to see the expression on his face! hehehe...
But yes.
What should I talk about now?
Hmm.
Let me think. Actually, don't. You know how I usually end-up rambling-on about something or other for a good half-hour before I get tired and stop posting..
Eep, my head hurts.....*whimpers*
Personally, I reaaaallly dislike drugs...
I really feel uncomfortable using them. This includes Panadol/Neurofen/etc etc, which usually makes my life a bit painful to be in sometimes.
*groans* I wish I could take some Panadol damnit.....*sighs*
lolollolololol,
lol
You guys know what? You know this suppos-ed "poetry competition-thing", with the pink form?
Bwah! I'm going to enter it! Hehehe.
That's going to be funny.
Hrmm...what should I write about though? Something that I've experienced in my life, definitly.
So...hmmm...for some reason I want to use the word "cloud" in the text......
Don't ask why, it's just me being "creative" *puts hand to head* lol (-Blackadder).
Sigh. Yes. I said "sigh". That's a sure sign that I've gone completely mad, or it's too difficult for me to go Shift-8, to get the little "*" thing. Anyways, I'll seey'all later.

2006-05-09T20:18:00.000+08:00

^^
I like costume parties.
Yes. About the as forementioned costume party- I went as General Melchett from the Blackadder series ("Blackadder Goes Forth"). Hehehehe.
I had a moustache!!! It was so cool! Except
That it's impossible to eat/drink properly with a moustache...you need to sort of tilt your head like that and this, and then make sure that the little bits of hair are-it's impossible! However. Beards/moustaches are cool. I may have one (as an experiment) on day in the future.
And yes.
I had a cool haat, and I had a nice coat, and I had some cool badges (scavenged from around the house) and
I had a swagger-stick!!!! ^^ ^^
It's sooo cool. You SWAGGER with it!....well, you stick it against + under your arm, and you march along.
Because I didn't want to bother anyone with giving me a lift, I walked home, and I swaggered all the way!! ^^ Hehehe, I must've looked like such a TOTAL idiot :P. But then again, I look like an idiot all the time. So yes.
Mm. Lots of funs!!
Lots of cake....
After one slice I was full!! :(, and there were balloons again....many balloons....enough to lift up a small, cuddly dog! Hehehe, but not the barbie....
And everyone else had such cool costumes as well! There was the Birthday Girl, and Blondie, and Barbie (^^ lol, pretty cool ball dress) and Benedict (hehehe, so funny-> the image of Pope Benedict cracking open a bottle of ginger beer hehehe), and there were two bumblebees, and there were some other guys, but I can't think of the costumes they dressed as.
But yes. Lots of funs.
Anyways,
Just thought I'd let you guys know that.

You Are 26% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?

- What?!?!? I am SO not that evil..suuurre, I've had my little moments of *hehehe, *pours bucket of ice on person while they were sleeping for revenge**

But it's a hell of a lot better than going around putting people down. Or lying. I hate lying.....I endevour NEVER to lie to anybody. At least I try my best. And I have NEVER, nor will I ever, lied to someone I consider a friend.

Grr. Stupid test.....pretty sure that I should send them viruses in the almighty wrath of Councillor Joe.......umm. You didn't hear that.

#2:

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Black Comedy

In your life, things are so twisted that you just have to laugh.
You may end up insane, but you'll have fun on the way to the asylum.

Your best movie matches: Being John Malkovich, The Royal Tenenbaums, American Psycho

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

Oooh, I like comedies. Hehehe, I'm not mad!! "I'm just a little unwell- I know, right now you can't tell"......:P Awful band that.

Naaah, SO sure that those "best movie matches" have got NOTHING on me.

I think the best representation is Arthur Dent- Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy:

Everything seems to go completely and utterly wrong by "coincidence" :P

#3:

Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC

"Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back"

Things sometimes get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos.
But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last!

What's Your Theme Song?

Meh. ACDC are pretty good. And that's saying something, considering my standards for what's 'good music'

#4:

Your Band Name is:

The Furious Leprechauns

Band Name Generator

- lmfao. Pretty sure that I'll have to be the "Furious Leprechaun". Hehehe. I don't know about this 'band' idea really. Personally, I don't think that Josh/Anthony/Alastair/anybody else who "wants to start up a band" really means it.
When I say, that I want to start playing in a band. I'm being bloody serious. I'm in it for the muuusic maaannn, lolol. If I do end up playing guitar seriously, I'll probably be a solo artist. *nods head* Much more fitting to my personality.

#5 :

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama.
Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time...
But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you.
You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

lol (Natural influencer) , lol (strong and passionate). I am SOOO not influencial. Most of my ideas, to people around me, are like "Yeah. Just go sit over here Joe. And have this interesting ball...you bounce it...."

You Are The Hermit

You posses a great deal of wisdom and the ability to see people for who they are.
You are always looking ahead at the future, developing visions.
A loner, you tend to travel by yourself through life, seeking your own truth.
You don't crave material things or fancy titles. You have no baggage.

Your fortune:

It's possible that there is a unknown guiding figure in your life, ready to help you.
All you have to do is find this person and seek their advice.
It's also possible that you need to start seeking the meaning of your own life.
Either way, there's some deep thinking you need to undertake, and it needs to be done soon.

What Tarot Card Are You?

:S, that's pretty accurate :P Hehehe, I SHOULD say precise. Because accurate means (in basic terms) correct, or exact. Whereas "precise" means (once again, in basic terms) near-to the exact or correct, with varying degrees of nearness. lol

You Aren't Scary, You're Scared

Probably even scared to see how this quiz came out!

How Scary Are You?

lmao, French restaurant dinner. Buses, and the beach.. lololollol. This is SO untrue. Look! I can be scary! Rawr! See?! Bet you're all cowering under the table as I speak!!...

Eep! It's a mosquito attacking me! Take that you fiend!!

Ahhh, what an AWESOME dude...
He was the lead guitarist of "Led Zeppelin" see? And seriously,
He rocked (lol)
Then again,
Since what was probably his best solo ("Stairway to Heaven"), there HAVE been a few artists that have absolutely- how do they put it?- "Pwned....arse?..."? :P, sounds too vulgar/childish in my mouth to use with the right emotions....I'll just say "rocked" lol.
Take for example, that awesomeness awesome lead guitarist from Iron Maiden! Wossname....>.<....!..!...!-!...!!!!!!- Dave Murray? I think so..it might be the other one, but I don't know :P
lol
Anyways,
Yes.
The first weekend of the second term has passed my *not-quite* siblings-in-pencilholdings. (brethren-in-arms/whatever lol :P)
Lots of homework in the first week....hmm...I've done most of it,
But god-damnit. I'm struggling to keep-up in Chemistry again! Grr...
If only I had the opportunity to drop it..*sighs*
But I can't. Because it's either a Chem mark (which I've actually got SOME hope of getting quite a good mark) or an English mark (...doesn't need to be said...) which I'd have to use in my T.E.R/T.E.S calculations.
So I'm afraid that I'll just have to do a bit of study before I go to bed tonight + some study tomorrow morning for the test that's scheduled then.
Hmmm.....
Damnit.
I can't seem to remember how bloody bleaching works. Grr. It's got something to do with the OH- , and something to do with #ClO# ions....:P

Bored now.

Stairway To Heaven- Led Zeppelin

2006-05-07T18:38:00.000+08:00

(Intro acoustic + flute joins in on second repetition)
There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

Oooh oooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

(rift + tempo change - flute stops)
Ooh, it makes me wonder...
Oooooh, it makes me wonder.....

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen, rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder...
Oooh, and it makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
And the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn, for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter....

Oohh
(+ drums)

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go down, but in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on..

And it makes me wonder....
Ooohh...

Your head is hummin' and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...

(rift change- lead up to solo)
(solo)
(climax of piece)
And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadow's taller than our soul,
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show,
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last,
When all are one, and one is all,
To be a rock, and not to roolll (let ring)
(outro lead guitarist + chords from other guitars, dies poco a poco until..)
(music fades to nothing)
And she's buying...a stairway...to heaven...

Words and music by Led Zeppelin

Do you guys ever get the feeling....

2006-05-05T19:32:00.000+08:00

..that you're trying to scale this inner-wall?
Trying to overcome embarrassment, fear, and various other emotions so that you might perform a task?
I do. I'm quite familiar with the feeling actually.
And I'm currently battling with the old enemy right now.
"To be? Or not to be?" asked that random person in the play written by that funny person. You know. That one!....Ummmm........It's got something to do with shaking a weapon- Shakespeare! That's the one.
*shakes head*
But the best way to scale a wall, is to take a good-run up, and then just go for it. You'll waste too much time just sorta scuffing your feet at the bottom, trying to find little nooks and crannys for your feet to fit-in.
But yes.
Hm. Topics.
"To continue like this only acts as a force for no good" or something along those lines indeeeed.
...
*sighs in dissapointment*
Well. Seeing as I can't think of anything better,
I'm going to sit here and talk to you younglings (lol, seeing as most of you are OLDER than me :P) about alcohol.
Hmmmm.
Personally, I dissaprove of it. I feel that there are a lot of better ways to entertain yourselves than- what in essentiality it really is- killing-off brain cells and yourself.
Unfortunatly, it seems that about Yr 11- Perhaps Yr 12 for some of the less weak people- it seems that kids want to experiment and, most of all, fit-into the 'cool group', by experimenting with alcohol.
This is an undeniable and unfortunate reality as I've said before. Everyone at one point in their lives experiments with the effects of alchohol, but some are addicted.
Now I know that some of you guys might be protesting and going "Nah, I'm right. I'm not addicted! I just have it more often than you do, with friends".
But I've seriously noted how some of my previously great great friends have become these enormous (pardon my french) imbéciles (if you want to find out what it means in the context I'm talking about, ask). Grr. And now because they've had too much experience in too little a time, they really have become addicted.
Why only the other day apparantly, ol' borin' (lol- French) Brando was talking about how he was going to a 'party with some friends to get drunk' or something.
That's really disturbing for me.
Really.
Now I must shamefully admit that I DID go through a small stage which was SIMILAR to that.
However it wasn't with peers, and I feel a bit embarassed and uncomfortable talking about it. So I won't. It's merely to show you people out there thinking "Well how does HE know eh? He's probably never touched a drop".
I certainly drink, but by a comparitively massive gap in time-span.
I now probably only have a glass of wine- once or twice a week- with my spaghetti bolonaise. And that's only to enhance the flavour. And certainly, every few months or so, when I'm feeling quite down, I may have a bit more than usual. But these kids seem to think that it's OK to drink in the quantities that they are!
For goodness sake!
They're bloody destroying their livers, their SOCIAL connections, and most of all, setting themeselves up later in life to become alcoholics.
I do realise that I'm probably coming across as some preachy, nanny-like complainer, but I'm really worried.
I've really started to dislike the new traits that this drug has revealed in my friends, in-fact, Yr 12 has really revealed a lot of things in some people which I don't like. And I don't like not liking them!
It makes me feel really bad....
*sighs*
Anyways,
There are PLENTY of other ways to entertain yourselves! You could go out to the movies, or go out shopping, or go and spend a few dollars on some sweets with friends
And ALL of these different things are HEALTHY (lol, except in the case of the sweets :P) alternatives to a few hours of drinking, and then a day of hang-time (....lame joke on the word "hangover" :P. (Although, this one's the best I've seen for ages!!! Ok. You need to know a bit about Phsyics to sort of understand the joke *lmao*. Ok ok. Why did Newton strangle his parrot??......Because he wanted to see it torque!!! bwahahaha! lmao......ok. So it's not THAT funny, but I found it hilarious...>.< Shush!!)).
Yes.
Anyways,
I'll see you guys later.
Make sure you're starting your studies for exams right now, if you haven't already!!
Especially any History/Chem students o_O, people who slack there will suffer, trust me.

Yes.
Anyways,

Buh-byess!

lolol.
I'm releasing a lot of stress on this wonderful little flash-game called "Interactive Buddy" or something. It's basically this thing, where you get lots and lots of little weapons, and beat the hell out of this little stick-figure game.
A stress-relief game in it's utmost simplicity.
And by gods I need stress-relief >.<
Eugh....how did my day go, to cause such a need you might ask?
Well.
It started off badly..then it sort of trailed-away in the middle...and the less said about the end, the better. But aside from that - it was wonderful......note the tone of writing there....>.<
Yeah
Pretty crummy.
I had this awful chem test first period (and I was late for school for an embarrassing reason, so I had less time to complete it), and of course, MY BLOODY LAB MANUAL WAS AT HOME!!!, so I didn't have the information that EVERYONE ELSE had....
Ahem.
THEN I had B.S. Life Tech. In-class too!....which was EVER so lovely... (this tone keeps on popping-up doesn't it?)
Then my day sorta brightened up a bit in French. lol, gotta love the girls.
And then lunch came round, and I felt really grumpy for no apparant reason....
And then I had music, where I practiced Sheperd's Hey with the big flute-teacher of awesomeness.
Damn him!!
He can get the god-damn flute part on sight-reading!!
Grr...
It probably has something to do with practice >.<
Shush!
*groans*
Damn I'm bloody tired...I have NOT had a good first week :P
At least it's the week-end. I s'pose the first week back at school is like the "three-day-hump" that those guys talk about. You know. The ones with the funny-looking, chemically repugnant sticks in their mouths?? Smokers! And that guy, Morgan Spurlock, in his SuperSize Me documentary *nods*
Yes.
Perhaps, now that I've cleared the almighty "First Week", it'll sorta smooth-out?
..
Unlikely.
*groans about exams*
Grrr...
Damn squirrels....lol.
So what's on my mind? Apart from Georgia (lol, lame joke about jazz song).?
Well. I don't actually HAVE a Georgia on-my-miiiiiiind, at the moment.
I actually, in-fact, have this mat of dead growth that humans mockingly call "Hair". That and a skull. Which I'm thankful for. Otherwise I'd be dead.
lol
Human bio test for those concerned :P.
Probably nobody who reads this blog.
Did you know that I got some random insult-mail the other day???
Adressed to me, it was going along the lines of "Dude, you're seriously metally ill or something" and so on and so forth.
Dude! At least I HAVE a personality!
Unlike most of these bloody gansta' "I'm-gonna-pop-a-cap-in-u-ass" idiots wandering around,
I'm actually..how would you say it?....bah. Too much effort thinking about proving something that's blatentally obvious.
Anyways.
I'm bored.
And therefore, so shall you, for I leaveth the computereth.

G'day/G'd'arvo/G'd'evnin'/whatever guys.
How's it goooin'?
Good? Good. If not, I dinnae care :P, because I won't actually meet the vast majority of ye, because ye prob'ly live in some distant folk town, in the middle of America for all I know.
So,
Knowing how each and every one of you guys feel isn't exactly going to influence my life in a large way.
Of course there's all those people nerebyish that'd influence me, but of course, I don't have the time to hear each and every one of your replies....
Unless of course, you comment!!
Pretty sure
That almost nobody comments around here. Look at all my hard work and effort!!.....well....spare timeness...and effort....shush you!
Yes.
A better day today? Hm. No. Probably not.
But then again, I had a nice last-period session, so that was good. lol
Damnit! I AM SO a guy! Grr. Damn last-French-assistante. >.<.
And no, my name is NOT Michelle. :P
Most of you guys probably wouldn't understand half of this. In fact, those that SHOULD probably don't lolol, because I remember such obscure and little things :P
But that's how my mind works sometimes. And my humour.
What is it about cars that fascinate people so?
I don't like 'em personally. I can't reaaaally comprehend the distance between the side I'm driving-on, to the side the passanger's sitting-on, as I'm SO used to only having to really worry about *in respect to what's in-front of me* things that're in a ~45 degree arc in-front of me. That's walls, stationary cars etc etc. OF COURSE I accomodate for the moving objects, but in that case I'd rather rely on a good periphical vision, rather than a shoddy old side-mirror ~1/2 metres to my left any old day :P
But yes.
What I'm saying is, is that bikes are soo much better than cars. At least a mon avis.
One because it's easier to know what's going around you,
Two; You'd be (or at least I would be! lolol) utterly terrified of what you're doing, so you do anything stupid.
Three: You don't exactly have to worry about peer-pressure on a bike, because it's only you + one other person, max. And they'd be very terrified, and definitely WOULDN'T want to do aything stupid.
Four: You'd be VERY awake riding a bike...you wouldn't have to worry about dozing-off, because the seat's so uncomfortable, and you've got this terrible wind blowing in your face, and you're getting bugs squashed all over your jacket..:P
Yeah.
That's why I think the bikes betteeeerrrr...
Buuuuut
People ARE correct in saying that it IS more dangerous than being in a car, because you're pretty much screwed (if you don't mind me using uncouth language) if you fall off on the freeway lolol, helmet or not! But,
That fear, I think, would lead to you being a lot more careful in what you're doing.
At least I hope so.
Otherwise, you're an idiot, and you shouldn't be given anything more powerful than a bicycle, with the brakes-on all the time....
:P

Aaaanyways,
Bored now. Tired.
Seeya later.

"Good Company" by Queen

I'd like a select few of you guys out there to take heed of the main message behind this song, and indeed, keep good company.
Words and music by Brian May
Take good care of what you've gotMy father said to me
As he puffed his pipe and baby B
He dandled on his knee
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
Keep all good company
oohoo oohoo
Take care of those you call your own and keep good company

Soon I grew and happy too
My very good friends and me
We'd play all day with Sally J
The girl from number four
And very soon I begged her
Won't you keep me company?
Oohoo oohoo oohoo oohoo
Come marry me for evermore
We'll be good company

Now marriage is an institution sure
My wife and I our needs and nothing more
All my friends by a year by and by disappeared
But we're safe enough behind our door

I flourished in my humble trade my reputation grew
The work devoured my waking hours,
but when my time was through
Reward of all my efforts
My own Limited Company
I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company
All through the years in the end it appears
There was never really anyone but me
Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no one's there to see
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity

Take care of those you call your own
And keep good company

Hope you've taken something from that,
that you should make sure you keep good company. Make sure your friends- and I don't just mean chatting-buddies or people you're aquainted-to - know and love you for who you are. You need these long, life-lasting relationships to get you through the hard times of life,
And as the song implies,
This guy's job didn't suffer him any comfort when his only limited company passed away (what I'm assuming). He was left with nothing that mattered, as the rewards of his lifetime.
Take heed good ol' chaps/gals, and I'll seeya later.

Well kiddos...

I believe I've gone entirely mad.
Completely off-my-clock,
Underpants on head, pencil up nose and all that jazz
Because of the simple reason
I actually enjoyed (to whatever small extent, it does not matter) going to school today.
*puts hand to head in particuarly dramatic fashion*
Oh me.
Oh my.
How my mood doth swing in a drooping fashion.
I think, it was the routine of school that I enjoyed. Because, as I've probably told you many times in previous posts *can't be bothered to look tout de suite* I wasn't exactly very occupied during the holidays.
I mean, SURE, I had homework, aaand I had a few shifts at Coles (lol, didn't get in 30 hours, but meh, it's money! :P, plus the Janet person seems to like me, which is good) buuuuut
Next-to-no socialising. Just one fab movie, and one fab restaurant diner francais or whatever they call it in France. Actually, they prob'ly just say diner because they ARE french, and it would be very silly saying that it was a French dinner seeing as they're in France. It'd be like the Chinese saying "'Ello lovey! I think we'll have some Maccas for our Chinese tea this fine arftornoon, dun' you think lovey?" "Oh yes, dear. Don't want ye t'ave onions. They give ye wind, they does" "Keeps it down love, dun' want the neighboors to 'ear" - except in Chinese.
Or us saying "an Aussi dinner" everytime we want to have a dinner in Australia.
ANYWAYS
What I'm TRYING to say that I.....
*looks back*
Yes. I DIDN'T have almost anything on during the holidays, so I DIDN'T have a very full timetable, so I DIDN'T have anything planned for each day. In fact, during the holidays, my main activities were
a) Finding very interesting shapes on the wall (such as funny figures you make out of little dents or scratchs on the wall etc etc)
b) Playing guitar for an hour or so
c) Doing homework
d) Wishing I had something else better to bloody do.
Yes. And with the arrival of school, and it's so action-packed, exciting, roller-coaster experiences *sarcasm* - but even more importantly, it's timetable, I had something to do ALL DAY...
*sighs*
Sad, isn't it?
:P
However, as I'm about to cook dinner *curry, ooh yay...not really. I prefer French/Italian meals (especially pate a la sauce bolonaise much more)*
I'll need to quickly cook *it*,
Thus and therefore, as I'm unable to cook it in an infintesimatly small space of time (because I, nor the instruments would be cooking/moving at the speed of light), I shall return shortly to continue booooring you all to death about this topic
Be back in 20!
*commences cooking*
*finishes eating*
Okay
Now I feel sick.
:P
I'm not exactly a fantastic cook. I mean, I cook a meeaan spaghetti bol., but pretty much everything else I try to cook on my own ends-up as a disaster.
Like that chocolate cake I tried to cook a couple of years back.
You see, I added just the tiiiinsyest weeensee-est little too-much baking powder or whatever it was, and in essentiallity, it exploded. And there was that time where I set-fire to the stove accidentaly, aand that time where as a school assesment me and Stuart tried cooking Minestrone soup, but it was so bad that even though we poured it down the sink in disgust, it was rejected by hell iteself because it (very shortly) came up in the ajdacent sink.
I believe I, as they say, 'laughed my head off". Of course, my head didn't actually fall OFF. Certainly our mark, in a way, fell off a marking-cliff of some sort, but no. My head did NOT fall off at an "inconvinient moment" lol
But yes.
The list goes on and on and on and on and on, and I could reaaally continue this sentence for a VERY long time, because once more (as school is over) I have nothing to do.
I've studied for Chem, and Phsyics is laughable, and French....*sighs* I don't want to go to that stupid session tomorrow afternoon! >.<.
I WANT to go home early...not stay and chat to some bizarre person French for half-an-hour.
Grr.
Still
I saw all those gals, which was coool, and all those guys, which was kewl, and I saw all those teachers which was also coooooool, but I saw Ms Andrade, which incidentally I have for THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!! (= no hope at passing English), which was NOT that cool.
....
Let's just say
That I don't have high hopes.....it's a lot easier, because you certainly aren't dissapointed when you find out the verdict lolol
*sighs*
But
With all these ups, must come downs.
Otherwise there'd be no such things as hills. Or pancakes....Or much of anything really, as we require a 3-dimensional world to survive-in.
But I'm speaking in an emotionally/issue-like sense rather than a material sense,
Although the fact that I'm NOT filthy rich, with an abundance of indecently-dressed women at my every command IS a sort-of a downer in the material sense.
Yes!
As I was saying.
Downs. Issues which return upon contact with school *"Roger roger sir, we've got contact....sorry"*. But you're probably not important enough, nor emotionally stable enough to be conversing those sorta things with me.
So yeah. I'll just leave it at that, for now.
>.<
Why are teachers so stupid sometimes???
Argh. My Physics teacher- Mr Dyer- I KNEW that the gravitational force exerted from the centre of the galaxy is not near enough to prevent all our solar-systems from flying out at tangents into the infinite! See!!! It's written down! And said by that smart guy....wossisname....got something to do with a bird...Hal...Hak...Hawk...Hawk-awk-awk-awk - Hawkingson! Steve Hawkingson or something. Yes. He said it! And thus and therefore,
Just like the cosine rule,
And the 42/62/#2 centimetres-longness
I WAS RIGHT!! Me! Meeeee!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!
...
Sorry. It's just that often I have bizarre, and hard-to-explain theories in Physics, and nobody (including, sometimes, the teacher) believes me. And then only after an hour's long arguing do I FINALLY manage to prove to those "know-it-all" bas-I mean. Ahem. Umm. People. Yes.- People, and then I DO deserve SOME gloating privilages, but they're *Mr Dyer* is like
"Oh do be quiet Joseph"
!!
Humph indeeed
This is going to be a looooooooong term.
Already I've copped-it from three friends this arvo', my parents (as per usual) AND Misty, and she's supposed to not even REMEMBER what she's grumpy about 5 minutes after she had reason to be.
*sighs*
I feel sad....I've no reason to be.
It's a common case for human nature, for we are one of the few animals able to contemplate our utter lonesomeness in the entirety of the universe, and so when one feels lonely on our relatively high-population planet, it sorta really bears down upon them like a tonne of bricks.
Except without the actual mass of the bricks actually falling on them (even though some WOULD like it to be so), because then we'd have a lot of messy footpaths, bedrooms etc etc.
*sighs again*
"Damn it's britches. Damn it's eyes. Damn it's duck-pond!!" is what I say about the universe.
At least cows aren't falling on you. That's about the same messiness when in comparison to bricks (possibly more, taking into consideration, the cow) and more insulting (the gods hate you).
Of course when you've had TREES try and fall on you ("On purpose! They all hate me!! Grr..You could be one...couldn't you????.....*hides behind chair and continues typing*") you sorta don't mind all the things that the big ol' bad universe throws at you.
:(
Anyways,
Talk to you guys later-

*sighs*
School tomorrow....
Yeah...it feels as if I'll be marching off to the firing squad, after a shoddy escape attempt involving a wooden duck and a pond.
*sighs*
Even this cute little thingymagig, which I don't know the exact use of, doesn't cheer me up...
Still.
At least I'll be able to go to Phsyics again! And look forward to not doing any work for an hour!
..
No.
That isn't very cheerful either.
Hmmmm
Teachers? Nope. They give me homework. English? Why do I even bother asking??
Scaring little children by putting-on my "grumpy Councillor Joe" face? Bah. Never do it anyway. So I can't look forward to that.
Out of the very small percentage of things that are in the +ve about school
Is the fact, that I won't be bored EVERY BLOODY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!
ARGH
Talk about distinct lack of socialising....
*mutters*, and I s'pooooose that I'll be seeing the REST of you young hooligans as well.
*purses lips*
I have a feeling,
That this is going to be a long term....
Sydney!!
Yay
But paying this Friday...
Not so yay.........
>.<
But nonetheless.
I have practiced! That means, that I spent hours on end looking at a piece of paper with lots *and lots!!!* of little dots on it, moving my spiders close to the speed of light.
Damn. I meant fingers. But it shall now be known, that I move my spiders close to the speed of light,
For editing to this blog, is like flying is to a donkey:
Highly unlikely, unless of course you have some sort of cannon.
And I don't have a cannon, so I don't think any editing shall be done.
It's all authentic people, except for a few teensy-tiny things that (seeing as you guys never read this blog anyway) probably won't be noticed.
Of course,
I do regret being so booorring in the beginning of the blog.
Actually
I think the ENTIRE blog is a bit boring actually.
I think it's because the blog's all about me. Mm. That'd explain the lack of funthings/goodthings happening in my life.
*looks through entirety*
Actually,
Over the course of the 1st term, I think I've become much more wise, and old.
Not old as in having grey hairs and all that.
I'd like to have grey hair one day. Shoulder-length grey hair, like "John Kleese" or as some of us know him; the "T-Meister" hehehe
Ahh. The French gals cheer me up. Except, occasionally, Cathi - when she bullys me
:S
Who'd of thought that such a scary *"rawr!....sorry"*, tall, incredibly handsome and gruff man such as myself, could be beaten-up/teased/and generally bullyed by somebody who's almost half their height, and not exactly that scary, would happen?
Obviously
I'm too much of a softie for women.
If any GUY tried that, he'd be running down the street screaming incoherently from the almighty wrath of Councillor Joe!!!
RAWR!
*Misty barks and demands to be petted*
*The Almighty And Powerful Councillor Joe obeys tout de suite*
Cute. >.<
Do you guys know what I'm NOT looking forward to in the next 10 weeks of hell?
Life tech.
And English, and exams. But that goes unsaid.
But yes.
Life tech is only slightly less interesting than watching two very flat rocks race each other. And that's only the in-class bit.
During the physical side...
*shakes head and laughs*
As IF they're going to get ME into wearing a b'y sports uniform. lolol. For the last 3 Life Tech lessons, I was either sitting outside the sports office "writing lines" (ie, listening to iPod under lengthy hair/constructing emotional and long-winded arguments speaking against the oppression of sports teachers (lol, they enjoyed that one)/or I was doing that really stupid questionaire which that Mr Harmes/whatever guy wanted us to do.
Sheesh.
Of course, don't take me as the guy who dislikes physical activity/a pansy,
Or you'll end up a head shorter when I come into your Cooking class/whatever.
I've done more riding than you bunch of girls would ever do in your lifetime!! And I'm part of a musical band!
As the ever-wise and Hello Kitty-loving Ms T says, playing a musical instrument is b'y hard physical stuff!! lol, of course she didn't use "b'y" or even "bloody".
She prob'ly used a lot nicer, less politically-incorrect word, like "Daisys" or something like those John-Howard-lapdogs use. Pfft.
If you didn't know, I don't like Johnny-boy that much.
Neither do I like George Bush, because he's a bluh'ey war-mongerer, and an idiot.
Of course, I don't like that Wossname guy...Mike...not Mike Myers buuut... Mike-......Moooores or something.
Anyway,
My parents are yelling at me for somethingorother reason.
From the incoherent shouts being hurled across the dining table, I think it's got something to do with me.
Just a guess,
But I think that it's pretty precise.
*waits till parents go away*
Why is it that parents don't mind long hair on a girl
Yet they're violently opposed to guys having long hair?
I mean, it's anything but unmasculine. Of course, those model guys don't exactly reinforce my arguments.
But for goodness sake, it's perfectly fine. As long as you clean it. *shudders* Just thinking about dreadlocks.....eugh. Do you have ANY idea how aaawwwful it would be to have full-on dreadlocks? Like those damn arrogant and childish *mutters mutters mutters* "beach-boys" *negative tone* have? Grrr. And eugh. All the little animals....and you'd never be able to get rid of it! Unless you shaved it all off!!
*instinctively clutches man-tail (note here: I am very slightly opposed to it being called a pony-tail, for that reinforces the idea in other people that I'm efeminite, because the word "pony" draws connotations of little saddle-club girls, prancing through the paddock holding hands. So, I use (occasionally, whenever anybody presses the topic of it being a pony-tail) "man-tail". It doesn't conjure any ideas of femininity, just the idea that I'm a complete fool. Which is fine. Better than being called girlish..Aaaaanyays)*

Grrr.
Anyways,
I've got to go (stupid parents)

Not pessimistic/depressed/tired etc etc at alll.

Dang they're actually great musicians! Especially that awesome guitar guy in "Winners".
That's soooo cute/awesome

Aw m'gosh! I actually thought of something!
Blackadder!! Yessss...I can come, dressed as a character from the big ol' funny series!
Yess.
Now that I have a wide selection, who should I pick?
Dang being a woman would be useful at the moment. The Queenie character is so good! So god-damn funny! Ahh. Definitely my favourite reacurring character.
Male character eh?
Perhaps that Commander/General guy from the final series??
lolololol, he's so British :P
"We've come up with a new plan Blackadder. One that's sure to advance the English line, and overrun the enemy!" "Would this plan sir, involve thousands of men climbing over the trenches with empty guns, and moving very slowly towards the German lines?" "Who told you that?!"
lol
Or at least something along those lines
I don't think I could pass-off as Baldrick and his cunning plan lines. :P
Well
At least I have something to look-forward to, eh?
Oh dear..
I think its time to watch that clip again...
Sorry 'bout this post guys! Just, in essentiality, writing to myself.
I mean, more often-than-not, it's the only way I can get an intelligent conversation round these parts >.<

What is it about a nice, hot shower that makes you feel so revitalized?
Perhaps it's the fact that you feel clean.
Mebbe
Mebbe it's just because it does, which I'm inclined to believe because this time of night is not the sorta time to start heated philosophical debates about showers (shower! lolol French class)
Yess. Indeeeedy.
You guys know what?
I like the comics you get in the newspaper.
Especially the "Zits" series ^^ ^^
lolol
A growing male teenager can draw soooo many connections to his life from that.
:P
Have you guys ever wondered what the world would be like today if the British hadn't won the WW1?
I mean, don't think just about the -ve effects of the loss.
But where would we be scientifically?
It's an interesting thought.
At this point, our science has sort of ground to a relative halt, when compared to previous years.
However,
That's because we've ALREADY discovered ALL the really important stuff-
Well, most of it-
That's beneficial to mankind.
If, say, Germany had won the war,
Then I don't think that the world would be quite anywhere near the level that we've achieved to date.
I mean,
WAR technology would have advanced,
But we wouldn't of discovered all these really nifty things like atom-smashers aaand these really cool computer programs that we have now.
But of course, this is all irrelevant to the current situation we ARE in! lololol
I can't wait until we go to Sydney! ^^
It shall be funs, except for Sheperd's Hey, but I can play the opening 4 bars of the really hard bit! Almost up to speed as well!!
And that's saying something.
Of course, after that, I have to take a really really deep breath in like, .0000005 seconds, so that the speed doesn't slow-down, and then my fingers lock-up, and I just end up playing a random collection of notes until I hit the Eb! Eb! Eb! Eb-D-C-Bb-C bit, which is easyeasyeasy.
lol
If I was playing the flute part, I'd have to play bloody 3rd octave Bb and Ab!! o_O
*mutters*.....with her stupid practice, and her stupid flute...kill 'er *mutters mutters*
Ahem. ^^.....
Don't look at me like that! I'm not mad! When the trees talk to me, I don't talk back!!!
Ahahahahahahaha!...
....

Signing off,

What was that? You want to hear moooorre about this stupid essay!

2006-04-29T16:49:00.000+08:00

I thought you guys did! Seeing as you all looooovve English.
...
Well then again, I s'poooosse that some of you guys(gals) might like English, and you're all allowed to have your own opinions.
Except on two things ("My blog, my rules! No running around the pool! What pool!!?!? This one!!! ...Yes I know that's only an open/close brackets with a zero in the middle. No running around it!!!.....")
1) Philip is a rat.
2) Physics is cool and the funnest subject in the world (except for people who heatedly debate on Drama/Maths/Music, because those ARE in afterthought, somewhat fun....although not as fun as finding an equation to everything!!!! And no. It's NOT (as much as I'd like it to be....) "7 x 6= 42". It's got somethingorother to do with "String Theory", because that's rising up in the scientific debates again..)
Yes.
Physics is prob'ly my funnest subject.
I'm actually good at it! And I'm ahead! I could tell you guys almost alllll about sound frequencies and waves and yadayadayada, and we're not SUPPOSED to be learning it until 3rd term.
But
It's good to be prepared for any of those stupid "Muahahaha! Suprise investigation!!"-tests that Mr Dyer (howeveryouspellisname) gives out every-now-and-then.
..
I've been reading this book (if you're new to my online train-of-thought, then don't worry about how I might suddenly chan- ooh! Look! Misty's running around!!!...*watches for a bit*)
and it's called
*thinks*
*looks*
*easier*
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon,
And I'm finding it's style reaaally interesting.
It's about an (assumed from my point of view) autistic 15 year-old boy, with a photographic memory, and- oh dear.. it's getting a bit morose >.<,
*sighs*
But I s'pose that's the style that most books are written nowadays *sighs again*
People have finally started to realise that perhaps the world isn't such a wonderful, beautiful place afterall.
But they needn't go-on about it so. Really. So what?? TRY and have a bit of fun. Don't make everybody (mainly me) feel bad about it!
Movies are fun.
I think
That I shall go see some of those new animated films when they come out.
They're cute, and funny. Not boring or morose or action-packed (at least the majority of them aren't)
Oh dear again.
I think that this isn't cordial....
*analyzes glass* *bangs head on table*
Stupid parents....why did they go and bloody remove the bloody lable!??!
*sighs again*
Okays.
So much for me being responsible :P
Seey'all later

Signing off,

yawns Well. I'm tired

2006-04-28T21:18:00.000+08:00

How 'bout you guys? And remember, I use that in the broadest sense possible ,even discluding gender..social class.....race ..you ARE human aren't you? Then again. You never know when Inspector Rex (dang that dog's so cute and smart. lol. Huge german-sheperd doing "play dead" is bound to be cute lol)
Anyways,
I returneth from a tiringeth couple of dayseth, if you know what I mean..
*groans*
I HATE English. Grrrr. All those stupid little ideas dance around your head. Prancing mischieviously and chanting "Jo-seph can-not geeeet- meee! La la laaa laa laaaaaa laaaaa!"
I want to bash them with this stupid essay-writing computer until they resemble a squashed-pear shaped mush!!! Why did I choose pears!?!? Because for some damned reason they're on my mind!!! I haaaaate English damnit....
*sighs*
At least I've almost finished...
Or so I thought!!!!
Until I bloody decided to read over the essay so-far...
...
*sobs*
I have had a lot of editing done....
WHY DO I WAFFLE!!?!?!?!? WHYYYYY???
And I'm not talking about those tasty, pastry things you get in packets of 5/whatever.
WHYYYYY!?!??!?!
I think
That it's because they all hate me.
It's the only conclusion I can draw. That, and some italian people REAAALLY need to learn some English.
Eugh.
I'm sooooo tired. Why? It's because I've been working allllll day. Not work work. But studying/doing-English-essay work + 4-hour shift at end of day + 3 hours of more English work.
And that manager of mine also must've hated me ("They're all in on it, aren't they Mr ChemistryBook?...what? I was so right!! Fine. That's it! You're against me too!!") because she forgot about me completely, and I didn't get a precious tea-break, which was needed at that time of the day for caffeine-eat/drinkingness. Have you ever *stupidly* tried to EAT coffee before? I have, when I was younger. It tasted really disgusting.
Yes. As I was sayiinggg,
Where was I? Oh yes. The secret organisation of everybody ("Including you, Mr ChemistryBook! Or should I say, 'TEEQuestions'!?!?!!??!.....") being against me.
That's right.
Yes. And being tired.
*groans a bit more*
Why does the time pass ever faster,
When you actually have the time to have fun?
It has something to do with the speed of light. That, and mass increasing/decreasing or something.
But,
I believe that I need some caffeine to reorganise my jumbled thoughts.
*proceeds to carry out task of caffeine-getting* *drinks*
Ok.
Where should I start?
How about over here? Seems good enough. Ok again. I,
Have done almost all of my homework. Ok. That's good. Nice inclusion of facts, but no intertexualising. However, by remaining focussed, I HAVE showed my understanding of the concepts raised by the syllabus to a higher extent....what syllabus you ask me? That one over there. The bus over there which has "Sylla" written all over it.
Aha. Ahee. Oh. I'm so funny *member of audience shoots himself to prevent further pain*
Yes. Now what point I wanted to make clear to said audience, has completely gone over the top of my head. Funny that, seeing as I'm over 6'2". It'd have to jump pretty high. Then again, it could've been fired from a cannon, so I'll give that a miss.
I think
That women should be more assertive in their opinions of people
Sure, as a clever movie defines, high-heel shoes ARE probably an invention by man to make a woman's ass look larger/smaller (whatever it said at the time, don't press the topic because I don't really care which one looks better. If a man's going to be looking at a woman's ass, its because she's walking away mate), and it aides in the prevention of a womans' escape.
However,
Stilletos (?) have one naaaasssty aspect about their creation, that perhaps men overlooked at the time. The item in question is quite sharp, and brands are to be known that , at the point, to exert the equivilant of an elephant's foot over a small surface area when used in kicking (ie, goes into floor. Haven't said what was in the way of the floor if you know what I mean)
So.
If you gals want to have a - Whatever you gals call it - "girl's night out", then make sure at least one member of the party is wearing close-to an equivilant of the above brand.
This acts as both a protection device (much more reliable than those darn tazers and whatnot), and increases your (as the movie suggests) attractiveness to men! How about those cards on the table eh? And if you don't like the guys who are attracted, then you also have a more efficient way of deterring their interests!
Anyways,

I am utterly, and completely (yes, I know those mean the same things...) exaaauuusted. I don't even know WHY I'm still up.
And I've got to be at work by 10 tomorrow for a measly 4-hour shift, and then I'll prob'ly do a bit more editing + possibly some conclusion for that English essay.
So not much funs this holidays.
And then guess what....
SCHOOL!
Oh don't you just lllooooovve life? I sure as hell don't!
Seey'all later guys and gals!

Helloooooss!

"Bon soir monsieur, et c'est-ce que vous desirez ce soir?"
"Euughhh...je...voudrais.....de soupe l'oignion? Et, le...erm...veuo....??"
"No! Don't choose that! Everybody else chose that. Choose the steak. Go on. You know you want to..Choose it. Choose it!!"
"Erm. Ook.... I- I mean, je voudrais le.....steak...."
...
:P
So much for getting 70s in French! lololol
It's probably because he was scary...
lolol
"Pretty sure Joe's afraid of everything now. Mainly buses and beaches. Watch out Joe!"
Yes.
The buses and beaches are everywhere....
I'll have to hide under the bed with a "can of tomatoes" lest the evil bus-drivers decide that my time has come.
lol
Gotta love the French girls.
They're all so funny! ^^
Especially Emma and Cathi....lmao
They're crazy! together.
At least the sense of formalnessness in the people sitting around us kept them mooostly in-line...
Except for Miffy's comments about the 'whores' and various comments about the angry guy.
lolol
Ahhh. Girls are fun. And I don't mean it in that sense you dirty minded readers *tut-tut*
I mean to talk to. They've got ORIGINAL conversations! Omg! Whereas with boys (I'm sure I've said this a few times) it's aaaallways "blah blah blah ninjas. Blah blah blah girls. Blah blah blah guns". Eugh. So boring.
I had soupe de l'oniogn or however damn "onion" 's spelt in damn French.
And I haad this really cool steak. Which was really nicely cooked, and it had this wine + herbs sauce that would've really gone well with a nice mello merlot or cabernet, but it was a school discount thing, so it was fine enough as it was.
Of course, I DID want the veal. But the waiter/chef/owner dude was like "No! You shall have, the steak! Or I vill stab you in your jjug-ew-laarr"...lol, not the last bit of course, but you get the general gist of it.
And Miffy and Emma had parfait! With a random piece of kiwi fruit, which had a flaming sugar cube on it...
No. I was not talking about the sugar cube in derogatory terms. It was actually on fire.
Which rendered both the sugar, and kiwi fruit inedible (they must've used some sort of lighter fuel o_O)
And there was this funny sugary thing that sticked up in the air! And then we had cups of tea/coffee!
And then we talked about "wet" and "dry" deals. Something to do with planes.
lolol, me Emma and Laura were almost choking with laughter while THAT conversation was going on ^^.
Yeah
I had a good night out as you can tell. With the French girls + teacher + husband of teacher aka "John Kleese" :P
("Jules" and "the T meister" lololol)
Out to the french restaurant in... Nederlands, Stirling Highway 145, the La Cascade Restaurant?
Pretty sure.
And yes. Lots of fun and catching up.
:'(
I don't want to go back to school on Tuesday!! I have an early bloody start as wel!!!!! *Sobs*
I haven't gotten ANY holidaying done yet (ie, sleeping in past 8:00 (look at what school has done to me!! LOOK AT MEEE!!!....ahem), and going out with friends every day until I get sick of going out whereapon I stay in my bedroom practicing the gui-taarr), it's all been stupid "Coral Bay" trip (we didn't even bloody end up in Coral Bay....grr), two socialising nights (Sat-deey and too-deey) and ho-bloody-omework.
*humph*
Why is it
That time seems to fly past JUST before you start having fun, and then suddenly there's no time at all for fun, and it's back to work for you?
I put it down to (a) we've all gone mad
(b) It's a consipiracy (lol. Had to be said)
(c) It's the witches!!!! "Burn her! Burn her!" "A duck!!" lolol
If you read Wyrd Sisters- Terry Pratchett, you'd understand why time flying past is possibly their fault.
It could be possible.
I mean, if suddenly, the world was accelerated up to the speed of light (in a split-second), and then the time in the rest of the universe FLASHES by, and then the world resumes it's normal speed a "split-second" (ie, in "it's time") later.
Suddenly, you find that either (a) You haven't been paying attention to what's been happening in the sky lately or (b) Overnight, the universe HAS aged billions of years while you slept :P

But yes.
I was merely hoping to express my happiness and joy of going out this night.
Now my hopes and dreams are dampened as I look at the scruffy work of my English essay all over the table.
*sigh* Have to get that done before tomorrow night....and I have a 5-hour late-shift tomorrow night at Coles...
*sobs*
I must have more socialising done by the end of the holidays!! A total of *tops* 5 hours isn't enough for a growing, ridiculously good-looking young man such as myself!
Not enoooouuugh!!!!!!!!

*dragged off to bed by grumpy woken parents ("Noooooooooooo!!!")*
Byes!

Signing off,

Prepare....to be bore-red!! Muhahaha!

2006-04-25T16:54:00.000+08:00

Yes.
I'm feeling particuarly evil this not-so-fine afternoon,
So I shall bore thee! With schoolwork!
Old schoolwork mind, so don't go thinking you can go using it for your current studies.
You'll probably be wanting to use that nifty rolly thing device while you're ahead, if you don't feel like being bore-red. Then again, seeing as you're actually on this blog, you must be bloody bored.
So! To borering!
I'm going to talk to you guys/gals/whatever about some song lyrics, and I'm going to analyze them!
You see, last year (as some of you may remember) we had to analyze some song lyrics as an oral assignment.
So, as you do, I almost completely forgot about it until a day before it was due.
Up until that point, I had only written out the lyrics...from memory....
So, I had work to do!
The morning of the presentation, I had finished!!
...writing out the lyrics properly....
>.<
Soooooo, when the teacher called me up to do my speech (somehow, I managed to be first....)
all I had was some sheets to hand around the classroom, and my own copy in front of me....
What did I do?
Certainly not give up!
While I played the song (Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers btw), I desperatly thought of something that the song was talking about, and then when Ms-bloody-Andrade (note: her name wasn't actually Ms-bloody-Andrade. It was just Ms Anrade. Now that I think about it, wasn't her name spelt funnily? Meh) motioned me to start,
I did my best improvisation still to date!!
I ended up with an 85% for that assignment as well ^^. The only reason I lost marks was because I didn't have any palm cards visible....I thought that was a good thing :P, but I wasn't going to argue with the best mark I've gotten in Upper School English lolol.
Yes.
So lets see if I can remember the jist of the presentation.....
Otherside- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Chorus:
How long, how long will I slide?
Seperate my side..
I don't believe it's bad..
Slittin' my throat, it's all I ever..
Vs#1:
I heard your voice through a photograph,
I thought it up, it brought up the past.
Once you know, you can never go back,
I've gotta take it on the otherside..
Vs#2:
Centuries are what it meant to me,
A cemetary where I marry the sea,
Stranger things could never change my mind,
I've gotta take it on the otherside.
Take it on....take it on..

Chorus
Vs#3:
Pour my life into a paper cup,
The ashtray's full, and I'm spillin' my guts.
She wants to know if I'm still a slut,
I gotta take it on the otherside.
Vs#4:
Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed.
A candidate for my soul mate bled.
Push the trigger and pull the thread,
I've gotta take it on the otherside.
Take it on the otherside.
Take it on...take it on...

Chorus

*change in riff of song. Bass solo*
Vs#5
Turn me on, take me for a hard ride.
Burn me out, leave me on the otherside.
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend,
I tear it down, I tear it down but then it's born again
*back to original riff with guitarist carrying on 2nd riff sorta*

How long, how long will I slide?
Seperate my side...
I don't. I don't believe it's bad,
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever had.
I don't....I don't believe it's sad.
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever....
* * *
Right. Okies.
Where do I start?
Okay. I took the purpose of this song to be talking about the issue of suicide, and the singer was relating the issue back to himself.
The "otherside" that the singer keeps on talking about could easily be taken as talking about the afterlife, or wherever souls etc may go after one dies.
How is it talking about suicide you may ask.
Well, in Vs#1, he's adressing an assumed unseen and individual who's passed away recently.
I also took this passed away individual as a deceased loved one as well. But yes. "I heard your voice through a photograph" is the singer saying that he's been looking at the photos of when the individual was still living, and he's 'heard' or imagined he's heard the voice of his loved one speaking from the otherside. He then goes on to acknowledge that he imagined it ("I thought it up..") and speaks of how it must've conjured perhaps painful memories of the time they spent together ("...it brought up the path..."). He then goes on to say that he's had enough of this occuring, or he's had enough of painful memories and there's no turning back from his decision to take it onto the otherside ("Once you know, you can never go back....").

Vs#2 goes on to accentuate this point of memories with it's opening line "Centuries are what it meant to me..". He's implying that during the time that the deceased (whom I will now refer to as loved one) individual spent with him, although it may of only lasted a short material time, it lasted so much longer in his mind. Implying that perhaps a few mere years with her seemed to be centuries of qualities. This allows the reader to see that he is really missing her presence, and his thoughts are drifting to suicide to release the pain and/or reunite with her again (The phrase "..marry the sea.." can be taken as drowning oneself, as you are in a way, embracing the water forevermore). He says that his mind is as set as it could be, and there's no changing his mind ("Stranger things could never....") . And then he repeats to emphasise his point, that he must take it onto the otherside. The chorus following once again emphasises this idea, and also acts as a point to tie all the different song parts together. We'll come to the actual chorus bit later.

The third verse opens with the singer revealing his depressedness and lack of self-image. "Pour my life into a paper cup" is him saying you could pour his entire worth of existence, into a small, worthless, disposable, cheap thing, that's sort of pathetic and more likely to be thrown out than not. He talks of the ways he's currently trying to solve the problem, which are the usual male ways: Drinking alchohol, smoking, doing drugs ("My ashtray's full, and I'm spillin' my guts"), and perhaps "She wants to know if I'm still a slut" implies that he's trying new relationships to get his mind off his deceased loved one? I wasn't too sure with that line...I left it out in the talk :P lol. Once more, he ties the verse in at the end, speaking of the 'otherside'.

The second-to-last verse talks of his failed new love attempts ("A candidate for my soul mate...") and how they fail to deter his mind from his suicidal thoughts ("Push the trigger"- shooting oneself, and "Pull the thread" on oneself is a slang way of saying to hang oneself).
I can't remember too much of what I said on this verse, so I'll leave it there for you guys to attempt if you're REALLY bored lol.

The final verse is very emotional, with the singer sort of throwing the words out to the listener.
"Turn me on, take me for a hard ride. Burn me out, leave me on the otherside " implies that the singer has given up. He's taken to drugs in a desperate attempt to lose these sad and dangerous feelings. He's also half-hoping that he'll "burn-out" or OD on something and end up dying in a sort of blissful way. But then he finally tries to take a stand in his feelings ("I yell and tell it that it's not my friend"), making the suicide and drugs issue to be a menacing figure or monster. But then suddenly he finds it's not so easy to ignore the pain, and he's developed an addiction to drugs, saying that no matter how many times he tries to ignore it or go "cold turkey", it rises up again from (lol) the otherside, to plague his life. ("..but then it's born again")

The second last repetition of the chorus reveals what he's been thinking from the beginning, and implies that this is the present. He's tried hard, but he doesn't believe that suicide is a bad way to go (which believe me kiddos, it is! It's like drugs, except worse. *not-so-wisely nods*), and he repeats it's all he "ever had..", and that it was almost fate deciding his...erm...fate :P.

But yeah.
That was my 4-minutes-to-decide approach on the lyrics.
He could easily be talking about say, just drugs, or relationships, or sex or alcohol or a vast number of other things.
I don't
Think he's talking about Skittles...which I happen to have a packet of right now, yay....hm. I feel like some Pringles actually. I think I shall pester the parents to have really unhealthy take-away tonight, despite the work I've been doing with SuperSize Me in this stupid English essay.
lol
It made me feel hungry, not awful. But it DID fortify my views on powerful corporations. *tut-tut powerful corporations*
:P
Anyways,
Enough borering!!
Look! It's a salt shaker! I shall go and contemplate the meaning of life now that I have found the true representation of God (ie: He's probably got stuff inside him. We should use Him to help in the preperation of spaghetti bolonais, and there isn't a detailed map of Australia on the bottom of each God. If you do attempt to find a detailed map, your eyes shall burn forever more, or until you get the image/Salt out of your eyes)

Ouch...
That was preeetty stupid :P
I couldn't help it. I feeling in the mood to do something. Something! I'm soooo bored....
Anyways.
Yes.
I certainly did bang my head...on the wall...really hard...I think I'll stop talking now...
*rubs head* Damn that was stupid. Almost as stupid as trying to bellyflop into the ocean from 10kms up. But, luckily for my well-being, I don't think that I ever have, nor will experiment with that.
Because I'd die. Quite horribly....>.<, but could you imagine how much it would hurt? Ouch...
lol
Of course it's completely irrelevant from anything to do with life.
That's how a lot of our conversations in phsyics go on.
We are listening intently to Mr D talking about somethingorother, then we get bored and we talk about something that BAAARELY relates to the topic we're studying.
Such as Impulse (F/ti right? :P). And that's how the topic of bellyflopping into the ocean from a plane arose.
Of course I don't know how our invention of the new martial art Bo-Tie arose.....anyways,
Yes. Bo-Tie!! It's the new thing guys! You don't get belts like any of the other practices. You get a bow-tie!! coloured in the level of your grade! lol. And once you reach the equivilent of black-belt, you get a hat! And what about all that geeky getup you ask? Well, you have formal wear!! lolol. Of course, nobody but the inventors (Joe, Josh and Alicia) seem to be interested in it....
*sighs*
It's just like me and girls. It's 'bound to happen one day!
lol
Anyways,
I don't know what I'm even creating this post. I s'pose it's an attempt at procastination in the finishing of my English essay...
*sighs*
Once more into the breach!!! Roar!

I, am currently quite soaking wet...
Why? No. I didn't try and swim my way to Kenya. That's scheduled right here- see? Just under the heading "60- Should've gone mad by now"
No.
This was a different type of madness.
As most mornings start out, I woke up. The reason I say 'most', is because sometimes I can't get to sleep for various reasons; homework, thoughts, caffeine, etc etc.
After I woke up, there was nobody at home.....and nobody was answering their phones when I was calling them to find out where the tea's dissapeared off-to.
So, I assumed they'd all gone out. I was free to do what I wanted! But unfortunatly, all I wanted at the time was a nice cup of tea, which was being denied to me by otherworldly forces.
Grumpily, I quickly wrote a note and left it on the kitchen bench, and then went off for a ride at a jolly 8:45am in the morning.
It seemed quite cheerful outside. I should go riding early in the morning more often.
So, I'm just peddlin' along right, when suddenly, there's a tapping on my shoulder....then on my back...and on my other shoulder and head...all at the same time!
It started....to RAIN!! Eep! Cover! So I was desperatly trying to find SOMEWHERE to hide myself and my bike out of the rain, which was steadily increasing in power. Eventually, I came to Carine shopping centre, and nobody shoved me out of their hiding spots when I occupied them.
I was wet enough at the time, feeling quite hunted, as the rain only appeared when I wanted to start going back home. But I couldn't leave my bike outside and go inside, because I'd left my bloody lock at home!! Argh. So I'm just sitting on my bike, against a wall waiting for the rain to die down. It didn't. For over half-an-hour. I certainly wasn't "Singin' In The Rain". So, seeing as there wasn't any sign of a let-up in the distance, I decided I might as well try and reach that bunch of shops on the edge of the Beach and Greenwood roads....I should've stayed.
Absolutely SOAKING wet by the time I reached those, I was at risk of wetting my phone and iPod which were in my various pockets. So, I hunkered down out of the wind with my bike, quickly rushed in (after drying out a bit :P) to buy a sausage roll and caramel slice, and then bunkered in.....
It was a long time before the rains stopped...
Parents weren't too pleased with me when I came back either......
But yes.
What was I going to talk to you guys about today? Well. I could talk to you about this..thesaurus. It..is a book...which has lots of words in it...
Yes. There we go. Hope you feel enlightened and/or inspired by my deep and meaningful insights into this seemingly simple object.
English essays are very difficult in my opinion....even if they're easy topics.
I've FINALLY written up my first three paragraphs as best as they can be. >.<>Joe Cinque's Consolation test. Grr. I'm reading that darn book again, because most of the middle is just a big blur for me...it's so goddamn BORING! Argh. First chapter/Intro to the book= Intriguing and hooks the reader.
But then it doesn't reel the reader in. It just leaves the rod attatched to a rock somewhere, and goes off to have a beer while the reader waits patiently for something to happen.
I wonder what the new courses for English are like? They're going to be based on outcomes....lol, good luck to those kids doing it I'll just say, if their outcomes system is like anything I've ever experienced :P
Anyways,
I ask myself. What-
Is the best way to live your life?
Always thinking of the past, and the mistakes you've made?
Living only for the future, keeping your eyes set on long-distance goals?
Keeping your head in the present, appreciating what you have at the moment, and only using the past and future as guides to your present?
I seriously don't know. It's good to remember the mistakes or awful occurances of the past, so that you do not make those mistakes again-so you make sure you don't suffer again.
It's also good to have your mind set on those long-distance goals you have in mind. You have something to work towards, and to keep you pushing yourself off the ground and keep going.
But I find that the best way to live life, as I've found it anyway, is relatively in the present.
Sure, take note of the awful occurances/mistakes of the past, and I sorta have a blurred vision of the future.
But in most aspects of life, I only look at the now rather than in the then or when lol. It's much easier to take it as it comes. I feel it's better to just try the absolute best you can in anything you have to do. But meh. I usually end up with a 65-70% anyway hehe.
Unless of course it's English...
That's one thing I should be worrying about the far future and how that's going to turn out.
I've GOT to get a good mark in this current essay....seeing as it's quite heavily weighted, if I get an alright enough mark, it should drag my average up to an achievable level. A level where I can actually hope about passing lol
And then it's hard work from there....*sighs*
Never stops does it?
Still. Positive Thoughts!
Once I finish this essay and my final chem set, I shall have finished all the homework given to me over the holidays! At least I'm pretty sure I have.......*scratches head* I have a bad feeling that I've forgotten something that was quite important and needed to be done over the holidays......hrmmm......not good.
Whenever you get those feelings, no matter little, pay heed!!! You're always right......
Anyways,
At least I haven't had to do as much homework as poor Kat has had to do...o_O, respect goes there.

But finally, after much boring you to death, I have finally managed into convincing the Gods into giving me my precious tea-box back! Yays.
Off to blissful ignorance!!

Top Songs!

2006-04-24T20:08:00.000+08:00

Bah! I'm bored, and my last awsome topic just flew right out of my head because www.blogspot.com was being homosexually tendent, so I'll settle my grumpiness upon an easier topic, and then come back to the other one next time my brain can take re-writing it.
So.
Yes.
Top songs!
I'll give ye a list of my favs. I'll try my best to keep it below 20, so it doesn't become a recital of all the bands' repetoires :P lol
Sos, right into it!
(note: no order of favouriteness. I might edit this post again at a later date, although it would probably be irrelevant :P)
1. Bat Out of Hell- Meatloaf
Damn this is a good song. I love the build-up to the solo in the Heaven Can Wait version. So cool. The reason this is first is because this is what I'm listening to at the moment :P
2. (Baby I've Got You) On My Mind- Powderfinger
lol. Classic. Everybody knows it, I'm sure. Good stuff.
3. Come As You Are- Nirvana
4. Don't Panic- Powderfinger
Seriously, this is the good-stuff. Really up-beat song, sort of bouncing along to the main riff, with these two almost constant solos from the other two guitars goin' along. Ahh.
5. Fear Of The Dark- Iron Maiden
Very cool. I'm sure all you metal fans know this song, or you should. Really good light riff intro, followed by a killer of a song. At least on the version that I have :P
6. Fire And Rain- James Taylor
*sighs* It's a sad song :(, so it's not for all occasions. But really, in essentiality, it's a great piece :S.
7. Hotel California- Eagles
o-m-g, this is SUCH an AWESOME song (see? I even spelt 'awsome' correctly!) This is the stuff that I was brought up on. I didn't even HEAR any of that poop/rap dirt until I hit Year 7! Ahh.
8. Lady D'Arbanville- Cat Stevens
Really sad song if you know the story behind it. *sniffs* Really. It's touching.
9. Love Your Way- Powderfinger
*sniffs again* Stupid music....bah. This is a great piece. Anything that gets me emotional has got to be god-damn good music in my opinion.
10. My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama- Frank Zappa
Another brought-up-with. lol. So cool. Actually, now that I think about it, if Ms T can get a decent guitarist, then the jazz band SHOULD be able to play it...that would be awsome, especially if Mark/David are pretty good at singing, which I hear they are.
12. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You- Led Zeppelin
Beautiful song. Nothing else can be said...
13. Nothing Else Matters- Metallica
Same thing. Really beautiful, which builds up to a soulful climax, and then drops down to a quiet finish.
14. Pretty Maids All In A Row- Eagles
*sniffs* Really great song. *sighs* Eagles really are awsome guys. Well. 'Were', I s'pose. But nonetheless. Minor detail in music....
15. Otherside- Red Hot Chili Peppers
I did quite a detailed lyrical analysis of this last year, so I became quite fond of it. Actually, I haven't listened to it for a while, so that's on my to-do list tonight.
16. Saving The Population- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ahh..these guys have mastered a really complicated multi-melody riff pattern in both their vocals AND their instruments to create this piece. Great work.
17. Rockin' Rocks- Powderfinger
Thank the distinct-lack-of-Gods for a relatively happy song (see, I'm listening to each of the songs on my iPod to decide which one's the best. I've got way too many stupid sniffing-songs...)
Really awsome band. Seriously, I think the chorus is the best part of the song. The harmonies their voices+guitars create is wonderful. Of course, the rest of the song is great too :P
18. The Greatest View- Silverchair
Once again. I did a detailed project on this song earlier in highschool, so I became really fond of it.
19. Victim Of Love - Eagles
Kaw. You've got to love the electric guitar. This song is one of the reasons the elec guitar was created, I swear.
20. Sunsets- Powderfinger
Really cool song. You guys MIGHT know it, even if you're not a Powderfinger-listener (lol) as they released a video-clip. *huffs haughtily* That's the only way you kids hear good music nowadays. If it releases a good enough videoclip, otherwise it wouldn't reach your pop radio channels.

Ahh. My french correspondant...

2006-04-24T19:31:00.000+08:00

My french pal'o "Loic" and I were chatting (well, as best as we could online ^^ lol) just the other day, and we struggled to bring/brought up (depending on how you look at it lol) the topic of God etc.
I was baasically saying that it's a load of wossname, which I might only start actually practicing when I'm old and had enough of annoying the hell out of young'uns.
He was basically agreeing, but he somewhat believes in it. Although not to any extent others do.
He brought up the quote of " "Why me?" you ask Me. Because I'm God! That's f-ing why!!"
Which I find absolutely hilarious, because although his grasp on our language is not as powerful as yours' or mine *rofl, damnit. I don't even bother spelling 'awsome' correctly! lololol, don't get me started on my English mark..*, he still managed to make sense of, and utilise such a powerful and funny quote.
lol
It's true though.
If there was a God, or a bunch of the Old Fellas, then They/He certainly wouldn't bother with all this "saving humanity" and all that dog's-poo.
If there's Any whatsoever, then they wouldn't waste any time at all getting all the 'Lightning-strike' tournaments, 'Planet-Basketball' games and 'Make-A-Virus (On Your Own!)' competions they could before the big finale at the end of the universe, or infinite end of the universe or whatever. You *should* catch my drift.
But yes.
I s'poooooose that there are a few things in life which seem to be coincidences, but when those god-damned (lololol) ID 'experts' go on about how the chances of humans forming in the universe are so small that it has to prove there is a creator, then I say
"How big is the bloody universe you twats!"
Grr.
Makes me grumpy.
I shall have a nice cuppa now. In my opinion, if you don't really believe in it, then don't bother until you've nothing else to do guys. There's much better things in life than religion. Such as this cup of tea.
While religion and all that digested-matter is all debatable,
I think you'd find it very hard to disprove the existence of this cup of tea.
If you could
Then by God *lmao* I would SERIOUSLY look up to you (note: don't try it. It's taken me 3 years to try and convince everyone *mainly me Pa'* that you SHOULD be able to travel faster than the speed of light (~3 x 10^8 ms-1), and I still haven't convinced ANYBODY. So quit while you're even less than ahead is what I say lolol)

Anyways,
Off to my almost-non-debatable-cup-of-tea!

"We're blood brothers! We're blood brothers!"

2006-04-24T13:42:00.000+08:00

...
:P, Just singing the chorus of that old Iron Maiden song (lol. Old. Iron Maiden....sorry, you prob'ly won't get it)
I have to say, that Iron Maiden REALLY is a damn good band.
It's metal, but not any of that heavy drum-crashing, screaming/growling into the microphone stuff,
It's just some damn good musicians who utilise elec. guitar, bass, vocals and drums.
Seriously,
The members of Iron Maiden have SUCH a mastery of the guitar.
Their fingers must absolutely FLY across the fingerboard for some of their pieces.
Especially the soloist.....*sighs* I shamefully admit that I DO occasionally pretend to play the elec guitar along with the band...
Shutup! Or I'll set Misty on you...right. You've had it! Sick 'em Misty!...no.
No Misty. Stop fetching the stick- I mean. Yes Misty! You steal that stick from them! Good girl. No. NOooooo. Don't bring it back. No. Baaad girl.
*sighs*
I have a feeling, that sometimes Misty doesn't respect me...*glares at dog*
Aww. But she's cute. So that makes up for it. Most of the time.
When she steals my shoes at 7:40 on a school morning, I do NOT appreciate it. Grr.
Anyways.
What was I going to lecture you guys about today?
Nothing! Good. Don't do it *tut-tut*..
Hrm.
Months after I took my L-plate permit test thingy, I've actually only had 2 goes at driving!
..
Yes. The first and second time don't really count either, as it was: "Start the car, go. OK STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP!!!" on both occasions.
It's amazing what you can hit in an empty carparck.
So I had my 3RD attempt earlier today,
Which went OK I s'pose.
Just don't go letting me loose on the streets just yet.
Hmm.
I haven't reaaaally been practing my driving skills because I've been more-or-less been practicing my various subjects of school. Mainly Chem....
How can one damned topic be so awful!? *"Now it's the bloody 'd' key that's acting up..where's that hammer I saw earlier?"*
I feel so shamed in it though...
So damned embarrassed, because EVERYBODY in the class *except obviously, myself* seems to have a keen grasp of the subjects being covered, while I'm sweating and struggling to keep my own understanding up-to-date.
And then, despite all my efforts, I'm only really managing to flat-line on a sort of 60ish percent..
..
*"There's a truth beggin' to be told, as the blues grab and take ahold..."*
..
Sorry again. Powderfinger's really damn good as well btw.
But yes. If any of you are having problems such as myself, take a look at this short ad-break...
*advertisement of Councillor Joe and Co. (ie, nobody)* Do you feel that you're struggling to keep up or understand any one of your subjects.
Well fear not. For we have here an invention that shall solve all your problems!
"So Mr. Expert, what are you holding that will help with all those student's problems?"
"I'm holding here a Think Positively book ma'am"
"Really? And how does that work?"
"Well...it helps with the stress and such..."
"Soooo?..."
"You'd have no idea how stressful being an inventionist is...all the pressure and...such..."
"..."
".....Here's my amazing invention! *holds up object* As you can see, it may look like a simple bottle of water...but in actual fact-"
"!"
"-It's a bottle.......of water!!!"
"..."
"Sorry. No inventions are gonna help with your problems kids. It's either you study and do homework or BURN!! BUUURN IN THE FIRES OF LACK-OF-JOB-LAND!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAAA! *runs off stage with hands in air*"
"..."
*and so ends the ad-break*

...
Hmm....yes...

Now for all those little Yr 11s reading this post, analyze THAT ad! I DARE you to find hidden meanings in it! I DARE YOU!

The battlecry that he would never quite forget till the end of his life....

2006-04-22T19:36:00.000+08:00

"Erm....excuse me...."
lololol.
Tonight's just FULL of funny things being said.
For instance,
In that romantic-comedy thingymagig called "She's The Man" (which I finally managed to figure out what it was based on (12th Night- Wossisname...Shakespear? Bah. Too tired to think....), even though it was APPARANTLY shown to the audience at the beginning of the movie. Bah. Usually I don't bother with the fiddly little writey bits. It hurts your head, because the writing's always too small....),
That guy duke...
lmfao
Ahh. He had an even worse pickup/conversation starter than I did (and that's saying something). Although, I have had my bad moments....
Yes.
Anyways,
The movie was pretty good.
Lots of funny bits, which I enjoy in a movie.
I don't bother with those action/romantic/horror/etc etc movies more-often-than-not.
I prefer laughing.Much more fun.
Although I do treat myself from temps de temps with a good, mindless, hack-and-slash action movie, with a bit of really corney/bad romance thrown in without peeling the shell of it.
I should go out more often. Not as in "out" as in "going out riding for 3 hours, and then finding out where the hell I am so I can get back" but as in "out" "going out to various socialisingning places" going out.
...
If that made any sense.
Anyways,
"Do you like......cheese?.."
lmao
It almost made me burst out laughing. Of course it had a reaaaallly corney, smushy romantic scene at the end, where he just HAPPENED to overcome his lack-of-conversation-starting-ability, and ran through this almost-rehearsed (which I s'pose, it was in fact >.<) conversation with the interest girl.
Bah.
Smushy conversations like that ALWAYS involve a lot of "Ummm...."s and "Uhh...."s and "Well/Yeah/Mmm...."s. It's never. Fluent. Is'poseyecouldsay.
Anyways,
I'm not sure it's THE bad pickup/whatever line. I've had a few doozys myself. Quite proud of them actually. Of course, I meant it to be bad....really...I did!! I diiiiid! *sobs* Ahem.
Yes.
Back on topic!
..
What was the topic?
I don't think there was one...
In fact,
I'm not really in the mood for thinking at all....
More of a doing mood. But of course, as happens often around this dreary house, nothing needs doing...
...
Shutupshutupshutup! The homework will get done! It wiiill!
As will practice for band...
Hmm...
Being dragged hundreds of kilometres north didn't really help things...
And now..
I've lost my practice sheets...AGAIN...
Grr.. Just when I've finally pinned them down somewhere, they bloody disappear (had to try spelling that word a few times. Haven't used it for AAAGES :P)
You could almost say...it was a consipiracy!!
lol
No. I shall not bore you with that talk again :P
It's probably my (as my mother calls it) "lack of organisation around the house" and in fact, most places.
I have a very distinct grasp of organisation woman!! Damn them all *room critics*.
I know where *almost* everything is in my room!!!
See! There's my bed. And my iPod. And my guitar.
A teenager doesn't have to have neatness, to have organisation. Although admittedly, I do appreciate having a clean room every-now-and-then (note: my definition of "clean room", implies that I can see the floor at most times).
But bah!
Disorganisation my rear-end....
How dare my mother say that I'm so disorganised, that if I didn't screw my head on I'd lose it.
How dare she!
See! My screws are just there!! Wait a second...one's missing!
Be back when I've found it!

Councillor Joe’s Seven Wonders of the World

2006-04-22T14:37:00.000+08:00

Yay for wonders.
Generally, the word often brings up connotations of various tall/wierdly shaped buildings, and interesting waterfalls.
But the word ‘wonder’ can also be used when talking about cool/intriguing/interesting happenings or things that happen in one’s life.
Also, a wonder is almost always used in a positive manner.
But cannot a wonder also be used to describe a bad, or negative happening in one’s life?
I don’t really care that much.
But anyways,
Because I’m bored out of my mind at the moment,
I have decided to create a tally-ho what-what list of what I think are, in my life, wonders. Or things which are just plain fantastic.
And because I can’t decide on my top seven (the list goes on for ages….it includes, Coke Zero (How do they do it?!!?!), gravity/magnetism (I wonder WHAT it actually is, but none of the teachers actually know….plus you guys’d prob’ly think it’s boring *sniffs*) and yada yada yada. Basically anything that’s vaguely interesting. Such as where do all those missing socks go off to?….),
I’ve decided to make this post a sort of running thing.
I’ll tell you one/mebbe-if-you’re-lucky two of my decided top-seven wonders in the world,
And then I’ll dangle the rest of them just out o sight and say “Muahaha…haha….ha…you’ll have to wait until I've remembered I actually created this post :P”
And then you’ll have to wait till the next one comes ‘round.
Soooooo..
…
Hmm.
Oh and btw,
These prob’ly won’t be in any order, so don’t make any assumptions on what’s first-and-foremost/last on my mind.
Yes.
Hmm…
The first one-der that I shall present to shall be!…….
...
ummm……
...
*looks at Ajax (triple action) Glass cleaner*
…
hmm…no…
……
*clicks tongue*
Just wait for about half an hour. I’ll sit on it. No. I’m not implying that the first wonder is a chair. Or a bed. Although beds ARE pretty cool. But no.
…
*half an hour later*
I’ve got it!
Not really.
Ok. First thing that comes to mind issssssssssss.....
*opens and closes mouth a bit*
It’s!!!!!!….*”ene-mene-mine-mo”* Physics!
Yes.
The nature of the universe, and how all these natural things really happen.
Sometimes, I think it's quite foolish actually.
All these equations which explain everything are based on a number of theories, which simply have evidence pointing towards it being true.
So, in actual fact, our entire system could be utterly and completely wrong!!!
lolol
Imagine the looks on their faces if they found that out...lol
Bet they'd be pissed though....and you can't mess with physic-people! They send nuclear warheads at you....and then mutate your brain into some form of hamster!...
Ahem.
But,
Yes. I think physics is pretty neat if you ask me *"Stupid bloody keyboard. Won't type 'f' properly. Look! There it goes again! Argh...(mutters)*
I mean,
It really fascinates me, all these amazing things that happen, and you can't even see them. Yet, if you visualise what's happening (eg: you visualise the different directions the forces are exterting on an object, and you can predict, accuratly, where it's going to go (ie, where it's going to go. I hate some teachers....well, in fact, pretty much all teachers. But those which don't know the difference between 'accurate' and 'precise' really bug me..:P)) it really does make sense.
Of course,
Some aspects of phsyics really make me pull my hair out.
Such as the fact that scientists have all these bloody theories based on magnetism...
YET THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS!!!
Argh
So irritating.
I've come up with a few theories myself, but they don't fit all the equations. Bloody hell, I don't even know all the equations >.<, so much for that.....
But yes.
I think that when I grow older, and senile, I shall piss off all the scientists in the world by proving what magnetism really is, and making some equations useless....lol
Yes.
Because I feel quite hungry, (I've worked since 8:00 without any breakfast (sorry!! >.<)), I shall go and satisfy my animal instincts, and feed myself.
Fare thee well my children/old people (ie, if you're older than 30. I've got a very definite..um..definition on who's old, and who's not.)!

Why is life so bloody depressing?
I'd normally say it's a conspiracy, but all the heated arguing power in me has gone out,
So I'll just say it's Josh's fault (sorry mate, you're my current official scapegoat)
*nods*
As long as a person doesn't have to blame his or her self, then they'll always feel better.
Bloody humanity.
Hmm.
How to fix such a problem?
*reads Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy for a while*
lol,
Marvin always makes me feel better.
If you think that your life has got to be the worst one of the moment,
Then all you have to do is think of Marvin,
And you'll know you're wrong.
lololol
"I talked at length to the ship's mainframe computer, expressing my views on the entirety of the universe" "And?" "It committed suicide *cue hangs head, and walks off*"
lol
Even I'M not that bad at making conversations with people,
Although I do have trouble getting them started...
You see,
I'm one of those 'quiet' sorta guys.
The type of person who could happily sit in silence (as long as it wasn't awkward), watching a fire for a good hour.
But,
I'm as sharp as a rock! A sharp rock! Not one of those cavemen tool things, I'll give you that. But nonetheless
Significantly sharper than a watermelon!
Unlike some people I could mention...
I often enjoy just listening to people,
And most others don't really appreciate that.
They love the sound of their voices, and they yabber on and on and on, and I just sit and listen, nodding my head and making a comment every now-and-then.
Of course, I do have my talkative moments.
It usually puts people off.
Mebbe
I should do something really outragously strange, like a tattoo.
Have you guys ever thought about getting a tattoo?
Like, seriously. Not just in jest, or to continue a train of conversation.
I'm thinking a ying-yang/japonese calligrophy symbol saying "Life sucks, and then you die" or just the first part or something along those lines.
Of course you have to be careful with calligrophy (is that how it's spelt? *shrugs*)
The tattooist could be in a particuarly evil mood at that point, and he/she (you never know nowadays. After all, guy tattooists have always had the benefits of tattooing girls you-know-what-its, so I'm sure some gals every-now-and-then see the benefits of tattooing a guy's you-know-what :P *shudders* Some people are just straange if they decide to do that sorta thing...)
could tattoo a/some symbol(s) saying "Throw fish at me" or "I'm gay" etc etc.
So I'd have to check up with nuncle first, to make sure I'm getting the right one.
Anyways,
Just needed a stress-release point.
Byes!!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

2006-04-21T12:50:00.000+08:00

I can play "Master of Puppets- Metallica"! And most of "The Call of the Ktulu"!
However,
My fingers have turned a dark shade of green.....o_O
Hopefully, it's the copper (Cu!!.....chem nerd >.<) in the strings, and not that my fingertips have died :P
But yes.
I don't really like Master of Puppets, but it was a hard song to learn (especially on acoustic...),
But The Call of the Ktulu is so cool!!!
Seriously,
Download it if you haven't
Of course I only really like the first 3 minutes or so, because it's such an amazing build up of music (if you listen to the S&M version, you'd see what I mean)
..
Oh I do like my sunnies.
I've just found if I tilt my head just like that, the screen disappears into a black haze...
...
Ahem, music!
Yes.
The acoustic guitar is a must for those would-be rockers out there.
In my opinion (a mon avis- practicing French for homework)
You have to learn the acoustic before you start the electric guitar.
It makes your callouses a lot stronger, first of all.
Secondly...it's just...how it should be >.<, I don't exactly know how to explain it.
And on an almost unrelated topic.
You should learn another 'proper' instrument before you learn either, if you want to be a rocker.
Piano's good. You learn the chords, and the notes you can use in them.
For example,
I learnt the flute first off (gave me an understanding of the different sounds and parts of music)
Then I learnt the harmonica (gave me sort of an understanding of how different chords can be made)
And the piccolo, but that was just an extension on my flute ability. It's really helped me hit those high notes ("..when you hit that hiiiiigh" Wossname by wossisname....sorry again)
Then I started to learn the guitar.
Before I did however, I had a solid musical background, which allowed me to easily throw away the basic stuff, and move onto more complicated theory. Well, tabs at the moment, because I haven't really got the time to memorize all the different notes for all those loathsome evil-chords.
But nonetheless.

Anyways, enough of my ramblings, and I shall ask a question that I haven't for a good time (of course, I haven't got any answers lately either *mutters* (of course, that's because it's a sortof wossname question))...
How y'all goin'?
I hope you've all had fairly good holidays so-far.
It's amazing how evil teachers are; giving thee homework to do over your two-week break, isn't it?
Of course, I've been saying all along that they're daemons from the seventh ring of hell (except for Ms T, 'cause she's cool, and she has a cute dog), but noooooo
You all shake your heads at me, and say "Don't be foolish Joe".
Who was wrong!?! WHO WAS WRONG!?!?!?!
Certainly not me!!! Muahahahahahahaha!!!..
....
Ooh dear...here come the friendly people with the white jackets.
I'll be back! Baack!

More Terry Pratchett quotes!

lolol,
Yays.
He's so god-damn funny!
I looove his books.
I need to get Mort again though....
I don't know where that's gone off to. :P
But yes.
Here are some funny quotes:

Many an ancient lord's last words had been, "You can't kill me because I've got magic aaargh."
- (Rincewind's thoughts on magic armour lolol, Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)

Rincewind could scream for mercy in nineteen languages, and just scream in another forty-four
- (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)

The calender of the Theocracy of Muntab counts down, not up. No-one knows why, but it might not be a good idea to hang around and find out.
- (Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters)

"There must be a hundred silver dollars in here," moaned Boggis, waving a purse. "I mean, that's not my league. That's not my class. I can't handle that sort of money. You've got to be in the Guild of Lawyers or something to steal that much."
(Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters)

"I'd like to know if I could compare you to a summer's day. Because -- well, June 12th was quite nice, and...oh...you've gone...."
(Fool, Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters) lololol, I've got to use THIS line sometime-or-another if I've got no chance lolol

I'll update this soonishly

I've forgotten to blog an important stage in Only C.Joe's Blog!!
But, before I do so post-haste, I have to listen to this song on the radio.
...
*listens to radio*
...
How strange....
...
"Cows With Guns"...
Who'd of thought it?
At least they're not talking about relationships. Good on them.
Anyways,
Back on topic!
I've forgotten to tell you guys that I've written 100 posts!! Omg! Well, technically, it's 106 with this one, but that's irrelevent.
Yes.
omg!
I now, officially, have no social life!
Imagine that...
All those lonesome minutes spent in front of this glowing computer screen, talking about things-well, writing about things....ok. Typing- that really bug me,
And suddenly I've got 100 posts on my hands!
Lucky there's this new dewhacky thingmagig called the "Internet",
Otherwise a lot of postmen/women would be very angry at this moment, because I've broken the back of one of their members...0_O
Anywaaaays,
Yes.
No social life....
*sigh*
No life at ALL.
Talk about the story of my life.
No.
Don't really.
And I quote from Chicken Run... "...it's really booring!"
:P
Well, it's true.
There's one or two little exciting events that pop up every now-and-then,
But they're usually quite painful, or awkward >.<
And that's only every now-and-then.
But anyways,
At least I get to torture you guys by rambling on about all my/the world's/other people's problems.
But yes.

Goodbyes for now!

Signing off,

I’ll tell ye a tale…. (note: this is a big blog entry...I had much to say :P)

2006-04-20T16:51:00.000+08:00

A tale….as old as time…..
A tune as old as song…..
…
Wait a second….there is no tune!
Neither is this tale as old as time, or at least it wasn’t really…
It seemed like it to me :P
Anyways,
Yes.
I have return-ned from my gruelling 6 days in hell (ie, camping trip).
Damn them all.
I should’ve hid in a bucket!!! A BUCKET!!!! *sobs a bit*
Why?!?! WHY!?
Why do they *parents* insist on forcing you to do things that you DON’T WANT TO?
I don’t know.Mebbe it’s some sort of conspiracy….
Yes….the fast-food corporate puppet-masters twitch the strings of fate to thwart my success in the world once more!..
They invade the minds of parents and whatnot through the evil chemicals that they sell you in various fast-food restaurants!
Implanting psychic suggestions such as “Don’t let your teenage sons have fun” and “Make sure your teenage sons are home by a timely 10:00 pm, at a maximum. Unless of ‘course it’s holidays where you have to make sure they have even less fun, and you make sure they come home by 6:00pm!!”, and so on, and so forth….And thereby increasing their puppet-master control over the world!! THE WORLD!!!!
*mad cackling*
Ahem.
Sorry about that.
Yes.
Where was I?
Oh yes. Camping trip! *mutters about going off-track*
Yes. I hate camping.I (as I expected) got a distinct lack of sleep and healthy foods,
I was attacked by a scorpion,
Had a disctinct lack of sleep,
Was prevented from washing/brushing my hair properly aaand,
Had a distinct lack of sleep again,
AND I’VE JUST BLOODY FOUND OUT THAT I MISSED OUT ON A JOB OPPORTUNITY ON THIS F-ING TRIP!!
ARGH!
*growls very menacingly*
Yes.
I write this to you as a warning of things to come….
NEVER, EVER, LET YOUR PARENTS “ORGANISE” THINGS FOR YOU!!! *sobs*
….
Ahem, again.
I could’ve been doing so many other things!!!
…
Umm..
Like…….
..
Stuff….and like that…
..
Work!!
I could’ve of been buckling down and getting a distinct lack-of-sleep due to work experience!!
That would’ve been fine for several reasons.
a) Because I would’ve been sleeping in my own bed, without scorpions/spiders/snakes/carnivorous kangaroos eyeing me up (although you can’t be too sure about the kangaroos….they could even be watching you and me now…*peers outside worriedly*
b) I would have been making lots of money!! And
c) It would have been ENJOYABLE!!
Not like sitting around in a car for a good 4-6 hours a day, having to play the same old songs again…and again…and again….and attempting to write up and English essay (which, by the way, I HAVEN’T FINISHED YET!!!) and so on yada yada yada.
….
Yes.
So I shall report to thee, my dedicated readers, the terrible and boding events of my stupidstupidstupid camping trip, in day format.
On that note, you can all stop muttering about me behind my back, because I’m a very grumpy person when I haven’t had enough sleep. So if I catch you whining about me while I’m around, then don’t go complaining when I rip your head off, stick it on a pike, and then parade about the neighborhood singing a song about goblins…..
Unless of ‘course, you’re a girl,Where my very rock-solid morales of non-violence against women would come into play,
And I’d just have to find the nearest guy, rip off HIS head, stick it on a pike and the rest of it….
…….
Yes.
Camping trip!!
DAY 1 (ch-ch-ch-koh-koh-koh (funny cave noise….))
It began unwell.
I was woken up at 5 in the morning, by some stupid bird.
And all the tea had been packed.
So,
Wandering around the house angrily, muttering about not wanting to go on this trip (which I believe, was well justified), I waited around for a couple of hours before the rest of my family got ready (ie, my brother)
There was ONE small thing about this trip which I did enjoy…ONE…
Before we left, a pair of mormons, or whatever you call them, came up to our house on their bikes and, seeing as I was the only one in sight at the time, cornered me up against the wall.
“We would like to talk to you, my friend, about God” said the blonde guy. Bloody beach boys….*mutter mutter mutter “Young’uns” mutter mutter mutter*
Fixing him with a very steady glare, they went on for a bit, before I could no longer stand it.
“Sorry guys, but I worship the devil” I interrupted quickly, knowing that this usually got rid of them pretty tout de suite. Smiling, he bloody continued!!! The nerve!!
So I interrupted again saying “I’m also a scientist, I don’t believe in most of this stuff. I ain’t interested.”
Some 10 minutes later, the pair finally took the hint. Sighing with relief, I turned away, ready to start my grumbling again when Blondey asked “Would you know of anyone nearby who’d be interested in hearing about God?”
About to say ‘No’, I paused….
..
Trying to hide an evil grin, I desperatly tried remembering the adresses of where my nearby friends lived. Josh? No. Can’t remember the street name. Kat? No. She’s in Kalamunda. Jacob? No. He’s travelling. So eventually, I came to the final, and only option…
“I know somebody at (ADRESS NAME) who’d probably be interested in this stuff guys. Go and ask for an “Alastair Boyd”. He’s the one you guys want”
And they even asked for my name!!!! I gave it gleefully, knowing it would add to the goodness of the evil trick.
They rode off down towards the street (quite close by) and then I called to my mother “Let’s go! NOW!”
And we were off.
Good getaway vehicle. ^^
lol
Anyways,
That was the funnest part of the entire thing actually.
But I’ll continue,
Yes.
So we started to drive…
For 4 hours straight…..
We had rented a van/motorhome thing for the trip, so I stayed up the back, lying down, playing the guitar, and reading.
After 4 hours of driving, I got a message from Al telling me he had been cornered by the mormons and he hated my existance ^^ ^^,
lololol,
That brightened my black mood to a dark shade of grey.
So then, most of the trip was a blur.
We stopped quite a few times, at various places, and we only arrived at Geralton that night, staying in a caravan park.
My parents got the bed, Tom got the sort-of cubby hole,
I was claustrophobic on the floor of the van.
This seemed like de j’a vu after a few days.
*mutters at this point*
DAY 2 (funny cave noise again…)
I finally got to sleep….
Only to be woken up an hour later….
My parents….they snore so loud!!
We stayed around the caravan place for a bit….
Then we were off (at one point our van thing almost fell over sideways while we were making a sharp turn, not fun).
Much more driving….
Then, we arrived at this barren desert land, with a half-rickety wooden shack thing saying “Stromatolites” on a sign somewhere…
I almost expected a tumbleweed to appear out of nowhere.
My parents, beaming, got out of the car and half-skipped up to the rise behind the shack. They were obviously excited about something.
Topping the rise, I saw what was , basically, a not-so-exciting-or-appealing beach, that had a few birds circling around the water.
My parents announced this was the reason they decided to take me and basically have the holiday.
Peering around a bit, I didn’t see any theme parks, bunches of men-deprived indecently-dressed women, free electric guitars or anything that (in my opinion) would’ve made an over 700km trip worthwhile…
..
I saw a few shells…..a seagull…a few other birds…..a jetty…
…
Then Ma’ announced that they had come to see the stomatolites…..
..
Dreading the answer, I asked what they were again.
(living recollection of events from my point of view)
Mum/Dad: “They…are LIVING rocks!!”
….
*silence*
…..
Mum/Dad: “-!!”
…..
Joe: “You mean…that I was DRAGGED out to this barren wasteland of a beach…”
*dangerous pause*
Joe: “To have a look….at a bunch of, what really in respect are, a bunch of rocks???”…
…
Mum/Dad: “Yes!!!! Living- rocks!!!! They’re actually bacteria!!”
…..
Joe: “Really fast rocks? Well then that makes it OH SO MUCH better then…
(completely missed the sarcasm just dripping from the comment) Mum/Dad: “I’m glad you appreciate them Joe! We should do this thing much more often!”
Joe: “….”
*
Yes.
My mood sort of hit a new low at that point.
I’m just amazed that they missed my “enthusiasm” of the event..
For goodness sake they weren’t even pretty rocks or anything!!!!
They were just a bunch of bloody black rocks, glooping up bubbles from various holes, whenever a wave hit them…
Which is what NORMAL rocks do!!!
Grrrrr….That day, we made a mistake, and we took a wrong turn, so we ended up half-way to Monkey Mia before we realised we’d made a mistake.
So,
Instead of turning back, we stayed at the next stop place, and made camp..
…..
Once again… I was on the floor, feeling claustrophobic, and everyone else was comfortable.
I was attacked by a scorpion while I slept….
The scorpion…has now –very- firmly been squashed into Scorpion heaven, or whatever the scorpion mormons preach there are.
I bet scorpions have an easier time dealing with their mormons.
They probably just bite their heads off. :S
Anyways,
That morning, I had tried sleeping on a chair, to no avail…..
DAY 3 (I don’t think that sounds are supposed to echo this long….)
I ended up in a sort of banana shape ; head on the ground, legs +body on chair (ie, not very comfortable)
Once again.
Only a couple of hours sleep due to snoring.
So, seeing as we were already halfway to Monkey Mia, we decided to visit.
We went down,
Had a bit of a walk on the beach,
I seperated from the group and bought some sunnies (which I s’pose, was cool. But that doesn’t make up for the rest of the trip)
And then, basically, we spent an hour arguing what we should do (well, Ma, Pa and Tom did. I sorta stayed at the back and provided accompianing music (ie, played guitar and ignored everything else))
There was a lot more driving.
A gorge. Hm. Pretty view.
Big drop…hmmmm, mebbe I can escape this mad camping trip by jumping into the river some 100 feet below, and making my way to freedom!!!You guys are lucky I thought about it.
Or at least I think you are.
Don’t know about you guys
Anyways.More driving.
Attack of the killer magpie/whatever it was.
Minor crises involving various items of belong-age.
Et cetera, et cetera, and so forth.
*dark mutterings in French fade away*
DAY 4 (mebbe there’s no such thing as ‘echoes’ in caves. For all we know, it’s possible that in every cave, there’s a little gnome who has lots of time on his/her hands, and makes fun of any passing tourists by entertaining the notion that there is a thing such as ‘echoes’….)
So.
Once again, de j’a vu in the morning.
Apparently, my family decided that we weren’t going to Coral Bay, and we were going to stay in Geralton for the duration of Day 4, and then head back the next day to Perth.
…
Don’t they realise that we could have had the same experience, and possibly more by staying in bloody Perth!!!
Argh.
Anyways,
I stayed inside the caravan while my family went exploring that day.
Probably a good thing, because having your head stomped on during the night, does not exactly add to a cheery and easy-going nature.
And so, I attempted to get some English work done.
…..
….
I managed to get an entire three sentences done…
And I’m still not entirely happy with the third…
So that brings my entire Enlgish essay up to a grand total of almost-2 paragraphs….
What’s that?
It’s due the Tuesday after next?
Oh. That’s absolutely wonderful.
Positively fantastic.
I just can’t wait.
……
That’s called ‘sarcasm’ kids. It’s a thing that we ‘growned-ups’ use.
That and alcohol.But that’s borning and you have to be 18 to use that. Probably 21 by the time I reach it for all I know.
….
:P,
Yes.
DAY 4 was a relaxing day for me.I managed to actually have a proper sleep during the midday section.
I tried going for a walk,
But there were a bunch of yobbos who were harrassing me, so I decided that I probably shouldn’t hurt them, and go home.
…
What?
Seriously.
*some*People look at me and they go “Oh don’t worry about Joe. He’s just a hairy, harmless, tall guy. He couldn’t possibly do anything harm.”
And they tease me about it!
Talking about my bloody arms…*mutters*
Well guess what you kids?
I practiced martial arts for 7 years! And I’ve been riding for the past 5!
I know how to make someone (male mind you. A 100 year-old granny with a homicidal streak could easily take me out……lololol, just thinking about Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett. Bloody genius he is. They should make Interesting Times an actual movie! It’d go really well with all ages, trust me!) regret waking up that morning.
Think “kicks like a mule” except with style.
Mm.
‘Course I’m usually quite good-natured about stuff.And patient…
For goodness sake, if I can listen to somebody yabbering on about “her boyfriend” this and “her boyfriend” that for 1h 45 minutes, then I can put up with most of you guys. Girls are fiiiine. Mostly. I could sit and listen to girls talking about the most boring things in THE WORLD, and not seem impatient.
Guys on the other hand, are so REPETITIVE!
Always
The same things.
*sighs*
As if I’d want to be part of the “cool” group at school.
After about half and hour of “I’ll pop a cap in your ass”, I’d be ready to go genocidal o_O,

Aaaannways,
Yes.
Camping!
Later in the afternoon me family dragged me out on a little dingy thing, to go fishing!
…
Yes.
It was destined to go horribly wrong…
First of all,
Me Pa’ gave me the steering thing, and I shortly accidentally drew the boat ashore a sandbank.
Then,
After we *finally* managed to disengage the boat, we came to our fishing spot.
We commenced the ritual throwing in-and-out of little hooks with bits of lead attatched (ie, we started fishing)
…
I caught a leaf…
That’s about all we caught.
Now,
I’d liked to of believed that I threw my fishing rod out of the boat in disgust of our lack-of-fish-catching abilities,
But in fact what happened,
Is that I tried a fancy throwing technique, and I ended up throwing the hook 6 feet in front of me….
With the rod….
Fish- 1, Joe- Leaf.
…
I hate fishing…
DAY 5 (I mean, think about it. It’s entirely possible!! Just like the entire universe being one big hoax, and just before the end (the “big crunch”, “Apocolypse” or “big cold” whatever you believe in) somebody (mebbe God for all we know) could jump out from behind a bush and go “Haha! April fool’s Day!”)
This is the day guys! I actually started to cheer up at this point. To some extent.
We were heading in the general direction of Perth once more!
Huzzah! Tea and biscuts!
Of course, my Dad didn’t want to go back..
Hazzoo……
But I stood strong to a timely schedule! It was in writing! Writing!!!
So we headed back to Perth, with the iPod speaker thing crying out over the van about various life issues ;relationships, sex, drugs, alcohol, oppression against the indigenous people of Australia etc etc (ie, different songs were being played :P)
I had a steak burger! And we bought a sausage….
And I quote from Blackadder:
*heavy French accent*“……and zis sausage is very suspicous. If I did not know better, I would say it was a horse’s- ”
Yes.
Thankfully, Blackadder interrupted at that point >.<
So,
After many crises,
We managed to reach Kalbiri, or however you spell it *Ma’ berates me for lack of knowledge*
And because I was feeling like a dog that had eaten a chocolate fudge cake, followed by two tonnes of grapes, and was having a piece of grass put down my throat, I got the bed!! Finally!!! Yay….
Of course,
We were sleeping on an ant’s nest, so they came up reguarly in droves of bull-ants to murder us all in our sleep.
Lucky for us, Councillor Joe saved the day by pouring cough medicine down the ant hole, and then closed it up…
Of course,I didn’t actually end up killing anything,
Because it was just a random hole in the ground, not the nest…
>.<
Yes. I was bitten many times….
THE FINAL DAY
Yays again!
We spent almost all the day just cruising down the coast to Perth.
Of course, much of it was a blur to me, as I entered the “hit-on-the-head-with-a-seven-minute-old-piece-of-Ma’s-bread *ie, very hard*-stage of the cold.
But,
By the time we got to Gingin’s gravity centre, I was feeling as right as rain (I believe they say…).
Which was pretty cool.
There was this magnet thing that kept a piece of metal, spinning, and floating in the air at about 4 feet.Very interesting…but a nerdy place.
I remember the formula which was on the wall!! :’(
T= ( c^4)/(8PG)G
!!
That’s pretty cool if you think about it.
Of course, I don’t know what T is…
:P.
Anyways, enough nerdiness.
…
Ups and downs of the trip..
Ups:
…
I bought a pair of sunnies….
I attacked Alastair with mormons and had a viable escape route…..
I caught a leaf……
…
And I’m not sure catching a leaf is really classed as an “up”.
That’s about it really.
I don’t like camping with my family.
I have to put up with my brother niggling for god/complicated equations-knows how long..
There’s ALWAYS something that goes wrong..
My parents always have these “brilliant” ideas or shortcuts we can take, which inevitably ends up badly.Even if it’s a one-night experience,
You can always expect the above to happen.
Without fail.
*sighs*
Of course,
Getting away from home did allow my troubled mind to be occupied with much more interesting issues rather than the troubles that trouble it.
And now that I’m back,
The only source of entertainment that I have avaliable is riding, because all you guys have either (a) gone holidaying (b) are working their arses off (which I’ll hopefully end up doing) and (c) are too busy being hung-over to do anything interesting.
Soooos,
I shall now go riding!
Where shall I go?
Choices choices.
That’s one thing that I missed while I was away;
My little precious bike.
*singing* “Oooh,
Postman Pat
Postman Pat
…
He is a postman…
And his name is Pat… *well, Patrick anyway…*
Of course he isn’t as cool as Joe…..
Who has a bike…
And he goes riding……for fun……”
Ahem.
I shall not torture you any longer!
Fare-thee well kiddos!

2006-04-14T15:51:00.000+08:00

Yes.
This is my final post, I think, for almost a week.
Won't you guys just miss me o' so much?
No? I didn't think so...bloody hell......*sighs*Lack of Joe's prescence = joy for everone, probably
*sobs*
I couldn't avoid this stupidstupidstupid trip. And so now, well tomorrow morning, I will go to Coral Bay, get eaten by mosquitos, and possibly a bear,
have to push the car for 10 kms because that's how far we were from a repairs show when we broke down,
and of course, return
Probably next Thursday afternoon.
I'm telling you in advance so you can get your parties and whatnot over with before I come back.
Mm.
*mutters*
Yeah.
This isn't going to be a very enjoyable holiday for me, methinks.
I've got sooo much work to do.
And I need to get so much work at Coles!!
What impression do you think Coles will get if I tell them I can't work for almost a week??
Well, in my opinion, it's their fault for not contacting me earlier.
Otherwise I would've had a perfectly good excuse for staying home-alone.
Grr.
Stupid Chemistry...stupid Maths...stupid French, English, Sheperd's Hey and relationships.
Argh.
I'm going to go bald by the age of 20!! And that's something, for me!!
By the way,
Is it the mother's genetic DNA thingy that determines (mostly) whether or not you'll go bald early? Or is it the father's?
Either/eye-ther way, I'm probably going to end up with a distinct lack of hair.
Look on the bright side,
At least I will
a) Never pass on my genes and
(b) Will probably die in the Opera House due to Sheperd's Hey-age, and once again, situation (a) will turn up.
...
*sighs*
Sorry if I seem a bit grumpy this 'arvo.
It's my last day before I can't reaally do anything until the third Sat of holidays, and it's Good Friday, so nothing's on for friend-age.
:S
I tried organising a movie trip, but nobody wanted to come with me, so, meh.
What's with this so-called "Good" Friday?
Isn't it when some random guy died?
There were PLENTY of other Saints who died on a Friday, and you don't see THEM getting a national/worldwide (almost) holiday for it.
Meh.
I don't really believe in any of that, so I don't celebrate it. It prevents anybody having a go at me for believing in something that could possibly not exist.
Anyways,
I hope you guys all have fab' holidays!
I might organise something for next Friday, 'cause I told the big Chell, that I'll be avaliable next Sat!
Then I'll be trying to get as much work in as possible, and doing ALL of the work I have to do over the holidays,
So I'll prob'ly be busy from there-on.

Byes guys!- (see beginning of post "Vegetarians" if you have any problems with me generalising the entirety of the population of the world as "guys". I believe it's a multi racial/sexual/political comment that should be accepted globally. Or at least, in my case)

Ugh.....

2006-04-13T19:26:00.000+08:00

So.....bloody.....tired.......:'(
9......hours....of work....today.....
*yawns*
Coles is fun, but not THAT fun.
I have decided that when people want to use their credit cards is my favourite part of the job.
It means I don't run out of any stupid bloody $5/$10 notes!!!!
*sobs*
Yes.
Lots of funs.
I've been working from 9:00 in the morning to 6:00 this 'arvo, so I basically got my training done. I just need to figure out how to use Gift cards in combination with cash >.<,
But I think I'm doing pretty damn well for a newbie.
Seriously,
I'm going to build up SUCH biceps working at Coles o_O
I packed sooooooo many soda bottles today, it's not funny..
There was this one guy, who'd come in earlier, buy about 10 soda bottles and walk off...
And then return again! Dressed up differently...and he'd buy ANOTHER 10 or so bottles...
And then again!!.
Talk about wierd.
There were also a lot of old Italian people.
o_O
There was one old lady who could barely speak English, and she was TRYING to explain to me for some 5 minutes, that the meat she had in the trolley was bought from the store across the hall.
Very tiring.
I had an hour's lunch-break though, which I had a cup of coffee and a can of coke.
Caffeine was needed at that point.
Jodie was grumpy at me for some reason....Janet was sympathetic...I saw Lecia at the end of the shift, so that was cools, Michelle was not happy, because she was working ALL DAY.....
*yawns*
Anyways!
On to more pressing topics
*works in button factory*....(I apologise intently for that appalling joke. Of course, if you didn't get it, then I take it back, because it took me well over half an hour to think it up >.<)
Yes.
I'm still thinking about it. I should. But I don't want to hurt.
So,
50042!!! (= nandine potatos)
Yes.
Potatos are not fun. Neither is English. Which, by the way, I have only written an introduction to.
I was SUPPOSED to have finished it by tomorrow, so I s'pose that I'll have to get it done over the camping trip. I wouldn't be socialising anyway...
*sighs depressedly*
I shall now eat/drink something with lots of caffeine in it lest I die *51432 (sobs)*

Signing off,

Everything's a lie and that's a fact.

2006-04-12T21:36:00.000+08:00

I wish that statement was true sometimes..
Sometime's I wish that everything that I know just didn't exist.
Then I could sit in bed and not have a care in the world.
But, unfortunatly it's *probably* not.
So, I'll just have to get over it, face my problems, and throw things at them behind large rocks so they can't see me....
:P
I had a "some good, some bad" day today.
I had my first shift!! (^^), which was tiring.....but nonetheless fun, and it passed with only a couple of minor dramas.
But,
My stupid f-ing brother took HALF AN HOUR to get ready for dinner, so we were late to the jazz performance, and so there weren't any chairs together.
So we didn't go to that.
AND I have to look forward to a 9-hour shift tomorrow for work.
Which is good (money + experience) but bad (no going out with friendsies on my last day that I CAN go out..).
>.<
Stupid homework....
Stupid school....
They SAY it's the last day of school, and APPARANTLY that's a GOOD thing.
But
I see the negative side of it. (because I'm the only person who would. That precise reason.)
It means that it's one term less to the TEE exams..
And I'm only on a 53 in English......
....
*sighs*
Hmmm....
Should I? Or shouldn't I?...
*thinks intensly for a couple of minutes*
*hurts (lol)*
"Will I win or lose again, if I every try once more?" I think that's how it goes...
Very good song that.
Anywaaayss,
Work is fun. But it's tiring...I shall return!!

Damn music....

2006-04-11T16:40:00.000+08:00

:'(
I hate stupid goddamn soppy music.
It makes me grumpy....especially when you don't have any convienient emotion-release points :P.
Such as convieniently shaped punching bags.....
Mm.
Pop music sucks. Not only because it's pop (the moral of it..), but because it's all so sad, and all about the same goddamn thing.
Relationships.
They're always complaining about the lack of steady relationships in THEIR lives, and so they make us feel bad about our OWN prediciments by singing stupid songs to us.
And so now I'm sitting here, listening to bloody wassis/ername singing something or other. And I'm feeling very depressed.
lol
Go Marvin from Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Anyways.
Yes.
Pop and rap sucks. But I've told you that so many times, you're probably all bored now.
So, for variation.
I shall say..
..
Pop and rap suck
..
Wasn't that any different to how I said it before?
No?
Well bad luck. Because it's true!! TRUE!!!!
MUAHAHAHHAHA!
*voice trails off into the distance*
Hello.
Back again.
Anyways,
I thinks it's time for some icecream
*pause*
Damn...
No icecream.....
Well that's just great......:'(, anyways again, do you guys know what I hate? These little cloth wiper thingys....
You see,
Whenever you've got dust/hair/other assorted sticking items to your clothing, you brush these wipey things against your clothing to get rid of it.
However,
I was wearing a black shirt, and I USED said wiper thingy (because as you know, black clothing attracts dust/hair like a magnet (what's up with that??? EVERY time....mebbe,..it's a conspiracy.....yesss....the fast-food industry wants our souls and money...it is THEM which is the cause of all our problems!!!!.....ahem...),
But when I used it,
It seemed as if all the nearby dust/hair just lept onto my new shirt!! *sobs* And you can't go out looking like Cousin It (unless of course I tie my hair back....), so I had to get ANOTHER shirt!!!
Beware this omen...it heeds the beginning of a new era!! One of death...destruction...and distinct lack of non-hairy black shirts!!!
Hi-ho Silver, away!!! *see? I got it right THAT time....*

Hey guys!
Or girls.
Bloody political correctness.
You can't go around just saying "guys" anymore, without some damn feminist saying "Oh, but I'm a GIRL"
*mutters angrily*
Anyways,
Yes.
Vetetarians have finally irritated me. There is one in particular, because whenver I eat something meat-produced (eg, a McDonald's patty/sausage roll/ etc etc) he goes "Do you know what you're eating!?!"
I reply "Yeah. The minced meat product of a hundred different reject-organs, doused in grease, and then served with a pound of sugar"
That's the reply I have to give to him so that he dosn't have a go/have a lecture at me for "not knowing the evils I'm ingesting"
Yes.
So, here, right here, right now.
I proclaim that I KNOW that I'm eating utter nutrient-deficient merde. But for goodness sake I like it!! At times. When I go to a fast-food joint, I EXPECT my food to be disgustingly good. Otherwise I'd go to a sushi restaurant...Or make a sandwich >.<
Anyways,
That's all I want to says.

Byes guys!!/(/girls/googly-eyed aliens from the planet 'Z')

Yay!
Guess what guys/gals!
It's almost over! The 1st term has finally passed.
Damn.
I didn't think that soo many things could happen, yet it all pass so quickly..
On a different note,
Stupid tutor with her posh accent and sophisticated language...we call them cups of water in Australia damnit! Not "a cool beverage".
*mutters darkly in French*
Anyways,
Yes.
I am half excited, half sad.
Mainly because it means that my time with most of you awsome guys is drawing near to a close, or at least a semblance of a close...*sighs painfully*
And of course I'm still fighting with my parents about this stupid camp thing. I've almost...ALMOST....got them convinced. Then I can stay at home during the first week, get my English essay done to a good standard, and then have 8 blissful days of rest and recuperation!
Of course...
That's assuming I CAN convince them....mebbe I should persuade them that I've gone completely mad....hmm....then when I plead insanity to the court (ie, my parents) the jury (ie....how did those guys get into my house!?!!?) should let me off with a lighter sentence (ie, no camping trip)
*nods*
It's AMOST ingenious.
..
*sings along to "Victim Of Love" by the Eagles*
omg,
That's such a cool song to sing.
Sooooo cool ^^,
The Eagles rock dude
:D
:D..
...
sorry about that awful joke.. :P
ANYWAYS,
...
How're y'all doin' guys?
Pretty sure, it's been quite quiet round this blog lately. It's very vividly vivacious in it's vendetta-like voracions.....
:P
Sorry again. I don't even thing voracions is a word...Meh. It shall be Councillor Joe's word! Meaning...ummm.......
..
Bulbous.....pastry tomotoes.....which...have been cooked for over.....3 minutes....
^^
As you can tell.
I'm in a deceptively good mood at the moment.
I'm even cracking jokes! How awsome is that?!
It's because I've been listening+singing to Eagles songs of cool.
...
Merde!! Zut.. zut zut zut alors. Merde. Pourquoi moi?! J'ai oubliE le recontai de la musique! ARGH!!!
Yes. I've forgotten the bloody music meeting tonight.
Well that's the end of my good mood...enter grumpiness, watch out anyone who tries to speak to me in the next 20 minutes.
Why is it that you feel so baad when Ms T's angry at you?
I mean, she dosn't get angry at me!! That's the worst part!
She knows that if she starts to snarl/growl/yell at me, I just get really stroppy and irritated, and it makes the whole thing worse.
So, instead.
She goes for the "dissapointed" approach :'(
AND IT WORKS SO WELL!! If I was a superhero (btw, that Superman movie looks awful), then that would be my one weakness...
*grumpy/huffy face*
Right.
I'm going to eat something really sugary. I don't care if it's going to be the death of me!
If I know that what I'm eating is bloody unhealthy, then nobody can criticise my actions!
It's like when I eat a sausage/mince thing. I know(/don't know really lolol ^^) what I'm eating you bloody vegetarians, so stop giving me those evil eyes!

I am tired!!!

2006-04-09T12:55:00.000+08:00

Actually,
I'm Joe.
But I feel tired. Very....tired.......
I hate staying up later than 12......I'm not a very happy person if I'm woken up with less than 6 hours sleep.....*glares evilly at deoderant can for staring at me*....
Yes.
You see.
On Sat, I was feeling grumpy, because my parents weren't letting me go on the computer (because I was being stroppy or something. Damnit. I got a lot of homework done on Saterdeey. 4 Chem sets o_O) and my friends weren't calling me up giving me reasons as to why I shouldn't be at home. So. After a nice ride down to the beach. I arrived at home and started doing what I do best....procastinating about English essays!!! *sobs a bit* Damn English....*sighs* I might AS WELL get some of it done tonight. That way I won't have to worry about it over the stupid camping trip.
Anyways,
So, about 4:30ish Josh/Al/Ant *can't remember* calls me up and tells me that they're going to see "V For Vendetta" (which is cunningly named (if you've seen the movie) to sound like "Viva Vendetta" *nods head sagely*), I'm welcome to come, be there at 4:30.
Sooooo,
What else was I going to do?? Entertain my brother for another 6 hours before I go to bed?? Do MORE homewok????? I should've...but nooooo..I didn't think so...
I arrive theres at 4:15, to find that in their "awsome" *enter sarcastic tone* organisation planning, the movie was actually at 6:30. Sooo, we had to wait around for two hours while all the stores were shut >.<
So we talked about the normal issues that always pop up in our conversations (capitalism stinks, American government sucks, ninjas (not me...), girls, how pop/rap are the slums of music, how cool rock/metal is compared to, teasing me (*mutters darkly*) about anything that pops into their minds)....
Very predictable.
Especially the ninjas......
Anyways,
So we go up to the cinema at ~6:15ish, see Emma, Brick, Tezza, Midolo, Vardy, and wassisname.....Sullivan! That's right. Yes. They'd just seen the movie (better organisation see?) and gave it "meh" reviews. Emma said it was good for it's storyline.
I agree after seeing it. Buuuut, it was a little bit...overdone? Predictable? I'm not sure. I didn't really feel satisfied after seeing the movie. It tried a bit too hard with it's action scenes I think. But it was cool because they were all British, especially the comedian dude! lol.
Yes.
So then I call my mother to pick me up, and she replies "Get a lift with Alastair, I'm tired."
...
..
Mm. I rode home with Al driving....
A little scary....especially with Josh+Anthony calling out for Al to "hammertime" down Marmion Ave, and do burnouts etc etc.
>.<
I like pushbikes....
Very safe...
As long as you're not being hunted by suspicious L-plate grey cars....o_O

Yes.
And then APPARANTLY, *ie, without my knowledge*, we were staying over at Al's for the night. Of course my parents were a...little.....irritated.....to say the least, but yes.
And I didn't get to sleep until 4:00 in the morning....*sniffs*
Then school habits woke me up at 8:00.....
>.<
Not funs....
You know what?
Government is a tool. Really stupid I think. I mean, from all of their decisions, I get the impression that they really don't give a damn about the populace, only their wallets.
Of course there are exceptions,
But I feel the majority in government are.
And all these movies I've been seeing recently ("SuperSize Me", "V for Vendetta" etc etc) are all reinforcing this belief!
That and that damn Howard...*mutters* He's probaby better than the alternative, but still.
I should be head of the country! Me!!!
That way, everybody would be happy....or I'd make them!! Damn peasants....burn!!!
*plays chess for a bit*
Funny that.
Chess has got a lot to say about politics/government.
It's funny that the king-the most important piece in the game-is the worst piece you can use in tactical warfare. It's slow (only one square per turn) and it whenever it get's attacked by something, it either has to have someone look after it or it runs away
lololol
Ahhh.
Anyways,

Aww.
I wish I could play the sax :P
But,
I wish I had a damn electric guitar even more >.<
*mutters*
I'm sure there is an easy solution to the damn solution.
But I can't be bothered finding it. Thus, and therefore, 2 = 1.
*nods emphatically*
Yes. We should all go out on the holidays! To, I dunno, a movie or something.
Mebbe I'll have a concession card by that time (*mutters very darkly in French* damn you TransPerth!!). Yes.
That's right.
I have NO proof (aside from my nice and shiny birth-certificate (lololol, officially, I wasn't born until 2 years ago!! That's when my mother got my birth certificate lmao) and my passport >.<), that I'm 16 years old...
Soon enough I shall be 18...and then....a man can only dream of what might be *raises eyes to the sky*
Ooh look! Stars!
Anyways,
Where was I?
Ah yes.
Big group outing!
That way, we can celebrate the last days of a blissful *for some of us :'( :'(* holiday, and pretend that school isn't on the day after tomorrow/whenever.
French restaurant meal! That's going to be fun.
I've also got the jazz dinner on Wednesday, I think......:S hmmmm....

How're y'all this 'arvo/morning/mid-day/fine winter's eve...........?
Bah. You're not going to answer that question..you guys never do *mutter*
Anyways,
I've had some fun-fun nights!
Yes.
You sees, on Thursdeeey, I went out to see the premiere of "Ice Age II"!
So funny ^^,
But of course, I didn't understand most of the beginning...probably because I havn't seen the first "Ice Age" >.<
(mebbe the mammoth used his tusks?? I dunno....)

And then LAST night (Frideey),
I went to a Quiz night!!
That was fun ^^, although a bit embarassing because I seemed a bit stupid :P (I can't believe how specialised my knowledge is >.< *sigh* good thing we had Paul+Bernie on our team :P, they were smart....) lolol. yay Ozone!!! yay Rock and Roll Lobster!!! not so yay for Taste...and IRAQ (>.<) We came 4th, which is pretty good considering. If only we had gotten ONE more point...then we would've gotten lots of prizes! Nonetheless, I got a nature calander thingy. Kat got a manicure/nail pack thingy (a girl's dream...) And we beat 20 other teams ^^, which I was happy about. *sighs* I demand that I do not go camping!!!! I refuse!!!! I'm having lots of little battles with my parents at the moment, as to whether I'm going or not. I'd REALLY prefer not to. Perhaps if was during the second week (meeebbe) But if it's during the first week then I'd miss out on a French-class restaurant meal!! Noo! So, I'm planning to escape the evil clutches of my parents by saying next Sat morning "Hey, I'll be back in 5 minutes guys!" And then I'll ride to Perth and hide in a bucket......preferably not with anything else inside it.... They *SHOULD* would not find me!!! And they'd have to go to Coral Bays without me..... Of course, I'd have to put up with Granny for 5 days, But that's a small price to pay *nods* Hm. *sings Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back* ( see http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Life-Is-A-Lemon-And-I-Want-My-Money-Back-lyrics-Meat-Loaf/8E2D7BBBAEC45CA248256BDD002FCD26 for why I like singing this cool song ^^, very pessimistic :P)

Good song that. Awsome rift,
Speaking of rift,
I should've know it was ACDC!!!!!!

Anyways,
I'll seeya later!
Only 3 more days of hell *ie, school* left to endure!!!! Then you guys get to rest/work/have fun for 14 days!
I'll be hiding in a bucket.....don't expect me to be in a good mood when I get back to school >.<

Life In The Fast Lane

2006-04-05T20:58:00.000+08:00

Now,
A common worry of all parents nowadays, is when their precious young children get driving liscences. Of course my parents won't have to worry about that for a while. I don't plan on getting a car for quite some time....I'm going to get a bike instead! :D :D.....:(
Now of course, their parents have very good reason to worry. Their little darlings get all revved up in the presence of their peers and/or with the presence of alcohol.
So they go on little "joyrides"
Veeerry stupid thing to do my young friends.
Even MORE so with the influence of alcohol upon one of the people in the car.
They drive around for a bit, mebbe shouting out random things to people who just happen to be around.
Then someone/the driver decides to go a bit faster. Till you end up zooming around the neighborhood at an exhilirating pace. But you think "Hey, I'll be fine. We won't get hurt. I know this place like the back of my hand" *"Ooh, I haven't seen that before!" lol*
And they drive around fast for a bit.
But of course, these little stories almost always end badly.
You might drive past a speed camera. And seeing as you'll probably be on your P's, you'll get a fine and your liscence confiscated.
Or, you might take a corner to sharply/not enough, and you'll damage property. Or you might even crash, possibly injuring, or even KILLING yourself and your friends.
And of course, you might smash into another car, leading to all sorts of legal difficulties, and possible injuries for those in the other car and your own.
I beseech thee young'uns,
PLEASE be careful.
You don't have to "Live in the Fast Lane", or go fast to have a fun time while driving.
My gods. You can just stay at the driving-around-shouting stage, and you'd decrease the possibility of an accident by so much!
*sighs*
You probably won't pay heed to my "boring" pleas, so I've done all I can.
The reason I speak to you guys about such manners, is because my cousin recently had a bad experience with a car, and ended up damaging a lot of property. She had to end up paying a fine which she couldn't afford, and so went into the sort of spiral that most poor teenagers undergo because they DON'T heed the warnings.
So many other ways of having fun/adrenalin experiences.
Go out! Have fun at the movies with some friends! That's exhilirating enough as it is!
Anways,
enough Councillor Joe'ness.
I don't like being bloody preachy >.<,
It's against my value of disliking authorities.....

Go Australianism!

2006-04-05T20:37:00.000+08:00

Indeed.
Well, mostly alone. But nonetheless, pretty sure that it's a little empty.
Mebbe I didn't send enough invites.... it can't of been the salad 0_O
Meh.
Just thought I'd send you a random quote.
Yes.
Centripital force! Fc!
*sighs*
You know what? Our social groups are becoming more and more stranded from each other.
Well, their social groups. I've never really been PART of a social group.
More of a tag-along/some random guy.
Anyways,
Yes.
The "cool" group has been splitting and forming like a quantum physics beach ball,
The cool group is splitting at the moment.
Adam is Adam.
*sighs* I don't know what it's going to be like when we finish highschool.
Who knows what social groups would've formed and broken apart from that time.
I dunno guys/gals. I just dunno.
Sorries for the depressedness. I think the holidays (if I can somehow avoid camping...) shall be good for me. I'll get some needed "me" time.
Why do I feel better in small groups of people/by myself?
Humans should feel much more comfortable surrounded by their peers. Mebbe it's the quietness, the calm.
Have you ever ridden 15kms and then sat down on the beach's shore, looking out into the ocean and it's dying sunset?
Probably not..
You guys wouldn't even know what a REAL bike ride is!
It is one of the most blissful experiences you could have.
So is eating this bowl of icecream *eats*
Mebbe I should join a band.
(lol, talk about changing topics!)
A PROPER band mind you. Not one of those damn screamos/emos/growl..oes....:P etc etc,
But singing REAL songs.
I reckon I have quite a good voice.
Plus I have some skill at the guitar, so I could sort of add additional rhythmic guitar.
Or mebbe.
Mebbemebbemebbe,
I should start up my own band!
Why is starting up a band such a common thing among us young'un teenagers and individuals such as myself? It's probably the sense of 'companionship' that you feel.
Hm.
I think...I'll wait till I buy an electric before I start thinking about that seriously...
Soooos,
Hows are all of you going?
Hopefully better than I am...I almost feel like hooking myself up to a huge battery of Daniell cells (proabably 240 of them), the Zn/Zn2+ Cu2+Cu ones.
:P
That's what we're learning in Chem at the moment.....
*sighs*
I'm going to jazz on my guitar for a bit. That should make me feel better.
You guys should try it out as well. On any avaliable instrument in your house.
I've found that music is a GREAT outlet for stress and worry. It'd help with your studies if instead of sitting around for 15 minutes in your break, you go and pick an instrument (preferably a guitar) and just start strumming some chords, or look up a couple of tabs.
Anyways,
Back soonish,

So,
I combed my My Pictures, and I found one! Lucky you.

2006-04-04T19:53:00.000+08:00

ARGH!
Pourquoi moi!?!
POURQUOI MOI!!?!?!?!?!??
*sobs a bit*
I hate English....
Why! (question mark)
I thought that I did well...obviously I didn't..
Even JOSH recieved a better mark than me!
In fact, I believe that I had the lowest mark in the class :'( :'(.
Stupid English, c'est un petite merde de matiere. Je le veux morter, ou exploder.
Grrrr,
Why can't I get a question in English that has something to do with music!?!
Then I'd get a good mark...
I almost got 100% in that song lyrics assignment last year, and I recieved a ~70ish mark for the in-exam one.
But noooooo,
Let's ask stupidstupidstupid questions where if you don't answer a specific part of them, you lose 40%.
And all the rest (ie, teachers against me, English questions designed to kill me etc etc yadayadayada).
Do you know what also stinks???
Stupid camping..
Mm.
Parents...brother....decide, "Hey! I know a fun thing to do! Let's have lots of "fun" going on a road trip/camping trip for most of a week! Yeah. Joe! I don't care if you want to stay at home! You're coming with us whether you like it or not!"
So. Yeah.
We're going to some random "Coral Bay"*by car, which I have nicknamed the "Clown Car" for various reasons...* for like half a week ( :'( )
yay.....*conjures image of the genie from Aladdin waving a flag chanting "Jaffar, Jaffar..."*
Not really!
I hate camping as well..
EVERY time.
Something goes wrong.
I get shoved out of a tent, because SOMEBODY was taking up all the space in their sleep- and it starts to rain.....
The car- breaks down 40km from civilisation.....
We end up having a massive argument about lack of road-trip stops......
And I ALWAYS end up losing sleep, because I'm worried that some random killer-psychopath maniac dude will come across our sleeping area, and murder us all...
That usually keeps me up till 2 in the morning, where I figure even random killer psychopath maniac dudes would be sleepy.
...
:'(
.
I was looking forward to a two week period of rest! Of relaxation!
Of distinct lack of anything at all! ! ! ! !
But.
Yeah.
It's either I go camping....
Or I stay with my grandmother for the duration....
Hmmmm.
It's SO hard to make a decision!!!
I don't know which one is worse......
Ok.
The reason it's so bad, is because when the rest of my family (ie, not me (key words not me))went AROUND THE WORLD without me (ya) and they abandoned me with my grandmother for 5 WEEKS OF HELL!!!!!!!
Every morning...
I had to be up at 6,
so I could leave by a MAXIMUM of 7:20, so that I'd get to school by the time the siren went off.
Mm.
I had to ride....
7kms.....
WITH my bloody bag.........*mutters very darkly and possibly obscenly in French for a bit about general badness of life*
Speaking of French.
I had my first Oral examination today..
o_O
Seriously,
I'd like to see some of you guys EVER experience what we go through in French assesments..
You'd be soooooo slaughtered...
Could you imagine yourself in my shoes today....as the teacher asks you (in French) to DESCRIBE a character's role in a movie, and what the movie was about...
A LOT more difficult than it sounds, believe me!
Nonetheless,
I do believe I went quite well in that.
But as I might've said....(did I? *looks back* yes. I did.)
I thought I did quite well in my English essay.
But I obviously DIDN'T.........
....
....
@&*#!*&!&#!& !*!*@ !@* !)! !*$*!@ !@*$!*$ <- ???????? lolololol.

Anways,
I leave you people with a two questions.
Both arose in a productive lesson of physics.....
Firstly:
As you know;
infinite + infinite = infinite
(although I argue against this fact. I think it would equal "more" infinite. A special value of infinite, which as you will soon find out, should exist for this situation)
Thus,
2infinite = 1infinite
And therefore, by dividing both sides by infinite
2 = 1.
Mm.
Very interesting (lololol)

And also 2)
As you know, an object gains lift as their velocity increases.
Thus with enough velocity,
It is easy enough to make pigs fly. You just have to get a cannon of sorts....(poor piggie :P :( )
And therefore, isn't the statement "When pigs fly.." irrelevent? As this thing could happen anytime someone with the means wanted to?

Mm.
Obviously, when we understand these questions, we shall know a lot about life in general.
..

No cows have fallen from the heavens in my lifetime, in a desperate attempt from the gods to kill me,
although they have tried trees recently...hm..I must be vigilant.....lest the cows come...

Ahem.
Sorry.
I find it very embarrasing when I do that...There are just some songs which you CAN'T not sing along to.
And play air guitar to......

I've had a goodish morning, *see previous post*, and I've had an alright 'arvo.
^^
Oooh yeah. Councillor Joe speech!
lol
I released some built-up tension today in band when Ms T said I could speak to all the young'uns after a horrible rehearsal (I don't care if they're 16 same as me!! :'( :'( , quiet, all of you! They're young'uns unless,
a) They've earned my respect,
b) Have hit at least 3 years above me
c) Are taller than me+I've known them for a fair while.)
Indeedy.
Yes. I think I came out a bit too preachy....but nonetheless,
pretty cool. :P
If only I had done that well for my English oral assignment...:'(
*sighs*
Yeah.
I've had an alrightish afternoon aside from rehearsalness. I've got cake (so much cake.....),
I have balloons which rest upon the "roof of my ceiling" lolol. ^^ so cool.
I have movies + quiz night coming up in the week which is going to be funs.
However,
I still havn't done my music homework....
Hmmm.
I'm procastinating like the big-league'uns, and I'm steadily convincing myself that I can leave it till tomorrow morning.
Which'll mean I'll leave it till Physics...and then just before Music starts I'll get started on the 3/4 more sheets I have to do :(
Pretty sure,
That if I find the person who invented homework..
*smacks palm against fist*
Mm. Councillor Joe would have to pay to get a name change to a less conspicuous name..liiiike...I dunno..
"Emily...which is short for..umm...Bob.." gotta love Black Adder lol.
So young'uns.
How are y'all doing?
For those who are in DSHS,
How're y'all holding up in Yr 12?
Getting alright/good/awful grades?
Hope you are. I'm not >.<.
Except in Physics and French.
I'm actually doing quite well in those.
I think I'm resting on a strong A and solid B respectively for those two subjects.
However,
I hate English.
And we're getting our new essay question on Mondeey *sobs a bit*
I hope English spontaniously oxidises....*ie, for those who don't do Chem., I hope it spontaniously catches on fire/explodes*
Then I shall be happy,
For it will no longer be neccessary for me to pass English to pass highschool/T.E.E.
So,
All we now need to do,
Is remove a hell of a lot of electrons from the English structure....all at once...
And then leave it in an oxygen rich environment...
yesss
My plans are ingenious!! (did I spell that correctly? o_O)
That is why you voted me Councillor Joe. *nods*
For I am ridiculously good-looking!, intelligent in matters of physics and french and various other life topics!, I have speech improvisation skills higher than the average man! *sobs a bit about English assignment*,
And most of all!
...
I have a sudden craving for cake+tea...
:P
So,
I shall return one day and preach to you how absolutely wonderful I am another day.
At least I do it another day >.<
Nowadays, most people it's all about "Memememememememe".
Damnit.
They should rectify this problem by talking about Me more often!!..
..

:P

See you guys on Monday/Never/Mebbe one time randomly in the future/on the other side of the sealed room being filled up slowly with water *only if you're Philip..*

stretches Oh dear...that didn't sound healthy....

2006-04-02T11:47:00.000+08:00

Mm.
Gotta love bones creaking in every part of your body.
*sighs blissfully*
Ahh.
I have just had THE most wonderful rest for months *nods*
Goddamn school...
Now I think that "sleeping-in" till 8:30 is blissful!!!
Damn them *teachers* all....
But still.
I slept like a log...
Or a really tired person...
After all,
I doubt I could sleep like a log.
First of all,
I'm *pretty* sure that I don't have termites crawling all throughout me/wanting to eat me...
Secondly,
A log doesn't breathe,
Thirdly,
I don't have madmen with axes running after me.
So,
Mm.
I'd probably sleep more like a sloth, with about 50mg of tranquiliser in my blood.
*nods*
Except a lot less hairy...
And *hopefully* less smelly >.<
In other words (o_O, we got there eventually), I've had an alright morning so far.
I woke up (as you now know) at 8:30.
Lay there a bit...
Got up *as you do..*....
Had some cake *^^* (such a healthy breakfast....:P)
Watched a movie...
And finished off the important needs-to-be-done homework...
Damn...
I shouldn't of reminded myself of that damned thing...
I've still got my stupid reflections in music to do (>.<)
And I'll have to get around to writing up some notes for the Maths test tomorrow...
I SHOULD go well in that...
As long as there aren't any "Hence and/or otherwise" stupid hatehatehateevilevil questions of doom....

Yes.

In fact,
I've had an alright,
Although slow,
Weekend altogether.
I woke up yesterday....
Lay in bed a bit...
Got up..
Had breakfast *no cake at that time :(*
Sat there for ~1 hour...
Parents+ brother went off to the medievil fair without me...(probably a good thing..I'm not much of a "morning person" *ie, it's like having a glowing halo-like sign around you saying "DO NOT TALK TO/ASK ANYTHING/NOTICE BASICALLY"*
I sat in a chair in the loungeroom.....
Sat there a bit...
Mebbe an hour or two..
Read a bit of a magazine..
Sat there some more...
Went for a ride...
Saw Ant+Al for a bit....
And then I was invited to "Paul's/Bernie's" *Kat's relatives..* party! omg! It was something!
So,
Seeing as I was looking forward to another 3-4 hours of doing "a lot",
I went to said b-day party.
It was a 50th!
There was a cake...
Big cake...
I wonder if they would've noticed any missing.....
And there were candles O_o,
50 of them!
Mm.
And GOOD food.
Haven't had that in a while :P
I was tempted to bring a Tupperware box and load up on supplies....
But yes.
It was cool.
And I got cake!!
Only a small portion of the entire thing..
But still,
It's huge!!! o_O
Hmmm..
Cake....
Pretty sure,
That I'm hungry now,
Ooh, look! It's lunchtime,
Perfect excuse...let's see if the rest of the family has found it stashed away secretly...
Oh no..
Oh no!!!
The cake!!
It..IT...*sobs a bit*
I'm good ^^
It's all there lol :P
So,
Pretty sure that I'll seey'all later,

*stares very suspiciously at floor*
Ok...
Mebbe my brother's claims were true....
Perhaps he DID destroy it utterly..
Oh.
Yes.
There's the scorch marks..
It's very interesting how people react in certain situations..
Some people would get a broom and beat the spider to death..
Some people would attempt to capture the said spider and release him+ succeed/get eaten horribly.
My brother..
Is my brother.
Instead of choosing option a/b
He chooses option c.
Which involves getting a highly flammable spray thing,
and then throwing lots of lit matches at it.
Mm.
Damn him..
I had to do the sweeping..
And it wouldn't die!!
I had to throw big heavy things at it as it was chasing me...
Note: This is in the absence of parents (therefore parents = 0, sanity= 0, therefore parents= sanity)
Mm
Ok,
what was I talking about?
Ah yes.
Imparting knowledge upon you young ones..
Hmm..
Don't eat the yellow snow, don't drink-drive, don't do drugs, remain calm in the case of an attack of killer spiders from Mars
*peers around for possible children....*
What else?
Hmm..
s= ut + .5at(squared).
Yes.
Very important that.
Tests!!
You should study for them..
Just like the 3/4 tests I've got coming up in the next 7 days
:D
:D
...
:D
.........
*shakes head*
Don't think soo....
You know what?
Our music composition was cool!!
Too bad we had to do it in that cruddy spare room...
And that we didn't have costumes ready >.<
But meh..
It was better than all the others!!
*nods head*
It was because we were involved with the audience, and our sudden changes of style were awsome.
Mm.
*sighs*
Ok.
Cheerfulness has vanished.
It means I am not mad at all.
Damn...
Sometimes I envy madmen...
Ignorance is bliss...

That's more wisdomness!

Quiet you!
I've been watching a pirate movie,
And so I'm in the mood for singing out-of-tune but still-in-a-piratey-sort-of-style songs..
Yes.
Still somewhat cheerful.
Mebbe it's actually an illusion..
Perhaps I'm about to snap, and go comepletely bonkers o_O,
Nah.
That happened a LONG time ago.
*nods*
When I was a little one. My Mum must've dropped me on the head too many times.
Hmm.
Perhaps not dropped...
Mebbe thrown....
That may have been the cause of my glaring at mother...
*fingers type faster at demands of others*
Yes.
Ah.
So good.
You know how children cry and scream at birth?
Well,
When I came out into this dreary world, I was silent..
I turned around..
And GLARED at my mother
As if saying "How DARE you disturb my rest!!! Put me back in!!"
I was a very quiet child...
Still am I s'pose.
*argh*
Hm.
What to talk about..
Ooh.
A bug!
Let us follow it's movements....
...
...
*screams*
Argh!
It's a huntsman spider,
And I am currently in an awkward position upon the desk...
I shall impart more wisdom unto thee soonish,
As soon as that damn spider goes away/dies horribly for attacking me...
*eep*
It's in the "I'm about to rip your face off" position of death!
Flee!

Anyways, :P
How's it'all goin' guys/gals/big-teethed googly-eyed ones?
Pretty sure that I haven't found the solution to the comment problem, so you'll just have to all make your own blogspot thingys *nods*
Unless of course you don't actually WANT to comment...
But that's silly.
*deluded tone of voice* Everybody wants to comment on MY blog of cool-ness....*even me! But me commenting on my own blog would be strange. I s'pose in a way, my posts ARE a comment on my blog, and you'd be commenting about my comments o_0
How confusing is that?*
Anyways again,
Yeah.
Pretty sure that I've got to make les pates a la sauce bolonaise right now,
Off to the onion chopping board!
*silence for 2 minutes...*
*screams of pain and sorrow due to onions..*
Ok,
Back after a half-hour of eating.
Mm.
I make a mean spaghetti bolognese. *nods*
My Dad on the other had *in my opinion* doesn't...
Also, his spaghetti bolognese sauce is about 2 standard drinks worth...
Mm.
You know how you've got to add a small glass of wine to add flavour?
Well,
My dad adds a small bottle...
Yes.
You feel QUITE warm and nice+fuzzy feeling after one of HIS sauces.
*pose*
I'm quite cheerful this 'arvo. Don't know why.
After all, you could "pour my life into a paper cup", so I've no reason to..
*beams for no reason*
See?!
It's madness...
Mebbe I am mad?
Mebbe you all are a figment of my imagination...
yesss...
So hallucinations of my troubled mind,
What are your opinions upon parties with/without alcohol?
I, personally, think that a party is SOO much more enjoyable without alcohol.
But,
Everyone else seems to think the opposite.
Why!?!? You don't need to be high on drugs to have fun!
lmao,
You can be high on life!!
But it's true.
I have so much more fun when my friends aren't off their faces/talking about how they were off their faces/talking about how they should get off their faces again...o_0
It gets boring and irritating.
Alcohol is a depressant..
Thus,
It's not supposed to be used for fun.
It's supposed to kill off brain cells, and help you wallow in self-pity, and generally have a nice quiet time by yourself.
Not something you want to be doing during Yr 12/11/any year of highschool.
But,
People seem to find it amusing and fun to get so pissed that the world is spinning around them, and they can't put together a cohesive argument/even sentence in some cases!! *someone trying to convince others to go for a swim while pissed comes to mind...*
*sighs in Councillor Joe-like way*
I find that getting high on Pepsi or other soda products much more enjoyable and less damaging to yourself (unless of course you're thinking of teeth...)
Mm.
So is riding.
That's exhilarating.
Pretty sure that I've GOT to get away from the house this weekend.
Grr.
GOT to get away for a day...

Guitar-playingness!

2006-03-28T20:46:00.000+08:00

Yay for guitars!
Gotta love 'em.
Hm.
Not sure,
But I think that the guitar has got to be the best instrument ever created *nods*
So cool just to jazz around on cool sounding chords (gotta love F, Am, D and G ^^)
Yeah.
Well.
I'll offer a more in-depth analysis of how long I've played it (comment temps je la jouais? *practice for French oral next Thursday/Friday*).
Yes.
Well,
Last October-ish,
I decided that I was quite bored with music.
I wanted to drop the flute, etc etc, and just sorta leave it.
Now we don't want that do we?
So,
To avert this problem of tiredness, I decided that I needed to pick up an*other* instrument.
So, which instrument did I take....
Go on...
Guess....
..
Oh,
wait,
The post is about guitars....
:S
Well,
Yes, I chose the guitar *hopeful gasps from audience*
Mm.
So,
I just started to look up tabs for all those rock/metal/other genre songs that I love,
and just started to memorise them.
I believe that the first tab I learnt was Stairway to Heaven, then Babe I'm Gonna Leave You,
and then I just expanded from there.
Currently,
I'm learning several Red Hot Chili Peppers songs *nods*
They're evilevilevilevil!
Grr.
I've mastered the intro to Under The Bridge, Fortune Faded, By The Way, and Wassitcalled *ie, don't know the name of third*
But from there, it's 0_0.
Mm.
Very difficult.
However I CAN play Otherside +solo (which isn't that difficult)
and I can play Fear Of The Dark (- fast solo), Wasted Years, The Evil That Men Do, Enter Sandman, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Wherever I May Roam, Smoke On Water (:P, who DOESN'T know how to play that? lol) and several other rifts which I can't remember the names for.
Anyways,
The only problem with all of these songs of coolness,
Is that I only have a BLOODY ACOUSTIC GUITAR OF GAY!!!!!
Argh!!!!!
Damn them all!! *ie, people who refuse to give me a Warrior for free, and electric guitars for free in general*
I wish I had a bloody elec. guitar.
*sigh*
Rock songs just don't sound RIGHT on an acoustic >.<
And my skill on the electric guitar is diminished, because I've needed to press so firmly upon the frets for acoustic,
I almost do bends while on an elec. :S,
Mm.
Too easy to play notes.
And the stance for elec-playing is bizarre...
So used to needing a knee to support my acoustic.
Meh.
At least I have skills at hammer-ons etc.
And callouses...
^^
The reward of learning the acoustic so intensly and long.
I have very good callouses *nods head*
However,
Because my metal strings have traces of copper in them...
Yes.
They are a little greenish-blue
0_O
But nonetheless cool.

Mm.
Now I need to save $7/900 after Sydney so I can get a Warrior + mehness amp.
Yeah.
That's such a coooool guitar.
*sighs in wistfulness*
Damn them to the seventh ring of hell/an English classroom.

Seey'all later.
Might update this post with cool pic later, but meh.

I hate parents...Evil daemons!!

2006-03-28T20:10:00.000+08:00

Argh.
Parents are eeeviiil.
I hate them.
*sniffs*
Damn them to further rings of hell....
*sigh*
Well,
You see..
ANOTHER argument this 'arvo,
Which had the result of me losing...
Mm.
Consequences...
APPARANTLY,
I'm not allowed to go out on my daily 1 hour bike ride anymore...
And I have to devote another hour to my study program...
Hmph.
I have NOT had a good day today.
All the little 'uns were rude towards me in the morning...so that put me in a bad mood.
By the time 2nd period was over, I was ready to stick my head in a large beaker of potassium permangenate (which by the way, is carcenogenic *ie, poisonous*. Btw x 2, did you know that during WWII, when women couldn't wear stockings, they sort of skimmed their legs with KMnO4 *potassium permangenate* so that it seemed that they DID have stockings....yes...this was obviously BEFORE they knew it was poisonous lololol)
But,
I had a good recess, which pulled me through to lunch, which pulled me through to the end of the day. *nods*
I think that during the holidays I may go exploring..
Not one of my usual explorations *ie, around various neighborhoods*,
But around the region of Perth!
...
Mebbe not..
It seemed like a good idea for a moment.
I mean, exercise induces endorphins, thus, making you happy...
So I thought that riding close to 300 k's would make lots of these happy thingys!
..
But then,
I realised that riding that much in a week would mean that I would=dead/abducted by random people in white vans,
So,
That's that.
Mm.
I feel like some icecream now, so I shall imagine that we have some icecream and that I am eating it...
*mmm*
Going off to lack-of-sleep-induced-hallucinations!

Thank the gods/random quantum physics

2006-03-26T18:10:00.000+08:00

Depends on your views.
I mean, if you can PROVE to me, with hard evidence, that gods DO exist, and they sit in their mystical seats of power, having fun throwing thunderbolts at people and creating new and improved viruses,
then I'll believe that they exist.
*takes a breathe*
Yes.
But,
For now,
I believe in "random" (or just very difficult-to-work-out-predictably) occurances at the quantum level,
and that I don't understand a single bit of it.
However, before you have a go at me,
Quantum physics + technology etc, have lots of very complicated long equations and numbers which say it's real.
Thus.
It's obviously true.
I mean, if it was too easy for the commen man to understand,
then there's something wrong with the theory!!
Mm.
What was I talking about?
...
Hrm.....
....

...
Wait a few minutes....
..It'll come to me......
..
*looks at previous entry in blog*
Aha!
Yes.
iPodness!
Yes. Thank the gods/really long complicated and hard to get to grips with equations.
My iPod has been reincarnated from the ashes! (ie, it's started to work properly).
Mebbe it's because I accidentaly spilt water on it...(yes...very alarming at the time!!o_0),
or mebbe because I fully installed an update which I didn't know it was downloading at the time...
Hrm.
Doesn't explain why it was working the night before...
Meh.
I'm technologically inept. *nods* It either works/doesn't work/is in lots of little pieces from the traditional male method of fixing things.
Yes.
I'm worse than the girls in my French class.
Mm.
Damnit...
Why am I always the designated "tech-guy" in French?!
Whenever Ms Casey has a problem with something to do with technology she looks at me! Why!?!?
It always requires a group effort to get something "not working" working again...
*sigh*
Damn stereotypes....
Well,
I am changing the Y12 generation with my non-conformitism!
Rock! Metal! Old music! Long hair! Flute/Piccolo playingness! Random monochrome fashion!

Yes.
I stand against the tide of rap*hate hate kill*, pop, homey-dawgs, and emotism that resides in our Yr12 society.
That's why you should elect me as the next dictator of the world.....
...
What's that?
There hasn't been a previous dictator of the world?!?!?!?!
Well.
You'll have to put a stop to that madness....

By electing me! Meee!!! (I don't care if there isn't an election...you should elect me anyways....)

wtf!??!
My iPod of coolness has gone absolutely mad!
Why!?!?!?! whywhywhywhywhywhy!?!?
ARGH!
You see,
Last night,
I often go to bed listening to music. So, when I closed my eyes, it was jamming along on the speaker of cool as it usually does.
Now,
I was sorta suprised that this morning the speaker wasn't working (light wasn't turning on).
I have a feeling that the speaker is to blame for some reason...
So,
When I press play, it just skips through all the song titles without actually PLAYING anything.
And when I look in the photo section, the photo "frames" of all my pics are there, but you can't see anything!!!
ARGH
All my files...photos....music....
Somebody is going to feel pain for this....
The corporate puppet masters are to blame....yesss.....*picks up axe*

Stupid sad music...
You see, my parents have been gay and gone out, but they left their stereo in their room turned on.
I can still hear it...
It's playing stupid soppy/sad songs like "I'd Lie For You", "Heaven Can Wait" etc.
It's gay.
And it's getting me down.
So,
As my iPod is still being charged, I can't counteract it with headphoneness.
..
Mm.
So I'm writing blog posts to relieve some rage/stress/sadness.
So.
What should I talk about?
Should I talk about how there always seems to be a lack of things to talk about when I'm writing blog entries?..
Mm.
Yes.
There always seems to be a lack of things to talk about when I'm writing blog entries...
Hmmmm.
That didn't last very long.
Ok.
..
*thinks for a bit*
Bah.
Life stinks sometimes.
It seems that the universe is against you, and you just become overcome by a sense of "world-weariness" *sigh*
This is where my friends all think I'm emo.
Damn them.
It dosn't really help...
And then I get grumpy.
Ooh.
I know what I can talk about!
This supposed "mildness" of mine.
Well,
I s'pose that I AM a little mild about SOME things.
Leik,
When I get "angry" ("quote, unquote" is what I'd normally say :P), I don't REALLY get angry if you know what I mean?
You see,
Most of my friends (probably none of them) have never actually seen me 'pissed off'.
They've only seen me at the most at the 'irritated' stage of grumpiness.
Mostly around them, I sort of mutter a bit, and not talk to them for a bit.
But, other than my temper, I'm not really "mild" in any other sense.
It's just everyone seems to make a judgment upon one of my finer aspects, and they tease me about it *scowl*
However, I don't often get excited/pleased/joyous either, so that might be a reason why they persist.
I'm a very..reserved..person I think.
It makes people appreciate my compliments a bit more. *nods*
....
Stupid music *sniffs*
Yeah.
I can be very intense/enthusiastic about other things.
But right at this moment,
I'm not very intense about continuing this one-way conversation,
So I shall bid thee farewell.

Photos of Randomness!

2006-03-24T16:58:00.001+08:00

Yes.
Random photos returns.
Unfortunatly,
This time round, it's not of the ball.
I am still scouring for those.......
So,
I've decided to show you guys a few random photos of things/cool dog around my house, and tell you a little about each of them.
So,

First up: The useless thermometer thing!! (I told you they were random...)
Yes.
It has, for it's entire lifespan, pointed to a wonderful 28 degrees Celcius.
Mm.
Three years...
Pretty sure, that it hasn't been 28 degrees for that entire period of time...
Although...
It COULD have been...
We could have all been dreafully sick, and experienced heat fluctuations, and all the technology in the world *except for the thermometer* experienced technical difficulties.
THEN
It could have been 28 degrees celcius for 3 years straight...
Somehow..
I doubt that..
But you never know! ^^

Mm.
I'm feeling down now,
So I shall go and sit by the thermometer of uselessness, and feel better about myself + English/Maths.
Sure I'll continue this post later!

Byes!

Haha!
Success!!
I have managed to fight off the stupid virus-thingymabob, that was preventing me from getting to the internet on my computer!!
Muahaha!
Before now, I had to use me Dad's computer thingy, so I had limited access.
But now!
I can do so many more things with the freedom of time that my computer allows me!!
...
Like..
Ummm...
....
*thinks for a bit*
.....
Yeah.
Nothing much really.
Hurrah for no social life!
*sighs*
I COULD go to Ant's party tomorrow...
But..
Nooo....I don't think sooo....
Partly because I don't want to be around them when they're getting off their faces on alcohol
*scowls*
So irritating.
Hmmm..
Mebbe I could go riding! Meh. I'd do that anyway. Or or or or I could.....
Hmm.
..
Not much to do.
*looks at Chemistry homework evilly*
*mutters* "Stupid Chemistry"*
Don't think I'll be doing any of THAT (shall not utter the evil word of doom..)
*sighs*
I think that I must eventually though...
Mebbe Sat night I'll do homework...
ARGH
I spoke the word!!
Now my toungue burns with a raging fire and my soul is being wrenched from my body!

Hello. Everything is fine. Please ignore my last couple of sentences.
Perhaps you would like to come over here and do some homework with me.
Yesss....come little ones so that I may eat your souls....

2006-03-23T21:46:00.000+08:00

This guys pretty cool to listen to.
Ant reckons he's a poof, but the only time he EVER heard him play was when he was high on sugar+friends, and he usually keeps first impressions 'cause he's a tool.
So,
I want to dismiss anything that he/others may of told you.
Yeah.
He might be a bit of a poof.
But he makes good music.
Really light rock.
Nice music to relax and sit back to.
Anyway, I'll continue this post later as my Dad calls for me to approach the guillotine block *ie, bed :'(*
So
Yeah.

The piccolo.

2006-03-23T21:35:00.000+08:00

Right.
I've had enough of stupidness in the band.
So you think that the tiny little piccolo is an easy instrument to play compared to such a large instrument like the trombone or tuba etc etc?
Well
YOU'RE BLOODY WRONG!!
ARGH.
I almost hyperventilate just hitting some of my highest notes. And it's SO bloody hard to play quietly!!!
Ok,
Imagine something where you have to blow heaps of air for some reason.
Blowing up a helium balloon will do for now.
Now,
Multiply that by 10000 fold and you get about how much bloody air you have to put into the thing to even get a squeek! Argh
For flute players,
It's like you're ALWAYS playing one octave higher (ie, my lowest note, D, is the middle octave for the flute o_0).
Grrrr.
Stupid brass... (le paperclip!!! Muahahaha!)
Yes,
Well,
Anyways, I just wanted to sort out that little misunderstanding which some musicians/people might have *nods*
I hope from this, you have learnt, that smaller things aren't always easier than big things.....

Signing off,

Sydney Tour thingy.....sort of waves flag

2006-03-23T21:13:00.000+08:00

Yay.....
Mm.
If you guys want to see what's up with our Music tour of Sydneyness, then you can go to
www.duncraigmusicsydney06.blogspot.com.
It's pretty cool,
And you can see Ms T's creative genius..
Oooh!
Photo-stealage!
*steals*
Muahahaha!
I shall die a happy damned man!!
Anyways, see you guys la-ter.

:'( :'(!! I hate matrices and hotels put together!!!

2006-03-23T20:45:00.000+08:00

Argh!!!
I BOMBED some investigation today.
Liek,
REALLY bombed this test.
Liek,
I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get a single mark for my answers..:'(
I hate it...
I hate it I hate it I hate it!!
*sighs painfully*
Mebbe I'll get SOME marks...hopefully...
Anyways,
Was-up in the house my ni-gas..
..
How are y'all?
Feeling pleased with yourselves because you all got C's in your interim report?
Well here's a bubble-burster that'll prove to you that your reports don't show how you're doing in your subjects (which may be a good OR bad thing depending on how you ARE going :P)
Here it is..
I got C's in ALL columns for English..
Yeah..
Even demonstrating knowledge or something like that.
Mm.
Now THAT's a joke.
Made me burst out laughing/in tears (a mixture of both..) with Brando.
Ma note en francais est beaucoup plus bon than my English mark!!
How embarrassing is that?...

*sighs again*
I'm depressed about my math's mark, so I shall say good day to you all and then leave.
Not really.
I can't say "Good day" to you all for a couple of reasons:
a) "You all", may be as huge as 4 billion people for all I know. And I can hardly *bother* tell you all "Good Day".
b) I'm not actually saying it, I'm writing it. Not even writing. TYPING!
*sigh*
I hate maths..

Signing off,

Guess and Check!!

2006-03-22T20:59:00.000+08:00

Argh!
I hate this...
It takes hours on end!!
Grr.
And it's the only bloody way to complete this stupid stupid maths investigation of death...
*sigh*
Only three weeks to go...Then the term..shall be over!!
*cheers*
But that means that it'll be three weeks closer to Sem 1 exams and the TEE...
*opposite of cheers*
I'm not looking forward to the exams...probably because I'll have to get a 70-something in my English exam to bring my mark up to a reasonable able-to-be-scaled-down average of 60ish...
hmm..
Still.
I must look on the bright side of death.
If I DO manage to pull off a miracle (ie, pass scaled English), then I'll get a really good TER due to Physics (gotta love A's without a minutes study ^^), French (yay for 70s!! Not so yay for *hate* listening.....I HATE LISTENING COMPREHENSIONS *sobs for a bit*...)
, and perhaps Maths..
Hmm.
Maths....
I'm not sure that I'll do as well in Maths this year as I did last.
Probably because I don't study enough Maths (less than 1 hour a week:P)..
ya.
I know.
I SHOULD study more Maths buuut...
Chemistry...
Argh. Why does it require so much work?!?!?!?!?. You have to memorise a bazzilion stupid little useless bits of information, which tell you things you don't even need to know!!
Hmph.
I don't even know half of the bloody equations...
*sigh*
I only get by on random topics. Like, I see a question and I'm stupefied...and then the next question and I'm leik "Hey! I know how to do that!", and so on and so forth.....
At least it's better than what I started off doing in Yr 11....
History.
Yes.
I studied HISTORY for a little bit...
A very little bit...
Very...very...teensy tiny little.
Four days to be exact..
Mm.
It was bad...
I had some guy (Mr M-somethingorother), who was just SOOOOO boring..
Even more boring than Mr James..
Yeah.
THAT bad!
Leik seriously.
Second lesson.
He got sidetracked and started talking about tea-coseys. Now normally this wouldn't be soo bad.
But.
HE WAS TALKING FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR!!! ARGH!
I seriously fell asleep!! On the front desk!! AND HE DIDN'T NOTICE!!!!
I would have done soooooooooo badly in that class, it's not funny.
Although, mebbe I would've learned how to remember stuff. But meh.
Yes.
History was veeerry boring.
I'm sure that if I had a teacher like Mr Deacon, I would've been interested! (Mr Deacon is.....
very enthusiastic...about his work...yes...)
But.
I didn't.
So.
After 4 days.
I changed into Chemistry, the subject where chemical titration daemons rule your mind for an hour, as you slowly get murdered by carcenigenic (or however you spell it) gases.
lmfao.
Ah.
Last year,
I had an awsome chem group^^
Cathi, Kim, Alicia, and Josh for those who know them.
We had SO many amusing stories.
But this is one that sticks in my mind..
Once upon a time, there was an experiment where our teacher was stupid, and we didn't use a fumehood like we were supposed to. So, we filled up the room with lots of little pockets of deadly poisonous gases.
But,
Cathi, Kim and Alicia decided "Hey, if we only put a single granual of this substance into the solution, it'll be a slow reaction. So let's put a whole bunch in!!"
Everyone got out of the classroom...VERY fast.
And then the teacher thought that me and Josh did it!!! Cathi, Kim + Alicia were cacking themeselves the whole time.
Ahh.
So good.

Anyways, I'm tired of telling you young'uns/old'uns/three-armed googly-eyed with big teeth'uns, of my stories.
So.
I shall rest. And do some more of my bloody Maths assignment *sniff*

Signing off,

Riding!!

2006-03-21T20:22:00.000+08:00

One of my favourite time-wasters (or as they say "past-times" meh.)
Ahh.
So good..
....
Aw my gawd...
I've just realised how much riding I do.....
..
wow..
Ok.
Now,
I do AT LEAST 10k's two or three times a week right?
So this means I do ~100 k's a month..
Which is about 1000 k's a year...
For the past three years....
..
I could've ridden to Kalgoorlie and back!!

Anyways,
Ahh.
So many memories of riding.
A couple of "sagas" as well (see earlier post for reference to "Sagas").
One of them..
lmfao.
Ah
Too good.
You see, me and Brando, who's pretty cool, decided one day that just for fun *bashes head against table at this point*
we'd ride to Kalamunda one day.....
why?...
We didn't know...
So we decided to visit Katherine!
Now, TECHNICALLY, we only rode from "G-something-or-other station" (not "Oat's Street) (of course later, I actually did half the ride properly from my place in Duncraig)
But nonetheless....
Very long...
We had noodles up there (heavenly bliss, a gift of angels at the time), stayed for some 15/30minutes, and then rode back.....
Well, pushed back for half of it (my bike tyres exploded at one point *my parents must be getting worried about that thumping noise*). I almost got crushed by a truck....and we took a "shorter way" (NEVER TAKE A SHORTER WAY!!) which involved riding on a gutter thing with gravel, into oncoming traffic.....
Mm.
That was ...rememberable....

Ah.
Riding is so fun.^^. Except when you have asthma attacks....speaking of that, two minutes...
*gasping for breath*
Ok. I'm back. (albeit a bit dizzy)
Yes. Riding.
It is so stress-relieving. I mean, it doesn't relieve any stress or worry, but by the time you're finished, you're so bloody exhausted, you don't really give a damn lol.
Yes.
Too bad I didn't go on that 30k race the other Sunday. It would've been pretty cool.
But then again, I would of had to ride back home afterwards... (+20k's :P).
Yeah.
It's about all the exercise that I get :P. Shame it dosn't build up your biceps/triceps (whatever young males are worried about nowadays).
Mebbe I could do push-ups on the handles!...
*shudders at thought*
Ok, mebbe not.
I should go to a gym methinks. But it's boring if you go by yourself...*mutter mutter* Joe= By hiself
*sigh*
Meh
Anyways,

Signing off

Breakfast...hmm.

2006-03-21T20:04:00.000+08:00

Why is everbody so fussy about breakfast?
I'm sure you can survive a school day without breakfast. That's why they invented tea and coffee people!!
The majority of France manages to get by without breakfast....
Yes.
People are hassling me to eat breakfast..hmph.
So,
I have created this post as a declaration that for at least the next week or so, I SHALL be eating my morning meal..
*gasp from audience*
Yes. That's right.
And apparantly, coffee beans and tea leaves soaked in water doesn't count...
I shall also declare that I hate cars. Especially big grey ones that try and run you over...
Yes.
I went exploring on my bike right? I don't know half the streets in Duncraig..so, I went around in random directions for a bit (generally following the downhill streets :P lolol),
and then I tried to find my way around by turning down other random streets ...
So,
There was this evil learner person right? In a grey car..
I swear he/she was following me... And then, when I thought I lost it....
I turned a corner and it was bearing down upon me!! I almost became "Really Flat and Mangled Joe"!...only my bike skills, my reaction time (which is usually that of a three-toed sloth....I've heard that four/five (whatever) -toed sloths have pretty good reaction times.....
.. not really) and my devilishly ridiculous good looks prevented such a horrible/fantastic fate (depends on who's POV really. :P).
Mm.
Breakfast and riding...
Drive throughs!
Ahhh,
So funny.
I'll tell you guys later :P

Signing off,

I hate homework....

2006-03-20T20:27:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a society without homework.
Because the immigration rate of students was so high,
the island-paradise (which had the compulsery dewdrops smile children, flower petals floating from the sky, bunny rabbits etc etc) eventually collapsed into itself with the sheer weight of people on it.
This is the true story of Atlantis.
I hope from this mystical and heart-wrenching story you have learnt, as I have, to
DETEST HOMEWORK IN ALL IT'S RED-EYED DAEMON EVILNESS!!!! ARGH!
I have too much homework methinks....
Chemistry is ~2 kilos.....English...
don't get me started on English.... *sighs painfully*
Maths....hm....I have an investigation which I should REALLY get done. But meh. I have..umm..other important and time-consuming stuff to do...like sit around and procastinate *nods*
Physics is, thankfully, the easiest subject in the world. Although...I have NEVER done a piece of French homework in my life...:P I DON'T know why I'm getting pretty good grades lol.
Actually,
Yes I do.
It's because I'm so goddamn intelligent and good-looking....
*coughs*....
Quiet you! I don't even have to hear you to know what you say now.....
At least I have Music.
We've already finished our composition to the max :P o_O!
It's so cool.
Now all we need to do is practice a bit,
Find out how to fit some ~20 +ish students in a small practice room,
Jazz a bit more with the solo bit (yay for bass line),
and...
yeah..
That's. About. It.

Hm.
Now all we need to do, is hunt down and murder the person who invented homework..in fact...work in GENERAL,
and then *in my happy deluded world* Atlantis shall exist all over the world!!
There won't be any of this collapsing stuff!
Yay....

Signing off dreamily,

Jeesus :P

2006-03-19T20:24:00.000+08:00

Well.
That wasn't fun..
I just had the BIGGEST row with my parents...
Bet you could've hear it MILES away :P.

Anway.
How are all ya'lls?
Bet *most of* you are preeetty pleased with your going-to-paintballness-factor. However,
YOU shall all have bruises! And you will have been hot! And sweaty!
While on the other hand,
I had to endure the GRUELLING task of sitting in my room most of the day (airconditioned room) playing guitar, doing some homework, chatting to Kat, and then I had to be DRAGGED to band where I suffered the horrible physical exercise of playing the flute...
..
If you didn't catch on, I was being sarcastic. It wasn't "gruelling" at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
Just making sure you know. You can't be too sure how unintelligent the people reading this are.
I mean,
You COULD be one of those funny monkeys which you see on cartoons, who play around on computers. I'm sure THEY wouldn't understand sarcasm.
Actually...
I've just realised that some of you aren't much better than hairy primates. It's just that some of you are slightly less hairy (or not so, as I've heard in the case of so-called "Mike").

Hm
I'm hungry.
This means that I shall follow my primate instincts and go to the fridge to get a tub of yoghurt or something.
Signing off,

New CDs!!!

2006-03-18T19:05:00.000+08:00

Yay!
More music!!

I've bought a couple more CDs right?
^^
They're so cool.
First off...
The one I've been wanting for so long...
The Metallica album - S&M!!!
Yayness!
It's soo cool!! They play with an orchestra! All the songs are just...wait..too much "so cool"ness...hmm...they're.....
..
..
Meh..TOO COOL!!
Oh my gawd.
I love listening ot them. The orchestra REALLY compliments the sound of the band. And the lead guitarist just rocks.
Ah. So good.

Also.
I bought a random cheap Meat Loaf album (The Best - Heaven Can Wait or something),
And I have to admit that they *haha* rock!
So fars,
My favourite songs are "Bat Out Of Hell", "Heaven Can Wait" and "I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth)" lol.
Good stuff there. I like the tone of Meat Loaf and that other person singing. Very strong. Also it's the sort of music I enjoy laying back and listening to, not too attention-needing.
I think that I may have to add Meat Loaf to one of the "fav" bands, although towards the bottom of the small list...

Anyways,
Signing off,

Haha! Comments!

2006-03-18T18:46:00.000+08:00

Ha! Finally! I have found the excuse that *most of* you all use for not commenting on my blog!
Muahaha!
Kat said something about you having to have a blogspot thingy for you to be able to comment...
How do we rectify this problem?...
Hm...
*thinks for a bit*...

*has a cup of coffee*.....

I know!

No I don't...
Just thought it might come to me in a flash of brilliance, when I uttered the words "I know".
But, obviously,
It didn't.
Thus
We still have a problem. Well I do. You might see it as an excuse. *mutter*
Weeeelll....
The only way I can see the problem sol-ved, is that you go to all the effort of creating a random blogspot.com thing, so that you may bless yourselves by commenting on my blog......
...
Or I could find a way around said problem. Which I shall do with post-haste!
Okies.
Time to practice my hacking skills. *stretches fingers*
*pauses*
Welll.....I COULD just see the help section.....
..
But that's too simple!
It's obviously a conspiracy to get our money...WATCH OUT!

Anyways, I'll send you guys a solution when find it out,
Signing off,

strums guitar a bit while thinking of title....Can't think of one!!

2006-03-16T20:14:00.000+08:00

Yay! Lack-of-creativeness!
Not really...
I mean, isn't human's ability to create and compose stuff one of the things that seperates us from the animals?
Hmm.
That means that I'm more animal than human...wait...aren't humans animals?
Quick question. What do you think you'd be if you were suddenly warped into the animal representitive of yourself. Be serious about this silly question.
Anyways,
From that attempted life-changing comment,
How are y'alls?
I havn't heard that many comments on this blog recently, so I'm starting to think that you all find it boring. Meh. If you don't read this post, then you're BORING, unintelligent, and definitley not as ridiculously good-looking as I am.
If you do.
Then you're simply definitely not as ridiculously good-looking as I am. *nods*

Hm.
Guitars are cool.....so are books...*trying to get blog topic by saying random things*
I want more ball photos!!
Damn it.
Stupid CD thing that expires in April.
I only just had a look at the TONNES of photos on the CD that I might want to buy...
I want to buy so many!! Argh. It's going to cost sooo much. I tried my best to narrow down the ones which I didn't think were necessary, but even then, I had leik ~15ish photos which I simply HAD to get.
*sigh* It just goes to show you that even this random photographer guy is out to get me too...
But I shall show him!/her! !
I shall hack into said CD! And then I shall all photos forevermore!!!! Muahahaha! *cue omnious organ music*
By the way, speaking of organ music!
Our composition in Music rocks! Not really. It's got nothing to do with rock. It is simply really really really cool.
It switches styles a few times, but in combination with the acting, and the overall goodness of the music, it is sooo cool!! I am a hunchback! Not literally. Just in the musical arrangement. :P/

Anyways. My computer is being really gay. So I've got to go for now
*attempts to fix computer intelligently..*
*fails*
*resorts to traditional male method of fixing things (ie, bashing with a hammer until it works)*
*fails* (suprisingly!)
...*tries to put the pieces together and be much more sensible about it*..
*fails*.............
*walks off. Has cup of coffee, and tries to feel better abou it*...
*succeeds!!*

Signing off,

bites lip worriedly I dunno..

2006-03-15T18:53:00.000+08:00

'lo guys.
How are you all? I'm meh just in case any of you are interested...probably not *mutter mutter*
I dunno, as the title suggests.
I'm panicking over absolutely nothing and everything.
Will I pass English (I had a very depressing hour in English today, because Catherine Davies wiped the floors with her oral presentation *cries* and juxtaposed next to my own, I looked like a babbling fool (which probably isn't far from the truth...)
I'm also stressing over several issues which I don't think the majority of you are important enough to hear about...
Oh yeah?...
You think you are??....
Are you the president of America?....Yes??..you are??...
That isn't very important you know.
It's probably the opposite of important....*looks for thesaurus* *fails*...can't be bothered thinking about it.
Anyway,
If you're important enough I MIGHT tell you about it at school.
But meh.
You probably aren't.
You probably aren't even reading this blog, which means you're even less important. But before I get sidetracked into telling you all just how important each and every one of you are..
Yes.
I'm having a losing-hair moment :(.
Just thought you might be interested.

Ooh! I forgot!

2006-03-14T20:56:00.000+08:00

Oh my gawd!
I forgot ALL about the "Cool School Race" that went on last year!
Oh my gawd!
It was soo Cool!
Oh my gawd!
I'll think I'll stop saying that!
Anway,
As the names suggests,
It WAS a race.
There WERE schools involved.
And..
yes.
It WAS cool!
Actually, it was very cold..but we'll get to that bit in a moment!

Okies.
Well,
It started, on a Saturday.
As many days do.
1/7th of them in fact.
And we turned up to Carine highschool or something. And then suddenly, we were given information to go to the Swan River before 11am!!
And the camp pretty much progressed like that :P. Lot's of running around trying to solve puzzles to find where we were staying/the finish line was.
I remember sleeping outside in a sleeping bag (veeerrry cold in the morning at 5:00!!! *very*) and having very little to eat (only on the race/camp thing did I realise the wonderous joys of a sausage in a piece of bread...).
Yes
It was fun.
For one of the tasks we could do for extra points, we had to get a photo with a famous person!.
For a time, as we were rushing to the bus station, we put our heads together and then came up with the perfect solution....
Santa!!
So we went down and got a photo (it was free! And we got Myers teddy bears!!) with the big red guy, and it was cool.
Mm.
Yes.
T'was.
I'll quickly show you guys the photo, and then run away from the computer, 'cause I'm not supposed to be awake right at the moment, and I'm hiding under the desk writing this last sentence.
So.
Signing off (very quickly!)

More Photos!!

2006-03-13T19:36:00.000+08:00

Arr, me harties....
*ahem* Sorry.
I was just watching a TV advertisement about fish sticks and a penguin or something.
Anyway! As the title suggests, there are more photos! (which also happen to be conviniently on other people's MySpace and blog (muahahaha..haha.ha..)..

Me+The girls....don't you even think of making a comment about my long hair *threatens with viruses*

Josh was hell pimping here lol. Gotta love his suit! Meistro boy!!

Here's a picture of us standing outside the cool limo, and me turning my face away so that they'll have the courtesy of at least ONE good photo....

After ball area. It's a massive backyard. Lots of scary people....

Ooh. On a note about the afterball: I'm having lots of fun telling people who can't remember anything about ALL the things they did that night, because they were teasing me about me not being off my face. hehehe. Evil. Yes. I know. But it's fun ^^. One of the perks of not getting pissed.

Ok.

Well. That's it..for now....

See ya'll later.
