Pull your head in Roy. We need you on the team but you just can’t seem to do yourself any favors. Stop and think for a moment before you open your mouth. Remember when you were saying you would put your hand up to be Australia’s captain?
Basically, it’s your fault that we’re looking worse than Bangladesh on the cricket field at the moment.
Well, I was born a Hawks supporter. Therefore Saturday’s grand final was a pretty sweet thing.
It was a far fough contest and in the end, in my humble opinion, it all just came down to heart – and that’s something our Hawks have always had plenty of!
For me, the tears welled up most for the handsomest and longest suffering man in the AFL, Shane Crawford.
To quote the Angry Ant (Clarkson): “We are a happy team at Hawthorn!”
I was always quite fond of Chris Benoit (even if his name did remind me of a sex toy):
Professional wrestler Chris Benoit met with his personal physician hours before he allegedly killed his wife and son before hanging himself in his basement, the doctor said.
(How do you categories a post like this? Is it insensitive to categorise it as “sport”)
Few things are sweeter than destroying England 5 – 0. It’s only the second time we’ve ever done it and the last time was too long ago for anyone to remember.
Langer made me cry – mostly because he was crying. That’s ok though, I’m a sensitive guy who is in touch with his feelings of hatred for the English cricket team.
The question now is who will be made Australian of the year? Punter? Warnie? McGrath? Langer? I don’t think they could make Warnie Australian of the year due to his “off the field” conduct but McGrath, the family man, could do it, as could Punter.
Bring on the World Cup I say!
I know I’m a little slow off the mark with this one but what the bloody hell is up with Damien Martin’s resignation? Who does he think he is?
Bring on Symmo I say but I suspect it will be Watson that we see.
Today marks the beginning of two things I’ve eagerly anticipated for some time now.
Firstly, the Ashes are finally here. Bring on the flipper I say! It may also provide some inspiration for my, as yet unknown, as yet unpublished co-author here at Goonanism.
Secondly, this post is coming to you from a 100% Microsoft-free environment. I hope I’m not speaking to soon but I have Ubuntu (Linux) rocking it out on my computer and it is so far so good. I think I’ve even over come my media-related issues.
So my household managed to exceed our 20 Gig a month download limit somehow. I realise I’m partly responsible but 20 Gig is quite ridiculous. This makes use of my computer frustrating. In addition I’m having ongoing difficulties trying to get a linux operating system happening on my computer – I’m close and will persist for a little longer.
A friend of mine is going away for 3 weeks and lending my his Motorbike. So excited – I haven’t been on a bike for many months.
The Electric Six’s Senor Smoke is the sound track to my life at the moment replacing Cold Cut’s Sound Mirrors. Both Albums didn’t strike me as particularly exciting when I first listened to them but I’m obsessed with both of them now.
I keep dreaming that I’m overseas and face increasingly difficult obstacles to getting to my plane home. When I was overseas I had to make it to London by a certain date in order to catch my plane to Bangkok and them home, it wasn’t particularly difficult but I did have to get from Morocco to Madrid so that I could catch a plane to London. In my dream I basically keep reliving this though my dreams only there is always something getting in the way. Someone can’t give me a lift, I get lost or something else. The dream is always completely different with different people in it but the theme doesn’t change. I’ve dreamt the same thing at least the last three nights. On two of those nights I woke up wondering which country I was in and it took me a few seconds to figure out I was in Australia. Can you imagine my disappointment.
My best friend is engaged. I’m going to be the best man. That makes me really happy for quite a few reasons.
I’m on the dole, the rock ‘n roll, working for Bracksy etc. For the first time in my life I’m receiving some sort of government benefit. You’ve got to fill out a job diary and apply for 10 jobs a fortnight but you only have to submit your diary once every 12 weeks. I hope I’m employed by then so I can’t help but feel that I’ll never fill it out. I’ll let you know when I’m employed again.
Last night I went to an A-League game – my first one. It was great and the mighty Melbourne Victory defeated Perth 1 – 0. There was 25000 people there. It felt like this whole new world that I was previously unaware of.
Is anyone else quite overwhelmed with joy at this news?
I thought I’d take a brief moment out of my day to make this small comment on my beloved Hawks.
Zac Dawson should not be playing full back. I understand and sympathise with Clarkson’s position that he needs a few tough lessons – clearly he does. I even buy the long term view stuff. The Hawks won’t win the flag this year but they might in the next few years.
However my concern is that he will be broken as a footballer and his career destroyed through a lack of confidence. He’s is not a great footballer and has this drilled into him by the media every time he plays on a half decent full forward. So now, not only is he young and lacking the necessary baulk, but he fucks it up every time he gets the ball because he is so terrified of making a mistake and so aware that everyone is watching him and collectively groaning every time he goes near the ball.
In time he may be a good footballer but now is not that time so lets not break him yet.
May of you will be interested in this press release:
The Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) today granted bridging visas to the final two athletes from the Sierra Leone Commonwealth Games team.
All 14 athletes who were listed by their team as missing and whose Games accreditation was withdrawn have now been located and are lawfully in the community.
I’ve got other exciting news that I was hoping to be able to tell you by about now but it will have to wait another day or so.
However this is quite different to the other news that I’ve been holding back and can now announce. One of my best friends is getting married, god bless her! Yep, she’s all in love and shit and I couldn’t be happier for her. I don’t think she reads this but if you do then let me tell you once again that I love you more than life itself!!
