Disappointed

Thats how i would describe how im feeling at the moment. Im disappointed because noone has made much of an effort to win me over in the quest for an invitation to Abbey's Xmas Party. People should be sucking up to me and buying me presents... But its not happening. It should be, if you wanna go. You have 3 days to get some game and treat me.

Anyway, i have to blog and brag about me betting over the 2 days. I have won a combined $57, with 3 won bets and 1 lost bet. Just had to mention that. And that im not hearing much about Kelly and Brock's TAB accounts, so im guessing they are slowly succumbing to the system. Fools.

Since i last posted, it seems that Benny Cousins has found a home with Richmond. Good on him. I probably wouldnt have cared too much if he didnt get drafted, cos he sort of deserved it. But he did, and i just hope he smokes it (no pun intended) and everyone gets off his back for a while.

The only gay thing about the whole Ben Cousins saga, is how much its been in the media. Back and front page mention every day this week, and even on foxtel i see his noggin or hear about him every 5 minutes. Its pretty pathetic that there wasnt better news than where he was possibly, hypothetically, and maybe going to go. But i suppose Kelly's fight wasnt exactly back news material, and Calum's duck on the weekend wasnt much to write about...

Today i went over Mulks, again, and we played some poker. Tom forgot to bring his brain, and went all in on shit cards and was knocked out early. Calum was the early leader, while Kelly languished chip-wise towards the bottom for a long while. James won some back off Calum and Kelly perished soon after, leaving myself James and Calum in the game, with me on probably half the chips they each had. But you cant keep a player down for too long, and i called Calum's all in and won on the river with a straight, i was pretty happy.

The final between me and James dragged on for ages, as i just couldnt finish him, but the end result was as it was always going to be, a win to yours truly.

A repeat of the performance will happen soon, as a poker night is in the works...

Im out.

Lately

Well the weekend was sort of eventful i guess. Friday night i had to work, and i was hell mad about it, cos everyone decided they would go out once again. Cowtown was on, which made me even madder, but i decided i would go after work and catch up. But as it happened, i used my Jedi mind tricks and brazen charm to get off at 8, and i went out with the guys.

It was a bit anticlimax actually, cos i knew as many Cowtown songs as Cal does women, which is to say, not very many. (sorry Cal, i havnt ripped on you in a while...) . But the beers went down good so that was okay with me... And soon as Kelly got given the ultimate Ultimatum by the lovely Morgs (i wont say what, but you can probably guess) and bailed on us, we decided the time was cherry ripe to leave.

And Saturday i saw Chels for a bit, went to Steph's house. Which is quite wicked, she has a sun heated pool, even though it had a bug that bit me hell bad, thought i was might die. And a huge ass clock. (yes, i did mean clock, you dirty minded freaks) And a bench with like indents in it that doubles as like a sink drainer, it was pretty cool. If your into houses and shit anyway..

And today i S.F.A. Actually went and saw Mulks again for a bit. We played horse at the leisure centre, where i preceded to dominate them... and because Tom isnt with you at the moment, he cant tell you otherwise. Then i got mad when i realised its my last game for like ever tomoro night, actually im still hell mad now thinking about it, i am punching the keys hell hard in anger. But not as angry as Kelly was in his little smish last week...

Today was also the day that Lebron and the Cavs lost their first game in ages... im pretty mad about that too, because the Cavs were in both my bets. I lost them both cos of that, the tossers.

Anyway, thats about all i can think of saying atm. Oh, except Chelsea doesnt want to go with me to the Staff Xmas Party at Abbey, so auditions to be my faux-girlfriend/boyfriend for the night are being held this week... so treat me real nice.

Okay, im out. peace.

Holy Shit

Holy shit. Im sorry. I havnt updated for ages... But its not all my fault. Jackson, my brother, the golden child, smashed the screen on our computer so i wasnt able to use it. So blame him, i just did.

Anyway, whats happened in the last week? Scandal.

For one, Kelly got himself into a smish the other day. I wont say who with, but apparently it was over driving directions haha. Like they just argued about which turn to take then started punching each other in the face... I feel for thr other person but. Ive seen Kelly mad, and there's a reason we call him the Red Hulk. Think about it.

Then i got a msg from Brock the other day pleading me to take him home from the cornerstore. I wasnt in the mood to pick up a streetwalker, but i was such a good friend i did anyway. It was worth it, because he bought me a poweraide for my troubles... It turns out he went to the dentist, took Valium cos he is scared of needles (the pussy) and wasnt allowed to drive for 24 hours cos he was higher than Toms half-mast at a kindergarten. Haha.

Umm, we also got foxtel, thats pretty big. Im a huge fan of the NBA and World Series Poker they have on it... My Mum loves the poker too (im not gonna make a rude joke here like you all would you fags) - she stayed up til like 2 the other night following a final. Not even i was that obsessed. I reckon she would beat me now but...

And the last couple of days i have just umpired and worked, cos Chelsea has been doing the Cool School Race Camp. Which her team apparently won, the race bit anyway... Not a bad effort! And just to let everyone know, we would have won way back in 06, but we got jipped. Believe it!

Im hell mad too. I just found out i have to work Xmas Day and New Years Eve... Which needless to say, is gayer than Brock was at Mazzas party. Real gay.

Anyway, im out. I love you all.

My bad

Sorry for that, Calum took too long to blog then i had to leave... And i didnt realise he was going to admit his bent sexuality on the internet for everyone to see. But basically, what he should have said, is that we beat YCW, even though we were 11 points behind with 15mins to go. Some good shooting and impenetrable Defense was the reason for this... and they are pretty much all old dudes.


Player of the Week: There wasnt really an individual best player, but we did play as a team really well in the 2nd half. We had better pressure defense than the Chicago Bulls ever did, and we were quicker in transition that Jarryd can break hearts.
Honourable mentions: Brock for his tight defense and Kelly for his all-round game.

Play of the week: Probably the best play in the game was Brock's long two to take the lead for the first time since half-time, but the most pivotal was Lachie's possession retaining in the final two minutes, followed by a successful drive to the bucket.
Honourable mentions: Pagey's huge block, and my 3 late 3 pointers

Once again, here are some stats for the game...

Brock: 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 0 from 2 at free throw, 0 from 1 from 3point, 37.5% shooting and 39.5mins

Alex: 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 from 5 from 3point, 44.4% shooting and 30mins

Kelly: 5 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 from 2 from free throw, 28.6% shooting and 40mins

Make what you will of those stats. This week we play Monday night against a seriously depleted YWC Kings, as their regular players will be on Leavers. Needless to say, we will be 5 - 1 after that week, second only to the undefeated Colts.

Together Again

Tonight, the lambda boys should be back in action again... At the Vasse. Yes, this is the first time in over 4 months that the once-feared drinking unit will be doing what they do best - drinking alcohol. Except for Tom, who is best at taking his shirt off. All the time.

I say should because Kelly hasnt RSVP'ed yet. So Kelly if you're reading this, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, and send me a msg. Oh and if you're reading this, which you would be if you just read that, then get out your mobile right now. Seriously. Get it out and send Kelly a msg telling him to go out tonight. And to text me back. Cos we love you Clifford and cant wait to see you throw up yet again...

Anyway, nothing really interesting has happened lately, except that i met someone pretty cool, and ive been winning a couple of bets on the NBA along with my partner in crime (and also blogging), Brocky.

Notice how i said 'winning'. Brock would just say 'placing'.

Also, got my new BBL kicks the other day... Can't wait to play ball in them. Im hoping that they are like the shoes on 'Like Mike'. Thatd be awesome. But we dont need it anyway this week. We are gonna kill Saints White. Metaphorically speaking.

Peace
T-Betta out...
