Played two matches on wednesday night
One the first as expected (the bloke ALWAYS gets one damned game off of me damnit cept when i am REALLY trying hard)
Then I went down to the main game. Guy Ive never beaten. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG hitter. Smashes it. Lost the first, looked up at the captain of our team n said 'well I'm playing as well as Ive played since I started playing again - this is the best I can do n it simply isnt good enough'
Then won the next 3 straight 9-4, 9-3, 9-2. Won going AWAY. As HIS captain was overheard saying to him after game 2 ' he plays a high risk /high reward style of squash - when its on its on DONT play him at his game' heh.
He tried matching it stroke play fer strokeplay n couldnt do it.
God it felt good. This is the bloke who smashed me 9-5, 9-3, 9-2 in the forst round when I was sick as a dog. Felt good. Especially as i felt like id been hit by a truck going into the game.
Funny thing form. Whenever i feel super I play like shit. Its like ya a bit high or something n cuz I feel so good (compared to normal) I think I dont concentrate anywhere near as hard as I should. Make silly mistakes. When I feel sore n achey all over I play extra well I think cuz I concentrate super hard. Last night I felt almost indestructable on the court. I knew I couldnt run down EVERY shot he hit so I quickly chose if i thought i could A reach it n B was it worth the effort?. If the answer to B was hell no I didnt try to run it down. My trouble is inertia due to my stupid weight. Once I get GOING I move as quick as anyone. Its the GETTING going that is the trouble. And going forward up the court I seem to find troublesome. Always have. So I make a choice with what shots to chase n what not to. I realised today that in game one (lost 9-5) I made a conscious choice to force rallies deep down my backhand side. Normally 2 righthanders both go at it down THEIR backhands (lefty forehand) n the pattern remains when they play us lefties - consequently we get lots of forehand practice (pattern also holds when 2 lefties play - unconsciously we are used t oplaying down the forehand court all the time). So I decided to MAKE the game rotate down my backhand side - even though it exposed me to my opponents' formidable forehand drives. I think my subconscious knew I could beat him there if i could frustrate his drives to length. Which I did in the second game - also I switched the play annoying back n forth to my forehand to try to break up his confidence.
I also murdered EVERY (well almost) serve he delivered to my backhand with poetic crosscourt volley nick kills, firm straight volley drops n delicate little cross n straight drops off serves I couldnt volley - to the point where he KNEW if he won the rally his serve was gonna get the treatment -which made his serves WORSE to my delight.
Sorry
I'm well chuffed
I played as well as I think it is possible for me to play last night n i DONT feel sore n sorry today. It feels nice to have finally put together a total game - running n moving unhindered n without serious restriction of breathing through asthma, hitting shots the way they should be hit, whether aggressive attacking strokes or positional play, knowing when I DID play a poor tactical shot or a rare mis-hit why it happened n how to avoid it again. N I didnt get cranky at anything. THAT shows me I was actually concentrating on the GAME.
Now I just have to do it the same every week.
Well the weight is sloooowly hovering its way downward. Again. *sigh*
I have to go to the cardiologist on monday. The doc SAYS the cardio said there was nothing wrong. So I says well why does he wanna see me then? Couldnt answer. doh
He put me on one aspirin a day which is a blood thinner. Dope. Aspirin is contra-indicated for asthmatics. Which is why Ive been sucking on my ventolin (salbutimol) so much lately. Happily though I am getting better sleep since the doc changed my evening prventer to one with no ventolin in it as it acts as a sort of 'upper' making it hard to sleep. So that is good as my regular reader will remember I was going slowly crazy for a while there.
I figure there cant be tooooooo much wrong as I suspect Ida dropped dead by now with the amount of squash Ive been playing lately. enough so that Ive decided to rest from squash from today (thursday) until mebbe sunday arvo or even up to comp on monday night. Just go to the gym in the mornings n work on the weight loss n cardio vascular etc. Reason being When I got to the courts last night I could barely lift my arm it was so sore. Once I got playing it was ok but b4 n after sucked. Simply too much i think.
Anyway...
More tomorrow mebbe

is this blog eviiiiiiiiiil??
Well lets see if THIS one takes
Ive been trying to make a blog entry for on n off fer about 2 weeks now. Stupid thing. Keeps cancelling the damn entry or the server shits or my connexion quits BAHHHHHHHHHH.
so its ANZAC day on Tuesday. Who is with me? Ima go egg Stockland Mall cuz theyre gonna be OPEN from 1pm. Bastards. Is NOTHING sacred anymore??
I remember (cue music n think old fart remembering ) car yards which opened on ANZAC Day would have loads of people driving by throwing cartons of eggs on the displaying cars. Shops which dared open would get the ole ring their number from a phone booth n leave it off the hook treatment. Do it from 3 phoneboothes n most small businesses had no phones (here in Australia the receiver of a call hanging up does absolutely zip - only the caller can terminate the call).
Now they think its ok to 'honour our fallen by not opening until 1pm' screw you fascist pigs. STAY FUGGIN SHUT n go down to the RSL n buy a digger a beer yah carns. Australia Day we couldnt give shit what ya do - but STAY SHUT ON ANZAC DAY you twats.
There was a 'battlefield detectives' episode on last night in which a geologist who has obviously been bitten by the history bug 'discovered something which may revolutionise study of the Gallipoli campaign' - to whit - terrain played a major role in the Turkish victory.
Like noone before him had EVER had the brains to notice what a SHITE place it was to try to land troops in the face of enemy fire. The historian from the royal military college n the Turkish historians were clearly just humouring the burk. It was like they were all saying 'well DERRR just fuggin LOOK at it willya' under their breath.
Orright
anyone heard from kassi?
Um I gonna huve to gut on to the NZ pulice wubsite n ruport her mussing??
(*choke* *gasp* couldnt help mysulf surry) I miss talking to my kiwi bud.
Am still hobbling about from wednsday night - played three matches practically back to back. Had a red hot go in all three too. NOW i remember what my legs felt like after lots of work. Hot baths, 2 visits to the gym, lignament, none of it has helped - ima bite the bullet tonight n have half a codeine tablet to settle it down a bit.
We went to a little town up near Cessnock on monday morning where a market day was being held. Couldnt believe the number of people who showed up as this was really the middle of NOWHERE.
Welp
talk to you lot soon

sometimes I wonder if there really is a god
Im not talking about yer standard judaeo/christian offering. Dont really know what I mean exactly, but...
When you stand on the tee at sunrise n watch it peep over the shoulders of the hills on the other side of the lake, wait for the various species of cockatoos to do their worship the sun thing,then hit a perfect drive straight down the middle picture perfect n hear the gunshot crack of the perfect 1 wood shot then perrrhaps there is some sort of god out there. I think he plays golf. I think she plays golf.
There is no god. If there were I would not be so ill-equipped to play squash. My legs are too short. My reflexes are too slow. I simply cannot hit the damn ball anywhere near as hard as I want to. I wouldnt be shortsighted. I would have a lot more fast twitch muscle fibres. I would be able to run all day without getting tired. Sweat wouldnt shit me shit me shit meeeeeeeee. Everyone tells me Ive 'got the shots' whatever that means to them - to me it means bloody hard work on a daily basis - I have no natural ability you see. So I think there may be some form of impish mischievious demon (in the non satanic sense) who enjoys these sorts of practical jokes.
I know I cannot hit the ball as hard as the top pros. Hell I cant hit it as hard as the top guys where I play. Shits me bad that do. God is a funny guy/gal/EBE, though, Ive stood on the same driving range with one of Australia's top golf pros, with same bucket of crappy red striped driving range balls aiming at the same distance marker 270 metres away n hit it just the same as the pro. Infact I got bored n started hitting the 300 metre sign. Which he couldnt reach. Drive for show they say. Generally people who cant drive. I always said back ' I'll take my 2 putts n be happy Ive taken ONE shot to reach where you are in 4 - so what if you one putted woohoo'
So I could probably be pretty good at a game I play once a year these days if Im lucky. But started playing too old n late - didnt pick up a club til I was 24. But I am eternally frustrated at the game I actually love.
Im not gonna buy into the 'why would god preate hurricanes etc' argument as they are understandable naturally occuring phemonena.
Ok picking on TV time again:
I don't watch Threshold - if I wanna see alien conspiracy shit on TV I go get an old X-files tape cuz atleast Scully has gorgeous tits.
But this struck me in the TV guide this week. Some guy in the show gets turned into an alien/human hybrid buy (get this its a HOOT) EATING some alien dna. Right.
I eat cow DNA every day nearly. *checks for horns* no not that one. heh no I think I am maintaining my essential humanness. Apparently eating alien DNA is enough to mutate your own DNA. Quite. Here is a tip shitwits. It might make you a little SICK cuz your body hasnt evolved to PROCESS it as food but I'm pretty sure any DNA you injest will be unhappy at BEST when it hits the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. At LEAST the X-files had top scientists working for 50 years to combine human and alien DNA to try to make a hybrid. That was somewhat buyable in the 'ok its the X-Files I'll suspend disbelieve a touch' vein. But EATING DNA ? please.
N they keep rehashing that old bloody 'Bermuda Triangle' crap up too. Someone should follow the footnotes one day it gets interesting.One author quotes another who quotes the first author round n round it goes. In the bullshit books I mean. I mean seriously. That area of the Atlantic is KNOWN for the od hurricane once in a while. You think the odd ship might not go down in the ODD storm? wow what a concept. I wish I could remember the name of the book I read when I was about 25 which totally put it in perspective for me. The guy actually went n traced EVERY so-called 'famous' incident. What you read or see portrayed on tv isnt ever what really happened. If the story starts 'It was a bright sunny day when they set out to go fishing' then 'they' were either half tanked idiots sailing out in the eye of a hurricane or it was right on dusk n a bloody great storm was about to hit. The one I remember clearest was about the ship the Marine Sulphur Queen. Wow it 'mysteriously vanished' one day. Yep loaded with suphur. Yep in rough seas. Yep people heard a 'mysterious' explosion out to sea. Yep the thing BLEW UP. Yep that class of ship had a HABIT of blowing up. What a 'mystery'.
douchebags
I am willing to believe that bigfoot exists though.
I think the yeti is a rare form of tibetan bear which has been hyped out of all recognition by western media.
I think the loch ness monster is a giant otter
I mean really
There simply isnt enough biomass to support a breeding population of large dinosaur like creatures. besides. You think they wouldnt be found easily enough with sonar n a sunny afternoon? Derr. We can find submarines in the OCEAN pretty easy n they are actively trying to hide.A lake is just not the same in volume terms. OK mebbe the great lakes in america or lake Baikal theyre pretty damned big. But really. I think a giant otter at about 6 or 7 feet tip to tail would look pretty damned impressive to someone who had been indulging scotlands other famouos export.

hooray for me
Well thats ONE monkey off my back at last!
I finally beat the one woman at squash Ive been gritting n grinding my teeth about fer 2 years. Sick n tired of playing 5 set matches against her n losing in 5. Shit me shit me good it did well I finally did it i beat HER in 5. I think injuries aside, I have gotten over the voodoo curse that was hovering over me whenever I played her. Now I just have to beat that damn doctor (another 'shit here comes a 5 setter' n yeah likewise i get up 2-0 n lose in 5 go figure :/ ) n the voodoo curses will be broken.
Ya know some ppl you arent gonna beat unless there is something wrong eh. One of the girls I play with is 20ish, super fit n hits the ball rather nicely. I can stay with her to about 3-3 in the first game after which I'm basically knackered n she wins easily. Fitness... *sigh* No annoyance at losing to Lisha - shes fitter n faster than me. When I lose to someone who is fitter but simply not as good a player I get the shits with myself though. when I was 20 I cant remember dropping more than a couple of points to ANY woman I played. too fit, too fast, hit the ball too well. would that I could now :/ But atleast now ive got that monkey off my back anyway. Its generally the way though eh. Theres always someone you SHOULD be able to beat pretty easy n ya cant but once you crack it you wonder what the fuss was about. Theres a guy at one centre i play at i beat him 3-0 he beats me 3-0 n when we catch each other when we are BOTH playing either well or shit it goes to 5 n take ya pick who wins. His ssheer fitness balances out my shot playing or my strokeplay works him enough that I try his fitness. When I am ON my game n he isnt mooving as well as normal i flog him - when I am struggling with ball control n he is wizzing around the court he flogs me. Swings n roundabouts. I dont mind losing in that situation. It is always a good game.
I have another 2 hours on the court tomorrow with the Number 6 ranked under 19 in NSW (New South Wales for the illiterate). I coach him twice a week - Tuesdays n Thursdays. He is obviously able to beat me blind at the moment as he hits the ball well n moves like lightning. Bastard. Nah he is a good lad actually. Hasnt got his head quite as far up his arse as most 19yos. I havent got much I can teach him about ball striking - he does that well enough. just working on attitude, training aspects n drilling him on the basics which can be easily forgotten under pressure. I know I can do ok with this as the victim (he whom I havent mentioned in a while) has actually started winning tough games in our local comp. Games which 12 months ago he would have lost easily. I can see the improvement in his game. N I know it is mostly down to the work we have done over the last 12 months. He is a far better player now than he was then.
Well another Easter is around the corner n as usual the good ole christians have forgotten it is basically passover for our jewish friends.
Ive always found it remarkable that we (I come from christian background) stole an enormous volume of lore n straight out history from the jewish people n claimed it seemingly as the birhtright of western europe (intriguing that in itself) but then this is the self same culture that for a 1600 or so years thought pogroms were just so much fun for the whole family. So its ok to steal their heritage but it isnt ok to respect their right to exist? Seems whacky to me. For the sake of the moonbat religious nutters who are all there muttering 'they killed jesus' well they didnt. Last time I checked crucifixion was a particularly ITALIAN punishment. I was gonna say peculiarly Roman but thought rocky might take me to task by pointing out the romans probably learnt it from the Etruscans. so it wouldnt indeed be peculiarly 'roman'. Kassi stop muttering 'anal retentive' i CAN hear you (ok ok only in my head)!
Remember
To join the PFJ youd have to REALLY hate the Romans!!
ahem
next
Just watched that thing Bettany Hughes did on Helen of Sparta (I know I know she is more popularly known as helen of troy but she was the daughter of the king of sparta, the man she MARRIED became king of SParta because he married her n AFTER he went n took her BACK from Troy she was queen of sparta AGAIN - seems to me she is Helen of Sparta) N I just wanna know where Bettany Hughes was when I was at uni learning about this stuff - I mean no offence ladies I was at uni with but she is a knock out. If I was able to I think I would be on a plane n talking ancient methods of seduction with her. She even looks good in jeans.
There was also a thing on rockys' mate Mike Morwood n Homo floriensis. I dont know how ANYONE who has seen an H erectus skull would think floriensis was a modern human. it looks just like a shrunk H erectus skull.
Mind you I cant for the life of me see the so-called 'modern' aspects of those skulls in Israel they make such a song n dance about as being thousands of years earlier than H. neanderthals found nearby. They look pretty damned UNmodern to me. They look pretty neanderthal to me. Ok they seem fairly gracile but hell they dont look anything like modern.
I like that new meat advert. Cept... Sam Neil mentions Homo Habilis n the the little girl mumbles something about Homo Rudolfensis. Rocky youre closer to this than me study wise but wasnt rudolph a closet erectus? The super splitters are taking over palaeoanthropology again worse luck. Now it seems (as it was in the 20-30-40s) if you find it it HAS to have a new name - it couldnt POSSIBLE be related or the same as that one found by your 'esteemed' colleague with whom you are competing for grant moneys n publishing credentials. Dudes... if it LOOKS like a duck, waddles like a duck n quacks like a duck its PROBABLY a fuggin duck ok.
It seems Ive traumatised rocky describing myself as running like a surprised gibbon caught inserting a piece of fruit up its arse. Heh. Hope the nightmares coincide with junior wanting tto be heard at 4am. heh
sorry mate
just been on that friends united website looking through lists of people I went to school with.
amazed at how few of the names ring a bell. I guess it wasnt a bad thing though cuz I I am back in contact with my first gf (the first one who mattered). We hadnt had any contact at all from 1985ish until she emailed me in 04. Was cool.
damn I hate the night Ive played squash. I cant sleep from adrenaline. Too tired to go for a walk (n frankly too scared in this neighbourhood - its ok during the day but i dont think Id like to wander at night). But Im too buzzed to sleep.
I finally beat the one woman at squash Ive been gritting n grinding my teeth about fer 2 years. Sick n tired of playing 5 set matches against her n losing in 5.

damn I hate the night Ive played squash. I cant sleep from adrenaline. Too tired to go for a walk (n frankly too scared in this neighbourhood - its ok during the day but i dont think Id like to wander at night). But Im too buzzed to sleep.

been a while
hidiho folks
ankle is better
wrist is better
calf muscle is better
touch wood (rocky where are you i wanna knuckle yer head) my shoulder is better too.
N yeah kassi mate the yanks blew their chances of ruining the commonwealth games for everyone else in 1776. Talk about short sighted eh. Whoda thunk theyd go fer short term gain over long term sensibility. No representation without taxation i say!
rocky you BETTER send damn pix so i can ascertain the child resembles its mother (everyone pray that is the case).
Hiya Barbfromcali *makes international 'hang 5' symbol with his hand* I care for a lady with schizophrenia and depression and who has just lately started having seizures. Tom Cruise is a gormless twit. Obvious to me he has NEVER seriously encountered anyone with a mental illness. INCLUDING the homeless people who root through his garbage. Maybe if yer such a bloody EXPERT Tom you could pay for those poor souls' medications for a couple of weeks (not like you couldnt afford it ya filthy rich nob) n SEE if they dont seem to be a little more coherent n actually functional again. Wow you say? never THOUGHT of that? More interested in very publically first adopting some kid form somewhere with much 'look at me im great' fanfare then knocking up some poor sweet innocent looking gal like yer the first dirty old man who ever thought of it?
I will NEVER go to another tom cruise movie.
EVER
cock with legs
Hiya Lisa my ankle is better now LOL
I thought pain only came in threes i got four. No fair no fair!
Now I can actually run wihtout looking like a distressed gibbon caught inserting a large piece of fruit up its rectum I actually WON 2 of the 3 games of squash I played this week that meant anything! yay (just a little yay).
Those crazy oil companies!! Gee wizz I feel sorry for them ya know! Theyre such a (as our american capitalist pig friends would say) such a buncha SWELL guys! OF COURSE its just a coincidence that petrol has gone from $1.07 in Windsor (mum lives there) to $1.38 in the space of the time it took mum to fill up (thank god) then think 'oops forgot****' n turn around to go back past the servo she filled up at where it was suddenly a WHOLE bunch dearer to buy petrol, JUST before Easter. Just a coincidence it went up THIRTY CENTS just before Easter eh? Like it used to be 'just a coincidence' the %^@#$&(() unions went on strike JUST before christmas EVERY YEAR. Wow what a load of old...... coincidences.... Ya know what really riles? THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY THAT BS. no such THING as coincidences. There are seemingly random events which occur through some deeper pattern. IE 'oil company exec says 'lets make more money'. Funny how stuff flows downhill from there.
You are all arseholes. You know who you are.
RISE UP FELLOW PLEBS!!!! Dont use your cars for a fortnight!! Make the forecourts of the petrol stations resemble a Brisbane broncos supporters party ANYWHERE in Australia (other than brisbane) IE desolate...vacant...ghostly in the nonappearance of people. Thatll bring the fuckers to their knees. WRite to your local member of parliament telling the sod or soddess that you will NOT countenance the government helping the poor now somewhat less wealthy oil companies out!! Write to them telling them to remove the 'world parity bullshit' - the goddamned AMERICANS dont do it why should we? Bigger taxes on fat ugly view blocking 4WDs Unless registered by farmers or rural workers (they NEED em). Tax breaks on smaller nippy sweet handling European cars (in fact write to your local member telling him/her to GIVE the mongoose a nice new Peugeot 307GTI you know you want to! [who said i was doing this outa the outrage in my heart eh eh])
N while youre at it
Tell them we DONT need american oranges while OUR farmers are ploughing their oranges into their fields cuz they cant compete!
We dont need Nigerian bananas (ok we may just need nigerian bananas at the moment)
Ive put my money where my mouth is! Told woolworths that I refuse to buy american oranges from their store. Apples too any fruit not grown here can kiss my fat white wiggly arse. I aint eating it.
yeah
bastards
