This is for everyone who has gone back through my archives and then gone off at me for finding something they didn't like.

This is my site and i write what i want. If you don't want to hear my inner thoughts then don't read it and for gods sake don't go trawling back through the bloody archives to find shit i wrote ages ago and then get offended at THAT!

Sylvs i have already apologised to you for what i said. Im not giving you any more than that, accept my apology or don't, that is up to you, i have said what i have to say.

Everyone i make this plain right now. This sight is my thoughts and opinions at the time of writing. I warn you now, don't go reading through it if you know me personally because you probably won't like some of the things you read. If you do then that is your fault and i take no responsibility.

I know what you are all thinking. This is a publicly viewable page and all that but to be honest, i don't care. This page is so obscure that only people who are really searching for it, ie people i know well, or random people who i have not nor will ever meet, will ever find it. Therefore it is as good as private and i don't care if you disagree with me. You have already been warned about this being my thoughts.

I know this site has gotten me in trouble but i will not shut it down. I am sick of the shit i have gotten over entries written here so here is my denial of responsibility. You have all now been warned.

So back home from uni on mid semester break. Most of the boys are back as well so we decide to have a little get togther. Mate of mine has a few uni mates staying at his place as well and his parents were away and he has a hot tub so we decided to all go out to his place.

I've only been to his place a couple of times and i couldn't really remember how to get there so i decided to follow one of my other mates out there who knew the way.
They called up at my place at 10 and my bro and i followed them out to Owens place. Stopped at the bottle-o on the way and saw an old work mate as well which was a bonus.

Anyway, it started pissing down rain on the way out to Owens place and it did not stop untill 5am. However thats getting ahead.

So after missing a couple of turn offs, dozer i thought you knew the way!?, we finally get to owens place at about 11 i guess, maybe a bit earlier.

Its still pissing down rain so we ran out the back of owens place and find owen, swoop, kebab, this other dude who's name i can't remember but was a friend of kebab's and kebab's missus all in the hot tub. My brother and i had forgotten about Owens hot tub and no one had informed us that it was going to be a hot tub event so i and my brother were without bathers.
Annoyed at this we never the less set to drinking the bottle of beam we had bought with gusto. Joycey got changed and hoped in the hot tub but dozer elected to stay out for the time being.
Luckily the hot tub had a kind of pergola thing over it so we could sit around it and not get totally saturated. It was bloody cold, wind and rain, it was freezing.

Potter, kerryn and Angie rocked up about half an hour later. Potter had brought bathers but kerryn and angie hadn't as they had intended to go out in hamilton that night rather than driving 45 minutes in the other direction, lol!

About this time kebab's missus started puking her guts up and quickly retired to the bathroom and we didn't see her again untill the next morning. Apparently she passed out on the bathroom floor making love to the toilet bowl and kebab put her to bed later before our night wound down.

Anyway, i got jack of the cold and getting rained on because the wind was blowing rain in the sides of the pergola and got owen to find me a pair of his younger brothers shorts so i could join them in the hot tub. Angie thought that was a good idea and got owen to get her a pair too. Potter gave his shorts to kerryn and wore his undies and my brother, toby, wore his boxers.

About this time kebab and his friend decided to call it quits and head inside as they had been in there since early arvo so well over 6 hours by this time.
The rest of us jumped in the hot tub so it was myself, toby, dozer, potter, kerryn, angie, owen, joycey and swoop all in the hot tub. We sat around drinking, talking shit and being stupid for an hour or so when swoop called it quits.
Joycey drank some of my drink and called me a bitch for not mixing strong enough. I couldn't have him call me out and not step up to the challenge to i uped it to mixing half and half and there went about half the bottle of bourbon. I was suprised by how much i drank in the end. I drank well over half my brother and i's bottle of beam, some of angies wine and those gay arse pulse things that kerryn had.

Oh some things i forgot to mention. At one point we dared swoop to jump out and hop in the fish pond. Bear in mind that the water in the hot tub was about 40 degrees while the air temp outside was about 6 degrees and the water in the fish pond would probably have been close to 3 or 4 degrees. So that is quite a temprature difference. I have to give him respect for actually doing it. Fuck did he cry like a girl though about it. Screaming about how cold it was. Bloody funny to watch though.

And when potter took his shorts off to give to kerryn joycey decided to take his shorts off as well. Little did any of us know that that he had no underwear on under those shorts. Then he stands up and we are all given an eyefull of joyce, in the raw. Let me tell you it wasn't pretty and i wasn't impressed, lol. Dozer was though joycey! hahaha
After much swearing and cries of "my eyes!!!" we made joycey put his shorts back on. Every party we go to that kid gets naked i swear. I remember when i first got my camera, the first thing he did with it was grab it off me and take a picture of his dick with it.

So anyway, we hit 3am and joycey starts feeling a little ill. 5 minutes later and he is puking his guts up over the side of the hot tub, niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. My drunken self at this point decided it would be highly hilarious to hump joyceys arse while he was spewing. Bright idea! So i jumped up, grabbed joycey by the waste while he is munting, and procede to hump him hell for leather. If'd you'd been there you would have laughed. Joycey didn't take too kindly to this and so swung round and threw a punch at me. My drunken self couldn't take that so i threw one back and we got into a fairly full on brawl in the middle of the hot tub. Was broken up pretty quickly by the other guys but it was pretty funny. Neither of us was hurt in the exchange and looking back it was pretty stupid but we were best friends again 30 seconds later, don't you love alcohol?

The girls called it quits at 3:30am so us boys kept it going and spent the next half hour sitting in the tub singing pub rock songs like Summer of '69, Khe Sahn and pretty much anything by AC/DC, Kiss or Meatloaf.
4:00am decided it was probably time to call it quits in the hot toby and so headed inside and the shower. Now do you think we lined up nice and orderly and took it in turns to use the shower? Of course not. Potter jumped in the shower, joycey decided he couldn't be fucked waiting and so jumps in after him. Dozer follows joycey and i decide hey, might as well jump on the bandwagon too and jump in after them.
So there we were, 4 guys squezzed into a shower cubicle designed for one person. We were pretty much rubbing balls here, at the time it didn't seem that gay but looking back, it was very gay.
Thing was, because we were so cramped joycey kept hittin the cold water tap with his elbow and turning it off so the water would go from warm to burning hot. With so many of us in there we couldn't move so it was like go the shower, "Ahhh fucking hot!!"
Potter and i devised a system where he would turn the taps and i would decide if the water was the right temprature or not since i was sort of in the middle.
I wish i had a record of that conversation because everyone in the kitchen could hear us including kerryn who is potters girlfriend and it was just funny as. They were sitting their pissing themselves while we were trying to get the shower working. Not once did it ever cross our minds to just get out and go one at a time, that would have been too smart.
By the way, we all had our bathers on, this wasn't a nudey fest here ok, just gotta make that clear.

So after the shower i walked into the kitchen and cos im all wet promtly go arse up on the floor. I mean full on, legs just disappeared, smack your head on the floor arse up. It bloody hurt and i cut my foot on a chair or cupboard or something on the way down. Still hurts now, nice gash along my foot. Didn't really notice it at the time though.

Crawled into my swag after that, talked a bit more shit with everyone and then went to sleep. That is pretty much it except bloody dozer snores like a fucking train some times. And kerryn and potter need to speak softer when they are together, we don't want to hear them making out! At least they didn't grope each other too much in the hot tub.

New Photos added. Couple of functions at uni and also a mates Vet Ball in Wagga Wagga.

Well uni results are in and i must say i am stoked!

I got a High Distinction for Electrical Systems, a Distinction for Computer Programming, a credit for Mathematics in Engineering and a credit for Physics in Engineering.

To be honest i am suprised i even pass Physics. I thought that was a fail for sure because i hated it and didn't do well at it throughout the year but then no one else did either so i guess standardised marking is my friend.

I am really pumped about my High Distinction for electrical though. I put a lot of work into that unit and im glad it paid off. I would have liked an HD for programming as well but i think the multi choice and short answer questions must have put paid to that. Still im happy with a distinction.


In other news i have been working all holidays as a landscaper which is just a glorified name for digging holes and getting dirty. Still it pays well and while its boring its usually not to back breaking, unless we're shovling gravel which is a bitch.

Apart from that i've been out quite a bit with my mates which has been great, seeing them all again. Going to visit as many as i can during the coming semester.

Uni goes back on monday so i have one more weekend of drinking with the boys before its back to the big smoke and classes and re-o-week.

Alright so i haven't updated this place in ages, im sorry!! But i do have the excuse that i have had exams on so its not entirely due to my laziness.

Well my exams are over and i didn't do as well as i would have liked. Did well on my two best units i reckon but i fucked up my Maths exams because i felt underprepared and then panicked half way through the exam when i came across a problem that had me foxed. Then physics wasn't great either but then that was never going to be because it is the worst organised unit i have ever seen and the lecturers are shit and everything about it just sucks. However its not a core unit so if i fail who cares? Just means i have to do an extra 1st year unit somewhere down the track and it can be whatever i want so i'd probably do something easy like Java since i can already program in C.

So after my last exam i stopped by the bottle-o and picked up a bottle of Beam and then got seriously drunk with my brother and a mate. Walked through the maccas drive through on foot and they wouldn't serve us cos they suck so we drove through drunk instead and paid out the duty manager.
I also am the new owner of a fluro orange witches hat courtesy of that night as well. though i did lose one of my stolen pot glasses to droppage.

Went shopping on thursday and took advantage of the stock take sales. Picked myself up a jacket, shirt and two pairs of jeans for $200 which wasn't bad at all. Got the jacket for $85 marked down from $150 which was awesome. There was this awesome jacket there that was $200 marked down to $150 but i just couldn't afford to spend $150 on a jacket. Still the jacket i got is nice.

Went to a mates place after that and then went into the city that night and met up with my brother and another mate from highschool and went out with them and a bunch of their uni mates. It was an ok night but i didn't have a big one because i am drinking tonight at a going away party and tomorrow night at a friends 20th so i didn't want to have 4 big nights all in a row.
The city was actually pretty dead for a thursday night too which was a disappoint but i wasn't bothered too much.

Back at halls now for a friends going away party, he is an american exchange student, and then like i said got a friends 20th party saturday night and then i'll take sunday and monday easy and head back home on tuesday with my mum. So all planned out.

Later.

Well here we are, almost at the end of my first semester of uni, i can hardly believe it. It has gone so fast and the greatest hurdle is still yet to come. Good ole exams :(

Still not going to dwell on those so i will jsut fill you in on what has been happening in the last week or so.
Well on last thursday we had the Farrer cocktail night. Basicly its everyone getting dressed up and then going and getting hammered on cocktails and then heading to the pub for even more.
What made it better was that a mate of mine Tom, aka Nemol, was down from Broken Hill. I hadn't seen him since december 2004 so it was great to catch up as he is a top bloke.
Nemol, my brother, jimmy and myself got a few bottles of bourboun and procedded to get nice and drunk before the cocktail night even started with london and mat joining in. Party in my room, even after Jess came and yelled at us about the noise :D But whats a party without pissing the neibhours off?
I have posted up the photos of the night. It was great fun and made even more awesome by seeing Tom for the first time in ages.

On friday i drove Jimmy's car to his girlfriends place to pick him up from there as he had spent the night there. Toby and Nemol came along too. Then we all drove to Jimmys place, dropped off our bags and went to the movies. What made this trip memorable is the fact that i drove for the first ever time in melbourne friday evening peak hour traffic. Now peak hour traffic is bad but on a friday it is horrendous. However we made it without dying despite a couple of near misses mostly due to my unfamiliarity with the car and jimmy's shit directions.

That night we went to the moives and saw 'The Ringer'. It was an ok film but way too feel good and politicly correct. Still it was good for a diversion and there was one good line. "When the FUCK did we get icecream!?" Watch the movie and you'll understand.

Saturday Jimmy went sailing so Toby, Nemol and i went into the city for the day and bummed around. Went to crown for a while and played in the galactic arena place there. Its this arcade that has tonnes of games like Time crisis 3, buck hunter, virtuacop etc. You know those japanese games they have in pubs and things?

Anyway, after we got back we had tea, got changed and headed out on the town. Started at a couple of the local pubs first before catching a train into the city and meeting up with a couple more mates and going bowling in crown. In our first game we weren't too bad but then the booze started to kick and our second game was terrible, was bloody funny though.

That night i also got word from my friend that she had broken up with her boyfriend of 10 months. So sunday after saying goodbye to nemol i caught a tram out to her place and spent a few hours with her. She was taking the whole thing very well which i was suprised at. Still it was good to see her bearing up well.

Sunday night i had dinner at my uncles place with my mum, brother and cousins. Was the first time i had seen my cousins in two years and the dinner reminded me why that is the case, we have zero in common. They don't even look like my side of the family having taken most of their looks from their mum.
Still it was good seeing my youngest cousin who i have always liked.

And that was my weekend presented in my usual rambaling style. Feel free to bitch about it if you want, if i get enough complaints i might actually try and change it but then again maybe not. :D

Have a good one all,
Rory

Well the Korn concert was awesome! I really enjoyed it and it was great to catch up with some friends in the process.
The support band 10 years was actually quite good which no one was expecting but it was a plesant suprise. Hatebreed was what you'd expect and im not a fan of them. Disturbed was awesome, it was just a shame they were the headline act so didn't have their own set. I really want to see them in a headline show now because they rocked! I had the oppertunity to see them in england and i am disappointed now that i didn't go.

The only bad thing about disturbed act was that the vocal sound cut out right at the start of Deify and so we missed a really good song. Still had the music though so the audience sang along which was cool. Still it was annoying having the sound cut out for almost an entire song and once the song was over and we applauded disturbed a lot of the crowd booed. Then they shut the stage lights off so they could fix the problem and all these people got out their lighters and held them up like some candlelight vigil thing, it was hilarious.

Korns set was really different to the set they played when i saw them on their Greatest Hits tour in England. I liked it though because i thought it reflected the style of their new album which i really like. There was a bit too much of a gap between songs though. If they had scrapped that they could have played another song i reckon. Still they did play a lot of good songs from all their albums. I would have liked more from their new album though as they didn't play one of my favourites from it but you can't have everything.

Thursday night Jimmy and Irvy came over and went to the pub because it was Toby's hall's one dollar pot night. So we all went out and got hammered. My god did toby get hammered, it was hilarious. I have never seen him so drunk, it was good. Usually he is a such a rigidly in control drinker which makes him boring so it was good for him to have a change. Was a good night.

Friday night Jimmy came over with his girlfriend and toby and we all went to the drive-in cinema in Coburg. I had never been to a drive-in cinema before and i didn't even know they actually still existed but it was pretty cool.
We saw Mission Impossible 3 and it was actually a really good film. We all really liked it and thought it was easily the best of the 3 films. Lots of plot twists and lots of action. Definetly one to buy on DVD for repeated viewing.

Saturday i did homework for most of the day as i have tonnes to do and i have to do more today. It's just that time of semester before exams where all the shit hits the fan and you have to get it done.
Apart from that though my friend Robert came over and he, Toby and I went to Jacquis place to see her because we haven't seen her in months. It was good to see her, just annoying that she is too lazy to keep in contact with us, but then she has always been like that.
Still she was well and hilarious as always so it was fun seeing her.

Today i need to do more homework and study because i have a test, two assignments, prac prelim questions and tutorial questions all due this week. Sucks that we were only given them last week

Later all.

Well today i have some bad news.  Amy and I are no longer together.
She dumped me thursday night. She said "I know that i will never be truely happy with someone so far away."
It's fair enough, i can understand where she is coming from and i always knew she had trouble with us being so far apart during term and only seeing each other on the weekends. We are still friends though, i don't hate her or anything and to be honest i knew it would happen eventually, just didn't think it would be this soon.

Though maybe its better that it happened now before we got really really attached to each other. If it had happened after like a year or something i think it would hurt a lot worse than it does now and it hurts enough now as it is.

So i am back to being single which sucks. I hate being single. Still at least i will have my weekends more free now and will be able to go and see my friends at their unis like i always planned too.

In other news i passed all my mid-semester tests which is great and hopefully means i will pass all my exams too.
I didn't get any work done during the holidays so i spent the first half of this week slaving away at homework like mad getting all my assignments that were due in done.
All done now though and i am having dinner with my mum, brother and uncle tonight and then tomorrow night i am going to see Korn, Disturbed and Hatebreed in concert!

It's going to be great! I can't wait! I hope its a good show. I really want to see disturbed because i have heard they are really good in concert. Not such a fan of hatebreed but i will put up with them.

Nothing else to report. Cya round.

Yes, yes i know i have been very lax recently. I have no excuses, i just haven't done it. I have a resolution now to update my space at least once a week, hopefully i will be able to stick to that.

Anyway, in recent news its the last week of term for uni and i have a one week break over easter, yay!
So i am going home on thursday night whith loz, spending a couple of days at home and then spending most of the holidays at amys house.

Because its last week of term all the nice mid semester tests have kicked in. I had a physics one last thursday which i think i screwed up big time but then the whole unit is just shit and i have no motivation for it, i learnt a terms physics in 3 days so what do i expect really?
Had an electrical test today which i did well on. Got 2/3 fo the marks, well i think, which i am happy with. Would have liked to have gotten the last question but it was about an obscure little paragraph, i hate that kind of thing.

Tomorrow i have a programming test which im not really sure about. I have never done a test about this kind of thing before so im not sure what it is going to be like. Especially when all we got told was "it will be on lectures 1 to 15." Wow, real helpful.

In other news, last thursday night i got punched in the face, twice!, but a 6 foot cranky wog. Outcome is me going down like a sack of shit on the concrete with a broken nose and a chipped tooth, plus the skun elbows and bang to the head i sustained while hitting the concrete so uncerimoniously.

Was so fucked. Me and my mate Jimmy were just walking between bars in this pub when we passed this bloke and this girl. I was fairly drunk and being the happy friendly drunk i am i waved at them and said hi. To which the bloke comes up to me, shoves me and tells me to stay the fuck away.
So i'm like "woah, calm down mate, ok." But despite that he hits me anyway, a left to the nose and a right to the side of the jaw.
Thankfully my mate jimmy is 6'3" and gave this guy the hiding he deserved. He went down pretty hard though, he was a big bloke himself.

I was fairly lucky as far as getting punched in the face goes because while normally when someone breaks their nose they hit the front of it so it gets squashed onto their face. I on the other had turned my head or something but i got hit in the side of the nose so instead of being flattened on my face it was skewed to the side in a fairly even break.

After the bouncers rocked one of them and jimmy carried me into this room where the bouncer put my nost back into place. Personally i think that hurt more than the initial break.
Still i went to the hospital on friday morning and got a CT scan to check for more fractures which thankfully there weren't any of.

Had a constant headache for 4 days straight, even through the codine painkillers, and sore eyes and nose but its mostly gone now. The bruising still remains but thankfull its not too bad as i never really bruise much.

Anyway, thats all my recent news. Right now i am just counting down the seconds till uni ends and i can go home. 10 days without classes, i can't wait!!

cheers all.

Well its been a while since i updated here, im sorry i know i have been slack.

Uni is pretty full on though and not only with work. I really haven't been doing as much work as i should have. Most of my time gets taken up socialising.
Take tonight for instance. I was doing homework from 4-6:30 and then i cooked tea and then we had a floor meeting and then it was time for our weekly wednesday tv night. We watch spicks and specs, little britian and then the glass house. Good night for TV viewing. Then i got caught up talking to some people down on 1st floor and the next time i looked at my watch it was 11pm!!

So now i have to really knuckle down tomorrow morning before class so i can get as much done as possible as Amy is coming down for a few days and i want to have to do as little uni work as possible while she is here.

Apart from that i took amy down to the Port Fairy folk festival last saturday and we had a great time just hanging out together and she bought all this stuff that i think is totally useless and she will only wear once but she liked it so i guess thats all that matters.

That night we had a friend of ours 18th. However before that i had to take a detour with a couple of my mates in their car. Amy drove back home while i embarked on what tunred out to be a bit of an ordeal.
My two mates were very drunk which is why i was driving them so the first thing they did was insist that we go the wrong way. Upon my instance that it was the wrong way my mate who's car it was insisted that it was his car so i would drive where i told him.
After going 10k's the wrong way they acknowledged their mistake so we turned around and headed to Portland the right way.

Now i was dropping one of my mates off at his parents place in  bridgewater. What he never told us was that he hadn't been to his house there in 6 years and since he was pissed off his face his memory was even worse so we spent over half an hour trying to find his house in bridgewater which is saying something since there are only 20 houses in bridgewater in the first place!
We eventually found his house and dropped him off however we went over this bank which banged the rear of the car as it has been lowered so we couldn't reverse out.
My drunk mate who car it was got annoyed at me for that so he insisted on reversing this other way we had to go to get out.

Now this other way has a 2 metre drop very close to it. My mate backs the car very close to this drop and i have to yell at him to stop before he goes off the edge which he does just in time. However he then changed from reverse into first and because the slope was steep the car rolled back and one of the back wheels went off this drop.

So we got my other mates dad to get their SS commodore to try and pull us back onto ground but because it was all gravel and grass we had no luck, just spun the wheels and got nowhere.
We then spotted this 4WD coming down the road so we flagged him down and he was nice enough to give us a pull out. So after a few more trials we finally got the car back on solid ground.

So finally after an hour and a half we were back on the road and driving back to Hamilton so i could go to this 18th.
Upon the way however i had to stop so my mate could be violently ill. Had to stop again in hamilton so he could be so again. Finally i got back to amys house, got changed and drove to the 18th. Leaving my mate in his car to sleep it off.

So yeah, quite a few trials there. i probably told that really badly as i am pretty tired at the moment but meh.
Night.
