Just As I Thought.

Fabio Grosso and Lucas Neill fight for the ball in what would turn out to be the deciding moment that would decide the Socceroos fate. To bad it was another pathetic decision against the Aussies that cost us the chance to beat Italy, but somehow I knew that we would get shown no respect after the previous matches which has been marred by very dubious referring decisions.

But to have achieved what they did was a tribute to the Socceroos and show's that its not all about talent but having Heart and giving 100%. We salute you guys!

The 2 Day Effect.

It’s bad enough that it’s Monday but when you suffer The 2 day effect as well makes it even harder! Let me explain The 2 day effect, you have a big night out (or day) and 2 days later you wake up feeling like you took on Mike Tyson. Well for me it was being awake for 20 hrs (of which 12 hrs was work), went to the Rodney Rude concert with Bundy and then to the casino for a birthday party.

The fun bit was getting 6 hrs sleep yesterday then helping Clae paint four bloody big rooms (well it felt like it at the time) in his new house yesterday in recovery mode. I got home and laid on the couch for an hour in a semi comatose state.

Saturday was pretty damn busy, I managed to get the insulation batts home and nearly took out a f*cken idiot in a commodore who pulled out in front of me on the way home!

The most weirdest thing about the entire night was walking into The Ruby Room at the casino and seeing Christine there! I was dumb founded as the chances of that occurring are pretty damn rare. So I teased her about stalking me and then had a good chat before she got whisked away by a friend. Unfortunately I didn’t see her again after that and about 2am I did a Cartman “screw you guys I’m going home!”

But before Christine left she invited me to her birthday party in a few weeks time so should be interesting! The only bad thing is that I won’t know anyone, its at a trendy bar where all the “IT” people hang out or is that pretentious people? As I said earlier, should be an interesting night, might have to think of a back up plan if I get bored.

I will also mention that the NBA draft is in a couple of days and with Portland having the 4th pick overall and trying to get rid of a few players it will be interesting to see what happens.

And finally a big GOODLUCK to the Socceroos against Italy later on tonight, I hope they kick some butt!

Great World Cup Moments!

Can it get any better than this???

Great World Cup Moments Again

Harry Kewell scores the equaliser to send Australia through to the next round against Italy!

Can't wait for the weekend!

Howdy,

Another glorious day at work and it’s a Saturday! Well it was a bloody freezing start to the day with the temperature getting down to 2 degree’s.

Ok, so not to bore the sh*t out of everyone (including myself) I will very quickly go through last week’s events:

- Got the split system installed, got 100 bucks discount for helping out.
- Christine mentioned the dreaded “F” word! To all the women out there that don’t understand, that word is “friend”. Need I say anymore
- Getting some insulation batts for half price through work, hella sweet.
- Going out tonight with April (chic that I meet at the Deen 3 weeks ago) and her friend J
- Getting free carpet from Clae for the 3rd bedroom.
- NO WORK TOMORROW!

Next week’s agenda in no particular order:

- Install insulation batts
- Get tested at salsa to pass intermediate two
- Going to see Rodney Rude next Saturday night with Bundy
- Really must wash the car!
- Watch the Socceroo’s play Brazil, Go the Roo’s!
- AND SLEEP IN TOMORROW!

Later…

Saturday humour!

The Fast and the Furious (CAT)

Got bored and decided to do some mods to this wheel loader...

How to tell if your driving to fast!

Panadol please...

Another casual Sunday at work and I’m in the cant be bothered mood! Thankfully I have 4 days off tomorrow, but like most things I have to get up early to help install the split system (bugger). Some of the major things that I have to do before July are
- put insulation in to the lounge/kitchen area
- clean out the gutters
- organize to get the carpet laid in the 3rd bedroom
- get some new lino

With the Boss going away for the entire month of July I will be working Monday to Friday for 4 weeks, which will be unusual since I haven’t done it for 3 years. But at least I will be able to go to salsa early and have weekends off like normal people.
I figure that during this time I will take a hiatus from renovating and try and save some money. With the emphasis on TRY!

Thursday was another different night at salsa, as I missed my class due to work, I got there just before the 2nd session of classes began. I only managed to chat to Christine for a couple of minutes before I was helping out another beginner class. The funny thing is that a chic (Mel) who was in my beginner classes with rocked up for the first time in 5 months.

Now I had a thing for Mel as she is fineness multiplied and when the class was over (Christine had left) I somehow found myself social dancing with Mel and thinking of why I shouldn’t ask her out then and there! I somehow chickened out in doing the deed, my only reason was that I didn’t think it was right to do so after only asking Christine out 2 days prior.

SO, if I get the impression that Christine generally isn’t interested and Mel shows up next week (which I’m hoping that she does) then I will be giving her my number. Think I’m gonna need a holiday away in August after all this is over….

You can do it!

All I can say is “what the?”

Salsa Tuesday night and I got there early so helped out a class, in the back of my mind I was only thinking about Christine, but I wasn’t trying to think about the situation to much. Anyways she eventually rocked up and every time I start to chat to her some stooge interrupts! And this night was no different, anyway after the distraction I asked the question of whether she has a boyfriend?

And the answer was NO! I felt like Homer, cos inside my head I was doing a happy dance but I didn’t want to come across as some kind of sleaze or desperate stooge. So during the lesson we start teasing each other until she starts to feel sick, not a good thing. So being the nice guy that I am got her a glass of water and kept her laughing, finally after the class finished we walked out together and I couldn’t hold back, I finally asked THE QUESTION! (I asked her if she wanted to go out sometime)

And thankfully the answer was YES! So not to sure if or when this will occur because she does lead a busy life (work and uni) but at least she knows now that I’m interested and really cant do much more than that!

I just feel like an idiot for thinking that she wasn’t available, it turns out that the guy she was with is an old uni friend, duh!

Me Against The World (continued)

Anyways I messaged back “ok” and got back an sms “how soon can you get here?” After getting the directions (thankfully the place wasn’t that far from my house). I very quickly grabbed a bag with my work uniform in it and I was off! The fact that I had to work the next day did concern me a bit but I thought that I could handle it if I got a few hours sleep. I wont go into to detail as a Gentlemen never tells but I’m sure that any person can use there imagination of what happened after I got there! Let me just say that it was a Loooooong night!

Needless to say I think I got about 30 minutes sleep. I woke up before my phone alarm went off and it was a bit of a mad dash to get dressed before the cold set in. I quickly got going and called in to maccas at east vic park for breakfast, which was a bit of a mistake cos it felt like sh*t afterwards. My boss wondering why I looked like crap gave me a puzzled look when I walked in, the first thing I did was head straight to the coffee machine and had 4 hits! Thank god for caffeine.

I was surprised that I actually managed to last the day without passing out somewhere, it was a pretty busy day so I really didn’t have the chance to relax. By 5pm I was starting to feel it, at 7:15pm I left work and headed home. It didn’t take to long before I was in bed and made sure that my phone was turned off!

It’s funny how things happen when you least expect it, driving home from salsa I was pissed off with the universe and yet a few hours later I was having sex. In some way I’m still disappointed about Christine but nonetheless the search for a girlfriend continues!

Me Against The World!

Last night was one of those nights where you have to wonder! I had only been at salsa for about 15 mins watching from the sidelines the class that i was supposed to be doing. Christine was there and we had started our usual routine of bagging each other out, I had my mind set of asking her out after the end of the class.

Anyways had only been chatting for about 30 secs when I was brushed aside for some stranger. Turns out Christine has a boyfriend! My first thought was "your f*cking kidding me" then I just got hell pissed off and walked away. Feeling like a bug that had just taken on a windscreen and lost! I was in a state of shock for a bit cos it wasnt what I had expected.

As the late and great Tupac sang "Me Against the World" I had this feeling big time. I wasnt really in the mood to dance but anyways I ended up helping out one of the beginners class and left straight afterwards to drown my sorrows at home with the aid of Mr Bourban.

I got home and went straight to bed and watched some shitty survivor episode and before to long it was lights out. At 10pm I hear my phone vibrate, thinking who the hell would sms me at that time of night on a thursday, it was from a female friend that was having ex b/f problems.

We chatted for a while and I told her about the night I had experianced and got an interesting question, 'want to join me in bed?" TO BE CONTINUED....
