The One with Mt. Barney

I cannot believe I have just hiked the tallest mountain in South-East QLD. Wait, the aches in my body can. Man, mountains were made to kill, I swear. Anyone who finds enjoyment in mountain hiking, please explain. I mean, after walking up a 1360m mountain and back, my body aches like crazy. The view was awesome, but the aches in my joints simply ruined it, damnit I should've taken photos.

On top of that, when my hiking group got to the top, it rained. Of course, someone up there really felt like picking on poor Greeny. So I had to swiftly climb back down the mountain or else end up with heaps of volts inside my body. And when you rush down a mountain as steep as Mt. Barney, you are guaranteed to cut yourself. I have several cuts, some I didn't even know I had skin. And on top of that I had to pay $10. $10 for a cutting, tiring, painfully long hike which was only good for the view.

Man I need to find something less tiring to do. I seriously need to go the gym more. I fail to see how so much effort can be so much fun. I wish the track was car accessible, that would've been awesome XD (and dangerous and probably life-threatening).

Hoping to go bowling with some mates on the holidays, WOOT. Hope to go to Yamba, WOOT. Going to do work and own money, >: (. All together that makes it an average holiday for an average guy. Can't complain.

Until next time, keep smiling and remember that if life gives you lemonades, find some sugar and make lemonade!

The One with the Apology for being so inconsistent

Ok guys, yea, heheh sorry for being so inconsitent btw. Keep forgetting that you guys exist. Well things are pretty hectic atm, I mean I'm a teen what can you expect XD. I'm a nerdy teen though so that sorta puts me in the worst-case scenario of any teenager.
I keep getting these urges to tell you guys some pretty private stuff, but things like that do end up haunting you for the rest of your life, and well, not gonna happen.
This Blog is for getting a lot of stress off my shoulders, not to create new ones, and also to try and make you guys laugh a little (does is work :D)

I've become a real fan of the show "Lie To Me". It's the best show ever, and it would be SO AWESOME if I could tell when someone lies to me. Think of all the dilemnas that could be solved, and made, because of it. And Hey, I'd be awesome at Poker XD.
But really, what would you do if you could tell if someone was lying. Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you!

Well, I'm gonna catch up with my good friends, Booth and Bones. (Don't know what the hell I'm talking about? You need to watch TV)

The One with the rejected podcast

Heh Heh,
Problem was no-one showed up! I didn't get a single person to talk to me about their 'special' talents. So here's the deal. The one that can give me the most original talent and can somehow prove it to me will win a prize.
Ready for it?
A New Mobile Phone
How Awesome is that?
But I need at least 3 people. If no-one shows up or only two or less, then no-one gets the prize.
Make friends with me on 'lifeofgreeny' on Skype and demonstrate to me your special talent.
Then I will tell you who the lucky guy/girl is on the next show. You will receive your prize at school on Monday!
Every show will podcast from each Saturday night.

Thanks

The One with the Podcast

Ok guys, I'm really sick and tired of typing up what I have to say. I'm thinking of moving to something a little more accepted-way of getting my message out, by Podcasting. I'm gonna get my voice out into the open (however only to verified friends of GreenDog XD) but don't worry, I'll do a brief summary still if you have to slower computers to handle my voice (doubt it).

If you want to get your voice into the podcast, you can. It's easy, all you have to do is.
A) Get Skype
B) Call me at the designated time
C) Tell me your name and I'll get ready to record you
D) Start interacting.

Our first topic shall start on this Thursday 7:00pm AEST. The topic is "Do you have a special talent that no-one in your friend group has?" You must add me on skype before then.

My Skype address is - lifeofgreeny

But if you want to check out what's happening before it happens go to my Twitter - https://twitter.com/lifeofgreeny

Or my PodBean - http://lifeofgreeny.podbean.com/

and I have to use Skype cause it's the only program I can record calls on, sozzy.

Comment if you think you're willing to get your voice on the air.

Catcha round,

The One with Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Ok Girls, the content of this blog is based around video games. If none of this interests you either read other entries or have a geek/nerd supervise you.

Click here to level up my card!
I love playing SSBB! Mine main character is, obviously, Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't know, there's something quite relaxing about beating the crap out of some cartoon character with Sonic the Hedgehog. Makes my social battle very much worth it. Sending Mario flying with 160% damage makes me wanna cry with joy. Oh well, I also love running rapidly around the world on Sonic Unleashed!

What games do you like to play? Comment!

Had a five-hour shift @ work today. I've been away for two weeks so I was a little sloppy. Man, working for others makes you appreciate how cool it is that all those people are working just for me!

Oh, before I go, just to find out how many people are actually reading my blog. If you comment on my post I promise you that I'll give $1 at school!

Oh Well, g2g, talk 2 you l8er!

The One with the Spy Who Shagged ME

That's right, notice the title. At NZ I got a cool large-screen TV in my hotel room and watched Austin Powers on 3 at 7:30pm. Now what other TV station would do that?

Oh Man, NZ is awesome, when you're not there. The places I went to were small, rural towns that felt abandoned. I seriously wondered whether if the population of New Zealand was 6. Then I went to Christchurch on the last day and I realized that the road we took was more scenic and avoided big towns like Christchurch :(

Oh Well, I did quite a lot: Skiing (learnt it in two days), Internet Cafe, Cadbury Factory, Arthur's Pass, quite a lot.

Have you guys been to NZ's South Island? Drop me a line.

I would write more but I feel extremely tired (due to the timezone difference) and shall head off to bed to recuperate.

Until then, enjoy the last days of your holidays.

The One with the Kiwis

Calling from NZ with 5 minutes left on my internet cafe time.
HEY GUYS!
So long since I updated, hope you haven't missed me (don't really need to worry about that though XD). Ok, so much to catch up on that I might need 2 talk about when I get home! Like how I learned to ski in 2 days (YES it is possible) and other.
I've been (nearly) everywhere man! Wanaka, Queenstown, Christchurch, basically the entire southern island of New Zealand. It's very isolated compared to Sydney and all that. The only thing I really enjoy here is how they say sex instead of six XD cannot stop laughing at that.
While I'm over here I've been enjoying "The Rainmaker" by John Grisham. It is one of the funniest books I have ever read. It starts off a bit dark and sad but once it gets to the court scenes you just laugh until you cry.
How have your holidays been. They're nearly over now but I feel like it's only just begun. Can't wait to see you all again and give an update about how my journey through New Zealand was.
That about wraps it up. I'll give a less brief summary later.

The One with the King of Pop in it

Michael Jackson
1958 - 2009
The world respects you and always will!

I reckon Michael Jackson's songs are really cool and have cool messages behind them! Like "Beat It", one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard. I love the F.O.B. (Fall Out Boy) Remix. It is a great way to bring life into a classic. I listen to it frequently and wished I had $1.69 on ITunes to buy it. XD

I love that kind of music. Cool sounding and has a message behind the song. Like "Black or White" and "I'm Not Ashamed". I think songs need to stop being blank and empty. We need more fulfilling songs.
Instead of "blah blah blah I like women blah blah blah I like 'em hot blah blah" there's already enough of that out there.

All the tests are eliminated in the school curriculum for this term. YEAH! Party like it's 2009 CAUSE IT IS!!!! I mean, we've all been waiting for this day, let's not end it early. Come on and dance.

Until next time, enjoy life and live it 2 th max!

The One with the Poem in it!

Hey Guys!
I was bored the other day and I sat on my bed wondering what I was gonna do during the wee small hours of the night. I looked at a blank book at where I usually write my stories (way too long to fit in here LOL) and a thought came to me. Could've been God, could've been my midlife crisis kicking in or I could be going crazy. Whichever one you like, pick! It told me to write out a poem as if I was giving it to a girl I liked. I responded, and that is how you know you are crazy if you actually respond to the voice in your head, "what the hell? A poem. Dude, if you hadn't noticed I am a man. I have a male mind and a male body with its bonus packaging." But the voice kept on insisting so I decided to put it out of its misery.
I wrote a three page poem (but it was centred so it's probably not that big) and I have decided to share it with the world today. Like it or loath it, tell me how you feel about it.

Why Love?

What is this thing called love?

No-one can explain.

It flies and flutters like a snowy dove,

it makes us go insane.

It fills us 'till we overflow

It makes us feel bran new.

Your brain forgets what you'd just thought.

And makes it focus on you,

You and him/her, always together.

You wish the thought could last.

You could sit and think of him/her forever.

But time just goes too fast.

You want to tell him/her how you feel.

But nothing comes out right.

Your sentences sound like a dog's meal

His/Her face is just too bright.

You walk away, feeling rather down.

You can't say a word anymore.

Your smile just turned into a frown.

You sit down and you mourn.

Mourn that you could have spoken to him/her

And told him/her how you feel.

From this nightmare you wish you'd woken

Your pride begins to peel.

Love works in the most mysterious ways.

But never give him/her up now.

Just wait the weeks or even days

It'll work just don't ask how.

If I could tell you, there would be no joy.

Your love life would get bent.

But if you do wait and get him/her, oh boy

Now that was a life well spent.

Next time you see him/her pass you by

Don't be afraid to speak.   

Just start talking and if you try

You may date him/her within a week.

Love is given to us by God.

So we can all belong.

When we get it, we feel rather odd.

But love, it's never wrong.

I swear, I am a male and I'm not in love yet! XD!

Until next time...keep on juicing!

Yours Truly, Faithfully, Sincerely, etc, etc.

The One with the Emotional Roller-Coaster

For those friends fanatics you may notice that my titles revolve around their style. I find it's easier for people to find the right one that way XD.

Man being a teenager can be difficult if you're in the wrong place, wrong time and wrong world. We all suffer from temporary depression where we look at others and ask why do they get all the luck? Is it something our mothers and fathers did and this was their punishment? To make us stand out of the crowd like a dot  in a stripe pattern.

Yesterday I consulted someone (to protect their identity, the person shall be refered to as Cindy) about my current situation as a person. It was just one of those times where I slapped myself thinking that I didn't fit in anywhere. I looked at other people and how they talk to their friends and want to ask how they do it? How do you make friends with people? I seem to have social idolitry syndrome (remember, this is what I thought). Cindy was very comforting and helped build me up (we all  need a Cindy in our lives).I learnt that other people had problems as well and that people who look invincible usually have chinks in their armour.

Do you guys have stories you wanna share? Maybe you feel like you don't fit in either? Just put yourself as anonymous and tell me all about your situations.

Very Short Blog, I know but I can't think of much.

Oh yea, stupid english exam.

I swear, I must have got red eyes from staring at a piece of paper for decades apparantly "studying". We needed to write a newspaper report based on the classic story of "The Merchant of Venice" by Shakespeare. Man oh man, you think that writing a newspaper article is hard, you're not allowed to write "as" because of the so-called "actiive tense". That was a load of bull, picked up the Courier Mail (good newspaper) and looked to my dismay. There were 10,000000000000 "as"s. Someone needs to take a good look at a newspaper someday.

Ok, that's it. Until Next Time...

Yours Truly, Faithfully, Sincerely, etc,etc...

Just a Quick Update 1

I now finally play Shooting Games! Not that I'm purposely trying to fit in *cough cough* but now I can say, YES I PLAY SHOOTING GAMES! I'M A NORMAL TEENAGE GUY! I play Medal of Honor Airbourne btw and hopefully am getting Call Of Duty 4!

The One With the Tests

Ughh...tests. Personally, if I had to compare tests to something, it would be a needle. You do it for your benefit but it's the last thing in the world you'd want to do but you want to do it quickly so that it's over and done with. I have had two Japanese tests and have another one to go, followed by English and Maths >:(. Not complaining mind, but it can be stressful on a guy/girl. I think they need to find a way to make these tests more fun, you know like a video game where if you get to level 10 you get an A
Level 8 - B
Level 7 to 5 - C
Level 4 -3 - D
Level 2 - E
and Level 1 means that you're either not taking the test or you're a complete retard.
Writing it out on a piece of paper is not fun, it's not something we'd want to do and actually spend time and effort to make sure we can do it. I mean, take maths for example, I do really well because I have an IPod and I'm excited that I can use it during maths. I learn more without having to focus on anyone around me, making it a great learning environment. However, English is completely boring and provides no fun whatsoever. You may as well sit down, look at the wall, and write out ten pages about it, because it's a big nothing. All you really have to do is pass and then you don't give a crap.

But hey, once it's over, it's holidays. I CANNOT w8! I'm going to New Zealand on the holidays to see the kiwis (the bird and the people) and go endless skiing. This will be my first trip overseas and I really can't wait for it. It's sorta weird though, the whole process of getting a passport takes years in itself. And you can't smile which really sucks, it makes you look like you're heading for a prison cell and they take your ID. Do they honestly think the other country's gonna let us in when we look like we wanna strangle them all? I mean comeon! Let's smile and show them that we're happy and peaceful, instead of looking like we're going there because our wives/husbands forced us to.

Skiing apparantly really works out the legs so I have to do all this training on the legs. I think that sucks because I go to gym to buff up and allow people to actually look at me and not run away in fear. The legs are the least noticed place, I think, that people are gonna look, so why work them out? I mean yeah, they require you to run, then just do cardio. Nope. I've gotta do the whole top-to-toe exercise. So I'm at the gym for a long time listening to reruns of my favourite songs (which is not bad) but I mainly want to build up the biceps first so I can look more like Schwarzenegger (as if, I don't take steriods).

Finally, I feel like I'm a teenage physchologist (in a good way). It feels really cool when I listen to other people's problems and try to solve them. I guess it runs in the family, but I have tried to solve people's problems by telling them to believe in themselves and stuff like that. It feels really god, it's like you're taking stress off other people and doing them a favour. If everyone listened, we wouldn't have to shout, that's what I think anyway. There'd be less hatred, because we could all spill our guts onto someone else and they'd understand and try to help you through the potholes of life. That's why God provides us with friends, so that when life chucks stuff like that at us, we're good to go! Got any problems? Dial 1800-Greeny (please don't as you'll get to a wrong number)

Until Next Time "Parting is such sweet sorrow"

Hey, if Rachel can quote Shakespeare, so can I!

The One with the Digimon Movie in it!

Just to start, thanks Rach for the follow! XD.
OMG! I've got One Week by BareNaked Ladies stuck in my head. I remember hearing it on the DigiMon movie. Oh Man, good times, good times. Madi and I were talking about it over MSN just recently and we were talking about back when we were all younger and we all were still trying to learn what 1 + 2 was, instead of now trying to figure out the space-time continuum theory. I was always a fan of Tai and Agumon, I just loved the DigiMon movie and seeing the true origin where Ty and AguMon first meet (man, agumon sure was dumb (speaking-wise) all he could do was growl). I'm having those blues again, where I look back and sigh. Why does time pass us by so fast though? God should've found some way to add more hours to our day. It seems weird that a teenager is already realizing that time is too short, but I am kinda phylosophical (and dorky) for my age. I even came up with my own human being thesis. I believe that being human means to stretch our boundaries, make the impossible, possible and being human means to love and to hate, smile and to frown, laugh and to cry, forgive and to forget. Pretty weird huh?

But back to childhood, don't you remember those days, when the worst fear in the world was someone else's parents (when you did something wrong). I would love going home and straight away flinging myself onto the couch, potato chips in hand, and watching non-stop cartoons. Who agrees? Now it's all study, study, gym, study, study, church, etc, etc. I swear, we're being pwned by little kids if they can manage their time better than us! XD.

Who loved those classic cartoons though? Like Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, PokeMon, Flintstones and Loony Tunes, before they came up with this corrupting crap such as Family Guy, which lures kids into doing stuff that really makes the world go flat. True, I love that comedy, but kids think it's a cartoon and dive headfirst into it. Whether it's on the TV or on YouTube. It's sad, I really think it is. I see cases of it at my school where some people have obviously watched way too much violence and corrupting television without having a break and looking at shows that can actually change you as a person, or doing things that could change them spiritually. I'm not pointing anyone out here, but I think we need to change our point of view of what children can intake before this gets out of hand.

Tell me what you think.
Until then, Goodnight Australia and everywhere else.

Yours Truly, Sincerely, Faithly, etc,etc.

The One with the Part Time Job

I have a part-time job (which for my security shall be unnamed). I have this feeling, and I don't know if this is common, where I go to work feeling lousy and hoping that the time will pass quickly. But once I get into the job, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I guess I have quite a bit of pessimism when it comes to work. Not that I hate work, mind. I love my job, I think it's a fantastic opportunity to be in the workforce and to provide for other people, I just get this feeling that I won't make it and that I'll come crashing down by the end of it. But in the end, I like it, after all it's good pay and it makes the days go faster.

When I get the money though, I dunno, I sometimes spend it like there's no tomorrow, or sometimes I act more sensibly and save it up for the future obstacles. I don't even need to ask if anyone out there is like that. Practically, everyone has their ups and downs. Yesterday I spent $44 on video games. That's massive! I really need to save my money, after all the holidays don't pay for themselves.

What are you going to be doing on the holidays? Some people are staying home, or going to Greece. Me? I'm going to the land of the kiwis. That's right, New Zealand mate! I plan to go skiing pretty much straight away, it's an experience I've never been able to do before. Apparently, I need to buff up my legs in order to be good at the skis. X(. That's gonna be difficult. I've only just started growing the tinniest of biceps and and triceps and now I've gotta take the flab off my thighs too? Oh well, back to the gym.

Do many teenagers actually go to gym though? I really don't hear many stories about teens pumping iron. I go there basically for cardio and a general workout. I've only heard the odd couple of stories about people going to gym and people start going "wow" when they see my gym membership tag on my keychain. Is it really that weird that I'm going to gym XD?

Oh Well, better get to work soon. Until next time,

Yours Truly, Sincerely, Faithly,etc,etc.

The One with the Poker Banning

I was at home 2nite, playing 500 with some mates of mine. I was dealing out my hand with my Sonic the Hedgehog cards (I know, how dorky can I be) and I began wondering, is this really that big a deal? At my school, apparantly, Texas Hold 'Em is not allowed to be played because it encourages gambling. May I note before I continue that when I play there is no buy in price. I'm restricted to staying @ home and playing with my dad and some of his friends, because I don't have any school friends, period, or anyone who wants to play. Why is it banned, it's a fun, social game and it was my way of making friends, now my school has ruined it. Guess I'll have to do it the conventional way of manning up and talking to someone, :D.

Another thing, I have this major pressure about my subject selection. ITS, IPT and Graphics is fine but I'm tied up between Physics and Japanese. Physics I do really well in and get As and the occasional B. With Japanese I get straight Bs though. I chose Physics in the end but my Jap teacher keeps giving little hints to change my mind. I'm so confused. What am I going to do? Which path would be better for me? I wish these decisions were a lot easier. If anyone can help me make my decision, it would be appreciated.

I'm working on a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG (Yay) and is currently at 10% completeion. I have been working on it for a month, so averaging it out, it'll take 10 months to complete. I have the patience, plus there's a crappy demo version on my DeviantART (www.sonicmon.deviantart.com). Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, this is open to everyone but would suit the people who actually know me, should I go to a youth program. I have been pondering over this and can't decide whether I should or should not go. I feel like a geek who wouldn't fit it. I don't know if that's my pessemistic side talking, but I'm not sure. I feel like I won't fit in at all and that I'll stick out from the crowd (although I do anyway). What should I do? Can anyone give me advice?

Thanks for having the patience to read this massive blog.

Yours Truly, faithly, sincerely,etc,etc.

Wednesday 2nd September 2009 - The One with the New Post

Ok, new post, new post, new post.
Hey Guys!
Uhh...
nothing really planned here.
New blog you see so..heh...heh.
How are you?
I'm good.
Well not really, you see...I have been learning Japanese as a subject for x number of years now (I think about 7 years) and had decided that it was time to give it up before it affected my OP next year. However, wat I found out was that, because of that I can't participate in the two-week Japanese tour.
Wat a slap in the face!
Can't complain though, I gave it up. But really, it did feel unfair that after all I've done that they still won't allow me to go on a single two week vacation. Geez!
Oh well, as long as I have access to a computer, I'm cool.
Wat about you.
You're probably not even here now?
That's cool.
No-one's probably gonna read this anyway.
Who likes the Hamish and Andy tour of America. OMG that is the best. I love those guys, the nation supports them. I even donated 50c towards the hover-thingy. XD YAY!
Better sign off, got nothing beta in my life to tell you about anyway.
CYA.
P.S. Does anyone know the difference between a crush and someone you actually love? LOL
