Casey Stoner World Champion

He did it. Casey Stoner, the little guy from Kurri Kurri, who looks like he is captain of the grade six basketball team, has defeated Valentino Rossi, to become the 2007 MotoGP champion. My friend thinks he should be called 'Australian of the Year,' after doing a little charity he should definately be considered. And the interest he has created in MotoGP and Ducatti is impressive.

-onto another motorcycle rider with Stone in his name. Yes, i'm talking about none other than Simon 'Stone' Clulow. I was going to report that 'Just Like Stone' has had 1,000 youtube view, that's right one thousand!! But having a look now, it has actually had 1,182 views. Perhaps i can thank all the tags i put on it when uploading it to youtube. Stuff like, 'best movie of all time,' and 'crazy death defying stunts.' so i'm willing to bet that there are 1,182 seriously dissapointed people out. It's a good movie, but barely lives up to the tags.

-my codeine tablets are kicking in , so im going to fill the rest of this post with some family guy quotes. Yep this is my 150th post! and i'm all out. I've got nothing. I've been bounced around trying to replant the crops after the flood. I still have a few more hours of rolling to do, and a bit more harrowing. Hopefully the codeine will make it as pleasant as possible. At least the new tractor has a CD player. Rock on.

Quotes:

Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? (voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off.

Clutch Problems for Casey Stoner in Portugal 2007


In what could have been a clinching of the MotoGP world championship on Sunday night in Portugal, merely became a slight delay for Casey Stoner. For the first five laps, Casey Stoner led the race, and pulled down lap times slighter faster than Spaniard Dani Pedrosa and Italy's own Valentino Rossi. After Lap five, Stoner dropped back, letting Rossi and Pedrosa battle it out to the finish, with Stoner taking home third and 17 valuable championship points. What was truly impressive about Stoner's ride, was the fact that he lost engine braking on Lap 5, with a faulty clutch. And after dropping off the pace, the level-headed aussie taught himself to ride the faulty bike, and take new race lines. He was unable to brake as late as his opponents. And a marking of just how truly great he is, is in the fact that in the final laps he even began closing the gap on Rossi and Pedrosa, who were enjoying a tight battle to the line. Next week will see Stoner again attempt to clinch the world championship in Japan.

into the unknown

It has been reported that simon 'stone' clulow is in north korea as you read this. Apparently he needs to be accompanied by two armed north korean soldiers. That is what 'E' news reported ,, they said that 'Stone' the greatest motorcycle showman in australian history has been spotted entering North Korea with Britney Spears. Apparently he was using britney as a shield, a rather 'large' shield . lol, according to her last mtv awards appearance.

The truth is that Stone really is in north korea, and the other truth is that damn,, britney sure did look fine at that awards show. I dont see why everyone os callign her fat. She has just had two kids and looks fantastic, (now i'm not being like that weird gay guy on youtube that is tellign everyone to leave her alone) her performance was pretty stumbling, but if you saw her in the street you would think wow she is damn fine, but everyone is tearing her apart for being 'fat' and then peopel wonder why girls have an anorexia obsession. If britney is FAT than a regular girl is morbedly obese.

Anyway this could be the last time i report about Stone. He is either going to mysteriously dissapear, or kick Kim Jong Ill's ass 'Stone Style'. When Stone first told me about his mission to the asia's and then to North Korea, i asked 'why do you want to go to North Korea?' and Stone said 'you gotta do something.' --classic stone. It's so true, you gotta do something. And Simon 'Stone' Clulow is going to be one of the few westerners to visit north korea. Also, for all the fans of 'just like stone' i have been colaborating with Stone while he is in the asias on the script for the sequel. It's going to be huge, with explosions and shit.

I watched 'Sunshine' the other night-it blew my mind. What a brilliant movie. I love sci-fi's that really instill the wonder of the world and earth, because it is easy today to get caught up in financial figures and forget about what we are doing here, and all that jazz. And it takes a really insightful movie to make you sit back and say 'wow' life is kind of weird, and what's it all about. Babel which i watched earlier, was intense but didn't instill the wonder of the universe like a sci-fi can. It was more about everyone on the earth no matter what colour they are, are the same. I don't get why they had to age brad pitt ten years. I guess they wanted his character to come out and not the celebrity. As they say 'the moon plays every night to an empty audience.' But i don't think that is a bad thing at all. There is so much going on in life that why the fuck should you look at the moon, when you are worried about your telephone bill. And people say well you can blame society for that, or for plastic surgery or whatever, but the fact is: we live in society , and can never not live in it, or change it, so we have to accept it. Wow, i am really digressing, i think you can blame the wine for this tangent. Umm. my point is.. umm , ok, umm , eh, i think i remember my point, it was something like, life is esoteric (word of the week) and umm something or rather, and its only when you're drunk that you can have any grasp of the innner cogs of the world. Wow, the alcohol really brings out my poetic side. But screw it, i think my point is that no matter what a poet or doctor or garbage man or whoever, say someone honourable should live their lives, it is purely up to you. So screw off garbage man. lol.

'those flashing lights come from everywhere. The way they hit her, i just stop and stare. She's got me lovestoned. I think i'm lovestoned. She's got me lovestoned. I think that she knows. '
- Justin Timberlake - 'lovestoned'

Stewie: Did you hear that Meg? Guys can marry other guys now. So...this is awkward, but I mean, if they can do that, that is pretty much it for you, isn't it? I mean you as well pack it in. Game over.

Lois: Okay, one more minute, and then if there are two pink lines...
Peter: Oh god, I hope you're not pregnant, we can't afford another kid. We already got Chris, Stewey, Richie, Joanie, Greg, Marsha, Bobby, Jan, Mike Seaver, Carol Seaver, Boner, Urkel, Mr. Furley...
Brian: Peter those aren't your kids, that's the Nick-at-Night lineup.
Peter: Blanka, Zangeif, Chun-Li, Guile, E. Honda...
Brian: That's Street Fighter.
Peter: Red, blue, green...Brian: Those are colors.

Chris: I don't care what she says, I'm never going back!
Brian: Look you can't run away from your problems Chris. That's what I tried to do. I joined the Peace Corps and a day later I was two continents away.
Chris: Really?
Brian: Yep, but 6,000 miles and all the dope I could smoke still couldn't separate me from my problems. And this was good dope. I mean it was growing everywhere. Oh my God! This one time we got so baked we ended up eating all the food at the food the World Health Organization had airlifted in. Oh man those villagers were so pissed! They tried to chase us, but lemme just say thank God for polio.

Lazy Sunday

With a cup of coffee in hand, i turned on the tube for some easy sunday morning viewing. But, alas, i sat down before procuring the remote controls. The TV was set to one of the 'women' channels on cable. In particular Ellen Digenros or however you spell it, personally i call her Ellen the degenerate. She has her own talk show. I couldn't be assed getting the remotes so i watched a good forty minutes of her talk show. And i can say she has won me over. I won't be tuning in specially to watch her show, but if it happens to be on i'm not adverse to watching. She is really quite funny, and her 'bit' where she was taking the toll at a new york bridge was decent. Her first guest was Faith Hill, and wow, she is a beautiful woman. After a quick chat Faith sang her new hit single, and then some other guest came on and i changed the channel.

--I only wrote about that because otherwise i would write about motorbikes (which i just did the 8hour course to get my provisionals, and passed! -only 12 months now until i get my japanese road rocket, the yamaha R-1, and then not long after that until you'll all be at my funeral.)

-so anyway after ellen i grabbed the remote, watched some simpsons and some news headlines, to see all the protestors in hyde park. I'm trying to get in the spirit of defiance, and think of my own protest. I'm not a big fan of an extra set of traffic lights they just put in on the highway. It's costing me an extra couple of minutes on the way to uni. I could chain myself to the pole or cut the pole down, or i could just go have some lunch, which i think is the best option. But i do have to say that if you ever want a bunch of weird looking people, just go to an anti government protest. You know the people who hate g-8 and globalism and all that jazz. I've got nothing against them, but wow, what a bunch of wacky looking people. They probably believe the government have UFO's in hangars throughout the desert. Long haired freaks. You never see well-to-do people marching, just people who look like they haven't showered for weeks. So i guess bad hygiene goes hand in hand with socialism.
you've been a great audience. goodnight everybody!

Quotes:

Stewie: You know, I rather like this God fellow. Very theatrical, you know. Pestilence here, a plague there. Omnipotence ... gotta get me some of that.

Lois: Peter for God's sakes she's havin' a baby!
Peter: Oh that's right...and a kid's meal... and uh,I, I guess I'll have fries...if I have fries is anyone else gonna have any? Cuz,uh I don't wanna be the only one eatin' them... I'll feel like a fatty.

Lois: Chris, we know what you did.
Chris: You mean that I lied about my age to get into an Indian casino?
Lois: No.Chris: You mean about the time I had hard gas and pooed myself?
Peter: Close, but no.
Stewie: How is that close?
