my slice of the internet
Last night I cooked a nice Indian Butter Chicken and rice for dinner. Chell and I both loved it. It was delicious and Chell even said it tasted just like Masala. 
Then we got the kids back today so we went to The Strand and I cooked a BBQ lunch which was yum. The kids had fun playing at the waterpark whilst I was cooking lunch.
For dinner tonight I’m going to cook some burrito’s, which is always good fun. Chell and the kids love burrito’s and it’s a quick and easy meal.
That is all.
I was just sitting here thinking about the things I have to pay next week, and how it leave’s no money left over — but that’s life, right?
I remember a little quip my accountant told me, that made me think, it goes like this:
Two things you can never avoid in life is Tax and Death.
Now, whilst this may be true, I beg to differ. One of them you can avoid, which is Tax. If you think about it, people like me work, and pay tax. That tax goes to the Government, which goes to police/hospitals e.t.c. but it also goes to the people not working; people living on the dole.
Which got me thinking, why don’t the people that are on the dole pay tax? The people that work have to pay tax to support the people on the dole, so they should have to pay tax to support the Government, right?
So I think the line should be:
Two things you can never avoid in life is Tax and Death, unless you live on the dole, then your tax-free.
Well, that’s just my little rant for the day, what do you think, should people that are living on the dole pay tax too?
The other day Chell and I watched a movie called Next. It stars Nicolas Cage and Jessica Biel.
The movie is about a man that can see into the future, but the catch is that he can only see his future, it involves action, murder, suspense. The plot on IMDB states:
Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling “winnings.” But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.
I would recommend you see this movie, and I would give it 4/5 stars. If you have seen this movie, let me know what you thought.
On Saturday evening, Chell, me and the boys decided to watch The Dark Knight. Matt got almost half way through it, but fell asleep so he went off to bed. Chell watched 3/4’s of it, and got bored of it.
I watched the whole movie with Jacob, but I must say that it isn’t as good as what it is made out to be, sure Heath Ledger played a great role as The Joker, but the movie itself went nowhere.
Throughout the movie it’s the same “Batman must catch The Joker”, and you get to see Two Face again, but he dies in the end (sorry if I spoiled it). But the whole story line is indeed quite boring, some of the action is good, but that would be all.
I think if I had to rate the movie, I would give it 2.5/5 stars. If you have seen it, tell me what you thought.
We got the kids back last Saturday, so decided to go on a road trip up to Paluma. Paluma is about an hour and a half drive from Townsville. It was quite cool in Paluma, since it’s surrounded by rainforest and mountains.
Chell got a bit excited about the temperature so took a photo of it saying 14c, which you don’t often get here in Townsville. We stopped at a park and had some lunch, and the kids all played on the equipment. It was cute as Emily and Tiana would take it in turns pushing each other on the swing.
After lunch went then went up the mountain and took some photo’s of the kids and all the scenery. We went for a walk through the rainforest and took a few more photos.
After the long day, we drove home and the kids, even Chell fell asleep in the car, it was a quiet trip home . I will put some photo’s up in the gallery later sometime.
Well I arrived home from work around 7:30pm tonight, was looking forward to it as Chell and I are having Masala for dinner, it is so delicious. I picked up the food, but we are looking after the kids since Micah is busy, so we have to wait for him to pick them up before we have dinner.
I’m suprised that the girls are still awake as it’s 8:30pm, we are just sitting in the lounge room watching Dora The Explorer movies that I got for the girls, they love them.
Well, that’s all for now, Micah said he will be here in about 30 minutes, and then it is me gorging on Masala! Yum!
I love you Chell
After work today Chell and I went out to dinner and see a movie, it was such a great night. We don’t go out very often, so it was nice to spend some quality time with Chell.
We went to Hog’s Breath for dinner, that place has the nicest steak I have ever eaten. Afterwards we went and saw the new Will Smith movie, Hancock.
The movie was great, it’s about a superhero who the public hates because he creates so much destruction trying to help people, and he has such a short temper.
He ends up trying to turn his life around and become the superhero everyone loves. The movie was jam packed with action, and has a few twists and turns throughout. It is a great movie and I would recommend seeing it.
Chell and I have officially set a date for our wedding which is Saturday May 23, 2009, which is 334 days away. We decided on that date since it will be our two year anniversary.
We are going to try save up some money and pay for Mum & Dad to fly up for the weekend, hopefully they will be able to make it. Now all we need to do is look at all the possible locations for the wedding, design the inites and write up the guest list.
I can’t wait until next year to be wed to my lovely fiancée (I love you Chell), I always get so excited when we talk about it, it’s amazing.
I started getting sick on Sunday, which was quite bad. I couldn’t sleep properly, coughing all the time, nausea e.t.c. It has worked in my favour though, as I am still sick, I have pretty much quit smoking which is good.
I have Tue/Wed off work, so Chell and I decided to hire some movies and be lazy / let me rest for the two days which has been great.
I was feeling a bit better yesterday, so Chell and I decided to get some prawns for dinner, and we got some garlic and made garlic prawns for dinner, they were delicious.
We dropped the magna off at the mechanic’s this morning to get the brakes done on it, so hopefully they will be all fixed. We then bought some doritos for snacks to night for when we watch the state of origin, c’mon maroons!
That’s all for now, I hope I feel better by tomorrow, this is four days now I’ve felt like crap!
Update: I awoke this morning, feeling a lot better, which is great. My throat is still a little sore. The might maroon’s dominated the field last night, winning state of origin II, the end result - QLD: 30, NSW: 0. Now all we have to do is win the 3rd and final game in 3 weeks, I know we can do it!
It’s been awhile since I last updated the blog, so I thought I should get this thing updated with some new content.
Last week Chell and I got our lips pierced, well Chell’s piercing is technically called a “Madonna”, it’s like where a beauty spot is. Mine is on the bottom left of my lip.
I have just got 4 days off work, which is quite good as it’s been pretty busy lately. Chell and I are going to Airlie Beach tomorrow and spending two nights in a nice resort. It is quite a special occasion as it’s our one year anniversary, it must be fate as it’s when the 4 days off fell on the roster for me .
Airlie Beach is just near the Whitsundays, so hopefully we can go snorkeling or something like that in the awesome crystal clear blue ocean.
I’ve put some new photo’s of Chell and I in our gallery, you can see our new piercings .
Oh, I almost forgot, Chell bought me a cool Bathing Ape (BAPE) hoodie, which you can see here or also in the gallery.
