It's been an interesting start to the year, in the Chinese curse way. I've already been helping my Near and Dear deal with two break-and-enters, we've been victum of one hit-and-run in a car and one full accident where a P-Plater rammed up the back of me and redesigned my Utes rear end. Now today Mel's dog is in puppy hospital with a suspected broken hip from trying to jump the front fence and missing. Feck sake, who did we piss off lately?
On the bright side I now own a house and will be moving in in about a month. I'm busy packing and recruiting mates to make the move, fast, easy and for once efficient. It will probably be a shambles. Nah... I'm really determined to get this over with so as long as I can get some help lifting stuff we'll be right.
I'm working my ring off at the moment which should one day bear fruit but being a multi-national and my one-over manager having his head in the region of up his arse who knows. At least I'm giving myself a shot.
I went for a very long ride on Sunday which was more tiring than anything else. I'm a little out of form for long rides. Long straights to no-where don't help much either. Still, helping a friend sort out a ride route is just something you do so there you go. Shame is, I'll miss the improved proper ride this Sunday since I'll be packing and helping Mel with the gimp dog. I might still drop in later and watch the re-run of the MotoGP race on that weekend. Must have some biking fun that weekend.
Well, I'm bushed and out of thoughts.
Catch you later...

Boughting a House
I bought that damn house.
..
..
Holy Shit!
..
Sometimes things just go your way and now I'm a house-owner. It was a hell of a lot more fun than losing my viginity though the anxiety levels were pretty much on par. My buyer's agent did a good job though I didn't end up with the dishwasher I'm not fussed, I'll just go buy me a brand newey, oh baby! The whole thing went as I could only hope it would, no one and I do mean no one, besides me turned up to bid at the auction so it was called off and the seller's agent came up to me asking for an offer. In jumped my agent and away we went. In the end the price was good and I think I saved a few thousand dollars all up. 57 days and it is mine. Life rocks.

Buyin'a house
"This is my property mudda farker and this is my shotgun!"
It might be a little coarse and a touch rabid around the edges but I think I've hit the right note with how I want to come across at the auction this Saturday for the possible new Casa Del Jake. I'm a going biddin' folks and if you fuck with me and make the house I'm a biddin' fo too 'spensive.. well sir, I'm agunna come back in the dead of night and introduce you to Mr Bad Times and Senior Pain.
Or maybe not, but I 'spose scaring people off of bidding for this great place I found isn't technically illegal is it? Really? well, too bad. I hope it rains all day and night and people all get gastro and stay home and only me and my agent show up. So there.
The fact that it's supposed to be 30+ might not be bad, keep the weak and the infirm inside where they belong, and not at the auction for the house I want just a little badly.
It's got a new four car garage for cryin' out loud! (At this point all the men go "Ahhhhhhhh!" and the women "huh? so?", women no nothing of what men need.) Anda great area for BBQs and stuff. I could go on and on but then I'd start sounding all feminine when I went on about the great new kitchen and bathroom and the limitless hot water, so I wont. But just so I've mentioned it the cupboards in the kitchen are finished in industrial blue hammer tone paint and the bench kick boards make it look like a giant tool box.
It will be mine, oh yes it will.

I Brew, therefore I am...pissed alot.
I make Beer now. Bow down and gaze up in wonder, mortal non-brewing types! I have joined the brotherhood of the Brewers, and it is good. As we speak, or as I write as the case just happens to be, my next Beer (note the capital B, none of this mass-produced beer [lower case b] here thank you very much) is about to start its mystic journey from common water, hops, yeast and a can of Brewmaster India Pale Ale (IPA to us in the know, nod nod, wink wink) into the transendental state of Beer.
It's very much like how in Lord Of The Rings a bunch of Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, Men and an Old Guy get together to Save The World. Of course it all falls apart about half way through episode 1 whereas my coming together of disimilar elements will make Beer and not be beset by trolls and goblins and another Old Guy making mischief. Still, the correlation is a strong one as I'm sure you can see. In the end it's good Beer all round and people dance and get happy and fall over.

Busy, busy, busy
I'm looking for a house to buy, getting geared up for a three week holiday, brewing beer, drinking beer, helping Mel repave around the house and generally doing much stuff. I have lots to write about and bugger all time to do it. I hardly get on the PC these days. Oh and I bought a new printer/scanner/copier.
Today is Valentine's Day. I consider it a gratuitous wank created by Hallmark and Interflora to waste my money. Fuck you both you corporate leeches...I'll just have to suck up to Mel another way since I have no card or flowers. I'll cook dinner and add that special ingredient - love. But she'll probably prefer flowers. Fuck it.
Fuck is such a great word. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuckity Fuck, fuck.
I'm going now, time to self medicate.
Catch you later...Fuck.

I wish I took public transport.

Saucy speech on train out of line
Liam Houlihan
12jan06
MELBOURNE'S train temptress has struck again.
However police and rail officials have met to plan an end to her saucy crime spree.
The woman broke into a cabin on a peak-hour Frankston train on Tuesday night and broadcast X-rated praise of the driver to stunned commuters.
The husky-voiced intruder is believed to be the serial seductress behind a similar break-in and announcement on the Sandringham line last week.
The trespasser evaded capture by authorities on both occasions.
As her break-in broadcasts become more frequent, longer and more detailed, pressure is building for Connex to catch the profane prankster before more commuters are subject to her sexy speeches.
"There was a woman on the address system. It was very graphic about how she was going to have sex with a driver for about three minutes," said Angela, a passenger on the Frankston-bound train. "I thought she was in cahoots with the driver."
Angela said there were families on board unhappy their children were exposed to the content.
Passengers on the trains during both incidents believed the woman was in the cabin with the driver or was a voice on a 1900 sex call.
The broadcasts are now thought to be the work of a lone female hijacking the PA system in vacant train cabins. Police are scanning CCTV footage from stations to identify her.
Ticket inspectors have been briefed to be on the lookout for the woman.
"When the train comes to a stop at a station it is easy for them to slip out of the cab and merge with other passengers," said Connex spokesman Andrew Cassidy said.
Connex yesterday discussed the incidents with Transit Safety Division officers.
Connex has said some people are aware of a weakness that allows them to force their way into vacant cabins and hijack the PA. They said the flaw would be fixed this year.
I can't begin to tell you how much I wished this sort of thing went on when I was stuck taking the bloody train back in the bad old days. Train rides are after boring, smelly and occasionally dangerous affairs which need some lightening up. Of course sitting there with a hard-on has it's own problems, namely, how the hell do you track the lady down and give her your phone number without looking like a dirty perv?
If I was connex I'd hire her for the late night routes (heh, heh, double entendre!) to give the travelers a pleasing and stimulating diversion....or not, I just had images of the trench coat brigade traveling all night leaving sticky finger prints all over the place. Urrgh, yeah scratch that! Still, I hope she gets away with it and finds a nice position with a phone sex company where her skills can be properly remunerated.

Happy New Year
Happy New Years guys, I'm amazed I'm still writing. I promise to perhaps deliver more or the same, if I can be bothered, and do it in a way pleasing to me and me alone.
I went for a long ride today with people I like to spend my time with. Let's call them friends. I spent my New Year's Eve with these folks and had my first proper ride of the year with them too. That may be in some way meaningful and/or cosmic. I call it fun, it's shorter to say and easier to spell.
Firstly, we took on the man.....
Then we got lost and bewildered...
This seems to happen alot.
May your New Year deliver the goods, mine started well.
