if anyone needs to laugh at a *specified* different culture or needs anything translated this option is now available*

hoping I can clear the way by stepping through my shadow

Good evening
Firstly those who have written to me, I do appreciate it, but I barely write to my Mother, so please lower your expectations. Thank you. Also anyone who is in contact with Brad, can you remind him to visit my Mother as a favour to me (by this, I mean, him alone.)

Well the softball team won the first game, then went on to get beaten by a better side in the second game. I still had fun, and I think the team did aswell, we did very well for a team with no actual softball players.

I also played baseball on Sunday morning, and we won the game 6-5. I didnt make any errors in the field (at 2nd base) and I only got 1 from 3 in the hitting department, but luckily that 1 hit was over centre field when we had loaded bases and I got 3 guys home, but they left me stranded on 3rd. I think the team was happy with my performance, so I'm playing again this weekend.

Festival was really cool, maybe I will leave Mark to tell you about it (try to ignore the cynical spin he puts on everything and everyone in life) as I am suffering from a bit of a cold at the moment, and not thinking clearly.

"With your feet in the air and your head on the ground..." (the chorus is the point)

P.S Do not betray my words, it may seem like a good idea, but think twice. She does not want to be bothered by anyone else, do not disrespect my trust.

Ever embracing the random. Ride the Spiral.

I think Tim might appreciate this cartoon...

go cheese this site has taken off. last week there were 4 bloggers, now theres 11!

as chalk as my witness i proclaim randomness to the blog with duckytong as king and me making hats. this hat is for our lovely "editor"/omniscient blog creating diety, the sexy cheese. you can wear it to melbourne cup tomorrow honey.

is this hat postmodern?

Hello to all.

Top marks for those of you who have been posting! Well done!

Now my dear bloggers : would you like topics to discuss each week? OR do you want to carry on this random delight? If it is the former I will be happy to suggests the topics!

Okay dearies.

p.s - Kells, your post was funny. But I have the power to edit your posts whenever I like.... "The beauty of blogging, as compared to writing a book, is that no editor will be interfering with my random spelling and grammar ".

Charlie's words of Wisdom

Charlie is in his seventies, short, italian. Quite italian, really. And he has a brother who owns a lot of property in chicago....

1. Ladies, you're beautiful now. But then you go and get fat and wonder why your husbands leave you.

2. Never carry a purse in your handbag. It's too easy to steal. Instead, keep it down your bra. Noone will steal it from there. (and I'm sure checkout chicks like bosie sweat. Oh yeah)

3. Don't give money to poofters, as they will spend it on poofter things (what they are, and why they are different from anyone elses things, I don't know)

4. I apparently don't fight with the lad because "He is big, but you are small - but smart, eh?" (I would like to see him try and beat me up. Screw the Queen of Marksbury!1)

5. Beer is not good for your liver. Scotch, however, is fine.

eh. thats enough wisdom, for now.although, a note from my mother-"but you've got a bloke - you should be losing weight, not putting it on" 2
strike a blow for liberal thinking everywhere!

1. or even the marquis of queensbury, but i like doyle's version better.
2. in all fairness, this is out of character. and it was more a result of observations about young women, as opposed to an expectation.

AND I DON"T LIKE SEEING MY NEIGHBOUR NAKED

hey marty 9.85 gig on my itunes. one day, i will surpass you.
what is postmodernism? ive been looking for a book on it and i cant find one :( im sure any communications student that reads this will be able to help me as you all seem to be well versed.

Its like tourettes' but with lying

Hi my name is *EVIL LINCOLN* and my hobbies involve *MUTATING MARTIAN MARSH MONKEYS*. I also like *LONG MOONLIGHT WALKS*. I plan to *BUILD A MOBILE TERROR FORTRESS*, conquer the world using banana economics and *CREATE AN ARMY OF RADIO CONTROLLED HAMSTERS*. I am currently employed at *K-MART*.

I thought that this was very appropriate. Its by Douglas Adams (the guy who writes Dilbert. "hey Dilbert! What do you call a guy in middle management who moves up to upper management...A promotion" - Well they can't all be funny)

When I see news stories about people all over the world who are experiencing hardships, I worry about them, and I rack my brain wondering how I can make a difference. So I decided to start my own blog. That way I won't have time to think about other people. People who are trying to decide whether to create a blog or not go through a thought process much like this:
The world sure needs more of ME.

Maybe I'll shout more often so that people nearby can experience the joy of knowing my thoughts.

No, wait, shouting looks too crazy.

I know - I'll write down my daily thoughts and badger people to read them.
If only there was a description for this process that doesn't involve the words egomaniac or unnecessary.

What? It's called a blog? I'm there! The blogger's philosophy goes something like this:
Everything that I think about is more fascinating than the crap in your head. The beauty of blogging, as compared to writing a book, is that no editor will be interfering with my random spelling and grammar, my complete disregard for the facts, and my wandering sentences that seem to go on and on and never end so that you feel like you need to take a breath and clear your head before you can even consider making it to the end of the sentence that probably didn't need to be written anyhoo. If that doesn't inspire you to read my blog, I don't know what will.

YAY! Its trashdance again!

a mad tribute

"I think that the surviving members of the Who should join up with the surviving Beatles, because they need a bassist and a drummer.That would be good. "

who couldn't love him?

Intolerance

I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existence either. See I want to believe you, and I want to trust and I want to have faith to put away the dagger. MJK

Maybe we should post some of the stuff that we find in our Junk mail folders into our own personal blogs. Don't give strangers a bad name and annoy your fellow "Contributors".

To get relevant for a second...

Spiral Out, Keep Going!

tagged from candied stripes' journal. Itunes prophecy.

apparently my itunes is in love with a girl! ME! i did this on my own lj with my sad itunes playlist first and the answers were FREAKY! so i tried it with my happy playlist and this is what i got...doesnt make as much OBVIOUS sense as the last one, but if you read into it it's weird. do it it's fun.

cheeeeeesy...?

soon Marty will be 21 like me. then mark will be and eventually, cheese. at 21, one enters a new phase of life that involves having to be responsible about certain things (apparently). here are 21 things to think about, whether you or i agree or not (i dont quite get 16 and yes they are from one of those annoying email chain letters). discuss at will.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love ! deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

This! ...is Mittens

Like autumn leaves, His sense fell from him, An empty glass of himself, Shattered somewhere within, His thoughts like a hundred moths, Trapped in a lampshade, Somewhere within, Their wings banging and burning, On through endless nights, Forever awake he lies shaking and starving, Praying for someone to turn off the light - Zack De La Rocha

That scares her.
