This is Stinkoman, he is the Japanese cartoon version of Strong Bad on www.homestarrunner.com A while ago I felt like I was alone,that if i were to fall no one catch me and would igrore my pleas for help. I was depressed I had voices ringing in the bac of my head, telling me that I was pathetic, I always wrong, I good for nothing, I'm a waste of space on this planet, just give up I'll always loose. I doubted myselft and didn't know who i was. My possitive reasoning putting up a pathetic case. That was until one time at Youth group, where I was told that I am loved and I am part of a loving community. I am thankful for that. Then things went right up hill from their, My Positive reasoning captured Self Doublt as a prisoneer of war. My Relationship with god has been strengthened, I have confidence in myself, and now I am back on the rails.

Keep the Faith, Cheers!

On Friday I had to do visual and Sound for the Christmas workshop, because the Drama group is having a week off, some other guy filled in for us. He was okay I guess, but we could of done a better job. We had Ian back as our Teacher and things couldn’t of been better.

Yesterday
Carla, Ros, Daniel and I went to the movies and as the title suggests we saw the Grudge. The movie was good, it was creepy. My Brother is into those movies. One thing about the movie is that it is a Japanese movie redone for American audiences; only they used the original location.
Daniel spent half the movie behind his hand; Carla spent half the film clinging to him. I watched it rather passively, only shocked once when something surprised me. After that we went for a walk and then went home.

Today,
Went to church, in youth group we discussed love. In all of its forms. Love is more than a bunch of chemicals going around our body, it is something greater. There are lots of diffent types of love, yes you have the Sexual Desire for a person, you have the love that a child has for its mother, the love that God has for us. Love is special. We also discussed commercial Christmas and how it is late November and Santa is already at Harvey Norman, I commented that with the wonders of the networking age Santa must have a lot more time on his hands.

Cheerfully Cheers, *5 more days of school*

The Maths Exam

Friday, November 26, 2004

How bad is this? I loose my calculator on the day of the maths exam.
Oh well i lived, I was able to get a spare from my maths teacher. *Sigh* that was too close.
Perhaps it is some sort of message from a highter being saying "Instead of watching cartoons, on the day of the exam perhaps you should...you know...get ready"
I didn't study, but i worked realy hard during class and there wasn't anything to realy study.
I came home, then went through the pigsty (According to my mum, but I call it home), I have a habbit of rather than cleaning it up, I pack it aaway conviently so it wont get noticed, and then leave it. Now I know how petentially my room could of really been. Personally it reminds me of that Sherry Bobbins song:

herry Bobbins: Alright, children, let's clean up this room.

Bart: Aw, man...

Lisa: Do we have to?

Sherry: Now, now. I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast.

If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run,
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job.

If you cut every corner,
It is really not so bad.
Everybody does it,
Even mom and dad.
If nobody sees it,
Then nobody gets mad.

Bart: It's the American way!

Sherry: The policeman on the beat
Needs some time to rest his feet.

Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!

Sherry: And the clerk who runs the store
Can charge a little more
For meat

Apu: For meat!

Sherry: And milk

Apu: And milk!

Sherry & Apu: From 1984!

Sherry: If you cut every corner,
You'll have more time for play!

All: It's the American way!



Tomorrow I have no more exams and a day off. But I do wish the best of luck to all those who still have to sit one. You are all in my prayers tonight.

Cheers

Need Faith? Sure you can borrow some of mine!

The Job interview 2 amd The English Exam

Wednesday, November 24, 2004

What A Day!
Yesterday I went for the Job interview, I though I asked it, but I get an E-mail today saying thanks for trying.
I also had the piss taken out of me, several times! By those I thought were friends. I want a sea change, I yearn for it. But without a job I cant afford another school, but on the light side Carla said that she'd accept me if I were to go to her school.
Also today I had the English Exam we had to answer questions about Truancy and write an essay.
I think I did quite well, but on the bad side I felt that way just after the job interview.
Nothing much happened after that, I watched my Love Hina DVDs and played Megaman.

I found this funny

The Autograph: To Jack, Thaks heaps! Glad you enjoyed "The Sapphires" Aljin Abella 'Joe' Today I went by train into the centre of our fine city (And for all of you that don’t know, it's Melbourne). Isn't it lovely to have a city with such diversity in the sexes, colours, religions, wage groups, and hairstyles?
Yes, While walking through the streets I was fascinated by some of the outrageous hairstyles And how many there were. The thing about living in a city like mine is that you could be the most far-out, extreme, fashion defying person out there, and you still can be cool.

Anyway also on the topic of diversity, I went to a Hari Censer (I hope is spelt that right) curry kitchen where they serve all you can eat curry at low low prices. Being a passionate Christian, I had my doubts on going there. But the food was good and the portions were fantastic. Not long after I came some music came on. Then the man sitting on the table next to mine started singing with passion. I may not follow their way of life, but it was beautiful to see a person singing proudly over something he believed in, in this grey grey city of ours.

Well anyway, the real reason why I went to the city was to see the Melbourne Theatre Company performance of "The Sapphires", it was a quad et of Aboriginal Women, doing show to soldiers in the Vietnam War (For more details click here. (This is where the title comes in) There was one character, which played a 14-year-old Vietnamese boy who left home to work for the family, I wanted his autograph, and I went out of my way to get it. Even sneaking through restricted areas of the Melbourne arts centre (Might I add that somehow I found myself in the opera section. Sure, Some would call it trespassing, but I was let in and didn't make a fuss when I was caught and shown to the lobby. Not even that would stop me; I did some more snooping for him in less 'restricted' areas. I did for a damn 30 minutes. Then I pressed on the elevator to leave, and said half to myself "That is it God, I'm leaving now! If he is not in this lift; I'm going to get out on my floor and just walk to the station." Then the doors opened, and there he was. I got the autograph we talked for a bit and went our ways. Woo Hoo. Now my faith is even stronger.

Here is your chance to vote: Was it an Act of God/Fate/Very Good Luck/A fluke? Place votes Now!

Cheers!

The Comfirmartion

Thursday, November 18, 2004

Over the last few weeks My English teacher has been teaching us about "Rites of passage". And we had to write about it. So I thought, "Hey, I'm approaching a rite of passage, how about I keep a diary of the events that lead up to it", so with out further dew, here is my diary.

Confirmation:
A sacrament admitting a baptised person to full participation in the church

I guess the story of my Rite of passage began two years ago, when while I was sleeping there was a voice in the back of my head. It said, "You should go to church, you'll enjoy it, you'll find yourself" and various other things along like that. So I did. I am pretty sure, that it was god telling me that.

The first couple of weeks were rather awquard, but they have a real good youth group, and after a few weeks I really felt part of the family.

Over the years, I took up responsibilities for the church, soon I find myself a major part of the Date Projection team and of the Drama team, which got its big break a the Christmas workshop.

Anyway, the topic of Confirmation came up at the beginning of this year. Now I had a few concerns, because I was going to be confirmed but I hadn't been baptised yet, but those worries were quickly put to rest.

A few weeks ago, there was a message in the church bulletin there was a notice that there was a Confirmation class, on the 21'st of November. But I misread it, so I made invitations to the class. That had to be recalled.

So, On Sunday, I'm going to the class. But one thing is for sure! I am inviting all my friends, and I am going to celebrate.

While I'm on the topic of Rituals.

1. The friendships people have when they are twelve are a lot different from the ones at. Lets say 40. They are far more sacred, more playful, and stronger. Than most other types of relationships.

2. Back when I was in grade 6. (Ah those good old days). My friendship was very playful, and imaginative. I'd just wallow away lunchtimes by making up stories and sleepovers. It was playing, not the hanging out and talking.

Cheers

The English Teacher

Wednesday, November 17, 2004

Just as the title suggests, this chapter in Ajax: The Blog is about my english teacher. He is such a pushover, he tries to cater to the students wants so much that he is compromising on his dinity. All the student have to do is say "No, i dont want to do that" and he changes the assignment around completley. If a student doesn't hand somthing up, he just buggs the student without any real action. Mr Oxenberg, its time to cahenge your ways.

Well anyway with the comfirmation. I sent out the invitations, but they had a completley wrong date, so now i have to do a total invitation recall.

With the plays with Daniel, my character gets killed in the most recent episode. Which isn't all that fun.

Last night I saw "The Forgotten", It's a movie where her Son is being forgotten by everyone, Photos, Videos, Memories - Zip. It didn't awnser all the questions i had so that is why i give it 4 stars.

Last i went to the doctor, His name was Dr. Silth, More like Dr. Yoda. He was hardly understandable, had wrinkles on his head, and had the exact same voice as Him. But i got the perscription for my Exzema, but he went out his way to give me an ACNE perscription.

Cheers

The Popup

Sunday, November 14, 2004

Some bastard hacker has put a link asking if you want to update your browser. You are to never, EVER click yes, or you will fall victim to the same curse that i have fallen to.

Repeat, It is not ligitimate and by clicking yes will be infected. No mater how much it pleads! SAY NO!

The Extended Family

Saturday, November 13, 2004

Over the years, i have reguarded all my friends as family, cos' my family being so disfunctional and all that.

Daniel, Sean, Gary and Matt you are all brothers to me and I love you all like one loves a brother.

Carla, Layla, Erin, Fran and Emily you are like the sisters i never had, and i love you all like one loves a sister.

Please do not think of me any less, That is just how i feel. And hopefully over the years, we can become greater friends.
Over the last thee days I was on a bush walk in Wilsons promontory,
which was great, but so I don't get boring I will keep it short.
On day one Sean bought a ball and called it Wison, If you have ever seen "Castaway" you will know what we are talking about, ironically we took Wilson to Wilson promontory.
There was a hell of a lot of walking, couldn't sleep very well!
On the first night I had: Cos Cos with: Chicken, Salami, Cheese with pitta bread and Pudding for dessert.
On the firth night there was a beach with really good rocks, so I did a bit of bible study.
I would like to thank god, for giving me the stamina when I preyed for it! Every step was was agony by the end.
We beat the rain to the campsite by 5 minutes, I went to bed and just slept, despite it being only 4 pm.
When we left Wison was only 1/2 its original size. We were all kissing the ground.
On the way back some truckies gave us some Soft Core Porn. "Ralph"

At drama the "drama gym teacher" replaced Ian, so we didn't have the best practice, but we put some in.

Today I have tones of work to catch up with, but I went to Daniels House to practice part 4 of the David saga. They kill of my character! Oh well, eventually that led to us playing Mario party.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's off to work I go! Cheers!

A prayer we can all use Now that that political based ranting is over, I can get on with my commentary of life.

strangled enough, a few days after having the angels tell me that a new love will be in the air, I get a message from a really cool (By my standards anyway [Girls who wear mini skirts and smother makeup on their faces to be pretty for the boys are definitely over-compensating for something]) This should be fun, but I have my barriers very clear! Keep u up to speed.

Friday

want on a Chinese History (Or should I see mystery) excusion to Chinatown, Drama (Always good), I play Chad (An overimaginative security guard, and a hit with the ladies and Sam (A British journalist, very classist).

Saturday

Went job hunting. For the first time in my life, I got into my business clothes, got my clip board and went job hunting. I first went to a funky soup kitchen (A small business, good), and the chances of landing a job where good. Then went to Eltham for a few jobs.

Went round to Daniels place and practiced for part three of the David and Saul tale. (Personally anything would of been better then the first attempt, which may I add was Rosemary making a fool of herself with funny voices and Beanie Kids, LOL). Then went to walk Shadow (If you have ever seen 'homewood bound' you would know where the name came from). Got a game from the video library. Grr I asked for Mario Party 3, not 1, grrr.

Then went back to my house (Note: My dad made made an arse of himself, with his never ending well of crankiness), for a super smash brothers championship (WINNER), then two games of Mario Party (WINNER). Watched 'AI: Artificial Intelligence'. Strangely enough he wanted to stay in my room and not the fold out bed. Perhaps he wants to pry through my things, while I'm asleep, to find out my deepesty darkest secrets (What secrets *makes shifty eyes*). Or to be able to say his prayers in peace. Or simply get a good nights sleep.

Sunday

All I do know was that in my room he slept well, in fact straight for the alarm I set for him. I gave him 15 minutes grace and then went onto the height piched, irritating as hell, blot out of bet alarm.
That woke him up (he he he). Had brecky and left for church.

At church we did David and Saul part 3, It was a huge success, with tones of positive feed back (which is always good to hear). In CRU (Daniels idea apparently. It stands for Christians r' Us) We discussed unity and how things that divide us. This involved several rounds of ... Vs .... Such as Coke vs Pepsi, Green vs Blue, Ford vs Holden, Choc' vs Strawberry, Big Dogs (ie. Shadow) vs Little dogs (ie. The ever biting at my ankles: Jessie). Then the controversial topic of Howard vs Latham.

After Church played 'capture' with the demon children (Who might I add take the game a little too seriously). Then went to Danny's house. Watched some chick flick that the name has slipped my mind. Walked Shadow. Saw Danny and Andrew play their brass (Impressive). Played an aggressive and might add almost deadly game of 'The game of life' and left for Big Group.

We were supposed to have a movies under the stars, but Bronwin didn't take into accout
a) Daylight savings
b) Clouds
c) Water coming out of the Clouds.
But we made the best of things and moved the pews in the church so we could have a picnic. Got stuffed on junk food and watched 'Shrek 2'. It was hilarious, especially that extras part (Where animation goes wrong), we watched Far Far Away Idol, I vote for the big based wolf with "Hungry like the wolf", saved princess fiona and went home.

Monday

Nothing much happened. This morning I woke up realizing how much work I have on my plate, and how little I did over the weekend. Got my electives back, they were the suckeyest bunch of electives that ever sucked. I swear (I know mummy told me not to) But in mot of these I could see my-self in the back row, with glasses I with open eyes painted on them. I am seriously considering moving schools. I don't know perhaps Eltham High, or Plenty Valley Christian School. I need change, I yearn for it. SET ME FREE.

Now that that little moment is over I want a minute of silence for those dummies who work really hard in those TAC adds. Today I spent over an hour watching one add after another, and analyzing them, then watching some more. Because I was at my Chinese mystery excursion on Friday I had to come back at lunch and see the rest I havn't. Judging by the TAC adds who would ever get on the roads?!?! Their death traps!. Today while on the roads I see those sort of things happening in the adds. I have been traumatized for life, well not really. But after watching that it makes you think, public transport isn't all that bad after all.

Prepared for the bush walk, got supply's, getting tent. I now learn that I am sharing a tent with Brad. I guess the only way I could describe him is.
Untalkitive, staw like brown hair, rather lankey, bad posture, ascend face, needs a friend by the looks of it. So I might make this a project, to connect more with Brad.

Today I was asked to write about rites of passage, so I decided to write a diary about the lead up to confirmation. So keep your eyes open for future posts.

All this and more in Ajax: The Blog next post.
he he he Cheers

THE SAME BUNCH OF STUPID PEOPLE

Thursday, November 04, 2004

EXCUSE MY TYPING IN UPPER CASE, I HAVE A CONDITION OF YELLING ABOUT POLITICS.

THE WORLD IS STUPID! STUPID PEOPLE ARE ELECTING THE SAME STUPID PEOPLE, TAKE HERE IN AUSTRALIA, WE RE-ELECTED JHON HOWARD AND THE YANKS RE-ELECTED GEORGE BUSH!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. WHAT DO I MEAN? WE ARE GOING TO FAVE ANOUTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH AND HOWARD. THERE ARE GOING TO BE MORE ATTACKS AND MORE WARS! BUSH IS A WAR MONGER AND HOWARD IS A BUTT KISS.

WE ARE ENTERING A NEW AGE, AN AGE WHERE OUT PLANET IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET (I USE THAT PHRASE A LOT). NO GUN CONTOLL, ANIMALS GOING EXTINCT, FOSSIL FUEL, UN-NESSISARY WARS, CONFICTS BETWEEN NATIONS, THE RISE OF POSSESIVENESS, THE RICH GETTING RICHER AND THE POOR STARVING TO DEATH! I CAN GO ON BUT I DONT WANNA, I'D GET TO DEPRESSED.



Today there was no bike ride, for me anyway. On the way to school my wheel wreked itself and is very wobbely. So I stayed at school, and did next to nothing, cos i didn't have any books. During periods 1 and 2 i worked on designing a new big group logo (Some of them were good). During 3 and 4, both teachers were away. So i did next to nothing again. Then during 5 and 6 i studdied the bible, mostly the storey of david and goliath.

Anyway, I invited Daniel to stay around on saturday. But before that I'm going round to his house to practice part three of the story of David and Saul, we did part two last week and before that Rosemary did it using the Broadstock supply of Beanie Bears. Time with the kids has sunk to a new low.

The saga of the crucifix is over, we came to a compromise. I wrote (Well my mum did) a letter to Mr Moore asking for excemption status, he gave me it. So now i can wear it as much as i like. I would of liked to take more action though.

The Chinese history excursion is tomorrow, we go to a chinese musium. So that will be a bludge, then to drama (woo hoo)

Like Sand in an Hourglass, there go the days of our lives! Cheers

The Haloween Party

Wednesday, November 03, 2004

As I mentioned before, I went to a halloween party (Bloody Yank celebration) . As Neo from the Matrix.

I had admit of trouble getting to the party was a bit of a problem, but once i got there i was rushed out for trick or treating, we (As in they, i just wait at the front door, why? Cos' wht impression would people get is a person dressed in black and a leather trenchcoat and sunglasses. Theyd think i'm death or about to rob their house) went door knocking. Some gave us lollies, one person gave us Cigerettes, and some of us tried to get some grog. Being the boring peron i am, i dont smoke (Filthy habbit) or drink (I dont like the idea of being out of controll of my actions). We chatted all the way around the streets.

Then we returned to Layla's house to party. I mostly sat around chatting, avoiding the punch, listen to music. Some people got pissed. Fran and I chatted under the stars. There were good nibbles. Even my English teacher couldn't recognise me with black hair.

I left at 11:30 Cheers

This is me as Neo from the Matrix, not the black hair! :) Well nothing much happened on Saturday, well I had to return the costume for the importance of being earnest, I didn't get the Deposit back, because there was a mystery spot on the pirate like shirt. Then Daniel called and then we started practicing for a play retelling the story between Saul and David. That's about it.

On Sunday, I went to church and performed the play for "Time with the kids", then went to youth group with the church of Christ youth (Note: There is a very good chance of there being a merger between Geensie Uniting and Greensie Church of Christ.), we discussed jealousy. Then there was a fine spread of food for morning tea *Woo Hoo*. Then I had to do DaPro (Data Projection) for a seminar on Depression. It was so boring, but I got some good tips. Chances are my dad had depression from what I learnt.

Not much to say about Monday (It was a student fee day) . Bought a bible (A nice leater-bound student bible) and a BBQ for cup day. Constructed the BBQ, well mostly, we didn't have the tools to construct one leg.

Tuesday: Melbourne cup day. We held a BBQ in terrible weather. We had to get through Mount salad-More. I invited Emily and Layla. We watched Red Dwarf. Naturally it rained while we were eating, and my horse did not come in first.

Today, Two Periods of Maths, Two Periods of Chinese history (We learned about communism, which I was I found strangely interesting), then walking class (That is all we do), well if the weather picks up we may go swimming. I considered changing schools to Plenty Valley Christian School, I am sick and tired of where out schools going (I'm my opinion, straight to hell in a hand basket).

Nothing more to say, Cheers
