Wow. I had forgotten all about this.


OK doesn't matter if nobody is reading this, gives me a little piece of web-space that I can check out every now and again to remind myself what an idiot I was.

Anyway, since I last posted I have finished at uni, been to many NRL games, been to Melbourne, tried to join the Australian Army, worked on a tropical island for 6 months, almost ran away with a French-Canadian girl, went on holiday to NZ and now I'm back in Brisbane!

Maybe I'll keep this going again for a little bit but I highly doubt it, I have much more important things to do. To be honest I'm just unemployed and bored right now!

Bye.

Bro Code

Posted by LHurley

G'day all,


I have recently stumbled across a piece of ancient and sacred literature. An archaic documentation of regulations that topples the 10 commandments itself. I am speaking, of course, of the Bro Code.

Those of you unaware of the Bro Code; it is a detailed description of guidelines which Bro's must adhere too. Now I'm not going to list them all here for your carnal pleasure, you can go and discover them for yourself (a quick Google search should do the trick).

When going through the code I was always asking myself whether I had held true to the rules of Bro-therhood. A lot of them, I am proud to say, were upheld with dignity! However, there were a few which made me realise how un-Bro I had been in the past. A few years ago, me and my best Bro both had the hots for this one chick. She was about a 7, 8 on a good day. So in the Bro way, we made a pact that neither of us would go for it so as not to break the first rule of Bros: Bros before hoes.

But, I had heard that this chick had familiar feelings for me (despite her being tied down to some older dude). Anyway, they broke up and I went for it, ultimately got turned down and was left with egg on my face. Soggy, pact-breaking egg. My Bro went about things in the correct way; snide comments of pact-breaking, calling the chick crude names to me that sounded rather similar to her name etc.

I therefore take this opportunity to apologise to my Bro, who was nothing but a Bro to me. And if said Bro EVER comes to Australia he can expect some sweet, sweet free accommodation.

I like to think i've changed, only a few weeks ago I turned down buying a hot chick (I mean she was about a 9) at the bar a drink 'cause I only had enough for me and my Bro.

Redemption? Perhaps.

Differences

Posted by LHurley

I sit here, coffee in hand, insect spray in the other, having just defeated the biggest moth known to man. Sure, I could've let it live.. but I hate moths.

Well it's been a while since this page was graced with a spoonful of blogalicious goodness, and having received inspiration from a fellow blogger , I've decided to start updating this more regularly. Before I was stuck with what to write about, I didn't really think that anyone would care what I had to say and that I should just keep my opinions to myself. But seeing as everyone else is doing it... why not?

I suppose I could blog about my favourite sports team; Arsenal, but I already follow a blog on them and there's no way in hell I'll be competing with him. I'm too busy to discover another subject to research and blog on, I'm studying full time and working when I'm not studying.

All this has brought me to the conclusion that I should blog on whatever the bloody hell I like. If you don't like it or don't agree with what I say or if you want to suggest some blog-topics, please leave a comment.

Anyway, how's about a topic for today's rant? I went to my first ever Aussie Rules match last weekend. The difference between a sporting event in Australia and one in England can't be stressed enough. I've been to many football matches in my time and at every single match there was an atmosphere, singing, angry shouting etc. The whole town is buzzing on match day and there is a real sense of pride in your team. But Down Under, the fans are all mixed together and really just go to have a pie and a pint. It could just be the laid back attitude of the Aussies but fanatical supporters are few and far between.

Now this is just based on Aussie Rules, a Rugby League match is next on my list which will hopefully be a different kettle of fish. I've heard the State of Origin games are great to watch so I'll hopefully be eating a big plateful of my own tasty words.

Well I'm fed up of this topic already and I'm out of coffee. The next instalment will be whenever I can be bothered so that should keep you on your toes.

Have a good one.

Tumbleweed....

Posted by LHurley

Well a lot's happened since last week; 13 year old dads, an entire country rallying for the Bushfire appeal and English football is starting to get really frustrating! I'm fed up of waking up to find out that Arsenal drew 0-0 yet again!!

I'm also quite hurt that since I started this blog that nobody has viewed it! I know there's been nothing interesting happening on here, but still! When the time for traveling comes around I'll update regularly with photos and stuff.

Until next time!

In the beginning...

Posted by LHurley

Well I thought I'd try this out, see how it goes. It'll probably get boring after a few days and I'll forget I even made a blog. But for now, this is just going to be random posts until I get a stroke of genius and start blogging on some untapped resource.

I've got an exciting year ahead, first year of uni, I've just moved to Australia and I'm planning on going travelling in the summer. If I can be bothered I might update this with info on how things are going, photos, funny stories etc.

Let me state that this is in no way a diary... diaries are gay.
