Being beaten up on a football field every week is much easier to take when you’re winning.
14.12.96 to 2.0.12 can’t have been fun for the other team but I enjoyed it.
Mother Duck can visit as often as she likes!
18 months on and this still makes me laugh.
A message from the least disciplined (diplomatic description) kid in a Year 10 volleyball team I coached.
At least he’s honest.

JJJ’s Hottest 100 of 20 Years (or My Journey Through Musical Discovery)
I wanted to vote in JJJ’s Hottest 100 of the last 20 years with my favourite 20 songs. My first attempt at a shortlist had over 50 songs in it and I was only up to “F” in my iTunes library. As a compromise I decided instead to find the 20 songs that have had the most influence on my musical tastes and my appreciation for music. Though I had to leave quite a few out I think this list does a good job of summarising my journey through musical discovery.
This turned out to be much longer than I expected, so I’ve put it behind a “Read More” link to save your dashboards. Apologies if it gets a little rambly at the end, I’m tired and I have work to do.
50 lemons already picked. No end in sight.

Yet another example of how perfect this man is.
1984
“If you kept the small rules, you could break the big ones.”
“For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away.”
“Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”
