Best Croatian Chant:
You're red, you're white you're going home tonight.

Well I'm not sure if anything has happened in the world in the last week except for the Socceroos amazing triumph, ok it was a draw but thats only cause we gave them a chance by selecting a keeper with a depth perception problem, and England sending over a ref who is both short-sighted and has short-term memory problems.
Also the Croatians need to change their playing strip cause it seems to be giving their coach epileptic fits.

Writing this blog is leaving me a little depressed trying to think what i've accomplished in the last week, but i've thought of a few things now,

I'm learning how to play the bass guitar, it is quite posibly the easiest instrument in the world, i was original recruited to play the triangle but that ended in disaster and 3 unrelated trips to the emergency room so i switched to the bass, its quite amazing 90% of songs involve either long extended breaks or strumming the same note 8 to 16 times, I'll post a tab below

The Chorus to U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

Chorus
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---2------0----------------------------------------|
|-----------------1------3--------------------------|

Actually I'm over exagerating, it is pretty tough to get right with some songs, but really as long as the ladies love it who am i to complain.

Ok, for a bit now I'm going to write a few things and it is up to you, yes just you, not those other poor saps reading this, you know you are the only one i care about, so it is up to you to decide what true and what is a variation of the truth aka false.

- I got a $50 tip at work yesterday
- I got fired for stealing $50
- I went to Sydney to watch the soccer
- I used my $50 to get a hooker

Best Music at the Moment:
I'm a little behind the times on this one but the Modest Mouse album is excellent, i think it doesn't get the cred it deserves because of the band name being crap, but i could be biased because of the Newy band Mousemoon being crap.

Hero of the Week:
Guus Hiddink - If he is not Australian of the year I'll eat my hat. I'm sure there is some technicality stopping him put in by some right wingers.

Loser of the Week:
More then a week but every ref that we had in the group stage and if i know those Italians as well as i think I'm sure they're rigging the next game as we speak.

Well i thought i should get on the blog bandwagon that seems to be sending the kids crazy these days. All my friends have been saying 'Simon, your life is so interesting that we feel guilty that you are sharing it just with us and not the whole world' actually thats not entirely true or even the slightest bit true but it doesn't make it less of a fact. But really its more that i've grown sick of the disinterested look in the faces of the people i talk to, the distant stares, the rolling of the eyes, etc, so to do away with all that i've turned to the marvellous world of blogs so i no longer have to face it.
There is a 95% chance that this blog will last not more then 5 posts, but we all have to start on the road to C grade minor celebrity and i feel this could give me the exposure I so truely deserve.
I'm already blanking for stuff to write, as the modest person i am i don't feel all that comfortable writing about everything i've been doing, so I'll write the long version of what I've been doing recently and use Microsoft Work Auto Summarise to cut it down into a more consise version.

Simons Life Viewed Through The Eyes of Microsoft Word Auto Summarise:
So over the weekend i managed to do very little, i attempted to do some home screenprinting of some World Cup themed shirts, which worked ok. Long story sho.
Last night we watched the Australia Brazil game and got mildly trashed which led to a day of hangover and sleep deprevation. Australia played pretty well even though they lo.

I think i'll just spend the rest of this post on random stuff.

Mid Aged Man with Herpes - obviously honest.

I'm planning on starting a boycott of 2nur, The newcastle university radio station. This may be difficult cause i don't listen to it and no one i know listens to it, so i can't just stop listening to it, but i'm thinking of some sort of protest. My problem with it being, other then that they won't give me my own radio show no matter how many times i've never asked for one, anyway my problem is that the average age of presenter is about 113 years old, with them playing hits that my Nan calls 'Old Skool' (sic) . I think it should be aimed at Students by Students so if you want to join the crusade to make the world a better place by avoiding all the big issues drop me a line, my credit card number is 8724 4822 7474 7J3$.

Fred, poor kid, all the other brazillians get to have Ronald in their name, so he shall now be known as Ronaldfredo.
