Time to Get This Dirty Teenage Secret Out in the Open

It’s time to confess something which I’ve repressed since puberty. A deep, dark secret that only a handful of friends are aware of. Y’see, as a teenager, I made that eventual transition from loving cheesy top 40 music to angry, alternative music… just like any angsty pubescent kid does. In my case, I began a [...]

If you’d told me last week that I’d be trapped in public wearing only a pair of Bonds jocks, I’d have laughed hysterically in your face… but that’s exactly what happened to me on Sunday. Yep, it sounds like the stuff of teen movies, but turns out it’s an actual possible event in real life [...]

“Hmm, apparently we have to drive… directly through this football oval,” Adam murmured, squinting and stabbing at his iPhone screen. We’d trundled to the outer suburbs of Melbourne to inspect a motorbike Adam was interested in. In order to navigate to the owner’s home, we were relying solely on the Google Maps directions on Adam’s [...]

Greetings! It’s been a little while, eh? There’s been a few unfortunate events going on in the past few months, necessitating my absence from these bloggy parts of the world. Today’s the last day of 2009, so it seems pertinent to briefly review what’s ended up being a pretty testing conclusion to the year. Warning: [...]

Stretched to Death

November 6, 2009

Imagine a German Shepherd being injected with speed, then playing catch. That’s more or less my finesse on a treadmill. Seeing as my daily treadmill flail tends to attract the attention of everyone at the gym, I was suspicious when I noticed a lone fellow in the corner not paying any attention. As I alighted [...]

Why Aren’t You Wearing a Shirt?

October 19, 2009

There’s been an awful lot going on at our place, hence my blog-absence over the past couple of weeks. We now have a housemate living with us, which is actually pretty awesome, although our place has turned into a bit of a frat house. Since Ken moved in, we now have under one roof: two [...]

Fact: I Own the Shiniest Pants in the Universe

September 21, 2009

Wearing pants is important in society, apparently. However, I find clothes shopping so unbearably tedious, it makes me want to gnaw off my own arm. After extravagantly splitting my pants in public, though, I’ve learnt it’s a sensible move to buy new work pants a little more often. Whenever the major department stores hold a [...]

I’m a Pants Man

December 29, 2008

After taking a week off work for Christmas, I had an odd experience travelling to work today. You see, I couldn’t quite work out why I was getting such odd looks on the tram. A really odd mix of disturbed and amused looks. I shrugged it off, I look odd at the best of times. [...]

When Transhumanism Attacks

December 3, 2008

There’s a reason I like my new gym: it’s a roidmuncher haven. Let’s be honest: if you’re working out, you may as well have something nice to look at. While I’ve been to other gyms in the past, they were all much too broad a representation of the community. No, what I have is a [...]

Making it to Third Bass

October 18, 2008

After a lifetime of household members unexpectedly entering a room to find me thrashing around and jumping off furniture, in what usually began as air guitar but always progressed to some sort of impression of the onset of an airborne orgasm; I decided to learn bass guitar for real this year. My selection criteria for [...]
