Heroes
Jack Hanes, for mine the most inspirational preacher I have encountered. And he loves missions, boy does he love missions! There's a bit of personal history there - he's stayed at our house a couple of times. He's a bit of a hero of mine, ever since I was six and he told me stories about smuggling Bibles to China as we drove to church one day! I need more heroes.. the rest are all sports related.
About me:

My hobbies: Navel gazing mostly. When I'm not doing that I like to look in the mirror.
I'm pretty involved in supporting Melbourne Victory. Love it. If you haven't been before come with me and you'll enjoy it. I also love St. Kilda, Newcastle Knights. Have just gotten golf lessons and they were fun. I play netball and indoor soccer as well.. . ! I love getting out there and being active, doing things.
I'm looking forward to leaving my job which will happen someday. I will definitely pursue a bunch of business ideas then and with the flexibility of time go sky diving again... stuff like that. I cannot wait to get my life back..
One of my favourite hobbies is the "Piss Plant"... just the other day I made 7 different flavours of spirits. They're just too tasty. Tasty... :)
Who I'd like to meet: Any prominent politician. If I could spend an hour with them, and they weren't in 'pressing-the-flesh' mode...

hello lovely!! hows it hanging?? (maybe dont answer that lol) haven't seen you for awhile and i think im having withdrawals from ur weirdo self.....hopefully catch you around soon........maybe at my party which is on the 16th jus so you know :) love rach xox
oh mat you are the cutest! thanks heaps.. hehe i appreciate it :) and i can't wait to hear it all done properly... it makes me so excited i might burst.. but then i realise it might be a long time til i get to do that and that makes me very frustrated.. so it's bittersweet! what's the new project about? i'll check it out. and yes- inara george is a genius. amazing stuff. i want to get her cd but i have to get it imported i think.. and i'm broke hehe i'm camping out to get bjork tix tomorrow nite wooo! so how ARE you?
so im sitting in the back of a year 9 english class today (im on teaching rounds again, in case you couldn't work that out) and their classroom walls are covered with their work. the back corner of the room is labelled 'issues' and all the students have created posters on the topic 'should the mexican wave be banned?' ...and one girl has stuck a picture of you on her poster! you are officially newsworthy enough to be taught as content in a school classroom.. loving it! xxx
hey man, hows it goin? Good to be back in the greatest city in the world hehe. Hey let me know what days ur free next week and we'll catch up. U have youth tonight right? Im watchin the big game, GO PIES hehe. Anyways have a good one cya dude
hii matt..newton....whose father is suposedly "john newton" wow now everyone knows that, especially the obsessive stalkers on this thing..i hope they all read it and start trying to find you in the white pages :D no need to thank me...really xoxo
i reakon chix would kick hard too... yeah the only reason i chose mixed is coz i wanted jonty to play and i'm not playing "A" grade in 1st season ever.
hey i just spoke to my sis n she said she could even be goalie (or rotate with u) coz she played that for a indoor soccer school rally day and she only let in 2 goals all day! it would also mean we could have 3 guys on the field and not 2 + 2 girls when she's in goals...
yo. last night at training we semi-finalised our indoor team to start next week. we had 3 options - to play on tuesday nights in like "C" grade without jonty or thursday nights, "A" grade with jonty or thursday nights, mixed division, with jonty... and since jake named me captain, i chose chose mixed lol. so the team will hopefully be me, u, Jonty, Jake & Chet (confirmed players) and the chix (haven't asked them yet) Liz n Chanz. We prob need another girl sub though as 2 chix have to be on the field @ all times... let me know ur thoughts...
