Lionel Ritchie – All Night Long

March 23rd, 2005

In respect to (one of) the men who giddied it up all the fucking time…

Lionel Ritchie – All Night Long

Well my friends the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on …
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We’re going to Parti’, Karamu’, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We’re going to Parti’, Karamu’, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), Ooh yeah (all night)

People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on …
Feel it in your heart and feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We’re going to Parti’, Liming, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We’re going to Parti’, Liming, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song

All night long (all night), Ooh (all night)
All night long (all night), Yeaz (all night)
All night long (all night), Yeah (all night)
All night long (all night), … (all night)

Yeah, once you get started you can’t sit down
Come join the fun, it’s a merry-go-round
Everyone’s dancing their troubles away
Come join our party, SEE HOW WE PLAY!

(Chant)

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), Woah…

Let the music play (all night)
ALL NIGHT LONG (all night)
(All night to Fade)

Good to go!

[Khabi] Night. Don’t let the bed bug bite.
[Groverton] Bed bug?
[Khabi] Yeah, there’s just one, but he’s FUCKING HUGE!

[MacMantis] oh christ. a friend of mine just got another of his mothers world breaking text messages.
[MacMantis] ‘GDAD DIED 5AM -MUMX’
[MacMantis] I honestly do wonder what is wrong with the woman.

UltimateGuidoAnchovy: Livejournal recently realized that it could save bandwidth by eliminating all mood emoticons but “angsty”.

anotlwonk: I have a whole bunch of web designs and no one to give them to
crazyc0der: i smell an emo song brewing

The Great Ookami: you mad with me pup?
Kyouto Hasuki: i dont think so
Kyouto Hasuki: lemme check my log

[Kira] Tuesday was Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address. As Air America Radio pointed out, it is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication and the other involves a groundhog.

[Stryyp] im never stopping for small animals crossing the road again
[Stryyp] i hit on the brakes and almost wrecked.
[Stryyp] the little bastard sits there and stares at me for a minute, then continues to cross the road
[Stryyp] and out of nowhere a truck comes from the other direction and pancakes the sucker

[Insomniak] ow owow
[Insomniak] ow
[Insomniak] i hit myself in the nuts playing air guitar
[Insomniak] again
[nxn] darwin is hard at work

[Korras] friendship among women: one doesn’t come home one night, and tells her bf that she spent the night with a female friend of hers. bf calls 10 of her friends, and none know a thing.
[Korras] friendship amongst men: same thing happens. man says he spent the night at a friends place. gf calls 10 of his friends. 8 confirm he has been there, and the two others say he’s still there.

[Ashpool] I have offically reached full bachelorhood. Use a plate…then chuck it out.
[SirPNut] sif need plate.. eat it straight from the frypan
[@Agg] plate? pfft, amateur. when you eat directly off the table, magazines, chairs, etc..
[SirPNut] then throw the frypan out
[@aftahours] cook everything in the one pot, drain the pot then eat outta the pot :) tastes better that way
[@Agg] or with my cooking, pour the food out of the pot and eat the pot, it’s more tasty

[Sefy] Dude, if the FBI ever came to my door
[Sefy] Im just gonna put in my other harddrive and boot in ME
[Sefy] Just so i look like a complete retard

I Need A New Home

March 21st, 2005

See the thing with procastinating on many events means that you miss out on opportunities but ultimately you can move on and still live happily every after.

However, when one is presented with procrastinating over where they’re going to live, things become a little more “interesting” shall we say.

I have to move out in 72 hours and I haven’t really taken the time to find a new place. Secondary to this is that my ‘temporary storage’ location may not be available anymore so I could find myself in some hot water over the next few days.

Professionally things are just going ballistic atm. People are resigning from our company left, right and centre and it’s making a lot of people quite uncomfortable about what’s going to happen in the future. From my perspective you just have to keep on keeping on until you know something firm, but it’s always nice to be telling your staff what is going on as well.

Never the less I had a big, big weekend. Drinking each night (different crowds, different goals). Took Eve and Rach out for numerous drinks (plus my g/f who won’t be named!) and a hefty bar tab for all involved.

It was during this evening that I found out more intimate details about my g/f than I would had I been dating her another six months. This (of course) makes me happy. Go out with girls, get them drunk and you learn the most amazing things.

So guys, if you want to know the answers to the eternal questions about what girls think about oral, swallowing, anal, the sex-on-first-date-rule, sex-on-second-date rule and the ‘bullshit’ that’s being perpetuated about the ’10-date-rule’ in cosmo of late, feel free to send me an e-mail.

Other than that i’m incredibly tired, semi-drunk, still hungover, tired from cleaning and typing incoherently.

Have a good night.
Adam

p.s – Head to the gallery i’ve just uploaded a truckload more photos (ie more than 100). Let’s see how my bandwith holds up.

Meeting Online

March 15th, 2005

This time a girl walks up to Eve and myself randomly saying ‘Completely random question, are you Eve?’.

To which Eve responds, “yes, yes I am”.

Go here, meet Stella. Say I said hi even though she doesn’t realise that I get talked about in Eve’s blog and she therefore didn’t realise she was meeting two bloggers at the same time.

Unbelievable.

Adam

p.s – that is possibly the worst post i’ve ever written .. though it’s still cool :)

Back again

March 12th, 2005

I’m like the real slim shady :)

Well a few things to stir the pot from the past couple of weeks:

- I’m moving.. again… 4 times in 11 months is starting to get ridiculous, though the offer i’m taking up really is too good to refuse;
- I’ve *finally* added some photos (about 25) to the photo gallery. Click on the link above to get to them;
- I’ve finally decided to add another post :)
- I’ve updated to the latest version of WordPress due to the inordinate amount of SPAM i’ve been receiving, so if your comment gets dropped, e-mail me (see the contacts page for details) and i’ll let yours through;
- I’m still searching, still stumbling and still trying to keep my head above water atm;
- I’ve cut back a huge amount on the drinking, debauchery and general behaviour which is bound to get me into trouble;
- I’ve ceased-and-desisted talking to a few people (my ex included) for various reasons. Seems that some things you just have to leave permanently, there’s no use letting them rule your life;
- It’s good to be relaxing in the afternoon, typing away on my website. It’s not often these days that I get a chance to do nothing;
- The podcasting thing started then came to a crashing halt. Timetables being the most difficult objective to overcome (I should have known, I barely update the beast anymore, and this is the story of my life supposedly!);
- I’ve cancelled the web hosting I paid for (just this morning), but have enough space with my own provider to dip my toes into the water and see how things go. If they go well, i’ll get more space, if not, i’ll shut it down and say that I gave it a try;

*pause* while I update some more photos on Coppermine
—–

I’m back again. Just about to start uploading another 5 pics….

See the problem with uploading to the photo gallery is three-fold.

- You have to re-size every image (i’m not uploading 4.2MB file for any of you!)
- You can then only upload 5 images at a time
- You have to label, categorise, album-select and generally write war-and-peace on every image that you place into the system.

Real time works out at about 20 mins for every 5 photos. So as much as I know everyone wants me to upload, upload, upload!, just give me two seconds to get my shit together before you assume that i’m neglecting this thing.

….. well….. maybe I *am* neglecting this thing, but you get the picture :)

—–

I’m up to image 225 and you get to keep me around until image 266, then i’m off for a walk, over for some company/movies/alcohol, then i’m back for sleep and cleanup tomorrow.

Because folks, as you know, i’m moving house….

*again*…..

Fuck moving house!
Fuck having to spend money!
Fuck going out tonight and watching videos!
Fuck work!
Fuck Blogging!
Fuck Spam!

Fuck fuck fuck!

(ed: I have absolutely no idea where that came from… Look at it as a ‘Wayne’s World’ moment.. if you’re old enough to know about Wayne’s World…..)

In other news i’ve also been a slack friend, slack son and slack employee (actually that’s not true, i’ve been kicking ass lately, i’ve got my *groove* back on!)….. But enough of that..

Went on holidays last week. Up to the beautiful Gold Coast for a week of relaxing, g/f spending, clothes shopping, alcohol dispensing, downtown partying, serious-catching-up-on-sleeping, book-reading and job-contemplating. I think after 2 years in the role and having never really had the chance to get away on a break, I was looking forward to doing *nothing* for a few days.

Nothing is exactly the opposite of what I did most of the time….. But hey, you gotta go with what you’ve got some of these days :)

—-

You know what I love about this blog? The fact that the title says ‘incoherently rambling’ and that’s exactly what I can do. I enjoy the fact that people read this thing and catchup (actually i’m downright suprised at the amount of people who keep coming back to this thing, most of you are return visitors!), though in reality I do it all for me. I take this journey and these incremental steps in my world so that one day I can look back and realise what a complete tool I was and how at the age of 27, I *still* hadn’t come close to getting my shit together.

And I suppose that’s the reality of it for the Generation-Y’s, we just don’t have any fucking clue about most of it.

Demographic check.

Mother @ 27. = 2 Businesses (successful), 2 kids, married (for the 2nd time), owns own home and 2 cars
Adam @ 27. = No Business (successful or otherwise), no kids, *not* married, doesn’t own own bed to sleep in at night (i’m serious, I sold it to my younger brother when I moved to Sydney).

How scary is this folks. Does this make me a failure or does it just make me disjointed from the world and trying to find that balance between commercial-consumer-driven-life and honey-i’m-home-where’s-sparky, the existence?

I know of one person under the age of 30 who’s married. I know many over 30 who aren’t even considering getting married. Most of my friends down here average a salary greater than the GDP of some small nations (I however, have not joined this trend!) and most of the girls I know can drink a schooner of beer and eat a bowl of wedges faster than I can…..

I’m thinking that i’m seriously starting to get off the rails here folks. No wonder I have issues with understanding the purpose of my life, I can’t even suck down a cheeseburger without being done in!

—-

Things with the girl are going really well and i’ve finally settled down and started to focus seriously on my relationship with her. I have to admit that the last 3-4 months have been hardcore. While i’ve certainly fostered a commitment to the relationship, i’ve been partying pretty hard and generally tried to avoid the reality that I really like this girl and that she deserves of me a 100% commitment to what we’re getting ourselves into.

Not that i’ve done anything unbecoming, just that i’ve gone and had fun with the boys, been a boy and now I don’t want to be a boy so much anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a boy and I love playing up, I just don’t want to play up so much anymore. I like spending time with her and she doesn’t hassle, cajole or otherwise judge me for the mistakes i’ve made of the times when I haven’t been perfect.

What i’ve found on the flipside of that is that she’s shown me that she’s not always perfect, doesn’t always have the answer.

I’m finally starting to see that this could be a really good thing to have in my life so i’m going to hold onto her tightly and make sure that I keep her close.

And that folks, is all I really have to say about the girl….. Because, well, i’m actually starting to realise that you take these things one day at a time, you live, you learn and you (eventually) start to love. We’re getting there on all fronts and i’ll come back to you when i’ve got something more definitive to say on any of them :)

—-

*more photos*

—-

Back.. again.

*sigh* .. only up to image 238.. of 265 (i’ve decide to drop the last picture, work colleague, don’t want to mix with personal website).

—-

(After another departure)

Well i’m off. I hope this mean I can say that i’ve actually updated in the past couple of weeks. I’m hoping to get something up again tomorrow…..

honest..

:)

Loving all your work
Adam
