Jus' bday
Last Thursday we went out to celebrate Jus's 20th birthday at Cafe Bella Rosa. It was a pretty informal dinner, with chatting and the consumption of italian dishes. There was Jus, Jonno, Pete, Dom, Bec, Becky, Aileen, Nicole, Shaun and myself. Not much to say really, it was just a night out for some food and conversation. I did take pictures, but like I said, due to my ineptitude, only a couple pictures turned out ok, so my apologies. AFter dinner we just went to MacDonalds to chat the night away.
Now, that night, although I did tease Becky when she asked about World of Warcraft, I realise that perhaps I should've made more of an effort to explain to her what the game is about, since during exam week she did say she was interested to know more about my hobbies, of which one is a voracious appetite for games. I guess I kinda teased her about it because based on past experience, girls aren't really fascinated by these sorts of stuff, so the whole idea about talking games related topics to girls is kind of foreign to me. So instead I talk to women about why they're such terrible drivers, lack any sense of direction and generally have it easy in life. I guess that last sentence make a compelling argument why I shouldn't procreate.
So here it is, a brief explanation of....World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft is a game set in a persistent online fantasy world where thousands of players log on and play/interact with other fellow players, whether real life friends (like Jus, Shaun and Dan, who are also playing it) or random people from different countries. Players create online characters with different classes and do all sorts of fantasy related activities like doing quests, killing monsters, trading goods and services, attacking enemy cities, the list goes on. There are different races and classes you can go, races being humans, or elves, or trolls and orcs, while classes being more like professions, such as being a warrior, priest (healer), mage, druid etc. The races are split into two factions, called Alliance and Horde. Both of course, are mortal enemies of each other.
After reading that previous paragraph, it strikes me how incredibly nerdy the whole affair sounds. However, let me assure you that, like a lot of things, while at first it sounds stupid and childish, when you actually do it its a whole lot of fun. Also, WoW might mean I won't be seeing any of you guys for awhile, so you might be comforted to know I'm not actually dead. I dunno, I just like games I guess, especially the more social, thinking games, and it doesn't help that with the way I am, people seem to like inviting me to all sorts of events and situations where I play
even more games, if that were possible. It's also a reason why sometimes I don't seem to reply to msn messages or whatnot, simply because I'm playing a game and thus am unaware that people (puzzlingly so) wish to talk to me.
To summarise, games give jase happy face ok? :)
Anyway, here's a....touching little tale I read recently about love that has an important message behind the story;
I was happy. My girlfriend and me were dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream!
There was only one thing bothering me, quite much indeed, and that was my mother-in-law to be. She was a career woman, smart, but most of all beautiful and sexy, who sometimes flirted me, quite obviously too, and made me feel uncomfortable.
One day, she called me and asked me to come over, to check the invitations. So I went. She was alone, and when I arrived, she whispered to me, that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she can't overcome. So before I get married and commit my life to her daughter, she wants to make love to me just once..
What could I say? I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. So, she said, I'll go to the bedroom, and if you are up for it, just come and get me. I just watched her delicious behind as she went up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, and then turned around and went to the front door... I opened it, and stepped out of the house. Her husband was standing outside, and with tears in his eyes, hugged me and said, we are very happy and pleased, you have passed our little test. We couldn't have asked for a better man for our daughter. - Welcome to the family.
Lesson learned:
Always keep your condoms in your car.

Yeah feeling a lot better since that last post. It was funny, I was at Gametraders today after work to ask about the gamecards, and I started off with "Now, World of Warcraft-" to which the immediate response of the guy was "No way in hell you're going to get a copy mate, next week if you're lucky". So in the end I did the right thing. Props to all the girls and boys for helping me, the company of friends both at work and at play helps a great deal. I'll do a short writeup of Jus's bday dinner thing later, but unfortunately due to my own incompetence, half of the pictures I did take turned out to be crap, which is bad cos that half was all photos of jus. Sorry Jus :(. Anyway I'm going to head into perth to buy a book, so toodles.
FUCK FUCK FUCK
Today has gotta be the one of the worst days ever. Not only has everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, I had the misfortune to run into what could be one of the biggest wankers I've had the
pleasure of meeting.
I'll make this short because dwelling on it is just going to make me even more irritable. This morning I went to Garden City's EB to pick up WoW (World of warcraft) for Jus's bday. Turns out they were sold out well in the morning (I went around 11.30). So fast forward through the rest of the
shitty day. By 4.45 I'm pissed off and furious as a
pissed off badger, but I get the call from EB saying WoW had come in. I hadnt actually told them to reserve me a copy, because it would require a deposit and I'd figured I could maybe find it elsewhere. I didn't. So when I get the call, I had to quickly grab it before the store shut, otherwise I'd have to come back tomorrow and maybe miss out again. Which would suck since Jus's dinner thing is tomorrow. So after finally getting to garden city around 5.20 (the place closes at 5.30 I'm pretty sure), I start walking to Garden City toward EB, in the parking lot, when some DICK sees me, and SPEEDS UP to try and get past me before he has to slow down for me. Of course, he doesn't make it, abruptly brakes in front of me, and HONKS me. Note that I'm not jogging or running, I'm just walking normally. So clearly, since my walking speed is clearly too fast for him, he honks me because it's
my fault. Of course, on any normal day, I probably would've shrugged it off. However, today I'm clearly pissed off, and probably more than a little belligerent, so I give him the change from his honk, which comes to exactly one raised middle finger. He drives about 3 metres before seeing the change, so he stops abd honks angrily twice again. So, being the nice guy I am, I return his change. So now I continue walking and cross the zebra crossing, and notice I have around 5-7 minutes to pick up WoW, when the guy speeds around, stops at the zebra crossing, and tells me to come over to his car and do it again.
Now therein lies the dilemma. Here I am, pissed off as hell, and as if my prayers were answered, god sends me this perfect guy to vent my hithero unvented rage deservedly upon this wrinkled, fat bellied man on the wrong side of the 40's. On the other hand, I have around 5 minutes to pick up the pressie, or risk not having it in time tomorrow night. I can't do both. I paused, and looked at him, mentally picturing me holding his collar in one hand while I'm punching his face repeatedly, yelling obscenities. And the guys can testify, when I'm properly riled up I have little self control over myself. Yet, with painfully great restraint, I told him to fuck himself, and walked towards Garden City, ignoring his call of "gutless!" at my back. I got to the store just as they were shutting the store, and convinced them to sell me WoW before they closed.
I was shaking, shaking with fury after that, but no friend puts himself before his buddies, no matter how much he wishes to god it didn't have to be so. I still am, trembling slightly as I tell this story with a, from my point of view, sad ending. Oh god Jus, I don't think you'll ever understand how much it cost me to do what I did. I managed to vent my anger at my punching bag, but it's not the same. Mummy made me feel better, as mummies are wont to do, but hopefully typing this down will be
therapeutic, because I'm never retelling this story again.
I hope I see that bastard again, I pray to god I get one more chance. Everyone asks for one more chance, but sometimes, you have to make your own justice.

Exams Finito
Hi, my exams are officially over. Since most of my friends have either ditched me, or haven't finished their exams yet, I'll be going to the pub with trusty Pete.
I found out recently that in the Phillipines, they include rolling papers in their bags of weed. Ingenious. Thats what I call fucking
service.
Like, bye.
Hey baby a girl like you......
I had a dream last night you took me by the hand
And we went off someplace in a faraway land
I asked you to promise that you'd never ever go
And if thats what you did I'd never ask for anything at all
Hey baby, look how pretty you are
standing there with a smile on your face
A girl like that i'll never be afar
And I'd never let you go without a chase...
Everyday I look at you I wonder if I see
In those pretty eyes whether you feel the same as me
And everytime we say goodbye it makes me wanna cry
And the words I wanna say to you just turn into a sigh
Hey baby, look how pretty you are
holding my hand as if you'd never let go
a girl like you I'd never be afar
and if you gave me the chance I'd let the whole world know
Sometimes I wish I'd never talked to you at all
That my heart wouldn't break like it's breaking so
But everytime I see your face I change my mind again
Even though being close to you brings me so much more pain
Hey baby, look how pretty you are
Lying there with a twinkle in your eye
A girl like you I'd never leave afar
And if you don't say the words I could just possibly die
If you say those words I feel my heart could fly.

Farewell Ody
Despite my clear intentions to stay at home during exam period, I found myself out last friday night to farewell my buddy Ody before he leaves to go back to Indo tomorrow. Ody is a buddy I met online playing the game
Call of Duty, and he's part of my clan (a clan is a online team that competes in competitions against other clans). The clan's called eXtreme Professionals, which is to say one of the most singularly uninspired names I've come across, but I joined after the formation, so I had no say in the clan name decision making process. All the WA xP'ers came, Ody, Aaron, Mushii (Sam), Tickets (Alex) and myself. We went for dinner at Nando's before heading to the Snooker Lounge for some pool and drinks. We had a great time, chatting and playing, and Tickets got absolutely smashed after a
3 or 4 bourbon/cola mixes. He was a minor though (16), so WE WERE BREAKING THE LAW by supplying ALCOMOHOL to a MINOR! OMG SECRETS NO COPS PLS!
Anyway, I brought my camera along, so once again you can enjoy the long loading times, for the majority on dialup. Plus side, you get to see me! :P
P.S - Sorry if it sounds like I'm just straight to the point, but all my time is needed for study/WOW :P
P.P.S - Dan is a loot whore

U.S Elections
as I type this its 172-112 in favour of Bush
Of course, it looks like Bush is going to win, which I predicted months ago, and I would be surprised if he didn't win, considering he's the better choice out of the two
Difficult to believe, I know, but it's true
UPDATE:
TOO CLOSE TO CALLBush will still win, imo
why? its called
conservative america folks. American conservatism has grown since 11/9 and Bush offers to many AMericans what they truly want; security. Kerry just doesn't offer that, despite his other qualities, and its what will cost him the election. Who can blame him? The US public is bombarded everyday with several warnings on how theres a terrorist danger, potential attack, and other assorted keywords that quite obviously make ordinary citizens insecure. No one remembers Enron, or the other economic disasters on his watch. No one remembers the giant clusterfuck that was Florida and the 2000 elections. Who will wave those "Hail to the Thief" banners now? Conservative America is now more than ever a major electoral power, and Bush obviously appeals to that, as well as his middle class policies to which a majority of them are in conservative white surburban america.
Control through fear Ladies and Gentlemen, and its an age old tactic. And,
guess what it fucking
works.
Don't get me wrong though. Bush
is the better choice. Quite simply, because you
don't change commanders in the middle of battle. Lets face it, we're in a war right now, whether we like it or not, and you can thank Johnny Howards Pro Yank policies for that. And while we'll won't know at the moment, it is quite possible that if Kerry was to win, he could
fuck things up even more. Not just for America, but for the "Coalition of the Willing", which boasts the Commonwealth of Australia as a member, ie
us.
Let me construct a hypothetical scenario;
Kerry wins, and first on the agenda, orders the pull out of all American troops out of Iraq. Without American man or firepower to uphold it, the Iraqi Government collapses. Fundamental Shiite clerics and their factions take over, or even worse, degenerate into a hotbed of conflict as rival clerics/factions war with each other for control. Iraq becomes a haven and training ground for future generations of terrorists, all of them
pissed off at their western invaders, ie UK US and
us. Iraqi instability has spillover effects to the middle east, increasing the prices of oil, and causes world recession.
Hell, who knows, we could lose the whole
fucking middle east to those fundie ragheads, and then we'd be
proper fucked.
Its highly unlikely, but it
could happen.
I know I'm using a lot of profanity, but it
pisses me off that so many people jump the "We hate Bush" bandwagon without thinking, just because
everyone else does it. If it's one thing I hate nowadays, it's this whole world and their retarded sheep mentality. You have to
think about the
consequences. Sure, the guy might be dumb, the guy might have stirred up a virtual hornet's nest, but without him, we could be
worse off. And changing Presidents now may be like switching firemen while the house is on fire; sure, the new guy may do it better, but chances are he doesn't know whats going on, and end up doing
worse.
However, don't think for one moment I love Bush. The guy is an idiot, and I often wonder how Al Gore might've handled things. However, we'll never know now, so we're going to have to make do as best we can.
Some of you may think it's a trivial thing to be worked up about, but these elections will shape the world for years to come, beyond the nominal four year Presidential term. As humans, we're shortsighted, selfish creatures, but we shouldn't
revel in it.

"I Wanna Take You Out In Your Holiday Sweater"
In the morning
I see you with your hair down
Watch as you turn your sonny's light on
As your honey leaves for work
In the evening 7 after 7
I see you all made up and out the window you are starin'
Right through me
Down to the side street
Around the corner
To the city
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
In the evening 11 after 7
I see you dressed and pressed and past the hedges you are standin'
Come to me around the pine tree
Trough the trellis
Up the front steps
A slight form behind a screen door
Elbow patches on a tweed coat
Sweet perfume promenades around the front porch
Right through me
Sonny's light beams
You look so pretty
OH, GOOD NIGHT!
Ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba-ba ba ba BA BA!
I wanna take you out
In your holiday sweater
I wanna take you out
In your holiday sweater
I wanna take you out

I wanna take you out
