Reporting for duty

I'm back. It's been a month and it's gone so quickly. My footy team has won zero games so I'll get the footy rant out first.
I'm getting fed up with footballers who get paid $100,000+ and still can't kick or make a decent decision. And some of them are so dumb. Lets punch the ball away from my fellow team mate who is just about to mark it. Or I'll ask for a handball on my wrong side, realise too late that it's on my wrong side, then have to turn a full circle, by which time the opposition have cornered me, then give off a handball in panic to a team mate who gets brutally assaulted by said opposition because I was too scared to take responsibility. How about chipping the ball around when you are 20 points behind? It's not like you are trying to win a game of football. I don't want to name players, but I wouldn't play Tattslotto with the following numbers: 3, 9, 16, 20, 29, 39. These numbers are definitely not lucky.
Stallion, your football team is not much better. Being 9 goals up in the 3rd quarter and losing? It's gotta be breaking your heart. How's Japan? Are you taking time off to sit back and watch the World Cup?
Rachel, I've gotta organise a trip to the territory. It sounds like it's going to be a cold winter. It must be trying following the Blues when the Pies are doing so well. Matt must be interested in football again.
During school holidays I'm going on a 10 day bus trip to Central Australia. I've never been so I'm looking forward to it. However, there will be about 40 screaming kids coming along. I hope I survive.
Reports. Reports. Reports. I've just finished writing what seemed like 1,000 school reports. It destroys your social life and sleep. Thank (insert deity of choice here) that it is over. And to think I have to do it again at the end of the year! Ahhhhhhhh..............................
Touring news.... Metal heads will no doubt be as excited as I am with news that one of my favourite bands from the eighties is touring. Queensryche is doing the Operation Mindcrime show. It's an album that I never get tired of listening to. And they have just released Operation Mindcrime Part II. They will be playing both parts. I'm there. Who will join me? I know you want to be there...
