Long time no post

February 17th, 2004

Ok, so I haven’t posted in a while and have no valid excuse. I’m slack get over it.

Well I could probably come up with something to attempt to explain why I haven’t posted in God knows how long.

Been working heaps, not as much as Adam, but then not many people work as much as him. I actually work to live not live to work, he is yet to grasp this concept I think.

If you get bored check out this link. Its pretty cool and will require sound. Its also work safe so thats always good.

[Insert witty comment here] <-- so bored I can't think of anything funny to say

So my female flatmate hasn't run out screaming and never returned. I'm actually surprised that she can put up with myself and my other flatmate. This is probably because she joins in when my other flatmate and I are giving each other shit, or just laughs at us because we are two of the funniest people on the planet, seriously, ask us :) . We usually don't give her shit though, just doesn't seem right when someone starts throwing things at you... not that we have given her shit and she started throwing things, but she seems like she might do that and you know.. better not to test the theory. Maybe if I didn't have so much throwable stuff of mine lying around I might test it, but seeing as how most of the loose, throwable and damaging items lying around the house belong to me, I wont.

So I was out shopping the other day for the hell of it.. i'm not usually a fan of shopping, sure I can walk around with a girlfriend and feign interest, but I prefer not to even start. Dan made a fucking profound statement (well probably not that profound as most guys know it to be fact anyway) that when a guy goes shopping he walks in, see’s what he wants and buys it. He doesn’t spend 2 bloody hours walking around umming and ahhing over clothes. Nothing designed for guys makes our asses look big (that special purpose is only designed for womens clothes, or so you would think if you listen to them go on about it).

I’m all posted out..

Jedi Mind trick

December 27th, 2003

This is not the blog you are looking for…

Still here? Oh well, guess I had better write something.

Its been a while since I have put anything up here. That is mainly due to the fact that I only post (99% of the time) while I’m at work. I mean, what else am I going to do? Work? /shudder

So, that means I’m here at work today. There should be a law against working on the weekend. I’m sure its in the Bible somewhere that ‘thou shalt not work on the weekend, for this is the time to consume beer’ or something to that effect. Of course this would mean that people would have to do all their shopping and stuff during the week and would be a pain in the ass for some, but it would stop me from working the weekends and isn’t that the point after all?

Work has actually been pretty good the last two days. I haven’t come close to slipping into homicidal mode. This isn’t to say that I have been peachy the whole time, just that no one has managed to push all the wrong buttons and unleash the beast within.

Adam mentioned that Dan and myself have a new flatmate. For now I will call her .. hmm.. Lara will suffice. She seems rather cool at the moment, I mean, she laughs at my dumb jokes so thats definately a plus for her already. I will give it some time before I unleash the full extent of my humor upon her. Lara may not be ready for that just yet (besides I have to gauge her reaction to some topics before I know if she will be accomodating to some of the more…. flavoursome? things I have to say sometimes). Adam, Dan and Wonton could probably all attest to the fact that I have been known to take things over the line of acceptable and into the realms of ‘dude thats seriously messed up’. So seeing as I don’t want to scare anyone away, I will keep my more outlandish coments to myself for now and leave it be.

Less than 2hrs before I get to go home now.

So I’ve now saved up enough cash to get my wisdom teeth out. I will wait slightly longer before I get it done though as I want to have enough money left over once I pay the thief.. err I mean tortuerer.. err sorry dentist to remove them for me. Dan has offered to do it for the cost of 2 bottles of tequlia (probably both for him), some needlenose pliers, hammer and a chisel. I thanked him for his generous offer, and told him that I will take him up on it if going to the dentist fails.

Seeing as time at work is winding down, I’m just going to Zone out (go watch Office Space, you’ll understand) and hopefully my brain will start functioning again just before its time to leave.

A few things

December 12th, 2003

Firstly I’ll get the personal attacks vs Adam out of the way I know he would prefer that .. heh.

No no Adam, Wonton was right, you can’t dance. Live with it.. its cool man, I don’t judge you. I will freely admit that I cannot dance to save myself. Infact, last time I tried I had people pin me to the ground and start to perform and exorcism on me as they thought me possesed. I took that as a sign and therefore will get it out in the open, I cannot dance, that way people arn’t afraid if I get drunk and start thrashing around in what my intoxicated mind might tell me is an acceptable form of dance. The less people I have throwing holy water in my face the better.. that shit burns man!!

Now I’ve been playing lots of KOTOR (if you don’t know what that is you can look it up in previous posts.. yes I could have expanded on the name in this space, but that would defeat the purpose of making you look back through previous posts.. so there). Now I don’t agree with a single fibre of my person that computer games have any real influence over people. Some people are just dicks and do crazy things and then blame shit on computer games because its an easy excuse.. I don’t want to get into a long winded debate about that statement either, I’ve said it and thats that. If you feel you have to comment I’m sure there are other outlets for such comments to be made, don’t bug me with them its hard to make me change my opinion, ask adam, he still wants me to believe he can dance. :P Anyway, back to the topic at hand. So I’ve been playing KOTOR, and I’m playing through as an evil Jedi. Each time you do a particulary evil thing you get a message saying ‘Darkside points gained’. Now, I was walking around today at work and someone was babbling shit. They then asked me a question regaurding it. The first thought that came to mind was, what answer can I give to gain darkside points? Heh, I don’t think I gained darkside points with my actions and I don’t really think that I should start earning darkside points at work, but the thought is there, in the back of my mind.. I find it more amusing that anything else.

That cat thing that Adam had further down the page was some email I sent him (sorry Mel, I meant to pass it onto you as well.. :( ) and one of my friends replied to it in a way that would gain him DSP (Darkside Points, or Dawnshroud Peaks /wink, you decide). While some of my friends found it amusing and thought that yes, he has fallen to the darkside, but I found it just a wanton act of cruelty that a being of lesser evil might perform.. I believe myself above that, I will dedicate myself to grand acts of evil. DSP gained… :P

For once (well not for once, but it felt good to start the sentance that way.. ) I’m looking forward to Adams visit (further clarification, I always look forward to seeing him again.. but like I said, it felt good to start the sentance that way). Although I know his time spent down here will involve him spending half the god damned time on the phone like he usually does.. just drop the fucking thing in the pool man and ge away from it. Or let me answer it, that way they wont call again.

I’ve got more to say but i’ll sleep on it for now…. may post them later, but I doubt that anyone cares one way or the other :)

Matt out..

bah humbug

December 5th, 2003

Did you know christmas is coming? Obviously the people in my office have figured this no brainer out as they have strung a fucking miles worth of christmas decorations all over the god damn office. You can’t walk 2 steps without almost strangling yourself on some bloody tinsle thing.. and that’s if the damned thing doesn’t get near your mouth and then make you sneeze and cough as the little bits of glitter or whatever the fuck it is tickles your nose or goes down your throat.

Anti-christmas? Not really, just anti over the top decorations mainly and having people tell me that I should be happy because its christmas. The only thing that would make me happy would be to see your bloody corpse at my feet for even mentioning my feelings towards the world in general concerning christmas. I will be a grumpy MF if I want to thank you very much.

That is all, the grinch has spoken.

And the award for over dramatising goes to…

November 30th, 2003

So I feel like shit. My superior immune system has finally lost its battle against the masses. I sit (or sat I should have said) alone on my little island in the midst of a metric ass ton of sick people. My immune system valiantly fighting against the horde of viruses that wished to infect my body. At roughly 15:36:53 Zulu yesterday the battle was lost. In the background you could almost hear someone making the call “Immune system time of death 15:36:53″.

So here I sit now, 24hrs or so later and I’m patiently awaiting the call to mark my time of death. (Bit of a drama queen aren’t I :) )

Not much has been happening in the life of Matt recently. Had 6 days off work, which was pretty good. My roster sometimes has a way of working out where I get a nice stretch of days off like that. Usually I have to make up for it afterwards by working nearly 9 days in a row, but that’s ok, as usually they involve nightshifts at some point so that makes me happy again.

So I’ve been playing me a lot of Knights of the old republic lately. Wonderful game if you ask me. I’m playing through as an evil Jedi and its quite fun. Though this may be affecting me in real life, as I find myself making the force choke motion at people that piss me off. This inturn annoyes me even further when they don’t start choking and just look at me and say ‘what the hell are you doing fool?’.. my force powers must be on the blink.

What else have I been up to.. umm.. saw S.W.A.T. the other night. Not too bad at all. Don’t have much to say about it, but I really enjoyed watching it.

Oh, how could I forget. So I have spent the last few days at work reading Megatokyo. If you like manga you might like this comic. Personally I find the majority of it to be great. If i’m not laughing my ass off I’m impatiently awaiting my brain to process what I have read so that I can click on the next comic button. It took me two days and a bit to read all 490 or so comics in the archive so that I can be up to date with what is going on. 3y3 |_0/3 i7

So now that I have shared my thoughts, I’m going to go back to patiently awaiting my demise.

Not sure

November 23rd, 2003

I’m not sure but I think Wonton’s post may have been about me

That is all =P

Why me?

November 21st, 2003

What can I say. I’m still at work (again) and should have been home 2hrs ago. Why? some may ask, who gives a shit others may comment.. well each to their own. Problems with End of Day shutdowns have held up my going home time. This is good and bad. At the moment I really don’t care that much as I’m emailing a friend of mine who makes me /smile, and she is keeping me entertained enough that I don’t think about THE FACT THAT I’M STILL AT FUCKING WORK!!! ahem.

Its bad, because sleep right now would be lovely… If I had chug’d down a red bull at some point tonight I would be keen as beans to stay up, but as I am without red bull the desire to sleep is catching up.

Its good because now I get more Toil, and more toil means I get to go home or have a day off at some point in the future. Due to the fact that 3 out of 4 of the voices say its ok for me to be awake at this time I can handle getting time off in the future.

w00t. The last log entries I have been waiting for have arrived and that means hometime for this Matthew.

May post later re Adam and his foolishness… but then thats just Adam. :)

Matt signing out.

*Yawn*

November 20th, 2003

So its past midnight. I’m still at work and looking at being here for at least another 30mins minimum. I’m not a workaholic, this is just the time my shift runs til. I’m not complaining either, because I actually like working night shifts, its peaceful. I just thought it was a semi-decent opener to the post :P

Quoting Adam..Look I really don’t judge people based on their looks

I can actually vouch for this. Where I may come across as being superficial, Adam isn’t. Trust me on this (and this isn’t to dis Adam, its just fact) I’ve seen a few of his ex’s and believe me, this boy doesn’t go after girls for their looks alone. That isn’t to say he hasn’t dated girls that I consider good looking though. But what are looks? What one person finds attractive another doesn’t. I’m sure Adam may have thought one or two of my girlfriends were unattractive and with the exception of 1 I woul totally disagree with him. That 1 being a girl that while I found her attractive she just didn’t sit right with Adam and that would probably be his reasoning. But I digress. I may give him shit about some of the girls he dates, but he should understand (and I’m sure he does understand) that my opinion is just that. My opinion. If he likes the girl he will continue dating her. And vice versa for myself. I don’t know where I’m going with this to be totally honest but the flow is there and I’m tired.. Besides, I can post here and I can ramble if I wish right?

Yay, I think one of the backups have completed. Time is passing nicely, just the way I planned it. ramble ramble ramble…..

………
I can’t breathe in this thing.

COL SANDURZ
We’re approaching Planet Druidia, sir.

DARK HELMET
Good. I’ll call Spaceball City, and notify President Skroob immediately.

RICO
I already called him, sir. He knows everything.

DARK HELMET
What? You went over my helmet?

RICO
Well, not exactly over it, sir. More on the side. I’ll always call you first. It’ll never happen again. Never, ever!

DARK HELMET
(puts on Schwartz ring)

RICO
Oh shit! No, no, no, no, no, please, no, no, please, no, not that. (covers his neck)

DARK HELMET
(pulls mask down)
Yes. That. (shoots a green ray at Rico’s crotch)

RICO
Whaoooooooo! Owwwwwwwwww!

Spaceballs is a wonderful movie isn’t it? I must thank Wonton for bringing this up. Many top quotes in that movie.

THATS A HUGE BITCH!!

So here I am just randomly quoting. Obviously I have nothing better to do. I knew I should have brought a book into work tonight.

So I’m looking forward to coming to work on Thursday because after that I have 6 days off. I love the way my roster works out sometimes. Excellent (think Mr Burns)

Off on a tangent we go

I wonder if a helpdesk type operation would discriminate against a person with Turets Syndrome. Not to be mean and heartless, but could you imagine how god damn funny it would be to work with someone who had Turets in a helpdesk or call centre. Dead set I don’t think I would stop laughing the whole time. Just to grab the recording that was taken for that call and listen to the customers reaction at the person swearing at them. I’m guessing they probably would discriminate.. but it is amusing to think about. Don’t even try and tell me that you don’t, in some dark and evil part of your soul, find that slightly amusing to think about in some way.

….

….

….

I knew it… you do.

I could run further with this, but I wouldn’t want Adam to get bombarded with hate mail or something of that nature. He knows I could run with it and Dan does to. Thats all that matters.

So half an hour has passed, and I’m still here. Yay for me. I’m about all typed out now, so till next time….

HOLY SHIT ITS BIGFOOT!!
