Two's a Charm

Well good news all, two of my favourite artists are on the way to Adelaide and the concerts follow on from each other. That's right one concert is the day after the first one.

Who am I talking about?

Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer.

I know some of you other boys are interested so make sure you get tickets

Mayer goes on sale tomorrow so I'll be up early.

What an awesome two days its going to be.

Your prize a Robot Butler

I went out and bought a PS2 on the weekend and I am very glad I did.

It is at a bargain price at the moment and when it comes to games of entertainment you just can't go past it. Yes thats right it is better than the x box and the x box 360 in terms of the games that I like to call party games.

These include the two games I got with it, Buzz the music quiz, and Singstar Legends. Lets just say that when it comes to games you want to play while pissed off your nut the PS2 is the way to go.

Now I'm not saying that it is better than my much loved x box 360 cos lets face it, nothing Sony has or ever will put out will match the box. However Sony are very clever in their game development and as far as these types of games go, they rule the competition. I mean microsft hasn't even tried to release anything like it for their console which is really a shame.

As I previously mentioned I got Buzz the music quiz and singstar legends with the playstation and they are great games to play with some mates. I'll have to get the newly released Buzz game based around Australian sporting, that would be wicked.

There is also the guitar hero game which looks like it could be a bit of fun as well.

The only other advantage for the PS2 is that there are heaps of games for it and they are all super cheap. Some titles I'm considering are Simpsons Hit and Run and GT4 which are around 20 bucks. What bargains.

So let me know if your up for playing some buzz and singstar during the holidays cos it is great fun.

Elevate me

A day late at best however after waiting over a year for the concert I'm sure you won't mind too much.

Lets just say that U2 rocked my world on thursday night and it was well worth all the waiting, dehydration, and sunburn that was inflicted on me.

I'm not going to get into to much detail considering wagga has explained most of it, however I will say this, the set list was awesome (see wagga's blog for the full list) and to be within 2 metres of bono and the edge playing songs such as new years day and where the streets have no name was an experience I will never forget.

Of course the highlight for me was my favourite song Sunday Bloody Sunday. That was just too awesome to even describe.

Like wagga I too rated this concert as close to one of the best I have ever been too, however to pick between Coldplay and U2 is just impossible.

The newspapers have been saying however that the atmosphere at AAMI on thursday night was lacking. To that all I can say is you were in the wrong spot for the concert. The Pit was the place to be and believe me we were making enough noise to not notice that the people seated weren't getting into the experience. All I can say to them is that you missed out on getting involved in something great.

Gambling is the devils game

The nation stopped yesterday for the running of the annual Melbourne Cup, the biggest racing event in Australia.

Many people made their way to the local TAB to place a bet on the big race, so many people in fact that there was a record figure for the big race. Around 8 and a half million dollars was bet by Australians on the race.

I put in my effort betting 20 dollars, 10 each way.

I paid for this by losing it all, along with thousands of other Australians.

Most people bet on the favourite Torqueet which in the end only beat the horse I bet on by one place. I bet on On a Journe which is the horse that came runner up to the Diva last year. This year it managed to come in 20th. Stupid fucking horse.

The winning horse was never mentioned to win the Cup and yet it surprised us all. Delta Blues won the cup with the late favourite Pop Rock coming in second. It just goes to show that the favourites don't always come good.

U2 have touched down in Aussie land.

That's right people.

The U2 concert is 2 weeks away from today and let me just say that it has been a long time coming since their cancelation earlier in the year.

Their tour starts next week so in the mean time Bono and Company will be relaxing in the Aussie climate. Bono is also set to meet our great bald leader, John Howard, to discuss what Bono loves best, saving the world from hunger, destruction, and of course poverty. Now that's an interview I'd like to see.

I look forward to the concert in a couple of weeks time.

Work is good at the moment. Basically I get paid 21.50 an hour to look after a bunch of kids. It's amazing what a qualification can get you.

My job also involves me planning week to week for the older kids which is kind of a pain in the arse but I do get paid extra to do it.

My spare time is used up a bit at the moment by learning new songs on the guitar. At the moment I can play a few different songs however I am yet to master them. It did however only take me a few hours to nail the start of stairway to heaven.

Well I better get back to practicing if I'm to release a Christmas Album by the end of the year.
