I’ve been to a party and I’m hammered! Why? Cause I can be ** Hammerd is another work for drunk if you didn't know.
My mate Alison had her b’day party this evening – not seen her really since she quit work and went to work for another place. Caught up with people I’ve not seen in what feels like forever – but had an awesome night
Now I’m home pulling through this the spell checker as I can’t rely on my own typing/spelling to get me through it. Meh care factor of fuck all
Ang , Matt and Rep – of you’re reading this I want you to know that I love you heaps and I sent you all e-mail
I saved a life today. I was on my way out with my mum and came across an accident (single vehicle) a man and his wife towing a trailer came over a hill and round a sharp bend and lost control flipping down an embankment – We (my mum and I) seen it – turned around and went back to help – I pulled the lady out of the car, administered first aid and called the ambulance – another young man who had stopped called the tow trucks. We stayed with them both (husband was fine) until the ambulance arrived – gave statements to the police and carried on our way.
I’m thinking now due to my good deed I MUST be due for some good karma now!
Whilst out on my day off getting retail theory with my mum I purchased the follow
6 new shirts for work 2 new non work shirts – Jack’s and Etnies t-shirts 1 Case (4 x 24 can’s) of Smirnoff ice double blacks 3 DVD’s – Romper Stomper – The Castle and American History X 1 Signature Picture frame for my B’day ( having a HUGE B’day bash in Feb – planning to have a group photo of everyone who is attending it – then get them to sign it)
My mum bought a new pair of shoes – 2 shirts, and a pair of ¾ length pants ( or trousers where ever you are in the world!)
I came home and unpacked the above mentioned stuff – have since consumed 2 cans – watched the women’s semi final tennis ( Clisters V Sharapova) Sharapova won.
I’m now online – checking my mail. I did however watch an Australian movie last night called 2:37 – if you can rent it – do! One of the most thought provoking movies I’ve seen in some time – it’s very in your face so be prepared for it – I think all Film and TV teachers should be showing their senior classes this movie – with parents permission of course as it has an R rating – as once you‘ve seen it you’ll understand why.
Anyway – It’s stopped raining so I’m off to take my dog for a walk
So another day over - and another drink consumed. I didn't drink for almost 4 years and then when I started with the job I'm at - what do you know I'm back on it. More so since I've been moved to the butt-fuck Idaho office!
I'm addicted I'm addicted to Smirnoff Vodka blacks for those who don't know – are 2.0% per can – so that basically means that for every ONE can you drink it's like having Two drinks – Three and I'm pretty Pissy ( 6 drinks in total) Four cans and I'm fucked! – I've consumed 2 so far ( I can still type reasonably well – though thank god for spell check!) I'm also addicted to You Tube - I watch it at work I watch it at home, I watch YOUTUBE at the weekends - I talk on the phone to my brother and we compare YOU TUBE video tags so we can both watch them at the same time – talk about needing a fucking life ( or a girlfriend!)
My favourite for today is (hopefully it will work!) is the OK! Go video clip with the treadmills - I love how the minds of these guys work - truly cracks me up. Brilliant concept – and well just cool as shit!
Anyway I've drank too much - I'd best get off here before I talk more shit. – Hmmm what should I eat for dinner?
For me X-mas was quiet – New Years was quiet – I'm quiet
I was back at work this week JOY after having a break between x-mas and new years – the perks for working for the government!!
Anyway – first day in – was struggling – second day I was about ready to go postal on people yet again – I need a new job! Seriously!!
I went to the bank in my lunch break and got a statement to find out how much I owe on my car – I've got $10,000 left to pay – I'm confident I can have that paid off by September / October time – so once that's cleared it's goodbye current job – hello new one. That's of course if I LAST that long with out fucking going insane! After Wednesday I seriously thought I'd need to be medicated just to get by!
Anyway – I found this quiz online through a search for something can't remember what anymore – but I've put it on here below this shit.
It’s 9:36pm Wednesday the 13th of December where I’m writing this from – I DID have tickets to see Robbie Williams this evening ( See Pic below)
However I’m not at the aforementioned concert for two reasons. In the last week I’ve had mammoth trouble with my migraines – Off work – dark rooms – lots of drugs. So Monday morning as I had my head in a bucket – I had to make a decision as to if I was going to make it to said concert on this evening. (Right now actually!!!)
Anyone who knows me knows I’m passionate about a few things – Dr who – is one of them – but Robbie Williams is up there also – I busted a nut (well my best mate Aidy busted his nut) to get me tickets to Robbie’s concert which sold out in 6 minutes!!! But he managed to get in and get some for me ;) So it was the hardest phone call I’ve had to make in some time to call him up and say to following words Aidy – I don’t think I’m going to be able to go to Robbie Williams – My head is fucked and I don’t think I’ll make the 3 hour drive to you without getting a blinding headache
On top of that – loud music / flashing lights / HUGE crowds / HEAT ( This is Australia in summer!) isn’t a good combo for migraines headaches that come on out of no where for no reason ( I was washing the dog Sunday and got one! WASHING the dog!!!)
There was a pause on the end of the phone – His reply - Sal honey that’s got to be the hardest thing for you to call me up and say that (would be like missing Cliff’s farewell tour!) but it's cool - we'll sell the tickets and I'll come down and see you at the weekend.
He sold the tickets to a couple of friends who hopefully are having the best fucking time of their lives right about now.
The second reason..
My friend Janet died this week – a very long brave battle with cancer ended on Monday night at about 11:15pm – She just slipped away – sad as it is that she’s dead – she’s no longer in pain, and for her she’s in a better place now ( She was a religious girl) so I hope she’s up there looking down on us all ( especially Robbie! – as she too was a fan!)
It’s not until you loose someone close to you that you realise how precious life is. It’s strange – I’ve got my Nanna staying at the moment she’s 86 and showing signs of dementure – and I think I don’t want to be old. I sat and listened to my mum talk of my pop today and how he got so frustrated with himself when his body just won’t do what his mind is telling it too – He’s got Parkinson’s and it will eventually kill him, mum told me of what happened with him this morning, how he wanted his feet to move forward to take a step so he could walk away from the car to his appointment, but he feet just wouldn’t move forward – they would move up and down like he was marching on the spot, but wouldn’t move forward. I just burst into tears. Someone you love and admire going through something that you can’t help them with is fucked.
So as I sit here – sad depressed and lonely – over an array of things from the simplistic trivial things of missing a concert due to my headaches, to losing a friend to cancer who died far too young, to watching my nan stare off into oblivion, or my pop cry because he can’t make his feet move forward to take a step.
I hope where ever you are. Whoever you are reading this – you’re all happy and well.
So this is a wrap up of my life in the past month since my last update on October 9th ( yes yes I can hear the slack arse shouts from here!)
Okay – My brother his wife and my little nephew where in my area for a visit – went and spent a week at the beach near where I live they had an awesome time – I took time off work to hang out and spend time with them. Please see pics below
Little Jack at the beach
My Nan celebrated her 86th birthday – we put on a lunch for her – She had a wonderful day and it’s a bit of a milestone – she never thought she’d make 86 – but she did which is kinda cool (see pics below)

I’ve been off work, had skin cancers cut out of me ( no pics of those sorry!) in that time it’s enabled me to watch endless episodes of Dr Who the new series ( loved the old ones – Tom Baker was my favourite from the 80’s) however, there is a new series out written by Russel T Davis ( Queer as folk) I’ve watched it on the Tele – but bought the DVD’s last week in the lead up of doing sweet FA while recovering from my stab wounds! I’ve found in this time that I’ve become somewhat taken by David Tenant! He’s a little hottie – enough to make a girl turn!!! Pair him up with Billie Piper – and Whoa what a 3 way! ( up there with David and Gillian from the x-files!—Hey to Matt!!!)
Anyway – I’m padding this out with pics of David Tennant (AKA “The Doctor” - #10 to be precise!) and Billie Piper who plays Rose in series 1 and 2 – she’s left now ( sad ep!)
Hope you’re all well
I’m back off to the couch to rest!
Be good See Pics below ( descriptions below Image)

Flew to our Nations Capital Canberra last week – Landed in 80 Km/ph cross winds. Welcome to Canberra!!
I had an awesome week in Canberra – did all the tourist things went to the Mint – where they print all the money, went to the science centre, did parliament house ( Old and new) did the museums, the art gallery's , film and TV archives, National Archives ( Had a way cool Dr WHo Exibit!) etc etc – but the one place that had the most impact for me was the Australian War Memorial – I went there every day. 1st day in Canberra I went there – spent the entire day there and didn't get to see everything – went back in the afternoon ( After lunch) each day following, ( tues - thurs) finally left feeling as though I'd seen everything thoroughly – it was a very emotional place – made you stop and realise how lucky you have it. I've taken a picture of the memorial wall of remembrance. (see image below) The names go on and on for ever, and that's only ONE wall.
Anyone thinking of coming to Australia, Canberra is a must see destination, anyone who is Australian who's reading this Canberra is a must see destination. It's not until you see and read first hand what our troops have been though in the various wars we've been involved with, that you realise the freedom you enjoy today it all thanks to them.

Yup – that’s the diagnosis from the operation I had yesterday. I’ve got a herniated oesophagus. The after effects of the OP are still wearing off, however hopefully something can now be done about my ‘oesophagus’ problem ( I’m now on meds once a day) GOOD news is it’s not anything nasty like cancer! And my stomach ulcer I once had seems to have healed itself – which made me laugh with the amount of COKE I drink and alcohol.
I’ve had two days off work – loving it to bits
On a whole OTHER note I got word today that someone who used to be a big part of my life has once again messed up a relationship and is once again single. I wonder when she’s going to wake up and smell the roses and figure out the problem is HER no one else but HER – go get your bloody mental illness in check and MAYBE just MAYBE you’ll be able to have a successful relationship – I know one thing is for sure – don’t bloody bother contacting me – I’ve moved on and also woken up to the fact that you only ever contact me when things are shit in your life and you need someone to cheer you up – as I stated above – I’ve moved on and I’m NOT falling / slipping / being dragged back into that big black hole again.
I’m off the grog for 2 weeks – it will be hard having to actually GOTO work, and not come home and 'wind' down. But I’ll survive.
This time it's Bacardi breezers (only the orange ones) no lunch 4 Breezers on an empty stomach and I'm fucked – yes I'm typing this in word so I can fix the little red underlines before posting it to the web.
I had a shit day to-day though it started Tuesday when a client THREW his application at me – like fuck me boy that's going to help you get a job you fucking fuck tard! ( I didn't say that but throught it!) Consequently he's not been successful in gaining that position!) Then today – I had this fucking wanker ring the bell when I was sitting there – I asked him nicely not to ring the bell explaining that when the other staff hear the bell they assume there is no one at the reception and come out – he looked me in the eye and rang it again! I said if you ring that again I won't serve you!. What did he do – yup ding ding ding he rang it again – I said right – thanks for your visit there's the door – (taking the bell from the counter) He said "you can't fucking tell me to leave"– I responded with "please don't swear at me sir" - He said "I'll fucking say what I like" – that was it button in my head pushed to red – My respeonce "well then you can say whatever the fuck you want out the front fucking door now fuck off " – (lifting the telephone) "or do I need to call the police!!!"
He left calling me an fucking C and blah – I walked him out the door closing it behind him stating "fuck off and don't come back!!!" I locked the door behind him – my manager appeared out of no where at this time – and was like err what's going on! – Explained the situated – he backed me ( thank god!) Day finished about 45mins later ( I unlocked the doors) came home – via the off licence and drank… now I'm here
On a totally DIFFERENT note – the parental body is back from their long anticipated trip to Longreach (otherwise known as the back of buttfuck Idaho!) they enjoyed themselves and seem happy to be home after a month's absence.
Got the 'nanna' staying atm – she cracks me up – I say to her what did you do today Nan (Direct quote I promise you!!!) Fuck all!! Laugh my arse off when old people swear – just seems so 'naughty' but she cracks me up all the time.
Anyway – I should eat – and take my sorry arse to bed.
