today i found out how hard it is to cook wedges. well it wasn't anything really hard, it was just, more time consuming than i'd originally thought. i'm still to figure how mum prepares her wedges effortless tasting a million times better than any of my burnt shrivilled up pieces of cardboard look alikes. i guess mine didn't taste "too" bad, i actually tasted my efforts in them, spent about an hour cooking them i did. turning them every 3 minutes for some stupid reason. ohh well, the wedges would of ended up in my stomach anyway, was a good feed.
slide is pretty mean hard ay. we browsing around xanga.com to gather ideas to improve ma blog and came upon an ingenious idea that is slide. it's just a niffy little photo uploader gadget which makes your pictures look cool. you can use it for anything ay; ya website, your blog and even have pictures flying around on your computer in a real cool fashion. check it out.
just something i wanted to share.
damn, last night blogger scared the shit out of me. it wouldn't allow me to post anything due to some server being down. after searching the net for some help i found that people with the same problem had it solved 4 months later. luckily it's all good now. no more trying to convert to wordpress ay.
today was hot. it was just one of those days which your not supposed to do anything, or move at all at that. the weather report showed that brisbane hit 31 degrees today and that it was snowing in canberra, whoa, someone really fucked it up ay. ohh well, i guess that's just the effects of global warming ay, can't wait till we hit summer. today was just boring ay. after letting our brains slowly mush in front of the television for however many hours it was, my sister figured that it would be quite amusing to dress cola up in a singlet and skirt. it was pretty entertaining to see her attempt to dress a 30 kilo rotty crossed with a german shepherd; not that it's a big dog or anything, she's just weak. hahaha. as a big brother, i sat and laughed at her. she managed to get cola dressed after my assistance and we were off; to be entertained by a dog trying to walk in a skirt.
minutes of fun: 5
the blood around my body seems as though it’s all suddenly concentrated in the area of my chest. the thumping of my heart had suddenly increased, my palms feel sweaty, and my stomach feeling as though i’m pregnant and the kids inside are getting really hungry. all i can hear are the muffled voices of the crowd and my conscious screaming at me to calm the fuck down. all i can see is a dense structure composed of pretty much half of the opposition’s team. what to do next is only determined after the 
referee’s rising of his arm and the blowing of his whistle. the only things going on inside my head are the random jumbled words of success and failure and the questioning upon which will become reality. the chemical signal received by my brain has finally translated itself to that of the noise of a high pitched squeak, passed through the air by auditable waves by the referee’s game whistle. the mud painted oval shaped object can be seen leaving the hands of…..
yeah, i still remember that game in the photo. i think it was against gregory terrace..i'm surprised i even remembered that. probably the biggest hit on me all season. after catching the ball in that photo, i ran it hard and got nailed by i think their tighthead. i had trouble seeing for a while after that. state high rugby was great fun. gives you the opportunity to work and grow with your teammates as well as keeping numbers off the scales.
yeah the photo is pretty dodgy, i haven't got anything better than the photo above from http://www.garylynagh.com/Galleries/gtvbsh3xv/index.htm, proffessional photography (i gotta buy the print to get rid of that writing; stink ay)
it’s hot, the air is humid and the rocking of the boat from consistent harmonic motions of the water waves has finally taken toll on my stomach. the blue canopy appearing above when my eyes part, only just protects my greasy sun creamed body from the blazing sun. dad’s sitting about a ruler’s length from me, exhausted as a result of the weather though very observant on the four rods resting over the side of the boat. when I was young, many an in seasoned tailor or tilapia weekend early morning or nearing dusk day, dad and I would be out either on the boat or sitting on wet morning grass waiting for the fish to bite or more a rather, hoping. Today was the first day i’d been fishing with dad since last years summer holidays when between the two of us we had caught sixteen, kilo plus sized tilapia; the most we had ever caught in one go....
goal no. 161; shave my head
completed
yeah, i was supposed to shave my head for a good cause but woke up one day and decided to just shave it. i guess hair grows back so there will be heaps more other opportunities. shaved it with a bunch of mates for some unknown reason. it's not "really" a complete shave but i guess it will have to do for now till i properly razor it.
goal no. 1; find a job
completed
ever since i wrote this goal, i've worked at three different places. my first real job was over at the bean sprouts factory after grade twelve was finished. the pay wasn't something you would die for but it was a great experience. it was good to work under a great boss and to make new friends.
just something i stumbled upon while searching youtube. john foreman, from one of ma favourite bands, switchfoot, performing the acoustic version of meant to live.
after watching v for vendetta i've finally realised through the movies portrayal of a utopian society ruled by the corrupt and heartless government; that i've made up my mind and will conclude that no matter what it takes, i will find that mask. not really. the movie was heaps buzzy ay. it really does try to make you compare our current world with that of the movie. i'm not quite sure what mood i was in after watching that movie but it put me in a state which questioned many things about our government; well to be more truthful, it was really about how our world leaders dealt with recent world incidents which have occured. when i slowly recollected the past events which occured within our present world, it really did start to resemble those orwellian concepts shown in the movie; the powerfully government controlled media and such which helped to shape the small peoples opinions to those which opposed their own and ideas of being watched and monitored at any particular time also emerged. hmm, just something i wanted to share. it's a good movie.
goal no. 5; go skydiving
completed
redcliffe city skydiving certificate: this is to certify that ly truong has successfully completed a tandem skydive from 14000 ft. over redcliffe, queensland, australia on this the 2nd of July. was a great day lance man, hope ya had a good one.
while snooping around deviant art last night i'm amazed how some people can create gorgeous pieces of art using nothing but the swift manevouring and slight click of a computer mouse. after gathering inspiration from the many insane pieces of magic i gave it ago myself and to my expense i have realised that talent is something you cannot learn, as you can see from my embarrasing attempt of simple writing...it was just not meant to be....
here's a piece i found on devinat art i'ld like to share with you. it's a little scary and out there but i guess that's what makes it great. damn, the more i look at it, the more i like it; enjoy the biting pear of salamanca by artist ursulav:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29677500/?&q=pear&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5.
haha yeah just to point out and i guess to add salt to my wound in that i have no artistic abilities what so-ever, i wrote the above on my new tablet which although does not assist me in creating insanely hypnotizing art, does however entertain me to use it and scribble mindlessly for hours without wasting any paper or ink. just something i wanted to point out.
just want to wish ma mate justine a real mean 18th birthday. wish ya to have the ability to party all night long and that ya enjoy the new privileges of being 18.
turning the handle of your bedroom door has never taken any effort until your need to shit out last nights dinner comes to the point where there is only a second between having clean underwear or a hand full.
independence means washing your own clothes and having them shrink two sizes smaller in the dryer.
a friend shared a scenario with me one night we were out, to ask of my opinion. would you rather be blind or deaf? when compared; the advantages and disadvantages of each outweigh one another very differently especially when relied on a particular person. i told him i would hate to be blind although after his reply, i now realise that i would rather not see than to be deaf. he explained that one cannot judge when they are deaf; more so, they can only judge the inner beauty of objects as inner is exactly described, none of such physically or tangibly appealing traits, just the beauty from the heart.
