Trees falling in the woods

Tonight Bone Timber faced their first defeat against our A grade opponents. Our first big match up started off extremely well however in the first 5 minutes of the second half Inter took over pumping on 3 goals. The final score was 6 - 4. I am pleased to annouce however that I have scored my first goal for the season. Scored in the last few minutes, it was a bit arsey in that I just tapped it by the goalie when he was blatently expecting me to smack it in. This does however call for celebration and an extention to the weekly score update with Ben's season goal score. Believe me this is most likely to stay at 1.

Burning down the House

Finally after about a month of waiting, last night they finally showed a new episode of House. I sat and watched eagerly as it unfolded and I was not disappionted. I am not going to tell you what happened because if you wanted to know that you, like I, would have benn glued to your T.V. I will however say this. House after having been looked over by a board of Doctors over his practices now has a new boss. Who is his new boss you ask me. Dr. Foreman, how great is that, I love it.

So what else is new. Nothing really I am being boring and enjoying my last few days of holidays before my final term commences. I am still reading Dumbology so I will again leave you with a few stories.

Legal Goofs:

"A would be petrol theif got more than he bargained for when he attempted to siphon fuel from a motor home parked on a street in in Port Macquarie, Australia. He decided to siphon the fuel by sucking it through a hose but inadvertently inserted the hose into the motor homes sewage tank instead. The police arrived to see him throwing up by the side of the road next to a pool of sewage. The vehicle owner declined to press charges, saying it was the best laugh he'd had in ages."

"Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb he sent in 1999 and so it came back to him marked return to sender. Forgetting it was a bomb, he opened it and was killed in the explosion."

"A pair of 78 year old burglars were caught red handed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, when the homeowners returned unexpectedly. The one inside the house was too deaf to hear the warning of his accomplice outside, and the lookout wasn't fit enough to escape."

"A Brazillian theif who broke into a church to steal a projector and a vacum cleaner was arrested when he fell asleep after drinking two bottles of communion wine."

"A 1975 raid on the Royal Bank of Scotland in Rothesay degenerated into farce when, on the way in, the three would-be raiders got stuck in the bank's revolving doors and had to be helped free by the staff. Undaunted, they returned a few minutes later and announced that it was a robbery, but the staff thought it was a practical joke and refused to pay up. While one of the men vaulted the counter and twisted his ankle on landing, the other two made their escape, only to get trapped in the revolving doors once again."

Plain old fashioned fun!!!

Today Timmy and Sean came round to visit, this is what occurred.




















Timmy modelling the new look in Russia.





















Sean looking a lot like marge simpson
















Put some eyes on and I might be an alien.

















My god where is Timmy's head. He jammed it on so well we had trouble getting off.

What fun it is to put things on your head.

Rediscovering the world of literature

Today I went into town and walked around the stores while hails did her CPR renewal course. To my surprise I walked into a book shop to see what the wide world of literature had to offer. I spent about 45 minutes looking at a variety of books and upon exiting the store I purchased a couple of books (something I haven't done since I was about 8 when I got book vouchers from my untie and uncle for my birthday).

The first book took my fancy due to the fact I had seen the movie, I bought hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, all four of them in the one book. I am really looking forward to sitting down and reading this book. The other book I bought cost me 10 bucks and is called Dumbology. This book basically goes through a range of stupid things that people have done. There are actually quite a few funny things in it in a variety of catergories from the military, to sports to, politics.

All I can say is expect me to share a few of these stories with you over the next few months cos they are classic. So having said that here are a couple.

Military Errors

"The 1824 war between Britain and the Ashanti (part of present day Ghana) witnessed a display of supreme incompetence by Charles Brandon, the British army's stores manager. Surrounded by 10,000 warriors and running low on ammunition, the British redcoats ordered Brandon to break open the reserve ammunition he had bought from the coast. As the Ashanti forces closed in, Brandon unscrewed the ammunition boxes, only to find that they were full of biscuits instead. He had brought the wrong supplies."

"During the second world war, the Russians invented a unique device called the 'dog mine'. The idea was to train dogs to the underside of tanks with food and thus, with bombs strapped to their backs, to wreak havoc on the German Panzer divisions. Alas, the dogs proved unexpectedly true to their training, associating food with only Russian tanks, and forcing an entire soviet division into retreat. The plan was quickly scrapped.

Enjoy.

Bone Timber off to a great start

Okay I played my first game of indoor soccer tonight and apart from being completely fucked now it was great. I didn't score any goals however I did put up some good defence as per usual. Some great goals from sammy our up and coming star along with Dutchy and Nordy's efforts up front led to a 8 - 2 defeat over our B grade opposition. Timmy also managed to score a nice goal when the other team crossed the ball in front of their goals and timmy got a knee to it to knock it in.

I have also decided to add a score card each week to the blog so that you can keep up to date with our win/loss ratios. We've got a couple of tough games coming up so we'll see how we go.

A quote from a movie I watched last night.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsiously give other people the right to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Movie - Coach Carter

What do I have to do to get back on the team Sir. Young Sir you do not want to know the answer to that question.

Well, well, well. I never thought that the day would come but I am finally going back to playing sport on a frequent basis. By this I mean of course I am playing indoor soccer every thursday night instead of my monthly game of tennis (which is what was previously known as my workout each month).

Coming in to substitute for Matthew Borgas is none other than myself (I guess they were looking for some real star material and not some mediocre one). Nah just kidding borgas if I can live up to any of your game play I will be a happy man. Me taking up the game of indoor soccer does however mean that I need to go out and purchase some proper attire including shoes, socks and pads.

In other news how stupid are all the people who went to oakbank. I mean I had every intention of going until I found out it would be raining all day and thought, fuck that. Instead good times were had at Timmy's house, cooking a barbeque and watching Collingwood absolutely smash the Kanagroos. My beloved Port Power however managed to go down to the Dockers, sad times.

Anyway my plans or this week are nothing so anyone who wants to do something let me know and I will most definately be up for it.

Live in 3, 2, 1, 360!

After playing the 360 non stop over the past couple of days I have taken time out to transfer my exisiting x box live account to a gold membership on the 360. What does this mean? I can now play live on both my x box and the new 360, wicked.

I do however need to go out and purchase both the new live headset and a rechargable battery pack for my controllers. So they are still bleeding money out of me.

I also purchased PGR3 which is an awesome racing game and very realistic.

Easter is fast approaching only two days away and the day after easter otherwise known as the "let's go to oakbank, get drunk, and bet all our money away," time of the year is at hand. Of course this is exactly what I and my companions will be doing.

Well the 360 is again calling and you and I both know that no man can resist that so seeya.

What is white, good in bed, and begs me to play with it every night?

That's right people I have finally got myself an x box 360. Now I don't have to say much however I will say this. It is possibly the best thing I have ever bought in my life. I took some pictures to show you the joy of owning the 360.















My little bundle of goods, I also got another controller with it, and perfect dark zero is a kick arse game.















The joy was unbearable, like I had won a gold medal or something, truley magical stuff.
















Even sam couldn't resist getting cosy with our newly founded friend.

All I can say is that from my first 5 hours of experience this is quite the gaming machine and I look forward to seeing some great games come out on it.

What's wrong with sitting in front of the T.V all day?

I have finally finished for the term having gone in and presented my assignment to my lecturer this afternoon. She seemed pretty happy with what I had done and everything went nice and smoothly. I am therefore officially on holidays and I get the pleasure of having both uni and school holidays combined by having the next three weeks off, oh yeah.

I am going up to Whyalla for the night tomorrow to take my nanna up there and to see my auntie and uncle who live there. I haven't been up there for about 10 years and I am sure I haven't missed out on much because there ain't much to see in Whyalla (if any of you have ever been there).

Upon my return one of the first things that I will be doing is going to purchase a brand new x box 360. I cannot wait to get it and i am sure that it will provide me with much entertainment over the next three weeks. In the meantime I have to get some loving out of the old box and don't worry I will be hanging onto the old girl cos she's been good to me. I'll let my brother have a loan of it in his room for awhile.

Anyway the next time I blog will probably be on the x box and man will I have a thing or two to say about it.

And I'm free........Free falling

Finally I have done my last day at childcare. No longer will I be forced to go look after small children without pay and I have finally finished all five of my placements. All thats left now is to sit and write it all up over the weekend.

My field educator came in today and also told me that I had passed etc, etc. She then went on to say that Flinders is looking for new staff and that they want me to call them regarding a 30 hour a week job. I was like what the hell. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to take part in this due to the fact that I still have another term of tafe and will go to uni next year.

Anyway I am happy now and after monday I will be back on holidays once more.

An insight into all things me

Okay there is a new addition to the side bar of the blog.

If you look to your right below my links colum there are two new titles. Ceppy's Quote/phrase of the week and Ceppys song of choice. The quote/phrases are just things that I find on the net or anywhere else that I find either amusing, hilarious or insightful. Also just letting you know in advance these may not be updated weekly if I cannot be fucked doing it so don't go getting shitty if there isn't a new one every week.

The other (Ceppys song of choice) is my favourite song at the moment and one that I suggest that you get and listen to. Again this may not change all the time but I will try to keep it up to date.

Enjoy.

Engineers of the world unite

Okay so I am a couple of days late, tough shit.

Anyway on friday night I took part in my first engineering pub crawl. This is due to the fact in the previous years I have had to work early on saturdays. Anyway It was a very good night out mainly due to the fact that there was cheap booze and heaps of mates to take the journey with.

We began at Uni bar (well this is where we met everyone) and we then left to go to PJ's where they had all imperial pints of beer for just $4 (what a bargain) We had a few pints here along with some cocktail that borgas bought. Me and Sean then decided to leave the party to get some much needed lining for our stomachs in the form of Hungry's burgers. We then went to the elephant where we again started drink imperial pints of beers. Here sean met his match made in heaven a young girl of asian apperance about half his height. They got close over the night and I am still yet to hear whether anything actually happened.

From the elephant it was off to Church. We arrived at 8.30 omly to find that it didn't open til 9. So it was off to Mansions for a few quick jugs of cocktails whatever they were. We got more pissed and then Borgas and myself returned to church soon to be joined by the rest of the gang. More drinking and general carving it up on the dance floor took place here. We left Church at about 11 and went to find the boys whom we had lost e.g. sean, borgas etc. I don't really remember what happened. We were waiting outside the Richmond for awhile. Here we met Lucas, Nicola, Jess. We waited around because I managed to loose Sam at church because he was being homosexual in dancing to RnB for too long. We finally found him and went to the ballroom. Here I met up with my girlfriend who I lost after PJ's. Sam and I again went to the dance floor to carve up some moves and we began to hit the spirits. After a good hour here everyont moved on to st pauls. I had every intention of going in but began to sober up and decided to go home.

All in all it was a great night and you can be sure i will be going next year (making sure I get a shirt this time).
