TEMPTATION
BASE JUMP
Definition:
A parachute jump from extremely high structures and earth formations, typically involving heights under 305 meters (1,000 feet).
I think the biggest rush would be to base jump from a high cliff face. I saw on TV once these base jumpers free falling beside a waterfall doing front flips as they cascading to the bottom.
Tonight i saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and i must say that the fight scenes in this movie and everything to do with this movie rocked. It deserved every Oscar it received.
HYPER
I was just reading an article about a computer that can blow away all other supercomputers by 1000 times and be as big as a desktop machine. Click to read. The name of this new type of computer is called a hyper computer. Doesn't that sound a little stupid? Way back when they were inventing kick ass fast machines the engineers thought up a great name of supercomputer. Thats almost as bad as megacomputer. Now we have the next level of computers being called hypercomputers.
I guess if i invented it i would probably call it something stupid, but it would be a hell of lot better than hypercomputer. Its the same with stereo systems that have MEGA-bass or EXTRA-MEGA-bass or EXTRA-MEGA-SUPER-HYPER-bass. TEAC suck and are prime canidates for this.Its all marketing.
THINGS I HAVEN'T DONE
I will list just a few.
- Haven't jumped off bridge into freezing water at night after some beers with mates
- Haven't been dragged by a motorbike in a canoe.
- Haven't had head run over by sister on motorbike
- Haven't tried to break sound barrier on blades and crashed and burned.
- Haven't frozen a cricket ball the night before a grand final.
One thing i witnessed at the uni tav friday night was one of my friends greg proceeded to get someone in a strangle from behind and knocked this guy out accidently. He dropped to the ground and woke straight back up and thought he was out for 5 minutes. Pretty freaky. Damn i want some food.
SNOOZE JUNKIE
In recent years i have become a snooze junkie. For those who have no idea what i am talking about. Its hitting your alarm clock numerous times in the morning to prolong the event of getting up. Real snooze junkies have been known to hit the snooze button for up to 3 hours. I am not that bad as yet,but its getting worse. My girlfriend (pictured here) introduced me to this bad habit.
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM
Everything rocks right now. I love rocking moods! What has gotten me to this mood? Music. There it is again. Another thing that i think rocks is space. Call me a geek/freak/nerd if you want, like water off a ducks back. What the hell am i talking about? I am going for a blade tomorrow so its time to rotate my wheels. There is nothing like doing a new trick.
"Deliver me from Swedish furniture."
THEORY OF THE SILENT HELLO
Ok this is a strange way of saying hello that i have increasingly witnessed over my years at CSU. Let me explain it. I half kind of meet someone a couple of times, maybe even once, then me being a nice person that i am, keep saying hello to them each time i pass them, but when i say hello, they only mouth the words hello back, looking like a gasping fish. For months i just thought that these type of people were quite talkers, but then i tried an experiment. When i was about to pass this person i looked like i was going to say hello, but at the last minute i nodded and waited for them to say hello, but in fact it was just the silent hello.
MUSIC
Music is pretty damn amazing i must say. Without music, picture how dull living would be. You wouldn't have 'that' song to cheer you up in the morning or going out would just be a waste of time. Music can make you feel and do crazy things.
I listened to DJ Bexta just before i did a trick on my blades off some stairs that i had never tried before and broke my wrist, then did it again and landed it. It can make you feel heaps better or worse. Listening to music while you do sports is just crazy. Take some time and listen to some tunes.
MOVIES
Movies rock, especially in the cinema or on dvd. Here is a list of my favourites.
MOODS
I think today has been the biggest mood rollercoaster in some time. Its weird when you are in a normal average half-asleep zombie-mode like mood and pass someone,maybe that you don't even know and you can put in a better mood. Or when you are in a great mood and something you read or hear can put you in a i-want-to-be-destructive mood. That is my thoughts on this matter of moods. This is my destructive look.

TIRED
The worst thing that happens is when you are falling asleep in class. This was happening this morning and there is nothing to do to stop it, so i gave up and was sleeping and trying to listen at the same time. Even thinking about the latest Mclaren couldn't keep me awake. But now its over so everything is cool. I am talking shit because i think i am still asleep.
MATRIX
Here is the footage of what my friend did last year. Using 8 video cameras he created the same effect as what is used in the movie the Matrix. I helped him out by jumping around for a bit. Click to see.
Quote for the moment.
"Can't rain all the time" -Brandon Lee in The Crow
Brandon Lee was/is my idol, if there is such a thing.
TIRED
Another weekend has passed. Friday night was the full board pub crawl which was lots of fun. I dressed up as Dragon Ball and made my costume partly out of a womans dress that i bought for $4 and some other material. Well as you all probably already know that Mir space station did a perfect controlled burn to de-orbit and land in the ocean without killing too much. Go to here to check the video out. Did anyone realise that racecar spelt backwards is racecar?
LATE NIGHTS
Uni seems to bring out the late nights in me. My planned weekend of study and reasonably early nights turned into one big party.I also downloaded and have started to play the game Counter Strike, a very addictive game.

SPACED OUT
Last night was a little too big for me. My auto-pilot engaged zombie mode as i walked over the hill to class today, everything seemed like a futuristic Virtual Reality game (that part was cool). Its a very crazy time up in space at the moment with the Russian space station Mir going to be de-orbited on the 22nd of March, which should look pretty damn amazing. I will link the video when i can get it. This has No structure whatsoever.
CAFFEINE
As a member of Jolt Cola and drinker of the product i am recomending it to others who haven't tried it. Other new energy drinks rock as well but damn they are expensive and those small little cans.Obviously somebodies wonderful marketing creation which has probably made companies like Red Bull a shitload of money.
Things i would like to see with energy drinks:
- Bigger cans and bottles
- Huge open bit in top of can (slam it down fast)
- A drink that blows RedBull away
- Should be given out for free
- BRING BACK STRONGBOW BLACK
RUSH
Well I think I'm addicted to adrenaline. Yep definately. Tonight i was racing a car and a motorbike. Rolling side by side against my mates car just on dusk, then going as fast as the car will go till the finish line. My heart was pumping!
This rush today doesn't top my biggest rush which was jumping 11 stairs on my rollerblades with about 30 people watching. I had never jumped that many before so it was kinda full on. Pic of me jumping bins. Here is a video of me jumping some stairs (only 3 though) If you know of a good rush, let me know. :)
Diaryland sucks
Well the change over from crappyland has now taken place. CRAPPYland has stuffed me (and others) around too much, so instead of waiting for CSU to fix the proxy or whatever, i have changed to this.
Stay tuned.
