Going fishing while we are attending the wedding
It is funny just how many of my friends have been married lately. It is almost as if this period in their life came where everybody just needed to get married. I suppose it’s not so important when we are younger but what I find weird is how they have all done it in such a short period of time. Just last weekend we attended a wedding at weddings Tasmania in Tarraleah in the centre of Tasmania. I cannot even begin to tell you just how beautiful the venue there is. It is in the middle of the wilderness and has some of the most stunning scenery I have ever seen anywhere in the world. Not far from the venue there is this amazing trout fishing destination which a few of the guys and I decided we would make the most of while we were in the area. I am certain we are going to go back there as well as we caught more fish than we have ever caught in such a small period of time. It was so peaceful and quiet just sitting there in the middle of the wilderness floating on our boat catching some of the best fish in the world.

I am sure by now you will know very well that my own personal here saw Bob Dylan as his hero. Yes, you guessed it right. My hero is Steve Jobs who is the founder of Apple computers and quite possibly one of the best known visionaries in the world. He has changed the way we use computers for the better and has really made us open our minds to the possibilites that computers offer us. If it wasn;t for him I would probably not be sitting here writing this today. I am now in the process of testing out my new computer and of course it is an Apple computer. I love the styling and the ease of use of the entire device. There is nothing quite like it in the world of computing I personally believe. Anyway, take a look at these videos over here and tell me what you think about them. There are just so many great ones to look at and I am sure you are all going to love them.

Bob Dylan is possibly one of the greatest and most loved musicians of all time. His influence on the counter culture and the movement in the 1970′s is legendary. My own personal hero Steve Jobs was a huge fan of Bob Dylan and admitted openly many times that he was one of the biggest influences on his life. There are so many people out there who would have loved for him to have lived longer and to have had an even bigger impact on society as a whole. I have found quite a few good websites out there with a lot of information about him and one of the best that I have seen is Bobdylan.com. I am sure you would be able to get quite a lot of useful facts and information about Bob Dylan from their.
Stand up and bat well
So if the Australian cricketers have finished playing golf they will hopefully be able to focus of the game that starts tomorrow up in Sydney. it is going to be very important for Australia to come away with another win because India is such a good team and with players like Sachin Tendulkar ready to punce on any stray deliveries they are really going to have to make sure that their entire game is played very well. Sachin is looking to score his 100th international century and as much as I would like to see him score it, I really hope that he doesn’t do it while he is playing against Australia. If he were to do it against New Zealand, England or South Africa this would make me very happy. I hope that Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussy stand up and bat really well again because it is good to see the experienced players doing really well for their country.
Need to play golf properly
Have you ever tried to play golf before only to realise you really are not that good at it? This is exactly how I felt when I first started to play and now that I have the hang of it I am sure that I will be a lot better in the future. It was a little bit embarrassing going out on a work function and realising that I really could not play the game at all. In the industry that I am in most of the deals get done over a game of golf and not being able to play is really not a good thing. You need to at least have some basic skills otherwise you will just be hitting and the people you are playing with will think they have the upper hand straight away. If you can play on the golf course it means you have had enough time to actually master the game, and some of the guys in my business make a lot of time to get out and play when most people should be at work. This is because they have the money to not need to be working as hard as some of them.
The Aussies Won The Cricket And Now Need To Focus
I heard some great news yesterday and that was simply that the Australian’s had won the Boxing Day Test Match against the Indian team. This was completely unexpected and I understand that the Australian’s are now planning on playing a lot of golf over the coming days in an attempt to relax. I think that both teams actually played quite poorly but the Australians just played slightly better. It was good to see the big name players standing up and taking a bit of the stress on their shoulders and actually batting well. And the bowling lineup even performed quite well, but there is still a lot of room for improvement though across the entire team. I think we need to focus a bit on building a team instead of letting them change the team every single game in the hope of getting the right combinations together. We have just come through an era where the Australian cricketers were the dominant team in the world and we were just about unbeatable. Now is the time to really focus on getting a good solida team together instead of constantly changing the team around every single game. I think it is a good thing that Michael Clarke is a selector for the team and that he actually has some input into who he will be leading onto the field each game. I have heard that a few of the team like to play the pokies online and I am not so sure that this is necessarily a good thing. I would like to see them really concentrating on the game and ensuring that they are performing to their absolute best and then they can do these sort of things when they are not actually in a tournament or representing the country. The thing is that the internet is so widely used theses days and most of the team have iPads and they can access this sort of thing from wherever they are in the world.
The end of year cricket trip
I think once the cricket season is over the players will definitely be looking for some good holiday packages and I think I know exactly where they should go to get them. I have had a lot of good holidays in Thailand and our cricket team actually goes there ever year at the end of the season. We always have a great time and even though our girlfriends give us a hard time about what it is exactly we are up to we still try to enjoy it as much as possible. We train really hard throughout the year and we don’t see the point in not trying to have a good time when we go over there. Anyway, this year we will definitely be booking one of the Thailand holiday packages that we saw online the other day and hopefully the club will pay for it quickly. It is great to get the entire team together after the season to really catch up and just kick back and relax and forget about the hard training and some of the tension that builds up in the team over the course of the year. I have never seen a group of guys go on this trip and not bond better for it. We like to give some of the new guys a hard time but by the end of the trip we are all best mates and sometimes it’s hard to forget that “what goes on the road, stays on the road” because we always have such good stories to tell about our trips.
We are doing well in the cricket
So I just came back fro a good hit out down at the driving range and I am amazed to see the cricket score. Even though we are back in bat and already have 4 people out the tow basmen that are currently in are doing really well. Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting have already scored a 100 run partnership and this is a great thing for the Australian team. So far we have been playing pretty average but this partnership is looking quite promising. I wish I would have been able to see how the game was going from the golf driving range but I probably would have been disappointed to see so many batsmen getting out so quickly. Anyway, we are in with a good chance as long as our bowlers bowl well and Sachin Tendulkar and the other Indian players don’t bat very well.
Sitting here watching the cricket
Something really unfortunate happened in the past few days in the Boxing Day Test Match. Thanks to the Indian players refusing to allow the video replays to be used by the umpires a couple of the Australian players were unfairly dismissed and the players that have had this hapoen to them really did not need that. They had already been struggling for form and they were dismissed by the umpires when they really should not have been. If this didn’t happen they may have actually beeable to prove to the selectors that they were worthy of staying in the team. India is the only country in the world that does not allow the unpires to use the decision review system and there are a lot of people whi think that this should not be the case. Anyway, hopefully the Australian’s can come back and play stronger and then we can beat the Indian team and get out and play some golf for the remaining days of the game.
Did anyone see the cricket today?
I was really enjoying the cricket late this afternoon. I was sitting here watching Australlia finally start to get on top of India in the boxing day test match. Sachin Tendulkar was looking to score his 100th International century and I was hoping that that didn’t score it yet. As much as i would like to see hime actually score it I would also like to think that he will get it when he is playing another team instead of getting in when he is playing against Australia. I do like to watch him bat but I want to see Australia play really well as well and if Sachin Tendulkar is scoring cemturies there is just no way that we are going to be able to beat them in the form we are in at the present moment. And in this game the Indian players have opted to not have video replays and a coule of the Australian batsmen really got ripped off because they were not out, and if the replays were allowed then the umpires would have overturned the decisions.
