Sailing the seven seas of cheese

Ahhh yet another PRIMUS related title. Hell yeah.
Anyway, how long has it been since my last post? Not very long actually. I finally have my whole week planned HURRAH which is great news. Tomorow me and the lads are going to the movies to see "god knows what" and so far i think its me Shauno Martsy Eric and DD. A blokes day, you know how it is...fix up look sharp, you know the game, right Martsy? Right.
OK so tomorow is planned, and i think some of the group is going to the city im not too sure but me and michael are organizing it so who can you trust? NO-ONE.
Friday i thinks im going to have lunch with Rikki. Yeah, i know, that is fucked up in so many ways. 1, we've known each other for something as little as 3 weeks and 2, we've met about 4 times in person. Ahahahaha weird. GO RIKKI GO!
Saturday is....JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR!!! starring: LUCY!!!! HURRAH! Yeah im going to see it all, along with umm marty eric dav tess henrik i think but i dont know....I CANT WAIT!!!?!?

Anyway, today was super-pantstastic. Laura came over for the day and first of all SORRY TO DD who was going to come over but things screwed up haha. ANYWAY so laura came over and we started the day eating tuna sandwhiches which was tasty. Then i screwed around on bass for a while but then i got really sick and my bass-playing wasnt up to great standards but yeah.
Then for the rest of the afternoon we just walked around and played ps2 and watched umm happy gilmore thats it. But HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY we found this stick with a wheel on the end of it and we decided to call it EDWINA (yes, EDWINA) and we actually wrote a note saying all this bullshit and we stuck the note on the stick and left it outside dav's house OH HAPPY DAYS. Well thats about it, a great day and a great holidays altogether i just fuckn dont wanna go back to school.

Marty, i hope things shape up with you and the group, there is a lot of confusion everyone and im not taking sides with anyone in this world war, i just hope yer still cres with everyone.

>note- 'cres' is a word myself and dd use on various occasions.
definition: short for 'crescent fresh', basically meaning 'thats fucken cool' or a way of saying that things will get better.
Increase your vocab people. Increase your vocab...

Anyways people, fix up look sharp y'all know the drill fo shizzle

#song of the freakn day- pudding time- primus# what did you expect? bodyjar? get the fuck out of my house.... soz mart' i know you love em, but i hate bodyjar with a passion.

GROUP PHOTO!!!

It's pudding time children

Why hello there, if you're reading this than you're obviously BORED. Oh well...a lot of you probably hear me rant on and on about how strange Primus lyrics are, well, i have proof. Here are just a few lyric selections from some classic Primus songs:

>pudding time
Money money money, To buy you things, Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring, Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the kings horses and all the kings men, Couldn't put Humpty together again, San Francisco bay, The striped bass are dying, But you're gonna get ,That brand new bike, Oh joy!

>john the fisherman
When I grow up I want to be, one of the harvesters of the sea. I think before my days are done, I want to be a fisherman. "I'll live and die a fisherman." Calling John the Fisherman..

>spaghetti western
Well we got us a spaghetti western on 36, I like spaghetti westerns, I like the way the boots are all reverbed out walking across the hardwood floors, In fact, everything's got that big reverb sound, Well what'll I do now? Go to sleep, Pull the pud, We need new pornos, Well, I guess I'm still writing...

>>>>Yeah well, thats some of my favourites. Well i may aswell tell you about the last two days. Yestrday, lets see...oh yeah i went to dd's place and we just played timesplitters2 and pimped on the computer for ages. Good fun, good fun... today stu came over *shudders* and he just talked bullshit all day and that was about it. Coming up soon is LAURAS BDAY which should be a celebration but not too sure whats happening... the weeks seems like its going fast, but hey what do i know.
Ohh lucy's performance in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is coming up soon! HURRAH! I cant wait, but at the same time i dont have 17 bucks to get in.........i'll find money.
I have a lingering for fried rice. Does anyone have any fried rice?

Ahhhh hail my rasta brothers from other mothers.
>jim

#song of the day- John the fisherman- Primus# Ahh cant be bothered talking about this one. Its good, thats enough said.
HEY that reminds me, i have photos from GRAND FINAL DAY but i cant be bothered posting em all....heres a group shot:

I've got the funky rhymes, but im not the funky devil

Ahh i felt like putting some old Beastie Boys lyrics into the title. I forget what song this one is from, but its from Ill Communication (dd knows it!). Wow its been a long time since my last post i think, and what a week it has been. Monday i spent the day with laura tess and miki at eastland, having a coffee (mine was cappucino- how do you spell it?) and i followed them around girly shops. Some guys were meant to come, but they didnt. We also met Fi during our coffee and she is a crazy one, her energy is just over the top. After that we all went to miki's house and that was awesome cool, especially when we went out knick-knocking. Ah, the life of teenagers. Tuesday/Wednesday i spent with Dav and Tess, tuesday being a day of bumming around and basketball, wednesday being a day of Blackadder and basketball. Quite fun, but then on Thursday i saw them again for the MOVIES. Me shauno and dav saw Willy Wonka. Quite a fantastic movie, really. And the others (tess andy hannah fi) saw The Perfect Catch. I wanted everyone to see the same movie but oh well, next time.
After that we all took the train home, and shauno and myself got caught by the train people becuz we had invalid tickets. They let us off with a warning, and this is my 3rd warning i've had. Crazy. My luck is just a phoenomenon.

Afterwards me and shauno went to sleep over at eric's house. We played a lot of Timesplitters 2 and Mortal Combat 5, and we attempted to play Worms 3D but found out that that game drives people MAD and ANGRY. We started a brawl, which led to me and shauno calling eric a nazi all night. We also watched Waynes World (great movie, in my top 5 probably) and we all got a few laughs, and then we watched about 6 or 7 episodes of the first season of The OC. That was bloody awesome, i have to buy some OC dvds in december (money month). We then woke up with headaches and just went home and had showers.

Tomorow is.........GRAND FINAL DAY!! WOOHOO! It's a shame i dont watch footy at all, but oh well it'll be good to watch and people are encouraging me to start watching footy. I'll consider it, seeing as though myself and marty are the only ones left in Australia that dont watch footy. THE REVOLUTION, oh yes, i'll shut up now.
Soooooo i hope everyones holidays are going splendidly, aaaaand STAY COOL.

Hail rasta bother, hail.

#song of the day- Get up and jump- Red Hot Chilli Peppers# A rap/funk song of the 80's, some awesome slap riffs included in which i can sorta play now, but i cant play it as fast. Ah well, its awesome, everyone should get into the old school RHCP.

Fever in the funk house

Hurrah, i'm posting again!!! I think its been too long, not too sure, but here 'tis THE UPDATE. Friday was the last day of exams, and after school we all went to the square to 'celebrate', though we didnt really do anything. Then there was a small group of us that decided to go to the show for the night, which consisted of myself, michael, andy, laura, dav and steph. First of all, we got to the show and went straight for the showbags and stuff and it was dav's first time also, so yeah very exciting. We went on the dodgems a few times, i went on once with steph and once with michael and there was this little nerd kid who kept yelling and pulling weird faces and i thought he had rabies or sumthin. We went on the ferris wheel and it was reeeally cold when ur at the top and i get scared of heights very easily and yeah. The others went on a few other rides, but nothing beats dodgems. The food there cost like $400 for a hotdog, but atleast you got free viewing of the cannon lady and the rocket man, and by the way the monster trucks are REEAAALLY LAME. WE were there from about 6-10, and afterwards we stopped off at flinders and grabbed some maccas and went straight home.
Then came saturday. I took the day off with some bass playing and quality tv while my parents are away at Seymour, and then my mate max came round and we just chilled for a while with a few guitars. he left at like 6, then i just spent all night watching 3rd rock from the sun on dvd, and checking out some buddy rich solos (see buddy rich vs ed shaunessy on drummerworld.com), and then went to bed at about 1 in the morning.
'Tis now sunday, almost lunchtime, and simpsons is blaring in the background. Ah, simpsons....
I'm eating all my chocolate and goodies from my willy wonka showbag. Yuuuummmm....

Anyway, fix up look sharp, you all know how it goes,

#song of the day- Funk Brothers- Whats going on?# This is a typical funk/pop song of the 80's, and the band has one of the best bass players that ever lived, James Jamerson. Seriously, no-one has really heard of him but he is pretty funky in this other song 'fever in the funk house' (note the title of this post), but yeah, get into some quality funk people, and jazz also, cuz Buddy Rich is my Buddy.

Imagine that - every single person in the village having an affair with the same duck

Hey hey,
Well 'tis the weekend and i have done absolutely nothing for once. Thats right, IM BORED. I have nothing to write about, so i am going to fill up this post with random blackadder quotes:

Blackadder: You see, the thing about heaven is that heaven is for people who like the sort of things that go on in heaven. Like, well, singing, talking to God, watering pot plants.

George: I'm absolutely top-hole, sir, with an ying and yang and yippiedeedoo.

Blackadder: I'm as poor as a church mouse, that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese.

Blackadder: We live in an age where illness and deformity are commonplace, and yet, Ploppy, you are, without a doubt, the most repulsive individual I have ever met. I would shake your hand, but I fear it would come off.

Flashheart: If word gets out that I'm missing, 500 girls will kill themselves and I wouldn't want them on my conscience - not when they ought to be on my face!

Baldrick: Well, Mr Blackadder always says, when the going gets tough, the tough hide under the table.

King: St Juniper once said; 'By his loins shall ye know him, and by the length of his rod shall he be measured.'

George: I'm thick. I'm as thick as the big print version of the Complete Works of Charles Dickens.

Blackadder: I know from long experience all my men have the artistic talent of a cluster of colour-blind hedgehogs in a bag.

Blackadder: If we lose, I'll be chopped into pieces. My arm'll end up in Essex, my torso in Norfolk and my genitalia stuck up a tree somewhere in Rutland.

Percy: I mean, money isn't everything. Think of clouds and daisies, and the lovely smiles on little babies' faces.

Blackadder: 'Yes, it is', not 'That it be'. You don't have to talk in that stupid voice to me. I'm not a tourist.

Blackadder: Oh, God, God, God! What on earth was I drinking last night? My head feels like there's a Frenchman living in it.

Blackadder: Baldrick, have you no idea what irony is? Baldrick: Yes, it's like goldy and bronzy only it's made out of iron.

Baldrick:Hear the words I sing,War's a horrid thing, But still I sing, sing, sing,Ding a ling a ling.

Flashheart: Thanks, Bridesmaid. Like the beard. Gives me something to hang on to.

George: Now I've got my lovely fire I'm happy as a Frenchman who's invented a pair of self-removing trousers.

---Well, i hope you enjoyed. I'll leave it there, and by the way i dont know if i've done a song of the day for a while... unless its my imagination. Oh well. Stay cool peoples.

#song of the day- The Awakening- Les Claypool and the flying frog brigade# This song is focused completely on the bass, and the live version is tons better. ENJOY!!! >jim

Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl, you can never be my bride

HEELLOOOO,
Nick Cave lyrics for the sub-heading of course (Knoxville Girl). I have just passed my Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds phase, and now i'm just listening to anything really. This week has been hell lately. Exams are coming up, and everyone is scared (inculding me) and the teachers are really putting on the pressure. I think everyone will do fine, its moments right now that are the hardest. Recently a lot of my friends are just melting around me, and its really not good. I have a few problems myself and i havent been myself lately (in my opinion). My uncles life has gone downhill over the past few weeks. He has just been divorced, he has then lost his job, and this weekend hes moving to Queensland. Its not the best time of the year, but i guess i just have to wait until it all passes, eh?

I havent been practicing bass quite as much lately, due to my over-sized blister on the index finger. I have to play with my middle finger, and its not raelly working out. I'm deprived of my bass, and its tearing me apart. Oh well, i havent been in a bass mood lately anyway.
Ahhhh holidays are coming up... it sure does feel good. Nothing at all is planned, and hopefully a few partys will be thrown for me to be a part of. I think davs gonna be raiding my house most of the time (becuz i have a dvd burner), but other than that, NOT TOO SURE.
Anyway, all enjoy your weekend please, and stay cool.

>jim

My name is mud... not to be mistaken

HELLOOOOO!
Gosh its been like over a week now since my last post. Sorry bout that people, but im blogging to keep the spirit up. A lot has actually happened since my last post. I've actually improved my bass skills quite a bit (though i still suck), but i now know how to do slap bass, and i'm working out thumb slap bass. For those who have no idea what i'm on about, visit www.primusville.com/animals (first click on 'freak' down the bottom) and click on all the home movie links with pictures of bass guitars on them so you can know how much i'm in love with les. Anyway, i'm still absolutley obsessed with Primus and Les Claypool (the colonel), and i've attempted to get some others into Primus, but i think you have to be a bass player to like their weird and somewhat funky music. Actually, they've just about tought me everything i know about playing bass, which reminds me THIS WEEK i'm starting bass lessons at school! Hopefully i can be in the stage bands with the fellows, that'd be supra-awesome. Yesterday Ross, Tess and Miki went to south street (i think they're the only ones that went, correct me if i'm wrong...actually, fi went later that day ehehe) and i actually decided to wake up at 6 in the morning to bid them farewell. I have no idea why i chose to torture my saturday like this, but i did. Anyway, i missed the freaking train so i ran to blackburn hs to get there in time to say goodbye, but when i got there everyone was on the bus. I didnt want to walk up to the bus and wave at everyone like a complete dipshit, so i waited on the main road and waved at the bus as it drove by..... noone saw me. Sooo, what was the point in waking up at 6:00 am to say hello to nothing? I DONT KNOW. But anyway, i got a surprise call from the peoples on the bus and they started talking about rabbits. Ahhh two weeks left of school, and 1 1/2 weeks left till exams. I'm shitting myself, seriously (pardon my french) becuz i've always sucked at maths no matter how much i study, i havent read my english book (and the exam is based on this book), i dont know german at all apart from the basics, i've been failing science like never before, and SOSE... well, lets just say i could give a shit about world war one, or about the gold diggers. Ih well, its just one step closer to VCE i guess. I'm very sorry to my good friend Tess becuz i wont be doing the next part to the adventures of ron and jimmy, due to my lack of inspiration and my desire to do nothing but practice bass. Sometime this week, I PROMISE!!!!!!! Anyway, i'll leave you all in await for my next post, which will be as lame and as primus-obsessed as this one. Stay cool people, you always have. >jim
