Next Friday
My god, this ancient computer back in Booker Bay, the colour scheme of Windows '98 that we left on this relic is a very 70's brown and dark brown, and it whirrs away like there's two hamsters on their wheels, whenever I do something, like type a D. I'm all alone, there's no-one here beside me.... which is why I'm saying next friday! I'll finish work at 4, so anytime after that's cool, thinkin drinkin in the city then catchin a bus back to mine for more drinking, there'd be singstar if I hadn't spent the money on a washing machine instead, but hopefully y'all be too drunk to notice as you pass out on the carpet. it's only a $1.40 or so student fare from central station, and I wanna see y'all there... damn gold coast trip that died, when i agree to something in a drunken stupor, i expect to be forced to do it.posted by Keegan at 3:47 pm ... 0 comments

Just on Tom's Quiz....Matches
The following items best match your score:
System: Socialism
Variation: Extreme Socialism
Ideologies: Social Democratism
US Parties: No match.
Presidents: Jimmy Carter (79.99%)
Yay Carter! Don't know about extreme socialism, I'm not that extreme... there's a bit more Individual Resposibility in my view of How The World Should Be. But Carter was a good president, world would've been different if the hostage crisis had gone different... Kim Stanley Robinson again.

Learning Cuervo
That was the most awsomest thing I've ever been paid for - I was opening beers all night for cheery punters, there to see Velvet Revolver. Opened about ten cases worth, while the server girl collected the money, and the pourer made the spirit drinks. Next Saturday will be a bit tough though - a 9pm-10am shift, for Mardi Gras. Kev and I are gonna have a bet to see who gets the most phone numbers, and we're guessin we'll serve a lot more cruisers than beers. This makes next friday seem a good idea for the Warming that's going cold, If y'all still down with it.Little meaningless posts, but hey, it's all that's goin down atm. unless you wanna hear about the new plugs we bought, or the TV I missed last night because of work (Battlestar Glactica Rules! and I'm gonna miss Lost too!), And A week's a long time without friends round- Hope to see Kate and Mei at lunches come monday... I'll drive.

Postponement
Working Tonight, and Thursday Night, Friday Night's Bad and Saturday some will be in the gold coast, so y'all have to visit another time. see how the first week of uni goes, adn then maybe next friday? could that be good? Post comments on this, I'll try to look every other day or so, or send me SMS - there's a free site, www.sms.ac , which gives you five free sms a day, just make sure you don't sign up for premium. but I want y'all to come on down, it's a great little place. we walked to wil anderson at the roundhouse last night, funny shit. we're both desparate for messenger, so i think we'll be getting a home phone line and a hook up to the net at home soon enough. If there's anythin goin down on the coast, I'm up for it, wednesday nights, despite the trek back to mac 9am thurs...other than that, Oil's up againwith china's continuing growth, and a litttle piece in the AFR reminded me that in 2001, Oil hit a low of $17.45bbl - compared with the $48.45bbl it's at now, it doesn't seem likely to fall so low again. dreams of even US$30bbl are fading away like desert mist, so don't expect too many opportunities to buy at the pump for under 100 cents a litre.

Posting From The Ether...
I'm stealing bandwidth from my brother's uni and posting a little hello to y'all, the place is even better now- can people play on thursday? i'll message all soon to confirm, but me thinks that's when i'll be able to have housewarming, seeing as I'm working on wednesday - yes working - at the Horden, which I'll have to inform centerlink about. Things are going great with Ash, and Youse better be real about that Gold Coast Road Trip, We could do it from friday morning after housewarming/breaking whatever y'all are into.Peace out, i'm sure to go more political once uni's in, and I've checked the price of oil once or twice...

Mmm... Sacreligious
for the first time in almost two years, I ate chicken on tuesday. Portugese chicken to be precise, from Ogalo in Kensington. And God, it was like sex, an orgasm of taste so powerful I couldn't see straight. I should mention I was a vegetarian, and the cravings have consumed me over the past month or two, and while I still despise the meat industry, all the pain and pollution and disease it causes, man, that chicken was like Barbequed Cocaine. I've eaten one every day since, but I'll give it a break tomorrow, hopefully. Cos it's a real adventure tomorrow, but maybe more of that later. some moments to treasure just for myself and...posted by Keegan at 10:13 pm ... 0 comments

Giggling Like A Little School Boy
Things have just fallen into place this past week - I've moved out, Got a Job, and started talking to Ash again, something I'd been wanting to do for years.We did the fridge today, and it was pretty cool holding all the weight and kev and his mate on the other end goin, oooh, you're holding so much weight. I rule. Then a 2.5 Hr drive to morriset to say hi to Ash again, it was so worth it. Boring being back at the Parental Unit, especially because I can't get the simpsons while mum's watching ER, and I can't watch Lost either! should've gone all the way back to Kenso House (The Official Name), but figured I should at least scrounge some more crap from this place to drag off to Kenso. Well Evie, Let Your Hair Hang Down.

A.A. Meetings
I know I drink quite a bit more than I should, and a lot of that is societal. In a nation of underage binge drinkers, Sobriety is an unfamiliar state. But alcoholic? I'm doubting that. When I drink, I get drunk, but I never feel the need to drink, and I don't always feel like getting drunk, and one can easily be enough. I don't feel that alcohol causes problems for me socially - I don't get agressive, though I might get a little slutty, I'd like to be a little sluttier sober. Binge Drinking isn't the same as being an alcoholic, though alcoholics may binge drink. This little introspection (ta mei), changed my mind - I'm not as bad as some, I enjoy alcohol in moderation and excess, because moderation should be taken in moderation, and I don't feel that it affects my life negatively.If you think you have a drinking problem, visit Here. Help is where you find it, but this could help.

Jungle Juice
mmm... Guaranteed Elephant Repellent. The party was pretty good, and I had a nice long guilt trip, the same one I've been on for... three years and four months. That's the Formal, Ppl. Tomorrow's the Big Day, getting the keys to the place, and I is really excited, though housewarming will be lucky to make it to friday, I'd really rather have it wednesday but fate is conspiring against me. I'm less hungover than Wednesday, and I'm going fridge hunting with dad very shortly, so the Parentals can score a shiny new one, and me and the Bro can whisk away Ye Olde Faithful. I'm in the middle of a Msg convo with Cathy, and I'm running out of the house now!posted by Keegan at 1:06 pm ... 0 comments

Cleaning Out My Closet
Lotta clothes that are still wearable, but I won't wear them, it's time to get rid of the junk so maybe i'll have some space for clothes I wear in the new place. It's daunting, but exciting, a different world out there, one where I have bills other than mobile... which reminds me, haven't got one in a while, and i'm not sure when it's due. this is turning into a really rambling blog, but My mind has started to ramble. It's spending a lot of dozing off time trying to think of little known bits of american politics that may or may not come in handy impressing cute female politics students - a rare breed I know, but there could always be a few Natasha Stot Despoja's(sic) hanging about...anyway, gotta drink tonight, gonna be fun. yay Glen's 21st. Still hard for me to express anger in any form, always been that way. the one time i yelled back at a bully in primary school, it was so much I was hyperventilating for half an hour, I just couldn't cope with being angry. Revenge is a dish best served cold, as they say, but I usually forget I left it in the fridge untill it's gone off. Mwahahahah. ah hah. ahem.
in other news, Oil rises as demand rises and non-opec production falls. lot of predictions as to when breaking point is, and I'll so be there, at the cusp of the apocalypse, yelling "I TOLD YOU SO!"
BTW- In the Event of the apocalypse, let the idiots break into the electronics stores - head for a pharmacy and grab all the anti-biotics you can, and the Pharmacolgy Guide. Worth more than gold when the survivors start getting sick and wanting to live.

Movin On...
I despaired and messaged Erin, and she msg'ed back, saying she feels better this way, and it is relief in a way, Love that hurts too much to stay together. Got awful drunk wednesday night, absinthe was involved and that's always fun... ended up giving my number to leonie who was out of all the exes I was suprised to see, and Kari gave me hers, she must've been drunk, she missed me way more than you're meant to miss someone. good to see her though. maybe call today, say hi, see how drunk she was, if i was drunker.I did a massive Taxi, bust my corona, and I took the flak, I must be getting old. the rest of the night was funded by Glen Inc., and he'll be funding a few more nights if I get my way...
by the end of the week I should be enrolled at mac in the two subjects for the next semester, most exellent.

A Week On
Sure does take some time, I heard Jenny read the last post, Hi Jen. I've not talked to Erin since her last words - "I'll try not to fuck up anyone else's life". I think we're both trying to take the blame, and I think that's fair. She said I was perfect as a boyfriend but Introspection's told me that I bombed out a lot. I don't think she wants to talk to me cos she knows that leads to the inevitable get together, cos the love hasn't died. But the trust is gone, and the romance she deserved wasn't there. Her mum tells me she's going okay, and I had a great time out last night, so we're both in better places, I hope. I still want to hear from her that she's okay, that she's not feeling she's totally guilty. A lot of shit went down before it happened.I'm moving out, hopefully by the end of my week, with my brother and my dad supporting us till we get jobs where we're goin. I'll have a degree by the end of the year in politics at Mac (Yay Mac!), and I'm only doing two subjects this coming semester, so I'm hoping I'll be filling a lot of that spare time with study and fulfilling work. I think I might be actually growing up, though a lot of teenage impulses still try to drive me, I'm holding them off. Most of them. I want to change the world, and I hope I can...

Dance And Drink And Screw Cos There's Nothing Else To Do
Fuckit, Welcome to the pain of me. Nearing two years, I put all i could into the relationship, and i'm too perfect, and she has to kiss someone i know to make me see the light, that we never talked, that love isn't enough, that being a good boyfriend isn't enough when she feels like shit and feels like she doesn't deserve me. She's on anti-depressants now, and I can't help her by being me, and being there for her, and i don't fucking get it but i can't stand it anymore, not no more. I could forgive her for what she did in europe, but not here, with me 100m away, asleep, hoping everything was going to get better. It didn't. It can't. I dragged it on, and i dragged someone else into it, and that wasn't fair. It was dead the day she left, and the candle I kept lit for her has snuffed out. I can't carry this anymore.posted by Keegan at 9:35 am ... 0 comments
