I am a bevan – The End

Published by SJ under General

I mentioned recently (on one of those sites where you type stuff) that I was going to see Eddie Vedder perform at the Qpac Concert Hall at Southbank. This was met with all sorts of comments fired back at me calling me a bevan and bogan and westy…. I am not to sure about the last one but if I am labeled a bevan or a bogan for liking this then let it be.

What were all those dreams we shared
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road

More than friends I always pledged
Cause friends they come and go
People change as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old

Slide on next to me
I’m just a human being
I will take the blame
Bust just the same
This is not me
You see
Believe
I’m better than this

Don’t leave me so cold
Or buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
And know I’m worth your love
Enough
I don’t think
There’s such a thing

It’s my fault, Now I been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don’t let me go

Help me see myself
Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
I yell
It’s hell
But no one hears

Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown futures ear

My dear
The End
Comes near
I’m here
But not much longer

Cheers to mfc172 (assume ‘my funny car’) for the awesome video with great sound

Jon Jones is a lock…. I hope

Published by SJ under General

In my humble opinion…..allow me to introduce to you the new Light Heavyweight Champion of the World, Jon ‘Bones’ Jones!! (Dude on the right for the n00bs…Moorey)

I have tried to explain this as best I can but I truly believe that a bet on Jon Jones is like betting on Mike Tyson in the lead up to his fight on the 22nd of November, 1986. Looking back there was no way in hell (even with acute Gonorrhea) Mike Tyson was going to lose to the late Trevor Berbick. If one were to watch all the lead up fights it would be crystal clear to all-n-sundry that Tyson was on another skill level compared to his compeition at that time.

I know Shogun is a great fighter and has accomplished a lot but I cannot help thinking back to his meteoric performances after previous returns from injury where he lost via tired submission to Forrest Griffin and squeaked passed a middle-aged Mark Coleman.

As far as cherries go, this is middle of the bat and four bits to the boundary.

With that in mind I have decided to put my nuts in a slingshot and whack half a gorilla on the challenging favourite. @ $1.57 I am not going to be rich afterwards (especially if I am proven wrong) but I look forward to the possible thrill of holding that winning ticket before the bell.

The more you put on the more you get back. Ticket as evidence (click to zoom).

Notasmartman = G’Banger-dropper of the Week

Published by SJ under General

I recently came across a couple of ladies who are on an interesting quest in life. They are scouring the earth looking at different dudes with the perspective of their G’Banger-dropping capabilities and then they write about it. It was an interesting two-on-one date to say the least so I let them have a crack and have put their responses here. Some liberties may have been taken.

Brooke’s View

Doability – He’s really not doable. Except that he knows this so he’s really kind of awesome in other ways. Which then makes him doable. It’s called the circle of doability.

Perceived Skills – The Truffle Shuffle, picking up heavy things and putting them down, super splashworthy belly flops.

Pet Name – Bubbles

Imagined Dream Date – Shirvo’s going to be making his bid at the Four’N Twenty Pie Eating Contest and of course I agree to go as his cheering section. While I know that he doesn’t stand a chance against Barry Rigby (the guy’s a friggin’ legend) I still think that Shirvo can represent. And boy does he. He comes in a respectable third place and we head home for the day so that Shirvo can digest. Sweet Lord does he digest. The sounds and smells coming from his body after downing 40 hot pies is more than I can handle. I spend the rest of the night with my head in the toilet. But on a positive note Shirvo brings me something to tie my hair back with. How considerate!

Long Term Relationship Potential – I’m gonna stick around with this one. I get addicted to resting my head on his belly. It’s like falling asleep on a pillow of clouds and angel kisses.

G’Banger-dropper Rating – 3 – Eh, why not?

Vicky’s View

Doability – Shirvo is the guy that is always in the background cause, you know, he doesn’t stand out as being particularly doable. But then, after you’ve spent eons dating douchebag after douchebag, you realize Shirvo has always been there to make you laugh and feel generally awesome about yourself. Then you start to say, “Hey! Was my knight in shining armor here all along???” Cue Vanessa Williams “Save the Best For Last.”

Perceived Skills – Always opens doors for the ladies, knows the location of every fast food restaurant within a 10 mile radius, calls old ladies M’am.

Pet Name – Muffin

Imagined Dream Date – Come on, it’s Shirvo! We’re going eatin’! Muffin takes me on a tour of the best restaurants in the city. He has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of good food, and we absoultely gorge ourselves. No culinary rock is left unturned. I invite Muffin by to my place for a little “nightcap” but we’re so bloated and full that we just end up sitting on the couch rubbing our engorged bellies. All in all, a good night.

Long Term Relationship Potential - Here’s the thing about a guy like Shirvo. Once you’ve been together for a while, you really can let yourself go cause, who is he to complain? Go ahead and have that extra piece of pizza. Dessert? Yes please!! Unfortunately, 10 years pass and you’ve got type 2 diabetes, you can no longer see your shoes, and you’re at risk for a heart attack. But hey, at least you’ll die full and happy.

G’Banger-dropper Rating – 3 – Eh. Why not?

Anyone who wants to play beat the SJ (thanks Dr) may also make a wager against me to see who finishes higher on the table at the end of the year. Drop me a line.

I will be putting up a results ladder up each Tuesday night at here.

Good luck and go my mighty Broncos!!!!!
