Quiet Thursday beers

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Pot-belly, the finest pub that Canberra has to offer, especially when just Lyle, myself and some dude playing guitar on stage are the only people inside it. Things started going downhill around the 5th or 6th beer, when we began screaming the lyrics to “Am I not pretty enough?” by Kasey Chambers over the top of the dude trying to sing… He couldn’t even play Better Man, I mean, whats a man have to do to hear some Better Man?

The tradition of better man started in the Pheonix bar, where we yelled “PLAY BETTER MAN” at the end of every song the band was playing, and when they DID play it… “Booooo”. Since that night, every live band I see gets a heckling.

Down to business, the quiet 3 beers planned had rolled into 10 quite quickly, the bar was empty except for lyle and myself, yelling at this singer, calling his mum names etc, better head off to play some pool in the city.

We rock up to Toast, and after some negotiating, get inside on a discount cover charge, and head to the pool tables. Lyle has decided that he needs to go to the bathroom, and comes back 10 minutes later wiping his mouth… Suspicious to say the least… Either he has thrown up, or just had “a good time”, I offer him some of the cheese flavoured chips I had bought, he grabs one, puts it in his mouth, then… 3, 2, 1, sprints back to the bathroom.

During this entire time, we had been playing a game of pool, and inbetween his fall from grace, he had somehow beaten me. Some girl with hair that looked like a cooked casserol moved closer to the table, and we decided to leave to get some food.

In conclusion, today I have a headache, Lyle is on MSN typing about his shakey hands, and my clothes smell like a chicken cooked in an ashtray.

Looking forward to the weekend!

OK, I’m THAT emo

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

So emo it hurts, so i’ve decided to make my website into a blog of sorts… All i need is some black hair dye and a guitar :P The basic theory behind it tho is to just post crap from when I’m overseas.

As most of my friends already know, September 23 I’ll be jetting off to Thailand to do an induction course, and then get posted overseas for around 3 years, doing what I do best… Which is something, but hey, I’m getting paid a good amount of money, to make websites in foreign countries! Who could complain?!

In the coming weeks, I’ll go and get myself a camera phone, and (hopefully not losing it) will take some photos and videos and post them on here.

The old website is still available, if you want to see my “ye olde” portfolio, but it’s like… 3 years old, never updated, so… yeah :P don’t give me crap about it!
