10 Years With The Same Bird
10 Years! That’s right, me and my 1993 Ford Falcon have been together for that long – no breakups, no arguments, no counselling – it’s been a real pleasure from day one.
After 10 years I can still say that my Falcon is the best bird going around.
Mine's not the Police Car version
Guard Dog Training
Some of the neighbourhood dogs have been making fun of Chester recently. Something about him not being able to back up his tough-guy looks with any action. One dog even accused him of “writing cheques that his ass can’t cash”. Which is such a labradoodle thing to say…
Anyway, in response to the aforementioned taunts, Chester and I have been doing some extra combat training incase the need to kick some ass ever arrives.
In the words of Martin Lawrence: “S**t just got real…”

That’s Dedication!
The man’s name is Dan Hanna.
His project has been to take 2 photographs of himself every day using a home-made rig… for the last 17 years!!
The rig he lugged wherever he went:
Dedication!

Procrastinators (like me) need to stop making dumb excuses for their laziness
I’m a seasoned procrastinator. Here are some of my dumb excuses for my lack of productivity:
- I’m a dreamer. If I focus on productivity it’ll ruin my creativity.
- I’ll better last the distance if I ‘pace myself’.
- Doing some ‘fun stuff’ first will motivate me to work.
- I’m just multi-tasking.
What are some of your stupid excuses for wasting time?

I don’t embed many video clips on this blog, but I can’t help it…

Making fat food healthy
I just negotiated a brilliant culinary windfall.
On the way home from my involuntary, biennial dental appointment my salt-dependent brain decided that it was time to visit my favourite chicken-fryin’ Colonel.
As I approached the turn-off to calorie Mecca I halted. This was weird…
I started to think about my current body condition. “Honestly man, you’re starting to chub-up around the waist, aren’t ya?” – I told myself derogatorily.
“And hasn’t Renee specially gone out and purchased wholemeal pita bread and healthy ’salad-like’ produce for you to eat for lunch? Well, hasn’t she?” – I continued.
And then it occured to me…
What if I were to purchase one of the Colonel’s finger-lickin’ good meals, and then combine them with my wife’s healthy produce?
I felt that I’d discovered something that I’d been searching for all my life.
It must be done!
I screeched out of the drive-thru like a bank robber with grease-laden-booty-in-bag.
The meal preparation was brief:
Pita bread open.
Bag of KFC emptied into bread.
Lettuce leaves scattered.
Cheese on top.
Pita bread closed.
It was heavenly. And quite obviously… healthy too.
It all reminds me of this very accurate commercial from the States:
St. Jude’s Cellars
St. Jude’s is a great Anglican church in inner-city Carlton, Melbourne.
It would, however, be even cooler if it bought this little bottle shop on Brunswick Street…
Imagine the savings on communion wine!!
Calvin Clock
Regular Calvin-bashing readers of this blog will love the addition of the Calvin 500 birthday count-down clock that I’ve added to the bottom right of this page.
Set your watches…
Friday Night Perfection
Just spent the evening with a great Christian brother:
Working on my car, drinking German beer, eating a kilogram of steak and watching the classic 1967 war film, The Dirty Dozen.
It cannot get any better than that, eh?
Come Thou Fount
Another great E-Pop tune for your enjoyment…
I love the old hymns played with an indie edge!
Do yourself a favour and download some tracks from one of the Mars Hill bands (for free!) from here.

iPhone Fasting
From this day forward my iPhone will be powered off from 6pm to 6am.
My wife rejoices!
I’m through with Christianity
Interesting post from Geoff Surrat.
