mann, i don't want to build it up or anything but i saw some fucked up shit this morning in class. check this out, we've finished all the formal lectures for our laser physics class and as part of assessment for the unit, we all have to give a short 15 minute presentation on something laser related...
I was full going to talk about how to build a light saber but after spending a few days playing with the maths I realised it's a lot harder than you'd think and the novelty kinda wore off. anyway we're about half way through these student lecture series and most of them have been ordinary at best.
then this morning these two dudes gave a talk on Holograms and it was off the hook!!! one of the best talks i've ever been to i reckon. full entertaining, mad explanations, they even had real holograms they made in the lab! which is fuckin hard to do, i tried in cali for lab class last year and it was one of the hardest experiments i've ever done.
anyway they finish the talk, and being the keen learner that i am, i yell out a question. I ask if they know of anyone who has tried to make a holographic movie, cause i got to thinking that it wouldn't be that hard if you had the right equipment and so i wonder why i've never heard of it.
And the guy who had pretty much carried the talk answers real quick with "yeah this russian dude tried one time back in the day but it took heaps too long and wasn't real worth it... so i don't think anyone's really tried since.." then the other guy, who is one of those shy dorky nerds with awekwardly massive shoulders and just somehow shady, comes out with "...um.. i've um, got a movie that's holographic..." and so everyones like yeah cool lets watch it... and so he fiddles with his laptop thats still hooked up to the projector and brings up the movie and makes it full screen. fuck man, check this out:
there's a naked dude, being projected onto the big ass lecture screen, standing next to his naked woman, and he starts groping her while she starts to bend over. all the while the camera is panning around 360 degrees to show the holographic effect.
!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK??!!!!!!
class is silent man, no one says shit for 5 full seconds while the couple is getting busy and then my lecturer goes "what the hell are you doing?!! you can't show this in my class!!!" and i fuckin lose it. i look at my buddy christian next to me and we both burst out laughing.
swear to god. i'm not talking shit i promise. i spent the rest of the day telling everyone i saw about my crazy morning. |

Japan was off the hook!!
The first week was spent travelling around the southern island with mum and shiro on a Japan Rail pass. After that we stayed at our friend Chris from Queensland's place at the Australian Embassy in Tokyo.
I caught up with Yosuke and Jun from UCSB for a drink at an izakaya in shinjuku which was kinda random but heaps of fun. how did I get in contact with them?!! I'll tell you how, I face booked them before i left!! all those days i payed out poor Vince and he was actually onto something!! or maybe not... anyway, i wasn't the only red faced stooge in the joint for once and i felt at home with my country people hahaha. those silly japs, going red when they drink :)
since it seems like months ago now and almost irrelevant, I'll make it a mad quick run down of the trip:
Nagasaki: ate champonmen which is halfway between ramen and udon. town had a fun buzz to it.
Hiroshima: saw how 200,000 japs got fucked up in the war at the A-bomb museum. silly japs, biting off more than they could chew...
Miyajima: ate the niiicest okonomiyaki ever!! they even threw a yakisoba in there and used it as a base! genius!! also, climbed some random mountian for a sweet view.
shodoshima: rained the whole time so we didn't see shit haha
matsumoto: went to a restaurant famous for its soba. they had one dish on the menu, it was soba. there was a massive line to get into the joint and we waited about 30 mintues. lots of fuss for a bowl of soba. but to be fair it was pretty fucking good soba.
wasabi-land: anything you could think of, they had it here but in wasabi flavour!!
wasabi beer! gross!
Manza: haha this was a blast from the past!! this is where me and Andy spent three months shovelling snow and snowboarding three years ago for a season. they all remembered me and it was heaps comforting to know that the place hadn't changed a bit. fuck this place deserves its own post... one day i'll do a 'back in the day' type post on this place. It'll start off something like this: "Manza made me who I am today..." pretty big opener but then I'll go on to back it up with some emotion fuelled stories and mild exagerations.
Tokyo: has gotten even crazier than ever before.
that's my mum with a very japanese pose. good on ya mum. |

You know when you're walking around campus and there's a pretty girl coming from the other way and you give her a smile cause you're having a good day and she's all pretty and stuff? yeah. well this certain girl from two weeks ago gave me one of the most nicest return smiles ever and so the next day when i saw her i gave her an even better smile and she did this kind of half shy half sexy as hell there could be something here kinda return smile.
so i'm all yeah next time i see her i'm definitely going to.... get real nervous. then i dont see her for awhile, until the other day when i'm sittin with soph sippin pineapple juice in the sun cause thats how i roll when i notice her walkin past smiling outta control at me!! i didn't even have time to get nervous so i bust out this Andre Benjamin type almost laughing type smile, probably in my top 5 happiest smiles i've done this year, straight up.
and soph notices too and is all like "do you know that girl?!!" and i'm all nah i dont even know her name!! then soph gets all jealous which made me all happy cause chicks can tell when other chicks are diggin on guys and so yayerr. plus she wears thongs all the time and looks mad surfy and carefree which is hot as hell. shes the kind of girl that would not only come watch me surf at night as the sun was setting and the moon was thinking about coming out, but would lie out there on her very own girly surfboard with me!!
and we'd talk about how nice the sunset looks reflecting on the water all orangy pink and stuuuff, how rad the moon looks when iit finally comes out a few sets later, how relaxing it is just the two of us in the warm water all carefree and stuff, then i'd make some innapropriate joke but she'd be so cool she wouldnt even get mad but just laugh her sexy laugh and then playfully call me a stooge... then i'd catch the maddest wave i've ever caught and full bust out some cut backs and maybe i'd even hang ten all the way into shore... and she'd tell me "damn seij you're pretty much the best surfer ever"
shiiiiit what a cool girl...
but it wasn't to be!!
so back to reality, i dont see her again til this morning... i'm sittin outside again on the benches in the sun just now with jimmy and andy, when i notice her chillin on the big steps all by herself, obviously waiting for me to go and talk to her!!! so i'm workin up the courage, about to go make a fool of myself but then be all happy that i gave it a shot after being gently let down cause of some complicated predicament she's in (possibly invlolving an ex or maybe shes heaps religious), when this stoooooge with gay frosted brown hair comes and sits next to her and runs mad interference!!
spent ten minutes not listening to a word of andy's possibly exciting story, trying to work out if this big time stooge was a boyfriend then they both got up and walked away.
shiiit what an anticlimactic story!!! and now i'm in the library like a chump, studying lorentzian profiles of laser beams.
shiiit, no wonder she's with frosted fag boy. fuck! all my stories these days are about how lame i've become!! worst ever!! maybe i'll look back one day and laugh... or cry... |

alright since i never have the motivation to post anymore, I thought i'd throw this update out there of where i'm at right now and expose my new lifestyle.
This is how I'm rolling these days:
Uni pretty much 9 to 5 monday to Friday,
Rocksalt 6:30pm til 12am thursday to saturday nights,
and if i have any spare time you can catch me either in the library or in my backyard on the picnic table me and Laurie built last summer, absorbing knowledge from my laser physics text books.
where is that guy who used to go out partying and go to the beach on weekends and have friends and stuff?!

spent the whole arvo checking the internet for my sopranos season six episode one to download.
35% before dinner, cool. 65% after, yeah. 85% after a docco on the cronulla riots, heck yeah.
then two assignment questions and a Bono interview by Andrew Denton later, it was at 100%. this is at 10:35pm.
Call Andy up straight away and tell him "whats up man, yeah it just finished but its kinda late so if/"
he cuts me off and comes through with
"/i'll come over right now"
haha, love the dedication. call up Ian but there was no pick up... I thought i better just check the file to get it ready while Andy comes over and so i turn up the speakers to crunk, make the screen as full as it goes and press play.
Then big intense red letters start flashing at me and they read:
GAY NIGGERS FROM OUTTA SPACE
what the fuck?! so i i fast forward through it and its a grade D movie in black and white featuring half naked African American (cause you know i come politically correct) dudes dressed up in space suits acting all gay!! which was funny enough to dampen the dissapointment. call andy up again not 2 minutes after just calling him and he's already cruising down the road, that's one dedicated fan.

I've had a run of unusually clumsy happenings recently but this episode at work two nights ago takes the cake I reckon. I'm a waiter at this fancy restaurant in Hawker and i love the place man, i get all dressed up, get respect from customers and i love all the staff. we're a tight family now.
Occasionally though it gets real busy or whatever and if the chefs get in a bad mood it can be tricky working in the kitchen. probably due to a newspaper article about how "very tres chique" the place is in last weeks paper, friday night was off the hook. easily the busiest night i've ever seen and some shit went down with the chefs who got real cranky.
so I'm saying to myself "yeah cool, don't be a smartass don't say any jokes and just do your job tonight and everyone will be happy" and tried real hard to not give the chefs any dramas.
You know how in kitchens the chefs stand on one side of a bench and the waiters on the other? and theres a massive heating bench light above the bench to keep the dishes warm while the waiters wait for a complete table's dishes to be lined up? yeah thats how it goes down in our kitchen as well and not to build it up but i took out this dish before it was finished to an important table and when i came back in the chefs weren't too pleased with me so i was all thinkin "yeah shit be real careful and make a comeback and they'll forget it ever happened".
Then check this out: The VERY next plate I go to grab, I was all in a hurry to be all efficient or some shit and accidently smacked the bench light real hard!!! A screw falls out, the whole of one side falls down towards the food and gets caught just in time by the electric cable, makes an impressive crashing sound and then the whole thing blacks out.
!!!!!!
Every single person in the kitchen stopped what they were doing, not a soudn was made and everyone carefully looked at Sam the head chef. then i go "fuuuck. sorry man, yeah that was my bad." fuckin verbatim. and Sam who would have no doubt killed anyone else, just didn't say a word and slowly went to grab a screw driver. so i take out the food and when i come in next he's still steamin! then Melissa dropps a bottle of some expensive shit and a bit of glass flies into the leg of the owners wife Narell! but that went down kinda smooth cause since someone got hurt no one really got mad and if anything it was kinda like an ice breaker. so people kinda forgot about the light. all it took was a bit of blood dribbling down Narell's leg. It's all good though, I made sweet tips that night :) |

I had a two hour break yesterday from class and all my friends were busy or least not answering my calls so i went for a walk on the other side of Chifley, along the creek and found a mad spot to eat my sandwhich under this real peaceful looking tree that had real thick leafy branches drooping down looking like Damian Marley dreads. sorry, enough detail about the tree man, felt like that guy who wrote life of pi just now. fuck that book had waaay too much detail about everything.
anyway their was a soccer match going on right next to me on the field so i thought yeah cool i'll just chill here all incognito and no one will notice that i'm a loner.
I get all comfy, unpack my sandwhich, get out my book to read and then the next thing i know i look up and realise that the soccer ball is steadily rolling straight for me. thinkin this can't be good, I attempt to get up and move but i forget about my sore thigh from basketball last week and only manage to bust out an awekward shuffle.
There are two dudes chasing the ball from different angles and i realise that one of them is Utah. before i know what happened, the other dude has crashed and rolled into me and bounced off. To be fair, he inflicted little pain but damn it was kinda embarassing!
so i get up off the ground kinda embarassed cause everyone had stopped playing and was just watching to see my reaction. really quite unsure of how to react, I playfully call him a stooge which relieved the tension in the air but then I realise he's got half my sandwhich all over his arm! and the other half is squished into the grass with leaves on it! which was kinda amusing and he notices too and saved the situation the call he comes out with next, he goes: "oh she'll be right mate, i had a shower last night" which broke the silence and everyone was laughing. i was laughing on the outside but on the inside i was worried about what i was going to eat for lunch now.
so in my head i told him yeah ha ha motherfucker. then ate the squished half after peeling off the cucumber cause it had leaf crumb all over it. i died a little bit inside that day. |

I had a class at 8am this morning. That's pretty early man.
I have no idea how to operate at this time of the day cause i'm still half asleep and its so far out of my daily routine. as result I end up getting to class at 7:30am, which is far too early and I still don't really know what's going on...
I find no one in my class, check the time, call myslef a stooge and get all dissappointed that I could have slept in...
So to kill time I decide to skate around the science block as fast as i could a whole bunch of times. Which was surprisingly fun cause dang I can fly when there's no one around to get in my way. but i soon got over that and decided it'd be a good idea to try some of those tricks that i have never quite mastered... so i start walking up and down the board and busting out fakies and stuff.
At around this time, i start getting that familiar Invincible Seiji feeling which I still haven't learnt comes right before I do something stupid. and since my confidence is mad high with my skating abilities at this time i thought it'd be a great idea to attempt a hang ten. Which is when you stand right on the nose and hang all your ten toes off the board and lean back, like you see in old school surf movies... i never seen anyone do it on a skate board but i've always wanted to try it.
This story's draggin on a little so i'll cut to the chase. Pretty much, i didn't even come close to holding it. yeah i got my toes over the edge but only for half a second man. I quickly face planted in a dramatic fashion onto the hard concrete. and fuck they make concrete hard these days. But it's not as bad as it sounds, there was grass right next to the concrete and since i was going fast enough, i bounced off the concrete onto the grass so only ended up bruising my palms and feet. Luckily my knee was safe behind my denim shorts and didn't draw blood. In fact, the only places i drew blood were my right palm and left foot. Lucky!
In other news:
It's mum's birthday today so Shiro bought her a fancy $80 deluxe sushi package from Iori and we devoured it for dinner. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Troppfest was rad the other day, got me all pumped up to make a short film for next year's. I've already started on the script, I'll post it here one time when i'm done.
The Grates are touring England right now and i wrote Mel an email telling her it'd be worth going to so hopefully she made it.
Two weeks into the year and there are still plenty of pretty girls walking around campus. Could this be for real?!
Feelin pretty smart these days with all the new shit i'm learning. on a sweet academic high. sounds kinda nerdy but workin out some real hard physics problem gives me pretty much the same kinda rush that catching a ripper wave or finding fresh powder between trees gives me. if you can't relate to that then you're taking this shit too serious man.
Happy Birthday mum. yeah. |

It's official!! Now i can practice all my broken spanish at the blackwells!! bueno, bueno.
Work was full cruisey tonight, got paid $350 (thanks to tips) for 3 nights :)
Feelin good about school, for the first time in ages I'm aiming to push myself academically. I've been a slacker ever since i left for Cali and realised in the holidays that if i put in a solid year this year then it'll pay off and then some in the future. So I chose 4 hard but interesting classes that i need for becoming the ultimate laser physics geek and am aiming to get straight HDs across the board. haven't told too many people cause most people laugh at me when i tell them but had the maddest confidence boost just before. Check this out, apparently Ian's dad (who i have crazy respect for because he's a science genius, head of department at uni and stuff) told Ian's mum who told my mum that he reckons I could pull it off :) :) :) now i gotta nail this shit so i can make him look smart :)
Heard that sands and Deveraux (the UCSB local surf breaks) had 20 foot waves the other day?!! Is this true Jon??
Been having FUCKED up dreams recently... reading heaps of papers on consciousness studies and some of that shit goes way too deep man. this one dude is trying to break down emotions as malfunctions in brain wave signals and stuff... some shit you just need to leave alone i reckon.

My new classes at school are so rad man. Straight up physics with no chaser this semester. No spanish, no surfing class, no oceanography. My classes are so hard that we're starting to get assignments with no answers!! I've got this one now where I have to read Einsteins original paper on the Electrodynamics of moving bodies and try to derive relativity differently than he did it. Motherfuck?!!! That's like trying to shoot a Jump shot better than Jordan! my lecturer said that he is looking for original thought and scientific fluency, not neccessarily a better paper than Einsteins. The point is, there's no right or wrong anymore, we're passed all that shit. It's all about talking enough scientific shit then backing it up. I've got the first part down, just working on backing it up. kinda like real life :)
On a different subject, there are soooo many good looking girls on campus this year!! have i died and woken up at UCSB?!! what's going on here?! If i had game i'd be in paradise! |

just got back from an amazing time in Sydney!
Got home at 3am from a Z Trip concert on Friday night at the uni bar, woke up at 7am Saturday morning and drove up with Jimmy to the Good Vibrations Festival at Centennial Park, via a swim at Coogee. The festival was off the hook, even though I only knew 3 or 4 of the acts, it turned out to be almost better that way cause i was introduced to some fresh bands. Like Breakestra!!!! who were way too cool to be talking about on an internet journal blog. so I'll leave them untalked about.
Saw Kenesi for a total of about 2 minutes, Johnny about 5 times for 30 seconds each time, Carla twice for 15 second lots and Lucy twice for a few minutes. It was impossible to stay in one place cause there was always a cool band playing on the other stage so you'd meet up with someone and then have to leave again straight away. me and Jimmy never left each others sight, cause thats how we roll.
Musically: Z trip had the tighest set ever. start to finish he was super solid. This was the third time i saw him this week and was definitely the Livest. the first being at the Good Vibes festival in Melbourne last sunday that i never posted about... kinda in the past now so i'll leave it. and supernat was more polished this time and amazed the crowd. Datarock, a swedish band i'd never heard of, came out in red jumpsuits with hoods on but had them zipped down exposing hairy chests and were good for a laugh. despite playing that doof doof doof kinda music, they were half decent. The cuban brothers were RAD!! and heaps funny. Talib Kweli had a good set but he needs more hits i reckon. i only got into 3 or 4 of his tracks and i probably appreciate hip hop more than the average festival goer. James Brown, well i could write a freakin essay about his performance. but i wouldn't read it and its getting kinda late so i won't.
Had heaps of fun after the festival, we drove back to Lucys via the city cause Lucys friend couldn't read a map and navigated us through the busiest path possible (Oxford street on a saturday night = shiiiit). Lucy has the coolest house ever mannn, her dads an architect so he pimped it out. definetely staying there every time i need a place to crash in sydney from now on i reckon, Lucys a cool girl and she happens to live at narrabeen which has waves so good that the beach boys sing about them.
Today was the funnest day though! woke up in Lucys bed at 10am all disoriented, not knowing where i was and then just heard Jimmy giggling and then it all came back to me :) met up with Andy and Naomi at Manly for a late brekky, had a surf and then drove home. but we broke down on the way and spent a good hour playing silly buggers on the road. people kept pulling over and having a laugh with us, it was weird! felt like a party on the side of the road! i guess they saw a kombi parked out with music blasting and a bunch of people laughing and having fun. man i'm talking some shit and its not even interesting! fuck all this, I've got uni tomorrow so I'm having a bath then crashing. but in my head right now, the only thought going through it is: Dang, this was the perfect trip to end the summer. |

We all went out to the lighthouse last night to celebrate our win against the best basketball team in the comp, and I was having heaps of fun with the boys talking shit and laughing and just chilling in my comfort zone. Then this blonde bomb shell (found out later she's been in FHM blah blah blah) walks past and gives us that "I know I'm too hot for you guys but i want your attention" look and Drew goes "I know that girl, I'll introduce ya" and usually I'd say cool and whatever but i full judged this girl hardcore and told Drew I didn't want anything to do with her. which full surprised me later when i was driving home when i realised that since i've had my heart snapped I've borderline become one of those cautious types.
Which had me feeling a little bit weird but then this song that Shiro likes started playing on my stereo which was set to random and this girl's singing about her dislike of clubs and then she drops the most relatable lyrics! she goes
"....what kinda people/ goooo to meet people?....Some place they can't be heard or seen..."
shit yeah, I love it when how i'm feeling is summed up in song lyrics! |

When I was younger I did some things that I'm not proud of.
One of them was receiving a five finger discount from a christian bookstore on a handful of 'WWJD' wristbands with some fake friends. It's been buggin me for years and I couldn't take it anymore cause I'm a changed man now so this morning I went in and told the lady at the counter what i had done, slightly unsure of what kind of a reaction i would get.
She looked blankly at me and said "well, how many did you take?" which i thought wasn't the point at all! anyway I told her 3 or 4 and tried to give her $10. she said it was too much but i told her with 7 years of inflation and cumulative interest it's about right. Then she smiled and said "I'm sure the boss will forgive you" which i thought was definitely a biblical reference until this lady at the front of the store who could easily have been Kath or Kim yelled out "yeah no worries, do what you gotta do mate".
So I let out a nervous laugh, gave her $10 and walked out a new man.

Lawry offered me a job through his dad doing research for a company called "Perpetual Water" which is trying to turn dirty water into clean water (which is a bigger deal than its simplicity suggests) and so i was excitedly telling Jimmy and i mentioned that i'll probably even get to write a paper on it.
and he full didn't know what i was talking about so i explained to him that in the nerd world, releasing a paper is like dropping a single in the music industry. And Shiro comes in with "yeah and releasing a book is like a whole album!" and Jimmy's face lights up and he goes "I like how you relate your science world to the cool world!" haha, classic. |

I'm about to go to Rocksalt to get P-A-I-D!! I've started waiting tables there in the evenings to pay off my credit card bill from christmas and the road trip.
Jimmy came through with the Good Vibrations festival tickets so it looks like I'll be seeing Z trip, Talib Kweli, the Cuban Brothers and... JAMES BROWN!!! Yayerr!! and being in the industry or whatever, Jimmy was able to get backstage media passes so he can interview them and i can meet them and act a stooge.
the girls who were staying with us left this morning which was unexpectedly sad, it was especially awesome seeing Steph cause i've never really hung out with her much compared to the other cousins. I've seen more of Fraser than I have of Steph. What's going on there?!!! DANG!!! I'm still scarred from all those years of bullying... I'll bash him one day when he's not looking. or at least wrestle him til he squeals like a piglet.
her friends were cool too, heaps of fun and good looking too. changed my prejudice on british girls being drunk and dirty skanks like they were in Santa Ynez.
...And just as randomly as he came, Laurie left :( cause that's how he rolls. but in a weird "you win some you lose some" kinda way, guess who's back in town?! The original Lawry: Lawry P!!! ran into him on campus after my job interview for another World Vision job this morning. He joined me and Johnny for lunch and we all caught up and gossiped like chicks.
went for a jog around the lake with Josh and Jimmy then called V and had a great chat to him, I can't believe Cali's still going on without me. doesn't seem fair!
bloody if it wasn't for the $240 tax free cash in hand benjamins waiting for me in Hawker i'd go to bed right now I'm that tired. |

alright I gotta start postin again! it's far too hot these days to sit at a computer so I'll have to make them real short. I gave up on the falls entries cause they're all in my book of Seiji and they'll sound better in person as exaggerated memories anyway.
Spent a good part of the morning cleaning out my room for Lauries sister Steph and her three friends who are going to be staying here for the weekend... shiiit it's not as good as it sounds, Steph is my cousin too (by blood, doh!) and I won't be in there with them (double doh!) but will be upstairs with smelly Laurie....
this post needs a point otherwise this build up's for nothing, so here we go: found a whole bunch of stuff from my childhood that brought back rad emotions but my most entertaining discovery was an old boomerang that I made in primaray school. I run upstairs all excited cause I can show my british/African/American/homeless cousin Laurie something Australian and proceed to throw the stick as hard as I possibly could in the air. But as it leaves my hand it slices up my palm drawing blood and the bloody thing didn't even come back!! he was most unimpressed but I got a chuckle out of him.
I was going to throw in an abo reference but couldn't decide if Abbo had one or two b's so I left it. |

1) two boxes of cereal!
2) two cartons of soy milk!
3) bubble bath!
4) a rubber duckie!
yeah!
the explanations:
1) she was the only person ever to understand and share my love for cereal.
2) she remembered my sensitive tummy
3) she used to pay me out cause i'd have a bath everyday after surfing and she found it hilarious
4) i made a few too many gay jokes and had her convinced for awhile that i was gay haha.
straight up one of the nicest packages I've ever received!! |

Book Of Seiji Volume 9, chapter 7, verse 1:
The Falls Festival was the probably the biggest party I've ever been to. We were there with some 14,000 other people for 3 days and 3 nights over new years eve, creating the kind of memories with emotions attached that people write songs about. There was this amazing feeling of excitement in the air that was just simply impossible not to get caught up in.
Musically, there was one act for me which encapsulated the vibe of the whole weekend in their energetic and somewhat hypnotic set. Which is a big call considering some of my favourite acts were playing including the Shins, Ozomatli, Eric Bibb and Ash Grunwald.
For some context, they were a group that number one: I had never heard of. Number two: no one had tried to plug them to me. Number three: I was in a pretty happy place sittin with our falls family on the grass in the near 40 degree sun, not really being bothered about who was playing next.
Then she grabs the mic.
And starts jumping around, dancing like it was back in the sixties and she was on some of those old school drugs that made you want to hug the world!! between the painfully simple yet catchy as hell basslines and drum beats and the impossible energy of this girl, they commanded the attention of the entire farm!! Who the heck are these guys?! wait a minute! check the zoom on the big screen! She's hot as well!! My excitement level peaked when she couldn't seem to contain all her energy and had to bust out two forward rolls to try to dissipate some!
Found out later that they were the Grates. And her name was Patience.
So we named the kombi after her :) |

I'm back!! Had one hell of a time...
Shiro made a sweet photo album of some of the photos from our road trip. Check them out here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stanksquad/slideshow?.dir=/ca99&.src=ph
There are too many stories to tell all at once so I'll try to periodically drop some of these in to share some flavours of the trip.
Bottom line? We did nearly 5000 km, surfed some world class surf breaks, met some crazy ass hippies and kept laughing the whole time :) |

fuck this festive season has been keeping me busy mannnnn. after workin a massive 7 hour shift til 10pm last night i was so drained it wasn't funny!! Andy came over to try get me to go out but we ended up watching the sopranos til my eyelids were so freakin heavy that it actually hurt to try keep them open!! it was good to just chill though after what i have been tempted to refer to as the busiest day of the last few months...
to put my fatigue into context: woke up at 7:30am yesterday after getting home at 4:30 from academy, where i'd left the kombi cause there was no way i was in a state to drive... spent the rest of the morning running around town (even out to queenbeyan and back!) in the 37 degree sun with a million things to do, damn just remembering it makes me tired...
In a nusthell i've been working everyday in between such notable events as my birthday, a trip up to sydney to pick up Laurie and Jeff, a john butler concert (which i'll dedicate a future post to it was that rad) and plenty of smiles....
bloody awesome having the cousins around for these happy days and it will be even better from tomorrow when we can chiiiill.
i gotta quickly mention how rad my birthday was though!!! mum didn't want a big party this year so we just had a small barbie in the backyard and it was rad catching up with everyone... fuck i have the greatest friends in the world though, far too generous with their presents!! unbelieveably i ended up with 2 pairs of thongs, 3 car horns and 2 surfboards!!!!!
That's so much love right there so i gotta make sure in the new year that i spread it around and give back all the good karma....
fuck i just realised why this post is feeling so lame! since i've been postless for so long, now when i try come out of retirement instead of breaking down my happenings, they seem so outta context that all i can do is mention them and leave them unexplained and unfulfilled. Like i didn't get a chance to drop in the crazy adventures of Laurie and his many amusing walkabout stories! His life has been one long walkabout for a couple of years now and it makes for some good laughs :)
But then again that's probably a good thing cause i gotta leave some stories to tell around that beach campfire........ |

everything else aside, the bra boys sure can surf!!
I ended up going to Sydney after all for the Green Day show and it was absolutely massive!! one of the best shows I've ever been to I reckon, they straight up know how to rock. I called up Lucy and she came too which was sweet cause that girl's always heaps of fun. So we get back at about 1am to Hayden's grandmas place and the weather man on channel ten tells us that there's going to be a strong south westerly. which meant about as much to me as it does to you but Hayd got all excited and told us that this meant that Maroubra would be going off in the morning while Bondi would be blown out. damn useful having someone around who knows his wave science!
We were kinda hesitant cause of all the race riots going on right now that have spilled out into Maroubra so after weighing it up we all decided that thugs are likely to sleep in and so if we went early we should be fine.
Up by 5:30, there by 5:40 and no joke there were easily 40-50 surfers already in the water! Hayd told us who was who and informed us of the big names within the bra boys and all i could think of was fuck they were easily the best surfers i've ever seen!! why would you be in some hardcore gang if you had those sweet surfing skills! the swell was too big for me but i went out anyway and got smashed a few times just to have my confidence shattered. kinda like going after girls that are way too good for me.
gotta get some rest so that we can rip up the 3 on 3 streetball tournament tomorrow at the lake.
We'll see you at the airport monday Jeff! |

I really don't understand women, but that's another story... I spend too much time thinking about girls anyway.
The real headline of my life right now is this: After noticing that my lack of respect for my liver and lungs are starting to take a toll on my health and my wallet, I've decided to completely change my lifestyle. to be fair, I kinda feel like i'd earnt it being repressed and held down during the great depression of the ANU exam period.
Bottom line is I've traded in the bottle and the bong for a shovel and dirty knees. My days as one half of a once celebrated fusball championship team has been put on hold while me and Ian redefine our back yard. I can hear the whispers... "seiji's gone soft!....i knew he was gay!...."
but as the Puff Daddy once said in the background of a biggie classic; the bigger you get, the more they're going to hate you.
getting all sweaty and dirty with Ian while soaking up the summer sun and listening to some choice tunes, who wouldn't be jealous!!
In brief: Soph inherited a new Beagle who surprisingly hasn't taken any (unwanted) attention away from Zi who Oscar (Soph's other dog) always tries to get a piece of, doggy style of course.....I got my uni results yesterday: Electromagnetic man had the last laugh barely letting me live with a 51, but it seems I had overrated Thermal Radiation man who i defeated with a 60. easily the worst semester I've ever had on paper but I learnt heaps and my heart wasn't in it until the last few weeks so I'm stoked with what i ended up with.....The spa man finally fixed up the spa so we have our old late night after party chill out spot back!.....
Last thoughts: Dang! i was supposed to go to the river with my Spanish teacher today but the rain gods had other plans... |

Life is pretty crazy these days. I haven't partied this hard since the first quarter at UCSB.
Last night was wednesday night. I worked until 10:30 pm and was so freakin tired that i decided to have a quiet one. just a couple hours at the lighthouse then get an early night. i cruise on home to chill with Jimmy in my room and just get high and listen to Bob when Joshie Jamie and Andy come over... which is cool but i knew i'd never get any sleep.
I passed out sometime with everyone still in my room and got woken up by some random moaning what seemed like hours later. I check my phone and its 5:45 am and then I see a naked Rezina pumping the shit out of jimmy right next to me on my couch. and I'm still stoned out of my mind so I start laughing and then they start laughing and i'm trying real hard to be serious and not to laugh while telling them "you disrespectful fucks! get out!!" and when jimmy has the giggles its impossible not to get caught in a laughing fit so we're laughing for about 5 minutes straight until i finally succeed in kicking them out... woke up at 1:30 pm and thought it must have been a dream so i call up jimmy and we laugh for another 5 minutes while i tell him he's a dog and i can't believe he did that.
And so tonight, it's sometime after 11pm and its thursday night (college night, for the uneducated) and i'm getting ready to go to bed. i can't remember the last time i slept properly...
this is shaping up to be the greatest summer of all time i reckon. i see the boys every day :) I've got three jobs :) i haven't hurt myself forever (i dont even know where my crutches are!) :) plus I'm not tied down by some wife :) me and mel talk on the phone and the email and we're getting close again, never fighting or anything :) and it's getting real warm :) plus mum's smiling more and more everyday and Shiro is still unexpectdely smiling after going through hard times :)
which reminds me! The funniest thing happened to us last saturday night! we went out to manuka in the kombi and i was pulling over near a servo when i stalled cause i'm still learning how to drive stick, then this girl walks up to the car who was far too good looking for me to talk to but there was something about the way her eyes were smiling at me and so when she goes "what are you boys doing?" I smiled and said "picking you up" then immediately thought [what?! I'm not that smooth? i don't say stuff like this? i didn't even stutter!] and she laughed and asked if she could get a ride and "could my friends come?" bottom line, she has 7 hot friends who all pile into the back of the kombi and so we're crusing around town with a van full of girls and it made for some good laughs. I'll tell you the rest when i see you. |

it was a massive night for Lake Ginninderra tonight. We stole our first win of the season!! it was against the 2nd best team in the comp which by my impeccable logic means that we are now the number one team!! (since there is only one position better than second: NUMBER ONE)
Equally huge in the sporting arena, the socceroos are heading for Germany next year for the first time in 31 years!! we played real solid and deserve the Win.
I'm still sick as a dog though, i better have a bath and get some sleep. |

that's exactly what I needed. A weekend at the coast with just the boys and no dramas in the world.
It was 28 and sunny as hell down at Turros. I was real lazy on the first day, underestimating the sun and I couldnt be bothered puttin on sunscreen so i just slapped a bit on my stomach and fell asleep.
woke up an hour later with a tanline in the shape of a hand on my stomach haha. I was going to post a photo of it but between all the surfing and the basketball i'm pretty ripped these days and i'd feel like the biggest fag posting photos of myself on the internet. even mentioning that i'm "pretty ripped" is grounds for being called a fag in my book. in fact, if this was someone elses post that i was reading, I'd probably be calling this bloke a homo in my mind... stupid internet! makin me sound like a cock smoker! ahhhh i'm over it.
in other news, somewhere between my friday night end of uni celebrations and spending almost all of monday in the water I've caught a wicked cold and my throat is so sore that i can't eat anything!

Happy belated birthday to Jon,
Good luck to Denis on your scholarship acceptance exam,

wow, i had my ass handed to me this morning by thermal radiation man. as I was telling mel in an email, I hugely underestimated his super powers. plus i'd used up all my special weapons on electromagnetic man the other day (whom i defeated before we could even go to a commercial break if it was on pay per view) and i had nothing left for this super villain.
Probably has more to do with this than i let on but in the couple/3 days leading up to the much over-rated battle, I spent every afternoon down at the Lake with the boys playing sweaty games of basketball in the blistering sun instead of reading up on his weaknesses and planning my battle strategies. do i regret it? helll no. did i regret it this morning when i was taking a mental ass raping?! heck yes.
bottom line: spare for the possibility of a supplementary in February, its over!!
which leaves me with only one thing to say before I sign off for the summer: i've been thinking about it a lot recently and i've come up with this:
if i was a character in a Spike Lee joint, I think I'd be "Stereo Seij" and i'd walk around (never in a hurry or even a with clear destination) with a massive boom box blasting Tribe and smiling lots... kinda like Radio Rahim but less tough and with more style. I'd only have one passage of dialogue in the whole flick which would be more like a monologue actually, which wouldn't give away my past or give any emotional depth to self but would contribute to the immediate happenings of the flick in an interesting and stimulating way. my only goal or purpose for the day would be to find latino street punks and play my music louder than theirs until they recognise. and tell me "...you got it man"
has all the studying and lack of getting high for 4 months fucked up my brain chemistry? shit yeah |

my life should be on TNT mannn, cause damn do i know dramas.
All morning, and i'm talking ALL morning, i was mad nervous. i had these butterflys in my stomach that I hadn't got since back in the day when i used to run for school and i'd get all nervous before a race.
The reason? I realised that today was the last time i'd see my spanish teacher in class... to bring it into context, I had given her my number a couple of weeks ago and she had said that she'll call sometime to take me wakeboarding at the river... never called but mentioned the other day that her friend was fixing the boat and was still keen to go... so my original game plan was to do a JC and just leave it and wait to hear from her but I started thinking "maybe she's waiting for me to ask her out properly!" and you know how girls be projecting all kinds of alien signals and it's our job to try decipher them... shiiit, turns out i never learned that language cause i'm thinking "Yeah! she's shy! thats what it is. she's waiting (no, begging!) for me to ask her!" so this plays on my mind all morning and so i decide that if i feel like she's giving me happy vibes then i'll ask her....
So I go into class. mad nervous. i see her and she's smiling at me all pretty and stuff and my nervousness increased 6000 times!! and we start chatting and then she drops the first bombshell: "... yeah one of the best shows i've ever seen was J5..." (is this girl for real?!)and i go "...you like hip hop?!!" and i'm thinking shiiit i'm too young for marriage! and by this point i'm getting so nervous that all i can do is talk shit real fast cause that's what i do when i'm mad nervous and so i go and sit down before i blow it and say something real dumb.
Then i wait for everyone to leave except for this one pain in the ass girl at the back who just wouldn't leave, making me think damn i gotta do this with a crowd? anyway, deep breath, and i walk over and ask her if she's busy on the weekend? "nah not really, just uni stuff" so i come in with "listen, i feel kinda lame asking you like this.. but would you like to get coffee with me sometime?"
!!!!!
then she drops the second bombshell: "yeah...but we'll have to be just friends cause i have a boyfriend"
.......have a boyfriend.....a boyfriend....a boyfriend....a boyfriend......
!!!!!
we decide to go anyway just as friends cause she's a hella cool girl and i want to get to know her more but damn she killed me....
funny thing was I was real disappointed obviously but at the same time I was super happy that i asked her cause fuck i don't care what anyone says it takes balls to ask out a girl mannn. Phife says it best on the low end theory when he talks about this girl that gives her mental dramas and then drops "i guess the only thing I've learnt is that good girls are hard to find"
So true.

Mum cooked up a tastalicous chicken curry tonight and so we invited the blackwell boys and Soph over. Good on ya mum. We're all pretty excited about the Falls festival which isn't too far away now...
had the omerta broken but that's another chapter, probably best left unspoken.
Ever had the same dream twice and had it manifest into a memory?!!
Had a crazy dream last night that was kinda like a flash back dream, but i can't remember if it happened or not. it seems like a memory but i don't ever remember it happening, know what i mean?!
went a little somthing like this: it was sunday morning and i was living at Garden court and Mitch and Flick were visiting from who knows where, Jon was up for the weekend and so was Todd. and Venny was there? kinda vague... and we're all sitting around the pool enojying a lazy brekky consisting of pancakes, eggs, the works...and some german guy kept splashing us from the pool.. i even asked him to stop and he flat out told me "no"...weird memory... anyway, up to this point in the dream there was absolutely no dialogue (emphasising the moment, like the last chapter in slam dunk #31) when I start spreading honey on my toast... and Jon comes out with "Seij. what the hell are you doing dude?"
"hmm?"
"that's gross dude... honey on toast?" and then proceeds to tell me that he only ever puts honey in tea... then i launch into this massive Kevin Smith-esque monologue which ended with a little something like: "... you gotta let it realise it's potential of dominating the supermarket scene as a tasty breakfast spread! you can't subdue it as a weak alternative sweetner in a beverage!" i don't even talk like that!
Annyway, Good luck with the girls gone wild V!! even if it won't be the same cause i'm not there :)
which reminds me!! hahahahahha I read about how you're going to watch Ben Lee Kenesi hahahahahahaa. he is SO GAY!!! i have this image of you singing along with 14 year old girls with that goofy smile that you do when pretending to be gay tee hee heee :) lucky your on the other side of the country otherwise you'd probably bash me. nah just mucking around, it'll be fun....

23 days 'til I'm a free man. But until then I gotta be making love to my text books.
Seriously, this is the first weekend in about 14 months I think where I stayed in ALL weekend, only leaving the house three times.
1st journey: Buying string for Lucy's anklet that i made her with shells that i collected from the beach,
2nd journey: Buying salmon from the markets for dinner,
3rd journey: Ball with Jimmy at the lake.
the rest of my weekend? studying mannnn. at least i'm fuckin smart right now... if anyone asks me what the carnot efficiency on a standard kitchen refrigerator is I'll be fuckin all over the answer, I'll even throw in diagrams and shit.
I can't stop thinking about surfing. i can't wait to go surfing so i can deliver this awesome line that Rob Machado drops in 'september sessions', he goes "...my mind has already been here for 2 months"
why can't i say cool stuff like that?! why do i always gotta talk shit about everyday shizinisms?! i gotta start speaking more profoundly and shit.

In science class today, instead of the usual lecture on Thermal Physics, a girl from class gave a seminar on Black Holes. and i remembered how much of a geek i was when i realised that i listened to every word that she said and asked heaps of questions at the end. shiiit, i even hung around after the seminar and discussed with her the curvature of space time during emissions of Hawking radiation. She was dropping mad knowledge on me.
That's when i realised that Science is the fifth element of Seiji.
1st Element: Love
2nd Element: Surfing
3rd Elemnet: Basketball
4th Element: Hip Hop
5th Element: Science |

I'm loving these warm days!! people are starting to wear brighter colours and are smiling more and it's real fun to walk around campus these days cause everyone's happy again :) I full love summer man.
On the way home from basketball last night, i passed by a road sign i swear i've never seen before. It read a little something like this:
---Now Entering Struggle-Town. Population: The Lake G Allstars Basketball Team---
That's right. you read it correctly. the legendary basketball team of the 'Lake Ginninderra has beens' is in trouble. they've found themselves 2-0 down early in the season with a locker room full of questions and no answers. fingers are being pointed tempers are being tested. Future MVP of the team and all around cool guy Seiji Armstrong had this to say at half time: "yeah man, we should be winning. I don't know why we're not". yes. very insightful indeed. perhaps Mr Armstrong and his so called "all star" team should re-consider their team mentality. One spectator had this to say: "they're too preoccupied with looking good. I mean who do they think they are?!" indeed. A former playground legend who questionably traded in his hoop dreams for a shot at academia was seen walking around campus today in a retro UCSB T shirt and didn't have any idea or interest that a game was taking place last night. but if he had, he might have had this to say: "At least they lose in style". Good point.
Lets have another look at these so called posers i mean basketballers shall we?
If anyone attended the game at belconnen stadium last night and has any insight to why this team looks so good on paper but so chaotic on the hardwood, please drop this reporter a line. Out. |

I was going to wait til I got Jimmy's photos for this post but after talking hoops with V I can't contain my excitement anymore.
For those of you haven't heard, we've put a ball team in the local comp.
but not just any old team. we're unofficially the best most exciting team canberra's seen since Phil Smyth was running the cannons!! It's pretty much the Lake team with a few worthy acquisitions (unread: fillers).
We had our fist game on wednesday night and we all rocked up super early and the excitment levels were electric! no one could wait, in our eyes, this was history in the making. the much anticipated reunion of Lake G's finest about to embark on an undefeated run that will become legend in years to come.
..........
then at half time we were down by 21!!!!! hahaha, this is when we realised that we were waaaay too overconfident and especially out of practice. half of us hadn't played basketball on a hardwood floor for 3 or 4 years. we brought it back to a 4 point defecit thanks to Jimmy's late game heroics but as Renee could tell you about her experience one time in an elevator, it was too little too late (dammit, hasn't this guy already used that reference before??!! -ed.)
Jimmys transition from "no game James" on the dance floor to "big game james" with a ball in his hands was simpy a pleasure to watch. this guy used to practise jump shots every day after canberra high til sunset and has the prettiest release belco stadium has ever seen. in fact, after the game some people even told me that they thought they were watching the non-biblical Jesus straight out of a spike lee joint out there.
Apparently Shaq's been working out twice a day in the off season and came out with this at a press conference:
"I was an earthling last season," Shaq said in reference to his strength level. "I had to go back to my alien roots." he's got jokes. meanwhile why am i talking shit on the internet when my magnetostatics assignment is waiting to get done?! why am i so thirsty when i'm drinking over 3 liters of water a day?! why do girls say they'll call if they're not going to?! i'm over it.
although i'm clearly not haha |

although its just speculation at this point, theres talk of a new touch footy team starting up!!! someone floated it yesterday at Ians barbie which was the most chill time ever... spent the whole arvo just sittin outside in the scorching sun, on easily the hottest day we've had since last summer i reckon... it was like a preview of my summer to come :) :) :)
still waitin for my spanish teacher to call... well i'm not waiting per say ( i don't even know what that means but i've always wanted to drop it in a sentence), just secretly hoping that she'll call soon.
On the other hand, if she does end up blowing me off i can finally use this great line that i've been waiting to deliver for over a year and a half now... first, i'll build it up by desribing my apparently surprised disappointment and i may even bring it in by mentioning how i thought she might have been keen on me... then i'll drop it:
I guess the twinkle in her eye was just a twinkle in her eye...
best ever!! then i'll forget about her... who was i talking about again?! exactly...
gotta go prepare for my spanish class... quieres ir tomar cafe conmigo, profesora?!! como se dice Yayyerrr??!!! |

but serisouly, I gotta stop commiting myself.
the federaalees were out in numbers tonight and being double demerits there was no way I was drinking... So I'm on the dance floor stone cold sober and alright, there were girls and they were playing that milkshake song, which i don't know why but I love it and everyone was smiling and stuff but I guess I just wasn't feeling it. Jimmy was playing til five and I was gonna chill with him til then but i figured i'd do myself a favour and cruise on home...
and now I'm buzzing with mad insomnia so I thought i'd post a useless entry. yayerr? nah, doesn't seem appropriate. |

Been driving the Kombi around a bit recently, getting warmed up for the summer. I Feel like the coolest bus driver ever when i drive it! the steering wheel is flat, parallel to the ground like in a bus and it makes taking turns sooo much fun haha. Soph's going to paint it for my birthday, full decked out with hippie flowers and waves and sunshine and stuff :) :) :) Shiro reckons that's the gayest thing he's ever heard but that's just because he's a conservative accountant. and wouldn't know style if it performed a rear naked 69 reacharound on him and then mounted him... he'll probably bash me for this but it was worth the cheap giggle i got out of writing it.
Oh man, i never talked about Rahzel or Tom thumb!! pretty much, Maya Jupiter the hip hop chick off triple J (who was hosting) was hyping up this guy named Tom Thumb who just took out the world beatboxing championships in germany and who is kind of a big deal... so I'm expecting some big balck mean looking guy to come out and then this full bushy blonde haired surfy comes out looking like a massive stooge and I'm thinkin alright, books can't be judged by their covers and stuff and then he grabs the mic and goes "...hows it goin" in the biggest booner accent you've ever heard!!! so the crowd started laughing, then he full launched into the most impressive display of vocal talent that I've ever heard. did the beat for Snoops drop it like it's hot, then started singin it AT THE SAME TIIIIIME!!! i almost came... it was pretty much a hip hop orgasm... Jimmy filmed some of it, if anyone wants it, I'll email the file to ya.
Feelin real fresh right now cause i spent the whole day at the lake courts in the sun with the boys and then Ivana hooked us up for a free spa at belco pool, love that girl!
only a few more weeks left of uni until summer!!! :) :) :) I can't wait for Falls...
Ian's coming over for dinner tomorrow with his two brothers cause his mums away... Yayerr! i swear, he's the coolest guy that i never see.
fuck I'm cool. it's a saturday night and guess what i have in store? my thermal physics assignment b b baby. I'll be laughing in a few years when i'm.......a geek.
DAMMIT! but hopefully I'll be a geek who has the hottest wife ever who hugs me all night long, never gets mad at me and comes to watch me surf at my local beach everyday...which will be somewhere heavenly like J bay.
haha, then i'll be laughing. |

:) :) :) so I'm walking back from law where we parked this morning with my new ultra bright blue and yellow umbrella, laughing at myself cause it stpoped raining 2 minutes after I bought it...when I look up and guess who's walking my way?!! my spanish tutor!!!
Alright, so i never posted about last week after i saw her at the gym... I went into class thinking "alright Seij, you'll never know if you don't ask..." so i'm thinking I'll ask her to do something with me, go somewhere, have coffee or whatever and so long story short, she starts talking about surfing and wake boarding and just as i was about to embarass myself by inviting myself along to the river with her, she comes in with "oh you should come out with me sometime to the river, I'll teach you how to wakeboard :)"
whhhattttt?!!!!
which made me smile uncontrollably for at least 2 and a half days...
then this morning I see her and luckily i was in a super great mood cause i love rain and it makes me feel super fresh and I knew if i waited, i'd start getting real nervous then i wouldn't ask her so i come straight out with "when are we going wakeboarding? :)" and she says something along the lines of: "pretty soon i hope ;)"
!!!!!!
maybe it was mostly in my head cause interpreting girls and their impossibly confusing ways was a skill that i just wasn't born with...
but that's how i heard it! so i gave her my number and told her to call me whenever she wants to go... :) :) :) I'm either setting myself up for something great or a massive heartbreak... we'll see.
Meanwhile, I never posted about my crazy weekend away to sydney with the boys!! I'll wait til i get photos off Jimmy for that... basketball starts next week!
Happy Birthday Lucy! |

so I get a lift in with Patrick Boucher this morning cause he saw me walking to the bus stop and fuck he's weird... starts telling me about all these jobs that he's had recently and how he always gets fired form them real quick... and how broke he is cause his car blew up the other day... so i try change the subject and ask him why he's driving into civic? and he comes out with "to test drive a lancer" and i go fuck that'll set you back a bit won't it? how can you afford one of those being so broke?! and he goes all fuckin creepy on me and goes "mate, it's always the answer with a lancer" a potentially funny line that almost made me giggle but he looks at me real intensly in the eyes and fuck i didn't know what to say! so i called him a fuckin weirdo in my head and gave my best Willy Wonka laugh. I thought shiro told me he wasn't crazy anymore?!!! shiiit.
anyway that's why i got to uni early this morning and so i thought i'd chuck on Soph's coast photos that she gave me last night. she bought an iPod nano fuck it's cool!
here we go:
checking to see if there were any waves at the crack of dawn before agreeing that it was too flat and deciding to cook up deeeelicious banana pancakes instead!
Sun came out after brekky but it was still real flat but i thought i'd chuck this one in to show how crystal clear and beautiful the water is:
Then we climbed a sand dune and got a real nice view
and finally some real small but nice rolling sets started coming in
Alright time for spanish class! Yayerr! |

Which reminds me!! I was driving to the coast the other day cruising at a healthy speed when out of nowhere this huge kangaroo jumps out in front of me and so i don't swerve but gently manouver the car to the right and then the kangaroo jumps into my car completely getting smaaaashed and Soph was asleep at the time but woke up with a mad scream when she heard and felt this massive thump by her window!! we drove back to find the dumb bastard but it must have hopped away, I don't know how it survived my direct hit, must have been one of those new tough limited edition 2005 model kangaroos... |

I cooouuld do a mad post about my weekend in sydney, or i could just post an irrelevant and potentially 'had to be there' moment:
Shiro, watching an old school footy match on telly at 5:20 in the morning, comes out with "fuck, this guy's pretty ripped for a black and white guy!" |
