Thoughts From The Diary of Me

ALL BLACKS Captain & No. 7 Richie McCaw is so tuff that...

When Richie McCaw does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up; he's pushing the Earth down.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Richie McCaw.

Richie McCaw counted to infinity - twice.

Richie McCaw's hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.

Richie McCaw gave Mona Lisa that smile.

Richie McCaw can slam a revolving door.

Some kids p1ss their name in the snow. Richie McCaw can p1ss his name into concrete.

Richie McCaw's calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; No-one fools Richie McCaw.

Richie McCaw can speak Braille.

Superman owns a pair of Richie McCaw pyjamas.

Richie McCaw sleeps with a night light. Not because Richie McCaw is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Richie McCaw.

Once a cobra bit Richie McCaw's leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

Richie McCaw doesn't use pickup lines, he simply says, "Now".

Richie McCaw sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled rugby ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Richie spear-tackled the devil and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

Richie McCaw once devoured a whole wheel-barrow full of clay to prove to a friend that the expression "Sh**ing bricks" wasn't just a figure of speech.

The only time Richie McCaw was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistake.

So 8.05am this morning I leave the house with my trusty camera in hand for a little stroll around town to take some photos..

Got the bus into town, then got the bus to Dutton Park (where the cemetery is located - trust me, just as spooky in day light!!!!), walked across the bridge to University of Queensland, got the ferry to Eagle Street Pier in the city, walked to the Story Bridge, walked back to Custom House, had a tour of Custom House with Jack - the coolest tour guide in history!!!, walked to Queens Plaza, went to Coles, went to the bus stop at Anzac Sq, got the bus home, walked in the door at 1.25pm.

That pretty much covers it... oh yeah - in the process I took 323 photos!! (I will post some soon).  And it was about 33 degrees.  No wonder I feel like I have just run a bloody marathon!!!!!!

P.S For those of you not from Brisbane or have never been to Brisbane... I walked a BLOODY LONG WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Eagle Street Pier to the Story Bridge is a good 200-300 metres (it was longer than a footy field anyway... lol)

O.J. Simpson is back in the news again.  What are your thoughts on the release of "If I Did It" and his recent arrest?

3 words... "He did it!!!!"

What was the best football highlight of the past week?

Ok so I might have the wrong end of the stick here... but I don't really care!!!  The best RUGBY highlight for me was watching the All Blacks play Portugal and Joe Rococoko had a massive tackle made on him by one of the Portugese.  Even tho I am a massive All Blacks supporter, I can acknowledge brilliant when I see it (except when its Australia playing!!!!)

Well done Portugal for a fiesty effort....

What shows are you looking forward to in the new fall TV season?

Well I am looking forward to the return of NCIS thats for sure.  I love this show and I need to see what happens.  Um also Bones and Supernatural

These are just a couple of my favourite writers....

Two Little Girls in Blue

T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

Rachel's Holiday

Well I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Sarah.  I live in Australia but I come from New Zealand and am very proud of that.  I love taking photos, its one of the best things in life to capture a moment or a smile and feel that you have accomplished something. 

These are just 3 of my photos.  The first couple are of family and the third is of a waterfall that I am still amazed that I took!!!

Sarah

I would love to print and frame this photo.  I love it, and am amazed that I managed to take such a brilliant shot and then edit it exactly how I wanted it to turn out.  This has to be one of the best and favourite photos I have

THE Shot

Do you consider yourself a patriotic person?  Why or why not?

Yes I do.  I think I am a VERY patriotic New Zealander, Kiwi, K1W1!!!!  I love NZ, even tho I live in Australia.  NZ will always be my home and I love going back to visit all the time.  I have even had the Silver Fern (worn by all our sporting teams) tattoed to my body!!! - if thats not patriotic I don't know what is!!!
