To set the scene I decided to go for a run last night hoping I’d out run the massive storm predicted for 7:00pm.. That storm didn’t hit until after mid night! So tonight being cocky, I figured I’d go for a run again despite seeing a storm spreading the length of the horizon… Big mistake…
Started out all well and good until about 4klm the storm had crept up and it started spitting, when these were taken from the story bridge:
Moments after this its start pouring so I keep running until I finally made it to the Marriott Hotel, was huddled in the corner for a few moments when the winds started and blew two signs which were deflected but then it pick up this massive door mat and hit me in the face! Haha..
First photo is the door mat in the garden behind me, the second the is the size of the door mat after things had calmed down and it was back where it belonged! After things calmed down I started to run off again which is when the hail hit so I had to run back.. haha!
Anyway eventually made it back to southbank and to car and was saturated… made the most of the distance and still ran all the way! Must have looked like I’d lost it going out for a run despite the weather! The water cushioned socks felt great though.. Haha..
Ok Grant here is my Rhyme and you’ll think that its great!!
You’ll have to tell me how I go and how well it will rate
Where do I start, fuk I just cant seem to think straight
There are too many words to choose and so many to contemplate
But ill have to be quick! As the time is already 12.48!
Fuket this is to hard, I gotta go now before I am late!
Grantus Maximus:
Sorry I haven’t had a chance to get back
was doing some work cause I felt slack.
That wasn’t a bad a attempt at rhyming,
and if anyone says its crap they’d be lying.
I could go on and tell you some random story,
but lets face it 6 lines holds enough glory ;)
Miss Martin:
That was good Grant, your rhyming really is okay!
But we all know im better, you’ll admit it one day
Ive been rhyming for years, the “Rhyming Game” is wat I play
Ask anyone who knows me! Ill tell u wat they’ll say
“Karina and her damn rhymes, I wish she would just go away!”
“She rhymes and she rhymes with her rhyming display”
But I know the truth and ill tell u if I just may!
They say it cos they all cant rhyme and when they try to its gay!
Grantus Maximus:
Miss Martin I was impressed with your submission,
but it sounded like you wanted to have a competition?
Don’t get me wrong you seem to have some ambition,
but when you get in to my league you’ll need more ammunition.
You’ve got no chance up against me the master tactician!
Hell, I’m that good I should be some black musician!
And why are you rhyming with short little words like gay?
Is it some mentally challenged child your trying to portray?
Even I can use little words or phrases, see, childs play…
Grantus Maximus:
You’re probably madly typing now or scratching head,
trying to think of some better to finally put this to bed.
But you see while your there pausing and thinking,
mean while i’m here rhyming without even blinking..
Nothing back yet, you must have u finished working?
Just put anything down, no need to get fussy!
Ohh and Karina, “put a leg up u hussy”!
Miss Martin:
Haha dont you be silly its not like that at all!
I am busy working and I dont really mean to stall
Its clear to me and the writing is all over the wall
That ill come up with a killer rhyme that will make yours look small!!
You have presented the challenge and now ill play hardball
So watch out Grantus Maximus, im in for the rhyming long haul!!
Miss Martin:
Haha Grant that rhyme was awesome and i’ll be sure to congratulate!!
But the challenge is now on and your rhymes I will now detonate
I must say though that your rhymes really are a huge deadweight
You see they arent very consistent and the words you fail to intergrate
So if you give me a moment and give me a chance to demonstrate
Ill explain why your rhymes suck and they all eventually deflate
Its cos when you rhyme the words must be the same co-ordinate
The word must be the same all the way through like mine which all end in “ate”
You throw a word in there and then with another word you re-instate
So reading an inconsistant rhyme beings to really make one frustrate!
Im just giving you some tips to help you next time you have a rhyme to create
But we all know ill win this game and when I do ill celebrate!!
Grantus Maximus:
Alright clearly Melissa doesn’t have anything to contribute.
Chances are the fact it’s past 4pm is probably to attribute.
Anyways in response to slime I mean rhyme, I’m not sure where you went to school,
but not all types of poems or rhymes are suppose to work that way you fool!
For example this is four line Stanza
but notice this bit that doesn’t rhyme?
your confused now, but then I say bonanza
and you start to see this pattern of mine
Or I could get really complex and do a Rhyme royal
Chances are you won’t know what the rules for this are?
Don’t confuse it for a Stanza just cause they start the same darl.
Hopefully you understand the last pattern and get it so far.
Anyways I’m over teaching you rhyming and must tend to my car.
I noticed after driving it in to work this morning the tire was flat
and upon inspection saw a screw in it?! so I really can’t stay and chat.
Here is a funny email a mate sent me about his recent trip past the recently burnt down Victory Hotel in Brisbane:
I just went for a walk through the city and went past the burnt out shell of the ‘iconic’ Vic.
There were police cars outside with police milling about and crowds of men wearing fluoro. I had a peak inside (couldn’t resist) but couldn’t really see much, It looked like a black pit in there. The smell coming off the place was terrible too, like a hundred burning tires in an open sewer.
I walked off a little bit, turned aroundand thought….
We’re in Edinburgh, Scotland at the moment as some of you may know if you got my email (if not let me know your email address).. We caught the train from London on Wednesday. That afternoon we saw Edinburgh Castle and some giant hill with heaps of monuments…
Yesterday we hired a car its a some euro Vectra looking thing, a turbo charged diesel which has been pretty fun to drive! Surprised I remember how its been so long! Windscreen wipers and Indicators on the opposite sides still gets me sometimes.. haha
We drove out to Stirling yesterday which has a very impressive castle a top a massive old volcano which they’ve slowly been restoring. Some of the original parts date back to the 1200’s from memory. Stirling Castle was retaken by William Wallace at one point which was when he given the title of the Guardian of Scotland.
There is also a 150 year old monument to Wallace on a mountain on the other side of the valley. We climbed to its top via the 246 stairs on a narrow spiral stair case just wide enough for 1 person..
But the worst part of yesterday was I had a contact lens tear while in my eye… pretty sureit had me in tears until I decided to pull it out on the road.. spent half the day and driving around blurry through one eye and clear through the other! Haha..
Today we drove to Loch Ness, about 4 hours from here, and didn’t get back until 9 tonight.. Saw some awesome ruins of Urquhart Castle right on the Loch. No sign of the Loch Ness Monster though… I presume she’s on holidays in warmer waters? It was a bit cold up north! We got to drive through the Scottish highlands where there was snow everywhere around us and covering all of the mountains… through that corridor it got down to 2 degrees.. but as you got further up north the snow disappeared!
Haven’t upload any photos from Scotland yet still need to finish uploading all of the others! But here are a couple of stupid videos of Ryan trying to get in the way of a photo of was taking…
1.. Our water taxi doesn’t show up… we waited like 30mins after when he was suppose to arrive, then went back to the hotel to try get a limo… there was over an hour wait for them, so we lined up for a bus… none showed for ages so we decided to walk… jokingly I stuck out my thumb to hitchhike.. and this random dude pulls up and gives 4 of us a lift all the way from surfer to the spit… Hahahaah!
2.. Some idiots we no idea about crowd control decided this year people should ONLY be able to catch buses to Summer Field Dayze… there was 1000’s upon 1000’s of people trying to get there all stuck at a fence they weren’t allowed to walk past!
This cop was at the back of the bus trying to control the flow of people in… and yells out
“BACK THE FUCK UP”
Then some hero in crowd yells out…”YOU BACK THE FUCK UP, THERE’S ONLY ONE OF YOU”
How hilarious is this.. we were out drinking one afternoon and noticed this from the pub! There was a couple of confused owners looking around the cars trying to decide what to do.. Haha! Remember this Casey!?
Ohh dear gawd.. You know it’s pensioner thursday (aka pay day) when your already full bus rolls on up to Zillmere and a sea of grey hair and blue washes is waiting to fill every nonexistant spare spot… Mmmm soak that scent up people La Elderly by Dior…
