A few tid bits

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All 14 athletes who were listed by their team as missing and whose Games accreditation was withdrawn have now been located and are lawfully in the community.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!!

Footy!

I keep saying to myself, “it’s only the crappy pre-season,” but I can’t help getting pretty excited.

Hell, Hawthorn even one!

International Poker Tour

Hello kids – sorry about the lack of writing of late – things have been a little out of hand. Nothing to worry about, just really busy.

Thought I’d pop in an comment on a couple of things.

Firstly, I was officially dubbed the North Melbourne Poker Champion last week. That’s right, line up and let me take your money.

Now the thing about poker is that I love it but hate the casino – I’ve never been there for gambling purposes and I avoid going there for other purposes. So when the opportunity arose for a 12 person $10 buy in tournament I jumped at the opportunity. All that watching of the International Poker Tour on Foxtel (one of my favorite pastimes) paid off. I was actually pretty good at it – even started reading the play a bit. Walked away with 80 big ones my friends.

So now that I’m convinced that I’m a fantastic poker play (No-limit Texas Holdem) I really want to play again and just don’t have the opportunity to do so. So if you want me to take your cash just let me know and we’ll organise another night of no-limit Texas Holdem!!

Which brings me to my second point, the $80 that I won I put towards my overseas trip. That’s right kids, I finally feel that I can say this. Those that i work with who read this blog are now aware that I will be going overseas this year – and hence resigning.

So we’ve a new category: ‘travel’. And I’m afraid that at some point this year – around mid-year I’d say – this blog will degrade into a boring travel blog. But I care not for I am too excited.

Now, what do you think the chances of me being able to travel the world on my poker skills would be?

Australian of the Year

I fear I might be too late too late to nominate for Australian of the Year, but I’ll tell you who it should be: Mick who the fuck is Lewis.


Bloody legend!
