strange but enjoyable

‘The Darjeeling limited’ was a bit of a weird one. First there was a short film with one of the charactors that was in the main film, then there was the main film.

I’m not really sure what to make of it, i think quirky is a good description. 3 brothers going on a bonding journey that doesnt really work out as planned.

lets say 3 /7

boxing day blues

Kicking back watching the cricket with wife, ryan and keith. After a rivetting half hour of ‘the cricket show’ our stomachs began to rumble. It’s lunchtime.

Time for some boxing day tofu steaks.

ALL THE SUPERMARKETS ARE CLOSED, EVEN WESTFIELD!!!!!!!!

Its a travesty! You would think at least one supermarket in the area would be open. But non.

And so that was christmas

Christmas day began early, much earlier than it needed to begin. 7:03 my alarm went off so that wife and i could do the present thing before heading off to 8am church. Then after 8am church it was off to the inlaws for some present opening and 3 hours of just sitting doing nothing waiting to go to extended inlaws house for lunch. Lunch was interesting lots of tension amoungst those involved in cooking, serving etc. More sitting around some presents, more sitting around some more food then a dash home with debbie to watch the simpsons movie and the panel. tom came and visited too.

I’m not much of a fan of christmas. I could rant for hours about my dislike of christmas but i wont cause some people enjoy it and good on them

Did you get what you wanted this christmas????????

bee grade

I was expecting this movie to be pretty funny and clever, I was quite dissapointed, it was boring, not really funny.

2/7

merry freakin christmas from optus

you have used 100% of your monthly data allowance. your connection will now be slowed down so much that that its not worth while even turning your computer on.

Seasons Greetings

Corporate pigs department 

Optus

the above may not actually word for word represent what the email said.

slice, dice and pick those teeth

Only 3 more sleeps until i can open up my presents and get my swanky new swiss army pocket knife.

then i can use the knife to open all my other presents in a vicious and masculine way, and if i’m feeling timid and feminine i can fold out the handy little scissors and gently cut the wrapping paper.

bloated bliss

tomorrow is the last day of work until Jan 14.

I am filled with holiday joy, hence the slightly larger than normal gut.

accomidation

booking overseas accomidation online is fun, got us a little apartment in dubai for 3 nights.

I’m  hoping to avoid bed and breakfasts in the UK but the problem is that my mum and jenny both like them.

favourite wife makes favourite meal

wife made spag bol tonight, she makes good spag bol. The secret ingredient is $3 wine!

All class when we go to dan murpheys to buy a bottle of $3 wine.

in unrelated news i stunk out our whole office today with some killer wind.

who are you?

Well yet again I find myself on top of the ‘yes i do want to find my mum’ wave. It comes and goes quite often. I’m still not really sure why I want to find our who she is, and i’m not sure why i wouldnt want to know.

At the moment it seems like a goodish idea especially seeing as I’m going to Scotland in May next year.

Today I requested an application form for my full birth certificate and court records so then that will give me a name hopefuly of the mystery mother.

then with that new birth certificate i then take that to some other place that helps me track her down.

my current birth certificate was written over a year after i was born and it has no parent details just my name on it.

so who knows what will come if it.

No. 6

Howie’s Headlines No. 6 now up.

highland fling

Well we just paid for a trip to my birth country.

We are off to Scotland (and England and Dubai) in May next year.

fun

living on a knife edge

I think i’m going through the most stressful time of my entire life. I am so unsure about my future, whether or not I will be able to function in a few days time or if its all pretty much over. I cant see positives in the day to day.

Today i received a lifeline but will it be enough or will it be consumed before a fix is found.

People of the blog world. I have 1 can of coke left in the house, tomorrow it will be consumed, then thanks to more than generous gift from the French family  I now have a can for friday aswell, but beyond that who knows.

Jenny went to buy a case of cans today but coles had sold out!

I could be faced with the worst weekend in history if there is no remedy found.

I can’t go on without the liquid gold by my side, its what keeps me on the coke side of life, and i dont want to cross over to the no coke side of life, for a life without coke is a life without hope.

Scotland – marketing genious

The Scottish Governemnt has been trying to boost tourism to the beautiful land. the tourist board has come up with an award winning slogan.

It is, ‘Welcome to Scotland’

thanks smh, I’m proud to be a Scot.
