• Minor fixes and setting up for 2012 - the year I'm looking forward to teasing all the 2012 Doom-sayers!
OTHER:
• Keep having many wonderful ideas but losing interest in them practically moments after coming up with them.
Some recent ideas: Kids books (various ideas), art (painting and photography, even skulpting) and teaching self defense.
• After wishing for a skate board for several months I found one abandoned under a bridge!
I even painted a design onto it.

WEBSITE:
• I feel so terrible about not writing down all the movies I've ben seeing forr the last couple... or more, months... Sooo, there below they are.
• I am considering switching the purpose of this website from personal to business. All this would mean, really, is having everything that is here now accessed only when a link/button entitled 'Personal Website' or 'Marc's Corner' or something...Eesh - can't think.
OTHER:
Hmm... Really not much going on in my life other than work and getting excited about Internet Marketing. Incidentally, it's the 'Lazy Marketer's approach I'm taking. (He's got this e-booklet I can thoroughly recommend - and yes, I know enough about IM to know what I'm talking about when I say it's well worth the few dollars it costs... can't remember now, how much, rpobably $27 or some such....)
"Super" ***** - Totally brilliant! Funny!
Bullets Over Broadway (Woody Allen 1994) **** - Very funny! |

for Oct 5th, Fly On Steve!
OTHER:
• I added a NEW ARTCLE on my Weight Loss site! : "Mum was right, Government Health Authorities wrong!"
Check it out because everyone should know this - Everyone should know that for 30-40 years we've been told to lose weight we have to stop eating fat - It's BULLSHIT! Read to find out that and several other things that are actually doing the opposite to what we've been told, i.e. KEEPING US FAT!
And since I don't want to end on a morbid note (sorry Steve Jobs) -> How's this for happiness?:

Sat 30.07.11 0600 hours
WEBSITE:
• Updated Roster - Added my August holidays to it.
• Addeed the latest camping misadventure (see below).
OTHER:
• Niko and Larra are visiting QLD next month (12-22nd of January, 2012)!!!
• Had another go at camping (by myself this time) on Wednesday the 27th.
It was better in that I was actually warm this time but not better so much, in that I wanted an area where there was miles and miles of just forest land.
Learning that people like the guy that does the wilderness survival tips etc at www.m4040.com has got it spot on! *
 broom broom!  deeper into the forest...
While parking my car, LUNCH! walked right up to me!
*
 * For instance; PACK LIGHT! You can't really see it here, but I was straining with 2 back packs (one front and one behind + a bag full of tent + another bag with 8 litres (∴8 kg) of water and my heavy leather jacket.
 Ahhh beautiful Rainforest :)
 This is the 200-400 year old 'Strangler Fig'
that the 'normal' walking-folk get to see on the trail :)
 This is where I leave the track and head into the forest.
 Camp site Alpha (See the Friday 08.07.11 entry [previous] where we set up camp last time)
The idea was to proceed deeper and deeper into the forest from this point.....
When....
OH NOs!!!
 Nooooooooooo!
This is NOT what I wanted to see on thinking I was trekking farther and farther into the forest!!!!!
(It's lawn and houses and a fence!)
grrrrrrrr
After much exploring, site 'Beta' found!:
 Some whacko in the middle of the woods setting up camp
 Camp site Beta - So what I did was compromise - I picked a spot halfway between the trail and the developed land.
It was a tight squeeze between the trees but the tent just fitted.
Site by night - Does it look like the fire is giving me 'the finger'?
 MMmmmm luxury of tea in the moring :)
It was a very beautiful morning; Clear, crisp and GREEN!
...
and wow! The sheer amount of exotic birds twirting, chirping and whistling was amazing!!!
So, rather than 4 days and 3 nights, I did end up going home the next afternoon simply because where I was there just wasn't anywhere to really hike etc.
Lessons learned
- Pack light,
-
Check area (with map) in much more detail before heading out,
-
Tea was a BRILLIANT choice of something to bring camping,
-
You can make do without a mat/mattress as long as you put down PLENTY of foliage (put 4 times as much as you think you'll need - basically put down about a foot [thickness] of folliage) to lie on.

WEBSITE:
• Pretty much nothing!
OTHER:
• Went camping!
The very first thing I did when we got into the woods was slip, slide, cut my hand in two places and fall into a puddle of mud!
Awesome start!
Around midnight we almost succumbed to hypothermia.
Other than that it was GREAT!
The camping tip, 'When looking for firewood, look ABOVE GROUND', turned out to be a very good one! |

• I enjoyed my time off during the end of May - I rested a lot and watched plenty of movies and saw Anthony, Deb and Keira!
• It seems to have been a month of exhaustion as I've found myself doing very little. (Got nothing done and slept a lot)
I already feel I need another holiday.
• Attempted camping (FINALLY!!!), with ye old bud Raz, only to have a hilarious trek through the forrest, in the dark and deciding we wouldn't find a campsite in an appropriate ammount of time (to be trekking through the forrest at night). Ended in enjoying a camp-fire and going home to watch a mpvie or five. *LOL*
• Took several photos and uploaded them to My Molome Page - and my http://marcjager.tumblr.com/ page. ENJOY!
• You'd think there would be more to write since over a month has passed since my last entry but I can't think of a thing. Still feeling detached. ADIOUS OMEBAS! (No one else reads my site!) |

WEBSITE:
• Updated this page.
OTHER:
• Below are pictures of the flooding around West End (where I live) AFTER the pictures I posted o Tue the 11th January.
The flooding is now over and 4 days after losing my power it was restored. Clean up operations have been going furiously since the 13th and Brisbane is now picking up the pieces and rebuilding.
  
This is the same street(Kurilpa St) I was on for the picture on Tue 11th This picture?
- The flooding is now half-way up Kurilpa St (the the 12t of January). Me making candles because they turned the power off!
The flooding is now half-way up Victoria St (the the 12t of January).
And by the 13th, Kurilpa Street was GONE! (Right up to Montague St)
Part of Harriet St - floodeo the other side of Montague (close to my place).
Other parts of Montague and beyond(farther south) were flooded too.
Trying to get to work I turned left to get to Montague and found Harriet St,
near my place, flooded near the bottom (Montague St).
All these 4 (above and next 3 below) are of the West End 'main drag' where Boundary, Melbourne, Browning and Mollison meet up. I'm sure you know it.

This is Brisbane City during the flood of 2011.
The picture will probably only be appreciated when compared with one showing the river's normal width.

1225 update: Just making another entry as we may lose power soon. Anyone wondering, I will be just fine, thank you.
FLOOD NEWS
• Just came back from a drive around - the roads going to Brisbane River have been blocked off by police.
I'm pretty sure I'll be fine because my house is up on a hill. The worst thing that could happen to me is that I might get cut off.
I'm off to put petrol in my car now. (Which is a 4WD )
From The Brisbane Times website:
UPDATE: Floodwaters are moving into West End in the heart of Brisbane, with a number of buildings in the city's CBD also being evacuated.
Several Queensland government departments have ordered workers to go home, and there have also been reports of buildings being evacuated in Fortitude Valley.
The Riverwalk in the city has been shut off and the Powerhouse in New Farm has been closed.
Police have urged all residents who live, or are currently, near the Brisbane River at West End to move to safer areas.
"The Brisbane River has risen and we are starting to see the water enter streets in the low lying areas of West End," police said.
Two riverside restaurants in Brisbane’s CBD are evacuating and stripping their businesses in preparation for inundation.
