There is only one rk

Apparently that line was one of the funniest seinfeld moments
ever.

But it reminded me of whilst walking home from soccer the other
day from dobs park. I was crossing Bartels road in the morning,
in a bit of a daze as I usually am. The cars going into the
city had cleared and I crossed the first half of the road, however
there were cars going out of the city, and I had to wait for these
cars to go by.

Meanwhile the cars going into the city had started again.
The median strip is quite wide but its only painted on the
road, which is a little less secure. I kept ambling along, thinking
about k-time twists and whether the synthetic tasting nature,
made them so good. And then I got the biggest shock of my life!

Remember Im walking along a median strip here, and I hear this
really loud bark! And jaws snapping what seemed like centimetres
from my ear!! I swear for a second I didnt know what was going on,
and luckily I didnt stumble into oncoming traffic, because as I
spun around, I saw a german shepherd with its head out of the window
and still barking in my direction. I dunno whether it slobbered on
me, but it felt so close. May be i should wear my headphones.

Im yet to try this technique, but it looks so efficient.

I got an email on tuesday, the subject heading "a s" , 
in the message was "remember this ? haha"
with a picture of the Ace of Spades attached, the very card that knocked me
out of the Monday Night at Rundle St Poker series. Whilst I laughed out
loud, and it was in fact a good start to the morning, I couldnt help wonder
whether Johnny Chan did likewise when he beat Eric Seidel in the 88
Poker World Championship. JC perhaps sent him a message like
"suck it down seidel, haha".

Whilst cuing up the music on my computer for the night, I thought to myself
if i played songs that people really like, would that lead them to betting
more aggressively and stupidly? I cued up the strokes and the the pixies
for biggs,  Dave Brubeck take 5 for myself and eye of the tiger of the horry
, but i regret not adding Johnny Cash's ring of fire for paul.

Anyway going back to Monday night 11pm, Paul had $35 after knocking
out Brad and Biggs, Horry and I had about $7.50 each and in big trouble.
Things were desperate, I went all in on the flop. No one followed. I went
all in again, this time Paul went in. I won $7.50. I went all in against Horry,
my ace and 9 ended up making a boat against his jack and 10, and he
was knocked out. Suddenly I had about $24 versus paul $26. I went all in
again, perhaps 4 times in a row is pushing my luck. I had King Queen versus
Ace 3, a statistical edge to myself. 

The flop yielded Queen three six, My pair had his pair beaten. The
10 on the turn helped no one. At this stage I was one card of pulling off
a miraculous come back, and surely Paul's last few dollars wouldnt have
lasted long. But then it fell ... The Ace ... the damn ace, and it was a fitting
conclusion to a great session of poker as eye of the tiger was playing in
the background.

Paul's bowl of coins had just  increased again, and in fact it was too heavy
and dangerous for him to carry back. And there it lies in the corner of the
room, a reminder to try and win it back.

As i continue to do a little bit more research on the law (pause) I should
remember this stuff, arent I lawyer, or a law graduate , a student of the
law.

De facto relationships?  ok so this has no relevance to me, but I know
people and they know people and, isnt the word "de-facto" such an ugly
word.

When can you say claim an interest in a property that doesn't bear your
name ??

As a result of the new laws, if you can show that you have been in a de facto relationship
 for at least 2 years, you can:

Apply to the Family Court for property and maintenance orders.
- Contributions made towards the accumulation of assets will be taken into account
compared to the previous law where for eg. if your name was not in a property, you were
unable to claim an interest in the property.

So you need to have been in a relationship for at least 2 years ! Perhaps that
explains those people whose relationships die after 2 years, perhaps its not
you its the law.

Then there is a series of factors that they look at like, do you live together,
financial dependence, sexual relations, children etc.  Anyway if this could
apply to you, run , run !

Its interesting to think what existing laws you would break , if there were
no laws. I mean you wouldnt kill people etc. but would you steal occasionally ?
Perhaps it is just breaking copyright laws. And probably drug usage would
become less underground and more open.

I find it silly that people assume because something is illegal it is necessarily
bad or worse than things which are legal ?

Giant cannabis plant found in drug houseBy Daniel BrettigJuly 22, 2004
AN early morning raid by police yesterday on a house in Findon uncovered an
elaborate cannabis growing operation, including one plant that filled a whole room (WOW!)
"The amount of harm those plants can cause the public is absolutely mammoth," he said

Is such a comment justified, I mean ok so it is an illegal plant, but how many
crimes are a result of people under the influence of dope. Shouldnt they be ceasing
trucks of alcohol, look at the number of driving and violent crimes that are caused
by alcohol. "Mammoth", seems a bit far fetched. A la the streets "I just completed Grand
Turismo on the hardest setting", wats the harm in that? :)

On Sat filmed Dayle making Kpie as practice for part of the cooking show.
Prior to that was filming in the central markets. I was told to stop filming
by security. When asked why ?  He said it was to do with terrorists and 9-11.
I said people take photos, why not film? He replied "9-11". I said digital still
cameras can take movies as well. He didnt know what to say, but managed
to mention something about "9-11". When dayle asked isn that a bit weird?
(re: the policy) He said "wasnt 9-11 weird?" 

I dont know but unless 9-11 is some procedure code in his security manual
or its an approximate range of his IQ, the whole thing didnt make a lot of
 sense. Perhaps if I can analyse the lay out and launch an attack on the
central market bakery store then I could undermine the whole of the
Adelaide economy.

I couldnt help thinking perhaps he thought I looked like a terrorist and it was a
black thing, but surely the fact I was with two blonde girls, that would cancel
it out. May be by writing this, I have been flagged on a US security database
out there.

As for the cooking show, I think it is falling by the waste side, which is a shame
because I keep realising I know more and more chefs whom I could get on
the show. I still have plenty of other projects to work on.

Got a call at 1am, to go out which is ok as a i live in town, I should be ready
to go out at any time? Rolled out of bed, put on some clothes got picked up,
by wongy and the wookie. 50 guys standing outside cargo, didnt go in there.
Went and ate at gouger. The wookie was funny, went back to my place yelled
at people below. Yelling at some guy who was running below to "keep running"
and then see his head turn around and then yell "athens is only a month away you
can make it", was priceless. Looked like some people were going to get hostile,
shut up shop, went to bed. 

I havent posted in a few days. Which means if you try and reflect on the last
few days  you will only remember the interesting stuff you did. But then if you
remember nothing, then nothing exciting happened, which is upsetting or its
all relative and even the mundane can be interesting. 

Friday went and saw a play, done by Flinders university drama students.
The girl in the  play used to catch my bus, but i hadnt seen her since school,
kind of weird, her brother was there whom i always seem to run into at strange
places, like weddings and other  events. He fell asleep before the play started,
it was very soft lighting and the music was relaxing. It was also unclear when
the play was going to start.

James came along to dinner and play, but not after an endless series of
questions, based on some silly insecurities.  I told him even Brad was coming
to dinner.

The play had a retard, which for some reason provided much entertainment
for the rest of the weekend, mimicking him and his lines. After all its bad taste
to make fun of retarded person, but if the person is actually an actor then i
think its alright. The guy who played the retard, did a much better job than
when he was playing a non-retarded person. Dayle got covered in oat meal
during one scene, guess thats whats makes a play different from cinema.

 

Do you walk into work wearing headphones ? I usually do, perhaps
its good to shut out the happenings going on around you, but I find
as much as I enjoy music, it might be  better to embrace the
surroudings and interact with the environment rather than avoid
it. Now on i will try and open my eyes and ears and absorb more
than blocking out.
