Its been a long time. Here's what's happened since last time;
The same.
Kelly and Morgs are still hugging all the time
My hamstring is still fucked
Brock is still the laziest uni student ever
Jarryd still thinks goon is cool
Thomas is still hunting juvies on myspace
Calum stills sings songs really loud at parties
Different.
2nd semester is about to start
Busselton Colts actually have a good side this year
I have very little hair, on my head at least
Brock has a steady girlfriend (no more dry spell)
Cal found himself a saucy gal, Rosabella
We think we have proof that Kerny is, in fact, straight
We have resorted to drinking Export
Tom is hunting new juvies on myspace
Karen now gets drunk all the time
Thats about it for the big talking points. We mosl passed all our units this semester, and are looking forward to semester two, where we might try and be a bit more sociable. Even if it does cost money.

Work < Free Time
Today is the day i have been waiting for. It is the end point in a quest for which i have been undertaking for a long time, the elusive finish line of a marathon. Today, my friends, is the day of my last shift at Abbey Beach Resort.
For a month and a half anyway.
Its been a long time coming, but im finally gonna enjoy some time off, even if it is for like 12 days. Why only 12 days you ask? Because apparently i have to do a 4 week intensive bridging course to get up to scratch in calculus, before the real uni year starts. And its all in Perth, so i have to move up and everything. As to where im staying, im about as clueless as Jarryd is at Snowboarding. So if you have any ideas, call my assistant, and suggest something.
Or just comment here. Either one works.
So ive been on the phone to all these random people from all these faculties and centres and offices trying to sort this shit out pretty much, but im finally getting there. At least i have this weekend to take my mind of things, as the much anticipated Beach Campout Fest 09 is being held.
The lead organiser, the infamous Brock LeBron James Chewbacca Jeffery-Monck, has put out an official notice to all invited:
"There will be no beer. Beer is the Devils Drink... We will only drink what the God's have given us - Apple Schapps, Midori, and Cruisers. Oh how they taste like heaven..."
What a pussy. He sounds like more of a girl then Kelly when he talks about his 'feelings'. So if he thinks there will be no beer, he is sorely mistaken. But i wont bring much.
I will let you all know how it goes. Including my last shift, which starts in 90 minutes. Enough time to put my war-paint on i reckon.
T-Betta Out.

Last
Last night we played our last game for the year. And we won again, so we are pretty happy. We played Saints development, but they were without 4 of their biggest players, so it would have been interesting to have seen who won if we were both at full-strength.
Player of the Week: Jarryd Kelly. Shot the lights out, but only when he was open. Whenever he took an uncontested 3, he nailed it, to finish with 7 from long range. Thats 21 extra points to us, if you didnt realise. He also contributed well in transition to get a few fast baskets.
honourable mentions: Brock Monck: His offensive game and on-ball screens were very classy. Sean McMulkin. Didnt spend much time on, but played well when he did, including a 3
Play of the Week: I'd have to call it a draw this week, between 1. Brock's massive drive and lay from the top of the key through 3 defenders - something we've never seen hi do before but all know he can, 2. Lachie's improvised ally-oop off an errant pass for 2 points. Slick.
Honouable mentions: Brock's block, any of Jarryd's threes.
Completely off the topic of basketball, we found out yesterday that Jeremy Armstrong died yesterday. He was hit by a taxi early sunday morning and was taken to Perth Royal hospital, and he was in a critical but stable condition, but things worsened, and his family had to turn off the life support.
For those who didnt know him, he was a pretty stand up sort of guy. He was my best friend all through priary school, and Kelly knows him pretty well from hockey too. So it's pretty bullshit that this gay stuff keeps happening to good people.
im out.

Single Mum
This week has been pretty fun i must say. It's interesting to see how much stuff my parents do for our family, and how much housework you have to do to stop the rest of the house looking like my room.
Well the weekend was the most intense of it all, cos i was on constant kid-lookout. But they are still alive now, so i did okay i suppose. Friday night Jackson and Ben organised a sleepover at a friends so i took them over there and discovered i had the rest of the night to myself basically. Or at least that's what i thought.... Baw Baw Bawwww...! (You know, the dramatic noise they have in soaps? Work with me here)
Just as i was leaving, and thanking them for taking the kids for a night, Ben came running up to me, more hysterical than Kelly was the time that we lost the grand final. He was screaming about his thumb and wouldnt let me see it and when he finally did, it looked okay, like it wasnt swollen like a mo fo like mine was when i broke it. But he said he heard a crack when he fell on it, so i went to get it checked out at emergency anyway.
When we got there, there was noone there but us in the waiting room, but it still took 45mins to get seen. Thats the slowest ive ever seen anything move since seeing Jarryd in transition last week. Well the doctor said its wasnt broken, and Ben copped an ice cream out of it, so it was worth it for me.
They didnt even offer me one but...
That night, all the COOL guys (basically us guys except Kelly cos he was being a pussy) went to the vasse then the nard as usual. It was pretty eventful actually, especially for Brock, who copped a few sneaky texts from one of Tom's ex's (we wont name names here, not like you do on your blog Brock) and tund the shit out of Jenny Donovan (sorry pal, had to mention that name).
But apart from what ive written here, ive just been a good Single Mum doing my housework and cooking and cleaning.
Oh and tonight is our basketball game, so come on down.... 8.20. be there or be square.
Peace out, A-Town

Favourite Day of the Week
Yes, I have a bad case of Mondayitis. Every week. Its also my favourite day to blog about. Its probably not hard to guess why, but we had basketball last night. And, as promised, we came away with a win. So here is my amateurish review of the night:
Player of the week: Dwayne Wade, aka Lachlan Cudmore. We should start calling him the flash cos he is quicker in transition than Tom is to a chick's 16th birthday party. He had more steals than Jarryd has women on the go, and too much poise and class for any opposition, let alone the inexperienced Saints White.
Honourable Mentions: Brock Monck (see overwhleming stats below), Tony Page (5 points including a 3, a block and a handful of rebounds in his 20 mins)
Play of the Week: Without a doubt, Lachie's rejection to gather to falling out of court to pass to teammate. I didnt see it, but everyone basically got their junk out about it so it must have been okay!
Honourable mentions: Pageys first three-pointer (after a minor travel), and our team's press which forced them 8 seconds in the backcourt.
I also got my brother and Sean and his friend Alex to count a couple of our stats for us, and he ended up taking Mine, Brock's and Kelly's. Here they are:
Brock: 16pts, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 from 4 at free throw, 0 steals, 61.5% shooting and 31.5 mins
Kelly: 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 from 2 at free throw, 2 steals, 50.0% shooting and 30.5 mins
Alex: 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 0 from 1 at three point, 1 steal, 44.4% shooting and 26 mins
We will try and take them over the next few weeks aswell, to get some idea of what a good game is for us individually. Anyway, we knew these guys were an average team of great guys so we started off playing a little stupidly. but after the timeout at 12 - 16, we kept them scoreless until halftime at 12 - 34. We tried the press for a bit but it was a bit rusty, and our turnovers increased, but so did theirs and we ended up with a few fast breaks from it. Final score was 26 - 72, our highest ever score in A-Grade basketball to date.
Well, thats all i have. We play last years finalists (and fossils) YCW Stingers on tuesday night next week. By all means come on down, but remember to turn off your flashes when youre taking photos of us....
peace
