Tristan

the pav cops it harder than it looks and the guy doesnt look to happy to see it really sould know his opponents name before I post this ridiculous post... ohwell!

His arm looks sticky-taped on by the way!

Trying to listen to the Franz Ferdinand song... "The Dark of the Matinee", the MP3 I have is 160kbps which is reasonable, but no matter how much I tweak the Winamp EQ settings I can't get the slam of the drums after it goes

"But the eeeeeeeyes,
Fight the eeeeeeeeeeyeeees!!" {DRUMdrumDRUMdrumDRUMdrum}

"Find me and follow me, through corridors refactories and
Files, you must follow me the psychadelic factory"

Anywayz... I can't hear the drummy bit so I'm gonna be shitty til I can.
My speakers are good and everything... its just giving me the shits! :P

"The language of hope is much more powerful than the language of fear."

Thats the best thing I heard today... people in power have much to learn from these sorts of statements.

Hi everyone :P im not dead by the way... just been in hospital, sick, etc. Had a hernia. Hurts.
My team won the silver medal for volleyball at the Australian University Games? Thats about the best thing thats happened recently. Uhhh....

"We are participants in a revolution in the arena of work. About 80 per cent of new jobs in Western industrialised nations are not permanent positions. During the past decade, full-time jobs have risen by 14 per cent and part-time jobs by 70 per cent.

In the last six years Australia created only 55,000 full-time jobs and 408,000 part-time jobs. In the next 18 months, 22,000 Telstra employees will lose their jobs and Australia's big four banks will cut 10,000 full-time positions.

Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that the true jobless rate is significantly higher than the official figure. Almost two million people want to work but are unable to find jobs, are discouraged from looking by poor employment prospects, or are otherwise disadvantaged. Standard-hours jobs will continue to decline until at least 2010. Growth will occur in two areas: jobs offering seven to 21 hours work and jobs offering more than 50 hours."

...and I bet more than half of you voted for the Liberal party, didn't you

Last night's Brownlow medal, despite losing my bet that I had on at the TAB, was enjoyable mainly due to this stunner accompanying Mr Judd. Wow.

I didn't go looking for this photo by the way, my dad emailed it to me *rofl*

Also, for any rockers out there, you might be amused to hear that the band formerly known as Shihad, Pacifier, has now changed its name back to Shihad. So thats... the band formerly known as Shihad and formerly known as Pacifier, now known as Shihad. *nods*. Uhh...

A man was once in the throes of a nervous breakdown. Alone in his bed and crying uncontrollably, he noticed his baby daughter walking towards his bed, arms outstretched. In her hand was a glass of water. She wanted to give him something. Something to make it alright. This was all she could find.

This tale is probably simultaneously the most sad and uplifting thing I've ever heard.

"I dont pretend to know what you want"
"But I offer love"
-Neif Finn, Crowded House's "Distant Sun"

we the people fight for our existence
we dont claim to be perfect but we're free
we dream our dreams alone with no resistance
fading like the stars we wish to be
you know i didnt mean what i just said
but my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
and it just dont matter now

coz little by little, i gave you everything you ever dreamed of.
little by little, the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
little by little, you have to give it all in all your life
and all the time i just asked myself why you're really here

dreamed perfection has to be imperfect
i know that that sounds foolish but its true
the day has come and now you have to accept
the life inside your head we gave to you
you know i didnt mean what i just said
but my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
and it just don't matter now

why i am i really here?

Woke up to find you wearing that dress that was in the bedroom
My my, our thoughts were black then.
So does it make a difference?
You... slways by my side, always by my side.

Ghost in the body of you, so fucking absent
Hey hey, the glitter gown girl
So does it make a difference?
You're... never going to change, always be the same.

And I'll hate you every day, hate you every day.
Wait for the reasons to change, I know no better
You could do anything but,
just don't say "whatever".

You're always by my side, always by my side
And I'll love you every day, it's never going to change

And I hate you every day, hate you every day
Cause you're never going to change, always be the same

It's so good to be in love again...

My Favorite Female Part Is: The Leg: Toned and sexy. And they never run out of energy, if you know what I mean. Find out your favorite female body part!

An online journal is a pathetic medium, I know, but I would like to express my grief at the events of October 12 in Bali. So many Australians have been directly or indirectly affected by this murderous act and I find myself in the know of two families who have lost someone either in their family or close to it. If September 11, 2001 declared war on the United States then October 12, 2002 some sons of bitches have declared war on Australia; a peace loving, accepting, multicultural, free country. What the fuck. Like one lady was quoted as saying, they have attacked the playground of Australia's youth, and they knew what they were doing.

My thoughts with the families of those injured, missing or killed.
My thoughts with the cowards who's days are numbered once we find out who you are.
Australia will fight back, and you will pay.

heheh onya tezzie!!#$#@$

..

(does anyone fink im going insane wif all this studying? i say lotz of random things lately ;])

coz i like you
yeah i like you
and im feeling so bohemian like you
yeah i like you
yeah i like you
and i feel, whohah, woo!!!

i know i seem to go through these phases periodically but like lately ive fully been getting the urge to just have someone to love and take care of? like you go to a party and find a girl that will make out with you for half an hour or whatever... in the long run what does it mean? in fact, in the short run what does it mean? what i need more than anything else is a girl who will smile when they look at me, care about me, and who wants someone that will care back. and at the moment theres just no one in my life who i can see giving that to me, now or ever. im at a loss on how to fix the problem, but something has to be done. physically, im not alone but inside my head its like im standing on a plank of wood in the middle of the atlantic ocean with nothing to see but water and horizon.

*passed driving test* yayyy

well i havnt updated in a while but basically lately i been happy :). me being me im (obviously) fully taken by this awesome chick i'll never be able to have, studying a fair bit for my mock and final exams coming up, doing my "work" a fair bit n still getting a fair amount of time in for play.

i got my driving test tomoz!@# i think im model driver now so should be all good.. then i'll haf to do my 25 hours before i get my P plates. Hmm! Played volleyball today, we got beaten in the preliminary final. It suckeded but thats the way it goez i suppose. Went n watched footy also... WEST PERTH ARE IN THE GRAND FINAL@#$ *stoked* im so goin to the grand final next week... east perth vs west perth yayyyy big game.

i got stuck with organising everything for me n my mates to go the annual Bunbury Invitational volleyball tournament not next weekend but the weekend after. I spose someone has to do it... but when i organise anyfink with money involved theres always someone that doesnt pay their share and i end up paying the bill heheh :/ arr well ill just make sure to get ALL the money this time. should be a good weekend.. drinking the whole time! hehe last reigonal tournament we partied a bit much and my bank account felt it... bloody alcohol costs too much i tell u!! oh wellz

havnt talked to THE stacey in yonks. reply to my entry or one of my comments or something hey :( miss ya *hugz*

uuuuumm last night i went to the randomest party. i mean... its not like im a gatecrasher or nething but i did know like 2 of the people there :P but it was pretty fun, they had a jukebox@!#$# n there was all kinds of funky moozic on there. (NB: jukeboxes always seem more interesting when you're sloshed) everyone got pissed off at me when i played the three motorace songs all in a row hehe. bloody bogans dont know what good music is :P but yeah
that party was sooooo random. me n my mates became known as "the random guys" coz we were just going around talking to everybody whether we knew them or they were already in a conversation with someone else or not. hehe. the dad of the chick who had the party was a champ!!! he's like "do you guys know casey?" im like "nahh..." and he goes "ohh... thats
alright, enjoy the party!!!" im all sweeeeet that guy waz cool :P

umm for the girl(s) that read this journalll gimme some advice: if i keep consistently seeing this awesome girl that i like lookin at me, and when i look at her she like gets a little grin on her face n lookz away, do u reckon she fancies me? im serious... this happens like 10-15 times a day at school (yes hehe laugh at the little school crush :P~) but yeah what u reckon? i reckon she might be screwing with my head (keep in mind that she already knows i want her :P)
i reckon i could have a go at trying to move on her if i could force her to stand more than 3 metres away from the skank for any second during the day. (Note to ppl who dont know: nichola is the skank :P)

uuuumm yeah thats it!!! until next time ppl :)

ohhh wait i remember there was something else.

me n my mate slept at our other mates house on friday night, n we stayed up till like 3:30am watching old repeat tapes of dawsons creek (watches everyone cringe :P) but with a purpose: we were trying to get all the sweet lines that dawson uses lol. coz he has this thing where any chick he wants he can have, its awesome. anywayz we watched the latest one (last thursday night) and dawson and his ex jen are sittin down in this room having a D&M and they're talking about why they didnt work:
DAWSON: "I think I know why we didn't work"
JEN: "Why?"
DAWSON: "Because you're not physically attracted to me."

Now.
This could qualify as the best (though most manipulative) line ever because now Jen feels like she has to prove to him that she finds him physically attractive. So me n my mate chad sorta came up with the idea that if you ever get a chick in a situation like that having a D&M (Deep & meaningful) then you should pull that line or an adaptation of it out and u can fully manipulate
the situation hehe...

...well i found it interesting anywayz lol. im thinking of using it at some stage in the near future. watch out girls :P lol

woo this has been long!!! sorry (if ur still readin up to here ur a champ!!!)
catchyaz -trio

lol
