~*Got my TDX Back*~

Dad took me to Invacare this morning so I could collect my TDX powerchair. It was sitting there waiting for me, so Dad loaded it into the van, then loaded me into the van. We then went to MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) to pick up a set of ramps for me to try at my parents place. If I feel safe going up the ramp, let alone being able to go up the ramp, I can keep them on loan from MDA. The ramp is steeper than the ramp I'm currently using which is a concern to me and also chair & me weigh 65kg more than the usage weight for this ramp.

Dad and I then went and had brunch and then I got dropped off home. I got stuck into all my emails, I get over 40 emails a day lol, then did some posts on my boards and some other things. Has been a busy day and I am happy I have my TDX back. Should get my replacement TDX sometime in November. I watched 24 tonight, one of my favorite programs and it's getting really good, now I have to wait till next Friday to watch more.

~*Freaked Out*~

I was wheeling to the mall in my wheelchair like I normally do and went down a side street a bit so I could cross the road. A double trailer truck stopped for me so I could cross the road, I saw this silver car behind the truck too, so thinking he was stopped behind the truck no where to go and all was clear, I started to cross the road. Next minute I heard the trucks horn blaring, which caused me to slow down and also look towards the truck, and then I see this silver car speeding down the inside lane of the truck!! and past me.

Now all I could see was a flash of the silver car and driver as he was really speeding past and the guy never stopped or slowed down.

At this point I was kinda freaking out from the horn blaring and this car speeding past me, almost hitting me.

The silver car had gone out of sight, I then carried on and got to the footpath safley and turned around and waved to the truck driver who was still waiting for me to safley cross.

I then stopped for 5 minutes getting myself calmed down. I had all these thoughts going through my head, did this guy in the car see me, why was he going so fast. was he trying to hit me and why didn't he stop.

Lucky for me that the truck driver saw this car speeding down the inside lane and gave me a warning with the horn, otherwise I would have been hit.

I feel lucky to be alive again!! I don't even want to think what would of happened if this idot had hit me at the speed he was going.

~*Labour Weekend*~

It's Labour Weekend here and that means a long weekend. The shopping mall down the road from me is celebrating big time as it's been open for just over 40 years!! Yes it was open in 1963, that's 10 years before I was born!!

I went down to the mall and checked out all the sales and got a few things. I also got a free coffee from Robert Harris from the leaflet I had and also I got some other cheapie food offers. If you spend $20 or more, you can enter a draw for a Boat Cruise and many other prizes, I didn't win anything this time

Today which is offically Labour Day, I stayed home and enjoyed the sunshine and did some stuff online.

~*Busy Bee*~

Well Image hosted by Photobucket.com over the last few days. I was helping a friend of mine create a New Photo Gallery for a Community we are in. He created the gallery and loaded it from his server and I saved 14 folders full of photos to my harddrive. Once he had created the catogory's I was able to login with admin and upload all these photo's. It was a big task but I enjoyed doing it, I got to check out all the photos I hadn't seen.

I have been running my new Forum/Boards which is getting under way really well. I am wanting to add a Counter and a Guest Book to the Welcome page and add some METE tags to help promote the site.

I have also been doing my CSS Course inbetween all this and it's tricky coding. I was finding it easy till I was asked to create a CSS file with all my styles added to it and no HTML tags. Then remove my style tags and styles from my homework page and add a certian link, to see what would happen's. What happened was that even with removing my style tags and styles, and adding a link, my homework page still looked like it did before I removed the style tags etc..if that makes sence.

~*Sum 41 - The Hell Song*~

A song I like at the moment. I watched an Extreme Chairing video with a guy in an Arrow powerchair excatly like mine and he was jumping off curbs at speed, wheeling over two ramps at a time with all wheels in midair, wheeling over wheelbumps at speed, pulling wheelies and more. Saftey gear was worn which was good to see, but heck it's an awesome video clip and looks like a lof of fun. If you would like to watch the video clip, Click Here
This song by Sum 41 was playing and suited it very well.

I can pull wheelies in my chair all the time and do some of those things he has done, but haven't yet driven off ramps at full speed with all 4 wheels in midair!! Dam what an adrenlian rush!!

Sum 41 The Hell Song

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
And knowing how to change the things you've been through

I feel I've come to realize
How fast life can be compromised
Step back to see what's going on
I can't beleive this happened to you
This happened to you

It's just a problem that I'm faced with am I
Not the only one who hates to stand by
Complications that are first in this line
With all these pictures running through my mind

Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Get back
Step back
And as for me, I can't believe

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
But what else are we supposed to do

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

~*Had a Blast*~

Over the last five day's I have been out and about with family, it's been a blast. On Saturday evening my sister Anna and her bf Andy were on there way to the Black Eyed Pea's concert, Mum and Dad were dropping them off. I was watching the News and heard that the 120km winds damaged the Stadium railing and the staidum was unsafe for the concert so they had to move it to town, where they would preform two concerts for 5000 people. I rang Anna and told her that it is now in town, and that there will now be two short concerts. Those with tickets from 1-2500 go to the first concert and those with ticket #2500+ go to the last concert starting at 11pm which was the concert Anna and Andy had to go to.

They came back to my place, picked me up and we went off to the pub for drinks and food. I had a nice shaker too, first one I ever had. Anna and Andy then decided to go to the concert so we went and dropped them off in town, then headed home.

Anna and Andy turned up at my house about 2am after the concert, they said it was worth it and seemed to enjoy it, so that was good. I didn't get much sleep that night and I also had a sratchy sore throat.

Sunday we got up early and headed off to pick up Mum and my brother Ben and we headed off for an hours drive to the Snow Planet. It was an neat place, very wheelchair accessiable too. Mum and I sat in the warm resturant watching Ben, Anna and Andy skiing and snowboarding through the glass window. I got a chance to go right up to the snow area and feel the snow, which I haven't felt since I was 7 years old in England. We then all had some lunch, then came home. I watched the rest of the Bathurst race too. We had a nice BBQ for dinner. I have got some kind of cold, think it's just a headcold.

Monday, Anna, Andy, Mum and I went shopping again and that was fun. I did more window shopping this time. After a long day shopping we headed back home which took about an hours drive as we hit traffic.
Later we meet up with the rest of the family at the Bowling Ally. We had a nice dinner first then went tin pin bowling and that was a lot of fun. I was able to use a special ramp to roll the ball down as I am unable to lift the ball. I got a STRIKE too!! That was awesome and my brother got about 6 strikes hehe he was able to get good speed.

Today, Tuesday I had a good sleep in as I needed it. I just relaxed at home today. Anna and Andy came over for awhile and say bye as they leave tomorow morning.

~*Bathurst 1000 V8 Raceing - Winner*~

WOW what a race it was at Bathurst. In the first three hours the Saftey car had come out 5-6 times due to accidents. Near the end Greg Murphy had to at some point come into pits to top up on fuel which would make him loose a few seconds from where he was placed, which might cause him not to be able to catch up. The saftey car had to come out once more, so Greg Murphy took this chance to pit for fuel.

Race was back on for the last few laps, when suddenly there was a big pile up on the Mountion inluding Marcos Ambrose and Greg Murphy and some other cars. This ended Marcos Ambrose race and also ended Greg Murphys who was able to carry on but came over the line in 17th place by memory. On the crash scene Marcos Ambrose and Greg Murphy got down into a yelling match face to face, helmets off etc.

The officals say it wasn't either of there fault, but I don't know, someone has to take the blame really. From what I read in the paper was, that Greg Murphy says that he thinks Marcose Ambrose purposley slammed on his brakes and Greg Murphy nicked the side of his car creating it to flip around into the wall. From the News and the picture car map in the Herald it was showing that Ambrose was wide on the turn, Murphy was attempting to pass on the inside when Ambrose cut him short and came in on Murphy creating Murphy to nick the back of Ambrose car.

Marcos Ambrose was already in an angrey state before this crash due to his co-driver not wearing his 'Saftey' balaclava and had to come into the pits for a stop start. Yet Marcos Ambrose was asked to come into pit lane too later on if he wasn't wearing a balaclava, if he was then he can continue racing. In came Ambros to get his balaclava put on!! To me these driver's should know to wear these, they are 'Saftey Gear' and are to be worn!! So having this crash just added a cherry to the top of his anger.

The winner of Bathurst 1000 2005 was Mark Scaife & Todd Kelly in there HOLDEN Racing Team car, yea!! Holden did it again. Mark Scaife took his 5th win at Bathurst too. It was also Todd Kelly's Birthday too. Second place was Jason Richards (a NZer!!) & Jamie Whincup in the Dodo Racing Team and in third place came Steve Ellery in a Ford, his team mate Greg Lowndes crashed out.

~*My Sister is visiting*~

My sister Anna is visiting family for a week so we going to be busy. Anna and her bf Andy arrived around 8am so we had a full day out and about really. Mum and Dad picked them up from the airport then came and got me, then we went out for a Brunch which was yummy!! Wanna here what I had hehe, well let's see.. I had bacon, eggs, sausages with cheese in them, tomatomushrroms and some toast.

The weather was really crappy, it was cold, windy and the rain was very heavy and came down whenever it felt like it. After brunch we all went up to a Look Out and had a wonder, I stayed in the van. We then went back to Mum and Dad's place and mucked around there and talked. After dinner I came back home.

Yesterday Mum, Anna and I went shopping all day, it was fun. We helped Anna get some nice Summer work clothes along with having some food. We then went to another mall and did some more shopping. I got my nails done with an Overlay, make my nails grow stronger and look nice. Mum got her feet done, townails painted and foot masage. Later we meet up with the rest of the family at a resturant and had Dinner. I had Roast Pork and it was nice.

~*My Weekend*~

I went out shopping and lunch with Mum and Dad on Saturday. We arrived at the shopping area and decided to have a coffee and something to eat as I hadn't had breakfast. I had a Moccia and shared a toastie with Mum. Mum needed a new cell phone and Vodafhone had a Trade in where you get $100 off the new phone. I helped Mum decide and in the end she picked the Nokia 6020 and it is a pretty good phone for the deal she got. I bought a watch as my other watch had died on me. I was told that the new battrey didn't work and there was a lot of soapy stuff in the watch which had damaged it. I will not spend a lot of money on a watch anymore!! It''s not worth it if I'm buying a new watch every 3-4 years.

We had a late lunch and it was nice. I had two entres, chicken satay and 4 spring rolls and a nice cold beer:) Mum and Dad both had Fish n Chips, both were slightly different. Did some more shopping then I did a food shop, then we came home.

Also that morning we heard the Final Result of the Election Results from the Special Vote's and LABOUR won by 2 Seats!! Dam that was close, but a good result. It's also Daylight Saving so we had to put our clocks forward an hour before bed.

Today I did nothing at all, and it was a very wet crappy day.

~*My Week*~

Hey to those visiting my blog *waves to you all*. I had a good week, meet up with some friends at the mall for lunch, got my hair coloured again and went to the movies with a friend who had two free movie vouchers which he had to use by the end of September. We went and saw 'Into the Blue' and it was really neat, a well worth movie to see, infact I wouldn't mind seeing it again *Paul Walker is HOT!!* calm down Jenn LOL

"Into the Blue" is a high-stakes thriller set in the deep, shark-infested waters of the Bahamas. When young divers discover the wreckage of a cargo plane at the bottom of the sea, they believe their dream of buried treasure has come true. What they don't realise is that millions of dollars of illegal goods are in that sunken plane and a group of dangerous criminals are already desperately searching for it. As tensions mount and the friends begin to fight about what to do with their find, others get closer to discovering their secret - and the treasure hunters quickly become the hunted.

I now remember he was in 'The Fast and the Furious' looking hot too
