Round Shiny Blog

*sigh* As you who pay attention should know i sent my graphics card back to the pakistanis i bought it from, it took them 2 months and 5 days to get it back to me, a week later the card is fucking up again. However there is a possibility that is is 1) a fucked AGP slot or 2) A fucked motherboard. (unlikely) Either way itll cost more to fix than it did for the card in the first place.
These are some pics, take note of the one with the bios start up screen AND my desktop picture in it...










Today, other than a whole lot of cursing and swearing, i went for a drive to St Kilda and back, i decided i wanted to go for a drive, so i did. I nearly ran over some dude mum said was rather attractive, erin would have agreed, i couldnt describe him but she would have. I told mum erin would prolly steal him off her and she said thats ok hell be dead, im like what? and mum said after one night ill have killed him... now i knew she was talkin about 'using' him to the point of him being so warn out he dies. The thought of my mum 'using' anyone/thing is rather sickening and one i do not want to continue to have.

Me and spiess are going to the auto salon car show on sunday, Fudgeboy should come, maybe he could find himself some car stuff for his car, like a turbo timer, or a nice BOV, or a pod filter, or cold air intake, or something. Heaven: Turbos, Imports, Chicks, NOS, Subwoofers, Bikini Girl Contest, DJ's scratchin tunes, and 512Kw Nissans on the Dyno, better yet a 5 Litre Turbo Statesman that couldnt even get past 200Kw due to poor tuning and a fucked hose.

Next weekend, ill prolly go to Ballarat with mick and we will go out with shannon, mick sent me a message today that went something like this, Guess what, i got my P's on monday and...... Broke up with Channy (said: Shanny), How goods that?! im like ye... thats.. great... Ah well maybe he can hook in with one of shannons friends.

Steve steve steve.... oh what will we do with you... youre worse than me, i have no problem drinknig myself into a drunken stuper, but you... want to do it every day. Also why didnt you come up with this idea to stay at the park when it was summer and not freezing outside?

Mums thinking about getting ADSL or DSL i think its just DSL, with TPG, i think its what jason is on, Unlim u/d Dynamic IP, 256/64, $49.95. Free modem and $130 setup fee.
Now knowing my mum she'll forget about it in a week and ill be stuck with the same old shit 44k. But for now the outlook looks ok.

Happy non official 1 Year to ben and kiah tomorrow (april 1st) Ah so many things have changed. For better and worse....

boo

Bored of black and dot matrix. We need better blogs, we need graphical blogs. then you could have one with trogdor as a bg (which i tried to do but failed due to non graphicalness)

I also fucked up my other template and then accidentally saved over it, so, its back to even more crappyness.not even a funky headder no more. Altho this works. colours dont contrast, and they all complement eachother. even the slightly pink time stamp.

hahah something i found remarkably stuipidifying is this.

The rest is meant to be issued on a 'you get it when u need it' basis. Kinda like communism, you only get what you need.

Started Tafe the other day, the police course, today is the first aid course. The police one was ok.. we just learnt the steps in getting to the police academy, theres like 11 dam steps, its gonna be quiet hard, getting into the army would be easier. The fitness part of the enrollment is dang easy, all ye gotta do is run 900m and get over or thru a number of obstacles. Due to supposed 'racial and sexual discrimination' the wooden wall has been removed, it was the average height of a fence, like that you have in yer backyard, so about 160-180cm, apparently it was removed because Asian races and females couldnt get over it, because of their smaller frames.

First aid course should be fun-ish, as long as they dont make us do scenarios, i hate them ,they place someone on the floor and you have to rush in and check all this shit and act like its real, cmon, unless theres actual blood its just not real. Just saying 'He has a Sucking chest wound, and she has a complicated leg fracture, just doesnt cut it, i wanna hear the sucking sounds and watch the blood flick all over the room when the dude breathes out, and i wanna see bone sticking out of that womans leg, Maybe even some arterial bleeding too, just to add some fun.

Anyway, thats my dollars worth.

Okay, they screwed up my all round defence.

its pretty much a circle around the secco and signaller. cause then you have fire cover in a 360deg circle.

Reserve weekend training again tonite, twas indeed cool.

We mostly did RATEL (radio telecommunications) procedures, like LOCSTAT (location status) and CASEVAC (Casualty evacuation) Boring... oh so boring, but need to know.

Apparently were taking these shit hot radios onthe weekend. cant remember the name, but they have crypto gear, which means u can talk normal on the radion and it encrypts yer speach at 128bit then sends it to the other radio and decrypts it. I think they might be RAVEN's but not too sure, cause that wasnt the name he used. Apparently theyre so secret [oooh, aaahhh] he couldnt get clearance to take one to our unit to show us.

Then we moved onto Contact drills. What you do when you see a mofo with a gun pointed at you.

its kinda cool, if u see enemy, you Yell, TAKE COVER, (duh) then whoever has seen the enemy gives a report, 20 meteres left of tree with red tape on it, machine gunner at base of tree. Then the whole section must say seen or not seen, when that happens the section commander, yells, out a field formation, at that point the section gets up, runs 2-3 paces, drops, leopard crawls, gets up takes 2-3 paces drops leopard crawls, till in position. ofcourse not all at the same time, someone has to lay down cover fire. once you kill the mofo, the section commander can yell fight though, at which stage you pepper pot (dont as bout the name i dunno...) you kinda break off into groups of 2 or 3, the first of the group leopard crawls then stops, while the second and or third lay down cover fire, then the second of the group crawls while the first lays down fire, so you advance up to and past the dead enemy, the secco decides when to stop this, (usually 50-100 meters past the enemy, cause its to check for more enemy before you get up and start 'humping' as they call it, {walking} then the secco calls get up, so yall get up then advance, then he cals an all round defence, at that stage, the section goes from this [example]

| | | | | | | | | | |

[This]

The dude in the middle is the Secco, the dude next to him is the signaller, the o is the second in command (2ic) and the _ | \ / 's are riflemen or machine gunners or scouts [in no order]

For the exersize i am the 2ic of the section, so my job is to run from each person in the section and check if they have injuries, ammo or any other problems. keep in mind weve just run/crawled 100 meters or so, and all round defence are meant to be anything up to 100-200 meters in diameter. As u can imagine yer already fucked and the 2ic has to run around the whole 'circle' and check everyone, needless to say its a shit job, cause u cant just jog, u must get up, run and jump down at the next person. Pain in arse...

The signaller stays with the secco so the secco can give contact reports and stuff.

Then the secco chooses 2 people to go back to the dead enemy, and strip him of weapon, and anything else of use, grenades, maps, side arms, and if wanted, radios.

when thats done, you get up and keep going.

I tells ye, its hard work but shit its fun. I got grazes, bruises, a sore hip (jumped on the ground and landed on a webbing pouch) but the adreniline goes SHOOMP right thru ye. specially when someones firing at you like las year.

so ye, that was most of my night.

In other news, erin's horny. shes gettin her queen sized bed soon. Space for all!!

Not going to the grand prix [Cryface]

Tafe starts next tuesday :s

im hot [as in heat]

Bart: Come on, man, everyone knows the first day of school is a total wank.
Seymour: Well, if by "wank" you mean educational fun, then stand back it's wanking time!

Bart: Dude, take it easy on the fatty foods. You're running out of leg veins to transplant into your heart!
Homer: I've got arm veins, don't I?
[one for steve in years to come :> ]

Lisa: Eeew, how long has this baking soda been in here?
Marge: I dunno, it came with the house.
Bart: Hey dad, I bet you five bucks you can't eat the whole box!
Homer: Five? Why don't we make it fifty. Ooh, you're going to regret this!
Lisa: I'll call Poison Control.
[one for ben, ewww at that potato cake]

ok too tired for more...

What is up with these women with large amounts of facial hair. Seriously, dont they look in the mirror, or do they see it but ignore it? Women are not meant to have facial hair, men have facial hair (altho stupid looking and annoying at times) but women do not. This women on the bus today had more hair on her face than i did and i aint shaved for... atleast 4 days. but she only had like 50 odd strands of it (guessing) and it was black. Like miss abreu a school, except only on her chins. I say chins because she wasnt a small woman, nor was she an attractive woman, which gets me on my next point. HOW TEH HELL DO THESE PEOPLE BREED. This woman has 2 kids, one of which looks like her mother and will no doubt be as ugly and fat as her mother given a few years, and the other one wasnt on the bus. Either the dude was really fucked up in the head (aparently she only got divorced from her husband in january, i was eavesdropping on their conversation which sounded like it had an IQ of 3) or he was really really sick. I would rather cut off my dick than stick it in a woman that damn ugly, this woman shoulda been locked up in a cage and had tourist groups visiting her. I know ugliness isnt her fault, but facial hair non removal is dammit. HOW CAN THEY NOT GET RID OF IT.

My new ramble, is about busses, some of you people might feel my pain, i know steve will. (if ofcourse he reads this) Bus seats are too close to eachother, they are spaced for people of a height of no greater than 5'11. If you are more than this height you must either, stand, or sit sideways, taking up 2 seats, in which you get looks from people who are just thinking about how much of a selfish bastard you are, so ofcourse you squish into this little space they leave just to let the arsehole sit down. You then have your knees in the back of the chair infront and are kneeing the person in that chair in the back, so every time you move you rock them, which we all know is annoying when done to us. Bus manufacturers need to make their busses for taller people. They are getting better, decent air con, lower floors, more comfy seats, but no leg room. Fix it dammit, my knees are screwed as it is i dont need bus seats makin it worse. Another ramble on the height issue, whats with these busses where the headspace gets to like 5'10 or less, you know the ones where to sit at the back you must crouch down (for the taller of us, midgets do not have such problems) Pain in the arse busses with no head or leg room.

Yet another topic, Cars, the horror of catching a bus is starting to annoy me, hairy faced women, stupid 14 year olds talking about how much piss they had last nite and how they feel like more now, loudenuff so the whole bus can hear it, old people who take 20 bloody minutes to get on and off the bus, people with prams, people who give u looks and make u get up so they can selfishly sit down, pines rats, wogs, and officeworks employees are overwelming to most of us (unless ofcourse you fit into one of these generalisations.) I want a car, i hate busses, taking an hour to get a bus home is a bitch. Why do asshole people always have cars. I saw gavin lewandowski drivin his piece of shit holden past me at the bus stop at the hub today, it made me ponder, why does that arsehole, who dropped out of school half way thru year 11, to become a mechanic with no future get a fuckin car, while i or all ye other people without cars are made to catch second rate public transport with the scum of the world. No offence to those who have cars, im sure your parents enjoyed saving up to pay for it. And if they didnt, i dunno where the fuck ye got yer money from, cause none of you lazy pricks work.

Fuck you P platers.

reserve training, i have the reserve weekend coming up, we go to cerberus, walk around with rifles do contact drills (rules of engagement and stuff (lots of fun)) and field formations, and teamwork things (like falling backwards off a meter and half high platform, to be caught by rest of section. and the MUD RUN, its a 1k long treck thru a giant puddle of mud, at times can be 1.5-1.7 meters high (NOT made for midgets) theres more pairs of shoes been lost in that run than what there is in speeds. We must take an ammo box (ammo was for 155mm Howitzers) and they place an egg in it, and we must have the egg in tact by the end of the run. You get sooooo friggin dirty it aint funny.

Training weekend, that was kinda craptastic, it was meant to be a day at Cerberus at the ropes crossing at the pool they have, but it got cancelled for some reason, so we did an in house training weekend, i was not ever at any time meant to be staying at cerberus for the weekend, whoever made that up musta been smokin something good.

I asked shannon to get me tickets to the GP but i asked her today about whats goin on and she said she hasnt asked her mum and her mum aint talking to her, but shes going to see her mum tonite and she will try work her magic. I dont have my hopes up on going but ill be dissapointed if she fails me, cause i wanna go, plus i cant go to the motor show due to lack of interest by you bastards, cept maybe erin, but shes tied up with tafe and cant go, spiess works 5 days a week and im busy on the weekends.

Police tafe course, its not called that, i dunno what its called, but it better bloody be usefull in gettin me into the cops, i need to get into the cops to start earning some money to get me a fuckin car.

First aid course, self explanitory.

Ballarat, shannon wants me and mick to go to ballarat and go out with her mates, (steve too, but sorry steve too young :'( ) this prolly wont happen due to mick having basketball on friday and sunday, so saturday is out because basketball is in the morning and we cant get back from ballarat at 7am...

im peeling like a mofo, today i got erin to come outside and scratch me to remove the dead skin off my back and front, it was quite sick... bits of skin were floating off into the distance, had some keepers too. And as i saw when i got home, my bed is full of skin flakes... so im going to have to vacuum it, and change it when i stop peeling. ew


File sharing, kazaa sucks donkey balls, i dunno whats going on but when i download songs lately they fuck up something shocking, you know they go all staticy and blippy and fucked up. its really pissing me off, copyrights suck, stop fucking up my music damn you evil music companies.

Ben is now my role model, i was quite impressed with his engineering camp beer drinking effort, heil the beer bong. The sponge award was rightly presented to him.

Time to go scratch more skin from myself.
