Sin on a Steak

I know the idea of having a computer wouldn't really excite any of you out there since you've probably done this before, but I'm absolutely pumping cos I'm writing this on my new laptop - and this is a whole new thing for me!! Not only that, but I'm sitting on my bed in my room not attached to anything but I'm still on the internet - how cool is that!? Cooler even is that I'm not paying for internet, cheers T2.

So I finally made it into the same century as everyone else, are you proud of me? Big news for the week I say. Perhaps equally big news is that I've only got one more day of work at Dural Physio. Can you believe that? Again, probably, but it's still sinking in for me.

At least I can be content that if I achieved nothing else while I was there, I have introduced the next generation to the art of coffee service. Imagine if our Youth never experienced the joy and elation that the simple offer of coffee can bring to so many - what hope would there be? First they stop offering us coffee, then they refuse to change our nappies when we get old. Gotta think if the future here people.

And while we're on the subject of nappies for the aged, if you like someone, why can't you just say it? Nothing worse than elderly admirers acting like babies. So I'm young, so it could never work, it's ok - you won't be able to move on unless you bring it out in the open and get it off your chest. C'mon, we're all here for you. It'll only sting for a little while...

And finally, "Sin on a Steak". If we can't have a real quote-wall, I'm going to start an ongoing one right here for the world to see. The Gheever gets to kick thinngs off with the ever-curious "sin on a steak". Meaning: not sure. Suggestions: always welcome.

1 sleep till New Years...

In the Summer Time

Let's kick off with one of the best songs (and bands) for summer 05/06 - "In the Summer Time" by Thirsty Merc. I got this CD for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure this is my song for Summer this year. Way to go boys, love your work! (P.S. - I'm unemployed too)

Well a lot's happened since my last xanga blog, but I should start by saying a big thank you to you all for your support during the whole sermon fiasco. Upshot is, it got done, it had a pretty clear point, and I'm just left to keep praying for those people who heard it that God might bring them to faith.

Christmas was cruisy after Christmas Eve was over, and it was a memorable one too. My oldest brother Matt got engaged to Carolyn about 4 weeks ago, and we met her parents over Christmas while they were up from Melbourne. Within less than a second of meeting both of them and shaking their hands I knew they were great people. Easy going, no fuss, a little quiet, but beatiful hearts, that's how I'd describe them. It was cool chatting to them, I hope my in-laws are as easy to get on with (whoever they will be...).

Hogg's Breath for dinner last night, and it I was really glad Tristan could make it along. That guy rocks, I wish he wasn't moving to the city for uni next year. We'll still get to hang out though I'm sure.

Now that Christmas is over we can get to planning some holidays in January - ooo yeah! Perhaps a w/e in Umina, maybe a couple of days further north, possibly a day or two at summer school, then follow it up with a w/e in Kiama, waddayareckon? As long as I get some sun and sand I'm happy I reckon (some summer lovin' wouldn't go astray either, but we'll see what happens there hey...).

Ok, I haven't worked out how to put photos on here yet, but I'm told it's easy and it doesn't cost anything, so we should be looking more interesting soon. Be good, have fun. JT

(Countdown till my new laptop arrives - 2 days!)

does this thing work or what?
