Thats right folks. This is how you become a modern home based Pirate, no fancy pirate clothes necessary (although if your into that sort of thing… go right ahead).

1. Find yourself some suckers internet connection. Steal it.
2. Using his internet connection download illegal movies from your program of choice.
3. Profit?

Ok being a bit more serious. It’s very easy these days to do the whole illegal thing. I mean how hard is it to type into google and find somewhere to download things illegally. Getting movies, games, music all the more easy. Why not buy a DVD burner, go to your local blockbuster or video store of choice and burning a rented dvd. Why not go to somewhere like Bali or Thailand and come home with hundreds of illegal DVD’s which have all been done with cameras in someones store.

Yes i own a DVD burner, yes i have a fast internet connection. Yes i have an mp3 player. These three things dont make me a pirate.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

So after months of back and forth, trying to make decisions, not sure what to do, I have finally made a decision. On the 23rd of June i jet off south to Sydney for 2 nights staying at the Vibe Hotel Goulbourn Street. While im there i have a bridgeclimb at night and then who knows what im doing the other day. Then on the 25th of June it’s off to Cairns with Contiki. 14 days of new faces, new friends and the Qld Coast, stopping at Coffs Harbour, Gold Coast, Fraser Island, Whitsundays and finishing in Cairns.

I look forward to the whole road trip as I have not done a road trip up the Qld Coast or even between Sydney and Brisbane since i was in primary school over 12 years ago!

This should be a good couple of weeks and i’m really looking forward to it. But tommorrow it’s the Wholesaler Challenge between Sunlover and Qantas. I hope it will be good, last year was so much fun.

So think good thoughts and time to kick some Qantas butt!

Well today i decided i would actually join the console revolution. I bought a PSP. Some people might start thinking im a bit of a nerd or that im wasting my money but there is reasoning. It is pretty much a portable entertainment system. Not only can i play games and listen to mp3s but i can also watch movies using an UMD (universal media disc) and also surf the web!

I mainly bought it for when im travelling i will still have access to things that will keep me amused and also watch some good movies. As for what movies are on psp so far i have Mr and Mrs Smith, but have been looking online and found that EZYdvd are selling some really great movies for $10 each. I’m going to order a couple soon including King Kong and Serenity which are both gonna be $10 each so cant wait for that… being able to watch Serenity on the way to work 😀

At the moment i only have 1 game for it (Ridge Racer) but soon i should be able to get a Nintendo 64 emulator for my psp which means i can play some old classic games like Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong Country and even Mortal Combat. But it should be good to have this for when im bored. Anyway im on early shift tommorrow.

This is an emo post… if you dont want to read the emo post just keep scrolling.

Most of those who know me know that one of my dearest friends is currently in the UK. I miss her immensly. Before she left we used to talk at least once a week. We have always had some form of seperation as before she left she lived on the Central Coast area of NSW. But now that she is a 24 hour flight away and a 10 hour time difference things are very different.

Anytime i even think of her it pains me to do so. It hurts quite a bit. Knowing that talking to her will cost me a fortune from the other side of the world but also is hard to work around. If i want to call her it has to be at really insane times :/ Its rough having to be so far apart from each other. Anytime i do talk to her i get this really strong feeling of missing her and not having her in close reach. One of my friends seems to think im in love with her… I just dont know.

I hope that she will return soon, back to Aus, back within close reach, back where i know she is safe and if im needed can be there in a flash. I dont know if she will even read this but if you do. I miss you babe, come home soon.

I was going to be posting about some spotting stuff yesterday but when i woke up… my old computer, laughingly reffered to as Fridge, was D.O.A. She wouldnt boot, no nothing, seemed like the motherboard died. So i did the best thing that any decent person would do… GUT HER! I stripped out what i could salvage (hard drives and sound card mainly) and went in search of a new pc. After 5 hours of waiting and 1 of those hours fighting with the staff at Umart over some parts, i had all the parts i needed for a new pc.

Took me another 5 or so hours to get her running (plenty of fiddling with cables and the like) and she was alive…..
I had brought her to life, she was heavy, she was good looking, she had to be named… Bessie. Like any good farmer he always has a cow named bessie. Well my big fat heavy pc is now named Bessie. Shes a lovely pc, P4 3.4 HT, 1gig DDR2 Ram, 500gig HDD in total (80 & 120 IDE and a 300 SATA2). Radeon X800-GT, 550w power supply ($170 ffs!!) plus my old Audigy 2, all in a beautiful Soprano case. She’s not finished yet. Still need to get the DVD burner fixed up, buying a Cold Cathode, Fan Controller (3 big fans in the case) and something to carry her with cause shes so heavy!!

Anyway time to go to work!!!

My god my body hurts. I just got home from SEQ’s and it was good yet tough. I was with a great team of guys who even though we didnt win every game we did pretty damn well.

My body at the moment feels like it has been beaten with a stick over and over and over…. and i stink as well so i think a shower is in order. Things are going good at the moment… been working a lot so havent been able to update.

For those tracking my shave for a cure pledge donations stand at $231. Its been going a bit slow lately but should pick up soon!!!

I’m to tired to talk more today so shall talk more tommorrow.
