Viva la Vida lyrically from Coldplay seems to sum up the feelings at the moment, though musically Metallica's Lowman's Lyric captures the mood better. Another scotch, some more laments in the key of G on the guitar and then bed.

Bye Bye Stokesy
Probably nothing pisses off a coach more then a player who doesn't lift because he's unaware he's down in the first place. Now Chappy Chap looks like a monte for returning and Bomber has given Varcoe, Kelly and Woosher immunity cards (well technically they themselves EARNT those immunity cards by their performances Fri night) there seems to be only one candidate left, Stokes.
His comments on the gfc website do nothing for his cause. Firstly he highlights how important Chapman is for the forward line, talk about digging your own grave! Secondly his comments intimated that Chapman gets others to lift by verbally grabbing them round the scruff of the neck and giving a yank. He also intimated that some in the forward line needed that.
It seems like Stokes is so busy looking at other's flaws he's forgotten to look at himself.
I mean even if Stokes wasn't under performing the fact both him and Chapman are marking small forwards argues that for team balance he's a candidate for omission given that Chap can play midfield and Stokes cannot. Which is something the fella should work on really, building up that tank to give another midfield option.
However just look at the stats. The only other players with less disposals then Stokes were:
Blake, who still had 11 hit outs and is an unquestionable inclusion.
Rook, who booted more fucking goals then Stokes despite playing in defence and is ten times as hard
Lonergan who suffered from the scragging, poor supply and a couple of slip overs. Lonergan ran 110m at one point after a turn-over from his slip over, laid a tackle that resulted in turn-over in Geelong favour for the ball to be run down for a Cats goal. His endevaour could not be questioned last night, as opposed to Stokes. Lonergan is only a chance of omission if Bomber believes that the forward line is too tall. Also, Tom is in his first year and does display some of the first year jitters of a rookie playing finals. But honestly I think dropping Lonergan would MAKE the team unbalanced rather then correct an imbalance.
So both from Dad's perspective, my perspective now the old man has brought it to my attention, and the disposal count Stokes may be the shock exclusion come the Grand Final. I probably wasn't fully convinced until his interview comments which contrast remarkedly from the usual Cat's line of humbleness and perspective. Seems to me Stokes has lost his perspective. One bloke that doesn't lose perspective is Bomber. Look out Stokesy!

One Day More
One last game left for the Cats 2008 campaign! You fucking ripper! And Travis Varcoe FINALLY did something! In fact multiple somethings going from 4 possessions midway through first half to 18 by game's end. Constantly presenting across half forward he gave the ever-toiling Ablett a consistent option especially in that last term when few from either team had run left. The Dogs tried for 4 quarters, throwing everything at us but we still withstood and still won by 5 goals. Bring on the Grand Final!
Geeeeelooonnng!

No Comment
From now on, in issues to do with PG's life, I think I shall answer: No comment when queried.
Because it seems after asking where I'm going to move or what I'm going to do after the degree, etc etc people take this as carte blanche for giving their misinformed, illinformed, or just plain stupid opinions on these subjects. No thankee Killick!
Take renting a flat. "Waaeewaeeewaaaeee Melbourne rental market is tight" is the oft cited warning. Well there's so many fucking flats in the areas I'm looking at it's too much. My notepad is full. Shove that in your pipe and smoke it naysayers!
I'm off to bed big game tomorrow.

Ahhhhh the RIA!
And no I don't mean Radioactive ImmunoAssay. I mean Random Incompetent Assassin. These always show up in spy thrillers, dutifully shooting the RID or Random Irrelevant Dude (or dudette) while the Hero circles round the RIA's six and takes the RIA out. And then goes on vengeance spree more often then not as RID is often a randomly generated loved one.
And yes watching the Bourne Ultimatum.

The Trifecta!
Today I got to
a: Watch the Catters flog St Kilda at the G!
b: Catch up with Tonybob and Jimbob and Tony'shousepersonbob after the game at the London
c: Be a smart arse on my Statistics forum. See if you read previous post you would realise that I've completed the current assignment. And I've dutifully sprinkled my answers all over the Stats forum to
a: infuriate the lecturer
b: confuse EVERYONE! I've gone in like two weeks from a forum nuisance to a forum Yoda of infinite statistics wisdom! People won't know what to think. Maw ah ha ha ha ha! Ahhh, mortals.

Unusual
So, after finishing a Statistics assignment, determining probabilities and the like, I reward myself with a nice, relaxing.....jog. Actually a moonlit jog through Monash University is just the ticket to shake out the cobwebs, part of my course involving tracking up to the top deck of a multi-layered carpark then, naturally, coming back down.
When I got to the top tonight though what the hell would be the probability of encountering,
a car
a man in a wheel chair
a woman
and
a dog.
What the hell? Why parked at Monash at that hour, and why parked on the very top level? As I jogged past they were probably just as surprised to see a bloke jogging up and down a car park.
Anywho another Saturday spent on assignments and chores. But tomorrow FINALS TIME! Carn the CATTERS!!!

OMG
It's hard to fathom HOW one can fuck up such a seeming lay down misere as Hitman. All you need is a tall, thickset bald dude with a gravely voice running around for 90 minutes, acting like a complete arsehole, killing everyone. So basically Payback with a bald dude.
Well they fucked up on all counts in the casting of 47, using a skinny weaner with an even weanier voice. Honestly we all thought the cockhead playing Anakin in Ep 2,3 was bad casting (which it was). However you cannot seriously fuck up your casting of a lead (or anyone) more then the casting of 47 was fucked up. Think Chernobyl-size fuck up, multiply by infinity, extend into eternity and you still have no idea what I'm talking about.
Worse still, after five minutes all this cockhead had done was weenie his way over two confused, poorly scripted, poorly acted, poorly directed, just overall piss poor scenes WITHOUT KILLING ANYONE! Anyone is a loooooooooong way removed from EVERYONE! Oh and there was also some Scottish git doing his best to be the worst actor in the film, though considering EVERY actor was vying for that dubious distinction it would be a close call. That is if anyone was still watching this film after the first 5 minutes. I certainly fucking wasn't.
I'm not one usually for reviews or partioning scores when it comes to flicks, such things being completely subjective and all, but Hitman scores a solid ten turds out of ten. THAT is a completely objective, intrinsic property of this film.
THE worst movie I have ever laid my eyes on ever. Worse even then Series 7:The Contenders. Oooooo sooo, sooo, sooo much worse. I cannot think how a film could be any worse. Even one of those 60's flicks designed for brainwashing COMPLETE with the drugs and music is outstripped leagues and leagues by this piece of shit. Fuck at least one of those comes with free drugs. Honestly it is just beyond my imagination to come up with a film that could be any more terrible then Hitman, just as it was beyond the fertile imagination of Patrick O'Brian to ever come up with a scene more dramatic then the one-armed Nelson swinging from the quarter-gallery windows of the Captain to board the San Nicolas, and then using her to board the San Josef! Thus truth in many ways will e'er outstrip fiction. And the truth is all involved with the movie Hitman should be 47'ed.
