this is my 150th post on my blog. not bad considering i started this year some time... what a year it has been... another year gone and nothing to show for it. well, shall we go down memory lane and see what has been happening? (let me check my calender for the highlights)
JANUARY
went on holiday to NEW ZEALAND with Mum - had the best time actually... suprisingly it was all smiles and no fights.... jumped out of a plane @ 12,000 feet... was a highlight ... saw the hobbits and shit. went back to NOOSA and fucking burnt to a crisp in the sun. saw old friends from high-school. saw sarah chuah before she left for her crazy ass world tour.
FEBRUARY
got held up with a knife at work. went through trauma. stopped working. went back to work at day time. robber still at large. hating life at this stage. not looking forward to not working and not having any money to move out of home for 2 years - 13 serong street. jarrod moves out. others move in. i move out.
MARCH
commonwealth games official volunteer. more time off work and not getting paid. getting over life but hoping that this will be fun and give me some freebies. went to closing ceremony for games, was pretty emo. john farnham sung and i got goosebumps. it was pretty cold. found a house through li-kims real estate. the other guys aren't even here yet.
APRIL
probably by now officially settled into new house with SARAH & STEVE ... im assuming the furniture would've been here by now so we arent sleeping on nothing. sarah IMAX went to NEW YORK i think... somewhere around here. i get totally jealous when she gets back and shows me 1- all the photos, 2- all the candy & 3- just general NY CITY tales of bumping into mark ruffalo.
MAY
nothing written in the calender. except that i paid rent, got a haircut and went to leila's 21st birthday. and on the 16th i had a "meet & greet" - i have no idea what that is about. i think i saw the lion king for the second time thanks to loredo. final show in AUS... i got emo. probably met chris sometime in there...
JUNE
sarah's brother charlie arrives and leaves. sarah's friend cara arrives and then leaves. this place is becoming a hostel. i had a job interview for EZYDVD on the 7th @ 1pm ... didnt get the job, so must've been shit. mmm animation festival with rob... steve's birthday on the 30th. mum's birthday on the 25th... i worked.
JULY
1st of july-went to benno's house warming. everyone slept in my bed - rob wouldnt shut up re: meaning of life. it got seriously that annoying. sarah's birthday on the 3rd... same day as loredo left for shanghai.. on the 26th @ 2pm apparently is "crazy time" and on the 27th i called the voting office. not a terribly exciting month.
AUGUST
1st of aug we finally bought a fridge. it's only used for dips and alcohol. apparently sarah left for QLD on the 17th. i hired out the 24 playstation game and fell in love. sarah chuah arrived back in the country. not much happened according to calender.
SEPTEMBER
1st - sarah chuah's birthday. 2nd - my birthday. my nana stayed with me for a few nights. i managed to make her watch KING KONG ... she loved it. (i was very happy) ...
STEVE IRWIN DIED. that fucking sucked.
li-kim went to NOOSA on the 8th ... then had her birthday. she turned 30 or something. chris and nana's birthday. recieved my victims of crime cheque. it's alot higher than what i was expecting. sarah chuah arrived in MELB. we share a bed and she punches me. i have to sleep on the wall side. leo's birthday, benno's birthday. me metcard expired on the 23rd. pretty eventful.
OCTOBER
joined the gym i think. start using a 3 week free pass and go as much as i can to make the most of it. sarah IMAX had another awesome party. i met carol. steph got mad. i was upset. uncle left for CHINA - got to housesit for them in the mansion where i got paid to do so. had a little dinner party where i cooked. successfully. mmm saw ERASERHEAD @ ACMI with rob... freaked me out. rob had his 21st on the 25th. found out news that i didnt deal with well. stopped talking to certain people and life generally becomes shit again
NOVEMBER
charlie arrived again. got my taxes back - have to pay nearly 300 clams back. paid li-kim off. now free of debt. all my crime money has pretty much gone. polish festival is on in FED SQUARE same day as sarah chuah and i go watch ALADDIN on the big screen. 5 dollars. went to filming of new chris lilley comedy for the ABC - danced like a dick and will regret it when i see it being aired and im "krumping" next to 'ja'mie' from we can be heroes. but cool coz im on TV
went to VCA grad show, took carol. got drunk of 3 tiny glasses of champaigne. afterwards went to pancake parlour. even though i didnt pay - i told carol how much the place sucked and it was the worst food i've ever eaten. worked a fair bit. start seeing results from gym. slowly coming around on people i stopped talking to.
DECEMBER
sarah IMAX held another party. this time it was medical theme. i get told i look like "anime drag road kill" ... worked 5th & 6th where i got punched in the face by a psychopath. have some days off to work at the AFI awards where i met/saw a tonne of people including cate blanchett & harry potter ... on the 14th - officially rang centrelink for youth allowance payments. they are a joke but i continue with it anyway. still filling out forms and waiting.
christmas comes up. i get angry. carol tells me i have no spirit. im annoyed. people buying a shitload of presents. spent christmas with carol. ate lots. gym not open. saw HAPPY FEET... get all exicted. buy heaps of DVDS that i cant afford. get awesome presents from sarah, steve & carol. buy some more krispy kremes. 3rd box this month. .... wait for NEW YEARS EVE to approach and blog about my past year. have the whole say still ahead of me but continue to freak out.
that pretty much sums it up. if i have left anything out... please let me know. "things ben forgot" might make an appearance in 2007.

fatty fatty boombah
well, it was eatmas day yesterday ... first of all, i will admit - i was online for some of the day - just to see what has happening ... but like the rest of melbourne, it was a ghost town! well... christmas eve finished - worked and then went to carols were i ate and ate even though it was like midnight - salads & fish & bread & cabbage stuff ... i dont know the name of any of these polish foods - but it was all sooooooooooooooo good. man, i thought asian was the way to go? nah, it seems "euro" is in. black is out.
ahahaha so, after having to put up with carol sleeping & sniffling for the night, we woke up and then had all the left-overs plus MORE that ella (carols mum) decided to make; even though there was going to be less people. good theory.
so, some more fam came over and put on "michael jacksons number one's" on the TV (nothing like a christmas dinner with MJ in the background) and then we ate and ate some more.
then it was over to sarah & li-kims house to give them some more food and to open the presents. this year i can totally say i had NO idea what i was going to be getting... even though i dont care if i get something or not... but anyways...
present number 1-
i was soooo like in shock. i mean, how nerdy can it get. a LOST action figure. incase anyone didnt know it's LOCKE - probably now my favourite character because he is all about faith and emo shit and "DON'T EVER TELL HIM WHAT HE CAN OR CAN'T DO. EVER!" it comes with a little audio box so you can play his voice over&over again. so, you can imagine what i did - i got my video camera out, lit some candles - made it look like real jungle - put on the LOST soundtrack - and filmed him from various angles. it was sooo cool - it looked so real!!! thanks to sarahK&steven for that one...
present number 2-
EXTRA'S SERIES 1&2 SCRIPTS.
"IS HE 'AVIN' A LAFF?" ohh man... thanks to carol for this. when i saw the present wrapped i was worried. i thought, hang on... doesnt she know i dont read? but i do read scripts of TV shows im obsessed with! YESSS! oh i was like in shock and the fact i kept stroking it and holding it so close to my body was a sign that carol had done well with the choice & i loved it. so, now im going to read it back to front and you will never hear me stop quoting lines from the show. just an example of how hilarious it is.
daniel radcliffe (aka harry potter) , andy & maggie are sitting in the catering van.
MAGGIE MAKES AN EXCUSE TO LEAVE
maggie: anyone want a drink?
daniel: yeah, get me a bourbon, would you babe?
maggie: well, i think it's just teas and coffees and things...
daniel: oh, yeah, then get me a cup of joe, would you? and make it strong. i dont like the weak shit. ooh.
HE CATCHES HIMSELF SWEARING AND LOOKS AROUND TO SEE IF HIS MUM HAS HEARD.
daniel: (conspiratorial) look, when she get's back, right, make some excuse and leave us alone, will you?
andy: what you got planned?
DANIEL PULLS OUT A CONDOM FROM HIS TOP POCKET, ALREADY UNWRAPPED. HE HOLDS IT UP.
andy: you've unravelled it.
daniel: ready for action. (he stretches it like a rubber band) just hope it's big enough.
THE CONDOM FLYS INTO THE AIR. DANIEL TURNS AROUND AND SEARCHES THE BUS FOR IT. IT HAS LANDED ON DAME DIANA RIGG'S FOREHEAD. LIKE A KID ASKING FOR HIS BALL BACK:
daniel: erm, can i have my Johnny back?
dame diana rigg: (correcting him) may i have my Johnny back.
daniel: may i have my Johnny back?
dame diana rigg: please.
daniel: yeah.
dame diana rigg: it's not called a Johnny though is it?
daniel: durex.
dame diana rigg: no, that's a brand name. may i have back my prophylactic or sheath?
daniel: may i have my prophaleck...
dame diana rigg: (correcting his pronounciation) ... tic
daniel: tic, prophylactic. Can i have it back please?
dame diana rigg: yes. (daniel takes back the condom and turns away) excuse me. haven't you forgotten something?
daniel: oh, thank you, dame diana.
DANIEL BEGINS TO PUT THE CONDOM BACK IN HIS POCKET.
andy: still going to use it, yeah?
daniel: yeah, that'll be fine.
andy: lucky girl.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
it's effing hilarious and it was an excellent day. finished it off with watching "die hard" for the first time ... nothing like a traditional christmas movie!
xoxoxo
thanks to all and happy holidays! love ben
p.s - coming soon - my top ten films of 2006

god bless you guys
the only thing saving me from doing my wrists in at work right this second are these men.
can you believe some woman had the fucking nerve to ask me to "turn down that rubbish" she couldnt think of the shit movies she wanted to rent. fucking hell.
merry christmas lady. you're a turd.

where was i last night?
mmm... christmas eve's eve. and where was i early on in the evening? well, i was in the city - spending money on things i DONT need ... but JB was closing in 10 minutes and i thought i had a chance to buy some presents... for myself.
so, met up with carol because apparently she had said "we'd" both go to this art exhibition somewhere in brunswick... now, recently we had been to the VCA exhibition - and it was great success. i was drunk from 3 tiny glasses of wine and there were tonnes of good art works, and all the hotties too was pretty cool. last night had nothing.
we arrived to find this dodgy building that was ... like, a production designers movie set dream. it was so full of shit and crap everywhere it looked like a set. this huge open space with grit and mess and food scraps and just mess EVERYWHERE. so, after a couple of calls to confim we were infact at the right place we finally met up with carol's friend. she's sweet, but she's what i have called her a "buddhist hippie lesbian" as she dresses like most of those people. (her next door neighbour unknown to me was infact the buddhist temple of melbourne) anyways... IT WAS AWKWARD. LIKE, SERIOUSLY. I HAD TO LEAVE.
apparently we were quite early, even though it started @ 8 - we later found out that there was a $10 entry fee which i was so shocked at, i had to stop myself from laughing about. seriously, it was like, wire and rust on a floor with a bit of plastic and an arm from a doll. HOW IS THAT ART? I DON'T GET IT. to me - it just looks like someone emptied hard trash day on a wooden floor. and there was all sorts of crazy people there. no, well.. there was about 3 people there. one dude had a tree painted on his face and was so stoned it was a fucking cliche.
don't get me wrong - i have nothing against these people... i just wish i understood their lifestlyle. so, we thought, give it a little longer and checked the place out some more... went downstairs to check out the "band" who actually practices in a room made of mud & straw bails. it was this dark and quite open space with a lamp in the corner. i could see a few figures in the distance but i wasnt going to approach them. instead, i laughed and then ran the fuck outta there.
ten minutes later carol and i made our pathetic excuses and left. like, bolted out from the premises. a guy carrying 3 boxes of avocados passed us. weird.

christmas chaos
holy shit stick santa... all this madness over you... it's driving me crazy!
well, as you can tell, it has been a fair while in between blogs. last time it was my ass on fire... now it's my brain. im currently at work (dont worry, im safe here) and it's crazy. in my 3 hours of being here i have sold so many DVDS it's making me sick. and im seriously losing any sense of sensibility... im giving bags out for 2 dvds... meh... and going out my way to make sure people are being looked after.
explain - indian guy (who, i have realised are so demanding and rude) wants me to bring out something from his flash drive, come around the counter so he can check which documents are printing, and then laminate his freakin' shit... i didnt let him around the counter - but everything else i did... and then, he wants to pay for ALL of my precious fucking time on visa... for $2 ... and then he is like, "oh well, i don't have any money... what can i do" all in an apu accent which drove me crazy... so, then... i give all that to him for FREE!!! it took my 10 minutes, paper, ink, power to run the printer... GRRRRRR-INCH!
meh.... so, if anyone says i dont have christmas spirit ... i will tell them the time i helped apu!
it's still so fucking hot too... even after all the rain... im sweating at work.... eeeek.
ooooh, news just in... after "umming" & "arghing" about what to put on, i decide on "romeo must die" because i wanted something loud and punchy .... after thinking, oooooh.. maybe it's too violent and stuff, even thought it's rated 'm+15' i thought... it cant be worse or more offensive than the upcoming piece of shit "little man" ... anyways... blah blah blah... movie is on... then who should come in at the most violent point... a white woman with two children that were actually black... and the son looked like her was at least 15 .... she was renting the lion king, cat in the cat, agent cody banks... people like that always worry me because i think she has taken these poor children and locked them up in a room making them watch children's movie when the son is old enough to be online with a webcam wanking online with a girl who is actually a man who could possibly be his father!!!! hey, it could happen!
fuck im hungry, last night was the uncle's christmas feed and as usual all of us ate an excessive amount of food... carol joined in and brought along a banana cake which was goooooooooooooood ... i seriously dont think i have eaten so much turkey at one moment. it felt like 2.5 kilo's of turkey.
so, i look forward to another feast of dip/crackers/cheese on christmas day with whoever i am spending my day with.
enough of the blog... i gotta serve some freakin' customers... one fat guy with a wooden leg and santa hat. seriously.
nah, not really.

content may disturb
holy shit. im seriously shitting my pants as of late. fuck. a few days ago i ate some indian food made by carols sister - iza - and also had a hard boiled egg. and then, the next day... at melbourne central, i sat on the toilet for approximately 25 minutes getting it all out. it was nasty. and now, several days later, just when i thought it was safe to breathe again... i'm letting out ones that smell like the gas that comes out of the volcanoes in NZ ... fucking horrible stuff. so, if anyone wants to get me something for christmas, send me deoderant sticks, incense, musking agent, glenn 20... send me anything!!!!
HELP ME!!!

two weeks notice
first of all, sorry... it has been so long since i last wrote something... anything at all...
recent highlights for those who are out of the loop include
recent highlights for those who are out of the loop include
- 2 nights around aussie celebs @ the AFI awards
- getting punched in the face @ video ezy
- quitting previously mentioned job after getting punched in the face
- trying to find a new job
- dealing with "christmas joy" & worrying about "presents"
- auditioning for a new TV game show with a "high school sweetheart"
well, as most of you know, i was involved in another assault case whilst at work (video ezy) ... the first time i was held up with a knife in early february and this time i was punched in the face just over a week ago when an irrate customer decided his $50 late fee was out of control and that i didnt respect him and im just trying to make life hard for him because he is a concession!
SO AM I YOU FUCK, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE RULES AND DONT HIT OTHER FUCKS IN THE FACE WITH YOUR FIST...
enough of that... so, basically he is being charged with minor assault and i might possibly have to go to court and give evidence and blah blah...
"it's all just a little bit of history repeating..."
.......
AFI AWARDS
just to brag a little, i was in a room with the following people
- cate blanchett
- emily barclay
- rolf de heer
- daniel radcliffe (HARRY POTTER!!!)
- geoffrey rush
- heath ledger
- abbie cornish
- baz luhrmann & catherine martin
- eric bana
- danni minogue
just to name a few... anyways, it was an awesome night - although, last year was alot better when i ended up in a taxi with the movie show dude (dvd guy) marc & danced away with julia zemiero (that woman who hosts rockwiz & rules "thank-god you're here!" ... and embraced bazzy with all my arms...
meh, that's all the exciting stuff for now... sorry about the delay... im going to write more soon!

chatterbox
i was in JB HI-FI when i overheard the following conversation between 2 guys, probably about 16 yr old or around that age... anyways, we were in the BOX SET section when i heard them exchange the following dialogue.
guy1 - nah, i wouldn't get them. you already have x-men 1.5 & x-men 2 don't you?
guy2 - yeh. but, i want all three of them in the box collection.
guy1 - oh, i know what you mean. but, when you get home... and you have these 3 movies, are you going to have them sitting in the single disc shelves with the spins out? or, are you going to put them on your box set shelves...
this is when i was shocked. not only does he have allocated sections for single disc & box set editions, but he has more than 1 space. i continued to listen.
guy2 - well, i mean, my box set section is getting pretty big. maybe i can sell the other ones? and then just keep these...
guy1 - hang on... does set have x-men 1.5 or does it just have x-men 1?this is when i was shocked again. these kids were awesome. i wanted to go up and talk to them. i was too scared as their knowledge seemed superior to mine.
guy2 - oh, hang on. i can't remember which version i have at home.that's pretty much all that took place. but, i thought it was pretty hilarious. man, the nerds are great. soooo entertaining.
another conversation took place on the frankston line.
girl1 - wow. you have lost so much weight. i can't believe it.
girl2 - yeh i know huh? well, i was on drugs for the past 2 weeks so i reckon that probably had something to do with it.
girl1 - well, still... you look hot.
i had to turn away before i started to laugh. they were f-ugly.
guy1 - nah, i wouldn't get them. you already have x-men 1.5 & x-men 2 don't you?
guy2 - yeh. but, i want all three of them in the box collection.
guy1 - oh, i know what you mean. but, when you get home... and you have these 3 movies, are you going to have them sitting in the single disc shelves with the spins out? or, are you going to put them on your box set shelves...
this is when i was shocked. not only does he have allocated sections for single disc & box set editions, but he has more than 1 space. i continued to listen.
guy2 - well, i mean, my box set section is getting pretty big. maybe i can sell the other ones? and then just keep these...
guy1 - hang on... does set have x-men 1.5 or does it just have x-men 1?this is when i was shocked again. these kids were awesome. i wanted to go up and talk to them. i was too scared as their knowledge seemed superior to mine.

full circle
AGES ago i watched the film "benchwarmers" ... you know, the really fucking shit movie? yeh, ok. now try this on for size.
it was saturday afternoon and apparently my house wanted to play some cricket. (not baseball like in the movie) so, sarah, steve, pree (who is the guest of the week) and i all went down to the park to play some "sport" ... now, we all looked pretty ficking stupid. jeans, sunnies... shiny shoes? it was pretty bad. so, i decided that we looked like the "benchwarmers" those loser people that never get any action on the playing field. and then we all talked about how stupid that movie was blah blah blah...
so, after a little while of playing the game i saw this lil' kid running around the oval by himself. as he went past i asked him...
"hey man, i'll give ya a race?"
he was cute and small and black and his little white teeth smiled and replied...
"YEH!"
oh, i loved it. anyways, his name was Ubal. we shook hands.
so, needless to say i won the race. it was 100m and i did have my fast shoes on. even though i gave this kid a 50 m headstart he was still hopeless. just messing. he was awesome. we high-5ed and then he continued running off into the sun.
...
10 minutes later of more playing cricket, Ubal comes back and says...
"i was talking to my mum and she said i could play cricket with you"
"YES!!!"
needless to say i was excited. anyways, we all went back to playing and it was fun times. he was pretty good. and i think he was a little pissed we werent taking the game as serious as he was.
another 10 minutes... and then this other kid comes running up behind me...
"UBAL, UBAL! .. what are you doing?"
all of a sudden there was about 15 kids playing cricket with us. all serious as fuck. actually running when they hit the ball (yeh, um, that never happened with us) ... switching teams. bowling the ball totally proper. actually wanting to chase the ball when someone hit it far. oh, it was incredible.
then, TROUBLE. CONFLICT.
"he's out. get out. i'm next. i'm next. i wanna bat. me! me!"
"NAHHH, I WAS SAFE!!!!"
tough call. someone had to say something.
sarahk- "look, im the oldest... he was safe. give him another chance."
toughkid- "YEH, WELL, I'M THE YOUNGEST. AND I'M UMPY! UMPY!!!
he continued to chase sarah for short while with his fists. i never seen her run that fast in my life. (she's generally like a turtle. get's there in the end.)
and then... in a move that was so bold. they brought on a soccer ball. i knew what was happening. it was all suddenly making sense. these kids didnt love our company... they were just using us as a warm up to their soccer game!
1 minute later.
"ok, see-ya.." "good game guys" "yeh, have fun..."
WE HAD BEEN SHAFTED. BY A GROUP OF FUCKING KIDS.
therefore making it full circle.
ouch.
