A lotta comments

Good getting comments on posts made, should really fix
the time stamp. Just this second my mind overloaded
with too many thought processes, as hard as that may sound,
had to terminate this post!

Supersize me and Fat

I guess it was sorta predictable, but funny none the less, can't
believe they showed him chucking up, yuck. He turned into a
bit of a fatty pretty quick and his liver went downhill.

Before the film tanya called outside , and i just opened the window and
answered the call, confused her , with the stereo sound. Not
many ppl in the cinema, i said you could prolly answer the phone and no
one would care, her phone rang an hour later during the film, but
didnt answer it. Documentaries are good in a way, coz you can even
talk and it doesnt really ruin the mood.

I cant believe how fat people are getting. It would be good
making a documentary how people do everything to avoid getting
any exercise. And how all the diets that are geared to changing
your eating without doing exercise. In some ways we are becoming
so lazy, its scary. Everything is do less , enjoy more
fuck the consquences.

Movie mentioned Nanonlin, or something with a similar name that
acts to block your brain receptors, which they give to heroine
addicts so they dont enjoy it so much. Supposedly the same works
with chocolate addicts. Tanya seemed keen to get a prescription of
that, im sure mitch can arrange something.

I always wondered how they got fat people to be in films,
i mean isnt it sort of degrading being cast as the fat person,
i guess they dont care, at least they're on film. Id feel bad going
up to someone saying, hey i want to cast you as the fat person.

Film said being fat was starting to be as offensive as smoking,
i mean eating junk food is also similar to an addiction. Tho
i think thats a bit unfair as there are people who genetically
get fat a lot lot easier and also have situations where they
have to take drugs for asthma which make them that way. Where
as smoking, its a conscious decision to smoke. But if you
are consciously eating junk food, then its just as bad.

Music was kinda funny to , Rock and roll mac donald, i think
was one of the songs.

Seabiscuit

the story
I wathced seabiscuit the other day, not a bad movie, but surprisingly
it was quite accurately based on the true story, and everything that
you thought that was just hollwood baloney, actually happened in real
life!

Anyway I think people in the devarani syndicate you should watch this movie
before investing in a horse. I picked up some good tips, like the
horse has to want to compete. Deva-rani seems to fail on this point.

Another stupid challenge

The subliminal brunatex pictures was a bit tough. Paul couldnt
make out any images, Nai saw Jon as a monkey (correct!) and
Dayle couldnt thought it was Biggs when it was CA, Brad thought
he saw the devil, which could have been CA.

Like the reverse bike race, you pay $2 to have a shot, and if
you can ride the 5m distance without falling over you win $50.
So ive come up with, if you think you can beat me at foosball
on my table one on one, you pay $2, and if you win I give you
$50.

RK Diet part 2

Other tips on the rk diet. Play foosball, although it doesnt
seem tiring at first, excessive celeberations after scoring
a goal can help work off those pounds. Also play against
someone a lot better than you. The threat of losing pants
down can cause your heart to race and lead to sweating. If
you do lose pants down, the lap around the table is probably
the quickest little run youll do for the day.

sometimes its worth copying

Whilst i like to think im original or capable of original ideas and
free thought, i can acknowledge that sometimes its good to
copy, especially good things that other people doing.

Dayle I definitely know sponsors a world vision child.
And as of now im now sponsoring some child in mozambique who
plays soccer. If i was wearing a hat id take it off to
dayle and others who do similar things. After all its easy and
requires little effort but makes a difference, i hope :)

Lets face it, its pretty much blind luck that i was born into
the situation that im in today. Dont really cook, dont have
to do washing, work an easy job, live in a nice big apartment,
zero problems etc, so why not give up the cost of
foxtel to help someone else?

weekend

Friday - Bruantex gig, i dont really know how well they played,
I spent most of the time talking and watching the video, but it
sounded pretty good i guess. I didnt hear songs one and two
on that cd, which are my favourite, so that was disapointing,
wondered off afterwards.

Saturday -
soccer in the afternoon, met some turkish school kid called
mehran, attempted to do tricks for an hour or so. Almost kicked
the ball into the rymill park lake.

Saw "I robot", not bad. Is there going to be a movie where
robots take over, and its all warm and fuzzy. I like the 3 rules
tho.
1. A robot can not harm a human
2. A robot must listen to a human, except where it is contradiction
to the first rule.
3. A robot must try and protect itself, except where its in
contradiction of rules one and two.

my 3 rules at work.
1. brad will do my work
2. brad can get my lunch, as long as it doesnt contradict with rule 1.
3. brad can do his work as long it doesnt contradict with rules 1 and 2.

Saturday night, watched bits of gods must be crazy 2, good movie,
how happy do those african kids look at the end. I think ill sponsor
a world vision child.

Crazy dave came over, played a lot of foosball, we set a goal
spread, if i could win 10-2 or more i would win, if he could lose
10-4 or less he would win. Eventually i came out on top, free
lunch at ctc !

Went to that party on east tce. good party. Got complimented on my tie,
which was brads tie i borrowed on friday night, really that girl
should have been complementing brad, sorry brad. Spoke to some
crazy french guy and another guy. Good banter, with a frech guy (jacque)
and some other guy at a fast pace. Talking about confusables,
a receptacle for storing ideas that confused you. Potentially avaialable
at wall mart for $10. Interesting archiectecture at that party, courtyard
and 4 bedrooms surrounding it upstairs, went into the attic, turned
on the light, some girl was trying to sleep.

Sunday - editing video and poker. Thought someone had broken in, i think
coz theres been a lot of talk about that lately, realised i didnt
care, went back to sleep.

Suitably impressed

Missi brought the dv tape around for me to edit, well actually,
she forgot the tape and then i forgot to save it
after capturing it and it was a botched editing session.
but she also brought her around fellow worker , sho shares
the same name as a politician.

Anyway all i can say i was very impressed, which is rare:
1. had a real understanding of film - especially action films, ie.
Desperado , True Lies are meant to be stupid they are not
taking themselves seriously. Knew all the actor's names, not
some vague understanding.

2. Whilst brainstorming for what they will do with their
video, came up with good ideas, very sharp, and prepared
to do things on the fly, didnt need everything scripted.

3. When missi said , he eats 8 bananas day, didnt get the
usual "thats crazy" / "ridiculous!" comment, but i eat
4 or 5 oranges today.

impressed!



Poker

Big game last night, 9 players. Much like euro 2004 with greece,
jon was the surprise winner, but also like greece much deserved.
Out foxed paul in a crucial hand to take the game. How many
unbelieveable draws can one person pull in a night, ie. chad,
inside straights, no straight draw, full house, three of a kind,
prolly should've won, but exciting.

Jon suggested a percentage of money be set aside to pay for some
sort of community scheme, ie. chips for the table or an actual
proper table. Would be good if Tanya's dad agreed to build a custom
made table, glass top, underneath railing system to mount the camera
on, possible remote control car, system as well to move camera
around. Could we do this ourselves ?

Positive

In a world where its easy to be negative about lots of things,
your friends, your life, everything in general its just as
easy to be positive about the same things. Its weird everything
is just as good as it is bad. Half full vs half empty.

So focusing on good stuff this week, would like to complete
the film "toilet". It sounds a bit shit, hahah, ok, but it could
be interesting. Person stuck in toilet for 3 days, no concept of
time of day, one source of water the toilet, thats the general
gist. Any good suggestiosn please post.
