  1. Have you ever spent half your work day calling businesses in part of the country, without realising that the reason you are getting voicemail so often is due to the fact that the region you are calling is having a local public holiday due to the anneversary of its founding, making the rest of your day pointless, because the area in question is your only sales territory?

  2. Against the tide I tried to swim

    It tossed me around at its whim

    Sinking then to soon begin

     

    Sinking then to soon begin

    I fled the land at a whim

    And in the tide chose to swim

     

    So in the tide I try and swim

    I laughed at my reckless whim

    Let the beating of the rocks begin

     

    As on the rocks I did begin

    Tide taking me back on a whim

    But I will not go, and so I swim.

    A hypochondriac now, walking through the streets at night

    Ever mellowed in the fumes of the celebrated end

    Of the dreary day of toil, meandering to the evening

    Painted mannequins walking around, displaying attitudes

    Of knowledge beyond years.

     

    Feeling the ache of tired stress, seeping into the core

    Of each fibre and flexing bone, supporting ridged muscle

    I feel corrupted, corroded with decay, yet only in my mind

    Is the ailment alive, only a symptom of the path,

    The folly of advancing years.

  4. Brownies...

     

    250g butter (melted but not hot)

    2 cups caster sugar

    4 eggs

    1/2 cup cocoa

    2 tsp vanilla

    2 1/4 cups choc chips

    2/3 cup flour

     

    Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sifted cocoa together in a bowl, until combined.

    Fold in flour and chocolate chips.

     

    I bake these in two 20cm baking tins, about 4 cm deep and it works well. Allow enough room for it to rise, in whatever tin you use.

     

    Bake at 150 deg C (fan bake works well) for 55-60 min, or until there is an even crust. (I baked mine for 50 min) so watch it toward the end.

     

    Cool, then wrap in tinfoil to store.

     

    Only cut these when you gonna eat them or they dry out.

    sprinkle with icing sugar to serve, and icecream works well with it too

  5. Breath deep the watered air of thoughs, and share

    The twisted vines of vice that form each loving snare,

    Carve the path of processed thought to walk the jungle floor,

    Share the sweet aroma of fear, at your daydreams door.

     

    Chase the chaos creatures, loosed upon the mind,

    Flee the thunder of the stars, as lightening and land collide,

    Savour victory, win the chase, just to test your will,

    Drink the cup of conquest won, as you skin and blood your kill.

     

    Dream the stars of heaven spun, through the woven clouds,

    Listen to the breeze wraped trees, in their dancing shrouds,

    Watch the thought veils shimmer, as autumn turns them brown,

    Let logic fall and form your bed, to sleep through winter sound.
