I Have Broadband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going ot go watch Viper bowl tonite i'll probly play a little pool play the arcade machines and if i get lucky i might get some photos of the vent which i will post here because no one else will want them.

Get This is coming back for a 2007 run it will now be a two hour format with tone and ed taking the first hour solo and being joined by a guest in the second hour it will be on 12:00 formerly the space reserved for tone's friend mick molloy but since he gave up the radio gig it was free space that the bigwigs at triple m thought needed the Get This touch. I have no idea if it will be played here in South Australia at noon or if it will be shoved into the drivetime spot like last year.

Thank God for Ratings Season finally I can get some good quality shows in about a week the ratings period will start again and with comes a couple of shows i have been anticiapting since i heard about them i am so gonna watch that new show Heroes and i cant wait for the new season of 24 to start. Now i will not be able to go out at night not that i do.

Here are some pics of stuff a couple of these are avatars and sigs and the iCoffee thing was something i was preping for a worth1000 competition but didn't enter as i missed the deadline. Thankgod I am getting broadband soon i must say years of dial up have been driving me crazy when everyone else i know has broadband it is extremly frustrating.

As i sit here typing this post i am surrounded by christian rock music you see i am doing work for the dole it is a way unemployed people can get job skills by basically working for free. I am part of a course that is supposed to teach me hospitality skills. Part of that course is setting up a community cafe where we serve people who come in and it is based at the local church now i am not a god fearing man but it is a little creepy to hear a cd by someone i've never heard of called Helena McNeill i only know this because i am looking it up on the windows media player that is playing in the background while i type it is on a loop and i think i am going to go insane if i hear another song about bloody GOD!!! No wonder people get swept up in places like Paradise Community Church where they sing bloody songs. I have to keep stoping and starting because i am using the only comp in this freaking place. the receptionist's. I was on here looking up bulk food wholesalers for the WFD project i am with. Im just filling time till 3'o clock when i get out of here and my supervisior told me to just pissfart around on the internet till the end of the day because the receptionist Rhonda had to leave early. Thanks for putting up with this rambling message.

I am a big Weird Al Yankovic fan i got into him because i had seen and heard his album at the local library that was Running With Scissors then i found they had Bad Hair Day and The Best of Weird Al Volume 1. Scince then i have a good percentage of his albums. For christmas I recieved his latest album Straight Outta Lynwood which i think is pretty good it also comes with a dvd of the animated videos he had professional animators. I think Dont Download This Song should have come before Trapped in the Dive-Thru just because his last 2 albums had a track that did it (Albquerque and Genius In France).

Here is a link to a track that was not included with his latest album because the corprate stiffs didnt want this song released but james blunt was happy to have it out there. So Al posted it on his webpage. I provide the link to you. Right click here and save as.

I have been reading a lot of books recently I just finished Michael Crichton's new novel 'Next. Is about genetics and about who owns what in this not quite present not quite future world where transgenic pets are becoming the norm. Which includes a half man half monkey hybrid, a monkey that can speak dutch and a grey bird with an extended vocabulary. Crichton has several storylines going at once and it is interesting to see these charchters cross into each others storylines.

Just today i got started on One Hit Wonderland by Tony Hawks (Not The Pro Skater) it is his quest to get a hit somewhere in the world after he had a one hit wonder.

One of my favourite books is surprisingly a memoir.... it's by Tony Martin it's called Lolly Scramble: A Memoir of Little Consequences and it documents his life through 15 short stories about his life from trying to corrupt his school's weird religious kid to his experience of having a whole tour bus turn against him. I urge evryone to go and seek it out it is bellyachingly funny and the Donkey Shines chapter particually resonates with me.

My sister just got into Harry Potter after 5 years of me telling her to read it she had nothing to do this summer so she went through all of them and now she is getting really weird i think she's having withdrawal symptoms she bought a notebook just because it had Harry's mug on it. Now she is starting to go thrugh them all again and she doesn't know how i could cope with it having to wait between books she has planned her year around when Harry's latest adventure comes out in literary and visual forms.

I have seen a couple of movies over the weekend The Fast and Furious 3 and Thank You For Smoking.

F&F3 was not my choice my sister has desperatly wanted to see it since she saw the trailer at the cinema. I think she wanted to compare the male lead guy to Paul Walker of the first two films. She was dissapointed. I gotta say it's a good piece of escapism but i would not probly ever see it again. It doesnt seem that special to me that someone can drift we get it everyday where we live. So i cant really say i liked this flick not being a car nut i cant really tell if it was acurate or not but i dont think it really matters with this piece of pulp.

Thank You For Smoking was actually an interesting film it centers around Aaron Eckhart's charachter Nick Naylor who is a Vice President for the tobbacco institute a site where they investigate the effects of nicotine for the big tobbacco companies of course they never find any links. He tries to get his son's respect when he decides that he isn't bonding with his son he takes him on a journey where his son will learn the fine art of spin. Meanwhile a Virginia senator played by William H. Macy is trying to put a large poison logo on front of all packets of cigaretts So Nick gets called into this hearing on the subjectIt's an interesting insight into the tobbacco industry. There is so much more in this movie like the M.O.D (Merchants Of Death) Squad which comprises of the Alcohol lobbyist, the Gun lobbyist and Nick the Tobbacco lobbyist.

I have to say there are some very subversive things in this movie i dont think it had a particualrly good run at the cinema but i reckon it could be a big hit on DVD.

As you can tell i thought a lot more of Thank You For Smoking and F&F 3.

This is an interesting picture i found in a macro group on flickr.com and it's kinda creepy too.

I wish television didn't have a self created off season it is so irritating to have shows that weren't good enough for the ratings season. They are losing so much of my viewing time to things like the internet I mean they are screening absloute crap on their primetime slots. Channel 7 with the friggin tennis that continues throughout the summer period.

Then there's the stuff that completely bombed with 7 again that show The Master god that show is so confusing and the so called "master" is a fucking smarmy git with a perminant smirk across his during the show that show bomber after one episode. Then they struck fools gold with "You May Be Right" a complete rip off of a show on the ABC(Australian Broadcasting Commision) called "Spicks and Specks" which was in turn I spin on a british show called "Never Mind The Buzzcocks"."You May Be Right" was described as a bad VHS copy that gets copied from tape to tape loses a little bit of quality with each generation.

Then 10 struck crap when it only aired 4 episodes of "Yasmin's Getting Married" now i must say my sis and my mum watched this pile o shit it did not even last a week before getting axed. The they tried to launch a new show called "David Tench Tonite" it is a chat show with a difference the host is completely digital he has a fuckin big head. Oh and so called "sketch comedy" show "The Wedge" so unfunny that the laugh track becomes it's own joke. That show is just so boring andf old it's like something out of the early nineties. It is produced by Ian McFadjyn who was in The Comedy Comapny a fairly decent sketch comedy of the late eighties and early nineties.

I dont know how 9 got away with the Knives on Shoes Show aka: Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice about hte only person who didn't get hurt was Karl Stephnovic of the australian Today show. Which led "Get This" to hypothesize that he was a robot called the Stepahnovanator.

Then ABC showed Extra's with Ricky Gervais out of order by starting with the second episode then showing the first episode. I honestly didnt see it but i just hate it when shows are shown out of order.

I guess this just turing into a very long diatribe about how television is just going down the crapper. Come on Ratings Period.

i found the website that Randall flames in Clerks II it's kinda funny to see what he's writing when Dante interupts him.

Go Check It Out @

This movie is hillarious the first one i saw of Kevin Smith's movies was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back but it was when i read a review of clerks in a videogaming magazine sold here in australia called HYPER>> that inspired me to go out and see the first clerks film that in turn inspired me to seek out kevin smith's movies. just in case you dont know who he is the one on the very left of the poster. If you have not seen this movie i urge you to see it won GAMERadio's Best Movie of The Year.

Here's another poem i liked it was recited on Get This
one of my fav comedians is Tony Marin
It was recited by Frank Woodley of Lano and Woodley during their final tour as a duo the date of broadcast was:

11/8/2006

His parents said he could do anything.
If he put his mind to it.
They said “Son you gotta believe in yourself”.
“You can do it if you just put your mind to it”.

So he set his heart and soul.
On winning the Melbourne Cup.
But his parents were unrealistic dickheads.
And he was 6ft 8.

He came up with the only plan.
That would get him down to correct weight.
Both his arms and both his legs he decided to amputate.

So the crowd on that November day.
Went wild and a huge applause went up.
As he gripped the reins within his teeth and a
Bouncing torso rode the winner of the cup.

Heres a great poem i heard on

The D - Generation's: The Breakfast Tapes (1989-90)

My tie dyed flares are fading, My beanbag’s full of cracks,
All my favourite sea monkeys are floating on their backs.
My Malvern star’s been stolen, My spirograph is busted,
The pole on my totem tennis set in snapped in half and rusted.

TV’s lost the Brady Bunch, I haven’t watched it since.
Deadly Earnest’s disappeared, Now all we’ve got is Hinch.
My Miller shirt is fraying, I’m out of corduroy,
I yearn for the taste of pikelets and the suck of a Sunny Boy.

My brush-o-matic’s missing, My nerf ball’s on the roof,
I’ve lost my coral necklace – you know, with the genuine sharks tooth
I guess my world has crumbled, I’ve got to face the facts,
That my tie dye flares are fading, And my beanbag’s full of cracks.

well i figure everybody has a stab at one of these it might seem like these online journals are are a dime a 2 dozen on the web but hey i dont care if nobody reads this but if you i hope you get something out of it
