A Bolt out of the Beijing
Posted by: Mick on: 21 August 2008
Had to stay up tonight to watch some history.
History in the form of the freak of nature that is Usain Bolt.
If anyone stayed up on Saturday night, you would have seen Bolt win the 100m, in a stroll. He looked like he slowed down to win the highlight of the track in 9.69 seconds. A [...]

I’m loving the Olympics right now.
I didn’t think I was that interested in it coming this time. I didn’t feel there was much hype about it or build up.
I have great memories of past Olympics. All the way back to the ‘Moscow..Moscow…tra la la la la la la’ theme from the 1980 Olympics (I was [...]

It’s been a while since I have been anticipating a new Aussie drama on TV.
To be honest, I watch very little TV.
I became bored with the CSI’s and Law n’ Orders such a long time ago and the number of regular shows I watch could be counted on one hand.
But Channel Nine’s new show, [...]

The 3rd annual J Awards are going to be announced on Friday (Wolfmother – 2005, Hilltop Hoods – 2006) and there are some mighty contenders for the prize this year.
One category. One Winner. The best Australian Album of the year.
I like the fact that the J Award will go to a band that has had [...]

I have mentioned my love for the Fooey’s many times before on this blog.
My man love for Dave Grohl knows no bounds and I think if I was half the musician and all round nice guy he was I’d be happy.
So I am especially aroused when I see they are coming back again next May.

I’m scared of what could happen today.
I’m excited at what could happen today.
I’m nervous about what won’t happen today.
I’m happy about what WILL happen today.
I’m tired, but optimistic.
BRING IT THE FUCK ON.
Gilchrist, the best? Pull the other one.
Posted by: Mick on: 19 November 2007
I’ll probably be shot for this, but I DON’T LIKE ADAM GILCHRIST.
Never have. Never will.
Even right back to the beginning when he was brought in to replace Ian Healy. I thought it was crap that Heals was dumped before the first test in Australia and didn’t even get to farewell his home crowd at the [...]
